"Your mother jumped into the sea from here all those years ago."
He turned his head and looked down. From this height, it was almost impossible to survive a fall. Lu Suowei reached out and patted the railing.
Each pat seemed to make it feel as if he was about to fall.
Lu Jinsheng frowned slightly. "Is this what you wanted to tell me?"
He knew all this too. But his mother didn't die. She was being held captive by someone, but he had no idea who that person was.
Lu Jinsheng couldn't hold back any longer, and his clenched fist loosened at this moment.
"My mother didn't die. Do you know where she is?"
Lu Suowei looked at him, a smile curling up on his lips. "Lin Enjin is a femme fatale! They say beautiful women have short lives, but I risked my life to save hers. Of course, she should be grateful to me."
"What do you mean?" Lu Jinsheng always felt that things weren't as simple as he made them sound.
There was no need for Lu Suowei to lie. Every word he said now was true.
"Enjin is very beautiful. Since Lu Ziqian didn't know how to cherish her, it's only natural that I protect her."
"For all these years, she's always been by my side. I've been so good to her that she'll never forget it and will never leave me."
Lu Suowei watched as his expression gradually changed. At that moment, he felt extremely proud, and his joy was uncontrollable.
"I've protected her very well, but now I've also hidden her away."
Lu Jinsheng reached out to grab him, but Lu Suowei dodged. He looked smug. "Lu Jinsheng, do you want to know where I've hidden her?"
Lu Jinsheng's expression was extremely serious, and the hostility in his eyes couldn't be hidden at all. "Tell me, where is she?!"
He almost gritted his teeth as he said this.
The man in front of him was really too much. He had hidden his mother away for so long. He was simply despicable.
Lu Suowei let out a smug laugh.
At that moment, Lu Jinsheng seemed to guess something, but it was too late by the time he reacted.
Lu Suowei's low voice echoed in his ear. "In your dreams. I'll make you suffer for the rest of your life!"
After saying that, he leaned back directly. The railing broke, and he fell off the cliff along with it.
Lu Jinsheng stood there. He couldn't see anything anymore. Lu Suowei had done such a thing just to make him suffer.
He took a deep breath and turned to leave.
This Lu Suowei had long since lost the will to live, which was why he had proposed coming here in the end.
But before he died, he still left him a mystery. He just wouldn't tell him exactly where Lin Enjin was hidden.
Just as he was about to return to the city, he received a call from Shen Jianyi.
"Where are you?"
"By the sea," Lu Jinsheng said in a low voice, trying to hide all his unpleasant emotions. "Lu Suowei jumped into the sea and committed suicide."
"What?" Shen Jianyi immediately stood up from the sofa. At first, wasn't Lu Suowei in the hospital? What on earth had happened?
But this wasn't what Shen Jianyi was most worried about. She was worried about Lu Jinsheng.
"And you? Are you okay?"
Lu Jinsheng was in a low mood and even spoke reluctantly.
"I'm fine." He took a deep breath. "My mother... has been hidden by him all this time."
Shen Jianyi was completely stunned. This news was really too astonishing. She had thought of many people, but she had never thought it would be Lu Suowei.
"Yiyi, I'm going to the Lu family's branch mansion now. Do you want to come with me?"
Shen Jianyi didn't hesitate at all. "Of course. I'll come right away."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan looked at her in confusion, with a hint of coquetry in her voice. "Sister, where are you going? Can Weiting go with you?"
Her sister was right beside her, but she couldn't be happy, all because of what had happened to Lin Enjin.
"You stay at home and accompany father. I'll be back soon. Don't worry."
Lu Yuan nodded obediently.
Shen Jianyi didn't tell them what she was going to do and just left the main building directly.
She had to hurry over to check the specific situation. This was really too absurd.
What on earth had Lu Suowei done all those years ago? Why had things turned out like this?
Moreover, if Shen Jianyi remembered correctly, the maid had called Lin Enjin "madam," which meant that actually Lu Suowei had always had feelings for her.
Thinking of this, Shen Jianyi felt it was too incredible, even a bit unbelievable.
...
At the Lu family's branch mansion.
The two of them arrived almost at the same time. Shen Jianyi closed the car door and rushed straight towards Lu Jinsheng.
She stopped in front of him and asked in confusion, "What on earth is going on? Hurry up and tell me."
Hearing this, Lu Jinsheng's mood was extremely low. "He hid my mother by his side, but I don't know exactly where."
So now Lu Jinsheng could only start from here. Now that Lu Suowei was dead, he didn't know who else he could ask for information.
"Then let's go in first!"
The two of them walked straight towards the hall. The maids recognized Lu Jinsheng, so they didn't stop them.
Lu Jinsheng turned to look at one of the maids and then asked, "Where's the madam?"
Hearing this, the maid was obviously stunned. She looked at the people beside her nervously and then replied boldly, "Did the eldest young master remember wrongly? The madam passed away when the young master and the second young lady were born."
The person she was talking about was Lu Ming's biological mother, but what he was asking about was Lin Enjin.
And just now, this maid was so nervous. It was not hard to see that they actually knew, but no one dared to speak under Lu Suowei's order.
Lu Jinsheng walked around the hall but didn't find any clues.
He thought of going to the study. As soon as his hand touched the doorknob, the maid immediately walked over and said very responsibly, "Eldest young master, the master hasn't come back yet. He's ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave the study casually."
"If the eldest young master is looking for the master, he can wait in the living room first. We don't know when the master will be back."
This maid was really glib. No wonder she was trained by Lu Suowei.
He didn't intend to take his hand off the doorknob. Instead, he replied calmly, "Your master won't be coming back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly opened the door of the study.
The maid couldn't stop him. Similarly, she didn't understand what Lu Jinsheng meant just now.
The study was very clean.
Apart from a desk, there were row after row of bookshelves. It looked clean and tidy.
But for some reason, Lu Jinsheng always felt that this room was not simple.
