Anyone can give up.

Go to his shop, go to his death countdown, go to her engagement!

Early the next morning, Ling Yue instructed Lu Boqing to take good care of Ling Yi before she went to find her mother.

The car that was in an accident when we went to my grandma's house last time is still being repaired at the 4S shop, so Lingyue went to the garage and drove another car, a Volvo, which is sturdier this time.

It took three and a half hours to get to Grandma's courtyard. It was lunchtime, and Ling Yue hadn't told Liang Lina in advance that she was coming.

The gate was locked and no one was home. Ling Yue was exhausted and hungry. Could Liang Lina have gone out to eat?

"Hey, baby, is there something wrong at home?"

"Nothing's wrong at home. Where are you right now? I'm at my grandma's house."

Ling Yue squatted on the ground, picked up a small twig, and made a phone call while teasing the ants on the ground.

"What? When did you get here? Is Xiaobao here yet?"

"No, I came alone. I'm so hungry, Mom."

"Oh, then come here. Walk along the alley from your house, all the way to the end, to the neighbor's dumpling restaurant."

Ling Yue guessed correctly; Liang Lina had indeed gone out to eat!

So she ran like a madwoman to the end of the alley. She knew that dumpling restaurant was run by Aunt Lin, her grandmother's neighbor. Every summer when she came, she would often go there to eat dumplings. She really couldn't find this kind of taste in Shanghai.

Sure enough, it was lunchtime and the dumpling restaurant was packed. Ling Yue spotted Liang Lina immediately. She was really being dishonest, already picking up a dumpling, dipping it in vinegar, and popping it into her mouth.

"Aunt Lin, could I have a serving of fennel and egg dumplings, please?"

As soon as Ling Yue entered, she yelled at the order window before scurrying over to sit down opposite Liang Lina.

"What filling did you order, Mom? Let me try it."

As Ling Yue spoke, she very consciously picked up a dumpling and stuffed the whole thing inside.

Holy crap, pork and scallions!

Ling Yue felt like vomiting the next second; Liang Lina had anticipated her prediction.

"Swallow it!"

A sharp glare pierced her from the side, and Ling Yue, wearing a mask of pain, chewed the dumpling and swallowed it...

I quickly drank two large gulps of barley tea to clear my head.

What are you doing running around here?

"Look at what you're saying, I just missed you. A day apart feels like three autumns."

Watching Liang Lina eat the pork and scallion dumplings, it looked so delicious! Ah, Aunt Lin's dumpling restaurant is truly amazing.

"Stop joking. Didn't your dad go to Hangzhou on a business trip? What about Xiaobao?"

"Don't worry, I've arranged everything. A friend of mine really likes Xiaobao, and the two of them are obsessed with Lego."

Just as Ling Yue was talking non-stop, Aunt Lin personally brought over the dumplings that Ling Yue had ordered.

"Aunt Lin, it's been so long..."

Ling Yue had just looked up to greet Aunt Lin when she looked closer and noticed a red light above Aunt Lin's head...

This person had 3 days and 05 hours left to live. Cause of death: Her body was dumped in the wilderness by her husband.

Ling Yue stood there, stunned. Aunt Lin was such a kind person, how could she end up like this?

"What are you doing? How rude of you to stare at your Aunt Lin for so long."

Ling Yue finally came to her senses and said awkwardly, "I just haven't seen Aunt Lin for so long, and I was stunned by her beauty."

"Haha, Yue'er's mouth is still so sweet. Your favorite fennel and egg dumplings, eat them while they're hot."

Liang Lina told her to go ahead and get busy, and they could catch up properly when she was less busy.

Watching Aunt Lin's busy figure, Ling Yue fell into deep thought.

Aunt Lin is the only daughter in her family. In their time, it was common for sons-in-law to marry into the family. Her current husband is a son-in-law who married into the Lin family.

He has a good reputation and has taken care of his parents-in-law like a son for decades.

How could someone like that kill his wife and then dump her body in the wilderness?

Liang Lina had almost finished her plate of pork and scallion dumplings, but Ling Yue hadn't touched them and was still sitting there blankly.

"Hey, hey, hurry up and eat. What are you thinking about?"

Ling Yue couldn't rashly tell her mother what she had seen, and she couldn't act rashly.

So she quickly picked up her chopsticks and started eating heartily, only to see that her mother had already finished eating and was playing on her phone.

She asked casually, "Hey Mom, I see Aunt Lin busy running around the shop all the time, where's her husband?"

Liang Lina paused for a moment.

"Eat quickly, I'll tell you when we get back."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yue knew something was definitely amiss, so she sped up her eating.

After finishing their meal, the two left the dumpling restaurant hand in hand.

Ling Yue looked around and saw that there was no one else in the alley before asking in a low voice, "What do you want to tell me? Hurry up, I can't wait!"

Liang Lina looked disgusted. This person's temperament is still not stable at all. I wonder who she took after.

"Your Aunt Lin came to see me a couple of days ago and told me a lot. Sigh, we've been childhood friends since we were little kids, I never imagined she'd have gone through all this. Back then, her husband married into their family. Her parents definitely had their own agenda; they ran a dumpling restaurant and needed a man to help out. The first few years after they got married were okay; the family of four lived relatively harmoniously. But then they couldn't have children, and the neighbors started gossiping, saying it was her husband's problem, that he couldn't have children. After that, her husband started drinking heavily."

Just as Liang Lina finished speaking, a person suddenly appeared at the fork in the alley.

Liang Lina was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest, but luckily she reacted in time.

"Zhan Jun, are you going to help out at the dumpling restaurant?"

The man named Zhan Jun ignored them completely, brushed past them, and then turned back and said, "People who love to gossip, be careful your tongue doesn't disappear."

When Ling Yue saw that look in his eyes, she instantly felt a chill run down her spine...

Neither mother nor daughter dared to speak. Liang Lina pulled Ling Yue along and quickened her pace, hurrying home.

The two of them only relaxed when they closed the courtyard gate.

"Mom, was that Zhan Jun, the man from earlier, Aunt Lin's husband?"

"That's him. He was so handsome when he was young, but now all he does is drink and beat up your Aunt Lin. Your Aunt Lin is even planning to divorce him."

"Domestic violence! Why didn't Aunt Lin call the police?"

"They couldn't have children, so they adopted a boy from an orphanage. He just went to university in another city this year. Before, they were held back by the child at home, but now it's gotten even worse!"

Ling Yue understood immediately. This man named Zhan Jun was definitely not acting on a whim; he had probably been secretly planning it for a long time.

When I met him just now, I didn't see him being haunted by evil spirits, so sometimes people's hearts are much more terrifying than ghosts.

How can we prevent this tragedy from happening?
