âI can tell. Are you here to show off?â Jiang Yao straightened her posture, but the expression on her face was still contemptuous and arrogant. âLi Hong, do you think you donât have to go back in after you come out?
âIâm very curious. How much did the person who helped you spend on you? Tell me, why did he help you? Is there anything in you thatâs worth him helping you? He shouldnât take those crocodileâs tears seriously.â Jiang Yao wanted to test her, so she did not say it too directly.
Li Hongâs breathing could be heard clearly on the phone. She stopped, and her breathing became heavier and faster.
When she opened her mouth again, her voice was sharp and harsh. âWhat does it have to do with you? Anyway, Iâm out. Thereâs nothing you can do to me!â
Li Hong shouted the last sentence and hung up.
Jiang Yao snorted and threw the phone back to Moe. Li Hongâs brain must have been damaged. She dared to call Jiang Yao when she was released. She probably thought that Jiang Yao would freak out and cry when she heard from Li Hong.
Jiang Yao thought that it was funny. If she only had that little patience, would she still be able to eat, drink, and be happy every day?
Jiang Yao did not take Li Hongâs call to heart at all. At night, Jiang Yaoâs father cooked dinner. Jiang Yao ate more that night, and her father felt proud. It was as if she meant that her motherâs cooking skills were not as good as his.
Before she went to sleep at night, Jiang Yao made another call to Lu Xingzhi. They just spoke on the phone for a short timeâroughly ten minutes. Jiang Yao could tell that Lu Xingzhi was not feeling well.
Jiang Yao assumed that it was primarily due to what transpired during the day. Therefore she purposefully asked only the necessary questions.
Jiang Yao did not feel anything when she hung up the phone, and she had no idea that she would be unable to reach Lu Xingzhi again for the next two days.
His phone would always be off if she could not reach him. Since it had only been two days, Jiang Yao did not worry to the extent that she was unable to eat or sleep since she believed Lu Xingzhi had been assigned to a task where he could not communicate with the outside world.
Li Hongâs parents, who Jiang Yao had asked Cheng Jinyan to hunt, had yet to respond after two days. The telegram from Du Chen in Jindo City was the first thing that caused Jiang Yao the most concern.
She received the message after four in the morning. At that moment, Jiang Yao was still fast asleep.
âWe canât bury the Zhou family members yet. A few days ago, I found a master to look at the Feng Shui of the Zhou familyâs ancestral grave. Then, I found a good piece of land. I also told the master about the relocation of Zhou Xiaochengâs grave. The master gave us a good date to do that. Today is an auspicious day, so we followed the master to Zhou Xiaochengâs grave in the evening and prepared to perform a ritual to move Zhou Xiaochengâs grave before dawn.
âVVhen we opened Zhou Xiaochengâs grave just now, the master said that her grave had been moved recently. When we opened the coffin, there was nothing inside. There was no trace of Zhou Xiaochengâs remains.â
The sky had not brightened yet. Jiang Yao could not help but feel a chill down her spine when she heard that news.
âVVho moved Zhou Xiaochengâs grave?â Jiang Yao felt that the matter was simply unbelievable. How could something happen to a dead person who had already been buried?
Jiang Yao thought for a moment and said, âArrange for someone to ask around in the nearby village. Ask if they have gone up the mountain recently and if they have seen any suspicious people near the Zhou familyâs ancestral grave. â.
