Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Chapter 2079

Chapter 2079: On The Contrary

Lu Xingzhi ran into the washroom almost immediately after seeing Jiang Yao’s reaction. He closed the door and picked up the suicide note again.

He read the first line of the suicide note. The words were neat, but every word almost penetrated the paper. Sergeant Hu’s father must have been very calm when he wrote that note. However, the strength of his writing betrayed his mood; it must have been very heavy.

[I know I’m guilty, and I no longer want to continue living in this world. I’ve done something evil and caused the loss of two lives. I know it’s useless to apologize, so I can only offer my life. I have hurt you guys. You guys are innocent. No, this is not right.]

The letter was long, but it got harder to read because of the blood stains. The last sentences were slightly clearer.

[I failed in harming the person I wanted, and I’ve hurt innocent people instead. Fortunately, you are still young. I wish you a happy future. I will atone for my sins in the undervvorld.]

Lu Xingzhi’s gaze stopped at that sentence. He failed to harm the person he wanted to hurt?

Did Sergeant Hu’s father have a purpose for doing those things? Then, who was the person he wanted to harm?

Unfortunately, there was no more content at the end, and the long paragraph in the middle was utterly unclear.

Lu Xingzhi kept the suicide note. He wanted to get someone professional to restore its content. Then, he washed his hands. After making sure that there was no longer any smell of blood on the note, he opened the door and walked out again.

When Lu Xingzhi finally came out, Jiang Yao asked, “What was in Sergeant Hu’s father’s note? Did it say why he did those things?”

Lu Xingzhi shook his head. “Most of the note was stained with blood. I can only read the first few sentences and the last few sentences. Sergeant Hu’s father must have had a target, but we don’t know the person. He said he did not manage to hurt his target, only innocent people.

Then, Lu Xingzhi said, “However, that suicide note explains the reason for his suicide.”

“Did he feel guilty for implicating the innocent people and couldn’t get past it, so he committed suicide to atone for his sins?”

That was Jiang Yao’s guess, and that was based on whether Sergeant Hu’s father was a person with a conscience.

“He only used abortion drugs in the water supply at the martial arts arena, so his target must have been someone with a pregnant family member participating in that competition. His target was one of the four people, including me.”

Jiang Yao touched her chin and said, “I’ve never met Sergeant Hu’s father, and

I’ve not had much contact with his family, so logically, it shouldn’t be me. Sergeant Hu’s father had no motive to attack me.”

Lu Xingzhi’s eyes suddenly darkened. He shook his head and rejected Jiang Yao’s guess.

“You’re wrong.”

Lu Xingzhi walked toward Jiang Yao. “On the contrary, I think his target

Lu Xingzhi’s tone and expression made Jiang Yao’s heart jump. His voice was a little hesitant as he continued to speak..
