Chapter 264: The Grave
Lin Zhixian's face was dark. "Because he still wants to get the things that Grandpa left behind, not just the title deed, but also the notes and compass left by Grandpa. These are what he really wants. He firmly believes that Mom is Grandpa's only child and I am Grandpa's only granddaughter. Grandpa couldn't possibly not leave these things to us, so he didn't do anything to us in the past ten years. But this time I won the rookie competition championship and took the title deed to take back the house, which completely angered him."
"According to Hong Kong's inheritance law, if my mother dies before me, then I will inherit all of her property, including the ancestral home and other properties. If I die unexpectedly after my mother dies and do not have time to write a will, then Lin Deyu, as my biological father, will become the first-line heir and inherit all my property and the things my grandfather left me."
"Kill two birds with one stone." Lin Zhixian sneered: "Not only does he completely eliminate us mother and daughter, erasing the only stain on his glorious life, but he can also get a lot of wealth and notes. What a good plan."
Chang Chunning couldn't bear it: "Maybe it's not like that? Or are we just overthinking it?"
"Impossible." Lin Zhixian said firmly, "I knew what kind of person Lin Deyu was the moment I met him."
Ungrateful and unscrupulous.
Definitely not a good person.
Lin Zhixian looked at Old Man Chunshan and said, "Even if I don't have the ability to judge people, doesn't my grandfather have it? Back then, my grandfather would rather entrust his most precious notes and compass to Grandpa for safekeeping than pass them on to Lin Deyu. Didn't he see through his hypocritical and vicious nature long ago?"
"My mother fell for the trick today because she also came to pay respect to her great-grandfather and grandfather and did not find anything unusual at the cemetery. In addition, she went to the hospital for a checkup and found that her blood sugar was high, so she thought she was just feeling unwell. She never thought that she had fallen for Lin Deyu's trick."
Obviously, Lin Zhixian guessed it right.
Sanxiangu herself is in this line of work. How could she not have doubts when she first started to feel unwell?
She did go to pay respects to her ancestors and did not find anything unusual in the cemetery. Only then did she dispel her doubts and believe that she was sick.
Old Man Chunshan said, "Even if you guessed it all, what does it matter? Now we have to first verify whether the ashes buried under this tomb are your grandfather's, and second, find your grandfather's real burial place. Otherwise, no matter how accurate your guess is, it will be useless!"
This is indeed the truth.
"In that case, let's dig out the ashes first." Lin Zhixian said, "As for grandpa's real burial place, if I find a chance to contact Lin Deyu, I will find it out."
Old Man Chunshan's deep eyes saw through her: "But he may not stay in Hong Kong City and wait for you to come. After all, you know what you are capable of. Although Lin Deyu doesn't know, as a Feng Shui master, he must know that he can't have any contact with you."
"This is just one method." Lin Zhixian pursed his lips and said, "I will find someone else to investigate Lin Deyu's whereabouts during this period of time. As long as we know his whereabouts, we can determine where he buried my grandfather."
Lin Zhixian paused and said, "My grandfather passed away in 1973. At that time, Hong Kong and the mainland had not yet opened up their borders. Even if he wanted to bury my grandfather in the mainland, it would be impossible. Therefore, he could only bury my grandfather in Hong Kong, Macau and the island. Although it is not easy to check, I believe that as long as he is willing to work hard, he can definitely find it."
If it were in the mainland, it would be called being completely in the dark.
"I'm afraid Aunt Lin can't wait that long." Chang Chunning said.
Lin Zhixian pursed his lips, his whole body breathing low.
Old Man Chunshan glanced at Chang Chunning unhappily. He had never seen anyone so tactless. He deserved to have no girlfriend.
Chang Chunning moved his lips, not knowing what to do.
Old Man Chunshan broke the silence and said, "Let's dig up the grave first."
It's not that you can just dig up the grave whenever you want. You have to calculate the time and find someone to help, so the three of them went down the mountain first.
After coming down the mountain, Lin Zhixian and his friends did not return to the city. Instead, they found a nearby town, found a public telephone, and contacted someone.
Afterwards, Lin Zhixian called Zhou Jiexian.
"Miss Zhou, I'd like to ask you for help with something else." Lin Zhixian said.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Jiexian asked.
"I would like to ask you to find out if there are any banquets or other gatherings that Lin Deyu will attend recently. If so, please help me get an invitation letter." Lin Zhixian said, "Also, I want to find a private detective. Do you have anyone you can recommend?"
"Lin Deyu?" Zhou Jiexian was stunned.
Lin Zhixian smiled bitterly: "There is something I haven't told you. In fact, Lin Deyu is my biological father. It's just that things weren't going well between us, so I didn't announce it to the public. I didn't mean to hide it from you."
Zhou Jiexian understood: "I understand. OK, I will keep an eye on this matter for you. As for the private detective, the one I found before is quite capable. I can give you his contact number if you need it."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Lin Zhixian said, "I owe you a favor."
Zhou Jiexian did not refuse.
After all, Lin Deyu is a Feng Shui master. If Lin Zhixian fights with Lin Deyu and loses, she might also be angered.
So she had to take the risk and accept Lin Zhixian's favor without any guilt.
What's more, she is a businessman, not a philanthropist.
After Lin Zhixian got the private detective's phone number, he immediately called the other party. After a brief exchange on the phone, the two parties basically confirmed their intention to cooperate. Lin Zhixian informed the other party of his location, and after the other party arrived, he negotiated the remuneration, asked the other party to investigate Lin Deyu's whereabouts in the past six months, and then paid half of the remuneration by check.
After finishing this, the people who were called to help with the exhumation also arrived. They went up the mountain immediately, calculated a suitable time, and started exhumation directly after the worship. Not long after, the ashes buried inside were dug out.
"What should we do now?" Lin Zhixian looked at the urn and asked Elder Chunshan, "How can we be sure whether this is grandpa's ashes?"
"Although the body has turned into ashes, you are related by blood, so there is naturally a way to test it." said old man Chunshan.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Grandpa." Lin Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief.
Elder Chunshan said, "You two brothers and sisters, watch carefully."
"Yes." Lin Zhixian and Chang Chunning responded quickly.
They knew that this was Old Man Chunshan teaching them.
