Chapter 75 When did it happen
After being taken to the police station today, Uncle Zhang finally understood what was going on.
Thinking of his wife's evasive eyes and his son who stayed at his mother-in-law's house and didn't come back, Uncle Zhang felt very disappointed.
These mother and son are courting death!
Aunt Zhang overturned the teacup in panic. She didn't expect her husband to find out what Dabao had done and was afraid that he would get angry.
Without caring about the broken tea bowl on the ground, she quickly stood up to persuade her husband
"Boss, it's okay, it's okay. As long as the Cui family doesn't admit it and our family doesn't admit it, then no one will know. The families of those guys who caused the trouble together don't dare to say anything. The Ye family has no evidence."
Uncle Zhang shook off Aunt Zhang's hand and pushed her hard against the door frame.
His neck veins bulged, his eyes were bloodshot, and he pointed at Aunt Zhang and said angrily:
"The Ye family's kid isn't stupid. She insisted to death that it was Dabao who did it. What can you do? The Ye family's granddaughter spent all her money on her coffin in the hospital. How can we compensate her? You offered your life as compensation to the Ye family, but they wouldn't want it!"
Aunt Zhang fell to the ground in pain, gasping for air, and said shamelessly
"Then what do you say we should do? Besides denying it to death, what else can we do?"
"You! Do you think the police can't find out? The Zhang family is finished!"
Tonight in Xiahe Village, several families stayed up all night, fearing that they would be sent to jail.
Repulse Bay, Hong Kong
Today, the Li brothers came to visit and brought the latest news about the Ye family, as well as a letter that took nearly a month to arrive in Hong Kong from the mainland.
Li Tianqin bought a new red Buick sedan. The body of the car was shiny and it was obvious that it was well taken care of.
After parking outside the villa's lobby, Li Tianqin got out of the car, swung the car keys, and handed the keys to the Ye family bodyguard. The bodyguard skillfully helped him park the car and also did some maintenance on it.
"Tsk tsk, the life of a rich man is so beautiful, even his car has someone to serve him."
"Mr. Li, this car is pretty good. Is it newly made in the United States?"
Ye Lin took a shortcut from the back garden to greet Li Tianqin, holding a carp that he had just caught from the pond.
"Oh, compared to Ye Sheng, my car is just a junky little car. With my dad around, I'll never be able to drive a sports car in my lifetime."
Li Tianqin's father is the Chief Inspector of Police, which is considered a high-ranking official in Hong Kong. The Independent Commission Against Corruption is now conducting strict investigations, and Li Tianqin doesn't want to cause trouble for his father by showing off his sports car. If he wants to drive a sports car, he can only wait for his father to retire.
"Mr. Ye, the fish you have here are obviously different from the ones you get at the market. Look at their slippery skin. Fish that have been soaked in Repulse Bay look plump. Could it be that the water from Repulse Bay is good for health? I've never drunk any water from Repulse Bay."
Ye Lin knocked the fish that was flapping in his hand onto the Roman column in the living room with a "bang".
The off-white column was instantly imprinted with the shape of a wet fish head.
"Then stay for lunch and try both the water and the fish."
Ye Lin handed the unconscious fish to Aunt Liu and casually instructed, "Aunt Liu, you don't need to use air-in water to stew the fish today. Just use the water from the tap."
Hearing that the water was airlifted in, Li Tianqin was unhappy. "Hey, why are you using the tap for me to drink?"
"Didn't you say you haven't tasted the water from Repulse Bay?" Ye Lin joked with him and asked Li Tianqin to sit down.
"Then I still prefer to eat air-freighted food. What kind of water does your family drink, Mr. Ye?" Although Li Tianqin also likes to eat, he would at most fly out to eat ice cream or something, and he was not particular about the water.
"Alpine or Fijian, which one do you want?"
Ye Lin took the letter handed over by Li Tianqin and pondered the rough envelope. The surface of the envelope became wrinkled after a long period of transportation, and some places were worn and cracked, and the white paper inside could be vaguely seen.
Ye Lin was not in the mood to listen to what Li Tianqin said. He stood up and patted his shoulder, indicating that he would go back to his room to read the letter.
Ye Lin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his bedroom, looking at the letter that had traveled across half of China and took more than half a month to arrive in Hong Kong.
