Full-Time Magister: Forced Marriage, I Choose Mu Ningxue

Chapter 19 My parents' deaths are suspicious; if there's no justice, I'll kill them.

Lu Yuan and Nan Jue went grocery shopping and then returned to Uncle Chen's residence.

As soon as they stepped into the stairwell, they saw that the walls were very dilapidated and the stair railing looked like it was about to collapse, which was quite frightening.

"This house." Nan Jue couldn't bear to look at the state of the house any longer.

"Nan Jue, is this the treatment all military mages who come down from the battlefield receive?" Lu Yuan asked, turning his head.

Nan Jue paused for a moment, "I don't know anything about this. I'll do some research when I get back."

Lu Yuan nodded.

How heartbroken these military mages who risked their lives for the city would be if they knew they would be treated like this!

Lu Yuan knocked on the door, and Uncle Chen opened it for them, welcoming them in with a smile.

"Please sit in the living room for a while, I'll cook for you," Uncle Chen said with a smile.

Lu Yuan glanced around the living room, which was very clean and tidy, but some of the things in the living room were old and looked like they had been used for a long time.

He took the groceries and went into the kitchen, saying, "I'll help you."

"That works too." Uncle Chen shook his head with a smile when he saw Lu Yuan had already slipped into the kitchen.

The kitchen was very basic, without even a range hood, but it was kept very clean.

"The kitchen utensils are all over there." Uncle Chen pointed to the kitchen utensil cabinet not far away.

Lu Yuan walked over, took out all the kitchen utensils, and then began washing vegetables and cutting meat.

"Uncle Chen, was there something you wanted to tell me before?" Lu Yuan recalled what had happened back then.

Uncle Chen glanced at Lu Yuan, still hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yuan could tell that Uncle Chen was troubled. "Have you encountered any difficulties? You can tell me."

Uncle Chen remained silent.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "You don't need to worry. Although I have left the Lu family, I have saved up quite a bit of money on my own."

"Moreover, I have already become a student of Dean Xiao of Mingzhu Academy, and he has been very kind to me."

"So, Dean Xiao is your teacher?" Uncle Chen turned his head and asked in surprise.

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, "Uncle Chen, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I will definitely help you if I can."

Uncle Chen had saved his mother's life before, so he would definitely help if he could.

"Actually...actually..." Uncle Chen said, tears welling up in his eyes.

"What's wrong, Uncle Chen?" Lu Yuan leaned closer and asked, puzzled.

Uncle Chen blurted out, "Actually, I suspect that your parents' deaths were not an accident."

"Not an accident?" Lu Yuan asked in astonishment.

"Yes." Uncle Chen recalled what had happened before, "I was there at the time and saw that monster."

"A monster?" Lu Yuan was puzzled, but he felt that this matter was definitely not simple.

"When you were little, I was with your father," Uncle Chen continued. "Once, I saw Lu Nian being called into your father's office."

"Lu Nian..." Lu Yuan knew that Lu Nian was Lu Zhiyong's eldest son, which also made him think of some bad things.

Uncle Chen said, "I overheard their conversation and learned that Lu came here to conduct a certain research project."

"Research..." Lu Yuan suddenly thought of something, which was very likely related to the Blood Seed.

Lu Nian...

Research on blood-purifying herbs...

Mom and Dad...

Lu Yuan clenched his fists, piecing together all these events, as if he had guessed something.

Uncle Chen continued, "Lu Nian is doing research in the army. I don't know exactly what kind of research he's doing, but your father is strongly against it and doesn't agree with him continuing."

"But Lu Nian doesn't care, because he has connections, so he's not afraid of your dad at all."

"At that time, a terrifying demon escaped from their laboratory and killed several military mages."

"Because of this, your father and Lu Nian had a big fight, and neither of them spoke to each other afterward."

Lu Yuan asked, "Uncle Chen, do you suspect that my father's death was due to Lu Nian's research?"

Uncle Chen, tears streaming down his face, finally nodded. "I've seen that kind of monster, so I know it must have been developed by Lu Nian."

"I've kept this to myself, knowing it would be pointless to say anything, because someone wanted to suppress it."

Lu Yuan grew angrier the more he listened, his fists clenching so tightly they cracked.

Uncle Chen wiped away his tears. "I didn't want to tell you, but if I don't, perhaps no one will avenge the Military Intelligence Bureau."

Lu Nian!

It was Lu Nian!

Uncle Chen said with heartache, "The demon riots back then were caused by Lu Nian. All the high-level mages who participated died, and it was only in the end that a super-level mage was able to suppress them."

"Dad, Mom..." Lu Yuan hadn't expected this to happen. At this moment, he wished he could kill Lu Nian.

Uncle Chen advised, "Yuanzi, don't be impulsive. You are no match for them now."

"I know." Lu Yuan felt that Lu Chen and Lu Zhiyong must know about this. They even pretended to have nothing and wanted to throw their parents' memorial tablets out of the ancestral hall!

At that moment, he longed to become powerful immediately and trample them all under his feet.

Uncle Chen sighed, "I reported this matter later, but they protected each other, so it was useless."

Just then, Nan Jue walked in from outside. She had heard the conversation between the two of them.

"Uncle Chen, can you tell me about it?"

"Nan girl..." Uncle Chen knew Nan Jue's family background; it was second to none in the Northwest Military Region.

Nan Jue said firmly, "Uncle Lu and Aunt Liu took good care of me. Since they were murdered, I must clear their name."

"Nan Jue, thank you." Lu Yuan was sincerely grateful. Even if Dean Xiao had great influence, he couldn't reach the military.

But Nan Jue is different. She has a military background and is in the Northwest Military Department, so it's only a matter of time before she can find out the truth.

"Don't be so polite with me." When Nan Jueli was bullied as a child, Lu Yuan always stood up for him and fought back.

Therefore, although the two of them had not seen each other for a long time, they did not feel estranged.

"If there's anything you need from Uncle Chen, just let me know, and I'll definitely step in," Uncle Chen said, wiping away another tear.

Lu Yuan and Nan Jue nodded.

……

After Uncle Chen finished eating, Nan Jue took Lu Yuan away and headed towards the house left by Lu Yuan's parents.

Nan Jue said with satisfaction, "Uncle Chen's cooking is really delicious, it tastes just like home."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "You can come visit them more often in the future; they will be very happy."

"I'll come often," Nan Jue nodded. "And their treatment issue needs to be resolved; I won't keep them waiting too long."

"Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do," Lu Yuan said with a helpless smile.

"As a military mages, this is my duty," Nan Jue said righteously. "As for your parents' matter, there may not be a result in the short term, so..."

"It's alright, I can wait." Lu Yuan thought that if Nan Jue couldn't find any evidence and couldn't get justice, he wouldn't mind killing Lu Nian.

soon.

The SUV stopped, and Nan Jue looked at the small house in the distance. "We've arrived."
