Chapter 1186: Goodbye, Second Brother (6)

Qiao Lian nodded, lowered her head and sneaked into the ward.

The moment she entered, she saw Lu Nanze and Qiao Yiyi standing there. Lu Nanze was holding something that looked like an account book, getting ready to set it ablaze in the brazier.

Qiao Lian’s eyes shone as she stepped forward in a flash, moving faster than she would normally do. Seeing that Lu Nanze was about to drop the account book into the brazier, she reached out and grabbed the object, saying, “Lu Nanze, give it to me!”

Even though he was injured, he moved very quickly and dodged her. He held the account book by his side and looked up at her asking, “Why are you here?”

Biting her lip, Qiao Lian said, “Lu Nanze, you know me, I mean what I say. Lu Nanze, do you know that all these years, my parents’ names have been dragged through the dirt? Do you know that my brother and I have been called the scammers’ children all this time? And do you know how sad I feel every time someone curses at my parents?”

“I know you have nothing to do with what happened eight years ago. But do you think it’s right of your father to do this to my family for the sake of your family business? Now my family’s ruined and the people dead! I suppose the fire at that time was a planned move to fool people too.”

“Lu Nanze, you have no idea how it feels. I want to restore my parents’ reputation! This account book belongs to the Qiao family, I want you to return it to me.”

“Lu Nanze, return it to me, or I will hate you for the rest of my life!”

As she uttered these heartbreaking words, she started to cry.

She looked at the account book anxiously.

If it got destroyed, then her parents reputation would be ruined forever.

All these years, she had endured hardships and lived a miserable life in hope that one day she could clear her parents’ names.

But now that the account book was just before her eyes, she was helpless to do anything.

Her voice trembled as she spoke these words with fury.

Biting forcefully her lip, she glared at Lu Nanze, but everything she saw was a blur as tears rolled down her face.

Lu Nanze felt completely lost as he looked at the highly distressed Qiao Lian.

He reached out and said, “Don’t cry, Qiao Lian.”

But before he could finish speaking, Qiao Lian quickly dashed for the account book.

Her hand almost touched the book, but she was up against a man like Lu Nanze. He immediately grabbed her wrist with one of his hands and with the other hand, tossed the account book into the brazier.

At once, the flames in the brazier jumped into the air and the cover of the account book was devoured.

Qiao Lian was almost dying of anxiety.

Without a second thought, she reached into the flames with her free hand to rescue the account book.

Her hand was almost right in the brazier.

At this point, Lu Nanze used his other hand to grab her wrist tightly.

Now her hand was right over the brazier.

And his hand was over hers, stopping her from reaching in.

At the same time, the flames from the brazier sparkled in the air.

Qiao Lian was going crazy, but the next moment the smell of something burning filled her nostrils.

She froze and suddenly realized...

Lu Nanze had forced her hand back but while doing this, his own arm had gotten exposed over the brazier.

In that moment, his arm was being grilled by the angry flames and that was where the smell was coming from.
