nZhu Mingzhan did not think Song Yujin was lying, but he was unwilling to accept it. So, he continued to coax, “Why was Lu Suo the only person who went to save Zhu Yi? No one else noticed?”

n

n“When Lu Suo went to the bathroom, he heard the sound. That’s how he found out,” said Song Yujin.

n

nZhu Mingzhan quickly asked, “How did you know? Did Lu Suo teach you to say these words?”

n

n“I saw it.”

n

nSong Yujin’s voice was cold.

n

n“When you guys left, the other children bullied Little Suo. After that, Little Suo went to the bathroom. I was worried he might be bullied again, so I followed him. That’s how I saw everything.”

n

nLu Gan looked at Song Yujin.

n

n“Who bullied him? What did they do?”

n

nSong Yujin replied, “They said a lot of unpleasant things to Little Suo,”

n

n“Like what?”

n

nLu Gan pressed.

n

nLu Suo quickly shouted, “Song Yujin, don’t say it!”

n

nLu Gan turned back and glanced at Lu Suo. The latter’s expression had changed from shock to grievance.

n

n“I don’t want you to hear it.”

n

nSong Yujin kept quiet.

n

nLu Gan did not press further. He told Song Ci to cover Lu Suo’s eyes.

n

n“Yujin, turn around as well.”

n

nLu Gan suppressed his anger and tried his best to be gentle.

n

nSong Yujin obediently turned around.

n

n“Bang!”

n

nFollowing that sound, screams and cries could be heard.

n

nSince Lu Suo’s eyes were covered, he did not witness Lu Gan’s anger or the injury on Zhu Mingzhan’s shoulder.

n

n“Lu Gan! What are you doing?!”

n

nLu Suying stood up and roared.

n

nLu Gan glared at Lu Suying. His eyes were filled with hostility.

n

n“My big brother may be dead, but I’m not! I won’t discipline your grandkids, but I will punish you and your son! You better make sure they never slander Lu Suo again!”

n

nLu Suying dared not speak anymore.

n

nLu Gan looked at everyone else who was present in the room.

n

nHe said in a cold voice, “All of you are strong and healthy. Your desires are endless. You want to take everything and that’s fine. It doesn’t matter. However, I’m different. My legs are crippled. All I have is my family. If anyone wronged them, I’ll make sure they end up like me. Challenge me if you think you’re capable!”

n

nLu Gan had always been a petty person. He would say and do whatever he pleased. After the accident, his temperament became worse. If someone offended him, they would have to withstand the counterattack of a madman.

n

nAfter seeing that everyone remained silent, Lu Gan was finally satisfied. He continued in a deep voice, “Now, apologize to Little Suo.”

n

nLu Suying was the first to apologize. Lu Gan had hit her son’s shoulder with an ashtray. Even so, she held her breath and dragged Zhu Mingzhan out.

n

nLu Jie and Lu Hongchang also apologized unwillingly.

n

nLu Gan then stared at his father.

n

nLu Hongyong hesitated for a long time. In the end, he said to Lu Suo, “Little Suo, I wasn’t suspecting you. I just want to know the truth. Don’t think too much about it. I’m sorry.”

n

nLu Suo sneered in his heart but acted innocent externally.

n

n“It’s okay. I don’t blame you, grandpa. It’s Zhu Yi’s fault.”

n

nSince Lu Hongyong only treated Lu Suo as a child, he was not really bothered by this matter.

n

nLu Gan did not waste any more time and said, “Let’s go.”

n

nThe family of four turned around.

n

nBefore leaving, he went to Lu Heng’s room so Lu Suo could get changed. The owner of this room was once regarded as the most outstanding person in the Lu family. However, in just less than a year, those who praised him had almost completely forgotten him. They even worked together to bully his son. Clearly, these people had no regard for the dead.

n

nAfter returning to his villa, Lu Gan comforted Lu Suo for a while before returning to his room. Song Ci was worried, so she followed him.

n

nAs for Lu Suo, he went to Song Yujin’s room.

n

n“Little uncle…”

n

nSong Yujin was reading.

n

nHe looked at Lu Suo but as usual, his expression did not change.

n

n“I won’t tell my sister and your father. Don’t worry.”

n

nSong Yujin did not beat around the bush. He knew why Lu Suo was here.

n

nLu Suo’s eyes widened in an instant. Song Yujin had indeed seen everything! Before this, he had his hopes up. Now, everything was shattered.
