Chapter 647: 460 Guilty Conscience (First Update)
An Yi nodded slightly: "It’s confirmed, she sometimes works part-time at Lange Yuntian, but not every evening. She’s busy at the store during the day, and sometimes her siblings help out too. Sir, I suspect she’s from the Men Family. After all, she was one of the victims of the explosion back then, so it’s not strange for her to be associated with the Family Head."
"Keep watching her." If Lan Shuixian really is with Men Chao, her contact with Xiaofeng must have a purpose.
...
"To be honest with you, my godmother and Elder Gu have already pulled out the files from that year and are preparing to reinvestigate the case," Haige said, lifting the glass in her hand, her expression unreadable.
"So much time has passed, is there really any point in reopening the investigation?" Lan Shuixian sat on the couch: "Instead of doing these useless tasks, wouldn’t it better to give us, the victims from that time, more compensation, don’t you think?"
"Exactly, no matter how much they investigate, my Xiuze will not come back, nor will your parents," Haige said with a self-mocking laugh: "Perhaps it’s their guilty conscience, they must investigate, but in the end, it’s all for themselves."
"Plainly speaking, it’s their interests that matter more. According to the information I received, the explosion back then was actually ordered by the Gu Family. Think about it, a year after the explosion, Elder Gu withdrew behind the scenes, and the Prime Minister took his place. If the Gu Family didn’t have skeletons in their closet, why switch people?"
Haige frowned upon hearing Lan Shuixian’s words: "You shouldn’t talk recklessly without evidence; I don’t know about others, but I am familiar with Elder Gu, he’s a very upright person. Saying that the explosion was his doing, I can’t believe that."
"You’re still too naive." Lan Shuixian sneered: "In front of others, who doesn’t present themselves in the best light? This Elder Gu, I see big problems with him."
"What do you plan to do?"
"We’ll see what he’s up to, of course."
Haige was silent for a long time before she spoke: "If he really is the murderer, I won’t forgive him. Because of Xiuze’s departure, I have suffered for over a decade, still unmarried."
"If he really is the murderer, you’re not the only one who hates him. Look at me, I had loving parents, and then they were gone, and I had to live with my grandma, enduring others’ abuse... I have a way to test if he is the same person responsible for what happened back then."
"What’s your plan?" Haige looked at her.
"I heard the eldest grandson of the Gu Family has been in a coma since the last incident. I suspect he woke up a long time ago, but the Gu Family, fearing revenge, hid him. If Gu Yecheng really has woken up and the Gu Family hasn’t announced it, hiding the truth, there must be something fishy. So, we just need to confirm that Gu Yecheng has awakened, or is still alive in this world, to prove it." Lan Shuixian obviously had her own motives.
But she couldn’t share her motives with Haige.
Haige might seem sharp, but she was actually rather single-minded, still caught in her past emotions.
"That doesn’t prove anything," Haige was stunned and couldn’t make the connection.
"Think about it, if the Gu Family didn’t do anything wrong, why would they hide Gu Yecheng’s condition? Don’t you think there’s something off? Think about your Xiuze, you were on the verge of marriage, if not for the explosion, you’d already be married with children, who would surely be in school by now. But who destroyed all that? Think about the despair of your Xiuze during the explosion, he was so young yet left no descendants."
Whether the Gu Family cares or not, Lan Shuixian only knew that the more chaos there was in the Imperial Capital, the better she could carry out her actions.
Speaking of Xiuze, a look of hatred flashed in Haige’s eyes: "Yes, he was so young when he left, and he couldn’t even leave me a single word."
"So, you ought to seek justice for him, shouldn’t you? Don’t let his death be in vain."
"How should we investigate this? Even if I can prove that Gu Yecheng is alive, it’s still hard to connect the Gu Family to the case."
"You just need to expose this matter and leave the rest to others. There were too many victims that year, and it’s not just the two of us who want to know the truth. Many people want the truth."
"Are you in contact with them?"
"I definitely am not, but some people can be reached," Lan Shuixian was very certain of this.
Listening to Lan Shuixian’s words, Haige felt her mind go blank: "Are you saying that all those families of the victims have been contacted? Wasn’t it said that it was impossible to contact them, that the names list had been lost, and contact was simply impossible?"
