Upon hearing this, Yunwei's smile vanished instantly, replaced by shock and disbelief.

His eyes were wide open, and his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something but was speechless for a moment.

Xiaomi turned to me and said urgently, "Chen Yan, didn't you say you took pictures of Yunwei's parents' corpses? Quickly show them to Yunwei so she can see the true, vicious face of Old Madam Sun!"

I was originally planning to hold back for now and go to Grandma Sun's house to find out what was going on.

But now that Xiaomi has made things clear, I feel there's no need to hide it anymore.

I took out the photos I had taken before and handed them to Yunwei.

The moment Yunwei saw the photo, the expression on her face froze.

His eyes were filled with shock, pain, and confusion; his lips trembled uncontrollably, and it took him a long time to finally manage to utter a single sentence.

"This... How is this possible? Didn't Grandma Sun keep saying that my parents' bodies couldn't be found? Could it be that their deaths three years ago weren't an accident..."

Her voice grew softer and softer until it was finally replaced by a sob.

After saying this, Yunwei could no longer control her emotions. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she ran out crying.

"Yunwei!"

Xiaomi and I exchanged a glance and hurriedly chased after them.

Yunwei did not run towards Lingmei's house, but instead rushed straight to Grandma Sun's house.

Judging from her desperate appearance, she clearly wanted to personally confirm whether her parents' bodies were really hidden there.

Along the way, many villagers saw Yunwei's distraught appearance and asked her with concern.

"Yunwei, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Why is this girl acting like this? Could she have gotten into some kind of trouble?"

"Girl, don't scare your aunt! What happened?"

But Yunwei was filled with anger and sorrow at the moment and had no mind to pay attention to them.

They ran to Grandma Sun's house like a gust of wind.

But who would have thought the door was locked tight? She tried everything she could, pulling and tugging, but the door was as if it were welded shut, and wouldn't budge.

I rushed over and pulled Yunwei away.

"I'll do it!"

I took several steps back, mustered all my strength, and kicked the tightly closed door hard.

With a "bang".

The door was kicked open, and wood chips flew everywhere.

At that moment, I couldn't care less about anything else.

Let's completely break ties with Grandma Sun; the truth must come out to the world anyway.

"It's inside!"

I pointed to the room where the body had been found earlier.

Yunwei was now blinded by anger and grief, and rushed in like a madman, like a beast out of control.

But as soon as she entered the house, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

I followed closely behind and witnessed that unexpected scene—

There was an extra lock on the wardrobe.

I remember it clearly; when I came here before, the wardrobe was open, completely unguarded.

Now, a rusty iron lock hangs on it, with a yellowed talisman pasted on the lock.

It was obvious that Grandma Sun had returned and discovered that the wardrobe had been opened.

"Let's go quickly! Grandma Sun knows we've been here!"

Just as I was about to leave with Yunwei and Xiaomi, there were three knocks on the closet door.

"Bang bang bang—"

here we go again!

I inwardly groaned.

Yunwei involuntarily took several steps back.

Xiaomi was also startled by the sudden noise, her face paling. She screamed in terror and quickly hid behind me like a frightened bird.

However, just a second later, Yunwei seemed to be suddenly driven by some force, and she rushed forward, pounding on the wardrobe with both hands and screaming in anguish.

"Dad, Mom, is that you? I've come to save you! Are you inside?"

As she spoke, Yunwei searched around the room and finally found a dusty iron hammer.

I knew what she was up to the moment I saw her look.

"Yunwei, calm down, this wardrobe..."

Before I could finish speaking, Yunwei pushed me away forcefully.

She raised the hammer high and slammed it down on the lock.

"Bang—"

"Bang bang—"

Thanks to Yunwei's tireless efforts, the lock finally gave way and was smashed open with a "snap".

With a creak, the wardrobe that held a secret for so long slowly opened.

A strong stench of decay hit us as two corpses lay exposed before the three of us.

These two corpses are very different from the ones I saw before.

The mask made of copper coins on his face was gone, replaced by countless red threads.

The red threads were densely intertwined, like a huge and terrifying spider web, completely enveloping the two corpses.

At the intersection of the red lines, copper coins were also hanging.

"dad--"

"mom--"

Upon seeing the two corpses, Yunwei's last line of defense collapsed instantly. Unable to contain her grief any longer, she rushed forward and frantically pulled at the red threads with both hands.

I had a bad feeling in my heart, realizing that things might be getting out of control. I wanted to stop her, but it was too late.

Yunwei pulled hard with both hands, the red thread snapped, and the copper coins fell to the ground with a "clatter".

The moment the red thread broke, the eyes of the two corpses snapped open.

I was startled and quickly shielded Yunwei and Xiaomi behind me.

However, what happened next left me speechless.
