"Auntie, do you know him?" Shen Xi didn't know what she meant, but she could clearly feel her emotions at this moment. Pain, regret, anger, despair, and the joy of knowing the truth.
Mrs. Yu's gaze was a little sluggish. She slowly shifted her gaze to Yu Qiubai and motioned for him to leave. After he closed the door, she looked at Shen Xi with a pleading expression. "I don't want to see him. Can you help me apologize to him?"
He was fine now. He was still alive, and that was good enough.
"Auntie, I want to know about his past. Can you tell me?" Shen Xi thought of the first time she saw him. He was a child in tattered clothes in the snow, with a pair of vigilant and vicious eyes like a wolf's.
She couldn't imagine what kind of suffering he had gone through at that time to be in such a sorry state. He was so thin and weak that he didn't even look human. He was like a beast that had been forced to the edge of a cliff and was desperately struggling to survive. All his bestial instincts had been aroused.
"You are his wife." Mrs. Yu looked at the ring on her finger. Her gaze softened and was filled with nostalgia. However, there was more pain than happiness in this nostalgia. She said in a low voice, "This is the Li family's ancestral ring. His grandmother gave it to his mother. His mother always wore it. When she died, I didn't see it again. So he took it away."
Shen Xi didn't say anything. She just looked at her quietly and listened to her speak.
Mrs. Yu gently rubbed the ring on her finger. After she made up her mind, she suddenly looked up and looked at her seriously. "Doctor Shen, let me introduce myself. I am Li Yuen's aunt. My surname is Diwu."
Shen Xi's eyes flickered for a moment. An indescribable complex emotion grew in her heart. She unconsciously clenched her hands on her knees.
She had collected a lot of information through groundless speculation. All the rumors said that he had taken revenge on the Diwu family. Not a single one of them survived.
Those people didn't dare to say it out loud. They secretly said that he was inhumane and was a devil. However, in this world, no one would become a devil for no reason.
Outside, the sky gradually darkened. It was gloomy and dark clouds hung overhead.
Yu Qiubai had been waiting at the door, anxiously pacing back and forth. He wanted to know what the people inside were talking about and what the relationship between his mother and Li Yuen was. But all he could do was be anxious. There was nothing he could do.
He was checking his mother's identity, but her resume was like a blank piece of paper. He couldn't find anything. Her name, her identity, and even her current appearance could all be fake.
The only thing he was sure of was that his mother was related to Li Yuen.
Time ticked by.
He kept leaning against the wall by the door. From time to time, he would turn his head to look in the direction of the door and listen to the movements inside. However, it was very quiet. He couldn't hear anything at all.
After an unknown period of time.
The door creaked open from the inside.
When Shen Xi saw him, she nodded slightly at him. It was obvious that she was in a daze as she walked forward. She looked normal, but at the same time, she seemed like a puppet that had lost its soul.
Yu Qiubai suddenly shivered. Looking at the person in front of him, he even felt a little scared. She looked terrified, but he could feel a murderous intent that made his heart palpitate. It was a murderous intent that seeped out from her bones. It was a monstrous hatred. He braced himself and looked at her worriedly. "Hye-hee, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Shen Xi suddenly grinned and smiled at him.
Yu Qiubai was so frightened that he took a step back. He could only feel the murderous intent coming at him. It was mixed with the smell of blood. He knew that her murderous intent wasn't directed at him, but his soul still trembled. Withstanding the immense pressure, he said, "Let me take you home!"
"Do you know where the Diwu family is?" Shen Xi suddenly asked him.
Yu Qiubai's heart skipped a beat. He nodded and said, "I know."
Everyone in the Diwu family was dead. Not a single one was alive. However, the Diwu family's house had always been empty. There were many supernatural stories that had spread around.
Even the people who lived nearby had moved away. It was said that when one passed by in the middle of the night, one could hear someone crying. The cries were mournful. Some people even said that they could hear gunshots and curses. They saw the lights in the house flickering. It was almost a haunted house. When one passed by in the day, one could feel the eerie aura of the house.
"Take me there!" Shen Xi's voice was low and a little hoarse. Her slightly narrowed eyes were surging with the color of blood.
"Okay." Yu Qiubai looked in the direction of the room. He didn't see any unusual behavior from his mother. He instructed Auntie Li and caught up with Shen Xi.
What exactly did his mother say to her?
Why did she want to go to the Diwu family's house?
It was getting dark now. The Diwu family's house should be at its most eerie and terrifying at this time.
He had heard many things about the Diwu family. That family was full of lunatics, and they had been lunatics for generations. After they died, their resentment would not dissipate. They would transform into malicious spirits, and the curse would forever envelop the house.
Outside, snowflakes began to fall again.
The car drove toward the Diwu family's house. The closer they got to the house, the colder it became.
Yu Qiubai saw the old house from afar. Because of its age, it already had a heavy feeling. At this moment, under the gloomy sky, it appeared even more eerie.
The Diwu family's house was an ancient building complex in the capital, second only to the Li family's house. It was located in a prime location and was priceless. Since the annihilation of the family, it had become desolate day by day. Occasionally, curious hunters and paranormal enthusiasts would sneak around to take a look.
The car stopped near the Diwu family's house.
Yu Qiubai turned his head and looked at Shen Xi, who was sitting quietly in the backseat. "You can't go in. There are guards. I'll walk with you. I know a route that can avoid all the surveillance."
In order to investigate his mother's background, he had secretly come to the Diwu family's house and found a safe way in.
He had once guessed that the guards and surveillance near the Diwu family's house were arranged by Li Yuen. Later, he found out that it wasn't him. The government had arranged for people to protect the ancient building from being destroyed.
This building was under Li Yuen's name. As long as he didn't say anything, it was his property. No one had the right to do anything with it.
The relevant departments of Huaxia had tried to negotiate with him over this matter, but it was to no avail.
Yu Qiubai got out of the car and walked in front.
Shen Xi followed behind him. When she looked up at the house, her whole body seemed to be shrouded in shadows. She had a murderous aura that made people's hearts palpitate.
She really wanted to blow this place up!
