“W-What? A skeleton?” Liang Yuhua was startled by the news Lu Zijia told them about.
Even though she had seen many news reports about a skeleton being found somewhere, she had never thought that such an incident would happen in Zhao Village!
Not only was Liang Yuhua shocked, even the two men, Zhao Ziteng and Song Zixuan, were frightened by the news.
“You didn’t know about it?” Lu Zijia looked at the mother and son of the Zhao family with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes.
Zhao Wentian came back to Zhao Village a week ago and the skeleton was also found a week ago. With Zhao Wentian’s status and identity in the village, the possibility that he didn’t know about it was very low unless people in the village hid the truth from him on purpose.
However, the possibility was very low.
After all, discovering a dead human body was a matter that had something to do with people’s lives. Even if the villagers wanted to hide the truth, they wouldn’t be able to do so for long. Zhao Wentian would know sooner or later.
Liang Yuhua was worried that Lu Zijia would misunderstand her, so she quickly waved her hand and explained anxiously, “Master, you have to believe me. I really didn’t know. My husband didn’t tell me about it either after he came home.
“I only knew after you talked about it just now.”
After observing her for a while and confirming that she was telling the truth, Lu Zijia then turned to Zhao Ziteng.
“What about you, Master Zhao? Did you know about it?”
Zhao Ziteng subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when his eyes met Lu Zijia’s bright eyes that seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts, those denying words were immediately stuck in his throat.
Lu Zijia could see how strange he was, so she reminded him, “Master Zhao, I think you should understand that we’re here to save your father.
“If you know something but choose to keep it from me, I’m afraid I can’t help you either.”
Of course, she said that only to force Zhao Ziteng to speak the truth. Her intention was certainly to save time.
“Son?”
Liang Yuhua saw that there was something wrong with her son at this moment and she had her heart in her throat.
Zhao Ziteng smiled wryly and sighed.
“I indeed know about this, but I didn’t ask around much.”
He couldn’t even hide himself under the circumstances back then. How would he possibly take the initiative to talk to the people in the village about it?
Lu Zijia smiled after hearing Zhao Ziteng admit it.
“You’ve indeed been back here. You even followed Mr. Zhao.”
As soon as Lu Zijia spoke, Zhao Ziteng instantly showed an astonished look. Apparently, he had never thought that she would know about this.
Lu Zijia then took the initiative to explain, as if she knew what he was thinking in his mind, “You have the dark energy and resentment of the same aura on you that Mr. Zhao has.
However, the dark energy and resentment you got aren’t much and your body wasn’t marked, so nothing happened to you like Mr. Zhao.”
“According to my observation, that evil spirit originally stayed in this house, but it already left a few days ago.
“And you, you have dark energy and resentment on your body and know that a skeleton was found on the mountain behind the village.
“Calculating the time, you either came the same day as Mr. Zhao or within a couple days after he came.”
Hearing Lu Zijia’s reasonable and evident remark, Liang Yuhua, his mother, was first shocked.
“This… This… Ziteng, did you really come back here? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Her son used to notify them when he was on a business trip or when he was going somewhere so that they wouldn’t be worried.
Besides, going back to his hometown didn’t seem to be something that he had to hide. Why did her son…
