Chapter 594 - 578 is most heartless, Kunling.
Guan Kunling moved into the Lu Mansion, and as she lay in bed with Lu Chi at night, she pondered the abnormality within the mansion. The expansive Lu Mansion exuded the scent of decay.
There were dead things.
The outside world couldn’t find Li Qiong’er; it’s possible that Lu Chi had hidden her, and maybe it wasn’t just that simple. Lu Chi, a man who could even kill his biological father, what else could he not do?
She had meticulously inspected every corner of the house, but found nothing.
So, where could it be?
In the darkness, Kunling stared silently at the wall, the moonlight revealing its thick disguise. Was it the wall?
Lu Chi reached out and wrapped her waist with an unbelievably gentle gesture and voice: "When my son is born, I’ll teach him many things. I’ll groom him into a..."
"Teach him what? Patricide, uxoricide, seize by force, maintain a mistress?" Kunling coolly retorted.
Lu Chi was choked into silence, too guilty to respond.
No, it was to teach him useful things and groom him into a talent.
At the start of the month, Lu Chi had things arranged haphazardly.
That day, he had to go out to arrange the final matter. Since Hua Lin didn’t take the bait, that route hadn’t been cut off.
As he was leaving in the afternoon, Lu Chi was reluctant to go, pulling Kunling’s hand, saying affectionately: "Wait for me, as soon as this matter is over, we can leave. I’ll come back for you all."
Guan Kunling said nothing, only looking at him quietly.
The way she looked at him made him very anxious. After living at his home for more than a month, he treated her well because she was pregnant, even hiring two helpers to take care of her daily needs. But they spoke little, and often she would just respond dismissively with an "mm," and say no more.
He became more and more reluctant, greedily holding her hand: "Kunling, how about you come with me?"
As if this departure would result in life or death.
This time, Guan Kunling played along, pretending.
She smiled slightly: "I wouldn’t get tired, no matter how long I walk, it’s just that I have to be mindful of the belly."
Lu Chi’s eyes lit up, his hand supporting her waist, "Yes, we can’t tire out my son!"
This was a man previously full of treachery, now filled with thoughts of his son.
Less than half an hour after Lu Chi left, some police officers broke into the Lu Mansion.
"We have concrete evidence that Lu Chi is smuggling prohibited drugs. Earlier at the destination, he managed to escape due to an oversight. Miss Guan, do you know where he might go?"
No one expected Lu Chi to escape!
Exchanging a glance with Jiang Jinghuai, Guan Kunling said: "He will contact me. I’ll inform you as soon as there is news. Have you found Qiong’er?"
Jiang Jinghuai shook his head.
"I suspect she’s in the basement. I’ll take you down." The group proceeded to the basement.
Kunling was very familiar with this basement, having observed it many times later, finding nothing unusual. But that night’s sudden whim gave her hope again. She reached out and knocked on the wall.
Jiang Jinghuai and others quickly understood her intention, also finding places to tap with their knuckles, until they hit a few spots that seemed hollow and weak. They fetched people and tools to dig, and the basement filled with dust and noisy sounds.
The workers began sweating on their foreheads, and finally, a hole was dug out of the wall. A foul odor spread out. Everyone’s faces changed, looking over in surprise.
A rotting corpse.
A half month later, there was news about Lu Chi, who had been on the run. He wrote a letter to Kunling, stating he was ready and wanted to take her away. He acknowledged that Kunling and he were not on the same side, clearly stating in the letter that if Kunling wanted to go with him, she shouldn’t hand the letter to anyone else. If she didn’t want to go, she could disclose his location to the police, as he was fully prepared.
The police arriving would only equate to walking into a trap, and the outcome was undecided.
Kunling instantly handed the letter to Jiang Jinghuai.
She rode in the police car, alongside Jiang Jinghuai, to a small village in the north where Lu Chi was hiding.
The layered mountain peaks rose and fell, Jiang Jinghuai lit a cigarette while driving.
Looking at the passing green mountains, his deep voice cut through the swirling smoke: "Have you made up your mind?"
Kunling nodded.
Breaking doors and windows, searching house to house, unstoppable.
A small house among the mountains, where Lu Chi, surrounded, remained undaunted.
Only after seeing through the window outside, he felt disappointedly, "Kunling really didn’t come."
He had hidden a bomb inside the house; if Kunling came, he wouldn’t die; if she didn’t, he would ignite the bomb, perishing with Jiang Jinghuai and others. He hadn’t considered another possibility, where both sides showed up.
He actually didn’t want to die, as he hadn’t yet seen his son’s birth. But he was gambling, wagering on victory or defeat. Kunling didn’t come, so he lost. Losing meant he couldn’t live on. He didn’t want others to live either, like Jiang Jinghuai. They all should have perished in that disaster with Jiaqi. Over the years, they were barely surviving, unnecessary gifts granted.
Officers were calling outside.
Lu Chi’s heart was like dead ashes, a sinister smile curved at his mouth, he picked up a match.
Just as he was about to strike it, he heard a woman’s calm, gentle voice: "Lu Chi."
Kunling!
It was Kunling!
Lu Chi dropped the match, his body trembling with excitement.
His gaze fell on the closed door!
"Lu Chi, open the door," she said.
She came, she actually came, but she brought the police with her.
"Lu Chi, if you don’t come out, then I’ll take my leave," she continued.
"Don’t go!" Panicked, Lu Chi opened the door.
Sunlight streamed in from outside, bright, dazzling, happiness seemingly within reach.
"Bang!" A loud gunshot echoed.
Everyone held their breath, looking at this resolute and graceful woman, the gun in her hand pointed at Lu Chi’s chest.
Shot after shot, deafening.
She fired seven times, her eyes never blinking.
Lu Chi’s body shook like sifting wheat, agony tearing his guts apart, blood continuously flowing from his body, the heavy scent of it suffusing his nose and engulfing his entire being.
His hand was still in the motion of opening the door, then it swung aimlessly, and he fell soundlessly to the ground.
"Why?" he wept.
Guan Kunling walked toward him, holding her belly, crouched down and smiled by his ear: "Because I am..."
Lu Chi suddenly stiffened.
In the first second after being shot, he wanted to say, if I die, let my son take revenge for me in the future. But the person who killed him was Kunling. Now Kunling spoke to him, saying she was...
"I beg you, don’t..."
He slowly extended his hand, breathlessly gasping, his hand barely lifting a second before dropping silently.
In Guan Kunling’s calm eyes, there were no waves of emotion, she covered his wide-open, lifeless eyes with her hand, his gaze fixated on her belly.
Don’t what? She couldn’t fulfill his wish.
What was owed to her must be repaid.
Karma always comes around.
