Zhou Lin looked at Lu Ning and remained silent.
Lu Bai watched from afar, still digesting what she had just said.
In the end, he could not help but stand up and sit beside Lu Ning. He raised his hand and took the stack of documents in front of her to flip through them page by page.
Lu Ning looked at Zhou Lin. “Uncle Zhou, my father has persisted for so many years. Why can’t he tell us? We’re all grown up and can protect ourselves. We can even protect Jingzhi. So, is there anything you can’t tell me? Can’t we really know about this?”
Lu Ning looked at him anxiously.
“Uncle Zhou! If my father doesn’t say it, won’t you say it either?! You’ve seen how they’ve lived for so many years. Are you going to watch us live in hiding for the rest of our lives?!”
Zhou Lin was stunned by her words.
“But, Ningning…”
Seeing that he had loosened up, Lu Ning immediately said, “No buts. Uncle Zhou, I won’t do anything. It’s just that I don’t know what my father will do to protect us. Aren’t you worried? Don’t you think that he asked you to do this because he was going to do something?!”
When he said this, Zhou Lin was completely floored. He had indeed neglected to think about this.
It was really strange for Lu Zhi to suddenly ask him to organize these things. He did not think too much about it, but when Lu Ning said that, this possibility suddenly came to his mind.
“Uncle Zhou, you don’t want anything to happen to my father, right? So tell me what happened, I’ll speak with him. He just found me, so there’s no way he can bear to part with me, right?”
Zhou Lin looked at Lu Ning. Lu Zhi indeed feels guilty towards Lu Ning and could not bear to part with her.
He’s mentioned a few times that he wanted to spend more time with Lu Ning.
Zhou Lin sighed.
“Ningning, it’s better for your father to tell you about this.”
Lu Ning tried again. “But Daddy wants to bear all of it by himself. Uncle Zhou, you’ve known Daddy for so many years. You understand him best.”
She was right. Zhou Lin knew Lu Zhi well, so he immediately believed Lu Nings words.
Zhou Lin pinched his fingers and looked up at Lu Ning, feeling a little troubled.
In the end, he slapped the table. “Alright, Uncle Zhou will tell you everything, but don’t be like your father and do anything drastic. I’ve realized now, you’re the one who’s the most like your father.” Lu Ning immediately nodded. “l won’t.” Zhou Lin finally spoke.
“Well, what do you want to know?”
Lu Ning looked at him seriously. “Everything.”
She wanted to know everything from Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin looked at her. “Alright, I’ll tell you everything.”
Lu Ning nodded and listened to him seriously.
“Your parents were also famous young talents in the capital back then. They were both outstanding, and the two of them fell in love and married. They were originally very happy.
“Later on, when your two brothers were born, the family could have lived together in peace.
“However, later on, there was an incident at a Jiäng family banquet.
“Your parents were invited that time too.
“The banquet was meant to celebrate Old Master Jiängs birthday, but Old Master Jiängs suddenly died during the celebrations, and it caught everyone off guard.
“At that time, there were no clues as to who had committed the deed. However, your parents happened to be looking for your two elder brothers who had run out to play, and they appeared at the location just like that.
“Jiäng Zhe, the Old Master Jiängs grandson, was 15 years old at that time..
When he saw your parents present, he was certain that it was them…”
