Having eaten her fill, Bai Yajing was in the mood to talk to her family about what had happened that day.
After she finished speaking, everyone in the family looked gloomy and indignant.
The maternal grandparents were reminded of their son who had died young, and their eyes welled up with tears.
Grandpa pounded his chest, his eyes filled with malice, "These bastards!"
Grandma looked up with teary eyes, "My poor child... he was ruined by those scoundrels!"
Bai Yajing was also distressed, and she could only gently comfort the two elderly people.
"Grandpa and Grandma, you still have me. I will always be with you." The death of my uncle has always been a thorn in the hearts of everyone in the family.
Grandpa Bai and his uncle were also there to comfort him.
"Death is inevitable for everyone; some deaths are heavier than Mount Tai, while others are lighter than a feather. That child sacrificed his life for his country, and we should all be proud of him!"
Those who have left are gone, and those who are alive must continue to live. He also felt sorry for the outstanding child of the Kang family, but no matter how sad he was, that child would never come back.
Grandpa and Grandma wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes, exhaled a heavy breath, and composed themselves.
"Nannan, just do it your way. Give the list to that kid Kang An and have him investigate thoroughly!"
Bai Yajing nodded solemnly, "Okay!"
Old Master Bai suggested, "Old Master Xiao has been involved in the military for many years. Don't let his current downfall fool you; his connections and influence are not to be underestimated. He knows exactly how deep and murky the waters are there."
"Call Kang An tomorrow and have him come back. You two can go see Old Master Xiao together. With his advice, you'll achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Bai Yajing agreed with this. It was also a good opportunity to discuss Li Xingyue's matter with the old man, so he would have a better understanding of the situation.
"Okay, I'll take care of it first thing tomorrow morning. Grandpa, is your leg feeling better? You can't hide it from me next time!"
When Grandpa Bai heard her mention her leg, he immediately smiled, got up, and walked around a couple of times to show her. "Your medicine really works! Look, I'm perfectly fine now! You're so young, don't worry too much, spend more time playing with your friends."
He didn't want his granddaughter to worry about him; she had just come of age and was in the prime of her life, so he couldn't waste it taking care of an elderly person.
Bai Yajing couldn't do anything about him, so she could only be more careful in the future.
Seeing that he was indeed alright, and with her uncle explaining the old man's condition, she finally felt relieved.
"Alright, it's getting late. Go and get some rest. We have things to do tomorrow!"
Grandpa Bai and his uncle went back to the neighboring courtyard to rest.
Grandma and Grandpa made a makeshift bed for Da Bai so it could sleep in the living room.
"Bai Bai, when you wake up tomorrow, don't go out yet, so as not to scare the village children."
Adults aren't afraid, but children are.
Big White can understand human speech, and it made two "woof woof" sounds as if it had agreed.
Grandma was so happy that she rubbed and rubbed Bai Bai's skin. "Bai Bai is such a good girl. It's too late today, so I just stewed some meat for you to eat. Grandma will roast meat for you tomorrow. I remember you loved roast meat when you were little, hehehe."
Upon hearing this, Da Bai immediately drooled and rubbed against his grandmother repeatedly.
Grandpa looked on helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, let's go back to the room and rest. It's not going to run away. You can be more interested in it tomorrow."
Grandma rolled her eyes at him, reluctantly said goodbye to Da Bai, and went back into the house.

When it was late at night, Bai Yajing placed the three corpses on a cart in the backyard and covered them with straw mats.
Upon arriving at Da Bai's den, he didn't forget to remind her, "Bai, keep an eye on those three in the backyard, don't let any wild animals take them."
Big White covered his face with his paws, not wanting to pay attention to her. She was heartless for not letting a wolf rest properly after a long day.
But Bai Yajing knew it had listened, so she went back inside to rest.
She wouldn't have bothered to bring it out if she wasn't afraid the police would discover something amiss during an autopsy.
