Chapter 438 - 422: The Repercussions Behind
"I did not kill Boran, yet Boran died because of me." Hearing the news, Lu Yun fell silent for a long time. Even though she knew that without their intervention, Chen Qiuyu’s fate might not have been much better. But deep down, she couldn’t help but rise the thought, ’If she hadn’t met us, maybe she wouldn’t have had to die.’
Having such thoughts wasn’t due to her having a "Mother Teresa" complex. If she were truly so saintly, she would have stopped what Shitou was doing a long time ago--
Seeing Lu Yun’s spirit decline, Shitou couldn’t bear it and pushed another file, which he had yet to show her, across.
"We can cure a disease, but not fate. In fact, as early as when we set the trap, we were cautious that Ding Gaoqun might truly harm the person, so we had already taken precautions. The most lethal high-concentration poison on Chen Qiuyu and the butler and bodyguard had actually been swapped by our people beforehand. Unfortunately, you can see for yourself--"
"There’s another scandal involved?"
Lu Yun picked up the file in surprise and began to flip through it. After finishing, her face showed a myriad of expressions, and all her feelings of "guilt" vanished. In the end, apart from saying, "Heaven’s misdeeds may be forgivable, but one’s own misdeeds are inexcusable," she couldn’t say anything else.
It turned out the relationship between the butler and the bodyguard was unexpectedly deep.
They were father and son. Years ago, the butler left his family for another woman, causing the bodyguard’s mother to single-handedly raise her newborn son. The hardship of a woman raising a child alone goes without explanation. Therefore, when the bodyguard was in his teens, his mother succumbed to overwork.
