Chapter 349 Planning Revenge (1/2)

”Why did your sister marry a Kang?” Lu Xing asked seriously.

Hearing this,Lu Shuya's face twisted. Such things were not something Lu Xing usually asked or needed to know. Knowing him well, Lu Shuya knew that, if he wasn't guilty of something that he would have just said, 'congratulations'.

So this reply, caused Lu Shuya's heart to sink. She was extremely disappointed.

”Why do you ask?” Lu Shuya said coldly.

”I... just want to know.” Lu Xing said slowly, and then he looked towards Kang Liang, who had also been frowning, and said, ”Was she blackmailed, was she threatened?”

Hearing this, and how it was being directed at him, Kang Liang, who hadn't been experiencing the best year, felt his sanity snap.

”Who the hell do you think my brother is? A scum?!”Kang Liang sneered. The boy looked seconds away from punching Lu Xing in the face.

Seeing the protective instincts that had just arisen from Kang Liang, Lu Xing backed away slowly, and then he said, ”It's not that... I just know that the two had slept together that day and so...”

”You knew...” Lu Shuya said as her face paled, then suddenly her eyes became piercing and full of anger. ” You knew what was happening and you didn't save her? She's your niece!”

Lu Xing shook his head.

”I only found out what had happened after the fact. A friend of mine who was one of the people who created the illegal gambling ring, told me about it...” Lu Xing said as his eyes began to turn dark. ”He and some others knew about it after. They'd seen things.. you know, but a man had come and paid them a lot of hush money in order for them not to spread it...”

Remembering how he had been so furious when he had found out about it, Lu Xing clenched his teeth.

”I just assumed that if she forgot about it she would be better off... they'd been drugged. Not everyone remembers...” Lu Xing said softly.

Feeling sick to her stomach, Lu Shuya looked down to the floor boards. ”So you're telling me that if she was raped, you wouldn't try to get justice for her? You'd just run away, and pray she forgets?”

Lu Shuya felt extremely bad. Before coming here, she had not wanted to suspect Lu Xing had been involved and she was partially glad he wasn't guilty of anything worse but this didn't save him from being part of the problem...

Hearing this, Lu Xing's face twisted and then anger slowly swept in. ”I said I didn't mention it to her. I just didn't want to ruin her happiness because of something that she didn't remember but, I never said I wasn't doing anything.”

As he said this, Lu Xing felt his fists tighten.
