Ten Thousand Clans: Evolution begins with the fusion of red ghosts

Chapter 35 【】: Forgive yourself

"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect you to be quite narcissistic." Lu Xun looked her up and down and teased, "Do you think you are worth more than 60 million?"

"I…"

Li Xiaoning was immediately speechless.

Her pretty face was tense, but she couldn't help but blush.

Not to mention 60 million, even if she were sold in half, it would still not be worth 1 million.

But she really couldn't think of anything else that the other party would like in her home?

The only thing worth coveting is her pretty face...

In the past two years, many Hentai uncles have offered benefits and wanted to accept her as their "goddaughter".

Of course... in the end, those bad uncles all knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, while calling her "Mom".

"Stop guessing, this money is for you, to be precise, it's for Dad."

Lu Xun waved his hand and said to her:

"Someone owed your father 60 million, and he paid back the money. Well, that's all you need to understand. You don't need to know the rest."

He did not want to say more about the specific source of the money.

After all, the case involved so much that it took a lot of effort to turn over the story.

He is out of the vortex and doesn’t even want to mention it in the future!

"Okay, the money has been delivered. I won't have anything to do with you from now on. Just pretend you've never seen me before and say goodbye."

After finishing speaking, Lu Xun stood up and prepared to leave.

Li Xiaoning hesitated to speak, and wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing that he had already decided to leave, it was inconvenient to stop him.

Suddenly, the communicator on his wrist vibrated, as if a message had been received.

She glanced down and was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and called Lu Xun:

"Wait a minute, may I ask, is the person who entrusted you with the money...his surname Lin?"

Click~

Lu Xun paused, then slammed the half-open door.

He turned back to look at her, squinting his eyes, with a faint signal of danger in his eyes:

"Tell me, how did you know? Don't lie."

Old Octopus has never had contact with Li Zhongxian's family in his life.

He had been sending money anonymously, using other people's accounts to transfer money to old friends' savings cards.

There is no way Li Xiaoning knows Old Octopus.

But she almost called out the old octopus's name - Lin Sheng.

She knew that the 60 million was sent by the old octopus.

Do you know where Old Octopus got his money?

Does she know anything about the deal?

How much do you know? Who told her?

Without understanding these things, Lu Xun would never be able to leave with peace of mind.

Because it is related to his own safety!

His identity may be exposed!

"I…"

Li Xiaoning was stared at by Lu Xun, and her body instinctively felt fear, with a kind of trembling and horror coming from the depths of her soul!

This feeling is indescribable, as if a little rabbit suddenly encountered a 10,000-meter-long dragon and was stared at by the terrifying dragon eyes. The dragon's majesty is so majestic that it cannot be desecrated.

Just a hint of hostility from the other party made her feel a sense of oppression on the life level.

The feeling of being deprived of life at any time is not pleasant.

"Yes...it's my dad. He asked me to ask you."

Li Xiaoning explained in a trembling voice and said softly: "Are you angry? If he said something wrong, please... please don't blame him."

Your dad?

Lu Xun was stunned for a moment, and then restrained his aggressiveness.

Her dad is a pathetic guy like his uncle, non-threatening.

"Well, take me over there and I'll have a chat with him." He thought for a while and said to Li Xiaoning.

"Okay." The feeling of being targeted by a strong person disappeared, and she breathed much easier.

She took Lu Xun to her father's ward.

open the door.

A very familiar rancid smell hit my face.

The layout inside is similar to Lu Xun's home.

Medical instruments were placed around him, and a "mummy" lay on the mechanical bed.

His body is covered with tubes, some for excretion, some for oxygen supply, and some to assist in heartbeat pacing...

How miserable!

Lu Xun looked at the camera on the monitor beside him and raised his hand to say hello.

"Mr. Li, did your adoptive father tell you this?" he asked.

Lines of text slowly appeared on the display screen——

[My adoptive father never mentioned him, but I vaguely guessed it a few years ago.

For thirty years, a mysterious person has been sending money to my adoptive father to support our family's life.

Every month, a sum of money comes into the account, sometimes several thousand, sometimes tens of thousands, and it never stops.

