"You are the only disciple of Miaoshou Yaoxian, so you should know the most famous research results of Shen Chong back then." Zhu Chun reminded.

"I don't know." Cheng Lu's face turned pale.

"Haha, you are indeed Shen Chong's disciple, you are very smart! I can't trick you even in this way."

Cheng Lu was a little impatient: "You can say whatever you want. What does this matter have to do with my master?"

"On the surface, Zhu Li is the person who controls the entire Zhu family, but in fact, only our family knows that he is just a stepping stone. To put it nicely, he is the big steward of the Zhu family; to put it ugly, he is A dog, a dog that is worse than me."

"How come... Zhu Li doesn't have a say in the Zhu family?"

Zhu Chun looked out the window, his eyes blank: "That's what it seems on the surface. Zhu Li... was adopted by the Zhu family just like me, but he is worse than me. His talent is not worse than mine, but he is He is the only bloodline left from a family that had competing interests with the Zhu family. For the sake of good reputation, the Zhu family adopted him and treated him like their own son, letting him occupy important positions everywhere."

"In the beginning, Zhu Li also felt that he was a member of the Zhu family. Even if he could not be the heir, he was still an important minister. The result? He and Cai Lina were in love for the first time and loved each other deeply. He wanted to marry Cai Lina But there has always been opposition from the family.”

Zhu Chun turned to look at her, "The reason is simple, because they don't dare to let him have anything to do with the Cai family."

Cheng Lu understood.

If Zhu Li has been restrained by the Zhu family, then of course the Zhu family will not be afraid of him.

But if he gets together with Cai Lianna and becomes the son-in-law of the Cai family, things will not be that simple.

No wonder, when she first saw Zhu Li and Cai Lianna in the same frame, she always felt a little weird.

I didn't expect these two people to have such a relationship.

"They were forcibly separated. I'm afraid this will be an eternal pain in my little uncle's heart. It's a pity that my parents still don't take it seriously and feel that they have a chance to win."

Zhu Chun felt a little tired when he said this.

She stopped and breathed lightly for a moment.

"Stop talking, just rest first."

Cheng Lu packed up his things and prepared to leave.

"What I want to tell you is that Zhu Li probably discovered the research left by your master. This research is definitely more valuable than the Zhu family. That's why he desperately created this fire and destroyed the entire Zhu family. , he can be truly free."

Zhu Chun's chest rose slightly: "You saved me and helped me so much. I can't hide it from you either emotionally or rationally."

Her eyes were dark and bright, and her next words were extremely serious, "I suspect that he is not dead, and is still alive in this world like me. Go and check the remains of this fire——"

Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Lu interrupted her, "There are no remains."

"What?"

"During that time, you were unconscious and seriously injured. The Zhu family's affairs have been handled by the police. The Zhu family's collateral relatives have signed and the body has been cremated, but it has not been buried yet."

Zhu Chun was greatly disappointed.

She stared, and then smiled bitterly for a while: "I'm still a step too late..."

"Have a good rest, thank you for telling me this."

After closing the door, Cheng Lu's heart felt heavy.

Everything Zhu Chun said was like a dam exploding in her heart, and a raging wave swept over her, making her unable to calm down for a long time.

Feeling uneasy, she took time out to go to Haofeng Group in the afternoon.

Gu Ci hurried over: "Why are you here suddenly? You didn't tell me in advance so I could let the driver pick you up."

He came from the conference room.

As soon as Cheng Lu entered the group gate just now, the system reported to him.

Gu Ci thought she was in trouble, so he interrupted the senior management's speech and ran away like a gust of wind.

She hugged him tightly and buried her face in his arms.

The man hugged her, comforting her carefully and kissing her hair gently.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

She closed her eyes and her mood finally stabilized: "There are some things, but I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait until you're done——"

"Say it now."

Gu Ci couldn't wait at all.

She opened her mouth and told Gu Ci everything she heard just now.

After finishing speaking, she asked: "Do you have any clues about what you asked Mu Cangcha to do last time?"

"Shen Chong did live in the Snowfield Continent for a period of time, but when Mu Cang's people found him, the residence there was already empty." Gu Ci's tone was difficult, as he didn't want to say it originally.

Or, he didn't want to tell her this in her current state.

"Is he... gone?" Her voice trembled.

"There is a suicide note in that stone house. Judging from the tone, it should be written by Shen Chong himself."

Suicide note! Cheng Lu's heart skipped a beat and his breathing almost became unsteady.

"Where is the suicide note?" she asked impatiently.

Gu Ci gently let go of her and walked to the bookcase on the other side. He opened a mechanism and revealed the safe inside. He took out a kraft paper envelope from the safe and handed it into Cheng Lu's hand.

Just as Cheng Lu was about to take it, Gu Ci's hand tightened again.

"Promise me, no matter what you see, you won't be too excited. Don't forget, you are not alone now. You still have me and the baby in your belly."

He looked at her deeply.

Cheng Lu bit his lower lip and nodded.

After opening the envelope, she sat on the sofa accompanied by Gu Ci.

Rather than saying this is a suicide note, it is better to say it is a diary.

But on the last page of the diary, Shen Chong left a final note of world-weariness.

The diary dates start three years ago.

Shen Chong arrived at the Snowy Continent. Although it was freezing cold, icy and snowy, it was a paradise for some exotic flowers and plants to grow. Shen Chong loved potions, and of course he was full of curiosity about these medicinal materials that had never been seen before.

After reading page after page, Cheng Lu finally saw the last line of words.

——If I can't find it, then what's the point of living in this world? This trip is the final declaration of war! If I can't find it, then let me be buried with it in this snowfield forever.

Shen Chong's last work.

When Cheng Lu saw the last four words, tears burst out of his eyes.

Breathing rapidly and losing control of his emotions, Gu Ci was extremely nervous. Apart from hugging her tightly to comfort her, he could do nothing else, like a helpless child.

"Lulu, Lulu! Don't be sad, you still have us!"

"I will never leave you and will always be with you."

"Don't cry, don't cry..."

He kissed the tears on her face gently but urgently.

After a while, she finally calmed down, wiped her eyes and nose that were red from crying, and was held in his arms and coaxed for a while. Only then did she have the courage to read the previous contents of the diary again.
