Chapter 927:
"Brother Lin, what exactly happened? How did Uncle Li disappear?" As soon as she got back, she rushed to Tang Garden to find Lin Yebai.
Lin Yebai had just learned about this himself. Seeing her panic, he quickly comforted her and instructed people in Fengdu to start investigating the matter.
However, no one expected that the outcome of this incident would be that two days later, Uncle Li was found dead in a stinking ditch, and the seal he carried was also missing.
"Ah—"
Upon hearing the news, the grief-stricken and furious Ye Ning fainted on the spot!
Uncle Li, the old servant who had been loyal to Phoenix Blue Ink for over thirty years. All those years when she didn’t remember her past, unaware of her identity, it was Phoenix Blue Ink that she had been supporting.
Ye Ning seemed to have been struck down again, her whole being filled with hatred and resentment.
Lin Yebai noticed and worried, sent people overnight to find the seal. However, there was never a trace again, and helplessly, he had to first transport Uncle Li’s corpse back.
The body was brought back, and the funeral was personally arranged by Lin Yebai, but on the day of the burial, it was that girl who personally held the urn and placed it into the grave step by step.
"Uncle Li, don’t worry, I will definitely avenge you, you wait for me!" As she placed the coffin inside, her scarred hands gently caressed it, as if stroking her own father.
Seeing this, Lin Yebai felt a heavy burden in his heart. Once the funeral was finally over, he wanted her to leave the city and take a break, but this girl stubbornly stayed at her little shop, at the place Uncle Li once left her.
On March 15, the Kite Festival, Ou Mucen returned, standing at the door of her shop with a child.
"I’m back..."
He held the child’s hand with his right hand and dragged luggage with his left, appearing as if a scene had suddenly played out in a movie. Under the bright sunshine, he wore a thin gray trench coat with a snow-white shirt inside, a high nose bridge, and light thin lips, elegant and noble, handsome and charming, like the most captivating scenery of spring, mesmerizing anyone who saw him.
He’s back?
He’s finally back?
Ye Ning quietly looked at him for a long, long time, as if her mind hadn’t registered it, her expression was blank, her eyes dazed, and even her thin, pale face seemed occasionally delirious like a sick person.
Until the child standing beside him, whom he had been holding, saw her not moving and said, "Mom, why aren’t you happy? We are all back."
We are all back!
As these words fell, it was as if the frozen lake finally cracked, as though the vast white snow finally melted. In an instant, she stood there, her lips fiercely trembling, and the next second, she rushed through the door and held the man forcefully, "Where did you die? Have you finally decided to come back? You bastard, where the hell were you?"
With desperate and hoarse cries, at this moment, the woman, whose emotions finally overflowed, held the man and cried like a child.
The man stood there, initially worried when she didn’t react for so long after he spoke, but now, seeing her rush over, hold him while cursing and hitting, and crying so heartbreakingly!
