Chapter 146:Preparing A Surprise (1)

Su Qiuzi stood in the doorway for a long while, she calmly looked at Luo Fan, not seeing him for a few years, his impression in her mind became shallow and absent, a face that was obviously familiar, but meeting again after this all really felt strange.

“My mother’s matter has nothing to do with me.” Su Qiuzi remembered what He Yu said, and she repeated it to Luo Fan.

As the flame of the cigarette between his fingers went on, Luo Fan tapped the tip of his finger and said, “I know.” After saying that, there was a long silence between them. Su Qiuzi had nothing to say, but when the cigarette on Luo Fan’s hand burned to his fingertips, his eyes darted, telling Su Qiuzi, “I took the military academy and became a detective, just to investigate this matter.”

“Yeah.” Su Qiuzi echoed, she pondered for a long time and said to Luo Fan, “Basically this is the only proper way to handle this matter maturely. But it is useless, all your previous attempts at revenge against me are imprinted in my mind and cannot be shaken off, therefore I don’t want to cross paths with you anymore.”

Luo Fan listened quietly, his tall figure appeared to be lonely in the shadow of the lamp, his dark eyes like those of a sail raised on a moonlit night. His eyelashes blinked slightly, casting a half circle of dark shadows beneath his eyelids, before he said, “I traced the home of the driver of the big truck that was involved in the accident back then, in Qiao City. At that time, his home was completely demolished, but the government compensated him with a portion of the money. However, they received far more than the compensation. It might be a criminal case, I’m still looking into it, I’ll let you know when I investigate it thoroughly.”

After saying that, Luo Fan turned around and walked away.

He wasn’t a man who would hold back, neither was Su Qiuzi, she didn’t ask any further questions and didn’t say much, she got up and went back to her booth. When she went back, Old Meng saw her come in and blurted out, “That new transfer, Luo Fan, used to be from Xia City’s First High School, he seems to be on the same grade as you, but he’s two years older in age.”

“Yeah.” Su Qiuzi answered, clearly devoid of interest.

When Li Fa heard Lao Meng finish, he laughed and said, “Qiuzi is married already, yet you haven’t given up on matchmaking for her.”

“That’s not it.” When Luo Fan left the table without a clue of what he was doing, Old Meng overheard someone from the Criminal Police Squad say a few things about him. But he was not good at divulging things to the public, so he only sighed, “This kid’s life is kinda bitter too.”

What Lao Meng heard was that Luo Fan’s father was a personal driver who cheated on his wife with the wife of the leader he worked for and subsequently eloped, only to be run over by a big truck and killed. Luo Fan’s mother was handicapped and could only rely on her meager income to support Luo Fan, who was old enough to go to school, but couldn’t. After two years of procrastination and hopelessness, her mother committed suicide by jumping off a building with Luo Fan in her arms. But before leaping off, she regretted it and pushed Luo Fan back and jumped off herself. He saw his mother jump to her death with his own eyes, but was later adopted before enrolling in school to study.

Usually when hearing such words with an underlying story, Xu Si ru, out of professional sensitivity, tended to get to the bottom of it. Each time, Lao Meng couldn’t help but be asked by her three or four times and would tell her accordingly. But this time, Lao Meng endured.
