The Canary's Trap

Lu Ling's eyes were sour, and he remained silent. For the first time, he felt that his words were so pale.

He looked at Shen Yuchuan quietly, all the uneasiness, sadness, and panic overflowed from his eyes at that moment.

Shen Yuchuan didn't like the look in his eyes, walked up to him, covered his eyes with his hands, lowered his head to kiss his lips, Lu Ling grabbed his neck and wrapped himself around his body.

"Brother Shen..." Lu Ling's voice was hoarse.

Shen Yuchuan untied his tie, covered his eyes, and tied a knot at the back of his head, revealing only his delicate chin and bright red lips.

"Lulu, I love you, I love you, I love you..." he kept biting Lu Lu's ear.

Cut

When Shen Yuchuan came out of the bedroom, the noodles in the kitchen had already been lumped away, so he had to make another bowl for Lu Ling.

Lu Ling endured the pain all over his body, and when he got up from the bed, Shen Yuchuan had already brought a bowl of steaming noodles to the dining table.

Lu Ling sat across from him, and quietly finished the bowl of noodles. The more he ate to the end, the more bitter he felt. Tears flowed down his face. He didn't want Shen Yuchuan to see him, so he kept his head down.

After the mood returned to calm, Lu Ling finally raised his red and swollen eyes, and found that Shen Yuchuan was staring at him all the time.

After eating, the two of them washed up separately, before Shen Yuchuan pulled Lu Ling into his arms, kissed his forehead and hair like every night like this, and said good night to him.

At the end, he added another sentence: "Lu Ling, after you leave this time, you'd better stay away from me, don't let me see you again, otherwise—"

"I won't let you go."

Lu Ling felt uncomfortable, fell into a drowsy sleep, and didn't listen to all his words.

The next day, when Lu Ling woke up, Shen Yuchuan had already left. He looked at the empty room in a daze, and suddenly felt that he had lost something very important.

Not too long later, Ji Dingzhe came to pick him up.

Lu Ling simply packed up his clothes and found that he didn't have much to take away.

After Lu Ling got into the car, Ji Dingzhe hesitated to speak, and turned to look at him several times.

Lu Ling raised her head and asked, "Just say what you want to say."

Ji Dingzhe thought about it for a while, but he still confessed honestly: "Lu Lu, when you and Shen Yuchuan went to Santorini, Uncle Lu... he was arrested and sent to the detention center for being involved in drug trafficking, and he is currently under investigation."

Lu Ling's face changed, and he grabbed his arm: "What?!"

Ji Dingzhe patted him on the shoulder, and replied as calmly as possible: "Don't worry, my dad will help. Uncle Lu is only under investigation, and the evidence from the police is not sufficient at present."

Lu Ling said in a daze, "It's... who—"

"It's not Shen Yuchuan." Ji Dingzhe looked serious, "During the negotiation yesterday, he obviously didn't know what happened to Uncle Lu. I found it strange, so I asked someone to check it. My dad sent me an email this morning, saying that it was under Shen Yuchuan's hands." An employee somehow copied the evidence in his hand, but the evidence was not sufficient."

Lu Ling was surprised: "An employee of Shen Yuchuan?"

At this moment, the scene when Lu Zhengan was taken away for the last time suddenly flashed in his mind. At that time, he was angry and anxious, thinking that Shen Yuchuan did it, and said some harsh words to him because of it.

But thinking about it now, he probably didn't know it either.

Lu Ling forced himself to calm down, and continued to ask Ji Dingzhe: "Why did he do this?"

Ji Dingzhe shook his head: "I don't know either. My father is sending people to investigate. I think it won't be long before I know the answer."

Lu Ling couldn't feel at ease, and frowned, but he had calmed down a lot.Over the past year, he found that he had grown a lot, and he no longer panicked as before when encountering troubles.

-

Ji Dingzhe greeted the old lady in advance, saying that Lu Ling hurried back from abroad after knowing about Lu Zhengan's accident. When the old man saw Lu Ling getting out of the car, he was not too surprised, but more at ease.

When Lu Ling saw the Lu family's villa again, all kinds of feelings welled up in his heart, and every taste was bitter.

This was also the cage where Shen Yuchuan imprisoned him.

Lu Ling walked up to the old lady and hugged her. Seeing that he had lost a lot of weight, the old lady felt distressed.

When the group returned to the living room, Ji Dingzhe and Lu Ling explained in detail the evidence in the hands of the police and the loopholes in the evidence. Lu Ling remained calm the whole time, learning to decipher the facts of the case.

Ji Dingzhe was surprised by his changes, and felt that Lu Ling seemed to have grown a lot.

Lu Ling was noncommittal: "Ji Dingzhe, it's time for me to grow up and take up the responsibility of my young master Lu."

Ji Dingzhe didn't think he was so happy and gratified, he just felt distressed.

"I'm going to go to the company tomorrow, and slowly learn from Lu's seniors... Sooner or later, I'm going to take over my father's company."

Can't escape, can't be naive.

Ji Dingzhe looked at him, his eyes were extinguished and then rekindled, finally holding his wrist, he said very seriously: "Lu Ling, remember, no matter what you want to do or what decision you make, I will stand by your side."

