Soon, the phone lit up. Old Zhao sent an audio file.

Lu Shi clicked play.

“…Old Elder Lu insisted that the blood of the Lu family couldn’t be brought up outside, it’s difficult to control and is likely to cause trouble. So, he told Lu Shaochu to bring the child back and raise it under Fang Weiyun’s name. Lu Shaochu thought about it for two days before agreeing. However, they weren’t aware that Fang Weiyun also came to know of this.”

“…That night, it was raining heavily and many flowers in the garden were stunted. Fang Weiyun went out after lunch and didn’t return even after dark. Lu Shaochu called Fang Weiyun, Fang Weiyun said that she was playing cards, it might go on for the whole night and she wouldn’t be back that day.”

“But it didn’t take long for her lie to be exposed.”

“Lu Shaochu questioned where Fang Weiyun had gone and the two quarreled loudly on the phone, but Fang Weiyun didn’t say anything. Eventually, Lu Shaochu asked the driver only to find out that Fang Weiyun had secretly gone looking for Jiang Yueman by herself.”

Lin Cuifang’s voice was weak. Probably because her breaths couldn’t keep up with her words, she gasped for air and stopped speaking to rest. There was a blank space in the recording, accompanied by faint ‘cizi’ sounds.

Chu Yu thought to himself that what this person said and the information Lu Shi had collected were basically the same.

After a while, the old and weak voice started again.

“Lu Shaochu was very nervous and hurried over. That night, Old Elder Lu sat in the living room and didn’t sleep, I didn’t dare sleep either. It wasn’t until dawn that Lu Shaochu came back with Fang Weiyun, holding a recently born baby in his arms. I saw blood on his clothes.”

“…Lu Shaochu was very furious, saying that Fang Weiyun was vicious, that she’d actually gone to Jiang Yueman’s to kill, and that when he’d arrived, the ground was covered in blood, and Fang Weiyun was still holding a knife, planning to kill the small baby as well.”

“Fang Weiyun fell to the ground crying, kneeling and begging Old Mr. Lu to protect her and not reveal what happened. She only did something like murder because she’d heard Old Elder Lu say that he wanted to bring Jiang Yueman’s child back and was afraid that Jiang Yueman and her child would steal her position.”

“Afterwards, Old Mr. Lu instructed me to hold the child and then called Lu Shaochu to the study. They talked for a long time.”

“At the time, I was holding the baby and waiting in the living room. Fang Weiyun, who had been sitting on the ground, suddenly resembled a crazy person and asked me, ‘guess how that bitch died?’”

“How dare I answer?”

“But, Fang Weiyun didn’t care if I answered or not. She said with a grin that she had stabbed several times and a lot of blood had spilled out, but she wasn’t sure if the woman had stopped breathing. However, Lu Shaochu had been more anxious than she was, so before it could’ve been confirmed whether she was dead or not, he hastened Jiang Yueman’s disposal.”

“I subconsciously covered the baby’s ears during that time. Later that afternoon, the baby became Fang Weiyun’s child.”

The recording ended there.

Chu Yu, who listened from beginning to end, had a thought circling in his mind— if Jiang Yueman wasn’t dead at the time, but still Lu Shaochu directly sealed her into cement and sunk her underwater…
