Chapter 161: with translation of chapter title

After leaving the project team, Lu Chen also bid farewell to his mentor, returned to Haishi, and once again became the person in charge of LC Technology.

The Lu Clan Group was completely forgotten, while LC Technology, thanks to Lu Chen, saw its fame greatly increase.

Various partners and investors came forward one after another, wanting to cooperate with LC Technology and get a share of the profits.

Like his adoptive parents, Lu Chen was not enthusiastic about making money.

One month after the Human Face Case ended, Lu Chen went to Xie Wantang's door.

He carried a durian, and Xie Wantang thought he had come again to apologize and kneel; Little Qianqian welcomed her father inside.

Xie Wantang made him a cup of coffee.

Autumn had arrived, and Dongdong was already a first-grade elementary school student.

He knew that Yan Xiu, that is Lu Yanze, was the murderer who killed his mother; after the real culprit died, Dongdong locked himself in a room for a day and cried all day.

Afterward, he said he would study hard and, like Uncle Shen, become a criminal investigator to catch every bad person in the world.

Little Orange and Little Qianqian were also children in the kindergarten's junior class.

At their third birthday banquet, Lu Chen and Shen Ye were in Sijiucheng wits and bravery against Lu Yanze's faction, so no one could return to Haishi to attend the dragon and phoenix twins' third birthday banquet.

However, for the two little ones, not having their father attend was a bit regrettable, but having their grandparents and three handsome uncles nearby was also nice.

"Did Little Qianqian not go to school?" Lu Chen asked while taking the coffee.

"Little Qianqian and Little Orange aren't in the same class; Little Orange is in the regular junior class, while Little Qianqian is in the art class. Today the art teacher had something come up and took leave, so Little Qianqian is resting at home."

Xie Wantang explained it very clearly.

"Oh, I see."

"Daddy, I want to use drawing to help you catch bad guys when I grow up," Little Qianqian also declared her ambition.

"Good." Lu Chen patted Little Qianqian's little head.

"Team Leader Lu, oh, I forgot the project team disbanded; Team Leader Lu is no longer the team leader but General Manager Lu. What does General Manager Lu want with me today?"

Lu Chen signaled to Butler He to take Little Qianqian away, as what he was about to say was not suitable for children to hear.

Seeing that Xie Wantang had no objection, Butler He came over and coaxed Little Qianqian away.

Although Little Qianqian was unwilling, she was still willing to give her parents some alone time in order for the family to reunite as soon as possible.

"Yan Xiu's subordinates confessed that Yanshen was tortured to death by Yan Xiu; that guy is a pervert who locked Yanshen up, drew his blood and cells, and made his own body stronger."

"Yanshen was made into a dried corpse alive by him."

"…… "

Xie Wantang listened with her heart pounding; indeed, these words were not suitable for children, really too bloody.

Actually, there was no need to be so specific.

Xie Wantang even felt as if she could see the scene.

"Xia Meng's wish is to be buried together with Yanshen. This is the only underwater audio I found related to Yanshen's imprisonment. Xie Wantang, could you try listening to it and tell me which sea area it's from? I want to apply for a salvage operation."

"…… "

Others are looking for a needle in the ocean, but Lu Chen is looking for a dried corpse in the ocean?

Xie Wantang could also understand that.

Taking the audio, she said, "I'll give it a try."

Xie Wantang agreed and did not refuse.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Actually, it was also for Xia Meng; Xia Meng's wish was simply to find Lu Yanshen, whether alive or dead.

Even if Lu Yanshen had been turned into a dried corpse by Lu Yanze, Xia Meng would surely not despise it and would wish to be buried in the same grave with him.

Alive sharing a blanket, dead sharing a grave.

Although they did not share a blanket in life, in death they must share a grave.

Xia Meng's life was also pitiful, having been threatened by Lu Yanze with a corpse for so long.

Now she is finally free.

Xie Wantang worked late into the night for two evenings, analyzing for Lu Chen and identifying two sea areas, one of which is very close to Lu Chen's training base.

Both are overseas, not domestic.

Lu Chen applied for salvage, spent a huge sum to hire three salvage teams, and after three months finally brought Lu Yanshen up from the seabed; moreover, there were more than just Lu Yanshen's remains down there.

The local residents were panicked and uneasy, demanding an explanation from the government.

Lu Chen then spent another month there handling paperwork, bringing Lu Yanshen back domestically and burying him beside Xia Meng.

They found a quieter cemetery for Xia Meng and Lu Yanshen.

Lu Yanshen is Dongdong's biological father; Lu Yanshen had actually discovered early on that Lu Yanze was acting suspiciously and knew his secret, which is why Lu Yanze and the people behind him killed him.

When Lu Yanshen and Xia Meng traveled abroad, they met a kind doctor in a hidden small town who froze Lu Yanshen's sperm and also froze Xia Meng's eggs.

Not long after that trip ended, Lu Yanze struck and Lu Yanshen disappeared.

Originally, Lu Yanze planned to use his men to impersonate Lu Yanshen, but Lu Chen's sudden appearance, posing as Lu Yanshen, caught them all off guard.

Thus, under Lu Yanze's coercion, Xia Meng abandoned the lame Lu Yanshen and went abroad.

During that period, Xia Meng fooled around every day, making Lu Yanze's informants think she was carrying someone else's child; in fact, she had undergone in‑vitro fertilization and succeeded.

Now, the whole truth has finally come to light.

The sky, at last, turned blue.

As they left the cemetery, Lu Chen reached to take Xie Wantang's hand, but she avoided him.

Lu Chen: "Xie Wantang, I will no longer hide anything from you."

Xie Wantang nodded: "Mm, this time you are completely candid; you have many reasons, as they say, you deserve forgiveness, after all, the things you did were not intentional and were also for my own good."

"But, Lu Chen, I am a relatively rational woman, but I also have a woman's sensibility. You never seriously pursued me, and just because I have already borne you a pair of children, do I have to wait here for you?"

""

Lu Chen understood.

Xie Wantang meant that she needed to be pursued by him.

Indeed, they've known each other for many years, they've been married once, and even had two children, but as a man, he really hasn't seriously pursued Xie Wantang.

"I understand. From today on, I will court you properly." Lu Chen's eyes were filled with deep emotion.

""

Faced with Lu Chen's deep affection, Xie Wantang's face uncontrollably turned red.

Her heart also thumped wildly.

"Even so, Xie Wantang still loudly said, 'President Lu, pursuing someone isn't just about words.'"

"I know, it's about actions; just wait and see my actions."

""

"To demonstrate my sincerity, I will be honest with you about one more thing."

"What?" Xie Wantang's curiosity was easily aroused by Lu Chen.

"Your idol King is not dead."

"... What?"

Lu Chen didn't answer and turned to leave.

Xie Wantang froze for a moment, lifted her leg and chased after him, "Lu Chen, stop right there!"

"..."
