Chapter 832: Chapter 621: Knots That Daylight Cannot Untie, Night Slowly Wears Away

[Correction: Su Jikang and Deng Yingmei are Shuangshuang and Huang Huang’s great-grandfather and great-grandmother, not their grandfather and grandmother. In the previous Chapter, Shuangshuang and Huang Huang mistakenly called them wrong~]

..........

Su Xiaomeng closed her eyes...

She just knew that things would inevitably come to this...

The grandparents who had been living in the Su Family Village were unaware of the series of events happening with the Yin Family in Beijing, which were closely related to their granddaughter.

After Guo Tong’s incident was exposed, Su’s father and Su’s mother only spoke of what could be told, simply saying that Guo Tong had gone astray, destroyed other people’s families, and caused the death of an innocent child.

After hearing this, Su Jikang and Deng Yingmei could only remain silent.

The two elders are natives of the countryside and firmly believe in the principle that good and evil will ultimately be rewarded.

Because of this, Su Jikang had once criticized Su Jifang and Guo Jianping’s failures, saying that when children are not taught, it is the fault of the fathers.

Who would have thought, shortly after Guo Tong’s death, Su Jifang went mad.

The family knew, but no one specifically went to ask about it.

Su Xiaomeng thought to herself, perhaps even her parents would not have imagined that it would be Yin Shixiu who completed the procedures for Su Jifang’s placement in the mental hospital.

Thinking to this point, Xiao Meng now wants to ask Yin Shixiu why he did something that seems to have little meaning.

The door from the bedroom was opened, Xiao Meng standing dumbfounded with fruit still at the entrance.

Bai Sixian looked at her,

"Why not come in? What are you standing here for?"

"...Oh, I was just about to go in."

Inside the room, after seeing Xiao Meng enter, Grandpa quickly restrained his tears, turned his head to another direction, secretly wiped his tears with the corner of his clothes.

Xiao Meng put down the fruit, did not sit, took a deep breath and said to Grandpa,

"Tomorrow...I’ll go with you to ask that family, okay?"

Su Jikang’s facial wrinkles were already very deep, hearing Xiao Meng said this, he raised his head with a somewhat surprised expression.

Xiao Meng looked at Grandpa,

"But Grandpa would have to agree to one condition."

"What?"

"We just need the other side to give an explanation, but absolutely not to quarrel with that family, can we?"

Su Jikang quickly nodded,

"Meng Meng, I’ll listen to you, when the time comes you ask, Grandpa will just listen."

"Okay."

The next day, Su Xiaomeng came along with Su Jikang to the residential area where Yin Shixiu lived.

Five days had already passed.

This upscale residential area is no different from usual, most of the people coming and going were middle-class, dressed in fine clothes. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Su Jikang came to Beijing, and the uncle specially bought two sets of new clothes for Grandpa and Grandma, Grandpa wore this shirt, and every two steps had to reach out to smooth the wrinkles.

Especially when the people in the residential area all wore respectable clothes, making the elderly, who had lived in the countryside all his life and didn’t care much about these things, appear somewhat uncomfortable.

Xiao Meng was no longer the little girl of seventeen or eighteen, although she didn’t spend much effort on dressing up, but the fashion sense formed from ear to ear was already quite complete.

Casually putting on clothes and applying light makeup was already quite decent.

Because she was to visit Yin Shiqing today, Xiao Meng naturally dressed up deliberately.

She supported Su Jikang, just the two of them.

Before coming, she had already notified Yin Shiqing’s family, everyone’s time is precious, she certainly didn’t want to waste a trip.

The door was opened by a servant.

From the outside, this high-end villa looked simple and elegant, but upon entry, the aristocratic atmosphere that permeates "magnate" families rushed in.

Antique vases on the decorative shelves, sculptures by famous artists, mountain and water paintings of great value on the wall, calligraphy by masters...

However, none of these caught Su Jikang’s eyes, he was a down-to-earth country person, not knowledgeable about these valuable city decorations.

He just wanted to quickly meet the owner of this house, to know how his own sister attacked others, how she ended up "being" killed in self-defense...

When Su Xiaoming and Su Jikang arrived, only Yin Bowen was present.

