Chapter 560: Chapter 560: The Death of Lu Shengqing

Lu Mingzhen stood there, his eyes reddening: “You know how kind your elder brother was. Whenever you got into trouble, didn’t he always plead for you, and protect you? Search carefully, I want to know if your brother’s death was an accident or murder! If he was murdered, I will make the killer pay, I don’t care at the cost.”

“I’ve been investigating but the leads left behind were limited. Furthermore, after my brother’s fall from the cliff, not a trace of him remained. The cleanup team found his car, but the water had washed away any evidence.”

Lu Mingzhen was silent for a long time before he choked out: “So my elder son’s remains haven’t been found yet?”

“No.”

Lu Lingche looked out the window, his voice a low murmur: “That cliff is too steep, the search is extremely difficult. Finding the car frame itself was a challenge.”

Lu Mingzhen, struggling to restrain his grief, said: “Nevertheless, we must find him. Only then can he be laid to rest.”

“Actually, I wish we never find him.”

“What?”

“That way, I can believe that my brother is still alive.”

Tears slipped from Lu Mingzhen’s eyes, forcibly held back: “At the beginning, I also tried to fool myself. But then the police said that there was no chance of survival for anyone who fell from that cliff. Moreover, the possibility of a serious accident before he fell was quite high. Otherwise, why would he send you a message to say his last words?”

The mood of Lu Lingche became particularly heavy.

In fact, he too knew that under such circumstances, his brother couldn’t have survived.

His father was right. If his brother could send him a WeChat message as his last words, it meant that before the fall, he already knew he was beyond saving.

“Dad, before his end, my brother must have known that Lan Yuyi was pregnant with his child. That’s why he entrusted me to take care of Lan Yuyi.”

“So what?”

“It’s strange that my elder brother mentioned only Lan Yuyi and not anyone else. Moreover, he didn’t even directly tell me about Lan Yuyi’s pregnancy. Don’t you think that’s quite unusual?”

“What is unusual about it? He mentioned only Lan Yuyi because she was pregnant. If he didn’t say anything about the pregnancy, maybe he didn’t get the chance before he fell off the cliff.”

“No, my elder brother had the time to say it. He could have even said it as the first sentence.”

Lu Mingzhen cast a sidelong glance at him and scoffed: “Maybe he knew you are not a good person, that you are a devil. He was worried that if he told you about it, you would harm his only son in this world to take over the family property.”

Lu Lingche responded indifferently: “My elder brother knew I was a devil but he would never be afraid of me taking over the property. He was not that kind of man. If I wanted the property, he would have given it to me without hesitation. He cared about me more than you did.”

“Your elder brother was a kind man!”

“So, your conjecture does not hold. The reason my elder brother did not tell me about Lan Yuyi’s pregnancy must be something else.”

“What else could it be?”

Lu Lingche’s eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness: “Maybe, the murderer who killed my brother was watching him as he sent me his last words!”

“What?!”

“That’s the only explanation for why he didn’t tell me about Lan Yuyi being pregnant with his child. The murderer who killed my elder brother wouldn’t spare his child. That’s why my brother subtly hinted at me to take care of Lan Yuyi, fearing that the killer would learn about the child’s existence.”

Lu Mingzhen’s whole body grew cold and a surge of anger erupted in his heart.

He knew his younger son was a genius with a high IQ. He usually didn’t care about a lot of things, but once he seriously considered something, his deductions were logical and often very close to the truth.

He believed his younger son’s words almost instantly: “Then you should uncover this murderer for your elder brother! Take revenge for him!”

“I will.”
