Chapter 704 - Lu Jins Resentment (1/2)
The only thing which Linfeng had overlooked was that the spies whom Ming Zhi Yi planted deeply in the national investigation department would actually be used to kill Gunan.
He initially wanted to use Gunan as bait to pull out Ming Zhi Yi's spies.
Unlike Xiong Zhi, Linfeng had not much deep attachment as to how Gunan life ended. As long as he was punished and could not go near Xiong Zhi, Linfeng would not care about Gunan.
But his Young Miss was different.
She wanted him to suffer an ending that he deserved.
Xiong Zhi did not receive a response from Linfeng. While looking around, she suddenly saw a familiar tall figure standing frozen in the crowd.
”Lu Jin.” Xiong Zhi's eyes darkened. She walked towards Lu Jin's side.
Linfeng quietly followed.
”Lu Jin, that guy, where did he...” Xiong Zhi trailed off.
Lu Jin seemed to not hear her. His face was pale in blank disbelief.
It was the first time that Xiong Zhi saw a humane expression on the man's face.
She stiffened. Her head swiveled again to look at the police station, where the covered body was about to be transferred into the ambulance.
Her heart began to pound hard.
No… No way…
Suddenly, Lu Jin moved. He ran to the direction of the ambulance.
His subordinates hurriedly followed.
The policemen and the rescuers stopped Lu Jin from coming in.
Earlier, they stopped him from going into the underground because it was dangerous.
”If you dare to stop me again, I will make sure that you will be buried together with him.”
The men shuddered. The cold madness in the man's eyes was telling them that the man before them was not joking at all. They gulped, looked at each other, and backed away.
Lu Jin's butler caught up and put a large umbrella over Lu Jin. He immediately showed the people who were stopping them a pass from the investigation bureau. It was initially a prop they had prepared to get Gunan out of the underground prison. But unfortunately, it ended up being used for something else instead. He sighed and glanced worriedly at his master.
Seeing the pass, the policemen had no choice but to step aside and let Lu Jin approach the covered body.
Lu Jin stood in front of the stretcher. He raised his hand to lift the covers. His fingers shook strongly while uncovering the black cover on the body.
At this moment, Xiong Zhi and Linfeng passed through the yellow tapes.
Xiong Zhi had also gotten a pass before, courtesy of Guan Xin, but she never used it until now.
However, Linfeng stopped her from going near Lu Jin. He shook his head. ”Let's just watch from here.”
Seeing the seriousness in Linfeng's eyes, the agitated Xiong Zhi took a deep breath, calmed down, and stayed several steps behind Lu Jin.
Because in the end, Xiong Zhi and Linfeng had contributed a lot to the current situation
Lu Jin did not pay attention to his surroundings. He did not see the people around them taking pictures of him and wondering how he was related to the body.
All the noises around him were muted, but the sound of the waterproof sheet being lifted was magnified in his ears.
When he finally lifted the cover, he saw an unrecognizable charred block. The sickly smell of burnt flesh assailed his senses.
It was as if the world had stopped.
Lu Jin's eyes were blank. All colors left his face.
He did not speak for a long time, to the point that the police officers exchanged looks of confusion.
But soon, the slight trembling in Lu Jin's body grew, until he was shivering visibly.
Others might not be able to identify him. But Lu Jin whose world revolved around his friend for more than fifteen years could.
Lu Jin's vision blurred. The cold fingers holding the cover shook badly.
Too late, he came too late. If only he had been a bit earlier...
His c.h.e.s.t was heavy and painful. He thought that he was already accustomed to this feeling. However, the pain he once felt in his heart during his mother's passing resurfaced again.
