I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

At Tang's Pastry, Tang Wenhao's mood was not as good as Xu Congyi's. Yuanyuan's matter was like a huge rock, weighing heavily on his heart and he could not let it go.

In the dead of night, everything was silent, only his thoughts were surging like the tide. Tang Wenhao chewed over every detail related to her over and over again, trying to piece together the outline of the truth from the fragments of memory. However, the harder he tried, the more confused and helpless he felt, and he could only fall into deeper insomnia.

When he was exhausted and his consciousness gradually blurred, he finally fell asleep, but what greeted him was not peace and tranquility, but a more bizarre and terrifying scene. In the dream, he was beside an ancient bed, the light was dim, and the atmosphere was weird. A figure was half-kneeling beside the bed, pressing a pillow hard on the mouth and nose of an old man. The action was decisive and cold, without any hesitation. Tang Wenhao's heart tightened, and he was about to step forward to stop it, but he was shocked to find that the woman who committed the violence was Chen Yuanyuan, whom he had been thinking about!

Anger and confusion surged in his heart like a tide, and he rushed forward, trying to pull Yuanyuan away from the old man. But when he touched that familiar body, all illusions were instantly shattered, and he was shocked to find that he had become the victim in the dream, and Chen Yuanyuan had become the person who covered his mouth and nose with a pillow, with a look of determination and indifference in her eyes.

This moment made Tang Wenhao suddenly wake up from his dream. He opened his eyes and found himself still lying on the bed. It turned out that the quilt had covered his face at some point, causing the illusion of suffocation. He threw back the quilt and breathed in big gulps of fresh air, as if to expel the fear in the dream.

At this moment, the sky outside the window was slightly bright, but Tang Wenhao's heart was still dark. He sat on the bed, letting the coolness of the morning erode his body, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind, but he could not find a way out. This night was longer than any other sleepless night for him.

Shen Xiao knew that Tang Wenhao must have not slept well last night, so he came early in the morning. Sure enough, as soon as he knocked on the door, he heard the sound of Tang Wenhao opening the door.

"You didn't sleep well last night. Look at the black eyes on your face. I brought you some eggplant and diced pork noodles from the noodle shop. Eat some to fill your stomach."

Shen Xiao placed the lunch box on the table and opened it skillfully. The steaming eggplant and diced pork noodles were fragrant. Tang Wenhao wanted to refuse, but his body instinct made him unable to resist the temptation, and his stomach growled. I had dinner with Tang Wenxin last night, but I didn't eat much because I was worried, so my stomach was already empty.

Shen Xiao packed two bowls, just enough for one person. Shen Xiao brought the noodles out and placed them on the table. He handed Tang Wenhao a pair of chopsticks and started eating. Seeing that Shen Xiao was eating with relish, Tang Wenhao sat down and started eating too.

Seeing Tang Wenhao eating noodles in big mouthfuls, Shen Xiao felt relieved. From Tang Wenhao's expression last night, he knew that Chen Yuanyuan's death was definitely not that simple, so he brought breakfast today. He knew that Tang Wenhao being able to eat was a good start. Although the cause of Chen Yuanyuan's death was still confusing, Shen Xiao believed that as long as Tang Wenhao could cheer up, they would be able to uncover the truth.

After dinner, Shen Xiao put the dishes and chopsticks into the lunch box to take home and wash them later, and at the same time cleaned the table.

"Okay, Wenhao, now that you've filled your stomach, you can tell me what you and your aunt asked yesterday."

Tang Wenhao did not hide anything and told Shen Xiao everything his mother and he had said. After a night of calming down, although Tang Wenhao's tone sounded tired, he was also much more rational.

Shen Xiao listened quietly. After Tang Wenhao finished speaking, he quickly sorted out the whole story in his mind and analyzed, "So, Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang originally had no objection to your relationship with Yuanyuan. Aunt's opposition was a test. However, when they went to the bun shop with Nanny Yuan, they found that Yuanyuan was not as innocent and kind as you described. A closer look revealed that she was charged with murder, and Yuanyuan also admitted that she approached you to get your money."

Hearing this, Tang Wenhao nodded slightly and said, "Mother said that the reason why father concealed the truth was because he was worried that I wouldn't be able to bear the blow." There was a hint of helplessness and self-blame in his words.

Shen Xiao keenly caught the contradiction, frowned slightly, and continued to analyze in depth: "My uncle and aunt thought that Yuanyuan's return home to visit her mother was a carefully planned plan, just to take the money and leave. But they never expected that her body would be found at the dock just a few days later, so they also thought that Yuanyuan committed suicide."

Hearing this, Tang Wenhao stood up suddenly, with a gleam of sudden enlightenment in his eyes. "Yes! Why didn't I think of this! Moreover, mother never mentioned that they had sent people to look for Yuanyuan. She only said that father went to find Yuanyuan and gave her five hundred taels of silver to let her leave."

Shen Xiao further guided, "This is the crux of the problem. If the corpse is really Yuanyuan, then where did the five hundred taels of silver go? And if it is not Yuanyuan, then who is the strange man? And who is the female corpse wearing her clothes? We must solve this series of mysteries one by one."
