"May I take him with me?" Xiang Jin wrote.
"Sure, just register it. But you have to tell the old man that he can't sleep on the haystack anymore. Summer is coming, and there are a lot of snakes in the haystack. It would be bad if something happened."
"Thank you." Xiang Jin wrote her name on the registration form and led Grandpa Liu out of the police station.
Xiang Jin checked the route and found that taking bus number 54 would take her directly to Fengjia Village, a journey that would take an hour and a half. She took the elderly woman onto the bus and checked out rental listings along the way.
"Xiao Jin, will staying at your house disturb you?" Grandpa Liu asked somewhat nervously.
Xiang Jin shook her head, indicating that she wouldn't.
She drew a house on the paper.
"You mean you're going to find me a place to live? But I can't afford the rent." The old man sighed and lowered his head.
Xiang Jin drew two piles of money, one with more and one with less. She pointed to the pile with less.
"You mean looking for something cheap?"
Xiang Jin nodded. She thought that if she couldn't find a place to stay, she would just add some more money. She had to solve the old people's accommodation problem.
At that moment, Feng Jianian sent her a text message asking when she would be home.
Xiang Jin: "An hour and a half. Jianian, tonight we might have to take an old man home to stay. He has nowhere to go and hasn't been able to rent a house yet."
Feng Jianian: "A man? No way."
Xiang Jin: "...He was an old man, over seventy years old."
Feng Jianian: "That's a man too, no way."
Xiang Jinfo is gone.
She thought for a moment and continued typing: "But he has nowhere to go, we can't just let him sleep on the streets. Sigh, if only we could find a place to live now."
Finding a place to live is a small matter.
Feng Jianian dialed Su Ming's number: "Rent me a room right now, immediately, an old one, cheap one, and quickly."
Five minutes later, Xiang Jin's phone rang.
She listened silently until the other end finished speaking, then hung up the phone and excitedly texted back: "Jianian, I actually found a place to live!"
Within minutes, shortly after she finished speaking!
"Hmm, are you happy?"
"Happy..." But why is it such a coincidence? Has her luck really turned around?
Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. Thinking about something that has no future is pointless.
Now that they had found a place, there was no need to take Grandpa Liu back to Fengjia Village. Following the address sent by the landlord, Xiang Jin reluctantly took a taxi there and found that the rental house was fully furnished and conveniently located on the first floor.
The neighborhood is clean, it's close to Grandpa Liu's workplace, and the price is half that of similar properties—it's practically perfect.
Xiang Jin was very happy, and Grandpa Liu was also very happy to have found such a nice house.
After settling Grandpa Liu in, Xiang Jin returned to Fengjia Village.
A black Audi followed her to Fengjia Village and stopped near the bungalows.
Lu Yixuan sat in the car, her face somewhat pale.
"Xiang Jin...she lives here?" Her face was full of disbelief, and she even wondered if the driver had followed the wrong person.
Because she knew this was Murong Xiao's home, the place he lived before he returned to the Murong family, when he was still called Feng Jianian. Very few people knew this, and if it weren't for her grandfather's good relationship with the Murong family, she wouldn't have had the chance to find out.
But how could Xiang Jin possibly live here?
"Second Miss, there is absolutely no mistake, Xiang Jin lives here."
"I also asked around, and everyone said that Xiang Jin is Feng Jianian's wife, and they've been living here for more than half a year..."
Lu Yixuan's face turned even uglier.
Wife? Xiang Jin is Murong Xiao's wife?
No... this can't be real, it can't be, it's absolutely impossible!
Just then, a familiar Rolls-Royce stopped outside the bungalow. The back door opened, and Murong Xiao stepped out.
He had already disguised himself as Feng Jianian, and apart from his figure and physique, he didn't resemble Murong Xiao at all, but Lu Yixuan still recognized him.
He walked straight towards the bungalow.
Xiang Jin just came out of the bungalow.
Murong Xiao took her hand, the two smiled at each other, and then went into the house together.
Everything seemed self-evident.
"Second Miss, should we continue the investigation...?" the driver asked.
"Investigate! Why aren't you investigating!" She clenched her fists, her teeth grinding together.
She couldn't believe it, she absolutely refused to believe it. Her brother, Xiao, would never betray her. How could he possibly like someone else, especially the one who killed her sister...?
……………………
It suddenly started pouring rain that day.
Xiang Jin didn't bring an umbrella.
She had just reached the halfway point on her bike and had about 40 or 50 minutes to get home. Since the rain wasn't too heavy yet, she wanted to hurry back.
Who knew the rain would get heavier and heavier? At first, I could still squint and ride my bike, but later I couldn't even see the road. All I could see was a curtain of rain, and the road was quickly flooded.
"Second Miss, the rain is too heavy, the car is slippery, should we continue?" the driver asked Lu Yixuan. For the past few days, they had been following Xiang Jin, and had thoroughly investigated her relationship with Murong Xiao.
But that's what made her even angrier and more furious.
She's a despicable woman, she's not as good as me in any way. What makes her think she can marry Brother Xiao and become the admired Mrs. Murong?
She hated it, hated it to the core.
"Follow, why not follow... It would be best to just crash into it." It's raining so hard, and there's no one around. It would be great if she just died like this.
Once the idea took hold, it became unstoppable, and Lu Yixuan's eyes were filled with malice.
The driver was startled: "Miss, this isn't quite right..."
“If you crash into it, I’ll give you 500,000 yuan. Your elderly mother is sick and needs money, so it’s perfect for her surgery.” Lu Yixuan suddenly seized his lifeline.
The driver fell silent.
After a while, he suddenly turned a corner and crashed into Xiang Jin, who was standing by the roadside.
Xiang Jin let out a silent scream, and then she and the car plunged down the roadside embankment.
……………………
Feng Jianian returned very early.
He stood at the door, glancing at his watch every now and then, lost in thought as he stared at the road Xiang Jin had taken back.
"Young Master, it's raining so hard, Madam might be a little late." Usually, Xiang Jin would already be home by this time, but today the rain is too heavy, so she'll probably take the bus home.
"Hmm." Feng Jianian frowned.
After waiting for another half hour, Xiang Jin still hadn't returned, and Feng Jianian's brows furrowed even deeper.
Just then, Su Ming's phone rang.
"Young Master, something terrible has happened. I just received news that a major traffic accident has occurred on the way from the city to Fengjia Village. A truck lost control and crashed into a bus, resulting in heavy casualties." Su Ming hung up the phone and immediately reported the situation to him.
Feng Jianian's expression hardened: "What did you say?"
"Young Master...the bus, is Madam on board?"
Before he finished speaking, Murong Xiao had already run into the rain: "Drive!"
The two arrived at the accident scene as quickly as possible. Due to the slippery roads caused by the rain, the truck lost control, and the bus, unable to avoid it, was directly hit by a rocky outcrop on the side of the road. Two people died at the scene, and at least twenty others were injured.
The ambulance and police arrived, and the scene was chaotic, with cries of agony filling the air.
