658 A New Motive for Murder

“No!” Di Cheng immediately shook his head. “Wouldn’t it be faster if I just killed you?”

Lu Gan shook Song Ci’s hand. “Stop struggling, and accept the fact that I’m your brother-in-law.”

Di Cheng was speechless.

Second Young Miss Xu Qin suddenly turned to look at Di Cheng, “I heard you arguing with dad a few days ago. Why?”

Di Cheng spread his hands. “I told Dad that Sister and Young Master Lu are not suitable and asked him to reconsider. He didn’t agree, so we fought.”

“Wait a moment.” Song Ci also recalled, “Did Dad know you’re not his biological son? I remember you told me a few days ago that Dad had been cold to you recently.”

“That was because of our argument,” Di Cheng explained.

“It’s also possible that Dad knew you were not his biological son.”

“I don’t know,” Di Cheng replied.

“You really don’t know?”

“You don’t believe me, Sister?” Di Cheng wanted to cry but had no tears.

Song Ci looked at his pitiful face and was about to comfort him when she heard Lu Gan say, “She’s my fiancée. Naturally, she’ll only trust me. Right, my dear?”

Song Ci shook her head. “Not necessarily. I only trust myself right now.”

Lu Gan was shocked. “You doubt me?”

“I doubt everyone,” Song Ci replied.

Lu Gan said, “But I don’t doubt you.”

“That’s because I’m clean, to begin with.” Song Ci smiled.

Lu Gan was speechless. He held Song Ci’s hand tightly. “It’s alright. I will prove my innocence with my actions!”

“Good luck,” Song Ci said. Though, she did not have many suspicions about Lu Gan. After all, Old Master’s death would not benefit Young Master Lu. “That’s all I found,” Song Ci said politely.

“Then, let us continue. Young Master Lu, who loves his wife deeply, will go next,” Xie Chuan said.

Lu Gan was very satisfied. “Not bad. I like that you called out my love for your sister. You can sit in the front during our wedding.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Lu Gan began to talk about the evidence he had found on his side. “I was with Little Ci, so what we found was similar. However, I came across this in Second Young Miss Xu Qin’s room.” He picked up a photo. It was a group photo of Second Young Miss Xu Qin and Gao Jing. “The back of this photo says, ‘Why did you break up with me? I’m in so much pain, Gao Jing.’”

Song Ci looked at Second Young Miss Xu Qin. “You and Young Master Lu’s friend, Gao Jing, are… lovers?”

Second Young Miss Xu Qin looked at Gao Jing sadly. “Yes. However, he said he doesn’t love me anymore. No matter how much I tried to persuade him to stay, he wouldn’t agree. Gao Jing, don’t you have a heart?”

Gao Jing looked indifferent. “Second Young Miss Xu Qin and I have already broken up for a year. It’s all in the past. There’s no need to bring it up again. Besides, I don’t have any motive to kill Master. Let’s go to the next person.”

Lan Xue, who was Little Ci’s best friend, suddenly said, “Not necessarily. I found a wallet in Gao Jing’s room. There was a photo of a girl in the wallet. It wasn’t Second Young Miss Xu Qin, but a girl named Meili. At the back of the photo was written, ‘If it wasn’t for him, you wouldn’t have died. I’ll take revenge for you in a while’. Who was this girl? Who do you want to take revenge on? Is it Old Master?”

Ji Yue took the photo and glanced at it. “This person… I’ve seen her before. I asked her to tutor Young Master before.”

Di Cheng added, “Indeed, it was during my high school years. Once, when I sent her out, my father happened to come back. At that time, he even asked me who she was and said she was pretty.”

“Then it makes sense,” Song Ci said. “If Madam Ji didn’t lie before, she and Driver Wang were once a couple. Old Master saw that she was beautiful and snatched her away. Later on, Old Master took a fancy to Meili and wanted to take her away, too, causing an accident to happen to Meili. That’s why Gao Jing came to take revenge for his girlfriend.”

Hearing this, Gao Jing could only answer. “Meili was indeed my girlfriend. Two years ago, she found a tutoring job. She was very happy at first, but slowly, she became depressed every time she came back from work. I asked her what happened, but she wouldn’t say anything. The next day, she said she was going to see someone, but she got into a car accident and never came back. I’ve been investigating who she was going to see and why her personality changed so much. Only a year ago, I found out her death might have something to do with Old Master. So, I got close to Second Young Miss Xu Qin, fell in love with her, and then dumped her. That was my revenge.”

Second Young Miss Xu Qin was shocked. “You scumbag!”

“If you knew it was Old Master who caused Meili’s accident, why only get rid of Second Young Miss Xu Qin as revenge instead of killing Old Master?” Lu Gan was puzzled. “That can’t be right.”
