Chapter 503: Premature Death and Pretend to be White Moonlight 32
"I didn't lie to you," Shen Weicang said with a genuine look of anxiety.
"It was Qinghuai who rescued me from the banquet hall last night. I saw Linzhou wanted to go back to save you, but the banquet hall caught fire and he was injured and passed out, so I had to send him to the hospital first."
There was indeed a fire in the banquet hall last night. Lu Ningge couldn't help but feel a little moved again. She clutched her pajamas sleeves and looked away:
"Even if he wanted to go back, didn't he still take you out first?"
Shen Weicang's tone was somewhat puzzled: "It was Qinghuai who brought me out last night. Ningge, why do you think it was Linzhou who brought me out?"
Gu Qinghuai coughed and said, "Maybe she was dazzled. It was too chaotic at the time. My clothes were a bit similar to Lu Linzhou's. She must have made a mistake."
"How could I be wrong?" Lu Ningge frowned, "I clearly saw it with my own eyes..."
"Cang Cang," Gu Qinghuai interrupted her, "Let's not talk to her about this anymore, let's go find Uncle Lu first."
After being reminded by him, Shen Weicang suddenly came back to his senses: "Yes, let's go."
Seeing that she was about to drag Gu Qinghuai towards the basement, Lu Ningge said unhappily: "By the time you come back to plead for him, Lu Linzhou would have been beaten to death by my father."
Shen Weicang's face turned pale, and her tone became even worse: "Lu Linzhou is upstairs now, you really hope that he will be punished in the basement for a day."
"Ning Ge, thank you," Shen Weicang looked at her gratefully and asked tentatively,
"Where is Uncle Lu now? Can you come with us to find Uncle Lu and explain?"
Lu Ningge moved his gaze to the side impatiently, only to find that she and Gu Qinghuai were holding hands, and immediately frowned.
She remembered that Shen Weicang had said several times with certainty that it was Gu Qinghuai who saved her, and suddenly felt absurd:
"You weren't hit by the chandelier last night, so what's wrong with your brain?"
Gu Qinghuai interrupted and said, "If she doesn't want to go, forget it. Cangcang, I'll go with you."
Lu Ningge's attention was diverted again, and he couldn't help but sneer:
"What's the point of going now? The punishment has already been paid. Why don't you wait until he is beaten to death before coming back?"
Gu Qinghuai held Shen Weicang's hand and walked upstairs beside her. Hearing this, he snorted:
"If we beat him to death, there won't be just the two of us here. Your father will have to go to jail too."
"You've been here all day, why didn't you stop your dad? It's really funny that you're blaming Cang Cang now."
"Why should I help him?" Lu Ningge said stubbornly, "What does it have to do with me how he's beaten?"
In fact, if she hadn’t spoken up, Lu Linzhou’s fate would probably be even worse than it is now.
"Qing Huai, don't say that. When Uncle Lu gets angry, even Ning Ge can't stop him."
Shen Weicang persuaded gently, and the two of them went upstairs quickly.
Lu Ningge turned around and looked at the two people's backs, and couldn't help frowning.
Was Shen Weicang frightened silly? It was clearly Lu Linzhou who carried her out last night, but she actually said that it was Gu Qinghuai who saved her?
Thinking of the tragic sight of Lu Linzhou's bloody back, she couldn't help feeling a little unfair.
Lu Linzhou was beaten like this by his father because he rescued Shen Weicang first, but Shen Weicang actually recognized the wrong person.
Lu Xiangshan was talking on the phone in the study. He stood by the French window and looked at the scenery outside. His tone was a little strange: "The shooting incident in Country M has nothing to do with Lu Linzhou?"
"Director Lu, we really haven't found any evidence to prove that Lu Linzhou was involved in that incident," the man on the other side reported meticulously.
"Lu Linzhou doesn't have any power, and he can't even reach Country M."
