Chapter 147 Discovery
Chapter 147 Discovery
Xu Cheng's scalp was tingling, and Lu Zhanming's face became even gloomier.
The next second, Lu Zhanming slapped Lu Shiyan hard. Lu Shiyan turned his head away and did not compromise.
"Lu Shiyan, how long are you going to make this mess?" Lu Zhanming roared. "Don't forget your status. The Lu family won't tolerate any nonsense from you. Do you think the Xu family will let you go? The Xu family members are as cunning as ghosts."
Lu Zhanming was panting as he spoke, and his crutch made a thud-thud sound on the ground.
Even the look in Lu Zhanming's eyes when he looked at Lu Shiyan didn't contain any trace of joking.
"The Lu family is not in peace now. Don't you know that?" Lu Zhanming's expression remained serious.
He pointed his cane at Lu Shiyan. "Besides, you know better than anyone that a marriage between the Lu and Xu families needs a child to stabilize it. Otherwise, the Xu family will always have concerns. And now, you're obsessed with a little orphan girl."
"..."
"What's so good about that little orphan? Even if her father saved you and you raised her, all that debt has been repaid. Have you treated her unfairly? You've given her the best food, clothing, and other necessities. If it weren't for you, she would have been homeless by now, maybe even dead. What else would you have done?"
"..."
"Heh, Lu Shiyan, don't think I'm unaware of your thoughts. She's your adopted daughter, and to the outside world, she's a member of the Lu family. You being involved with her is incest, you know that! If the Xu family wants to use this to control the Lu family, you're the one who's absolutely at fault."
"..."
"You think you're so great, don't you? Can you guarantee that you can protect her 24 hours a day? If there's even a slight mistake and the Xu family thinks she's a threat, she'll be dead! Are you going to break off relations with the Xu family then? You're putting yourself at risk!"
Lu Zhanming spoke every word clearly.
Even Lu Zhanming's expression gradually darkened. "Lu Shiyan, I absolutely will not allow you to make fun of the Lu family. Now that this little orphan girl is in trouble, it's a good thing for the Lu family. I'm leaving my words here today, and this matter ends here!"
After saying that, Lu Zhanming sneered: "Look at yourself now! Get ready!"
After he finished speaking, Lu Zhanming left the office without looking back, and the office door was slammed shut.
Lu Shiyan placed his hands on the table, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, and the extremely suppressed emotions almost swallowed up all his emotions in an instant.
Xu Cheng didn't dare to say anything.
It wasn't until Lu Shiyan stood up and tugged at his tie that he gradually calmed down.
But the sinister look in Lu Shiyan's eyes could never be dispelled.
When he looked at Xu Ming again, Lu Shiyan seemed to have returned to normal, hiding his emotions tightly.
"How is the progress in New York? This is Lu's first high-end luxury home in New York, and there can't be any mistakes!" Lu Shiyan changed the subject and gave the order in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, the team in New York are the best in the industry, and nothing will go wrong." Xu Cheng responded.
Lu Shiyan nodded and said nothing.
It seemed as if all these gloomy feelings had been hidden by Lu Shiyan.
But only Lu Shiyan himself knew clearly that the matter of Nan Sheng was like a needle piercing Lu Shiyan's heart, and he could not let it go.
But on the surface, Lu Shiyan remained calm.
"Mr. Lu, what about Miss Nan..." Xu Cheng was silent for a moment and spoke hesitantly.
The DNA results are out, and Nan Sheng’s body must be dealt with.
The only thing I asked for was where Lu Shiyan wanted to bury Nan Sheng.
"No matter how much it costs, find someone to preserve the body and then restore all the facial features." Lu Shiyan said solemnly.
Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment, feeling that this was unreasonable.
But when Lu Shiyan spoke, Xu Cheng didn't dare to disobey: "I'll do my best."
Lu Shiyan didn't say anything. It was a subconscious intuition that this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
But Lu Shiyan can't find any evidence now.
Lu Shiyan was silent for a moment, then turned around and called Ji Qingcang, "Do me a favor. Have someone personally extract the DNA from that body and do a new comparison. Tell me the results."
"Do you suspect there is a problem?" Ji Qingcang was surprised.
"It's just a small stream, flowing from upstream to downstream. It won't cause any trouble, and it's impossible for it to appear after so many days." Lu Shiyan was very calm. "Besides, sometimes the truth everyone wants to tell you is definitely not the truth. Nan Sheng's death is a good thing for many people. From what I know about Nan Sheng, she is very smart and knows how to avoid risks. Since she was able to calmly beat these people to death even when being raped, do you think she would panic in other situations?"
Lu Shiyan's words left Ji Qingcang speechless.
Nan Sheng was raised by Lu Shiyan, and probably no one knows Nan Sheng better than Lu Shiyan.
"I understand." Ji Qingcang responded.
Then he was quiet for a moment: "If the body is not Nan Sheng, you——"
"I will find her even if I have to dig three feet deep into the ground. She is mine in life and my ghost in death." Lu Shiyan spoke solemnly, each word clearly spoken.
Ji Qingcang's thin lips moved slightly, but in the end, he said nothing.
The two of them didn't say anything else and then hung up the phone.
……
A lot of news about Nan Sheng was suppressed.
But the gossips in Haicheng were all about the news that Nan Sheng had an accident, and some even pointed out that Lu Shiyan went to the grove in North City that day to find Nan Sheng's body.
When Jiang Yue saw the news, she was ecstatic.
Nan Sheng's death was good news for Jiang Yue, as it would allow Song Xiao to completely give up.
But Jiang Yue didn't intend to tell Song Xiao, she had her own thoughts.
It is true that Song Xiao brought me to Boston, but that does not mean that Song Xiao is really with me. Song Xiao has never given up on Nan Sheng.
So under such circumstances, Song Xiao has actually been paying attention to Nan Sheng's news.
During the year he was in Boston, he studied hard and started a business.
Isn't it just to be with Nan Sheng and have enough ability to compete with Lu Shiyan?
So Jiang Yue wanted Song Xiao to contact Nan Sheng himself, but he failed time and time again. He was so desperate that he had completely given up hope.
Jiang Yue is not stupid. She doesn't want to argue with a dead person because she will never win in this life.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Yue carefully deleted all the messages from the web page, and even disposed of Song Xiao's computer.
Avoid Song Xiao from finding out.
Just as Jiang Yue was doing these things, Song Xiao suddenly pushed the door open, catching Jiang Yue off guard.
Now, she instantly became flustered and looked at Song Xiao awkwardly.
Song Xiao walked in with a frown on his face: "Why are you touching my computer? Also, why do you know my computer password?"
Song Xiao's tone was questioning.
