Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Can’t Let the Body Be Burnt_1
Even if I can’t confront her directly now, the accusations held over her head would be enough for her to be severely cursed behind her back.
"I can’t believe it, she’s so cruel." The ladies discuss indignantly.
"What did you say?" Ye Lu suddenly appears before them, her eyes filled with shock. "When did Old Sir Shang pass away?"
"Oh, stop playing dumb, wasn’t it you who angered him to death? Of course, it was the day you visited." The group of rich wives snort disdainfully.
Ye Lu shakes.
How was it possible? When she had visited, although Sir Shang’s condition had not improved, it hadn’t deteriorated either. How could he have died on the very same day?
A chill enters her heart.
Something is definitely wrong. The news reported that Old Sir Shang died of illness, but did he really die suddenly from a seizure?
And now, Yuan Jiayin is deliberately trying to direct the blame onto me, making everyone in high society believe that I was the one who caused Old Sir Shang’s death.
In that case, Yuan Jiayin must have something to do with this.
Considering everything she has done before, the despicable ways she has manipulated events, twisting right and wrong, and the damning files about her past that I gave to Old Sir Shang...
Could it be, could this vile woman have resorted to murder?
She gasps for breath, staring fiercely at Yuan Jiayin: "I will definitely uncover the cause of Old Sir Shang’s death. Some venomous women, so wicked at heart, wait for your retribution. Don’t be surprised if Old Sir Shang haunts you in the dead of night."
Yuan Jiayin stiffens, her face darkens to an extreme degree.
Having committed murder, she is not fearless. Especially since the old man had lived in this villa for decades and his belongings were scattered all around. When she stays here at night, she can’t sleep peacefully, always feeling like someone is watching her in the dark.
"Who are you trying to hint at? You’ve done so many shameful things, pushed Old Sir Shang over the edge. Now you want to throw your dirt on me? You are truly malicious. You should know that on the day of Old Sir Shang’s death, I was in the hospital, my doctor can testify to that. Before spewing lies, you should have figured this out." Yuan Jiayin defends herself assertively.
Upon hearing this, the rich wives were more convinced that it was Ye Lu who had driven Old Sir Shang to his death.
Ye Lu takes a deep breath and suddenly rushes inside.
She wants to get in and stop Old Sir Shang’s burial.
According to the process, after bidding farewell to the body, Old Sir Shang’s corpse must be cremated. If Yuan Jiayin did this, there must be some trace. If she cremates the body, the evidence will be completely destroyed.
"Stop her." Seeing Ye Lu suddenly rush inside, Yuan Jiayin panics. This woman must have realized something, and she absolutely cannot let her see Old Sir Shang’s corpse.
She quickly calls for the bodyguards. The bodyguards immediately rush in, seize the fleeing Ye Lu, and drag her out.
Yuan Jiayin’s heart pounds. Luckily, she hadn’t let her get inside and cause a commotion, or it would have been hard to control the situation.
Her eyes flash coldly, she grits her teeth and orders the bodyguards, "Drag her out immediately, don’t let her tarnish the memorial ceremony for Old Sir Shang, or you’ll be held accountable."
Ye Lu is roughly seized by several bodyguards. She turns to look at Yuan Jiayin and sees a flicker of panic in her eyes, which further convinces her that this matter definitely involves this woman.
She must not leave, she can’t let Old Sir Shang’s body be burned.
But how can she, alone, handle so many bodyguards?
"Let her go, what are you doing?" Suddenly, a cold voice filled with anger echoes from the entrance, sternly ordering the rough bodyguards to stop.
