Don't believe that old man.
Who is she talking about?
Jin Ye?
Is there something wrong with Master Jin?
How could that be?
Jin Ye is a close friend of mine, someone who has gone through thick and thin with me despite our age difference!
But that's how people are; once suspicion takes hold in their hearts, they're like a shattered mirror.
Even the best repairman will leave a crack.
This reminds me of all the situations I encountered when I was with Jin Ye.
He had a grudge against my grandfather, yet he helped me.
He told me many things about the former richest man.
He also found out about Ruiwei Village and sent me there.
And then there was the time I sneaked into the richest man's house and encountered the burial demon.
I found it strange that we were ambushed by that person in the shadows and almost died at the hands of the Burial Demon.
I walked in front of Jin Ye, and he walked behind me.
But I was the one who was attacked first.
I didn't think much of it at the time.
Now that I think about it carefully, it suddenly feels a bit terrifying.
Even if we were to attack, we should attack Master Jin, who is walking behind me, first.
It's like two people being chased by an assassin. Would the assassin skip the last one and kill the first one who runs away?
This is completely illogical.
One more thing.
I asked Jin Ye if he had seen the person who attacked us.
But Mr. Jin said he didn't see it.
That's completely impossible.
unless……
The one who ambushed me was Jin Ye himself!!!
He's been acting all along!
Also, Grandma Sun once told me something: "It's not necessarily a ghost that wants to harm me!"
If it's not a ghost, then it must be a person?
It's fine if you don't think about it, but once you start thinking about it, my scalp gets a little tingly.
I wanted to ask Zeng Wei's cousin what was wrong with Jin Ye, but this girl seemed to be constipated, as she couldn't come out for a long time.
Just as I was about to knock on the door, the person who had been waiting for me on the first floor got impatient and came up to find me.
"Go to the toilet and leave quickly. Fifth Master has something to tell you, so don't make things difficult for me."
I sighed helplessly and had no choice but to go downstairs with him.
After all, I can't just kick open the door, drag Zeng Wei's cousin out while she's taking a dump, and ask her if Jin Ye has a problem, can I?
When I went downstairs, there were already colorful little flags planted next to Suqin's body.
However, no one, including Fifth Master, glanced at the corpse; they all looked at Luo Tianhe.
Behind Luo Tianhe stood more than twenty people, including the three guys that Su Mingyang and I fought last time.
Everyone was carrying either a steel pipe or a machete.
Sixth Uncle and Luo Tianhe were facing off, with many villagers behind him, all holding weapons.
Zeng Wei, who was trying to mediate between the two sides, had a stiff smile on his face.
However, Luo Tianhe and Uncle Liu were fighting with the underworld for territory, and neither was willing to give an inch.
The argument was all about me.
For a moment, it felt somewhat absurd to me.
Two men almost got into a fight over me.
If my gender were reversed, it would be like an idol drama, but now...
Why does it feel a little creepy?
In the end, it was Fifth Master who stepped forward to speak.
"Since neither of you is willing to compromise, then how about this, Xiao Liu, before the burial tomorrow, have that young man keep vigil for your Suqin for one night."
"If Suqin comes back to life, it means her death is related to this young man, and then you can do whatever you want with him."
"If he didn't come back to life, it means Suqin's death has nothing to do with him. Don't make things difficult for him, what do you think?"
Uncle Liu did not object to this point.
I could tell that he knew Suqin's death had nothing to do with me, but Suqin did die under my bed after all.
Rumors spread quickly in the village, and since he still had to live there, he needed to give the villagers an explanation.
However, Luo Tianhe was not happy about it.
He looked at Fifth Master with a displeased expression.
"My brother and that woman are not related at all, why should he keep vigil for her? Besides..."
Luo Tianhe paused for a moment and then said, "You don't look very big, but you speak with great magnanimity. You said if Suqin comes back to life, my brother will be at her mercy? Go to hell! Forget about her coming back to life, even if her family's ancestral graves are blown up, it has nothing to do with my brother. Anyone who dares to touch my brother, I'll deal with them!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Liu, who had just calmed down, instantly lost his temper again.
Pointing at Luo Tianhe's nose, he cursed, "Who the hell said their ancestral grave was blown up?"
He wasn't intimidated even when Luo Tianhe's men weren't there, let alone now that his brothers are here, he doesn't take Uncle Liu seriously at all.
"Your family's ancestral graves!"
"You...you say it again!" Uncle Liu trembled with anger.
"What? Can't you hear me? If you still can't hear me, I'll carve it on your tombstone as your epitaph!"
When I saw that the two sides were about to fight, I quickly went to act as a peacemaker.
Luo Tianhe called more than twenty people, but this was in someone else's village, and he was the one who suffered.
I hurriedly announced loudly that I would keep vigil for Suqin tonight.
“You…” Luo Tianhe’s eyes widened.
It's anger.
I shook my head at him, signaling him to stop talking.
"good."
Uncle Liu clapped his hands: "If Suqin can be buried normally tomorrow, then it means that none of this has anything to do with you."
After saying that, he probably feared I would change my mind, so he quickly went upstairs.
"Damn it, you coward!"
Luo Tianhe was furious and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"How could I have such a cowardly brother like you? What's there to be afraid of? At worst, I'll just die. I've drunk the strongest liquor and played with the most beautiful women. Even if I die now, it'll be worth it."
I patted him on the shoulder and said thank you: "Brother Luo, we're in the village. If we really fight them, we'll be at a disadvantage. Besides, we're here to investigate Zeng the richest man. There's no need to cause trouble. With Master Jin here, everything will be fine."
