Chapter 440 Finding the Murderer Who Killed My Mother
"Because many of the things I'm doing now are somewhat dangerous, I don't want to drag you down with me. If I end up hurting you, I won't have a husband anymore, and I might feel guilty for the rest of my life. When the time is right, I will definitely tell you the whole truth. I don't have much of a guard up against you; I just simply don't want to hurt you."
Fu Yanzun wouldn't force her, since there's no such thing as a forced sale. Since she had her own plans, he respected her decision.
"I won't force you to talk about what you don't want to say, so just talk about what you can say!"
Tang Wan'er turned over and found a position that she felt comfortable in.
"If you suddenly ask me to talk about this, I don't know where to start. Why don't you ask me any questions? I'll answer whatever I can."
Fu Yanzun had many questions in his mind, so he asked them one by one.
"What is your real identity? Can you tell me?"
Tang Wan'er nodded, "I can say, but not everything. I've had a special ability since I was little; I can see what others are looking at."
Sometimes, things that are unseen can manipulate things that others cannot see. Then I met many people similar to myself, and I organized them into my own little group. For things like today, we'd call on them for help. I'm their leader, so they all call me Boss Tang.
Fu Yanzun nodded, which was about what he had guessed. "Then what is your purpose in coming to this deserted village?"
"Find the murderer who killed my mother back then."
This answer surprised Fu Yanzun a bit, and it was followed by a deep sense of heartache.
"You mean your mother was murdered back then?"
Whenever the events of that year are mentioned, Tang Wan'er feels as if there is a thorn in her heart, causing her great pain.
She didn't want to recall those horrific scenes at all.
But even if she doesn't think about it, she often dreams of that nightmare in the middle of the night.
Tang Wan'er tightened her grip on the blanket; this was a pain she would probably never be able to erase in her lifetime.
"I saw someone kill my mother with my own eyes."
"Yes, but because I was very scared, and it was nighttime with the lights off, I couldn't see the person's face clearly, let alone whether it was a man or a woman. But I knew that the knife he was holding was definitely not an ordinary knife."
Fu Yanzun could clearly sense the change in Tang Wan'er's emotions; her body was stiffening and her temperature was dropping.
He held her tightly, hoping to offer her some warmth and ease her already wounded heart.
"Not an ordinary knife?"
Tang Wan'er took a deep breath, feeling very cold, so she snuggled closer to Fu Yanzun, hoping to find some warmth and comfort.
"I clearly saw that person stab my mother in the chest, but the next day there were no marks on her body. The forensic examination said that my mother died of a sudden heart attack."
But my mother has always been in good health; she has never had heart disease. How could she have died from a heart attack? And what were those things I saw? They don't believe me. I think I'm just a child, and maybe I had a nightmare that confused me with reality.
