Another bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, shattering the glass with a bang, and the wind and rain poured in.
Xin Chun slowly raised her head, and the bright lightning flashed, imprinted on her somewhat ferocious and terrifying face. Those eyes were exactly like Li Rui's eyes!
There was no panic, no fear, not even resentment inside; instead, there was an unusual calmness, as calm as a deep sea, making it impossible to see the turbulent waves within.
She stood up, turned on the bathroom heater, tilted her head back, and opened her eyes to greet the hot water.
After washing herself, she stood at the window and looked out towards the backyard. After the rain and the sun had dried, the soil would be more compact, and as long as she didn't say anything, no one would notice.
Xin Zikai only has her as a relative in Yihai. She can tell others that he went to a deserted island to collect samples, since he often goes to various uninhabited islands for research.
If they don't return, just say they might have run into trouble on the deserted island, and everything will make sense.
As long as she remains calm, no one will suspect anything.
Xin Chun's mind raced through various countermeasures, her calm demeanor belying the person who had just buried her adoptive father alive.
The next morning, she first called to tell the cleaning lady that she didn't need to come to work that day.
Then she went to the backyard to check the soil. It was very moist from the rain, and there were hardly any signs of renovation. She decided it would be better to deal with it later.
Today is Sunday, and she has plenty of time to clean the house again.
However, the bloodstains on the ground would definitely be detected if a bloodstain test were done, so we'll have to find a way to get out first and buy some corrosive cleaning agents to wash them.
Just as she was thinking of a solution, her phone suddenly rang, the sound coming from Xin Zikai's bedroom.
Her heart clenched with fear. She clutched her chest and went into his room, staring intently at his incessantly ringing phone.
I breathed a long sigh of relief after it quieted down, and then I heard the beeping of a text message.
She frowned, reached for her phone, and saw that the hospital wanted her to pick up her medical report.
Isn't the annual routine physical exam usually done in March or April? Why is it being done in January this year?
She was puzzled, so she checked his phone's call history.
The people who have called recently, besides Xu Ziyu and her, are lawyer Zhang Qiang and manager Wang Quan.
She did know Attorney Zhang; he was the consultant lawyer at the Su Yan Foundation.
But who is this Wang Quan?
With questions in mind, Xin Chun took the landline number and dialed Wang Quan's number.
A voice, so gentle it was almost sickening, came through the microphone, tinged with a hint of a smile: "Hello, this is Jincheng Insurance..."
Xin Chun hung up the phone, her brows furrowed. Lawyer, medical examination, insurance...
It seems that an answer is about to emerge.
She put down the phone and started rummaging through the room, eventually finding an insurance policy in a closet drawer.
She opened it and read it quickly, her fingertips trembling even more.
This insurance was purchased by Xin Zikai; it's a personal accident insurance policy, with her as the beneficiary, and the compensation amount is as high as five million.
"Dad, Dad..." Xin Chun's calm expression cracked again, and she became dazed and confused as she stumbled and ran towards the backyard.
Memories of their time together in this house flooded back. The man wasn't wealthy, but he never mistreated her materially. He wasn't particularly attentive, but he would help her with her elementary school craft projects. He had little sense of aesthetics, yet he would always buy her clothes in colors and patterns she didn't like and compliment her on how good they looked.
"Dad!" Xin Chun cried out in anguish as she collapsed into the mud, digging at the soil with her bare hands.
