Chapter 868 The Cause of Annihilation
Lu Yichen had never expected that behind a small jade pendant, so much had happened—his family was annihilated due to a relative’s drunken slip of the tongue that turned malevolent, leading to the entire clan’s burial.
Lu Yichen clenched his teeth and said, "This enmity towards my family is so deep that it cannot be shared under heaven. I can still remember my grandmother’s voice and smile. Her heart must have been filled with hatred. No wonder she insisted on returning to Chongqing, despite her terminal illness, and her last wish was to be buried there.
I could never understand before, but now I finally realize why she insisted on being buried in Chongqing. Grandfather has been secretly investigating this matter without ever mentioning it to us, probably because grandmother didn’t want us to get involved."
"But that’s just how things are. Even if grandfather did not wish for it, trouble still came our way. Qiaoqiao, I’m sorry for dragging you into this."
Luo Qiao reached out and wrapped her arms around Lu Yichen’s waist: "We are husband and wife; there is no need for such words."
After steadying their emotions and having something to eat in the space, they finally left it.
The next day, there was movement in the courtyard. Lu Yichen went out and upon returning, said to Luo Qiao, "Their flight is this afternoon. I’ve also bought tickets. Get ready, we’re preparing to leave."
When they reappeared, Lu Yichen and Luo Qiao had deliberately put on makeup, making it unlikely that even Jun Zhenlin, should they meet face-to-face, would recognize them.
Luo Qiao and her party boarded the plane early and kept a close watch on Jun Zhenlin’s every move. Only Tattoo Man came with him— that man really had guts. Despite being so injured without timely treatment, he was now appearing on the plane again.
When the plane landed, it was already dark, but as soon as they disembarked, there was someone to pick them up. Lu Yichen had also contacted a comrade-in-arms to pick them up, and they managed to get the room next to theirs on the same floor.
Lu Yichen had no idea what he said to his comrade-in-arms, but he left them the car and departed early, and the two of them rested after a light meal.
