CHAPTER 392: CHAPTER 392 INTENTIONAL MURDER

"Mom, are we not waiting for Dad anymore?" Sun Chunsu said.

"Although Dad is slow, we should still wait for him a bit," Sun Muyun said.

"Why wait, he can’t run away anyway."

He Qingyan, holding one daughter in each hand, walked out of the store.

The three little girls she encountered today were really strange, quite extraordinary.

In the year since her death, she had seen many ghosts, but such special ones were a first encounter.

She felt that this might help her understand more about herself, perhaps it was some kind of fate.

When she came out of the fishing store, she saw the three little girls surrounding a young man on the street.

Especially the smallest and liveliest one, the little girl named Tao Hongdou, trying to hug the other’s leg but instead was lifted up by hand.

So she immediately knew who the brother mentioned by the little girl named Lin Yunduo, really was.

She looked at the shadows on the ground, her face showing surprise; the other person was actually human.

"Mom, that brother is a human, he can see us," Sun Chunsu said.

"Yeah, he even smiled at me in the store earlier," Sun Muyun said.

"Really?" He Qingyan was somewhat surprised; she hadn’t noticed that before.

Watching the other place the little girl named Tao Hongdou down gently, displaying a pleasant demeanor.

He Qingyan hesitated briefly, then said to her daughters, "You go follow Daddy first, I’ll come find you soon."

"But I want to play with the miss," Sun Chunsu said.

Sun Muyun nodded eagerly as well.

They hadn’t had friends for a long time, always wandering with their mother, unable to eat or touch anything, so they were very lonely.

"Be obedient," He Qingyan said.

Hearing this, the two little ones didn’t dare to argue further, so obediently turned around and returned to the store.

"Stay close to Daddy, don’t get lost," He Qingyan hurriedly added.

"I know; if I get lost, I’ll wait for Mom at that door."

It was either Sun Chunsu or Sun Muyun who responded, pointing across the street toward the courthouse.

"Yes, that’s smart."

He Qingyan complimented, and after watching them return to the store, she strode toward Shen Siyuan.

"Master, hello."

He Qingyan was very polite, initiating a greeting first.

"Why does everyone like to call me master, my surname is Shen, you can call me Mr. Shen," Shen Siyuan said.

"Alright, Mr. Shen," He Qingyan acquiesced smoothly.

"Eh? Where’s the little sister?" Dou Dou looked behind He Qingyan.

Hearing that, He Qingyan felt a bit awkward; Shen Siyuan chuckled, guessing her thoughts.

Facing this unknown, while she was curious, she also probably had doubts, so she didn’t want her daughters to take risks, hence sent them away.

Actually, Shen Siyuan wanted to say, if he really meant harm, such actions by her would be futile.

Probably she knew this too, but it was just for peace of mind.

"Mr. Shen is amazing, being able to communicate with ghosts," He Qingyan said.

"Died in a car accident? That’s really a pity," Shen Siyuan said.

"Eh, Mr. Shen, you know, oh dear, you must have seen my tombstone yesterday," He Qingyan recalled Dou Dou’s words.

This woman always had a smile, trying hard to create a lively atmosphere, clearly because she had requests to make.

"Yes, I happened to see it at Huang Chunling Cemetery yesterday, didn’t expect to meet you today, it’s truly fate," Shen Siyuan said.

"I saw it first," Dou Dou claimed credit.

"Got it, go play over there," Shen Siyuan said.

Hearing this, Dou Dou thought for a moment, then ran towards the fishing store again, very interested in the little sister who could call her ’sister.’

Duoduo immediately followed suit and ran over, only Xiao Yue stayed behind, obediently standing to the side.

"Was that your husband just now, from the courthouse opposite?" Si Yuan asked.

"Um." Mentioning her husband, He Qingyan’s face showed a trace of sorrow.

"I see you with two children, always following behind your husband. Is there something unresolved that you can’t let go of?"

"How could I let go? My life was good, the kids are still so young, to suddenly be gone... Every day, I wander aimlessly with them, not even sure how much longer I can hold on. Maybe one day when I can’t hold on anymore, I might choose to let go..." He Qingyan’s voice had a slight choke.

At this moment, Dou Dou and Duoduo came running out of the fishing shop with the two little sisters.

He Qingyan’s face showed a hint of helplessness, but she quickly masked her sadness with a forced smile.

"Why didn’t you two listen? Why did you run out?" she pulled her daughters back to her side.

"The big sister said she could let her Potato teach us to fly," Sun Muyun said naively.

"Yeah, big sister said she’s the boss, and Potato listens to her," Sun Chunsu added.

Si Yuan: →_→

Dou Dou: -_-||

Dou Dou quietly moved to hide behind Duoduo, who also quietly shifted to the side, trying to expose her.

Just then, one of the little girls suddenly broke free from her mother’s hand and ran straight to Si Yuan. Looking up curiously, she asked, "Are you the big sister’s Potato? Can you teach me to fly like her?"

"Muyun," He Qingyan quickly called out, afraid she would misspeak.

"It’s okay." Si Yuan gently patted her little head.

The little girl was chubby, like a little snow dumpling.

"How old are you this year?" Si Yuan asked.

"Four."

"Oh, then you’re one year older than Dou Dou," Si Yuan said with a smile.

"Ha ha, so it turns out you’re the little sister, not the big sister," Duoduo happily said.

Dou Dou: (⊙o⊙)

I’ve just become an older sister, and just like that, it’s gone?

"Can you teach me to fly?"

The little girl looked up with a pair of watery big eyes.

"Let’s not rush," Si Yuan gently patted her little head again.

Then he said to He Qingyan, "If you have something you want to tell your husband, I can make him see you."

Upon hearing this, He Qingyan did not look pleased; instead, she hesitated.

"Is there something concerning you?" Si Yuan was curious.

"Actually, our deaths were no accident," He Qingyan said.

"Oh, someone dared to target a judge’s family?" Si Yuan was somewhat surprised.

"In this world, there’s no shortage of desperados," He Qingyan sighed.

"My husband offended some people, and those people wanted to teach him a lesson, so they targeted us. The murderer who hit us was caught at the scene, and legally, it was ruled as drunk driving, but in reality, he wasn’t the actual murderer, there are others behind him..." He Qingyan continued.

"Does your husband know about this?" Si Yuan was curious.

"I’m not very sure. For the past year or so, he’s been going to and from work on time each day without any peculiar behaviors, and I don’t really understand some of the work he does at the courthouse..." said He Qingyan.

"Do you know who the people behind the scenes are?"

He Qingyan shook her head.

To know everything, it seems this matter is a bit troublesome.

Meanwhile, Huang Yuntao sat in the car, watching Si Yuan outside, who seemed like he was talking to the air, like someone with a mental disturbance.

Knowing it wasn’t the case, he still found it amusing.

So he took out his phone, preparing to capture it.

But just at that moment, Si Yuan suddenly turned his head in his direction, scaring him into pretending nothing was out of the ordinary and quickly putting away his phone.

Then, he saw Si Yuan stride towards him.

PS: I’ll resume three updates tomorrow; these past two days have been spent doing therapy, hoping it brings some relief~
