Lu Yihan's voice was furious, and his eyes were bloodshot. "I can't just let this go. I can't just let this matter go!"
"Then what else do you want? Kill me to help your mother vent her anger? "
Lu Yihan looked at the indignant Lu Shiyun. He was really heartbroken. This was his biological father, but he had never really known him as a person.
"You think that everything you've done in your life has a reason, right? Including everything you've used unscrupulous means to get! "
He pointed at the luxurious office and pointed at the door of the office. His lips curled into a cold smile. "All of this is what you've been dreaming of. What have you done to expand your company? What have you done to hide those secrets? From the beginning to the end, is money, power, and benefits the most important thing in your heart? Is everything else just fleeting clouds? You've lived for so many years. Why don't you feel that God is watching everything you've done? Why don't you believe that karma exists in this world? "
Lu Shiyun's face turned even paler at Lu Yihan's words. His lips even turned black, but he was still struggling. "What nonsense are you talking about? What karma? These four words are most suitable for your mother. Let me tell you, Yihan. You're my son. Everything I do is for you. Do you think it'll be good if word gets out about your mother's current state? I- "
"Enough!"
Lu Yihan couldn't take it anymore and interrupted Lu Shiyun loudly. He shook his head, and something hot and wet welled up in his eyes. "You still want to find excuses for yourself. You still want to be good to my mother. She's cheap. She believed you, she cooperated with you, and she even found another man outside. She gave birth to a daughter that wasn't yours. You're angry, and she only has herself to blame for everything. Then what about the Leng family? Tell me — what about Leng Dongming? Did you lock him up for five years because he was cheap? What about Leng Xinyu? She was even more despicable, so she let you take advantage of the situation and let her marry me. If it wasn't for the sudden appearance of Qin Fangang, how do you think she would have ended up in a rich and powerful family for five years? I've always hated Qin Fangang for using such an insufferably arrogant attitude to snatch away the person that belongs to me, but now I feel that I should really be grateful to him. Do you know why? "
“”
What Lu Shiyun was most worried about was that if Li Muhua really fell out with her, she would definitely tell others what she knew.
However, he did not expect that the first person to know about it would be his son.
This was also the question he was most afraid of. Now that he heard Lu Yihan say this, he was even more certain that Li Muhua must have told Yihan. He still looked calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was already in turmoil. The hand holding the walking stick clearly showed how tense his emotions were at the moment.
"Can't say anything? Alright then, I'll help you answer! "
Lu Yihan sniffed, his bloodthirsty eyes staring fixedly at Lu Shiyun's pale face. He reached out and pointed at Lu Shiyun's nose. Every word he said made him feel incredulous, and also made him grit his teeth in hatred.
"Five years ago, my mother's younger brother, who is also my uncle, was the City Committee Secretary of City C. How did he die? Sudden death? Haha, how could a perfectly fine person suddenly die for no reason? I really don't dare to believe that you are actually my biological father. Did you give birth to me? For more than twenty years, I've been with my father for more than twenty years, but why are you so unfamiliar to me? Why are you so scary? So cruel? You still don't want to admit that Li Binxian's death has something to do with you, right? Even if you don't admit it, I have evidence! "
"I, I was muddle-headed back then, but at that time, I didn't have a choice. One of them was my younger brother, who didn't live up to expectations. After becoming an official, he didn't do what he should, but did what he shouldn't. Half of the responsibility for his death was his own. He was my younger brother, so Lu Shiyun naturally wouldn't give up such a good opportunity. Back then, they worked together on many projects, and almost all of the government's contracts were monopolized by the Lu Corporation. It was during those years that the Lu Corporation grew rapidly, but in the face of money and power, everyone had to bow their heads. Very quickly, problems arose in their collaboration. I'm not too sure what happened, and Lu Shiyun wouldn't tell me everything. I've only heard from your uncle that the municipal building on the east side of the city was also linked to the Lu Corporation at that time. Later, something must have happened, and there was a deficit of 1.5 billion dollars. When this fell on your uncle's head, no matter how muddle-headed he was, there was no way he wouldn't have reacted. "That day, he went to look for Lu Shiyun. Although your uncle sometimes lusts after women, power, and money, he's still someone who has been in the government for many years, so he should still have some vigilance. That day, before he left, he specially called me. I clearly remember that it was around 8pm, and he asked me to go to a hotel in C City that was still called Sheng De Yue. Five years ago, my relationship with Lu Shiyun wasn't as bad as it is now. Occasionally, when he attended some cocktail party and needed to bring his family along, he would also bring me along to support the scene. After all, our Li family hadn't declined at that time."