Lu Xiangshan frowned, thinking of the expression on Lu Linzhou's face when he looked at him, and still had doubts in his heart: "Check again, check in detail."
Suddenly, he thought of something and added, "Check his relatives."
The other party was obviously puzzled: "But haven't his parents already..."
"If you can't find the closest relatives, check the distant relatives. Check all his relatives!" Lu Xiangshan interrupted him with a sinister tone.
"After we find out the clues, we will find a way to find someone to do it, and don't leave any evidence behind."
After hanging up the phone, he returned to the table, picked up a cigarette, and was about to light it when there was a knock on the door.
Lu Ningge didn't need to knock when entering his study. He asked, "Who is it?"
Shen Weicang's voice rang out from outside the door: "Uncle Lu, it's me."
Lu Xiangshan paused and said, "Come in."
Shen Weicang pushed the door open and came in: "Uncle Lu."
"Cang Cang," Lu Xiangshan said with no expression on his face as he sat down in the chair, "Are you back?"
"Uncle Lu," Shen Weicang and Gu Qinghuai walked to his table,
"I need to explain to you what happened last night. Brother Linzhou wanted to go back to the banquet hall to save Ning Ge last night."
"But there were too many people and he couldn't squeeze in. He was injured later, so we had to send him to the hospital first."
Lu Xiangshan didn't react: "Don't worry about this matter, I know what's going on."
"Uncle Lu," Shen Weicang knew in his heart that Lu Xiangshan didn't care about the truth at all, but his face still had an anxious expression.
"Brother Linzhou really didn't abandon Ningge last night."
She actually just brought Gu Qinghuai to show up in front of Lu Xiangshan:
"It was Qinghuai who rescued me from the banquet hall. Linzhou wanted to rescue Ningge the first time."
Didn't he want her to marry into the Gu family? She let Lu Xiangshan see clearly whether Gu Qinghuai would agree to the marriage as long as she didn't want to.
A dark light flashed across Lu Xiangshan's eyes, and he asked calmly, "Cang Cang, was it Qing Huai who rescued you last night?"
Shen Weicang subconsciously glanced at Gu Qinghuai, then quickly looked away, shyness appeared on his face, and he whispered, "Yes."
"I was wrong about Linzhou," Lu Xiangshan sighed without asking any more questions.
"I was just so angry, and I regretted it afterwards. I have already asked a doctor to treat his wound."
He stood up and walked to the sofa: "Sit down and talk."
"You two are destined to meet each other. Last night, your uncle Gu and I wanted to introduce you to each other, but we didn't expect you to meet each other first. Now you are even saving a beautiful girl."
"It seems that this is the fate that brings people together, and there is no need for anyone to act as a matchmaker."
He noticed last night that Gu Qinghuai was interested in Shen Weicang. He had long known about his adopted daughter's abilities, and it was not surprising to him.
It's just a pity that the original intention of arranging the marriage was to use her to contain Lu Linzhou, but now it seems that she is no longer useful.
Gu Qinghuai laughed:
"That's right, Uncle Lu, have you ever heard of a saying that the work done by the gods in heaven cannot be taken away by mortals?"
"You and my uncle were trying to steal Yue Lao's job last night. It would be unlucky if it wasn't my uncle."
Lu Xiangshan didn't expect that he would take the initiative to talk about this matter in front of outsiders. The smile on his face paused:
"Qinghuai, how is your uncle?"
"Nothing much," Gu Qinghuai said lightly.
"There are too many pieces of glass stuck in my back and the back of my head, so I shaved off a lot of hair. Now it's not convenient for me to meet people."
Then, he shook his head helplessly:
"I went to visit him last night and he got mad at me and threw things at me, and he ended up falling off the bed and breaking his leg again."
"Uncle Lu, I wanted to remind you yesterday, but I never had the chance. I always felt like there was something wrong with your legs. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Gu Qinghuai kindly advised: "Find some time to get a checkup."
