Chapter 411: Pity

Translator: Lonelytree

“Luo Cong’s face is disfigured. He had to have 14 stitches on his face. His left leg couldn’t be saved. He just got out of amputation surgery. With regards to Lu Ke, she only sustained minor injuries.”

Hearing that, Mo Li frowned. “Did you find out who tampered with their car?”

“No, the person was very prudent. Our people couldn’t find anything.”

Mo Li frowned deeper. She only wanted to scare Lu Ke and Luo Cong. When Luo Cong’s car flew down into the hole, Mo Li thought something was wrong. Luo Cong didn’t look like a person who would not value his life, so Mo Li had someone look at the car before it was impounded by the police. Someone had ruined the brake. It was why Luo Cong’s car wouldn’t stop that night.

…

It was one month away from Christmas. Everyone was preparing for the festivities. The company workers were rushing to finish their KPI so that they wouldn’t work through the New Year.

There was no news from Quan Yu, and Mo Li attended school for a whole week even though her mind was always outside of school. However, the number of examinations the students had these days stumped her. She thought she would be free around year-end but the number of exams dominated most of her time!

Xiao Rui was also very busy. Even though he had a lot of unsolved cases, he had a lot of meetings to attend. For the sake of promotion, he had to mingle with the important people. Xiao Rui did not have time to discuss the mahogany issue with Mo Li.

During the month of November, when everyone was busy, Luo Cong woke up. His case with Lu Ke had some progress.

After he woke up, Luo Cong seemed to have lost his mind. The moment he saw his missing left leg, he instantly broke down. He would make a big fuss in the ward. He didn’t dare to look at himself in the mirror. He was passably handsome before, but now he looked like a terrifying ghost. He told everyone that it was Lu Ke and Mo Li who did this to him, but everyone thought the man was just having a mental breakdown.

Nowadays, everyone was only focused on the headlines. Even though the case hadn’t been cleared, the headlines of the ‘second rich generation’ getting in a car accident while drunk grabbed plenty of attention. Many people scolded Luo Cong, and he was everyone’s target. The ugly news of the Luo Family was dug up and their reputation sank further.

When Luo Cong’s father heard that his only son became an invalid, he fainted and was sent to the hospital. He was rescued for days before he got his life back. When he woke up, he sneaked away from the hospital and went into hiding without even paying the hospital bills.

Luo Cong’s mother came to visit him, she was the only one who would come to take care of him. She pushed the door open, carrying homemade food. Luo Cong sat idly looking out the window. He was so thin, he didn’t look like a man anymore.

“Cong Cong, you need to eat something! I’ve made your favorite dishes, you should eat them when they’re still hot!” Luo Cong’s mother wiped at her tears. She moved to adjust Luo Cong’s blanket. But Luo Cong suddenly pushed her away with a face filled with disgust. “Don’t touch me! Get away from me!”

“Cong Cong, you can’t be like this! You really can’t! You have to eat something. When you get better, your father will come back.”

When Luo Cong heard the term, ‘father’, his eyes suddenly glowed. He smiled for the first time since he woke up. However, due to a ghastly wound on his face, when he smiled, it made him look even more terrifying. “That’s right, mother! You’re right! Where is father? He can save me, tell him that someone is out to get us! He has to help us!”

Luo Cong’s mother was shocked by her son’s reaction. She shivered involuntarily. “Your father… He just recovered…” She didn’t dare to tell her son that his father had gone into hiding so she changed the subject. “But you’ve gone too far this time. How could you drink and drive? Are you trying to scare us to our death? In any case, you should focus on your study first. When this blows over… your dad will come to help you.”

Luo Cong flung his mother’s hands away, and he roared. “You are my mother and even you don’t believe me? I was framed! I wasn’t drunk drinking! Someone bumped their car into me…” His emotions were fraying. His mother was so afraid that she didn’t speak. Luo Cong took a deep breath as he lowered his head. He was silent. When he raised his head, his emotions changed. His eyes were red and his tears fell on the bedsheet. If he weren’t so greedy and did those things to provoke Mo Li and Lu Ke, these things wouldn’t have happened.

Due to the heavy grievance, his shoulders shook. With only a leg left, Luo Cong crawled to his mother. He cried in despair. “Mom, look at me. Look at your son.. How do you expect me to live? I know our family doesn’t have much influence anymore but I haven’t done anything too bad. Why did this happen to me?”
