Chapter 2212: Car Crash Off the Cliff (4)
Looking at Jiaojiao’s hopeful expression, Duan Xi still remained motionless.
He could guess Lu Xian’s intentions. Choosing to crash and fall off a cliff was certainly a deliberate attempt to avoid being found. If his body was discovered, the fact that he had been dead for a long time couldn’t be concealed, so he chose this approach.
He didn’t know whether to judge this behavior as too foolish or too self-righteous.
First of all, besides everything else, just speaking of the Lu Family, how could they possibly not look for his remains? They would surely search all over the mountain to locate him.
Furthermore, there’s him and Jiaojiao; Jiaojiao knows that he can summon all animals, so while the bottom of this cliff might be impassable for others, it’s not the same for him.
Therefore, unless his body was burned by the car that went down, there is no way to hide the fact that he has been dead for a long time.
He has been dead for a month and his heart has been extracted, which cannot be concealed.
Had he considered what consequences would follow once the Lu Family learned about these things?
Duan Xi felt pained at Lu Xian’s self-righteous foolishness.
He pulled Jiaojiao into his arms, gently kissed her tear-reddened eyes, and softly said, "I’ll take you over there first."
"Okay." Jiaojiao nodded, behaving exceptionally well at that moment, wrapped her arms around his waist, and whispered, "Brother Xi, although I know you’re very capable, please be careful when you go down, okay?"
"Yes, don’t worry." Duan Xi nodded, bowing his head to kiss her again, then returned her to Shu Jiao and the others.
"Auntie, Auntie Li, Grandma, Jiaojiao, please watch over them for me, I’ll go down and take a look now." He said to the group.
On the other side, upon hearing this, Lu Zishu immediately ran over excitedly: "Brother Xi, take me, take me, I also want to..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Duan Xi gave him a cold glance, ruthlessly mocking, "What would you do by going down, make trouble?"
Lu Zishu was embarrassed, his face turning red, while Jiaojiao intervened: "Brother Zishu, let’s wait for them here, godmother needs your care too."
Lu Zishu watched Duan Xi as he turned and walked towards the edge of the cliff, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging into his flesh, eyes blood-red.
In the past, with Lu Xian around, he was just getting by, wasting time each day. Zhao Li and Lu Zhiwei never demanded much from him because they all pinned their hopes on his brother, as did he. He always believed that with his brother around, he didn’t need to worry about anything.
But now that the real trouble happened, he realized how useless he really was!
Watching Duan Xi’s silhouette disappear at the cliff’s edge, he wiped his eyes fiercely, standing still for a long time.
Jiaojiao also didn’t know how to comfort him, so she walked to his side and said, "Brother Zishu, Brother Xi will definitely bring Brother Xian back."
As they grew older, especially in recent years, Jiaojiao rarely called him Brother Zishu, usually just called him by his name.
Now, hearing it suddenly, Lu Zishu almost felt like crying. He turned his head, glanced at Jiaojiao, and hoarsely said, "Thank you, Jiaojiao."
Lu Xian fell off the cliff, searching below was dangerous work, yet all this danger ultimately fell on the Ruan Family.
Ruan Jie had already gone down without hesitation, and now even Duan Xi, who generally seemed indifferent towards everyone except Jiaojiao from the Ruan Family, went down, resulting in a blend of emotions and guilt.
