Dream Capture: I Can See Through All Secrets!

118: 118. What a coincidenceLu Feng’s consciousness pierced through the dream fragments, and the scene before his eyes made his pupils contract sharply, his mind immersed in it.

This was a scene filled with suppression and despair.

Before him was a dimly lit study, with only a single dim yellow desk lamp on. Old Master Xu sat withered behind a large desk, tightly clutching an old photo of his two sons, silent.

At this moment, the door behind him was knocked open, and footsteps approached, stopping three meters away from him.

Old Master Xu did not turn around or speak. The voice behind him calmly said, ”Master, it has been investigated.”

Hearing this, Old Master Xu’s body trembled almost imperceptibly, but he did not turn around. His voice was dry and hoarse: ”...Tell me, who is it?”

The voice hesitated for a moment, then said with a complex tone: ”We used all our connections, tracing along the sources of funds, personnel, and details... Ultimately, all clues, without exception, pointed to... the second young master, Xu Jianfang.”

Old Master Xu still made no movement, but his breathing instantly became heavy and rapid. He closed his eyes in pain.

Although he had long suspected it, when the cold evidence and conclusion were laid before him, he still found it difficult to bear.

Fratricide... ”That mistress was the second young master’s person from beginning to end. Through the detailed information provided by the second young master about the eldest young master’s preferences and itinerary, she had the opportunity to approach and win the eldest young master’s trust and affection.”

”This relationship lasted for seven or eight years... During this period, she had been using a very special synthetic drug, difficult to be detected by conventional means, through long-term micro-ingestion, gradually inducing and aggravating cardiac load...”

Lu Feng’s eyes narrowed, his heart shaken. Indeed... there was a third truth!

And this... was probably the ultimate truth!

”The eldest young master’s physical foundation was weak from a young age... This chronic poison, ultimately...” The rest of the words did not need to be said.

Old Master Xu tremblingly picked up the investigation report, looking at the lines and columns on it, finally settling on the name of his second son.

This name shattered his spirit.

”That mistress immigrated not long after the eldest young master passed away, and now... is nowhere to be found. We suspect she may have already...”

Old Master Xu clenched his fists, painstakingly tore up the report, then grabbed the rosewood cane beside him and furiously smashed it against the desk and the floor, making dull and desperate thuds.

”Master, you must take care of yourself,” the voice behind him advised.

After venting, Old Master Xu felt as if all his strength had been drained, covering his face in immense pain, his voice as faint as a mosquito’s, filled with endless sorrow and despair: ”I only have one son left... My eldest son is gone. If... if I send my second son to prison, the Xu Family... the Xu Family will truly be finished... ruined...”

The atmosphere in the room was as oppressive as hell.

After a long while, Old Master Xu raised his head again, his face numb and ashen, his voice devoid of any emotion, terrifyingly cold.

”For the family’s reputation, for the stability of the group’s stock price... This matter ends here. Go and use all resources to change Hanlin’s place of death... to the city center hospital, and the cause of death... to acute myocardial infarction. All informed personnel, silence.”

The person behind him was silent for a moment, then whispered, ”Yes.”

As the study door gently closed, the room fell into a dim silence once more.

Old Master Xu picked up the photo again, his gaze on the smiling young faces of his two sons in the picture, gradually blurring... When Lu Feng returned to the auction site, his mood was still somewhat heavy. He had always heard that wealthy families were as deep as the sea, with endless internal strife, but he had never so directly experienced the cruelty and coldness within.

In the face of immense power and wealth, blood relations and family affection could be so easily trampled and sacrificed.

He took a deep breath, his gaze becoming firm, and walked directly to Xu Ting’s seat in the front row, naturally sitting in the empty seat that originally belonged to Su Wenxi.