Lu Ling looked at him gratefully, but he was thinking in his heart, he can't bother Ji Dingzhe anymore, Ji Dingzhe has helped him a lot.

He should learn to stand up by himself.

After Ji Dingzhe left, Lu Ling went back to the company. Fortunately, everything in the company was operating normally. Lu Zhengan did things safely and liked to stay behind. Take over later.

Lu Ling stayed with the old lady at home for a few days, during which time he went to the detention center.

Lu Zhengan's condition is not bad, and he is only under investigation at present, so his actions are not too restricted. Due to his public background, the people in the bureau still treat him a little politely.

Seeing this, Lu Ling felt a little at ease.

To be honest, when he was alone in an empty room at night, he would also think, is it really right for him to do this to cover up Lu Zhengan?

But once this kind of thought comes out, he will forcefully suppress it by himself.

The family relationship between Xue Nong and Shui did not allow him to have even a sliver of rationality. He admitted that he was selfish. Even if Lu Zhengan really did these things, he still couldn't let the balance in his heart be straightened.

There seems to be no big boundary between right and wrong.He was wrong, knowing that his father had done something wrong but still wanted to protect him, but to their family, he was just Lu Zhengan's son, and he only wanted his father to be safe and sound, and there seemed to be no fault tolerance rate to speak of.

However, what happened later turned his thoughts upside down.

On the third day after Lu Ling came back from the detention center, Ji Dingzhe went to him with a serious expression and took a stack of documents.

When he saw Lu Ling, he was in a dilemma. Knowing that Lu Ling was stubborn, even if he didn't tell him, he still had a way to find out by himself.

When he handed over the document to Lu Ling, he felt like a huge stone weighed on his heart.

"Lu Lu, this is all the information about the person who reported Uncle Lu. It's very easy to find out about him, because this incident caused a lot of trouble at the time."

Lu Ling looked at the document, and his heart sank suddenly.

Ji Dingzhe persuaded: "The Lulu incident has been going on for so many years, and the case has been closed long ago. I think this person is purely psychologically unbalanced. After the person concerned passed away, he imposed his hatred on Uncle Lu and deliberately framed him for revenge. You don't really have to look."

Lu Ling looked at him suspiciously, thinking that Ji Dingzhe must have found something important. After receiving the information, his fingers trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing his solemn expression, Ji Dingzhe hurriedly took the things back, but was stopped by Lu Ling: "Ji Dingzhe, no matter what, I have the right to know."

But in the next second, he really regretted that he had flipped through the file.

Lu Ling didn't know how he finished flipping through those pieces of paper, and his face became paler.

Looking at his bloodless face, Ji Dingzhe was startled, and hurriedly snatched the document from his hand. Lu Ling's pupils shrank suddenly, with doubts and fear on his face.

"Dad, he is an accomplice of the murderer... what does this mean?!"

Ji Dingzhe was taken aback: "Lu Lu, this is a unilateral statement from that person, how could Uncle Lu be such a person."

Lu Ling's heart was in a mess, and his voice was hoarse: "Ji Dingzhe, do you have that person's contact information?"

Ji Dingzhe stood still, wondering what Lu Ling was thinking, and shook his head.

"Don't lie to me, I know you have."

Ji Dingzhe was helpless: "Lu Lu, what do you want to do?"

"I want to see him, and I want to know the truth of this matter from the person concerned, not from your investigation."

He had a strong premonition that things were not as simple as described in these few pieces of paper.

No one's hatred is unreasonable and so deep.

After all, Ji Dingzhe didn't give him his contact information, but Lu Ling has plenty of ways to find out by himself.

Early the next morning, he contacted the employee in Shen Yuchuan's company, and the two made an appointment to meet near Shen Yuchuan's office building.

The employee's name is Yuan Qi.

When he saw Lu Ling, there was a look of disgust in his eyes, which stunned Lu Ling in place.

After a long time, Lu Ling proposed to sit in the coffee shop next door, but Yuan Qi directly refused.

He didn't think it was necessary for him to sit with Lu Ling and have a good chat, not to mention that their conversation might not be suitable for crowded public places.

Yuan Qi smiled mockingly at Lu Ling: "Young Master Lu, if you have anything to do with me, you might as well just tell me."

Lu Ling paused, and asked, "You did my father's two investigations?"

Yuan Qi nodded, thinking that this is not something worth denying.

Lu Ling finally knew that these things had nothing to do with Shen Yuchuan.

Yuan Qi stared at Lu Ling, and suddenly smiled: "Why, Young Master Lu thinks what I did was wrong?"

Lu Ling didn't answer. At this moment, the balance of right and wrong has collapsed.

Lu Ling's face was pale, and he said slowly after a while: "I came to you because I wanted to know the truth about what happened back then."

"Didn't you find out? Since you found out, you came here and asked me what to do?"

Lu Ling had a serious expression: "I... I have a lot of doubts about the things I found out, so I want to hear what you have to say."

Yuan Qi was slightly stunned: "Would you believe what I said?"

"I believe."

This is really a big joke in the world, the son of the executioner believes the innocent people he persecuted...

But when Yuan Qi looked at Lu Ling, he suddenly froze again, his eyes were so clear, it seemed that if he said he could believe him, he could really believe it.
