King of Classical Music-Chapter 137

When Dorenza saw Evra entering his lounge together with Zayev, he went to the old man for a hug and said, "Evra, it's been a while! You rarely come to me even though we're in the same city. What made you stop by today?"

They were familiar with each other, so when Evra came, he didn't bring any gifts. He just spread his arms and smiled. "Isn't Wei Ai about to start this year's global tour? Of course, I have to see you before you leave."

To speak more with his old friend, Dorenza asked Zayev to leave first after joking around for a bit. Before he left, Evra made a joke with Zayev, making the atmosphere in the lounge quite harmonious.

But as soon as Zayev closed the door, Evra's face sank.

With his back facing Evra, Dorenza poured water for him. So when he turned around and saw his old friend's face, he was stunned. Sitting on the sofa beside him, Dorenza asked, "So, Evra, was there something you needed to tell me?"

Evra took the glass of water but didn't take a sip. Instead, he put the glass on the table. He looked solemnly at Dorenza, watching as he slowly sat up straight as if realizing——

Something severe was about to happen.

Instead of answering, Evra pulled out a thick letter and handed it over to him. "My old friend, this thing… I don't know how to tell you. But I think you will understand once you read this letter…"

"That is why I came in person."

Though it was a thick letter, Dorenza didn't spend much time reading it. Especially for the first third of the letter, he read hurriedly and didn't pay it much attention.

But once he got to the last two-thirds of the letter, Dorenza slowed down, reading several sentences more carefully than others.

As he read the letter, the gentle maestro was shocked. After a while, he asked, "Evra… You fired the second violin group's deputy because… He drugged Lu Zi Wen last year?!"

The concert had stayed vivid in Dorenza's memory all this time!

Before going on to the stage, the polite child came to greet him, and he wished him luck, but such a tragedy occurred before the concert even ended!

Evra shook his head, handing him a newspaper.

"No, Dorenza. Look at… This report."

Receiving one shocking news after another, Dorenza was overwhelmed. After reading the letter and the report, he and Evra had a long, heated discussion in his lounge.

When the sunset and the night fell, the gentle conductor clenched his fist and finally admitted, "You know, Evra, I've noticed… Something Zayev did a long time ago. It's just, now that you tell me that he's involved with Lu Zi Wen's death, I really…"

"But Dorenza! How could you not believe it?! I have about a 90% grasp on the whole drugging situation, the only thing I lack is the exact evidence! Right now, it's very likely that it was Zayev who orchestrated the whole thing, so why won't you start to investigate?!"

"…Evra, I…"

"Dorenza, I know you're a kind-hearted person, and you don't want to doubt people, but this involves… Someone's life. When you came to our orchestra to invite Lu Zi Wen as your concertmaster, I thought you brought him an opportunity. I never thought… It would lead him to his death."

"I don't blame you, Dorenza. Your intentions were good. I believe Lu Zi Wen respected you a lot. But… His death wasn't an accident. It was murder! Are you really willing to let him die without justice?!!!"

Silence spread in the conductor's lounge.

A long time passed before Dorenza's firm voice resounded, "Evra, I understand. I… We will investigate Zayev's past thoroughly."

"I owe this to Lu…"

"I owe him the truth!"
