“This is not normal, Han Xiao. Continue the investigation. I need to know the truth about what happened back then.”

More than 20 years ago, my aunt died at the hands of Lu Qing, and the two families, who were originally on good terms, became enemies because of this incident.

Now it has been discovered that my aunt is not dead, but what exactly happened?

Why would she want to hurt Bu Yi?

No, he has to go back to China. Even if no one else tells him, his grandparents definitely know about it.

That afternoon, Ji Yan returned to the Ji family's old residence.

In the living room, both Mr. and Mrs. Ji sat listlessly on the sofa, not even noticing when Ji Yan walked in.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I'm back."

Only when they heard Ji Yan's voice did the two of them look up at him, their eyes still showing some surprise. Old Master Ji then looked behind him and found that he had returned alone.

"Where are your parents? Why did you come back alone?"

"Grandpa, I came back specifically because there's something I want to ask you."

Grandpa Ji beckoned him to sit down before replying, "What is it that made you come all this way back?"

"Aunt Ji Lan, is she really dead?"

As soon as he spoke, the entire hall fell silent. The two old men exchanged a silent glance, realizing that he knew too.

"She's not dead, she's alive and well," Old Master Ji said with a heavy sigh.

He sent many people to search, but there was still no news. He didn't know if she was safe or not.

"What exactly happened back then? You only told me that the Lu family killed my aunt, but you didn't tell me why it happened. What hatred did the Lu family have for us that would make my aunt not even spare a child?"

“Your aunt has liked Lu Qing for a very long time, but Lu Qing likes Xia Changhuan. Because of her love turned to hatred, she repeatedly caused trouble for them. Later, she even secretly took Fu Ying away and abandoned her alone abroad. A kind couple adopted her. Later, the couple died and handed her over to your parents. So she went from being the daughter of the Lu family to a member of our Ji family.”

"You're saying that Yingying disappeared when she was little because her aunt took her away?" Ji Yan was originally referring to the fact that she would hurt Buyi, but she didn't expect that even Yingying's disappearance was her doing.

"Or are you talking about which child?"

"Grandpa, Yingying gave birth to a baby girl named Buyi. It seems that Auntie is going to harm that child."

"That's impossible. She's already been imprisoned. How could she possibly harm Yingying's child? Besides, when did Yingying get married? How come we didn't know?"

Grandpa Ji has seen countless big events and can be said to remain calm and composed in the face of adversity.

Today, however, I was shocked and panicked by these two things: Yingying not only got married, but also had a daughter.

And Ji Lan actually wants to harm Yingying's daughter?

Even the old lady felt it was somewhat unrealistic. "Yan'er, are both of these things you said true?"

Ji Yan didn't speak, but nodded heavily, thinking to himself, "Grandpa said Aunt was imprisoned, what does that mean?"

Grandpa Ji noticed his confusion and told him about the photo, "I originally thought it was Lu Qing who did it, but now I'm pretty sure it wasn't him."

"Grandpa, that's how Aunt came back to life. Didn't you arrange her funeral back then?"

The old lady's memory instantly returned to the year Ji Lan died, when she was in great pain and wished she could die with her daughter.

In order to take care of her, Old Master Ji entrusted Ji Lingchuan with handling the funeral arrangements, and he was responsible for the follow-up matters.

"So, the last person to see Aunt was Ji Lingchuan."

An unbelievable guess surfaced in Ji Yan's mind: Could all of this be something she orchestrated herself?

After all, she was the one who hated the Lu family, while the Ji family did not stand by her side but instead sent her abroad.

Is it possible that she hated the Lu and Ji families, and therefore staged this performance to worsen the relationship between the two families?

He could only keep this guess to himself and dared not tell his grandfather, since there was no evidence to support it. However, he would investigate whether his guess was true or not.

Aunt, I hope you won't let people down.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I have to go back to Country A, so I won't stay any longer."

Since she last appeared near the Lu family's residence, she should be able to find some clues when she returns to Country A.

At the same time, Han Xiao also sent over the latest information he had found.

"President Ji, she is currently in Country C, but we still cannot find her exact location."

"Continue the investigation, with a focus on country C."

......

The plane landed in Country C.

He promised to set foot on this land once again.

They just came over not long ago and beat up Fu Xiao; I didn't expect them to come back so soon.

This mission is really difficult, even more difficult than fighting Fu Xiao.

Ji Lan, I hope you don't hide too deep. I want to finish my business as soon as possible and then go back to Country A to live my leisurely life.

She had just arrived at the airport entrance when she saw a black Jeep. Without even checking who the driver was, she got in.

The moment her bottom touched the seat, a soft voice came from beside her, "Miss, this isn't how you hitchhike."

"Who?" Xu Nuo instantly raised her arms and crossed them in front of her chest, turning to look at the person beside her. "You... how could you be?"

She stared in shock, her heart skipping a beat. How could Fu Xiao be in this car?

Fu Xiao hadn't even looked at her properly before, but this exclamation made him slowly raise his head, and his gaze towards Xu Nuo turned scrutinizing.
