At that moment, it felt as if a particularly strong force was pressing down on his shoulders; the old man’s coffin almost fell, luckily Ming Shang reacted quickly and managed to hold it up in time.

Looking again at Beiming Wuji, who was rolling on the ground, hands clutching his leg, Bai Jingqing went over for a look, stood up and said to Beiming Han, "The calf is fractured!"

Everyone around sighed; lifting his own father’s crystal coffin and somehow inexplicably breaking a bone, situations like this inevitably make one think.

Everyone simultaneously thought of one point; it seemed the old man didn’t want this son to carry his coffin.

Beiming Wuji was helped away, Ming Shang frowned and looked at the other three.

"Let’s go!" Beiming Han said lightly, and Ming Shang took Beiming Wuji’s place, escorting the old man onto the hearse.

Along the way, cries filled the air, Beiming Han sat silently beside the old man, eyes constantly falling on the face of this kindly elder, feeling exceptionally complicated.

Perhaps people really shouldn’t do anything against their conscience; now Beiming Han sat there, regretting having forged the paternal test between the old man and Beiming Qianqian, causing the old man to lose his daughter.

Though he had no choice and had to do it, he ultimately felt indebted to the old man.

After cremation, Beiming Han returned to Jade Garden holding the old man’s ashes, the memorial hall was already set up, Beiming Han placed the old man’s urn on the altar, and everyone began their prayers.

Beiming Han had Ye Qi pick up Gu Qingxin after the guests had thinned out in the afternoon.

Gu Qingxin had prepared long ago, dressed in all black, hair styled into a ponytail, with a white flower pinned in her hair.

Ye Yingsu dressed similarly, the two, accompanied by Lan Liehuo and Ye Qi, went downstairs.

The car headed towards Jade Garden, Gu Qingxin couldn’t help but ask Ye Qi, who was sitting opposite, "Is there still no progress on Aunt Zhou’s matter?"

Upon Gu Qingxin’s question, Lan Liehuo lazily lifted his eyelid to glance at the man opposite him.

Ye Qi, sitting sideways to Lan Liehuo, calmly replied, "We’ve been busy with the old man’s funeral these days, people have been arranged to investigate, but there’s been no progress."

"Oh." Gu Qingxin felt a bit disappointed.

"I really want to know..." Lan Liehuo suddenly spoke, drawing the attention of Gu Qingxin and Ye Yingsu, "Where were you during the time Aunt Zhou had her accident?"

Ye Qi also turned to him, frowned and said, "I was in my own room."

"In your own room, so no alibi then?" Lan Liehuo laughed and said.

"You’re suspecting Ye Qi? It couldn’t possibly be him! Anything could happen, but it’s definitely not him!" Gu Qingxin defended Ye Qi without hesitation.

"What is your relationship with him? How can you be so sure? Sometimes the least likely thing you think can often be the truth!" Lan Liehuo irresponsibly said.

The reason it was said irresponsibly is because he indeed had no evidence.

Moreover, he had no intention of getting involved in this murder case, as he didn’t know who that elder was.

But...

This seemingly ordinary murder case wasn’t as simple as it appeared on the surface!

Maybe Aunt Zhou’s death was connected to these matters in some undisclosed way!

In other words, it posed a threat to Ye Yingsu’s safety, something he could not tolerate.
