After burying Yan Tangxue, it was time for dinner, but Yan Muhuai and Lin Ce had no appetite.

"You still need to eat something. I'll go out and buy some. You can lean on the sofa and rest for a while." Lin Ce could see that Yan Muhuai was very tired now.

Yan Muhuai didn't say anything, but just waved his hand weakly to indicate that he agreed with Lin Ce's proposal.

Lin Ce went back to his room to get his household registration book. The trip took a long time, and it was almost dark when he came back.

"Brother, I have changed my name. From now on, I will take your surname and be called Yan Ce!" After saying that, he showed the new household registration book to Yan Muhuai.

He is still young and has not yet officially obtained an ID card. In addition, with such a thing happening in his family, it is not difficult to change his name.

Yan Muhuai didn't object to his behavior, but he emphasized: "You have your mother's surname, not mine!"

"It's all the same, all the same." Yan Ce said arguingly.

The two of them ate something casually, and then Yan Ce packed up and went back with Yan Muhuai.

He had no plans to come back, so he just handed the house over to the agent.

The agent told them that although the location was good, a murder had occurred in the house, so the price would definitely not be too high.

Yan Ce didn't care about the price, he just didn't want to come back and be saddened by the scene.

As soon as he returned to the locust tree courtyard, Yan Ce's friends and classmates called him again and asked him to go out and play, probably to comfort him.

"Go ahead, indulge yourself for one last day. You have to go to school starting tomorrow. If you skip classes to surf the Internet again, I will break your legs." Yan Muhuai warned with a stern face.

Yan Ce's mind instantly flashed back to the image of Yan Muhuai breaking three of Lin Jinshui's ribs with a kick, and he shuddered subconsciously, "I won't dare to do that again."

He had skipped classes before just to stop his parents from arguing, but now there was no need to do so.

Inside the restaurant, Chen Xiao, who had been running around all day, was having dinner with Rong Jin along with his secretary.

All the dishes were served, and Chen Xiao politely stood up to pour wine for Rong Jin. Before the latter could refuse, Chen Xiao knocked over the bottle because he was absent-minded.

The red wine spread across the table like blood, making people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Mayor Chen, you have been worried since this afternoon. Did something happen? If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Mr. Rong doesn't need you to accompany him here." Ming Fei said to Chen Xiao after calling the waiter to clean up.

Although she is just an assistant, she can still make decisions for Rong Jin on such small matters.

Besides, Rong Jin doesn't like this kind of social occasions.

"I..." Chen Xiao wanted to struggle again, but just as he opened his mouth, the phone in his pocket started vibrating again.

Rong Jin now spoke up himself and said, "Disperse."

Chen Xiao felt as if he had been pardoned after hearing his words. He apologized repeatedly, took out his cell phone, answered the call while walking out.

"It's been a whole day and he still hasn't woken up? What did the doctor say? If he really can't wake up, send him to the hospital... Okay, okay, don't cry, I'll be back soon..." Chen Xiao's voice became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

Ming Fei withdrew her gossiping ears and asked Rong Jin curiously, "Mayor Chen, is there something going on at home? He's really been holding it in. He's so worried that you, the big boss, will run away that he's ignored the urgent family matters and insisted on spending half the day with you."

Rong Jin was eating and did not answer Ming Fei.

No matter what happened in Chen Xiao's family, since he made the choice, he had to bear the price.

After finishing the food on his plate slowly, Rong Jin said to Ming Fei, "Investigate the murder case that happened today. I want to meet the murderer."

Ming Fei, who was surprised for a while when Rong Jin asked Yan Muhuai to change his name if they met again, was actually used to hearing him say this.

"Okay, I'll contact him right away." Ming Fei stopped eating and started dealing with the matters assigned by the boss.

On the other side, when Chen Xiao hurriedly picked up someone and took him home, he happened to see the family bodyguards stopping people at the door.

"What are you two doing?" Chen Xiao got out of the car with the master he invited and asked the people who were pushing and shoving.

Yan Ce saw a man dressed as a Taoist priest standing next to Chen Xiao, and his eyes widened immediately. "What's going on? Did Chen Sangluo really encounter a ghost?"

This information was leaked by the bodyguard when he and Zhao Wang were arguing with the bodyguard just now.

The bodyguard said that Chen Sangluo has not woken up since he came back and went to sleep last night. The family doctor came to see him but couldn't find anything wrong. Instead, the servants of the Chen family gossiped privately that the young master was possessed by an evil spirit.

Chen Sangluo and Zhao Wang are both good brothers of Yan Ce. Last night, they accompanied him on an adventure to relax.

"Hello Uncle Chen, we are Sang Luo's classmates. We had made an appointment with him to go out and play tonight. We called him but he didn't answer, so we came here." Zhao Wang is a tall and thin man with curly hair and small eyes. He is obviously much more polite to his elders than Yan Ce.

But Chen Xiao's face didn't look good. "Thank you for coming to see him, but he's fine. You can go back first."

As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public, not to mention that he is the mayor of Huaicheng. If this matter were to be made public, would he still have any face left?

"Uncle Chen, can you let us in to take a look? We will feel uneasy if we don't see him, and we won't be able to sleep when we go back." Yan Ce was not so persistent at first, but when he heard the bodyguard say that Chen Sangluo might have encountered a ghost, and now he saw Chen Xiao bringing the Taoist priest back, this strengthened his determination to meet Chen Sangluo.

"No need, ask them to leave." Chen Xiao gave orders directly to the bodyguards.

After the bodyguard stopped the two high school students, Chen Xiao brought the master he had invited back into the villa gate.

Yan Ce and Zhao Wang couldn't get in, but they didn't leave. They stepped aside to discuss countermeasures.
