Chapter 612 - 189: [Accomplice to What I Do]
Actually, the most important thing is, back when the husband in that tomb robbing gang died in that incident—their discovery of some incredible treasure might have been in that Ancient Tomb.
Unfortunately, perhaps an accident occurred during the heist, and the husband died.
The nephew was caught later.
That Ancient Tomb is still there, and the things inside are still intact.
And afterward...
The nephew, after serving eight years in prison, kept thinking about the treasure in that Ancient Tomb. After his release, he secretly returned to the tomb, hoping to retrieve the treasure.
As a result, unfortunately, he died, right there in the Ancient Tomb."
Lu Xiuting was taken aback; a complex expression flashed in her eyes.
Chen Yan spoke, pointing to the shovel on the ground: "Hey, this tool was used by your cousin Lu Ding—I kindly picked it up for you."
Bam!
Lu Xiuting slapped the table and stood up: "You, what did you say!"
"You should thank me." Chen Yan smirked: "I saw your cousin Lu Ding’s body. Before I left, I even kindly helped gather his remains."
"..." Lu Xiuting’s body trembled, but at this moment, her face had turned to fear.
Chen Yan raised his head, spat out the sunflower seed shell from his mouth, and smiled: "Doesn’t this mean the Lu Family owes me a favor?"
Hmm, as for gathering the remains, Chen Yan felt he wasn’t lying.
He didn’t help dig a hole to bury the body.
Chen Yan didn’t have the leisure for digging pits and burying bodies.
He just set it on fire directly, burning the body.
The ashes, well, scattered them!
It was a bit hasty, but Chen Yan didn’t see anything wrong with it.
For a tomb robber desecrating the ancestors’ graves, is an unburied death not a deserved end?
How many evils of grave robbing has the Lu Family committed in their lifetimes? Justice should be served like this.
Burning and scattering his remains saved him from the fate of rotting in the wilderness, which was considered a virtuous act!
"But your cousin died unjustly."
Chen Yan deliberately sighed, looking at Lu Xiuting’s expression: "He was obsessed with the treasure in the Ancient Tomb, served eight years in prison, and after coming out, secretly went back to explore the tomb, and yet died inside.
In fact, he didn’t even know... the treasure in the Ancient Tomb had long been gone!
But Lu Ding didn’t know that, so he ran back to explore the tomb and died in vain—if he knew the treasure had been long gone, maybe he wouldn’t have thrown his life away."
Lu Xiuting’s face turned pale, slowly sitting down, returning to her chair.
Chen Yan threw the sunflower seed shells in his hand on the table, with a smile said: "The only part of the story I still don’t have clear is.
Was the treasure from the Ancient Tomb brought back secretly by your father when he went tomb robbing, which led to his severe injury and death?
Or... did you secretly dig it up during the years your cousin Lu Ding was in prison?"
Lu Xiuting was silent for a while, biting her teeth hard: "I don’t understand at all what you’re talking about!"
"Oh." Chen Yan nodded: "I’m not surprised you’d deny it, after all, there’s no evidence."
"Don’t think you can use this to control me." Lu Xiuting shook her head: "Do you expect to force me to give in by using this, so I won’t interfere with my daughter?"
"I’ve never thought that." Chen Yan shook his head: "In fact, whether you interfere with Lu Sisi or not makes no difference to me, because you can’t do anything about it, I won’t let you have the ability to interfere with her choices."
"With you?" Lu Xiuting sneered: "Do you think I haven’t dug into your background?"
