Chapter 57: Fifty-six, Who’s Behind

Chapter 57: Fifty-six, Who’s Behind

“Who gave the order to kill Xiao Hu?!” Lu Hanmo scanned the crowd with a cold gaze, his eyes like glaciers that had never thawed, sending chills deep into everyone’s hearts.

Qin Yue bit her lip, then spoke, “It was an order I gave.” She had only just received this order upon returning, and truth be told, she was also perplexed.

“Why?” Lu Hanmo’s gaze turned towards Qin Yue as he asked coldly. She hadn’t even found the evidence of Xiao Hu’s guilt, so why the rush to kill him? Could it be that the people behind Xiao Hu were related to the Qin Family?

“It’s a command from the higher-ups, I’m simply carrying out orders,” said Qin Yue indifferently. At this moment, her heart still held some anger towards Lu Hanmo, for he had not chosen her back then but had instead chosen an irrelevant girl. Was that girl really that important to him?

Lu Hanmo’s expression softened slightly, “Who gave the order?” He was determined to find the person who issued the order. Even if that person wasn’t the one behind Xiao Hu, they must be connected to him in some way.

“Lu Hanmo, what do you mean by this? Are you doubting my words? You treated me like that before, and I haven’t even questioned you about it!” Qin Yue looked at Lu Hanmo with displeasure. Lu Hanmo was just an instructor, and although he was backed by a powerful family, in this matter, all he needed to do was assist them, and they would take care of the rest.

“I was wrong before, and I apologize to you. Right now, all I want to know is who gave the order,” Lu Hanmo knew that Qin Yue must be upset about the past, but if he had to choose again, he would still choose Shushu.

In his past life, he had already missed his chance with Shushu, and in this life, he didn’t want to have any regrets again. Moreover, without Shushu’s help, the mission wouldn’t have been completed so smoothly, nor would they have found the evidence of Xiao Hu’s crimes.

“When you get back, you can ask for yourself. Let’s go!” Qin Yue said and then coldly glared at Luo Shu to the side before leaving with her subordinates. Did Lu Hanmo choose Luo Shu because he liked her? But that was impossible. There were so many outstanding girls at the base who liked Lu Hanmo, yet he was always cold to everyone. How could he possibly fall for a girl he had just met?

Lu Hanmo withdrew his gaze and looked towards Xiao Hu, who was already dead, his eyes filled with unfathomable coldness.

Luo Shu reached out to hold Lu Hanmo’s hand, offering him silent comfort. She knew he must be suffering inside; being betrayed by one’s own people was something no one could accept.

Lu Hanmo looked at Luo Shu, smiled and shook his head, a flicker of worry passing quickly through his eyes, “I’m okay!” He had just been thinking about the explosion in his previous life; maybe it was also orchestrated by the person behind Xiao Hu. But regardless, he must find out who it was as soon as possible, he couldn’t let Shushu be in danger again.

“Brother Lu, are you going back to the base now? When will you return to Cloud City?” Luo Shu asked. Now that things here had concluded, it was time for her to return. She had left a note when she left, but her family was certainly not at ease. Yet, she couldn’t bear to part with Lu Hanmo so soon.

“I’ll go back to Cloud City the day after tomorrow. Wait for me, I’ll accompany you back,” Lu Hanmo said. He couldn’t rest easy with her going back alone. However, at the moment, he couldn’t leave yet; he had to take care of Wei Qi’s organization swiftly. Though he was not a Guard member, since he had taken on the mission, he had to complete it well.

Luo Shu’s face lit up with a happy smile and she nodded, “Great! But first, I need to make a phone call home.”

Lu Hanmo reached out, his long fingers playfully tapping Luo Shu’s cute nose, “Now you realize your family worries about you. You really are bold, but don’t make it a habit, or you’ll face family discipline.”

“I’m not scared at all!” Luo Shu stuck out her tongue playfully at Lu Hanmo, laughing as she ran towards a nearby telephone. Aunt Chen’s house didn’t have a phone, but her godmother’s house did.

Zhao Aishu absentmindedly flipped through a book, her gaze darting now and then to the telephone not far away. She had received no news from Luo Shu for several days, and was almost driven mad with worry, urging Xu Feng every day to send people to look for her. How could she let anything happen to the goddaughter she had finally recognized?

Just then, the telephone rang. Zhao Aishu hastily put aside the book and pushed her wheelchair toward it. Although Luo Shu had cured her legs, she still couldn’t walk normally without someone to assist her.

“Madam, let me push you.” The nanny, wiping her hands, came out of the kitchen and, seeing Zhao Aishu trying to answer the phone, quickly came over and pushed her to the telephone. These past few days, as soon as the madam heard the phone ring, she would hurry to answer it, fearing she would miss any news from Luo Shu.

Picking up the phone, Zhao Aishu didn’t even ask who it was and immediately asked, “Old Xu, do you have news about Luo Shu?”

Hearing Zhao Aishu’s words, Luo Shu was instantly moved, “Godmother, it’s Luo Shu.”

“Luo Shu, child, where are you now? I’ve been so anxious, are you alright?” Zhao Aishu asked excitedly. That was wonderful; finally, there was news about Luo Shu.

“Godmother, I am now in Yunnan Province. I’m safe now, and I’ll be back in a couple of days. Could you please ask godfather to let my family know?” Although she had recognized Zhao Aishu as her godmother, the concern Zhao Aishu showed surprised her.

Hearing this, Zhao Aishu instantly breathed a sigh of relief, “As long as you are safe! What happened to those people who captured you?”

“They have all been arrested.” Luo Shu gave a brief account of what had happened to Zhao Aishu, “Godmother, in a couple of days Brother Lu will take me back. You don’t need to worry.”

“Good! Luo Shu, let me tell you some good news. Your godmother can now stand with someone’s help for ten minutes. By the time you return, I might be able to stand on my own.” Zhao Aishu shared her condition with Luo Shu. These days, because of the worry for Luo Shu, she had no inclination to practice walking. If it wasn’t for Xu Feng’s insistence, she wouldn’t even be able to last five minutes, let alone ten.

“Godmother, keep it up! I believe you will be able to walk freely very soon,” Luo Shu said giggling.

“You child!” Zhao Aishu laughed and shook her head, “Be careful out there, godmother is waiting for you to come back.”

“Hmm! I heard from godfather that the sweet and sour pork godmother makes is very delicious. Once you can walk, you’ll have to make some for me to eat!” Through this phone call, Luo Shu felt even closer to Zhao Aishu.

“You little glutton!” Zhao Aishu teased with a laugh and chatted with Luo Shu a little longer before hanging up.

“Madam, has there been news from Miss Luo Shu?” The nanny came out carrying dishes and asked, seeing the smile on Zhao Aishu’s face.

“Yes! She is safe now.” Zhao Aishu smiled and picked up the phone to call Xu Feng. She told him about the phone call from Luo Shu and also asked him to send someone to visit Aunt Chen’s house to relay the news to Luo Shan and the others.
