I spent almost a week in Beicheng and finally finished dealing with everything.

Looking at the courtyard where her maternal grandparents had lived, Chen Jiayi's eyes revealed a sense of reluctance.

Chen Qiming walked over to Chen Jiayi and couldn't help but speak up as he looked at the flowers and plants in the yard.

“Jiayi, your grandmother loved to tinker with flowers and plants when she was alive. But she could never grow them. She would get angry if one of them failed to survive.”

“Your maternal grandfather started learning to grow flowers, but your maternal grandmother found it boring and started growing vegetables instead. But she couldn’t grow vegetables either, because the flowers your maternal grandfather planted absorbed the nutrients from her vegetables, so they couldn’t survive.”

Chen Jiayi looked at the well-protected vegetables and flowers in the yard and fell silent.

The vegetables and flowers here are planted in separate sections, so they don't stick together at all.

Chen Qiming sighed, "Jiayi, let's go. There will be people here to take care of you regularly."

Chen Jiayi nodded and they got into the car to go home.

Lan Meixuan didn't want to be reminded of her past, so she didn't dare to look at the courtyard behind her again.

She's been crying non-stop these past few days; she's almost gone blind from crying.

If Chen Qiming hadn't been constantly comforting Lan Meixuan, her condition would probably have been even worse.

On the way home, the car passed by the police station.

Chen Jiayi saw Ding Haowen holding Ding Xiang's hand as they slowly walked out of the police station.

Chen Jiayi thought she had misread it. She paused for a moment, then turned around and took a closer look.

Chen Jiayi was somewhat surprised to find that it was indeed Ding Haowen and Ding Xiang.

It feels like I run into Ding Haowen everywhere.

After returning to Haicheng, Chen Jiayi devoted herself to her studies.

The captured murderer refused to reveal the whereabouts of his accomplices until the Chen family sent their own people.

They got the murderer out and tortured him until he was half dead.

Only after the murderer revealed the whereabouts of his other accomplices did the local police station begin a full-scale manhunt for him.

Before we knew it, half a year had passed.

During this period, Chen Jiayi has been studying diligently and working hard to improve herself.

She greeted Aunt Wang with a smile, washed her hands, and sat down at the dining table.

The landline rang. Aunt Wang was cooking in the kitchen, and Chen Jiayi got up to answer the phone.

"Hello, are you Chen Qiming?"

"I am his daughter. What can I do for you?" Chen Jiayi asked curiously, seeing that the call seemed to be from the police station, wondering if the murderer had been caught.

"Here's the thing, we've successfully apprehended the murderer. He's currently being escorted back to Haicheng and should arrive tomorrow without any unforeseen circumstances."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiayi burst into tears.

"What did you say?"

Seeing Chen Jiayi so emotional, Lan Meixuan looked up in a daze.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jiayi suddenly burst into tears.

Lan Meixuan was terrified when she saw this.

"What's wrong? Who called? Why are you crying like that?"

Chen Jiayi sobbed as she told Lan Meixuan what the police station had said. Lan Meixuan trembled all over, and tears streamed down her face.

This was a day the Chen family had waited for far too long.

Officially, the local police station is searching for them, but the Chen family is also searching for them privately.

However, due to the lack of information, every time they were just one step away from catching the murderer, the murderer would always manage to escape in advance.

In the past six months, Lan Meixuan has lost a lot of weight because the murderer has not been caught.

Although her mother appeared relaxed and natural in front of Chen Jiayi, Chen Jiayi knew that the deaths of her maternal grandparents had dealt her a heavy blow.

When Chen Qiming arrived home, he was shocked to see the mother and daughter hugging and crying with Aunt Wang.

After learning the reason, even Chen Qiming, a grown man, had tears in his eyes.

It's been half a year!

The Chen family has been in a somber mood ever since this incident.

Fortunately, the real culprit has finally been caught!

Because the case is so serious, it has been transferred from the local police station to a specialized investigation department.

Once the investigation is complete, the case will officially go to trial.

The entire Chen family appeared in court. Looking at the criminal suspects on the stage, they felt a surge of grief and indignation.

One of the suspects was very young and good-looking; he lazily looked around.

The police officer guarding the suspect warned him again.

The man didn't take it seriously; his gaze swept over Chen Jiayi sitting below.

Chen Jiayi's gaze involuntarily met his, her eyes revealing a look of disgust.

Then, the man slowly curled the corners of his lips into a provocative expression.

Chen Jiayi's face darkened as she stared at the suspect.

She remembered a robbery and murder that occurred in Beicheng in her previous life, which caused a sensation throughout the country!

After hearing the judge announce the verdict for the criminal suspect, Chen Jiayi appeared dazed.

This young criminal has only been incarcerated for five years?

She remembered that in her previous life, it was about five years later, when a robbery and murder occurred in Beicheng... The perpetrator was this young man!

Chen Jiayi closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

She was at a loss for what to do, feeling dazed, confused, and uneasy.

Lan Meixuan, who was immersed in the emotion of finally getting rid of her father's killer, did not notice Chen Jiayi's strange behavior at all.

But Chen Qiming noticed it.

He glanced at Chen Jiayi, then at the arrogant criminal on the stage.

Chen Qiming's eyes darkened, and he patted Chen Jiayi's shoulder.

Chen Jiayi came to her senses and saw that most of the people around her had left.

She got up and left with her parents.

As night fell, Chen Jiayi took the initiative to enter her father's study.

Chen Qiming was already waiting for her in the study when Chen Jiayi came in.
