LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 330 Swear an Oath
"Then, then it has nothing to do with us."
"Rest assured, if it's not my doing, ultimately, it won't involve me either. You've had a hard night, once you get back, make sure to catch up on some sleep."
"Big brother, I'm not tired yet, just let me know if there's anything else I need to do."
"For now, there's no need, and besides, Wang Guixiang's affairs still cannot be settled for the time being, right, what about the child?"
"Oh, the child, I've already delivered her to her parents' home."
"How are her parents holding up?"
"Extremely grieved, it's clear they can't accept this reality."
"Ah, there are few greater tragedies in this world than the elderly burying the young. I'm afraid no one could come to terms with it, it's only with time that the pain can gradually be washed away."
Lin Yi was indeed moved.
Moreover, he felt deep sympathy in his heart.
Just yesterday, a perfectly fine woman was still on the phone celebrating her new lease on life with me.
And in the blink of an eye, she'd gone to heaven.
Who could possibly come to terms with such a psychological shock?
Accompanied by Hei Lang, Lin Yi arrived at the morgue.
No matter what, it was only right to see this old friend off personally.
The moment the white sheet was lifted, Lin Yi truly felt as though his heart was breaking.
She lay there so peaceful, as if merely asleep.
Such a young child, now not only without a father, but even her mother, the one she relied on, was gone.
"Guixiang, remember this, I must avenge you. And I swear I won't stop until I catch Zhao Guangchen."
In front of Wang Guixiang's body, Lin Yi silently made a vow.
Wang Sheng had prepared all the meals and then brought them to the table.
"Alright, kids, you can all come down to eat now, Xue Mei, Xue Mei."
Just a moment ago, they were all clearly in the living room when I entered the kitchen.
But now, at this moment, how could they suddenly have disappeared?
He called out in the room for a while but there seemed to be no response at all.
Wang Sheng looked up, puzzled.
"What's going on, could they have gone out to play?"
He opened the window and looked out into the small square, but since it was mealtime, there were no children in sight.
Very strange indeed.
Muttering to himself, he then headed upstairs.
"Han Xuemei, Han Xuemei."
Calling her name, he walked straight into the children's bedroom.
There, Wang Sheng saw the two children lying asleep in bed.
But apart from these two children, where was the little girl? How had she disappeared?
"Wake up, wake up."
He hurried over and began shaking the children's bodies.
Finally, Da Bao and Er Bao opened their eyes.
They sat up in bed, rubbing their bleary eyes.
After a while, they yawned deeply.
"You two, where's your sister? Where did she go?"
"Where did my sister go?"
Da Bao was still groggy from sleep, seemingly unable to grasp what Wang Sheng was asking.
"Yes, I'm asking you, where's your sister? Weren't you all playing with your auntie?"
"Oh, I remember now, just now, auntie gave us some juice to drink, and then... then we fell asleep, and after that, I don't know what happened."
"What juice?"
Wang Sheng heard this and then turned back to look.
Indeed, there was a glass of juice on the table.
He quickly walked over and held it under his nose to take a sniff.
Of course, he couldn't smell anything.
If someone had indeed put a sedative or sleeping pills in there, it would likely be undetectable.
"Okay, you all just stay here and don't go anywhere; I'll be back shortly."
It was only at this moment that Wang Sheng realized the matter was probably quite troublesome.
It was clear that the girl must have been taken away by Han Xuemei.
Damn it, he had actually overlooked this detail.
If Han Xuemei hated Lin Yi so much, then his children might be implicated as well.
If Lin Yi really came back, how would he explain everything?
Wang Sheng, frantic, prepared to go out and search.
As he walked, he repeatedly tried to call Han Xuemei directly.
As one would expect, how could Han Xuemei possibly answer at a time like this?
After the phone rang for a while, she simply hung up.
And when he called again, he was greeted with the sound of the phone being turned off.
"Wang Sheng, what are you doing?"
He had just reached the doorway when he almost bumped into Lin Yi's arms.
"Oh, no, nothing, I've just been to the market, buying groceries, my phone, my phone seems to be lost."
"What? Your phone is lost?"
"Yes, that's right, my phone is lost. The food, I've already cooked it, master, you should hurry up and eat, I'll be back in a moment."
Wang Sheng didn't want to spill the beans here.
Because he knew that once he did, he wouldn't be able to shirk responsibility.
All he could do now was to get away from here as quickly as possible, then find Er Bao's whereabouts as soon as he could; only then could he provide a final explanation to Lin Yi.
Wang Sheng today seemed indeed a bit oddly restless.
Just as he was about to leave, Lin Yi grabbed him and pulled him back.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
He seemed somewhat panicked and uneasy.
After all, he had done something guilty.
Lin Yi patted him down and immediately took out the phone.
"Wasn't your phone lost? What's this?"
It was all over now.
It truly was a situation of 'speak of the devil and he shall appear.'
With the phone laying there, he seemed to have no ground for argument at this point.
Wang Sheng lowered his head, and Lin Yi could see it right away.
Clearly, he was trying to leave in a hurry and didn't dare meet Lin Yi's gaze.
"Tell me, what happened?"
"Goddamn it, I'm talking to you, didn't you hear?"
Hei Lang was not known for his good temper.
And he had never thought highly of Wang Sheng.
As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Wang Sheng by the collar.
Wang Sheng's body struggled a bit.
But there was not a trace of fear in his eyes.
He glared at Hei Lang, looking him straight in the eye.
"What? What do you want to do? Want to have a go? If you're not convinced, let's have a fight."