"Little Aunt, it’s been a long time."‍

Yin Bowen greeted, instructing the servant to serve tea.

Last night, Xiao Meng roughly explained to Grandpa about the family of Yin Shiqing and her relationship with them, although Su Jikang listened confusedly, he got the basic understanding.

But seeing a man in his thirties calling Xiao Meng "Little Aunt" still feels quite absurd.

The person named Yin Bowen in front of him was Guo Tong’s husband.

"This is..."

"My Grandpa."

Xiao Meng introduced, then helped Grandpa sit on the armchair next to him,

"My Grandpa and I are here today for just one purpose, that is, to listen to your account of what happened that night, how my little aunt died accidentally.’

Yin Bowen sat opposite them, knowing beforehand they were coming for this purpose, he didn’t beat around the bush and explained the events of that night.

"Su Jifang was sent to my house by the girl living opposite the villa, saying she encountered her in the residential area, she escaped from the psychiatric hospital and knowing this place, that night we had no choice but to take her in."

Yin Bowen spoke as if he were removed from the situation, his words were all calm and indifferent.

"As a result, after Su Jifang got to our house, she immediately went crazy trying to find Guo Tong, completely wrecking the things in the house, I think the police who investigated that night already showed you the photos or something."‍

"I went forward to try to stop her, but unexpectedly she started to punch and kick me, you see the five claw marks on my face? They were scratched by her, these won’t fade in a short time.’‍

Yin Bowen thought about it, his face showed a trace of extreme resentment.

Xiao Meng saw this clearly.

"I got scratched by her, thinking about going upstairs to apply some medicine and disinfect, but didn’t expect the old woman to attack me from behind, yelling at me to go to hell to keep Guo Tong company, luckily my mom shouted, and I reacted in time."

"..."

"Turning around, Su Jifang reached her hand over, I didn’t think much, pushed her a bit, she then rolled down the stairs, just like that, fell to her death.’’’

Yin Bowen shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.

Su Xiaoming saw her grandfather, only to see his eyes cloudy, tears shining, presumably heartbroken for his aunt.

When Yin Bowen finished speaking, he was completely at ease...

"I wonder if what I’ve said makes the old gentleman understand what happened that night?"

Yin Bowen specially asked Su Jikang, his words contained a touch of sarcasm.

Su Jikang kept the promise he made to Xiao Meng last night, saying nothing, just deeply sunken eyes, looking intently at Yin Bowen.

Perhaps this old man had lived his life, never seen such a cold-blooded person.

The so-called "self-defense" only exempted him from criminal responsibility, but couldn’t change the fact that a person had died.

The indifference towards life that this man shows made Su Jikang’s heart cold...

He wondered, are all the children from official families like Yin Bowen, looking down on the life and death of ordinary people?

Su Jikang got up,

"Meng Meng, let’s go home. Grandpa feels...this house is very scary."

Yin Bowen frowned.

Su Xiaomeng did not miss this expression of Yin Bowen, she got up, just as Yin Bowen was about to speak, she said,

"No wonder Grandpa feels scared, this house is haunted not just by the spirit of Su Jifang you killed, but also by your wife Guo Tong."

"Little Aunt, don’t be so naïve, haha."

Yin Bowen sneered.

"Naïve? You haven’t been sleeping peacefully these nights?"

"..."

Yin Bowen’s expression slightly changed.

Su Xiaomeng focused on him, "It’s said, those who don’t sleep at night, always have something to escape and conceal during the day...the knot that can’t be untied in the daylight, slowly tortures through the night."

Upon hearing Xiao Meng’s words, Yin Bowen couldn’t help but chuckle,

"Really saving Little Aunt the trouble, I slept very peacefully these past few days."

"I would think so, after all, what I said had to first be premised on being... human."

"..."

"In this world, not every creature with two eyes, one nose, one mouth, that can walk and talk like a person... is a human. At least, you, Yin Bowen, definitely are not."

Su Xiaomeng’s words were flat, she smiled slightly as she looked at him, taking a step forward quietly, approached Yin Bowen and her lips moved slightly...

Yin Bowen’s face turned dark.
