Desperate Pretense At Being Poor

note.

“Lu Kechen’s father called me today and told me that Qin Wan very likely had committed suicide back then and her relationship with Lu Kechen should be quite deep.”

“After Xu Binrui’s group of friends took photos of Qin Wan, they had been threatening her to humiliate her but Lu Kechen never mentioned anything about it.”

Fu Zhihuan nodded and reached out to take the note from Wen Ruan.  After reading it, he frowned.

According to the investigation, Xu Binrui’s parents’ business was getting worse and worse during this period.  However, Xu Binrui extravagantly bought an extremely expensive motorcycle not long ago.

“”

Judging from the timing, the money was most likely obtained from extortions.

The police estimated that a month ago Xu Binrui had used the photos of Qin Wan to extort money from Qin Biyang.

But Qin Biyang stated that he had never seen the two of them for many years.

Fu Zhihuan had a lot of secret information that could not be revealed to Wen Ruan but when he saw the piece of paper, he could vaguely guess Lu Kechen’s intentions.

She wanted to explain further.  “This matter…….”

“I know.”

He suddenly interrupted her.  “Wen Ruan, we will handle everything from here on.  You can go to the café outside and wait for me.”

Wen Ruan was slightly startled.

She could see that Fu Zhihuan did not want her to be involved in this matter.

Although she did not know the reason, she still nodded with her eyes lowered.

Since the matter had developed to this stage, there was no way to undo it.  If the matter was handed over to the police, perhaps it could be solved even more quickly.

A police officer who had once interacted with Wen Ruan came over and said politely.

“Miss Wen, let my colleagues handle this matter.  Let’s go outside and talk about what you understand about this case so that it will be easier for us to conduct the investigation, is that alright?”

Wen Ruan nodded then turned around and both of them walked out side by side.

At this moment, the bell had rung and the corridor was empty.  Only the footsteps of the two people could be heard.

Many students were curiously leaning on the windows or standing at the door as they watched the people approaching.

Lu Kechen seems to have the intention to make this matter a major issue.

Initially, Wen Ruan did not know why he did this but now, she could vaguely guess something.

Back then Qin Wan wanted to use her death to exchange for the school’s attention to be focused on school violence.

Lu Kechen is the same.

He wanted to put on a dynamic performance to push public opinion to the peak.

Wait a minute!…….

Wen Ruan paused in her footsteps.

If Lu Kechen wants this matter to become a major issue known to everyone, then he will definitely create a huge uproar over Xu Binrui’s death.

So……..

Suddenly Wen Ruan said.

“I want to go up to the rooftop to have a look.  Perhaps Lu Kechen is there.”

***☆☆☆***

The sky had turned cloudy.

When Qin Wan fell into the water, did she feel fearful?

Lu Kechen looked down from the rooftop and everything around seemed to have become a dot.

Xu Binrui did not have the dagger with him.

Because a long time ago, to ensure that his plan would be foolproof, Lu Kechen had stolen the dagger and kept it with him.

He used the sharp blade to slash Xu Binrui’s palms and shoulders and the blood seeped out to drip on the ground drop by drop.

Then he stretched out his hand and pressed down on Xu Binrui’s body.  Ignoring the painful cries begging for mercy from the person in front of him, Lu Kechen pressed the blade’s sharp point against his abdomen.

The heart-piercing cries penetrated Lu Kechen’s eardrums.

There was no trace of anger in his eyes and he only said in a very calm voice.

“Apologize to her.”

*Boom*

At this moment, the door of the rooftop was suddenly slammed open.

A group of people rushed in…….the uniformed police officers, an anxious teacher, and the lawyer sister who had never given up on him…….

Lu Kechen’s eyes shifted sideways slightly but there were no emotions in his eyes as though everything was within his expectation.

However, Xu Binrui seemed to have seen his savior and his face showed happiness.

“Help me!  This man has gone crazy!  Quickly arrest him!”

“Lu Kechen!”

Wen Ruan tried hard to suppress the trembling in her voice and said very seriously word by word.

“If you do it now, it can’t be judged as self-defense or unintentional homicide.”

Lu Kechen laughed.  “Um, I know……”

The police officers exchanged winks and then walked behind secretively and approached slowly.  At the same time, they gestured to Wen Ruan to continue persuading Lu Kechen to distract his attention.

“School violence can be prosecuted.   Whether it is intentional harm, illegal filming of other people or blackmailing……..all these are crimes that can be tried…….”

“It’s not necessary to do this.  I can defend you, can apply for a sentence reduction, and also can make those who hurt you get the punishment they deserve.”

Wen Ruan took a deep breath but for some unknown reason, her voice choked.

“So, will you trust me?  The law can do more than you think.”

Lu Kechen looked up at Wen Ruan but did not speak.

He could keenly sense that the police officers were all around him, quietly approaching him and waiting for an opportunity to seize the dagger in his hand.

But at this moment, Lu Kechen’s mood was extremely calm.

If Qin Wan was here, she would definitely want to hear these words and then cheerfully say……

“See?  It will be better tomorrow!”

No one doesn’t want to enjoy the blue sky above them……..feel the breeze blowing over from the mountains…….and the arrival of Spring…….

“The person who died would hope that you live well.”

To Lu Kechen, this sentence is not a touching inspiration.

He was initially not a positive person.

He has been learning how to be kind to everyone but never learned how to forgive those who had hurt him.

“Sorry.”  He said.

He turned his head and thrust the dagger in with his wrist.

He pulled it out and stabbed it in again.

It was not known how many times it went in.  The blood splattered on his clean shirt and the shocking red color was piercing to the eyes.

Xu Binrui’s cries were heart-wrenching until gradually he became silent.

Wen Ruan’s eyes instantly turned red and the female teacher’s screams sounded in her ears.

The sky seemed to have changed instantly and was covered with dense dark clouds.

The police officers rushed up but Lu Kechen pushed Xu Binrui forward to lean against the roof railing.

“Gu Chencheng was pushed into the water by me.”

After he finished speaking, he lifted his eyes to look at Wen Ruan and then suddenly laughed.

“Lawyer Sister, this time I’m not committing unintentional homicide.”

Then he closed his eyes and fell backward.

Wen Ruan’s pupils constricted and her body reacted first.  She rushed forward and reached out to grab Lu Kechen’s arm but it was only emptiness…….

Due to inertia, she staggered forward a few steps.

Fu Zhihuan quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

“Wen Ruan!”

Immediately after, a loud thud sounded.

Instantly, countless students stretched out their heads to look in the direction of the sound, then screams followed and an uproar erupted.

The lights and shadows interlaced in that instant.  The shocking red color spread and became the final curtain of the story.

In the end, Lu Kechen used his death to put the limelight on the prelude……..
