Ji Yinbing had been here before, but she had never found her mother’s tombstone.
This mountain was not big, but it was not small either. It was impossible for her to dig three feet into the ground. It was a sin to disturb a group of dead souls for a single person.
Kulma looked at the mountain and frowned.
Back then, he had casually dug a pit and buried that woman. To be honest, he did not even remember where Ji Yue’s grave was. However, Kurma did not dare to say it out loud, afraid that he would lose her life if he did.
Ji Yinbing stood beside Kulma. She stared at the hill in front of her and asked, “Where is it?”
Kulma felt guilty and pointed somewhere.
Yan Nuo suddenly said, “You’re lying.”
Kurma had wanted to point out a place to fool him, but Yan Nuo exposed his lie just as he opened his mouth. He immediately felt that his life was in danger. Being stared at by Ji Yinbing, Yan Nuo, and another seemingly harmless young man with the same cold eyes, Kulma shivered in fear.
He had to tell the truth. “Oh, I don’t remember the exact location.”
Ji Yinbing and the rest had ugly expressions.
A man buried his wife with his own hands but did not even remember his wife’s grave after that.
This…
Han Luofan also felt aggrieved for his biological mother.
Ji Yinbing suppressed the urge to shoot Kulma. She clenched her fists and warned Kulma, “I’ll give you ten minutes to find my mother’s grave. If you can’t find it or use other people’s bones to patronize us…”
Kulma looked at Ji Yinbing and met her murderous eyes. Kulma trembled and quickly said, “Miss… Miss Ji, I will definitely find it!” He ran up the mountain like a rabbit and found the general location where Ji Yue was buried.
Finally, he stood beside a barren piece of land. “This should be it,” he said.
On this mountain, weeds were growing, but the soil in front of him was barren with only gravel.
Ji Yinbing stared at the soil and said softly, “Is there a grudge in your heart, so there’s no grass on the grave after she died?” She was asking Han Luofan.
Han Luofan said, “On our side, there’s a saying that if a person dies and his grave is covered in green grass and flowers, it means that the deceased’s descendants are living very well. It’s a good sign. If the grave doesn’t have plants growing on it soon…”
Han Luofan lowered his head slightly, his long eyelashes casting a shadow on his brown eyes, making him look sad and painful. Han Luofan murmured, “It means that the dead… won’t die in peace.”
Yan Nuo listened quietly.
Ji Yinbing squatted down and touched the small grave. She said, “Mom, I’m here to pick you up.”
Upon seeing this scene and hearing this, Han Luofan’s eyes also warmed and tears fell. He knelt down in front of the small grave without a tombstone and kowtowed three times before saying, “My name is Luofan. I’m almost 35 years old this year. I’m… your child.”
“I’ve come with my sister to pick you up and bring you home.”
The siblings knelt in front of the grave. Ji Yinbing was good at controlling her emotions and did not cry, but her eyes were a little red. Han Luofan, on the other hand, was crying.
A moment later, when the siblings calmed down, Yan Nuo took out a few shovels and hoes from the tools he brought. “Dig. Let’s start digging and go home early.”
He distributed the hoes and shovels to Ji Yinbing and Han Luofan.
After saying that he was disturbing the grave, Yan Nuo rolled up the sleeve of his shirt and let go of the soil on the ground. Ji Yinbing and Han Luofan dug the soil together. After a while, the grave was dug open. Han Luofan touched a crisp bone. He quickly put down the hoe and said to the other two, “I found it.”
Ji Yinbing stopped and looked at the white bone. She put down the hoe and picked up a small shovel again to dig out Ji Yue’s remains.
The remains had already started to break down, and a few large bones were broken.
Ji Yinbing and Han Luofan carefully placed the bones into a wooden box. Ji Yinbing said to the bones, “Mom, let’s go home.” With that, she closed the lid and looked up at Kulma.
Kulma’s face was very pale. When he realized what Ji Yinbing was going to do, his expression became extremely panicked. “You, you can’t kill me. I’m your father!” Kulma turned around and was about to run. Yan Nuo kicked the ground with the tip of his foot and a small stone flew towards Kulma’s knee.
Kulma’s knees suddenly hurt, and he fell to the ground. Yan Nuo walked forward and stepped on Kulma’s back. Then, he tilted his head and looked at Ji Yinbing. He asked her, “What do you want to do?”
Ji Yinbing thought of the harm that Kurma had done to Ji Yue over the years.
She blinked and said calmly, “Cut it.”
Everyone understood.
Yan Nuo blinked. Ji Yinbing’s words made him feel that something was wrong. He nodded and asked Ji Yinbing and Han Luofan to go down the mountain first. The siblings walked down the mountain, and Han Luofan kept talking the entire way. He asked Ji Yinbing, “Aren’t you afraid of going to jail for shooting people?”
Ji Yinbing glanced at him and asked, “What do you think?”
Han Luofan thought about it before saying, “I don’t think so.”
Ji Yinbing remained silent.
Carrying her mother’s remains and walking down the mountain, Ji Yinbing kept thinking about a question. Why was there such a huge difference between her and Han Luofan when they were born from the same mother?
Han Luofan was talkative like a fool…
However, when she thought about the fact that she and Vikas and Justin were from the same father and mother, and that there was a huge difference between them, she did not find it strange.
They waited at the foot of the mountain for a few minutes before Yan Nuo returned. His hands were clean, and it was obvious that he had washed them. Han Luofan asked him, “Aren’t you going to call an ambulance?”
Yan Nuo also looked at his brother-in-law as if he was looking at a fool. Then, he said, “Whether he will live or die depends on fate.”
…
The next day, the three of them boarded the plane to China.
There was no direct flight to Junyang City in Mumbai, so they had to make a transfer. They first arrived at Binjiang City before taking the plane to Junyang City.
Han Bing came to the airport after lunch. He sat in the VIP room and waited for Han Luofan.
He finished two glasses of green tea but it was not yet time to order. Han Bing stood up and strolled around the VIP room. In the last hour, this man, who had dominated the government like a fish in water, had actually gone to the toilet three times and washed his face twice.
Those sitting in the VIP room were all people of extraordinary status, so they naturally knew Han Bing. Seeing the former provincial party secretary’s anxious expression, everyone was extremely suspicious.
Someone like him was calm even when he saw the head of the country. What happened and made him so nervous?
