“You come over tomorrow,” Mr. Lu finally said after a moment of silence.
“Alright.”
The grandfather and grandson didn’t say much more. Mr. Lu asked about Mei Shu’s recovery before hanging up the phone.
After the call ended, Lu Si stood alone by the window, gazing outside lost in thought.
The death of his parents had always been a burden on his heart over the years.
Mei Shu sighed and said, “I’ll remind Black Panther these days. He’s been investigating for so long; there should be some news by now.”
She couldn’t offer any comforting words, but she could do her best to help him.
The next day, Mei Shu accompanied Lu Si to visit Mr. Lu.
At first, Lu Si adamantly refused, wanting her to stay in bed for rest. But after Mei Shu assured him multiple times that she wouldn’t run around recklessly, Lu Si finally agreed to bring her along.
Mr. Lu knew Mei Shu was coming too, so he had the housekeeper prepare Mei Shu’s favorite dishes in advance. He even made a few phone calls before it was time, urging them to hurry.
Lu Si drove while Mei Shu sat in the passenger seat. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Mr. Lu waiting for them.
Mei Shu rolled down the car window, leaned out, and greeted Mr. Lu.
Mr. Lu liked Mei Shu’s lively demeanor and waved back at her with a smile.
Mei Shu smiled back, and after Lu Si parked the car, she expertly opened the door and unfastened her seatbelt, ready to get out.
“Shu’er!” Lu Si’s tone was calm, but it carried a clear threat.
His tone was calm, but it was full of threat.
At Mei Shu’s turned, she looked back at Lu Si with a smile. “Hehe, my leg has already improved a lot, and Grandpa is here now. It’s not proper for you to carry me.”
Lu Si didn’t reply, just stared at her in silence.
Mei Shu: “…”
“Okay, okay,” Mei Shu conceded, “then hurry up. Don’t keep Grandpa waiting.”
Lu Si raised an eyebrow slightly, got out of the car, and walked straight to the passenger side. He bent down and lifted Mei Shu out of the car.
Since her leg injury, Mei Shu had gotten used to being carried by Lu Si, so when he lifted her out of the car, she knew to keep her head low to avoid hitting it.
Mr. Lu didn’t see anything inappropriate about the two of them and instead smiled as he watched them. He was the first to greet Mei Shu.
“How’s your injury, Shu’er?” Mr. Lu asked Mei Shu.
Mei Shu nodded. “Thank you for your concern, Grandfather. It’s much better now.”
“That’s good, that’s good,” Mr. Lu nodded repeatedly, then urged Lu Si, “Hurry up and go inside. The meal has been ready for a while now, we’ll be eating soon.”
Mei Shu nodded again, then whispered to Lu Si, “Bring the things from the trunk.”
It was a set of chess she had once bought at an auction, made of fir wood, finely crafted, and quite rare.
When she saw the set, she immediately thought of Mr. Lu, who enjoyed having tea and playing chess with his friends. This set of chess could be said to cater to his preferences.
Once inside the house, Mei Shu handed the set of chess to Mr. Lu, who indeed liked it very much and couldn’t put it down.
Though this young girl was not very old, she knew how to navigate social situations well and was very likable.
It was a bit unfair to accompany her always cold grandson.
Thinking this, Mr. Lu glanced at Lu Si with a hint of disdain.
Lu Si noticed the disdain in his grandfather’s eyes and felt somewhat speechless.
After dinner, Mr. Lu took the two of them to his study. He took out a file folder and handed it to Lu Si. “These are the things I’ve found. It’s been so many years; it’s hard to find evidence now. This was collected when the incident happened. I had someone look into it. I’m not sure if it’s useful, but I’m certain of one thing—your parents definitely did not die by accident.”
Lu Si nodded. “I know. I’ll take care of the rest.”
Mr. Lu looked at him with satisfaction. When Lu Si’s parents died, he was still young. Later, many people said that his grandson had personality defects. He knew these so-called defects were related to his parents’ early death. If his parents had been with him, Lu Si would have been like any other happy child from a normal family.
“I’ve been investigating for so many years. I’ll give you the contact information of the person I hired. If you have any doubts, you can call him directly,” Mr. Lu said.
Lu Si nodded and immediately opened the file folder.
There were many things inside, including reports from the time of the incident. But what caught Lu Si’s eye the most was a photograph.
