The next day, before the morning sunshine had completely dispelled the chill of the night, Lin Nuo hurried into the office.

Anxiety was written on his face, and he went straight to the subject as soon as he entered the door: "Sir, we have found Mr. Shangguan's overseas address and tried to contact him, but he refused to see us. I guess he is still worried about what happened back then. angry."

Fu Yanchen's face instantly became solemn.

He sighed and recalled the complicated past.

"I really didn't know that things would turn out like that. Lu Jingjing insisted that her cousin was driving the car and was driving under the influence. Although I had doubts, I still chose to believe her. I originally wanted to leave the matter to Mr. Shangguan's discretion. But I didn’t expect that Lu Jingjing’s father would do something behind his back, let alone that person would be Xu Haojie.”

"If I had continued to investigate back then, wouldn't Xiaoxiao have suffered so much?"

Having said this, Fu Yanchen couldn't help but rub his frown, exhaustion and helplessness intertwined on his face.

"The Lu family, this is too much." Fu Yanchen punched the table with a hint of anger in his voice.

Lin Nuo also looked indignant, "The problem now is that if Lu Zhengguo tells his wife about the matter, we need Mr. Shangguan to come forward to prove the truth. If the wife knows the truth about this matter, and we have no evidence... The consequences could be disastrous."

When he said this, his voice couldn't help but tremble.

Fu Yanchen was silent for a moment, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. "No matter what, we have to find Mr. Shangguan and ask him to come forward to clarify everything. I can't let Xu Xiaoxiao misunderstand me, let alone let the Lu family continue to be free and easy."

Lin Nuo nodded, he knew how difficult this task was.

But looking at Fu Yanchen's firm eyes, he also regained his confidence.

"Okay, sir, I will continue to contact Mr. Shangguan and do everything possible to get him to meet us."

The sunshine outside the window gradually became brighter, but the two people in the office had no intention of admiring this beautiful scenery.

"Next week is Shangguan Yaoyao's memorial day. According to common sense, he will definitely return to the country to pay homage to her. At that time, we will go directly to the cemetery to wait for him, and then explain everything to him clearly. I think as long as Communicate well and he will be able to understand our difficulties. ”

"After all, you didn't put any pressure on him at the beginning. You just paid a visit in person. He misunderstood your meaning. How can this be completely blamed on you?" Lin Nuo tried hard to explain to Fu Yanchen.

However, Fu Yanchen just sighed deeply: "Lin Nuo, you still don't understand. The key to the problem is not whether I exerted pressure or whether he misunderstood my intentions, but that I have been to him before." The matter itself is already making people think wildly. Just because of this reason, Xiaoxiao will have a grudge against me... not to mention that later, the case was settled and it was said that the Shangguan family withdrew it themselves. "

Fu Yanchen leaned back on the chair and rubbed his temples with both hands, "Besides, Shangguan Yaoyao's death has always been a knot in the mind of Mr. Shangguan. He thinks that I was an accomplice who killed his granddaughter."

Lin Nuo persuaded: "But sir, this is not your fault. No one could have predicted the situation at that time."

Fu Yanchen waved his hand, "No matter what, I'm still going to give it a try. Lin Nuo, you can continue with the arrangements."

In the early morning a week later, Fu Yanchen and Lin Nuo came to Shangguan Yaoyao's tomb. Not long after, a black car drove slowly, and a white-haired old man got out of the car.

Fu Yanchen took a deep breath and walked forward, "Mr. Shangguan, long time no see.

Mr. Shangguan glanced at Fu Yanchen, said nothing, and walked straight to Yaoyao's tombstone.

Fu Yanchen and Lin Nuo looked at each other and followed.

"Yao Yao, grandpa, I'm here to see you..." Mr. Shangguan stroked the photo of Shangguan Yaoyao on the tombstone, his eyes full of grief.

Fu Yanchen said softly: "Mr. Shangguan, I'm here today to explain something to you. I'm also sorry for the car accident that year. I didn't know that was the case. I thought it was really a drunk driver. Your granddaughter ran a red light again. I I just wanted to ask you to be more open-minded and deal with it as appropriate..."

Mr. Shangguan interrupted him, "You don't have to say it. I don't want to hear your explanation about who erased the surveillance at that time, who greeted the relevant departments, and threatened Yaoyao with Xiaoxiao, her only friend. I, you really don’t know?”

Fu Yanchen said sincerely: "I know it's hard for you to accept, but I have to make it clear that there was another secret behind what happened back then, and I was also used. As for surveillance, threats, and greetings, I really don't know."

The old man Shangguan turned his head and looked at Fu Yanchen, "Fu Yanchen, let's set up a monitoring system. Unfortunately, that part of the monitoring system is broken. The relevant departments said it was Yaoyao who ran a red light. How is that possible? I don't know who my granddaughter is. If it wasn't you, how could it be? Who would have that much power?”

