In XX Field in the suburbs of City Z
A black limousine slowly drove onto the cement street by the field and soon stopped by the road. Haruto turned around and said respectfully to Lisa who was resting with his eyes closed, "Master, we're here."
When he heard that, Lisa opened his eyes. A profound light filled the air, and Haruto could vaguely feel a hint of coldness.
He turned to look out the car window, very quickly he noticed that dark figure underneath the umbrella by the field.
"Master, Ji Shung came over alone. His assistant is right down there," Haruto softly muttered after analyzing as he got down to open the car door for Lisa.
"All of you stay here and wait for me too," Lisa calmly said before getting down from the car unhurriedly.
...
Lisa stopped behind Ji Shung. It was rather cold to be standing there. The wind that blew from the bottom of the mountain ruffled their clothes.
"You're here."
Ji Shung did not turn and his deep voice contained a hint of hostility.
Lisa did not answer. Instead, he took two steps forward and stood beside him, his frosty gaze following Ji Shung's line of sight and looking ahead.
"That's Qingshan Cemetery across there. Your aunt and Suho are buried in that direction. It's a pretty quiet place that's quite suitable to just rest in peace. Plus, the fengshui in this cemetery is notably good."
Ji Shung suddenly lifted a hand to point at the direction across. His deep voice was colored with a hint at the woes of life.
Lisa did not look at him either as he calmly asked, "It's a good place to rest in peace, but do you think they can rest in peace?"
Ji Shung just smiled calmly as he turned to look at Lisa. "I know you've been investigating me recently. My people have also found out that you asked someone to do a DNA test for me and Yeji abroad."
"What do you think the test results were?" Lisa's deep voice came through, his deep gaze showing unfathomable hostility as he shot Ji Shung a side glance.
"What did you think then? What could the outcome have been?" Ji Shung asked him instead, his handsome face adorned with a smile that seemed a little cold.
Lisa stared at him for quite a while. His mind could not help but flash with Suho's handsome face. With that comparison in mind, he vaguely realized that the father and son actually had similar jawlines though it was not very obvious. Suho and Yeji did look more like Manoban Zixi.
"You and Yeji's DNA have a 99% match. The results prove that you and she are father and daughter. That means you are Suho and Yeji's biological father. What? Don't you think you should be explaining yourself?" Lisa averted his gaze and sneered as he studied the cemetery across them. "You should know that all these years, Yeji has been looking for her biological father."
"Explain what?" Ji Shung muttered softly. After that, he took a deep breath and sighed. "To explain things? Well, I don't know what I could even explain."
As Ji Shung said this, he lifted a hand to massage the stress between his brows. "That was our doing. I admit that Suho and Yeji are indeed the children of your aunt, Manoban Zixi, and I. It's been over 20 years now, and I thought that this secret could continue to be kept. Unexpectedly, you lot still managed to find out in the end. You're pretty capable, Lis.
"But it's not a good thing to find out about these things. Your aunt worked hard to conceal it while I continued her secrecy. Don't you understand?" As Ji Shung said this, he looked coldly at Lisa. "Even if you know now, what do you think you can do? Do you think that the situation right now will be better than before? You don't even know anything. Do you have the courage to reveal all of this? And can you bear the burden of the consequences once it's exposed?"
When he shot these questions at Lisa, there was suddenly a sinister expression on Ji Shung's face as he did not hide the resentment in his eyes. His tone was bitter. "Suho's dead. If you want Miyeon to meet misfortune, then you can feel free to expose it."
When Ji Shung issued his threat, Lisa's heart tightened. He fixed his eyes on Ji Shung with a gaze that was so cold it could cut through ice. "Because of Doris?"
When he heard the name, a mix of emotions flashed in Ji Shung's eyes. He scowled and then looked downwards.
Nevertheless, Lisa could catch a mixture of love and hatred in his gaze.
Lisa hesitated, then asked, "Did Suho know?"
Ji Shung laughed grimly. "You're wrong. Suho didn't know I was his father, but I know that he fell in love with Miyeon, his sister from the same father and the same mother. He couldn't lie given the way he looked at Miyeon. Miyeon inherited her mother's outstanding looks. The moment she was born, she was raised by her mother to be someone with noble charisma. Very few people can resist her beauty, and Suho was the same. However, because of the way they're blood-related, how could I have let them walk down this path of error?
"Back then, Doris had always known I had another woman behind her back, so she's been investigating this. She suspected your aunt, and even if your aunt has passed away, she still did leave Suho and Yeji behind for me. Because I didn't want her to suspect anything, I insisted that Miyeon marry you. Apart from getting rid of Doris's suspicion, my other aim was to make Suho give up. In the end, beyond my expectations, you actually let Suho stay behind, and after that... After that, things turned out the way they did and Suho passed away. Tell me, do you think I should resent you? Do you think you're that innocent? Miyeon was meant to be your fiancèe, wasn't she?"
Ji Shung glared at Lisa coldly, his sinister gaze seeming as if it was poison. "You killed him, do you understand that? If you'd just married Miyeon, everything would have gone as planned. Suho wouldn't have died, and Miyeon wouldn't have been disfigured. The secret that your aunt and I have been keeping wouldn't have been revealed, causing the siblings to be at risk."
"Don't make yourself sound so good and honest. If you cared, you shouldn't have cheated on Doris or betrayed my aunt. Do you dare say that when you planned all of this, that you were just doing it for Suho and the rest? I'm sure the data in my hands are key too!"
Had it been before, Lisa might have felt sad hearing these words, but now he no longer felt that because he had been reflecting on it for a long time now, and he did not feel that he had done anything wrong.
