Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
i Shu noticed his emotional instability and kindly smiled, “It’s okay, Mr. Yan. We appreciate you sharing so much with us. We’re really sorry to have taken up so much of your ti.”
“No need to be so polite.” Yan Fu seed a bit awkward. “If it weren’t for Su Huai’s sister back then, I might have died already. Is this Su Huai’s son?”
Lu Si forced a smile and reached out his hand, “Hello.”
Yan Fu quickly shook it and then smiled apologetically, “Speaking of which, I’ve been irresponsible all these years, just leaving like a coward. I shouldn’t have done that. Your parents saved my life. If you ever need anything from , just ask, and 1’11 do my best to help you.”
“Okay, thank you.” Lu Si didn’t bother with niceties and simply accepted before escorting Yan Fu out of the private room together with i Shu.
When the two returned, Lu Si’s expression was even more grim than before.
i Shu didn’t know how to comfort him, so she tried to lighten the mood, “Although he’s clearly trying to absolve Su Ling of any bla, it doesn’t an we don’t have other ways to continue our investigation.”
Lu Si suddenly turned to her, “Why do you think he’s lying?”
i Shu fell silent and shook her head, “1 don’t know. We still know too little about what happened back then. Tonight, 1’11 go see Master F and try to infiltrate the foreign police system with him to see if we can find any overlooked clues.”
Lu Si slamd the table with frustration, “We need to start investigating that so-called beast. 1 refuse to believe that with so many patrols on the island, nobody encountered it, and yet it only chased after my mother and them!”
i Shu nodded in agreent, “It’s indeed suspicious. We can start investigating from both angles. But, Si, I’m not entirely sure that Su Ling is behind all this. It’s just speculation on my part. If it turns out to be indeed an accident, I’m worried that you’ll…”
“Shu’er, you don’t have to say that. I’ve always wanted to investigate this matter myself. Whether it was Su Ling or not, 1 want to find out the truth personally.”
Lu Si didn’t want i Shu to bear such a heavy burden; she was the one who needed comfort the most.
“Then let’s split up and investigate. Ah Si, this ti, let help you,” i Shu held his hand, her expression innocent and sincere.
She just wanted to do her best to make him feel better.
Lu Si embraced her tightly, burying his head in her shoulder for a while, as if he had been healed, and then regained his composure. “Do you want to co ho with first? Grandfather is very worried about you. He just can’t bring himself to visit you actively, but the steward told secretly that he’s been secretly inquiring about your situation every day.”
i Shu smiled, holding his hand back, “Sure, 1 just made so tea last night. It’s perfect for him.”
With that settled, they let Jiang He drive them ho.
As soon as they entered, i Shu saw Jiang Hai standing by the door, quietly observing Lu Si from head to toe. “Are your injuries all healed?”
Jiang Hai glanced at Lu Si before kneeling in front of i Shu with a thud, “I’m sorry, Miss i, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t made a mistake and passed out from being shot, you wouldn’t have been in such great danger. I failed to protect you. Please punish .”
i Shu quickly helped him up, “It’s not your fault. At the ti, you only had three bullets, but you had to deal with three ard rcenaries. It was really difficult for you. It’s not your fault, you don’t have to bla yourself.”
Jiang Hai looked up at i Shu, full of guilt and surprise, “Miss i…”
Jiang He ca over to smooth things over, “He’s been worried that you’re mad at him, Miss, so he hasn’t dared to co near you, but he’s been hoping to see you in person to apologize.”
i Shu shook her head helplessly, “It’s really not your fault. On the contrary, if you hadn’t been lurking by Su Ling’s side, 1 might have been in even greater danger this ti.”
After speaking, she glanced toward the living room and asked, “Is Mr. Lu inside?”
“He’s in there.” Jiang Hai was puzzled by her title for the old master but obediently replied, “Mr. Su is also here.”
“Grandfather is here?” Lu Si was surprised. “When did he arrive?”
“This afternoon.” Jiang Hai lowered his voice, “The old master wanted to give you a surprise, so he didn’t let anyone inform you.”
Lu Si held i Shu’s hand and walked inside, “Grandfather, why did you suddenly co to the city? Why didn’t Grandma co with you?”
Su Zhi sat on the sofa with a smile and said, “I ca to see you and Ling. I didn’t expect this child to say that she was coming to see you. She didn’t even co to the Lu family to greet you. She’s getting more and more outrageous.” “Ling must have her own things to take care of. Why bla her? Ah Si is her junior, he should have gone to visit her first.” Lu Ting smiled and waved Lu Si over, then glanced at i Shu with a hint of kindness in his eyes..