"I couldn't accept their statement that my granddaughter would cross the road regardless of safety, so I decided to go to Xu Xiaoxiao in person, hoping to learn the truth from her. She had witnessed the incident with her own eyes, and I hope to get Her confirmation.”

"I thought to myself, and with full of doubts and unwillingness, I embarked on the road to seek the truth."

That day, Mr. Shangguan found Xu Xiaoxiao. Xu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment after hearing this. She promised me that she would testify for me in court.

However, on the day they agreed, he came early to wait outside the court, but Xu Xiaoxiao was nowhere to be seen.

Time passed by minute by minute, and every second seemed like torture for me.

At first, Mr. Shangguan thought that Xu Xiaoxiao had repented and was unwilling to be involved anymore, but the news that came later shocked me - something happened to Xu Xiaoxiao.

Mr. Shangguan immediately realized that this was not a coincidence, but someone did it deliberately to prevent me from pursuing my granddaughter's case.

A chill ran through his heart, and he felt helpless and angry as never before.

Just then, a phone call broke the silence.

On the other end of the phone, a person who claimed to be Fu Yanchen's secretary said coldly: "For some things, it is wise to stop in moderation. If you continue to pursue the case, Xu Xiaoxiao's life will only be in danger."

The voice was like a messenger from hell, making people shudder.

"That person even asked us to leave the Imperial Capital."

Mr. Shangguan's hand holding the phone was shaking, and the anger and fear in his heart were intertwined.

At this moment, he knew that he could not compete with those dark forces. For Xu Xiaoxiao's safety, he had to make a compromise.

So, I chose to withdraw the lawsuit, left this place of right and wrong, and went overseas.

On the plane, he looked out the window at the city fading away, feeling helpless and unwilling.

But he knew that his granddaughter's case could not be given up. He needed to think long term and wait for the day when the time was right to seek justice for his granddaughter.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Fu Yanchen standing opposite, with a bitter smile on his lips: "Mr. Fu, if you come and tell me now that all this has nothing to do with you, will I believe it? I had almost found out that year. The truth is revealed, and in the end, you came to the door, hahaha.”

"Mr. Fu, I have another piece of news for you." The old man's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to carry the weight of the past.

He paused, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, and continued: "Later I found out that the car was originally aimed at Xu Xiaoxiao. My granddaughter, she was just an innocent stand-in."

Speaking of this, the old man's voice revealed unconcealable grief and anger.

When Fu Yanchen heard this, his whole body felt like he was struck by lightning. He raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief: "What? How... how is this possible?"

His voice trembled, obviously he was greatly shocked.

He couldn't imagine that the girl who always smiled was just a stand-in, and the real target was Xu Xiaoxiao.

He stood there blankly, with the old man's words echoing in his mind, and an inexplicable emotion welling up in his heart.

His eyes were looking ahead unfocused, as if he was trying to digest this unbelievable news.

The surrounding air seemed to have solidified, and only the sound of the two people's breathing was echoing.

"Hahaha, Fu Yanchen, so what if you are being used? Their goal has been achieved, hahaha, they are just afraid that I will find some clues if I investigate further, so they let you come forward. It's a pity that my granddaughter... You go."

Lin Nuo stood in front of him, defending his boss with some eagerness and sincerity.

"Mr. Shangguan, sir, he really apologized with full sincerity this time."

Lin Nuo's tone was full of sincerity, "If sir had known the ins and outs of the matter at that time, he would never have come forward to disturb you easily."

After hearing this, Mr. Shangguan slowly opened his eyes and looked directly at Lin Nuo with burning eyes.

An imperceptible sneer flashed across his face, with a bit of hoarseness and majesty in his voice: "So what? He still came forward after all, didn't he? Now that the so-called relevant departments have also put pressure, I am even more The lawsuit was withdrawn. Now, the grievances between the Lu family and me can no longer be settled with a simple apology."

At this point, Mr. Shangguan suddenly coughed a few times, and a look of pain flashed across his face.

But he quickly regained his composure and continued: "Sooner or later, I will account for everything the Lu family has done. The Lu family, let him wait and see."

Lin Nuo couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard what Mr. Shangguan said.

He knew that the grievances between the two families were deep and could not be resolved with simple words.

There was silence all around, except for the occasional sound of birdsong and wind.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the cemetery, reflecting mottled light and shadow.

The entire cemetery was enveloped in a heavy and depressing atmosphere, as if even the air had solidified.

"Go away, you guys, I won't forgive you."

When Lin Nuo and Fu Yanchen turned to leave, they couldn't help but look back at Mr. Shangguan.

I saw a firm and cold light shining in his deep eyes, as if to say: "Sooner or later, I will settle the Lu family's debts one by one."
