Chapter 1373 Father-Daughter Affection
Chapter 1373 Father-Daughter Affection
The rain was drizzling.
Heavy rain, like a waterfall.
Before reaching the end of his life, Mingqi's life flashed by in a dazzling display, like a revolving lantern.
The dullness of the first half of my life is not worth mentioning; I was always doing shady jobs, the kind of work that everyone could spit on like a rat in the gutter.
Until he met Lu Mingzhu.
Five years later, he met Nian Nian.
Like two beams of light, they severed the darkness in his life.
Before receiving the news that Lu Mingzhu had been taken to the villa by Ming Jinyan, Ming Qi was playing with Niannian at the amusement park.
Most of the visitors here are parents with their children, and a few schools have also chosen this location for their study tours today.
"Uncle! Have you ever been on a pirate ship?"
The time spent waiting in line flew by, and it was soon Mingqi and Niannian's turn.
Nian Nian's big eyes sparkled, filled with curiosity and longing.
Mingqi smiled: "I've never ridden in one like this before."
This was even his first time visiting an amusement park.
"But I've been on a cruise ship at sea... One day we encountered a storm. The sea was very dark, and the whole ship was bobbing up and down with the waves. Sometimes it was very high, and sometimes it was too low, as if we were about to be swept into the waves."
Mingqi's voice was deep, and he told the story in a gentle and detailed manner.
Niannian listened intently, urging Mingqi, "Uncle, is it fun at sea? Are you a crew member? Or are you the captain? What are you going to do?"
Ming Qi laughed. He couldn't quite remember what he had done for Ming Jinyan that year, but he did know about the perilous night when he crossed the ocean.
"It's not very fun. When you grow up and go out, you must be careful."
Mingqi ruffled Nian Nian's soft hair: "For example, back then, we encountered an attack by a giant octopus in the dark of night."
Niannian: "Wow!"
It just so happened that it was their turn in line.
The staff asked them to go up together. Mingqi held Niannian's hand, and Niannian's big, bright eyes were full of fantasies about the story.
She held Mingqi's hand tightly: "Uncle, please continue telling me! How is the octopus?"
Mingqi: "Its suction cups stuck to our boat and wouldn't go down. I guess it was probably scared by the storm at sea."
"It wanted to get on the ship, but the people on board were terrified because, according to legend, octopuses are very evil and highly intelligent creatures."
Niannian listened, completely absorbed.
Mingqi bent down and fastened Niannian's seatbelt and other safety equipment.
Niannian: "Uncle, was it you who chased away the octopus?"
Mingqi laughed: "It doesn't count as driving them away. Octopuses are very afraid of salt."
"So we mixed sea salt with water and splashed it on its tentacles, and it left on its own."
Niannian was so excited: "Wow!"
She said, "Uncle, you're amazing! You're a great hero!"
Mingqi looked into her adoring eyes and suddenly smiled.
The pirate ship set sail.
Nian Nian is precocious despite her young age; she loves thrilling activities but is also afraid of them.
Right from the start, it immediately started screaming and yelling like the other children, terrified.
Mingqi held Niannian's hand tightly.
He wasn't afraid; his gentle, doting gaze lingered on Nian Nian, filled with reluctance.
Thinking of it, thinking of it...
His only daughter.
The only person in the world who is related to him by blood.
This stolen day was destined to be short-lived.
Mingqi knew that Lu Shenxing and Song Mingyi would find their way here sooner or later.
He just needs to stall for enough events before Ming Jinyan takes action.
He carried the exhausted Niannian to ride the carousel.
I carried Niannian up to the third floor to go down the slide to the first floor.
Because of a certain lazy person, I get tired after walking just a few steps.
You can't really blame her; children's physical strength is much weaker than adults'.
Mingqi also kept thinking about it.
After all, if we don't spoil them now, there'll be no other way later.
Niannian was tired of playing, but she still clung to Mingqi.
She was so sleepy that, in her drowsy state, she clung to Mingqi's arm and said in a childish voice, "Uncle... I wish you were my daddy."
"My mommy doesn't have a boyfriend yet..."
She rubbed her eyes, feeling very sleepy: "Uncle... my eyelids are so heavy... I can't see you very well... Uncle, remember to pursue my mommy, okay..."
The voice gets quieter and quieter.
By the time I finished speaking, Niannian had already fallen asleep.
Her quiet little face was fair and tender, and extremely cute.
Mingqi gently held Niannian and placed a soft kiss on her cheek.
"Good night, baby."
He looked at Niannian with lingering affection and reluctance.
He carried her and took her to Lu Shenxing and Song Mingyi.
Only after watching her being picked up by Lu Shenxing's men did Mingqi turn and leave.
He was holding that small apple hair clip.
This is the only thing that belongs to him, something related to Nian Nian.
He carried a gun and went to the villa.
The rain was still falling, and it was getting heavier.
Until the very end of death.
Looking at the forged suicide note he had made, Mingqi suddenly realized that it wasn't entirely wrong.
He did stand against Ming Jinyan for the sake of his family, but this family included both Nian Nian and Lu Mingzhu.
He sat down under the bed where Ming Jinyan was.
shot.
End.
……
Song Mingyi and Lu Shenxing picked up Lu Mingzhu.
Lu Mingzhu was soaked by the heavy rain, and the bloodstains on her clothes underneath gradually seeped in.
"Are you hurt?"
Lu Shenxing draped a dry towel over Lu Mingzhu's body, his face grim, and asked nervously.
Lu Mingzhu shook her head, looked down at her clothes stained red, and gave a bitter smile: "It's not my blood... it's... Ming Jinyan's."
She couldn't help but throw herself into Song Mingyi's arms: "Sister-in-law, he's dead. I shot him..."
Song Mingyi patted Lu Mingzhu's back reassuringly: "It's okay, you have us...we won't let anything happen to you. Don't be so impulsive next time, risking your life all by yourself."
"sister in law……"
Lu Mingzhu burst into tears.
Before today, she never imagined she would kill someone.
Murder in the true sense of the word.
Song Mingyi gave Lu Shenxing a look, and Lu Shenxing immediately went to get the psychologist who had been prepared.
People like Lu Mingzhu, who have suffered severe trauma and stress, cannot sleep for twelve hours. It is best to seek psychological counseling from a professional psychologist before they can fall asleep.
Otherwise, this could very well become a form of trauma.
The psychologist came over and took Lu Mingzhu from her: "Ms. Lu, let's sit down on the sofa together first. Go take a shower first so you don't catch a cold. The kitchen has already made ginger tea for you. Would you like some now?"
Song Mingyi sat down next to Lu Mingzhu.
After calming Lu Mingzhu down for a while, Song Mingyi sighed, handed Lu Mingzhu over to the psychologist, and then walked towards Lu Shenxing.
Lu Shenxing's expression was somewhat solemn.
"The police's conclusion is that Mingqi and Mingjinyan killed each other, and Mingqi killed Mingjinyan to avenge her death. That's the end of the matter."
After Lu Shenxing finished speaking, Song Mingyi's gaze paused.
Song Mingyi: "Mingqi covered all these things up for her?"
Lu Shenxing: "Yes. Their bodies have already been dissected."
Song Mingyi: "...Were there any other traces of Mingzhu found at the scene?"
Lu Shenxing: "The police don't plan to pursue this matter. It would be too troublesome and would only worsen relations between the two countries."
