487 A Different Person

Qiao An regained some of her composure. She said anxiously, “No, it’s too dangerous for Uncle Lu to be outside. He clearly came to the Xiao family today to investigate the enemy.”

Then, she complained, “Didn’t we ask Huo Zhou to call the police to arrest Uncle Lu? Why did Uncle Lu appear in the Xiao family? He should be in the police station?”

Huo Xiaoran realized something and his expression changed drastically. He immediately took out his phone and called Huo Zhou.

After the call went through, Huo Xiaoran couldn’t wait to question him. “Zhou Zhou, did you do the mission we assigned you?”

Huo Zhou thought for a moment and said calmly, “Are you talking about reporting Uncle Lu? Aiya, Xiaoran, I was thinking that if Uncle Lu goes in at this time, no one will be in charge of Auntie’s funeral, so I was thinking about two days later…”

“Shit!” Xiao Ran cursed angrily.

Huo Zhou realized that he might have done something stupid and asked uneasily, “What’s wrong, Xiaoran?”

Huo Xiaoran was furious. “Hurry up and call the police. You have to get them to arrest him as soon as possible.”

Huo Zhou sensed the urgency of the matter from Huo Xiaoran’s anger and quickly replied, “Yes, yes, yes. Don’t be anxious. I’ll call the police immediately.”

Soon, a police siren sounded in the Heavenly Imperial Garden.

Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran looked at each other. “Has he been caught?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Let’s go take a look.”

Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An walked out of the courtyard and realized that Huo Zhou’s family had also run out to watch the commotion.

“Who was arrested?” Huo Zhou’s mother asked.

“Uncle Lu,” Huo Zhou said without thinking.

Huo Zhou’s mother said in surprise, “Why was he captured?”

Huo Zhou said, “Conspiring to murder his wife.”

Huo Zhou’s mother looked shocked.

“Didn’t your Aunt Lu commit suicide?”

At this moment, the police car drove over from the Xiao family. When it passed by Qiao An, Uncle Lu’s deep and sharp eyes stared straight at her with a hint of disdain and mockery.

Qiao An trembled.

Huo Xiaoran glanced at Uncle Xiao behind the police car and pulled Qiao An towards him.

“Uncle Xiao, did he confess?” Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran shouted.

Uncle Xiao watched the police car leave and nodded in disappointment. “Before I could interrogate him, he bowed his head and confessed. He cried and told me that he had lost his daughter in middle age. It was a huge blow to him. He felt that there was no point in living, and his resentment towards Mrs. Lu increased. That’s why he accidentally beat her up when he was drunk. However, he can’t even remember if Mrs. Lu was beaten to death or hanged. He confessed readily and has some soldierly blood in him. I hope he can enter the police station and reform himself.”

However, Qiao An sneered. “He knows how to defend himself. When he said that there’s no point in living, he wanted to mislead you that he has a mental illness so he can get a reduced sentence. He also said that he lost his memory from drinking. He wanted to imply that he killed under passion instead of a plot. Every word he said was to justify his reduced sentence.”

Uncle Xiao looked at Qiao An in shock. “An’an, your meticulous thinking really impressed me.”

Qiao An smiled. “Uncle Xiao, you have a deep brotherly relationship with him. You just don’t want to think so badly of him.”

Uncle Xiao’s expression was solemn. “I really underestimated him.”

As if he had lost a treasure, Uncle Xiao felt very regretful. “He was clearly not like this in the past. He was extremely loyal to the motherland and the party. Because of this, we almost recommended him to be an undercover agent.”

Qiao An looked at Uncle Xiao and fell into deep thought.

To be able to have the characteristics of being a spy, a person’s will should be tenacious. Uncle Lu was once such a determined warrior. How did he become so disloyal and unfilial?

It was as if they were two different people.

The thought startled Qiao An.

A terrifying thought suddenly appeared in her mind. She tugged at Uncle Xiao’s sleeve excitedly and begged, “Uncle, I have to see Qianyu now. I have something urgent to confirm with her. If I’m any later, it’ll be too late.”

Uncle Xiao also knew that the next day was August 15th. If they could get more specific information about the bandits today, their chances of winning would be higher.

And Qianyu was their only chance.

“Okay.” Uncle Xiao agreed to Qiao An’s request.

Then, in the middle of the night, Qiao An arrived at the prison.

The staff pulled Qianyu up from the bed. “Lu Qianyu, someone wants to see you.”

Lu Qianyu walked out sleepily. In a small cubicle, Lu Qianyu was slightly stunned when she saw Qiao An.

“It’s late. You came to see me for something urgent, right?”

Qiao An nodded.

Her expression was extremely solemn. “Qianyu, I hope you can answer me truthfully. This determines if I can clear your Lu family’s name.”

Qianyu sneered. “Avenge her! Hehe, Qiao An, what are you thinking? My father killed my mother. You saw it with your own eyes. You still want to clear the Lu family’s name?”

Qiao An stared into Qianyu’s eyes. “Let me ask you, you said that you were sent away by your mother when you were seven or eight years old. You must remember some of the days before that. Tell me, was your father especially loving and gentle toward you and your sister when you were young?”

Lu Qianyu’s face was cold. “He’s good at pretending. He probably hates us for being girls, but he had to gain a good impression in front of outsiders and pretended to be very good to us.”

Qiao An shook her head. “Your father was good to you in the past from the bottom of his heart. You would have felt it.”

“Later, his kindness to you was only limited to when there were outsiders around. You should be able to sense the difference, right?”

Qianyu fell into deep thought.

Her thoughts drifted away. She nodded. “You’re right. I loved him very much at least until I was six. But after that, he became colder and colder to us.”

Qiao An heaved a sigh of relief.

“Did his attitude towards your mother change after he was cold to you? Was that when he abused your mother?”

Qianyu looked at Qiao An suspiciously. “What exactly are you suspecting?”

Qiao An said, “I suspect that your current father isn’t your biological father now.”

Lu Qianyu fell into a chair.

“That’s impossible.”

Qiao An said, “Why not? Didn’t you pretend to be your sister back then?”

Lu Qianyu’s face turned pale. “What about my biological father?”

“I suspect he had been hidden?”

Lu Qianyu shook her head. “That’s impossible. My father is so old. Where can he be hidden? Moreover, he’s been disguised as my father for so many years. Can’t my mother know the difference?”