The outer envelope looked like it was sent from Guangdong Province, the font was in Cantonese and there was a customs clearance stamp.
Ye Lin carefully used a paper cutter to cut the fragile envelope paper bit by bit, cut open the envelope and took out the contents, which included five sheets of homework papers and a thick stack of banknotes.
There are scattered banknotes of one cent, fifty cents, one dollar, five dollars, and ten dollars, each one is neatly arranged, and it can be seen that they are well taken care of by the previous owner.
Ye Lin didn't know why, but he couldn't see clearly. He rubbed his eyes with his hand, and there were some water stains on the back of his hand.
Although Ye Lin was an orphan in his previous life, his parents, whom he had never met, left him a lot of property, which was enough for him to live an ordinary life. He had never lacked anything after coming to Hong Kong, so he had never felt much for money.
But today, when he saw the few cents on the table, he felt a little tight in his chest. He seemed to really care about his family over there.
Unfolding the letter, Ye Lin's hands trembled after reading it, and the tears in his eyes could no longer be controlled and flowed down.
He never thought that his family in the mainland would treat him so well without reservation. He thought that Ye Errong had been away from home for more than 40 years, and probably only his elderly parents still cared about Ye Errong, and his brothers and sisters might have already forgotten this brother.
On the other side, there is the mother who always asks her son seven or eight times whether he has enough to eat. She tells Ye Errong that there has always been a room reserved for him at home. There is also the eldest brother who misses Ye Errong, the third brother who remembers that his second brother took out bird eggs for him, and a group of nieces and nephews who are curious about their second uncle. None of them have forgotten Ye Errong, and they have been waiting for him to come home for so many years.
There were a total of 162.60 yuan on the table. Ye Lin folded them up one by one, opened the safe behind the oil painting, and put them together with the passbook. The income in the mainland was not high, and this money was probably more than half of the Ye family's savings.
To Ye Lin, the one hundred and sixty-two yuan and sixty cents are more important than all the passbooks in the safe. This is all the love the Ye family has for Ye Errong.
Ye Lin took out a piece of letter paper and wanted to write back to Mainland. He sat at the desk for a long time but couldn't write a single word.
He was afraid and felt guilty. He was afraid of the pure love of the Ye family, afraid that they had received the previous letters and knew that Ye Errong was long gone, and even more afraid that they would know that he was a fake.
During the time he came to Hong Kong, he tried hard to avoid contact with Aunt Rebecca and Lord Fang. Except for eating, Ye Lin tried to avoid them as much as possible.
He knew that he was a fake, and the person they loved was the original young master, not him, but now he was somewhat obsessed with it.
He gave money to the Ye family, so why shouldn't they just spend it honestly? Why should they be nice to him? Why should they love him? He is not the one they love.
When Ye Lin calmed down, went to the bathroom to wash his face and went downstairs again, Li Tianqin was already waiting for dinner at the dining table.
Li Tianqin saw Ye Lin coming out of the elevator, sitting on the chair and waving vigorously, signaling him to come over quickly.
"Mr. Ye, come and serve the meal! I'm starving."
Ah Hui pulled out a chair, Ye Lin sat down and put a napkin on his legs.
"Eat if you're hungry. There are no such rules at home."
Li Tianqin inhaled violently
"This Fiji fish stewed in shallow water is really good! I feel like my mouth has become more noble today."
After reading the letter, Ye Lin was not in the mood to eat. He just set the plate and ate a few bites with him. Seeing that Li Tianqin had almost finished eating, he put down his chopsticks and asked him how his investigation into the Ye family was going.
The fish was so delicious that Li Tianqin almost forgot about the important matter. He spat out the fishbone and grabbed a napkin to wipe his mouth casually.
"I've asked around. Who is it? Oh, yes, your cousin. The third brother's daughter is getting a divorce. And what should we do about this? Your eldest uncle's cousin's daughter was injured and hospitalized. She hasn't woken up yet."
"When did it happen?"
Ye Lin couldn't control the volume.
He called in two bodyguards outside the door.
Looking at the two fierce-looking foreign muscular men, Li Tianqin was so scared that he said tremblingly, "If the Hong Kong Customs replied to me this morning, then the news from the mainland must have been two or three days ago."
