Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fang Zikai carried his small school bag and handed Fang Zicheng’s small school bag to him. He did not notice his parents’ abnormality and even said to Fang Yusheng, “Dad, I discussed this with Brother last night. We want to eat roasted wheat, egg pancakes, and soup dumplings this morning. Let’s go to Uncle Lu’s restaurant for breakfast this morning.”
They had not been there for a few days.
Fang Zicheng also said, “Yes, I want to eat soup dumplings too. Is Dad sending us to school today or the chauffeur?”
Fang Zicheng carried his small school bag and planned to go to school.
Looking at his two sons, Fang Yusheng finally spoke.
“Let’s eat at home this morning.” His tone was solemn.
Fang Zicheng and Fang Zikai looked at each other and were both puzzled. “Why?” Doesn’t Dad also like to eat breakfast at Uncle Lu’s house? Fang Zikai said again, “Can’t we go to Uncle Lu’s restaurant to eat? I’ve already promised Eldest Brother that I’ll bring her shumai dumplings this morning. Dad, are you going to make your precious son go back on his word to a girl?”
Fang Yusheng’s lips moved a few times. Fang Zicheng and the rest heard Fang Yusheng say, “In the future, you don’t have to go to Uncle Lu’s place for dinner anymore.”
“Why!” This time, even Fang Zicheng did not understand.
Fang Yusheng turned his head to look out of the window and did not explain. The two little fellows looked at Qiao Jiusheng in confusion. Only then did they realize that Qiao Jiusheng’s eyes were red.
Qiao Jiusheng said with tears in her eyes, “Uncle Lu is dead.”
!
The two children widened their eyes.
Fang Zikai’s face turned pale.
Fang Zicheng was stunned for a moment before he quickly returned to normal. “How could this be?” Fang Zicheng asked softly. Fang Zikai seemed to have lost his soul and did not react.
He was not indifferent, but he was scared silly.
Fang Yusheng then explained, “Last night, they were found dead at home.” What Fang Yusheng did not tell the children was that they had been killed, and their deaths were terrifying.
No one could believe that the kind couple would end up in such a miserable state.
Fang Zikai gasped.
Fang Zicheng asked, “Then… Lu Yinxi?”
“Yinxi is not dead.”
Fang Zicheng heaved a sigh of relief.
Fang Yusheng added, “But she seems to have been scared silly. She’s still in the hospital.”
“Can I visit her?”
Fang Yusheng shook his head. “No, Lu Yinxi can’t see anyone now.”
“Why?”
“She’s afraid of seeing people. She screams the moment she sees someone. We’ve already gone to take a look.” Qiao Jiusheng said.
They had found out about Boss Lu and Madam Lu’s deaths at 11 pm last night. Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng had gone to their house last night. When they arrived, Boss Lu and his wife’s corpses had just been carried away.
The police had already investigated the scene and confirmed that there were no valuable clues left behind before informing someone to pull their bodies away.
When they arrived, the blood in the room had yet to dry.
Qiao Jiusheng closed her eyes, which were red.
Boss Lu’s blood splattered on the shoe cabinet at the entrance, while Mrs. Lu’s blood sprayed all over the ceiling and sofa in the living room. It was said that Mrs. Lu and Boss Lu’s throats were pierced by a sharp and hard object and they died kneeling on the ground.
Kneeling was a gesture of atonement.
The murderer was here for revenge.
Fang Yusheng had been to the police station. The police said that this might not be a revenge killing, but it might be an ordinary vicious murder. Perhaps the murderer was a psychopathic murderer.
Qiao Jiusheng and the rest did not have a deep relationship with Boss Lu’s family, so they naturally did not know who their family had offended. The only thing they could do was ask the police to spend more effort to investigate this matter carefully and find the real culprit.
Lu Yinxi was Boss Lu’s orphan, and the father and daughter had saved the Fang family’s life. The two of them went to the hospital late at night. When Lu Yinxi saw them, she roared and screamed as if she had seen a ghost.
After knowing this news, Fang Zicheng and Fang Zikai could not eat their breakfast.
Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng personally sent them to school.
When they passed by Yuan Yuan’s breakfast restaurant, Fang Zikai and Fang Zicheng could not help but turn their heads to look at the breakfast restaurant. There was no one at the entrance of the breakfast restaurant. The passers-by hurriedly quickened their pace, as if they were afraid of being stained by bad luck.
When such a murder happened, the people nearby were all terrified. No one knew if this was a revenge killing or a simple perverted crime. No one wanted such a thing to happen in their own home. Who wouldn’t walk around this place when passing by?
Fang Zicheng narrowed his eyes and said to Fang Zikai very calmly, “Stop looking.”
Fang Zicheng retracted his gaze.
He stole a glance at his brother and asked softly, “Brother, aren’t you sad?”
“What is there to be sad about?”
Fang Zikai said, “Uncle Lu is such a good person. He treated us so well and even saved you. He… he died. Aren’t you sad?”
Fang Zicheng said, “He’s already dead.” The dead could not be revived, so what was the use of being sad? Besides… “I don’t know what sadness is.” When he heard the news of Uncle Lu’s death, his heart did stop for a moment, but Fang Zicheng didn’t know what sadness was.
His emotional disorders were indeed improving, but he would only have some emotional changes when they were related to his family. To outsiders, he was always like as calm as water and as cold as ice.
Fang Zikai sighed and said, “Sometimes, I envy you and pity you.”
Upon hearing the two children’s conversation, Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng did not interfere.
After sending them to school and watching them enter school, Qiao Jiusheng suddenly said to their backs, “We’ll pick you up in the afternoon too. Don’t walk around.” Qiao Jiusheng was actually a little flustered.
No one could guarantee that something like Boss Lu’s incident would not happen again.
It would be better if he died from revenge. If the perverted killer was committing a crime, it would be very dangerous. Qiao Jiusheng did not dare to risk her family’s life but was suspicious. During this period of time, she planned to personally pick up the children.
“Okay.”
After watching the children enter the school, Fang Yusheng held Qiao Jiusheng’s hand. He patted the back of Qiao Jiusheng’s hand gently with his palm. This was a comforting gesture.
Qiao Jiusheng grabbed Fang Yusheng’s hand.
“Why is such a good person so miserable?”
Fang Yusheng remained silent.
Compared to Qiao Jiusheng and the rest, Fang Yusheng had more opportunities to interact with Boss Lu. Fang Yusheng had suffered more from Boss Lu’s death than any of them. However, he was the pillar of this family. Even if he was panicking, he would not show it.
“It’s just pitiful for that child Yinxi.”
“Sigh.”
Qiao Jiusheng thought of Lu Yinxi’s future and said, “Does that child have any relatives? If not, we can…”
“She has two uncles and a grandmother. It’s not our place to adopt her.”
“I see…”
…
Before this, there had never been a similar crime in Binjiang City. After that, Binjiang City was calm and there was no similar tragedy. Boss Lu’s death was finally determined to be a revenge killing.
The police believed that the motive for this murder was revenge.
However, there was no conclusion as to who the enemy was and why the two parties became enemies. Lu Yinxi, who was the only one who saw the crime scene but survived, became reclusive after being frightened.
She did not like to talk. She did not even remember everything that had happened before.
