Chapter 400: An Unexpected Confession【5】
Ignoring Qie w.a.n.g, Wu Tong got off the elevator.
What did he mean a better girl? Wu Tong trusted her son’s decision. If he thought Ye Tianxin was the best, then she surely was the best.
Just because Little Tianxin didn’t come from a renowned clan, Qie w.a.n.g dared to look down on Tianxin?
Hmph!
Tianxin, although it was too early to say, was now unofficially part of their family, the Li family.
Was their family not good enough?
Qie w.a.n.g stared at Wu Tong and Li Xingchen as they walked away, then shook his head.
What happened to these people?
Everyone was a little sensitive…a little strange.
The slightest comment could set them off.
Qie w.a.n.g took a file and returned to his office. As soon as he walked in, he saw Xie Xuning waiting for him. He had been up all night.
“Xuning, why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be in the military training?”
Xie Xuning replied, exhausted, “I had not slept since I received your call last night. I want to take a look at the report in person.”
Qie w.a.n.g handed the file to Xie Xuning. “Here. Have a look.”
With trembling hands, Xie Xuning opened the file. He pulled out a thin piece of paper from it, on which the report was written. The conclusion was written below the data.
Xie Xuning’s expression instantly became gloomy, and he held the paper tightly.
This piece of information changed his life.
“Xuning, I was also surprised to learn about the marriage.”
Qie w.a.n.g patted Xie Xuning on the shoulder.
“You should calm down first.”
Filled with anger and resentment, Xie Xuning punched the wall of Qie w.a.n.g’s office. Qie w.a.n.g didn’t stop him.
On the white wall, a small dent could be noticed and some blood.
“Ah-w.a.n.g, I can’t calm down!” Xie Xuning said angrily.
Qie w.a.n.g was coaxing for Xie Xuning to sit down, but he refused. “You have to calm down, Xuning. If these ashes aren’t Linlang’s, what does this mean? It means someone had tampered with it! I have been to Jiameng Town, and you’ve been there too with me. Everything at that time seemed flawless. If it weren’t for our little research, this wouldn’t be discovered. Xuning, think about it. What went wrong along the way?”
Xie Xuning shook his head.
He didn’t know.
When he came here from the barracks, he was also thinking about this.
He and Linlang obtained the certificate first, and Linlang’s residence registration was changed when she was in college.
He reported to the organization at that time. After examining Ye Linlang’s family background, the organization agreed to let the two marry.
His plan was, after the mission, to take his wedding leave and go back to Ye Linlang’s hometown for the wedding and to meet her mother.
It’s just that…the accident happened.
After the accident, he went to Linlang’s hometown according to the address from the information on the review.
He found the old house of Linlang’s family.
In the old house, a young couple lived there. They told him that Linlang had committed suicide after learning of her lover’s demise, and his almost mother-in-law had pa.s.sed away because of sadness over Linlang’s death.
Linlang’s relatives took him to the cemetery to see the grave for himself.
When he thought of that sad event, Xie Xuning’s heart ached as if it was being pounded by a thousand hammers.
“Xuning, could it be that the crematorium put the wrong ashes in Linlang’s urn? I mean, it could happen…”
Xie Xuning looked at Qie w.a.n.g and replied, annoyed, “Why don’t you want my Linlang to be alive?”
Qie w.a.n.g didn’t say a word anymore. He felt he had been saying the wrong words since this morning.
