"What is it?"
Shen Shuyi looked at Lin Yi, wanting to know what he was going to ask.
"We agreed beforehand, if I ask, you can’t get angry."
"Then you better not ask."
"Mom, you can’t be like this, a son-in-law is like half a son, you can’t be so cold and heartless to ."
Lin Yi stood up with a grin and went behind Shen Shuyi to massage her shoulders.
"Besides, I’m still injured, this will be quite a blow to ."
"Go ahead, what is it."
"Well..."
Lin Yi paused for a mont and tentatively asked:
"The old man still has a son and a daughter, right?"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Shuyi’s expression changed instantly, becoming serious.
"How did you find out about this?"
"Yesterday, when we ca back, the old man drank too much and mumbled sothing in the car, and we both heard it."
"So Mi Li told you about this, right?"
"She doesn’t know much, just a bit," Lin Yi said:
"Since I’m here today, I wanted to ask you about it."
Shen Shuyi didn’t answer directly but was silent for a long ti, then said:
"Indeed, there is a son and a daughter. Chun Xiao sacrificed during a mission."
"Mission? Couldn’t have involved the Central Guard Brigade, right?"
"Are you that surprised?"
"Mainly because the Central Guard Brigade is not a good place," Lin Yi said:
"If it were , I’d advise against it unless they had that intention themselves."
"You are you, the old man is the old man, there’s a two-generation gap between you. Their generation’s sense of national duty is much heavier than yours," Shen Shuyi said:
"However, Elder Lu’s attitude towards his children was quite open-minded; he didn’t deliberately obstruct their developnt, deciding based on their displayed talents."
"Did this Lu Chunxiao have such talent?"
"Of course."
Shen Shuyi said:
"She even caught your dad’s whereabouts many tis."
"What? She could actually catch him?"
This news surprised Lin Yi.
Dad’s thods are incomparable to ordinary people.
Being able to trace his whereabouts outside requires extraordinary ability and ans.
Even though he was younger back then, his abilities weren’t as strong, finding him was still impressive.
Shen Shuyi nodded and said indifferently:
"These things, I also heard from your mom back then. The intelligence departnt of the Central Guard Brigade, reaching today’s level, owes much to Chun Xiao; she was quite a pioneering figure."
"Then what happened? How did things turn out?"
"It counts as acting rashly."
Shen Shuyi sighed:
"Back then, Elder Lu was already a powerful figure in the Central Guard Brigade, and with Chun Xiao’s ability, she quickly took charge of the intelligence departnt’s work. Both of the most important areas were held by the Lu family, causing others to beco envious."
"Then they used so tricks?"
"With Elder Lu there, their little tricks were nothing, no one could shake them," Shen Shuyi said:
"But Chun Xiao, young and spirited, her personality wasn’t like mine or your mom’s; it was more like a man’s character, not yielding to anyone, and couldn’t stand such rumors."
"To prove her ability, she led a group to perform a very dangerous task but never returned. I don’t know the specifics, Elder Lu never ntioned it, and the old man at ho doesn’t allow us to investigate."
Lin Yi rubbed his chin, this person nad Lu Chunxiao was indeed extraordinary.
The intelligence system of the Central Guard Brigade having today’s scale owes much to her.
If not for acting on impulse, it would be hard to gauge what position she would be in now.
At least she would be on the sa level as Uncle Chuan.
"Yesterday, Mi Li ntioned briefly, if I’m guessing correctly, Elder Lu’s other son should be called Lu Xingyue, right?"
"That’s correct."
"Mom, you seed not to have ntioned this person earlier."
"I can tell you, but rember, this matter is for your knowledge alone, and even if you die, it must stay buried inside."
Uh...
Lin Yi was stunned for a mont, not expecting Shen Shuyi’s deanor to turn so serious when Lu Xingyue was brought up.
"I promise to keep it to myself," Lin Yi said seriously.
"He betrayed."
"What?!?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was surprised for quite a while.
Never imagined it was for this reason.
"Mom, do you know exactly what happened?"
Shen Shuyi got up, picked up a cup of tea, and said:
"Maybe it’s because they’re twins, or maybe because they’re close in age, but the siblings grew up very close. Uncle Chuan is four years older, often not playing together, so the two of them did everything together. Their talents were exceptionally good."
"Comparable to my dad?"
"Not quite that amazing," Shen Shuyi said:
"I don’t understand the dealings here, but they were indeed quite skilled, and your dad and Xingyue had a good relationship. When they fled Jing City, it was Xingyue who helped him escape."
"What happened afterward?"
"Not long after, Chun Xiao t her fate. Though deeply attached as siblings, Elder Lu, considering the bigger picture, chose not to seek revenge, but Xingyue didn’t agree, and soon left."
"Did he take revenge?"
"I don’t know, you should ask your dad."
"Ask him?"
"Your dad left less than two years after, and he too left," Shen Shuyi said:
"I heard your dad made a na for himself back then, and running away, Xingyue only had your dad to turn to, thus there might be hints in what your dad knows."
"How does this relate to betrayal?"
"Because before he left, he arbitrarily stole files from the intelligence departnt, uncovering much about that mission," Shen Shuyi said:
"You should know the serious implications of this matter."
"Without special circumstances, it does indeed qualify as betrayal."
"And that’s not the worst," Shen Shuyi said:
"From that departure, he never returned, nor did he leave any trace. His last appearance was five years after he left."
Lin Yi didn’t speak, waiting for Shen Shuyi to continue.
"On that operation was Liu Hong, who happened to run into him, then a conflict ensued, and one of Liu Hong’s colleagues was killed by him, thus confirming this matter."
"Able to commit such deeds indicates complete severance."
"Because Elder Lu not avenging Chun Xiao beca the catalyst for his betrayal, which led to such consequences."
Shen Shuyi sighed deeply, full of emotion,
"Had these events not occurred, with these three children holding the fort, the Lu family could’ve been secure for a century, without worry."