It wasn't until after my accident three years ago that the amount surged, and I started remitting more than 200,000 yuan a month, rain or shine. 】

"Then how are you sure it's him?" Lu Xun was puzzled.

Li Xiaoning next to her was also confused. She asked:

“Dad, isn’t that money the dividend from grandpa’s technology investment using an invention patent he had when he was young?”

[Fart’s dividends... After my adoptive father passed away, I checked specifically and found that he had no investment experience at all. After carefully calculating the time, I guessed the truth. 】——The words continue to emerge.

"This..." Li Xiaoning was stunned. It took him a while to react, and he quickly asked, "Who is this Mr. Lin? Why does he spare no effort to help our family?"

Thirty years!

I have worked silently for half my life, but I don't want to come and see him.

What kind of person is worthy of doing this?

What is his relationship with his family?

Li Xiaoning's heart was full of questions.

[It starts from when I was very young. That year, my brother had a heart failure and was dying...]——The words appeared one after another on the display screen.

Li Zhongxian told his daughter the story that had been sealed for many years.

After hearing this, Li Xiaoning was so shocked that she was speechless.

She had never heard her elders mention these things.

"So... Grandpa adopted Dad, and he was entrusted by Mr. Lin?" She showed an expression of disbelief.

It wasn't until she saw Lu Xun nodded that she accepted the reality.

[Young man, can I ask you a favor? 】——Li Zhongxian suddenly said.

"You speak first."

[You should return the money to him. I have owed him too much kindness and cannot accept any more money... Sixty million is too much. I cannot repay this favor. 】

"ha?"

Lu Xun glared and almost didn't react: "Have you forgiven him?"

His father, mother, and brother all died due to an operation. He didn't hate the old octopus?

What's wrong with charging some compensation?

【forgive? Ha~ You overestimated me, I am not qualified to forgive him.

Do you know the success rate given by the hospital for that child's heart transplant?

92% success rate, written in black and white.

My biological parents signed the procedure knowing that there was an 8% chance that the surgery would fail.

Can you blame Lin Sheng?

He is not guilty, so how can I forgive him?

You also underestimated Lin Sheng.

Do you think he really needs my forgiveness?

He was too proud to tolerate his own failure and refused to attribute three lives to those 8% accidents.

From beginning to end, it was he who could not forgive himself.

I am not qualified to receive His atonement.

Far from hating him, I am extremely grateful for the help he has given me over the past thirty years.

Oh, speaking of which, it is my biological parents who I should hate.

My brother met with misfortune, and they ended up depressed and committing suicide. They didn't think about me at all.

If Lin Sheng hadn't found a home for me, tsk tsk...

So... I can't accept this 60 million, it's really too much, I can't bear this favor. 】

A very long paragraph.

Both Lu Xun and Li Xiaoning fell silent.

People, it's really scary to be paranoid.

I am not afraid of fighting against the sky, the earth, and people... I am afraid that I will compete with myself and cannot let go or be open-minded.

The end result of self-inflicted internal friction is to be trapped in a cage for life.

That failed operation seemed like an accident to outsiders, but in the eyes of the old octopus, it was a sin!

After the death of their child, the couple fell into depression and committed suicide.

It may seem like an accident to outsiders, but to Old Octopus, it’s just adding insult to injury!

Lu Xun is not easy to evaluate either.

After all, he was not the person involved, and no one had ever died on his operating table.

…

"Well, I understand what you mean."

Lu Xun nodded and said something shocking to the camera:

"But he is already dead, and he paid for these 60 million with his life."

"At the end of his life, he forgave himself... I saw it with my own eyes."

"He has never married and has no descendants. However, he can be regarded as half of your adoptive father, so you should keep this money. Even if you don't want to live, you should think about your daughter."

"With that being said, this is a story I hope you will keep in your heart and take with you to your grave."

After saying that, he turned and left the ward.

The matter is over, the deceased is gone.

Whether it is Old Octopus or Li Zhongxian, he will completely cut off from the past.

Bury old stories into the years and open a new chapter of life.
