Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit novel 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 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.”
