Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Jiang Yueming paused for a moment, looked at Li Lan, and seemed to try hard to recall before exclaiming in surprise, "Li Lan...you're really Li Lan?!"

Li Lan said, "Yes, have you forgotten, Uncle Jiang? When I was twelve, you were the one who shaved my braids. You even gave me a red envelope with a blessing written on it: 'May you have a smooth life, peace, and good health.' Have you forgotten?"

Jiang Yueming immediately became excited and had no more doubts. He said, "It really is you, Li Lan... When were you discharged from the hospital? You're awake! That's wonderful! Your parents must be overjoyed!"

Li Lan deduced from his words that his counterpart on Earth... must be hospitalized?

He continued, "Uncle Jiang, I just woke up and haven't seen my parents yet. I don't know where they are... Do you know?"

Uncle Jiang was taken aback upon hearing this, and said, "You don't know where they went either?"

"Also?" Li Lan was even more puzzled.

“Yes… After our neighborhood was demolished, they used all the compensation money to pay for your hospital bills and then left. I haven’t seen them or been able to contact them for so many years…”

Uncle Jiang said.

"Uncle Jiang, what exactly happened?"

Li Lan inquired in detail about the events that had occurred over the years.

"Sigh... The year after your accident, the global alliance began to be formed, and in the third year, our neighborhood was included in the demolition plan..."

Jiang Yueming began to recount his story.

All sorts of details emerged one by one.

The first time the Ziwei Star Domain and others guided people from Earth, it caused cosmic spiritual energy to seep into Earth. As a result, various countries on Earth discovered that ancient cultivation techniques were actually effective and began to reform them.

At the same time as the Global Alliance was established, the small city of Nancheng also underwent tremendous changes. Several residential areas were inexplicably selected as demolition areas, even though those buildings were not actually that old.

The company responsible for the demolition and construction of Li Lan's neighborhood was Lingjian Group, a conglomerate, but the demolition price they offered was extremely low, which the residents disagreed with at the time.

Uncle Jiang, who was always warm-hearted, naturally became the leader. He led the residents of the community in constantly defending their rights and used various means. As an intellectual with prestige, he caused considerable trouble for Lingjian Group.

However, later, Jiang Yueming's wife was hit and killed, and his daughter was also raped and killed by a drunk man, plunging Jiang Yueming into immense grief.

All the residents of the community were terrified and agreed to the demolition.

However, Jiang Yueming refused to sign. The ordeal his wife and daughter had suffered had enraged him to the extreme. Even with his wife and daughter dead, what else could he possibly lose? He suspected Lingjian Group of being behind it all, and spent years searching for evidence, exhausting his resources, but to no avail…

All the evidence suggests that the deaths of his wife and daughters appear to have nothing to do with Lingjian Group.

For seventeen years, he didn't know how he had managed to get through it all. Now, even he himself felt that perhaps the deaths of his wife and daughter were just an accident.

He had only one thing left to insist on: getting his house back. He had never agreed to the demolition, nor had he signed anything, but Lingjian Group produced a contract. To prove that the signature on the contract was fake, he went around looking for an appraisal agency to verify it.

After years of hard work, I remember that kind and approachable doctor with a happy family, the good man who risked his life to get himself into the ICU just to save a few children…

He became a lonely old man who made a living by scavenging.

Today, as he was thrown into the landfill, he learned that the deaths of his wife and daughter were indeed related to the Lingjian Group. How could he not hate them? How could he not be utterly desperate?

“I’ve tried my best. I’ve searched for evidence for a long time. I’ve looked at the case files, read the statements, and even met with the suspects, but it all proves that the deaths of my wife and daughter have nothing to do with Lingjian Group. I can’t even file a lawsuit, and no media outlet dares to help me…”
