“I can help you find your remains, so that you can truly return to your homeland and be reincarnated!” Song Mengmeng said suddenly as she looked at Aman, who was turning to return to the collapsed bamboo house that was unrecognizable. “Don’t stay here any longer. You clearly don’t intend to do anything to them anymore. Staying here any longer will not do you any good!”
In fact, Song Mengmeng had already seen through Aman's plan from the moment she came out.
The girl in front of me, despite having suffered for so many years and wandered for so long, still didn't really want to harm the Lin family.
Her obsession was nothing more than wanting to see Old Master Lin one more time!
Her efforts to return to her hometown from a foreign land were not, as she claimed, aimed at causing the love spell to backfire. On the contrary, her goal was to make the love spell, which had already begun to take effect, lose its effectiveness!
However, her soul has been unable to return to her hometown for so many years, and her burial place is thousands of miles away, so she was unable to undo the disaster for a while, which caused the Lin family's misfortune.
This girl was kind and innocent from beginning to end!
Just as Hu Yue just said, someone like Grandpa Lin is simply not good enough for her!
It's not worth her giving up everything for such a heartless scumbag!
"You...you're really willing to help me?!" Song Mengmeng's suggestion clearly took Aman by surprise. She looked at the girl in front of her in disbelief, who seemed to make her instinctively want to run away, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
She had always thought that this exorcist, whose strength she couldn't see through at all, would directly attack her, but she never expected that the ones who actually came to speak up for her this time were actually two exorcists.
“Yes, you should know where your remains are. We can help you settle this old matter!” Hu Yue nodded and stood beside Song Mengmeng, making a promise to Aman: “You died unjustly back then. So many years have passed, it’s time to give you justice!”
Judging from what Ah Man said, she must have been killed on the way after being tricked away, so her remains must not have been disposed of in a normal way!
So maybe while finding her remains, we can also find clues about the person who kidnapped her!
By working backwards from this, we can bring the culprit to justice!
“I was taken out of the capital to an extremely remote place!” Aman lowered her eyes and thought for a while before answering, “My remains were buried in the Ten Thousand Mountains!”
They must have more than one life on their hands!
Because they handled the body very professionally, they first broke my limbs and tied them tightly so I couldn't escape, then they stuffed my mouth with mud, and finally planted a locust tree sapling on my body!
If it weren't for the landslide that moved that locust tree a while ago, giving me a chance to escape, I'd probably still be trapped by that cursed tree, unable to get away!
This statement was so chilling that even the Lin family members who had wanted to speak up for their mother or grandmother all refrained from uttering any accusations or rebuttals!
If all of this is true, then what exactly did this seemingly kind old lady do?!
"No, no, no! I admit my mistake, I'll do whatever you want with me, please don't call the police, please don't make this public!"
The old woman, who had just regained consciousness, was startled by Song Mengmeng and Hu Yue's suggestion, especially after hearing Aman's story, she was so frightened that she trembled all over.
How could you do that!
She could die right now, to atone for her sins against Ah Man, but if she really reported this to the police and made it public, then she…
How is she supposed to face people after this?!
Putting aside the fact that she will have to spend the rest of her life in prison, the public opinion and gossip alone could drive her crazy!
You know, no matter what, in the eyes of outsiders, her image has always been very positive and impeccable. Now that she's old, are we really going to let her ruin her reputation in her later years?!
Isn't this just too cruel?!
"You did something wrong, and you must be judged and punished accordingly. Justice will prevail, and nothing escapes your notice!" Hu Yue was exceptionally clear-headed and decisive in this matter. She looked calmly at the seemingly deranged old woman and stated her decision with great composure: "Back then, for your own selfish desires, you caused the tragic death of Miss Aman in a foreign land. More than fifty years have passed since then. Can you erase all that just because of your regret and admission of wrongdoing?!"
If what you say is true, then isn't her life far too cheap?!
Besides, she saved Grandpa Lin's life! And yet you repay kindness with such ingratitude!
If this still doesn't give her justice, then who will dare to be kind to others in the future?!
Song Mengmeng glanced at Hu Yue, who was speaking righteously and without any favoritism towards her because of her past acquaintance with the Lin family, with some surprise. Suddenly, she understood why, in a world where the balance of good and evil was also unbalanced, the order in China seemed more stable and peaceful than in other countries!
Perhaps it's because of people like Hu Yue who have been persevering!
"Go and turn yourself in." Old Master Lin, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up. Before the old lady could beg for mercy again, he had already turned around and looked at his wife, who was in tears and completely disheveled. His face was full of sorrow and disappointment, but the light in his eyes was firm and unwavering.
“I’ll go with you. Although you made the mistake back then, ultimately it was because of me!”
You're right, and Ah Man is also right to blame me!
If I had been more resolute back then, my memories wouldn't have been altered! Then, I wouldn't have separated from Aman, and she wouldn't have suffered such a disaster!
It's all my fault!
Because of my indecisiveness, cowardice, and suspicion, I not only ruined Ah Man, but also you!
I am unworthy and have no right to say "I love you" to Aman again. I am sorry to her, and I don't deserve such a good girl like her who sacrificed so much for me!
After speaking, Old Master Lin decisively shook off his eldest son's support, staggered to the Five Gu God Pillars, which were almost unrecognizable due to the decay of time, and knelt down with a thud. Then, he raised his head crisply and solemnly, and swore: "Five Gu Gods above, I, the sinner, have broken my oath and killed Aman. My sin is unforgivable! I willingly descend into hell to be punished. I am willing to exchange my blessings for a hundred lifetimes to ensure her future is forever peaceful, prosperous, happy, and carefree!"
