Chapter 1509: Chapter 1509: Finale Part 57
Loyal and responsible, can endure humiliation and bear burdens, with a heart that is steadfast and unyielding, not easily shaken by pain and ambition.
After all, facing someone like the Godfather, yielding or being tempted are too easy, but sacrificing oneself for justice, never surrendering, is the hardest!
Such a powerful, even great man.
He couldn’t believe he would do such a despicable thing.
These days, he thought a lot, carefully delved into the whole affair, feeling there might be doubts; with Third Young Master’s character, if he really did it, would he dare not admit it, only confessing to him afterward?
He asked himself if he had some degree of judgment in evaluating people, wondering if Third Young Master had a reason he couldn’t easily disclose.
He once asked the Godfather, but the Godfather, withstanding immense punishment and death, remained very cunning and insidious, only giving a vague response that left him unsure whether to believe or not.
"Ling Xiu, go back, first listen to me." Ling Yan commanded, his voice stern.
Ling Xiu looked at him incredulously: "Brother, have you gone mad? He is the one who murdered our grandfather."
"Even if he really is..." Ling Yan sighed, "He doesn’t deserve death. First, he’s not the principal perpetrator; second, in this major case that could destroy the Sudian Group, he has contributed significantly, which legally can offset some of the guilt. Even if judgment is desired, it should be left to the law."
"The law? I could care less about the law; I just want to avenge death with death." Ling Xiu glared at Third Young Master, "Now tell me, do you still stand by your words!"
Third Young Master was silent for a moment, and his resolute voice resonated in the ward.
"If you truly insist on revenge, then I will fulfill my promise."
"Jun Huang..." Ye Lu stared at him in shock, "What are you doing, have you lost your mind?"
"Who asked you to take the blame for me?" An angry, cold voice came from the doorway, "Don’t think that by doing this, I will be grateful to you."
Ye Lu looked toward the door in astonishment, seeing Gu Yan standing at the entrance of the ward, his face full of sarcasm and indifference.
Upon hearing these shocking words, the Ling family brothers both turned sharply, staring at Gu Yan.
Third Young Master looked at him coolly: "Why would I want your gratitude? Don’t misunderstand, I’m just being responsible for my own words."
"You talk about taking the blame? Are you saying my grandfather was killed by you?" Ling Xiu questioned Gu Yan angrily, incredulous.
Gu Yan laughed coldly, indifferent: "Yes, but who would’ve thought after all this time, you still haven’t found the real killer. It really makes me feel sorry for you."
"Gu Yan, you bastard—" Ling Xiu threw a punch, forcing Gu Yan to stagger back a few steps, colliding into the table behind him, knocking things down with a crash. He coldly questioned again, "I’ll ask you one more time, did you really kill my grandfather, or are you just covering for Third Young Master?"
Gu Yan didn’t care about the swelling injuries on his face, scornfully smiling: "You really are amusing. Why would I cover for him? If you knew this person once stole the one I loved most, always oppressed and ridiculed me, even though we were brothers, yet he took away everything I longed for, then you’d know just how much I hate this man."
Ye Lu’s heart trembled; she never imagined Gu Yan would confess to this crime. She used to hate him for using her to get back at Third Young Master.
Now, it seems everything was manipulated by fate.
"When we were young, we were brothers; before that, enemies; from now on, I still consider you my brother!" Third Young Master’s eyes dimmed, recalling past events with mixed emotions.
