The news of Goa Mei's sudden death brought a wave of shock not only in the military district but even in the Fu house. They all have seen Gao Mei who came to their house just a day before yesterday and invited them to a meal, even though the Old master Fu did not have any good feelings towards the Chen family after the fiasco at their house, he was a man who firmly believed that one should always step up in the bad times of others even if he was to distance himself from the good times of the same people.
Thus, he went to the Chen family to offer his condolences and ask Old master Chen if he needed anything or wanted his help with something.
Song Yan too followed her grandfather-in-law, she wanted to see Gao Mei and her corpse that was molten beyond recognition. It will help her in getting closer to her goal since Fu Shu Chang was proving a tough nut to crack, she could always force Fu Shu Chang into confessing what was wrong with him but if she did then she would be punished by the heavens will for using her powers on someone innocent.
Since she has been rather close to Chen Chu Chu these past few days, she did not think much and changed into many sombre-looking clothes before going to the Chen house with Fu Yu Sheng.
As for Li Wenyi, she stayed behind since she did not want to be called names by the people of the military district lest they all thought that she was being too fake by showing her concern to Chen Chu Chu who was rather close to her husband. Fu Yu Shen and Fu Rong did not like the Chen family to begin with and thus they refused to go as well.
Fu Shu Chang was already at the Chen house together with the rest of the colleagues in the research lab.
As soon as Song Yan stepped inside the Chen house she felt a surge of yin energy coming towards her followed by the cries and screams of women and children. Walking beside Old Master Fu, she walked over to Chen Chu Chu and Chen Xi who was crying on the side with red and swollen eyes. When Chen Chu Chu sensed that someone was standing beside her, she raised her head and looked at Song Yan, with a tearful voice she sniffed and asked, "Sister Yan, you are here?"
Madam Chen was trying to coax the two kids who were crying for their mother when she heard her daughter's voice, she subconsciously looked over but when she saw that it was just Song Yan, she did not say anything and turned away even though she was upset with how things turned out at that day, she was still grateful that the Fu family came to offer their condolences at such a delicate time it was just that she was too busy with the two young children that she couldn't even think of a way to calm them down much less talk with the guests who were coming to their house.
Madam Chen was very satisfied and happy with Gao Mei as her daughter-in-law, the latter was respectful and she even gave her a grandson along with a sweet granddaughter. With a family background similar to hers, Madam Chen has always felt rather close to Gao Mei. She still could not wrap her head around the fact that her daughter in law who was fine just the day before and was even talking about taking her children to the beach just yesterday was suddenly gone and that too in a way that made it impossible for anyone to look at her even in her final moments.
Song Yan did sense Madam Chen look over to where she was standing but her concern at the moment was not the older woman instead it was Chen Chu Chu and Chen Xi who were standing on the side. She carefully examined Chen Chu Chu and Chen Xi's complexion and noticed that they looked healthier than before, even though their life aura was a mess it seemed to have no effect on them. What was more, the smell of corpses was even more profound than before causing Song Yan to almost gag.
She has smelled the scent of blood from beings who were not humans and were harming those who were innocent but she has never seen anyone who smelled like a corpse despite being alive like this! It only happened when someone was feasting on the flesh of humans. But the beings who feasted on the flesh of humans can never be untouched from the wrath of the heavens which made her wonder how Chen Chu Chu and Chen Xi were fine.
Song Yan observed Chen Chu Chu and Chen Xi for a few more minutes, since she was not close to Chen Xi, she turned to Chen Chu Chu and then said in a worried voice, " I heard what happened and I couldn't sit still in the house knowing something so tragic took place in your house which is why I came to see you, Sister Chen." Seeing that Chen Chu Chu was crying so harshly she couldn't help but ask, " Sister Chen do you want me to bring you some water?"
Chen Chu Chu shook her head as she raised her hand and then wiped her tears with the handkerchief that she was holding in her hand. Her eyes were as red as rabbits as she shed tears of grievances before she turned to look at Song Yan and said, " I am glad that you came to see me, Sister Yan even though…even though my mother was so harsh on your family."
As she spoke she leaned down on Song Yan's shoulder as she hugged her and started crying, and no sooner did she do that, Song Yan felt a sharp sting in her nerves that she blocked with her spiritual energy. She knew that Chen Chu Chu was trying to find out what happened to the little snake that she sent into her room last night, she was not worried about Chen Chu Chu getting suspicious of her, since she was wearing a talisman around her neck to divert the suspicions.
She still hasn't found what was wrong with Chen Chu Chu yet, which was why she couldn't allow the latter to get doubtful of her lest she becomes alert against her.
