In front of the mound.

Wen Xia Nuan held Huo Jue's hand: "Don't be sad, since it has already happened, we can't change it."

Huo Jue held her hand in return: "A Nuan, I just think this happened too suddenly."

He recalled meeting his uncle the previous night and how he asked him to take him home, but Huo Jue refused his uncle's suggestion.

If he agreed, would his uncle not have died?

"Ajue, the past is in the past. There's no need to dwell on those trivial things now."

Wen Xia Nuan held his hand tightly: "What we should do now is to comfort your grandma."

After learning that Huo Zhiguo was in trouble, Mrs. Huo cried bitterly at home.

Huo Jue came back to his senses and his eyes fell on Wen Xia Nuan: "Let's go back."

She breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Huo Jue was willing to leave, everything would be fine.

The two returned to the village, but unexpectedly found the road full of people.

She exchanged a glance with Huo Jue and was about to walk towards the crowd when she was stopped by her third brother's shout: "Jue, Nuan, come here!"

Wen Xia Nuan and Huo Jue walked towards the third brother.

"Third brother, what's wrong?"

Wen Xiachen had also heard the news about Huo Zhiguo. When he looked at Huo Jue, he said with an unnatural expression: "Ajue, there is something I have been thinking about and I still have to tell you."

He told Huo Zhiguo about how he had gone to his home to treat his leg.

"Your uncle said that Li Mei broke his leg directly."

"When I think about it now, I'm just surprised. How could Li Mei, a good couple, treat him so harshly?"

"And I also heard that Li Mei is missing now."

Wen Xiachen said, looking at Huo Jue and said, "I have also said this to the police. I hope there will be some progress."

"Third brother, thank you very much for this matter."

Huo Jue heaved a sigh of relief: "I just hope we can find Li Mei quickly."

The three people quickly separated.

Huo Jue brought Wen Xia Nuan back home. When Mrs. Huo saw Huo Jue, she hurried forward and asked, "Ajue, has your uncle been laid to rest?"

Her eyes fell on him, and Huo Jue comforted her, "Yes, grandma, next we just have to wait for the police to catch the murderer behind this!"

"Is this even worth checking?"

The old lady gnashed her teeth and said, "Zhiguo is dead, and Li Mei is missing! She must have done something to your uncle!"

"How could Li Mei be so vicious?"

She looked at Huo Jue with a sad face and said, "Ajue, your uncle is really pitiful."

Mrs. Huo cried until her voice was almost hoarse. Huo Jue reached out to support her and comforted her, "Grandma, if it really is Li Mei, she will definitely not get any benefits once she is caught by the police."

Huo Jue's voice came, and Mrs. Huo nodded: "Yes, you are right."

Wen Xia Nuan stood aside and also advised: "Grandma, you have to take care of your body. When you recover, you can find out who the murderer is!"

"If you don't take care of yourself, all this will be in vain!"

"Yes, you're right!"

Old Mrs. Huo stopped howling and swallowed the rest of her words: "I'm tired, Jue, help me to rest."

When Huo Jue finished settling the old lady down and came out, Wen Xia Nuan was already waiting at the door: "Grandma is lying down?"

He responded, "Lie down."

"Ajue!"

Aunt Fat hurried into the house, her eyes fixed on him: "Ajue, the police are here. They said they have news about Li Mei. You should go to the village committee right away."

Wen Xia Nuan and Huo Jue exchanged a glance, then heard Auntie Pang say, "Leave the old lady to me, you go quickly."

Huo Jue and Wen Xia Nuan ran out of the house in a hurry.

Inside the village committee, the team leader stood up immediately when he saw Huo Jue coming in. "Ajue, you're just in time! This officer said he found Li Mei!"

"Are you Huo Zhiguo's relative?"

Huo Jue nodded and looked at him: "Officer, do you know where my aunt is?"

"Li Mei is now under the control of our police."

Huo Jue pursed his lips: "Then, can I go see her?"

The police nodded and said, "I found you just to tell you this."

"Go check on Li Mei. We caught her and she's not in a good mental state."

"But she kept saying she wanted to see you."

Huo Jue nodded: "Shall we leave now?"

"Can."

The police walked out, and Huo Jue was about to leave, but Wen Xia Nuan held his hand: "I'm going with you now."

She pursed her lips, and Huo Jue responded, "Let's go then."

He walked forward, and Wen Xia Nuan followed beside him, feeling a little uneasy.

The three of them quickly arrived at the town's police station.

Wen Xia Nuan sat on a chair in the corridor, looking at the closed interrogation door. She bit her lip and waited patiently.

Inside the room, there is an iron fence.

Huo Jue sat outside and Li Mei sat inside.

When she saw Huo Jue appear, her mouth, which was originally whispering, closed immediately.

Huo Jue patiently looked at Li Mei with an indifferent expression: "I heard you wanted to see me."

"Aunt, what exactly happened to my uncle's death?"

Her eyes fell on him: "You want to know?"

Li Mei laughed sarcastically: "I killed him!"

Huo Jue's hands on his knees instantly clenched into fists. He stared at Li Mei with burning eyes: "Why?"

"After marrying you, my uncle has been devoted to you and obeyed you wholeheartedly. How could you have the heart to do this to me?"

Huo Jue almost squeezed these words out of his mouth.

Li Mei scoffed, "Why? If he only obeyed me, he wouldn't have rejected my request outright."

"You broke his leg, too."

Huo Jue frowned and looked at her: "Can you tell me why you are so cruel?"

"I said, I want to see Huo Chen."

Li Mei narrowed her eyes, recalling her fight with Huo Zhiguo: "He wouldn't let me go, and we were fighting each other. I accidentally broke his leg with a hammer."

"But I later found a doctor to treat him."

Li Mei's emotions instantly became tense: "If he had listened to me a little more and rejected me less, how could I have ended up killing him?"

"What do you mean by rejecting you less?"

"What do you want my uncle to do?"

Li Mei's frantic mood calmed down a little. She looked at Huo Jue indifferently: "I want Huo Chen to come back."

"But he has no solution and always mocks me, telling me not to have any aspirations!"

"Huo Jue, what's wrong with me just wanting my son back?"

Huo Jue pursed his lips and said in a hoarse voice, "So, after your uncle rejected you, you killed him?"

Li Mei shook her head. "It was when he tried to stop me from going to find my son that I decided to kill him."
