Lu Chuan frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "It's been too long, I can't remember clearly. Shen Lan, although your father and I are good friends, we never interfere in each other's family affairs, so uncle really doesn't know."

"Is that so?" Shen Lan nodded, and her heart turned cold as she looked at his harmless appearance.

Lu Chuan is too smooth, and this roundabout way of thinking won't get him to do anything. It seems like the only way out is to go straight.

Shen Lan thought for a moment and pretended to hesitate: "There's one more thing I'm not sure if I should ask..."

Lu Chuan always pretended to be gentle and generous in front of Shen Lan. He immediately said, "Ask me anything. As long as I know, I will tell you everything I know."

That's what I want.

Shen Lan's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Uncle Lu, I remember the day before the accident, my mother said that my father had a quarrel with you, and that he had been sulking in the study that day. Can I ask why you and my father quarreled?"

Hearing this, Lu Chuan narrowed his eyes and looked her up and down: "What do you mean by asking this? Do you suspect that your parents' death has something to do with me?"

Shen Lan's eyes widened instantly, and he quickly shook his head: "Why would you think so? I doubt that no one can doubt you."

"Not to mention that our two families are old friends, you and Aunt Tao Lan are both good friends of my parents. Besides, we have no hatred or conflicts of interest. No matter what, you would never kill my parents."

Her eyes were full of sincerity, yet also a little aggrieved. "My parents' death anniversary is approaching, and I still don't know who the murderer is. I can't even avenge them. Uncle Lu, if I had known you thought this, I wouldn't have asked. Anyway, I finally understand. After my parents passed away, no one took me seriously..."

As Shen Lan spoke, her eyes were red and she turned her head away, quietly wiping away her tears.

This pitiful look gave Lu Chuan a headache.

"Uncle doesn't mean that...Okay, since you want to know, I'll tell you."

Shen Lan sobbed and stopped crying, hiding the cunning in her eyes: "You don't have to force it."

"No, there's nothing to hide. I actually went to your dad the other day to discuss a business matter. Unfortunately, your dad was too conservative and didn't want to agree. We had a disagreement and argued, and we parted on bad terms."

Lu Chuan sighed and said with a sad face: "If I had known that something bad would happen to him, I would not have quarreled with him. As a result, we two brothers have never resolved the conflict until we die. I regret it very much."

Shen Lan pondered the truth of his words and asked tentatively, "What kind of business is it?"

Lu Chuan curled his lips and said, "Of course, your father is looking for a medical business. Your father once told me that your family has an ancestral prescription, but due to the lack of medicinal materials, it is impossible to mass-produce it."

"It just so happened that I knew a medicinal herb merchant at the time who could provide a stable supply of large quantities of medicinal herbs, and even had channels to obtain some rare medicinal herbs. I wanted to invest and cooperate with your father, but unfortunately he was hesitant and hesitant and refused to agree."

When Shen Lan heard this, she knew that at least half of what Lu Chuan said was true.

It is impossible for him to find such a perfect explanation in such a short time. Part of his words must be true, and the other part is probably concealed or fabricated.

"Shen Lan." Lu Chuan's words pulled her back to her thoughts: "Uncle regrets not reaching a cooperation with the Shen family back then. Now you are the only one left in the Shen family, and uncle also wants to help you. Do you want to consider cooperating with the Lu family?"

Shen Lan's eyes were full of confusion: "What cooperation?"

"What else could it be? Of course it's what I just said. The prescription is in your hands now. As long as you take it out, your uncle will provide the money, manpower and effort, and you just need to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. When you have the money, you can also revive the Shen family. Your parents will definitely be proud of you in their graves."

Lu Chuan spoke in a soft and gentle voice, and his words were full of temptation.

Shen Lan frowned even more tightly and gave a bitter smile: "Uncle Lu, I want it too. But I don't have a prescription. I haven't even heard of any prescriptions at home. I just heard about it from you."

"How is that possible? Didn't your father tell you?" Lu Chuan's expression changed slightly.

Shen Lan shook her head. "When my parents got into trouble, I was only seven years old. Would you tell such an important thing about your family to a seven-year-old girl?"

"Besides, they were in trouble so suddenly that I didn't even get to see my dad for the last time..."

Shen Lan's voice was choked with sobs, her lips trembling as she couldn't continue speaking. She looked like a little girl in deep sorrow.

Lu Chuan looked grim.

Could it be that he was wrong? Was the prescription really not with her?
