Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband-Novel

Chapter 675 But I was Late...

"You...really...."

"I am sorry but I did it and I am sure Lu Qiang knew about it."

"He must know about it but he was the person for whom family came first so he must have kept it to him but what was the need when you had so much, elder brother?"

"I wanted to start my own business and just like him, I didn’t want any conflicts in the family. If I had told him about it, Lu Qiang would have asked me to get his position but I didn’t want it because I knew I was not capable as him. If I had gone out to get the finances, then there would be the news in the business circle about the conflicts in the family which would be false and bad for the business. To avoid this, I chose this way. Moreover, Qin Xiu is from one reputed business family so until when I would have let her parents be disappointed with me thinking their daughter is not the wife of any powerful businessman. They married her in this family thinking she would be the queen as I am the eldest son. I just wanted to do something on my own first and after getting success, I planned to return all the money to Lu Qiang."

"What can I say now, elder brother? I just need an answer to only one question. Are you involved in Lu Qiang’s accident?"

"What?... Are you out of your mind, Lu Feng?"

"If you had betrayed your brother once for your own reasons or under pressure then it’s not impossible for you to help those bastards with these."

"He was my brother, Lu Feng. Instead of harming him, I wanted to save his life and I would have done it even if it had cost my own life, but I was late."

"What do you mean you were late? Did you know about all this?"

"The day before the accident, I went to meet Xi Cheng as he called me by blackmailing. When I went there, I heard his conversation with someone who was instructing Xi Chen what to do and what his boss wanted him to do. That person didn’t look like he was from China and seemed like he was a person of someone powerful out."

"Someone out from China?"

"Yes, I heard they were planning to hurt Lu Qiang. I couldn’t control myself and barged into the room and almost beat Xi Cheng. His men got hold of me and he even asked me to be a part of their plan, but when I said no, they threatened me with the lives of other people in our family. He was already prepared to involve me in his plan and prepared everything. He showed me Qin Xiu’s picture from where she was at that moment, saying their men might hurt her. Not just Qin Xiu, they had other people in the family as the target just to blackmail me. I was scared for others as the person who was ordering it was someone very powerful."

"Who was it and why they were doing it?"

"The day of the accident I planned to tell Lu Qiang....."

"Why does it feel like there is something missing in this recording?" Jiang Yuyan asked as she looked at San Zemin.

"As it was recovered by the team after having some problem with it, it must have missed a few words or something but from what I remember after hearing their conversation at that time, I can tell there is nothing important missing other than Mr. Lu Han, mentioning the name of Victor Magnus," San Zemin replied confidently that Jiang Yuyan stared at him for a moment and continued listening to the audio recording.

"The day of the accident I planned to tell Lu Qiang everything about their plans and that’s why I was waiting to go with him to his office but before that this happened. I didn’t know they planned it for just the next day as from their conversation I thought they had time. When I said no, they must have understood I will tell everything to Lu Qiang."

"You should have done it sooner, elder brother."

"I am sorry I was late, Lu Feng, and every moment I curse myself for being late."

With this, the recording ended and Jiang Yuyan understood Lu Han had nothing to with Lu Qinag’s accident but it was sure that he betrayed her husband then whatever the reason was and she won’t let it slide.

San Zemin gave Jiang Yuyan further information. "After that, Mr. Lu Feng came back to his apartment. He didn’t come out for the entire day and the next day evening when we went there, the boss is aware of what happened."

"How did Lu Feng end up meeting Xi Cheng?" Jiang Yuyan asked.

"That we are not sure and neither we can expect Mr. Lu Feng to tell us everything, but he left home the next morning by fooling our men and missed the cameras so that we couldn’t take further pictures to know where he went," San Zemin informed.

"He fooled you so easily," Jiang Yuyan commented sarcastically and asked, "From where he got the gun. Does he have one?"

"He doesn’t. That gun he used, he bought it from the black market. After leaving the apartment and leaving the car on the highway, Mr. Lu Feng must have hired a cab to go to the black market and later called Xi Cheng."

"So he already planned to kill Xi Cheng and went there intending to kill him," Jiang Yuyan concluded.

San Zemin agreed, "Yes, and it was good that he didn’t use his own gun because they might use it against him."

"So they want to use this incident to blackmail us," Jiang Yuyan concluded.

"Looks like it." Saying it, San Zemin showed Jiang Yuyan one video in the Tablet.
