Xiao Hengyu immediately held her shoulders and said, "Do you want to go back? Let's stop here for today."

"Need not."

Su Yutang broke free from his hand, her body shaking uncontrollably, from the initial shock and disbelief to her final trembling hands as she touched the cold tombstone.

"Will she be cold down here?"

Xiao Hengyu's expression changed subtly, and then he returned to his sadness: "Don't worry, this is just a tombstone. Her ashes are not actually here."

He paused, his voice gentle, "I can't bear to see our child lying alone in a place like this."

Just then, he snapped his fingers.

A subordinate came forward, holding an exquisite little urn in his hand.

Xiao Hengyu took the urn and handed it to Su Yutang, "This is our daughter."

Su Yutang looked at the urn in front of her in shock.

The box was lighter than expected, so light that it was heartbreaking. It was made of ebony, with delicate patterns carved on the surface. A small sapphire was inlaid on the top, which still flickered faintly under the gloomy sky.

"Do you want to... hug her?" Xiao Hengyu asked softly.

Su Yutang's fingers trembled. After taking the urn from Xiao Hengyu, she clasped her hands tightly against her chest, as if this could protect her from harm.

The urn is so real, the weight and texture are so real that there is no doubt about it.

But deep down inside, there was a voice saying: No! None of this is right!

She was unwilling to believe what Xiao Hengyu said, and even more unwilling to believe that the person lying in the urn was her daughter, but every word he said was flawless.

She didn't know who to trust.

Her eyes moved back and forth between the tombstone and the urn, and her headache grew worse.

After a while, Su Yutang said, "Can I... be alone for a while?"

Xiao Hengyu hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I'll wait for you by the car, don't take too long."

During the journey, Xiao Hengyu sent people to call her several times, but she didn't want to respond, didn't want to leave, and just wanted to be alone for a while.

But it was dark after all.

A subordinate ran over and held up a black umbrella to shield her head. "Miss Su, it's raining. Master Xiao said you'll get sick if you stay any longer. It's time to go back. If you can't bear to leave the young lady, just take the urn back with you."

Su Yutang pursed her lips: "Okay."

In the car on the way back, Xiao Hengyu considerately turned up the heater and handed her a dry towel and hot tea.

Su Yutang wiped her hair mechanically and placed the urn carefully on her knees, not letting anyone touch it.

"Are you feeling better?" Xiao Hengyu asked softly.

Su Yutang didn't answer, but just watched the scenery passing by outside the window.

The rain was getting heavier, and the water marks on the car window distorted the outside world, making it as fragmented as her memories.

......

In Repulse Bay, Bo Jingzhou stood in his study. The cigarette between his fingertips had burned out, but it did not relieve the dull pain in his chest at all.

The news from Scotland disappointed him again, as Su Yutang's whereabouts were still unknown.

He could only order people to continue searching outside.

But the world is so big, and finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

If someone deliberately hid her, it would be even more difficult.

At this time, the phone suddenly vibrated.

Bo Jingzhou quickly answered the call.

Ari's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother-in-law, they've let go."

Bo Jingzhou's eyes flashed.

Just a few minutes ago.

Eric stood in front of the cage, looking at the mother and her two children who were locked in the iron cage like animals.

Since Mrs. Lawrence and the Boonebuchi siblings were captured, they have been severely tortured.

The mother and her two children were tortured all over, but Lawrence never showed up.

Seeing Ari coming, Boone in the cage suddenly climbed over and grabbed the iron bars: "Where is my father? Why hasn't he come to save us?"

Eric sneered, "That's what I need to ask you. I also want to ask, why hasn't Lawrence come to rescue you? The news of your imprisonment has been all over the world. Lawrence should have known you were here three months ago."

Mrs. Lawrence suddenly burst into hysterical crying and cursing: "Bastard Lawrence, he doesn't even care about our lives, this bastard, a super bastard!"

"He's not fit to be a father." Boone cursed along, his voice full of resentment.

Eric watched the scene with satisfaction: "Go ahead and curse him, he's a bastard! You shouldn't be a family with a bastard like him!"

Butch raised her head, determination flashing in her red and swollen eyes. After such a long period of torture, the mother and her two children had completely lost hope in Lawrence. He was not only cowardly and afraid of death, but also cold-blooded and selfish.

"Okay, I agree to cooperate with you. People like Lawrence deserve to die!"

Ari's eyes changed: "Are you sure?"

Butch said calmly, "I'm sure. I'm willing to tell you all the properties under Lawrence's name, including the places he's been to. But I'm not sure if he's there."

Soon, Butch got a world map and marked all the places Lawrence might go.

"We have a safe house in Switzerland, an apartment in Vancouver, and a farm outside London..."

She marked seven or eight locations in a row, and finally stopped at one place. "And here, it's a dock warehouse, registered in the name of his confidant, and few people know about it."

Ari raised an eyebrow: "The specific location."

Butch wrote down the address of the dock warehouse in detail.

"Anything else?" Eric asked.

Butch bit her lip. "My father... Lawrence has a habit of going to church to confess when he does something wrong. No matter which country he is in, he will go to the largest Catholic church there."

After getting all the information, Ari turned around and left.

Butch called out to him, "Will you kill him?"

Instead of answering directly, Eric asked, "What would you do if he died?"

Butch's eyes turned cold: "I will celebrate with fireworks."

After the door closed, Eric sneered, what a ruthless character, Butch is even more cold-blooded than her father.

......

After learning that her child had died, Su Yutang had been depressed.

The heavy curtains in the manor were drawn tightly, blocking out the sunlight from outside.

Su Yutang curled up on the single sofa in the corner of the bedroom, holding the ebony urn tightly in her arms, her fingers unconsciously stroking the sapphire on the top.

For two days, she hardly touched the food that was delivered to her, and only drank a few sips of water occasionally to stay alive.

A muted argument could be heard outside the door.

"Judging from your bad idea, how long has she been refusing to eat or drink?" Xiao Hengyu's voice was filled with suppressed anger.

The subordinate lowered his head in shame: "It's been two days."

"Go and receive your punishment." Xiao Hengyu said coldly, followed by the sound of a loud slap and staggering footsteps.
