Chapter 1195: Goodbye, Second Brother (15)

“Dad, I know you’re only sleeping. Open your eyes.”

But that person did not react.

Right at this moment, for an odd reason, a word came to his mind: karma.

Dad had killed Qiao Lian’s parents and, to prevent his father from being punished by the law, he had destroyed the account book, thinking that would save his father’s life. But right now, his father had still ended up paying with his life.

Lu Nanze hung his head.

He looked at his own hands and suddenly buried his face in them.

Around the same time, two police officers came up to him and asked, “Mr. Lu, someone reported an accident here. Hence we’re here to investigate. May we ask a few questions? Was this someone’s deliberate action or was it a pure accident?”

Someone’s deliberate action or a pure accident?

How could this have been an accident?

Lu Nanze looked up immediately and fixed his eyes on the police officer.

Dad was dead. And those who had harmed him should not live a good life.

But he didn’t want them dead, he wanted them to live in sorrow.

Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes and said slowly, “Of course it was somebody’s doing. Qiao Yiyi deliberately wanted to harm us, she killed my father!”

As though he had suddenly found strength again, he got to his feet slowly and said, “I want justice for my father!”

–

Qiao Lian found out about Dad Lu’s death from the news on the second day.

She had cried all night and finally fallen asleep at 3 a.m.

She was giddy when she woke up the next day and looked rather frail and dispirited.

Shen Liangchuan wasn’t by her side when she woke up, hence she thought that he must have gone downstairs to exercise.

As she didn’t feel like getting out of bed, she picked up her cell phone and browsed through it. Then she saw the news.

When she did, she was stunned.

Dad Lu was dead?

Dad Lu… was dead.

How could this be possible?!

She widened her eyes and stared at the news article in horror. She read it another time but still found it hard to believe what she saw.

She looked up in a daze and, at the same time, heard the door open. She looked at the source of the sound and saw Shen Liangchuan walking in.

She held the phone out to him and started, “This—”

“It’s true.”

Shen Liangchuan pursed his lips and sat down next to her. Lightly patting her head, he said, “Qiao Lian, in this world, there is always a natural order of things. It’s not that there isn’t justice, rather than it was not the right time! The bad guys will be punished. Even if your parents’ names have not been cleared, the perpetrator has got his just ending, so will you now let go of some of these things?”

Would she let go?

Was there any point in these words when the people were dead?

The despair and devastation she had felt a day ago when she had seen the account book burnt right before her eyes now turned into understanding.

She felt the heavy load weighing on her heart suddenly get lifted and her skies began to clear.

She smiled and said, “That’s right, why punish myself over someone else’s mistake?”

Shen Liangchuan nodded and paused for a moment. Then he asked, “Lu Nanze will be holding the funeral in three days, will you go?”

Qiao Lian was silent for a moment.

Then she nodded and said, “Yes, I will.”

Shen Liangchuan nodded too.

As long as she faced all of this bravely, she would start to leave the matter behind her.

The account book had been burnt to ashes and there was no way they could come up with another one. The only thing they could do was accept reality.