When the recording pen reached this point, the female voice suddenly coughed. She had probably said too much and was exhausted. She paused for a moment before continuing —
"Lu Shiyun has always been a cautious person. Your uncle was very close to him in the past few years, and his reputation outside wasn't particularly good. But at that time, he was the Municipal Committee Secretary, and rumors were just rumors. There wasn't anything that could be used against him. Even if there were rumors that he was corrupt, no one could investigate anything, so naturally, no one dared to say anything. That day, when I received your uncle's call, I could tell that there was something wrong with his tone. After thinking about it, I still rushed over.
"It was raining that night. I originally planned to let the chauffeur drive, but the chauffeur happened to be on leave, so I drove myself. I usually don't take the initiative to drive myself, so I wasn't very good at driving. When I was on the road, the rain was even heavier. Midway, I accidentally hit the railing on the side of the road and hit the bumper of the car. But I was fine, and no one was injured at that time. Plus, I was in a hurry, so I just drove away. When I arrived at the hotel, I called your uncle and realized that his phone wasn't picked up. So I booked a room at the hotel, took a shower, and called your uncle again. Still, no one picked up. I saw that almost two hours had passed, and I felt that something was wrong. Plus, your uncle had told me the room number before, so I ran over to look for it.
"Actually, I really don't know what happened at that time. I only know that when I arrived at the room your uncle told me about, your uncle was already dead. I don't know how it happened, but at that time, there wasn't only Lu Shiyun in the room. There was also a woman I didn't know. Later, I found out that the woman was Leng Xinyu's mother. Her name was Tao Wantian. The next day, I heard that she committed suicide to escape punishment, but her body was only found three days later. Because at that time, she admitted that she killed your uncle by accident. At that time, your uncle was drunk and wanted to rape her. She fought back in self-defense. Lu Shiyun roughly told me what happened. He said that he was only five minutes earlier than me. At that time, I was scared out of my wits. How could such a scandal be exposed? Plus, Tao Wantian jumped into the sea to commit suicide. In order to protect your uncle's reputation, I chose to swallow the insult. Plus, Tao Wantian also died. Later, I heard that Leng Dongming, Leng Xinyu's father, went crazy. It was probably because of this incident that in the end, Leng Xinyu was brought by your father to marry you. At that time, I strongly opposed it. How could I accept such a woman as my son's wife? But at that time, your father told me that he was looking out for the big picture. He said that we were pure businessmen. Now that such a thing happened to the Li family and they used the sudden death of your uncle to hide the real cause of his death, I didn't dare to cause any trouble. At that time, if I wasn't careful, I would have gotten into a lawsuit. "
"I was forced to accept Leng Xinyu as my daughter-in-law. All these years, I really haven't treated her well. I've always hated her. Lu Shiyun probably knew about this too, so she was sent abroad as soon as she married you. And because of your uncle's death, my relationship with Lu Shiyun fell to rock bottom. All these years, we basically didn't interact at all. We lived our own lives and didn't get in each other's way. We waited until Leng Xinyu came back, and then Qin Fangang came back."
“”
Lu Yihan pressed the recording pen, and the female voice came to an abrupt end. He raised his head and stared unblinkingly at Lu Shiyun's face. Looking at his deathly pale face, he looked like a ghost. His own heart kept sinking.
Although time could drown out a lot of facts, it couldn't completely change the truth. It was like a mirror that settled under the sand. After a long time, it was as if people really couldn't see any traces of its existence. But when a strong wind blew away the sand, the mirror would slowly be exposed and shine on you. It would let you see clearly what kind of face you had in the mirror.
"You, you listen to your mother's nonsense."
"Is it nonsense?"
