Chapter 174 - 174 : 086
This night, after reciting her scriptures as was her routine, she lay down for sleep.
Ye Zheng was already fast asleep beside her.
“Sis, sis….”
It seemed like someone was calling her. A foggy scene unfolded before her eyes as Madam Ye kept walking through it but couldn’t seem to reach the end of the fog.
Who was it?
“Sis, it’s me, A Kang.”
“A Kang? Is that you?” Madam Ye saw a middle-aged man standing amidst the fog, smiling at her.
Tears stream down Madam Ye’s face. She rushed to embrace him but her hands passed right through him.
She turned around in disbelief: “A Kang, are you dead?”
Yes, her younger brother A Kang had passed away in a car accident three years ago.
When she heard the news, it struck her like a bolt out of the blue.
Their parents had passed away early. The siblings relied on each other. A Kang was highly capable. After graduating, he started a business. With the help of his brother-in-law and his distinctive abilities, he quickly became a rising star in Jiangzhou.
Many wealthy young women wanted to marry him back then, but he didn’t budge and married his college sweetheart, Zou Beibei. She strongly opposed it.
Zou Beibei was from a humble background, and Madam Ye didn’t look down on her for it. But this woman just used A Kang as a stepping stone, easily replacing him once she found a better man. Perhaps it was karma that she was discarded afterward. When A Kang had already achieved success, shamelessly, Zou Beibei sought to reconcile with him. Her foolish brother was easily swayed by a few sweet words, and despite her objections, he agreed to get back together. To avoid further straining their relationship, she reluctantly agreed.
In the first year of their marriage, Zou Beibei gave birth to their daughter An Ran. The couple seemed to live happily, and she decided to leave them to it.
They threatened divorce a few times in between, but always ended up reconciling, mainly for their daughter. She Imew her brother would never mistreat Zou Beibei. It must have been Zou Beibei who triggered A Kang’s anger by misbehaving. Despite their tumultuous relationship, they kept going until unexpectedly, three years ago, A Kang died in a car accident before he ever reached the hospital.
The at-fault driver fled the scene, and even after three years, the police had not located them, and the case was shelved.
Zou Beibei lived a luxurious life with the fortune Left by A Kang, and rumors were she was going to remarry soon.
Zou Beibei and her had a problematic relationship, and after A Kang’s death, she cut off all contact, even not allowing their daughter An Ran to see her. A Kang’s death had devastated her. Even after three years, she couldn’t let go.
“Sis, I died a wrongful death.”
“What?” Madam Ye exclaimed in disbelief.
“Mom, you’re awake.” Ye Lan looked up in surprise.
Madam Ye’s face was dark and terrifying.
‘Mom, what’s wrong? Are you suffering from insomnia again?”
Ye Sheng furrowed his eyebrows:”Did the Master’s medicine lose effectiveness?”
Madam Ye sat down silently for breakfast. Halfway through, she asked, “Who from the police was in charge of A Kang’s case back then?”
The three of them were curious about why Madam Ye suddenly brought up A Kang, who had passed away three years ago.
Ye Zheng put down his newspaper and said, “It was Li Feng. He’s now the Chief of Police. Why do you ask?”
After A Kang’s accident, Madam Ye was hospitalized for a month due to deep sorrow. So, A Kang’s funeral and the police investigation were handled by him.
“Get me his contact information.”
Ye Zheng frowned and looked at her deeply. “Did you find any clues to A Kang’s case?”
Ye Lan and Ye Sheng eagerly asked, “Mom, what happened to Uncle’s case?”
Madam Ye clenched her chopsticks tightly, her eyes filled with intense hatred that startled the other three. “A Kang visited me in my dream last night. He was murdered.”
The room fell into shocked silence.
Ye Lan sat up straight: “How could this be?”
A dream? How could they trust such a mysterious thing? The police had been investigating for three years with no lead, or else the case would have been closed.
Ye Sheng wanted to say it was just superstition, but considering it involved his uncle, he didn’t dare to make light of it.
“Do you have any evidence?” Ye Zheng became calm after his initial shock.
“The driver responsible for the accident was bribed. The police couldn’t find him because he has changed his identity and is laying low in Jiangzhou City..”
