Chapter 382: Chapter 382: Do You Know Who It Is? It’s Song Wanlin, It’s Her!

“If Lu Ranglian gets released, I’ll ask, is there no justice?” Zheng Manhua slammed the table in anger.

Her father-in-law sat across from her, raising his eyes to look at her. Zheng Manhua felt a pang of guilt, “Dad, I’m not venting my anger at you; my attitude is wrong. But why? Does Fanfan’s suffering mean nothing?

Who is he? When he can’t win, he targets children. Should I go and blow up the Lu Family now?”

Qin Zhongyi said nothing. He was just startled by his daughter-in-law and had no intention of blaming her.

Leaving aside his daughter-in-law, he was also furious. Lu Zongsheng’s life is a life, but is his grandson’s life not a life?

Using such means, Lu Ranglian deserves to be shot.

“Zhengyuan, what’s your opinion?” he asked his son.

“Old Three has evidence. He will come back, and when he does, I will submit both the evidence and witnesses. If the organization still wants to cover up, then I will act without anyone knowing.”

What he meant was for Lu Ranglian to die.

“Old Three is coming back?”

Qin Zhongyi showed a slight smile and waved his hand, “Don’t be impulsive. I’ll discuss this matter with those above.”

“How will you discuss it?” In the Huo Family study, the Huo patriarch asked Huo Zhenqing, “Lu Zongsheng is about to die. He doesn’t care about posthumous honors for himself or any benefits for the Lu Family descendants. He only has one request, for the organization to give his son a chance.”

“How can the mistakes Lu Ranglian made be forgiven? He colluded with Japanese spies and organized the murders of Huanhuan and the others. Can this be forgiven? What’s the point of the law then?”

“You…!” Huo Fuhai said, “He colluded with Japanese spies. How did he collude with them? Just because he met with that Zhenai Qianxia once? His confession states clearly that they are old acquaintances, that he went to have… with the spy. He didn’t know that person was a spy.”

Jiang Zhenguo and Zhenai Qianxia were old lovers and didn’t know that she was a spy either. Lu Ranglian not knowing fits the logic.

Despite their disbelief, there’s no sufficient evidence; it’s been fourteen years.

He indeed shouldn’t be forgiven, but Lu Zongsheng shamelessly pleaded for him.

“What will Jian Jingchuan think, and what will those thousands of sacrificed soldiers think?” Huo Zhenqing said, suppressing his anger.

“This matter needs more time; it’s not something achievable quickly. Right now, it’s just a proposal. Even if they want to release him, how to release and on what grounds all need to be studied. Why rush?”

The Shangjiang Team sent Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye two letters of introduction, and the two no longer returned to the Shangjiang Team, heading directly from Yan City to Nanwu City.

Zhang Changqing from Anguang County secured a booth for the Shangjiang Team, totaling over twenty square meters, a bit small, and not in a great location, but at least there was a booth.

During this time, Zheng Siqi, Chen Dewen, and Luo Jinhao all returned to prepare for the “Southern Trade Conference,” organizing exhibits to be sent to Nanwu City, printing additional brochures, and tirelessly practicing foreign languages.

In mid-April, the group set off from the Shangjiang Team bound for Nanwu City.

When Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye arrived in Nanwu City, Jian Jingchuan was there to pick them up. He was aware of the recent events in Yan City and, although he couldn’t return due to his duties, he had reported to the leaders on that side to ensure the safety of the two kids no matter what.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zongsheng collapsed first.

“Dad, will Lu Ranglian really be released?”

Jian Jingchuan was driving, and there wasn’t a fourth person in the car. Jiang Xingye sat in the back, with the father and daughter in the front.

The daughter’s tone was not pleasant. Jian Jingchuan glanced at her hastily, “Whether he is released or not, what’s the difference? Being released might not be bad, not being released might not be good.”

“He hasn’t been judged yet. If he’s judged and released, I would have nothing to say.” Xu Qinghuan said defiantly.

