Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 299

Chapter 299 The Truth Was Shocking!

When Lyra heard this, she frowned in confusion. However, she saw that the bearded man was shocked

and looked at Hank in horror. “You, you know?” Hank did not answer him. Instead, he let the innkeeper

and Keith carry Uncle Zhang out. When he opened the door of the rescue car, he found that the driver

had already disappeared without a trace. “As long as we find this person, the truth will be revealed.”

Everyone in the village was looking for the missing driver. But this person seemed to have disappeared Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

into thin air, and there was no news of him.

That night, Uncle Zhang woke up. However, he didn’t want to see anyone, and he just asked the

innkeeper to call Lyra over.

“Me?”

“I’ll wait for you outside. Don’t worry.” Hank stood next to her, his voice low. But these words of his gave

Lyra an invisible power. She nodded and walked forward. The entire room was very dark. Uncle Zhang

leaned against the bedside and watched Lyra come in. An apologetic smile suddenly appeared on his

aged face. “Girl, come a little closer.” Lyra didn’t hide the doubt on her face. Uncle Zhang slowly

sighed, “You look very similar to your father. I should have discovered it earlier. Your eyes are exactly

the same as his.” “You remember him?” Lyra was a bit excited. Uncle Zhang bitterly smiled and shook

his head, “Then, how could I forget something that is deeply engraved in my memory?” He reached into

his clothes and took out an old yellow picture with wrinkles. His hand trembled slightly as he reached

out to Lyra. “Look, it’s these five people, right?” Lyra looked at the photo. It was the same photo as the

one she got, but it was not the same one.

“Are you willing to tell me what happened back then?” Lyra frowned. Uncle Zhang sighed deeply.

“If I tell you, you will live a very painful life. Are you still willing to listen?” Lyra was stunned for a

moment, but soon replied, “My life will not be more bitter than it is now.”

She had a hunch that she might be able to solve all the doubts today. “Twenty years ago, a company

was responsible for the construction project on the east side of the town…” The project had been

delayed for three years before it was completed. The manager who was mainly responsible was Drake.

He was very kind and serious. All the materials were in his hands. Originally, this was a good thing. The

local economy would also be stimulated by this project. But on the day of inspection, the whole building

turned into ruins in an instant. Two people died.

One was from their village, named Guo Tian, and the other was Hank’s father, Cunyong Barnwell. Lyra

was completely stunned. “How could…”

She never knew how Hank had become an orphan. When he went to the Jones family to propose

marriage, he was already alone. “Uncle Zhang, was that an accident, or was it man-made?” Lyra slowly

tightened her fingers. Uncle Zhang’s gaze became profound. He coughed twice and slowly closed his

eyes. “It was an accident, but because the materials were all picked up by someone, there had been

hidden dangers since then.” Uncle Zhang said and coughed twice. His entire body stooped, the pain on

his body forcing him to temporarily stop. “Please slow down,” Lyra immediately went forward to support

him, helping him to massage his back. Uncle Zhang’s coughing continued for quite a while before it

gradually stopped. His cloudy eyes reflected the dim light, and also Lyra’s face. “I didn’t tell you these

things before because I didn’t want you to live in the shadows of the older generation. No matter who

was wrong at that time, it was already in the past!”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became. He tightly grabbed Lyra’s hand, “Little girl, listen to

me. It’s already in the past. There are also people who have paid an irreparable price for this matter.

Let it go, okay?” Looking at Uncle Zhang’s sincere appearance, Lyra really couldn’t say anything to

refuse. Uncle Zhang’s hand trembled, “It has already been so long, there really is no need to look back.

Don’t be like that brat of the Barnwell family, trapping himself in hatred for his entire life.” After Uncle

Zhang said this, he leaned back and weakly waved his hand on the pillow. “When the road is

accessible, you can leave. Don’t come back, and don’t look for me again.” Lyra took a deep breath,

“Uncle Zhang, tell me one more thing, and I will agree not to disturb you anymore.” Uncle Zhang slowly

nodded, “Go ahead.”

“Who took these two photos?” Although there were five people in the photos, at that time, someone

must have been holding a camera. The man who didn’t appear in these photos was the culprit! Uncle

Zhang’s wrinkled face revealed a surprised expression. “If you don’t want to say his name, tell me what

his surname is.”

Why would the bearded uncle hate Lachlan for no reason?

He even wanted to burn his own house to burn his daughter to ashes!

Uncle Zhang trembled as he reached out and grabbed Lyra’s palm. He trembled as he extended a

finger and slowly wrote a word in her palm. Tears overflowed from his eyes.

“!, I was too short-sighted when I was young. I took his dirty money. In this life, I feel guilty. I am sorry

for the Barnwell family. I am sorry for your father…” After more than ten minutes, Lyra left Uncle

Zhang’s room. She looked at the man at the end of the corridor in a daze. The moonlight was wrapped

around his body, and the side of his face was so cold. Lyra suddenly thought of what Sister Zhang had

once said. Hank was not born to be cold and indifferent. He had experienced unimaginable pain and

became like this.

He was indeed cold but he made one’s heart ache.

Hearing the footsteps, the man turned around and saw Lyra lowering her head to wipe her tears. He

stepped forward and asked, “Do you know now?” Lyra nodded.

She lowered her head. Uncle Zhang had just told her one more thing. Hank did not know the identity of

the culprit. The last request he made was to hope that Lyra would not tell Hank the truth. If he found

out, the Kensley family would become the next Jones family.

And everything he did to the Jones family would become a scar in his heart forever. Why not let it go?

Hank frowned and opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but Lyra dodged to the side. “So,

it’s really my dad who let your family down.” Her voice was shallow as it circled the entire corridor.

When she looked at Hank again, her eyes were filled with a touch of determination and indifference.

“Hank, I hope you will never forgive me.”

The man stood still and watched Lyra walk away. He wanted to chase after her, but the pain in his heart

made him unable to take a step.

Finally, this day came.

Lyra knew all the truth. The last secret between them disappeared.
