Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 996 - 996 956 Going Home

996: Chapter 956: Going Home 996: Chapter 956: Going Home The Su family estate occupied an extremely vast area, resembling a huge wetland park.

At the entrance alone, there was a large plaza.

In front of the tall vermilion gates stood two rows of guards, constantly vigilant of the surroundings.

“This… is this your Su Residence?”

“That’s right, isn’t it beautiful?”

Su Changyue asked with a smile.

“Whether it’s beautiful or not aside, it’s definitely big.”

“It’s almost the size of a small town.”

“It’s alright, come on in.”

Su Changyue led the way into the gate and entered the estate.

As soon as he entered, Lu Chuan looked around as if he had walked into a park, following the path for a distance before a few pavilions came into view.

After walking a bit further, he could finally see several detached houses scattered around.

Moving on, a figure quickly approached.

A middle-aged man dressed in Tang attire walked briskly toward them.

Seeing Su Changyue, he immediately ran over with a broad smile on his face.

“Miss Su, you’re back!”

He excitedly jogged over, approached Su Changyue, bent halfway, and his face was incredibly radiant with joy.

“Yes, I’m back.

Where’s my father?”

“He’s working in the study, still very busy.

Shall I call him over?”

“Yes, call him here.

I’ll wait for him in the nearby pavilion, ask him to hurry, I’ve found my brother.”

Upon hearing this, the caretaker froze in place.

“What… did you say?

You found Young Master Ming?”

After pausing in shock for a moment, he widened his eyes in disbelief and stared at Su Changyue.

“That’s right, he’s right behind me.”

With a turn, Su Changyue revealed Su Ming.

Upon seeing Su Ming, the caretaker was completely dumbfounded.

“Young Master Ming!

It really is you!”

He hurried over, grasped Su Ming’s hands in his, and burst into tears.

“Young master, I thought I might never see you again in this lifetime, it’s good you’re back, it’s so good you’re back!”

Su Ming forced a smile.

The familiar surroundings failed to lift his spirits.

Being without legs, he was in considerable discomfort.

Suddenly, the caretaker’s gaze drifted downward, and upon seeing Su Ming’s missing legs, his mouth fell open in shock as he exclaimed, “What… what happened?”

“Who did this?

Tell me, and I’ll grab some people to deal with that bastard!

Who?”

He roared in anger, clenching his fists and swinging at the air.

“Don’t be hasty, we don’t know who the perpetrator is.

We only know that it was the people from the Nangong family who took him.”

Su Changyue came over and said.

Upon hearing this, the caretaker gnashed his teeth in rage and said, “The Nangong family, those bastards, are they looking for death?

I’ll make sure they pay dearly!”

“I’ll report this to the family head right away.

He will surely lead the team to annihilate the Nangong family.

Even if it means fighting to the death, we can’t swallow this insult!”

He shouted again in fury.

Su Changyue sighed helplessly, “Hey, don’t be so worked up.”

“This matter requires a careful approach.

We still don’t know who the real culprit is.”

“Moreover, the Nangong family has already been annihilated, completely wiped out in Tiannan City.

Not even the dregs remain.

Even if you rush there with an army, they’ve already vanished.”

The caretaker let out a sigh of resignation.

“Alright, you all handle this matter; the family will definitely support you with all our strength.

I’m going to fetch the old master now so that you can have an in-depth discussion when he arrives.”

He immediately turned and left briskly.

Meanwhile, Su Changyue led Su Meeng into a nearby pavilion.

Lu Chuan followed them over.

“Su Meeng, let’s wait here for a moment.

When Dad arrives, we can fully explain the situation to him.”

Su Changyue looked around, “Look, this is the place you are most familiar with.

When you were little, you often played around here.

Do you remember that pond?

You even accidentally fell into it while playing.”

Su Meeng merely shook his head with a bitter smile, not knowing what to say.

“Hey, cheer up.

Your legs will be recovered.

Trust in Lu Chuan and also trust in Xsu Qing, things will definitely get better.”

Su Meeng nodded helplessly, “I know, I just feel so uncomfortable inside, I can’t get that shadow out of my mind.”

After speaking, he turned his head to glance at Xu Ling; it was clear that the torment Xu Ling endured there was even more severe, and it deeply troubled him.

Su Changyue sighed with resignation, “Alright then, will you feel better only when we find the perpetrator?”

“But how do we find them?”

Su Meeng asked.

“You’re really fixated on the perpetrator, aren’t you?

No matter what, we will find them.

Rest assured.”

Su Meeng looked up at Lu Chuan, pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, but still said, “Young Master Lu, with your formidable skills, I’m placing all my hopes on you.

If you help me kill that murderer, I’ll be eternally grateful and serve you like an ox or horse!”

He spoke earnestly and looked at Lu Chuan sincerely, not in a joking manner at all.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Rest assured, if I catch that guy, I’ll definitely bring him before you alive.”

At that moment, a figure hurried over.

The caretaker was right beside the person.

The Su Family Patriarch emerged, clad in a dark green robe, sporting a goatee, his expression anxious and pacing briskly as he approached.

“Is it true, my son has returned?”

The caretaker hurriedly added, “It’s true, Young Master Ming really is back—no joke at all!”

The Su Family Patriarch nodded slightly, then quickly headed towards the pavilion.

As soon as he entered the pavilion, he caught sight of Su Meeng.

Instantly, he froze, eyes brimming with tears that rolled down his cheeks.

“My son!”

He cried out in pain, then quickly walked over, wrapped his arms around Su Meeng, and began to sob quietly.

Lu Chuan stood to the side, watching, and couldn’t help but shake his head in sympathy.

“Son, who did this?

I won’t let them off!”

He looked down at Su Meeng and, seeing that he had lost his legs, felt a pang in his heart as his tears flowed even more fiercely.

“Dad, I don’t know who the perpetrator is.

I only know they have connections with the Nangong family.”

“You don’t know who?

The Nangong family?”

He stroked his beard, falling deep in thought.

“The Nangong family…

when did the Su family ever offend them?

Why would they inflict such cruel harm on us?”

Lu Chuan stepped forward and said, “Perhaps, the real perpetrator is just using the Nangong family.”

“The Nangong family is a shield, as well as a hitman, and an excellent hiding place for Su Meeng.”

“Because of this, we can only locate the Nangong family and not the true mastermind behind the scenes.”

The Family Head turned to Lu Chuan and asked, “May I ask who this gentleman is?”

“I am Lu Chuan.

Have you heard of my name?”

Lu Chuan asked while at the same time gesturing to Su Changyue with his hand, signaling her not to speak.
