"Alright, but it will have to be a few days later. My grandfather just passed away. Sohow, I still feel his presence. Don’t they say that the departed tend to linger in familiar places on the seventh day after their death? Being wronged as he was, he might really co back to give a hint."
Jiayin’s heart trembles, she looks at the eerie, deserted villa and forces a smile, "Jingchen, how can you, too, believe in such superstition!"
"Because I believe, we, grandfather and grandson, have a telepathic connection."
Jiayin shudders inexplicably.
Ye Lu plans to invite an experienced murder investigation team. It won’t be easy to slip by them. She must bring her down, and close this case before that happens.
...
After tireless, desperate searching, Lunxi finally found the retired nurse.
The nurse had moved elsewhere with her family after retirent. It took Lunxi a lot of ti to find her.
"Ma’am, do you rember taking care of a man nad Hua Linqi at XX Hospital over twenty years ago?" Lunxi asked with trepidation.
The nurse, now in her sixties, wearing reading glasses, looked rather clueless.
Lunxi’s heart sunk slightly. After so many years, after caring for so many people, could she even rember what happened over twenty years ago?
"Ah, Mr. Hua Linqi! I rember!" Suddenly clapping her hands, the elderly woman broke into a nostalgic smile.
"You rember him?" Lunxi responded with a mix of surprise and joy.
"Of course, he was the last patient I took care of before my retirent, naturally, I have a deep impression. Moreover, he was a very kind man who greatly helped . I was extrely impoverished back then, my husband was sick, my children couldn’t afford to go to school, and I barely made ends et on my nurse’s salary. Mr. Hua, a kind-hearted man, sponsored my child’s education, paid for my husband’s treatnt, and helped get a less demanding job. How is he doing now?"
As she spoke, the elderly woman got emotional and teared up.
"He is my uncle, he’s passed away. I hope to help him find his daughter here in our country. So, I need your help. During his hospital stay, were there any particularly close won who visited him?"
The elderly woman thought carefully for a long ti, "Quite a few people ca to see him as he was a businessman. As for anyone particular... there was a woman. She visited frequently during the first month of his hospitalization, then stopped for two months, but then she ca again in the last month."
"Was this woman’s surna Yan?"
"Yan? Yes, now I rember. Her na was Yan Yu. She was very beautiful. Yes, it was her. Mr. Hua’s attitude towards her was special."
Overjoyed, Lunxi asked, "Are you sure you didn’t get the na wrong?"
"Absolutely not. Mr. Hua always called her na in his confusion. I have never seen a man so deeply in love, so I particularly rember this na. It’s a pity, she was Mr. Hua’s ex-girlfriend. She only ca to see him after hearing that he was hospitalized. You could tell Mr. Hua loved her deeply, but she seed distant. After she disappeared for two months, I heard she got married. Ah, when Mr. Hua heard the news of her marriage, he almost went mad."
The retired nurse also had a look of regret and lancholy on her face.
"When Miss Yan ca again later, word had it, she was pregnant. Mr. Hua and her had a big fight in the sick room. I faintly heard her saying that she didn’t want to be found again, that she just wanted a peaceful life with her child, without any more scares. My God, could the child she was carrying be Mr. Hua’s?"