Jian Jingchuan took a moment to rub his daughter’s hair, “What, you want to see the organization become a laughingstock that much?”

If he had been judged, Lu Zongsheng wouldn’t have had the chance to plead.

It was Lu Zongsheng who didn’t want it judged all along, never giving up on this son.

Lu Rangli couldn’t be helped up, and the once hopeful Lu Jiabai wasted by Song Wanlin. Lying on the hospital bed, he still thinks about the Lu family’s future. If Lu Ranglian doesn’t come out, the Lu Family will be excluded from the circle, never able to return again.

Xu Qinghuan agreeing to perform surgery on Lu Mingxu proved that Lu Mingxu still had value. After Lu Ranglian’s release, they could properly cultivate Lu Mingxu, which would be the Lu family’s opportunity in the future.

Unfortunately, neither the Qin Family, the Huo Family, nor the current Yue Family agree.

The day Xu Qinghuan left Yan City happened to be the day Qin Zhengze returned to Yan City, stirring the entire Yan City circle with his return.

He held part of the evidence about Qin Baifan being abducted by human traffickers while Qin Zhengyuan had another part. Together, their evidence formed a closed loop, submitted to the organization.

Lu Ranglian colluding with the traffickers and targeting Qin Baifan was just to control the Qin Family.

The news spread, causing an uproar throughout the city.

In the hospital, Ye Xiumei came to visit the Old Master. She pierced a big needle into the acupuncture point on his head, “Dad, isn’t Rangli your son? Isn’t Jiabai your eldest grandson?

In what way is Jiabai lesser than Lu Ranglian? You’re wasting the last chance on Lu Ranglian, not even giving Jiabai a shot, why?”

Lu Zongsheng was stunned by Ye Xiumei’s brutality.

“How’s Jiabai now?” Lu Zongsheng asked.

“Jiabai is doing just fine!” Ye Xiumei responded puzzled, “What’s wrong with him? Or have you heard something again?”

“He took a long leave from the army, and when due back, he hadn’t returned, indulging himself in debauchery outside. What kind of opportunity do you expect me to give him?” Lu Zongsheng asked.

Xu Qinghuan raising the issue in front of Shao Lizhong meant the Yan City circle would soon know about it, rendering Lu Jiabai useless!

Ye Xiumei staggered back a few steps in shock, “It’s all Lu Nianying’s fault. I said from the start not to adopt that child, but you all didn’t listen. She’s ruined my son, she ruined him.

They were clearly just cousins and became much closer! Song Wanlin, and you all, you’re executioners!”

Lu Zongsheng closed his eyes. At this point, how was he supposed to say it was Song Wanlin and not Lu Nianying?

But Lu Jiabai knew deep down; he couldn’t get past it himself.

“Now that things have reached this point, what do you plan to do? Can he still be brought back?”

By the time the nurse found Lu Zongsheng in deep coma, the big needle in his acupuncture point had been there for two hours. Attempts to save him failed as he was too far gone.

The Lu Family was notified to prepare for his funeral.

Lu Jiabai returned home drunk. Seeing her son, Ye Xiumei heartbrokenly rushed to him, “Jiabai, your grandfather is dying, go see him off at the hospital!”

Many people were bound to come to see Lu Zongsheng one last time; having her son there could leave a good impression with those important figures.

“See him? Why should I see him? What kind of scum is he that I have to see him?” Lu Jiabai smirked deviously, “And you, get lost, don’t cling to me!”

Ye Xiumei cried, “It’s my fault, I should have stopped them. Don’t worry, I will make sure Lu Nianying pays for this with her life, and once she’s dead, nobody will know about this.”

“Lu Nianying?” Seeing Ye Xiumei cry, Lu Jiabai instead laughed happily, “What’s this have to do with Lu Nianying? You know who it was? It was Song Wanlin, it was her!”
