The moment Lu Mello reached s.h.i.+ Yi"s place, Lu Mello received a call from the police officer he talked with earlier.
"h.e.l.lo?"
"Sir, we have found a dead body of the woman. She has a stab on her stomach. We would like you to come here to confirm if she really is your sister."
They found a dead body...?
He knew that Lu Weichun was wounded and the body they found was also wounded. Even if he refused to believe that the body they found was his sister, he couldn"t help but doubt.
"Sir?"
Lu Mello couldn"t hear a thing, it was like time stopped and he was slowly breaking apart. His eyes started to become misty for some reason.
He didn"t know what it was about Lu Weichun, but she attracted disaster wherever she went even when she was little. She was a naughty, spoiled and stubborn girl.
Among all his siblings, Lu Weichun was the most spoiled by their parents. She was the total opposite of Lu Xingyan who was always behaved.
His sister was dear to him just like his other siblings. He watched her grow together with her twin sister.
He could still remember clearly when his mother gave birth to his twin sisters. The first time he saw them, they were sleeping so peacefully. They were both cute and adorable like an angel. Lu Weichun who was sleeping beside Lu Xingyan smiled at him for the first time, as if greeting her brother. Her smile was like a spring, full of life.
Memories of their childhood days flashed before his eyes and those memories were suffocating him.
Didn"t Lu Weichun usually bring her bodyguards with her? Why was she alone during the time she was attacked?
Was it because... She had to meet s.h.i.+ Enxi?
The more he thought about it, the more blinded he was at that moment.
He knew that s.h.i.+ Enxi and Lu Weichun were not in good terms... He knew what s.h.i.+ Enxi was capable of... His mind couldn"t help but doubt her since all evidence was pointing at her.
The call has long ended but Lu Mello gave the police officer a message, saying that he was going to check the body later.
He was still hoping, hoping that the body didn"t belong to Lu Weichun. He actually preferred it if the body wasn"t found. At least there would still be hope for him, hoping that his sister was still alive.
He walked out of his car and looked at the mansion"s entrance. He tried his best to calm himself, his emotions were in turmoil inside him. How should he ask s.h.i.+ Enxi? What if... She really was behind it?
He thought that he would be able to hold back and rationalize things but the moment he saw s.h.i.+ Enxi walkout, it was as if someone stabbed him on his chest.
s.h.i.+ Enxi was capable of killing anyone she hated, she even killed her own brother in the past so why would she hold back from killing Lu Weichun?
The News about Lu Weichun"s accident was already out. When s.h.i.+ Enxi learned about it, she was surprised.
Even her brother has to rush out to check if the News were real.
"Mello, I heard about what happened to Weichun." s.h.i.+ Enxi"s face was full of concern.
The News only stated that Lu Weichun"s body was missing after somebody tried to kill her.
For some reason, the concern on s.h.i.+ Enxi"s face looked fake for him.
He took large strides towards her, he grabbed her arm and with bloodshot eyes, he glared angrily at her. "Stop pretending!"
s.h.i.+ Enxi was startled by his sudden outburst. "W-what do you mean?"
The more Lu Mello saw her reaction, the angrier he got. His body was trembling in fury. As the bloodstained car flashed before his eyes, he started losing himself.
He laughed coldly, "Hahaha I thought that you can change, what a fool I am... Stop pretending, s.h.i.+ Enxi. You"re only making yourself look like a fool."
Was Lu Mello... suspecting her?
"Did you ordered Huang Li to kill her? A witness saw the man who killed her. It was him, right?"
"No, it was not him. I am not the one who tried to ki-"
"Shut up! I know that it"s you! I know that you don"t like Lu Weichun but... but you didn"t have to kill her... She"s my sister, Enxi... MY SISTER!! Do you think that... that just because I love you, I will tolerate everything and turn blind?" Tears brimmed on the side of Lu Mello"s eyes as he tightened his hold on her arm.
The love he was feeling for her was slowly turning into hate, the pain he felt was swallowing him. It was as if someone was pouring acid on his soul.
The eyes that were once filled with so much purpose and love were now replaced with bitterness and hate.
Despite the pain that she was feeling from Lu Mello"s hold, seeing him that way was suffocating her. Sudden fear enveloped her.
"It was not me, Mello... I didn"t do it. It wasn"t me!"
"Stop denying it. All the evidence points to you."
Lu Mello released her arm, his gaze turned cold as frost. The pain he had in his eyes was gone. "I"m afraid I cannot turn blind with what you did this time. I would really appreciate it if you could hand yourself to the police. Don"t make me force you, s.h.i.+ Enxi."
Lu Mello turned and was about to leave her but he was stopped when s.h.i.+ Enxi grabbed on to his arm.
"It wasn"t me, Mello!" Her tears rolled down her cheeks as she desperately held unto him. She was afraid of losing him. If she let him go of him now, she might not be able to have a chance to talk to him again.
"Let go, Enxi." His face showed no warmth or gentleness, it was like he turned into a different man.
"Why won"t you believe me?!"
"Believe you?" He chuckled as if hearing a funny joke. "Why should I? If you can kill your own brother, how much more your sister-in-law?"
"I-I didn"t kill my brother."
"You tried." He held her wrist and pulled her hand away. "I did love you, Enxi... I love you so much to the point where I am willing to give you my own life... But why my sister? Why do you have to be like this? No matter how much you hate my sister... Why can"t you hold back? Did you ever love me?"
He turned and walked away from her, heading towards the car.
"Don"t go... Please don"t go." She begged as she went after him. "Mello... D-didn"t you promise me that y-you will never leave me?" This time, she held his hand.
"I did, but after what you did, how can I stay with you? If I won"t bring justice to my sister, what kind of brother will I be?"
"Give me a chance to prove that I"m innocent so, please... Don"t leave me... It really wasn"t me... You know that I love you. I will never try to take Weichun"s life!"
"How many more lies will you tell me?"
"I"m not lying." She leaned and hugged him close. "Please believe me... Please... Please don"t leave me, Mello."
Lu Mello stayed quiet for a while. It was hard for him to see s.h.i.+ Enxi like this. She always has a strong front, she never begged. This was the first time he saw her this way... But... It was all an act, right?
He held his shoulders and pushed her away. "That"s enough lying, Enxi. Aren"t you tired?"
s.h.i.+ Enxi shook her head, her face was full of tears. "Don"t go... Don"t leave... I"m pregnant! You can"t leave me! I"m carrying your child!"
s.h.i.+ Enxi didn"t have a choice but to tell him about her pregnancy to make him stay.
Lu Mello was surprised. Pregnant?
"Stop lying."
"I"m not lying! I"m not! We can go to the doctor! I am not lying, I"m pregnant, Mello... So, please... Please don"t leave me."
