Chapter 313 Killing and Punishing the Heart

Yurong looked different from the people in the county town. After all, she was someone who had experienced the ups and downs of life in a first-tier city. When she was busy in the store, you could tell that she was a steady person, so it was not surprising for Lu Nanshen and Hang Si that she asked this question.

Hang Si thought Lu Nanshen had a talent for handling people's hearts, so she was waiting for Lu Nanshen's decision. Lu Nanshen didn't flirt this time, but said pointedly, "We are both victims, so we probably feel the same way."

Yurong was obviously stunned.

Then she looked at Lu Nanshen, as if to judge whether his words were true or not. But Lu Nanshen did not give her much time to buffer, and went straight to the point, "Liu Jun has made dirty money, right?"

The tone was very affirmative, which obviously caught Yurong off guard. For a moment, her face looked extremely ugly. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but for a long time, she couldn't utter a single word.

Although Hang Si was a bystander, his thoughts followed Lu Nanshen closely. When he heard his question, he was briefly stunned and then thought of the words of the hot pot restaurant owner. He understood it immediately and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Lu Nanshen continued, "Liu Jun's experience of making dirty money is related to Duan Ning, right?"

Yurong's face twitched uncontrollably, staring at Lu Nanshen, with astonishment in her eyes, and fear that she tried hard to suppress. Hang Si knew as soon as he saw this, Lu Nanshen had made the right bet.

He was just gambling. This was the conclusion that Hang Si came to after a brainstorming session, although he remained calm.

She and Lu Nanshen are on the same page now, and they have been discussing the case for the past two days. It is impossible for Lu Nanshen to know something in advance without telling her or communicating with her. So there is only one possibility, that is, Lu Nanshen took advantage of the situation and thought of this possibility, and used this possibility to test Yurong's reaction.

Hang Si never knew that Lu Nanshen was also a gambler, with accurate judgment and constant pressure.

Killing people and killing people is nothing more than that.

If Lu Nanshen had made one wrong move or made a wrong inference, their situation at this moment would have become very passive. If that happened, the opportunity for the meeting would have been wasted.

Yurong took a long time to speak, but it was obvious that her thoughts were confused. "I, I don't know what you are talking about."

"But I know what you are thinking." Lu Nanshen was calm, yet aggressive.

Yurong was startled.

"I've gotten to know you a little bit. You have a strong temper and are not someone who is used to compromise. Liu Jun got into a car accident. You were able to endure such a big thing, accept compensation and even return home. This is not like your character."

Yurong frowned, "I have elderly people and children to support, what else can I do if I don't accept compensation? I have a hot temper and I take everything very seriously, but I also have to consider reality. So what if I report the case? Liu Jun is gone, I will only be worthy of him if I take good care of my mother-in-law and raise the children."

It was as if the seal had been lifted, or more accurately, she had regained her sanity and started to speak. But although every word she said made sense, from the look in her eyes that she tried to hide, she still had a secret in her heart.

"This is Liu Jun's hometown and also his roots. Although it's not prosperous here, as long as I do some work I can always support my family. The compensation will eventually run out, and my child is still young, so I have to leave him some savings..."

"What did Liu Jun say to you before the accident?" Lu Nanshen said casually.

Yurong's chattering and seemingly reasonable arguments had no effect on Lu Nanshen. He seemed to have achieved a great result with little effort and brought the topic back to the point.

The firewall that Yurong had built with great difficulty collapsed instantly, and her fingers trembled. This tremor exposed her inner world.

Lu Nanshen began to attack her heart, "Liu Jun ran into Duan Ning before the accident, and then the accident happened. I don't believe this is a coincidence. I think you don't believe it either, otherwise why don't you dare to even mention it now?"

"I, I just don't want to face painful things anymore..."

Lu Nanshen smiled slightly, "You don't have the confidence to say that."

Yurong's face looked extremely ugly.

"So, let me tell you what you think." Lu Nanshen leaned forward slightly, staring at her face. "Liu Jun should have had some interactions with Duan Ning when he was making dirty money before. He knew Duan Ning, so after recognizing Duan Ning that day, Liu Jun should have realized some danger. Liu Jun told you that if he was in danger, you must take the elderly and children away to live, and don't pursue anything. Sure enough, not long after that, Liu Jun had a car accident. You accepted the mediation, took the compensation, took the children and the elderly and quickly left the city. Everyone thought you were greedy for the compensation, but in fact you were afraid that your family would be in danger again, so you kept silent about Liu Jun's affairs."

When Yurong heard this, her face twitched, "How do you know all this?"

Hang Si turned his head and looked at Lu Nanshen, with more shock than admiration in his heart.

I really admire you.

Lu Nanshen always controlled the topic and did not answer Yurong's question. He said, "Liu Jun's past is not something that can be made public. If you dig deeper into this matter, you are afraid that the child will not only affect his future but also be in danger. I am right, am I not?"

Yurong's psychological defenses completely collapsed, and her spine seemed to be bent.

Hang Si thought that Lu Nanshen's move was too cruel, it could destroy people's hearts to the point where nothing was left.

In this "negotiation", Lu Nanshen completely took the initiative and took advantage of the victory. "So tell me, what did Liu Jun do back then? How did he meet Duan Ning?"

Her beautiful face was closed and her lips were trembling slightly.

She came to the hotel to meet them purely because the hot pot restaurant owner had passed on the message, and she agreed to meet them more because she wanted to get rid of them with a few words, and she couldn't let the neighbors gossip about her. She didn't want to be led by the nose at the beginning of the fight, so that at this moment, she had completely lost the initiative.

Seeing that she was still hesitating, Hang Si, who had been silent all this time, spoke up, "The safest way is to find the murderer and bring him to justice. As long as the murderer is still at large, don't even think about living a peaceful life. Avoiding the problem won't solve it."

Yurong subconsciously clenched her hands together. Looking closely, she could see a layer of dense beads of sweat on her forehead.

This time Lu Nanshen did not press her too hard. He knew that Yurong's psychological defenses were completely broken and it was only a matter of time before she revealed the truth.

After a long while, Yurong spoke, "In fact, I only realized Liu Jun's past affairs after a while. It was only after Liu Jun ran into Duan Ning that I realized that he had concealed many things from me..."

"When he was young, he made a lot of money for his family. It was indeed as you said, all of which was dirty money. He made it by participating in illegal businesses in those shady areas abroad."

"What illegal business?" Lu Nanshen asked sensitively.

Yurong pinched her fingers hard and said tremblingly, "It seems to be related to...drug trafficking and child trafficking."
