Chapter 226: The Lou Family’s Mingshen, Disturbing Her Resting Place
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
There was a momentary silence in the air.
The wind blew, but it couldn’t disperse the chilling aura surrounding the man: “Don’t think I don’t know why you’re here.”
Ming Yu didn’t feel a shred of guilt, his eyes looking straight ahead.
“In the past, you hid your whereabouts well, and I couldn’t catch you. Today, I finally did.”
“So what? What do you plan to do?” Lou Mingshen circled around to the back, patting his wheelchair, his tone laced with sarcasm. “Professor Ming is now a key protected individual of the state, a national treasure-level research scholar. Even if I had a hundred times more courage, I wouldn’t dare to do anything to you, right?”
“Ming Shen…”
“I’ve told you to change the way you address me. Is Ming Shen the name you gave me?!” He couldn’t contain his anger, slapping the wheelchair with a loud bang.
A loud noise rang out.
The two assistants’ faces turned pale—
“How dare you!”
“You’re outrageous!”
But Ming Yu remained calm, not even furrowing his brows, his eyes full of tolerance and a hint of helplessness.
He said, “It’s been twenty years, and your temper is still the same as before. Everything has changed, but you’re still the same as ever…”
“No, I haven’t been myself since the moment she left twenty years ago.” Sadness welled up in the man’s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by layers of darkness and bitterness.
“Ming Yu, I warn you, don’t come to disturb my sister anymore. If she were still alive, the last person she would want to see is you!”
“Ming Shen!” He finally showed signs of anger.
“What, hit a nerve, did I?”
Ming Yu’s expression turned cold, his hands on his knees unconsciously tightening. “You’re not her. You have no right to say such things.”
“Heh, whether she wants to see you or not, don’t you know in your heart? Do you scientists first learn self-deception and shamelessness?”
Ming Yu’s figure swayed.
From the assistant’s perspective, they could see his tense shoulders, the restrained force, his cheeks gradually stiffening from clenching his teeth.
He still appeared calm, composed, and peaceful, but the details betrayed his panic, confusion, and grief.
This Professor Ming was unlike any they had ever seen before.
In their impression, he was so strong, gentle, and calm, like a mountain that would never collapse, like a sea that would never dry up.
But now, because of that person’s question, he seemed as fragile as porcelain, easily shattered.
The assistant’s eyes reddened. How could the person he respected the most endure such insults and grievances?
“That’s enough! Stop provoking the professor!”
But Lou Mingshen didn’t even spare a glance, his sharp gaze piercing Ming Yu. “Don’t test my patience. If I catch you at the rose garden again next time…”
Ming Yu’s eyebrows furrowed sharply. “What will you do?”
“I’ll make sure you never find her!”
“You dare—”
Lou Mingshen sneered, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes. “Do you think I dare?!”
“She’s your older sister. Do you dare disturb her resting place?!”
“Lou Mingshen, you’ve gone mad.” Ming Yu shook his head, incredulous.
The man burst into laughter, his skin under the moonlight pale and cold, his brows and eyes exuding a chilling fierceness, “You people are all unnecessary! You all deserve to die! What’s the point of pretending now? She’s not yours—she wasn’t before, she isn’t now, and she won’t be in the future.”
“What about you, Lou Mingshen?” A bottomless abyss hid in the man’s gray-blue pupils, deep and cold. “Aren’t you unnecessary? Don’t you deserve to die? How did your sister treat you back then, and how did you repay her…”
“I don’t need you to remind me. Between her and me, outsiders have no right to interfere!”
“Ming Shen,” his tone softened slightly, “take care of yourself. Don’t do anything that will make it difficult for everyone. If you dare disturb Ming Yue’s resting place, not just me, they won’t let you off either. Zhong Hao—”
“Here, professor.”
“Let’s go back.”
This time, the people Lou Mingshen brought didn’t stop them.
Ming Yu and the two assistants got into the car and left.
The night wind was cold, chilling to the bone when it blew on the face.
“Mr. Lou…” a bodyguard stepped forward, hesitating.
Lou Mingshen stood still, his voice cold, “You guys go first, leave a car.”
“Yes.”
Soon, the black car drove away, leaving only one parked by the roadside.
Lou Mingshen stepped into the cemetery gate, looking up at the ascending stairs, a hint of fear and timidity creeping in.
It had been twenty years. Ming Yu could still come to see her three times a year, but he didn’t even have the courage to set foot here.
He could only park the car at the entrance of the cemetery, shrouded in the darkness of the night, and looked into the distance toward the northeast.
They said her grave was in that direction.
The sun rises in the east, and there are clouds in the north.
The scenery must be beautiful.
Today, he finally mustered the courage to step through the gate, but he couldn’t take a single step closer to her.
What about you, Lou Mingshen? Aren’t you unnecessary? Don’t you deserve to die? How did your sister treat you back then, and how did you repay her…
Ming Yu’s words echoed in his mind repeatedly.
He was guilty, how could he be truly innocent?
Lou Mingshen bent his knees and knelt on the steps, gazing at the crescent moon in the sky, laughing as his whole body trembled, “Haha…”
