Chapter 342: Chapter 282 I Know_2

Before the old woman’s time was up, she had asked where the money was hidden, but that damn old woman said nothing.

In the end, while the old lady hadn’t yet closed her eyes, they searched her entire body, but, they didn’t find a single yuan.

They even meticulously searched the house and still didn’t find a penny, which was a bit strange.

Where the hell did the old lady’s money go?

Rong Wenze did remember what his mother said last night; she clearly had something valuable.

Even if it wasn’t found now, that didn’t mean it couldn’t be found later. Just have to keep looking.

So he became sharp-tongued, “Big sister, whatever my mother left behind doesn’t seem to concern you! You didn’t even associate with her when she was alive, and now that she’s gone, you start eyeing her possessions. Do you want my mother to rest in peace?”

“If you think that way, why aren’t you willing to handle her funeral? She lived here, so it should be done here. We don’t need to take anything of hers.” He initially wanted to say they wouldn’t even pay for the funeral arrangements.

But those words were swallowed back.

He still had to consider Yan’s father.

Rong Wenze gritted his teeth, “Fine, let’s do it here then. But, you agreed, don’t take any of her leftover belongings.”

“Yes, we won’t take anything left behind,” Madam Rong added hurriedly, “unless the old lady specifically left it for us.”

Yu Wenhui snickered upon hearing this… The old lady’s already dead, how could she leave anything for you?

Dream on!

“Since you don’t live in that house now and it’s just sitting empty, why not handle the funeral first? No matter what, my big brother is the eldest son, and that family tie can’t be erased.”

Madam Rong didn’t look at her but turned to Rong Wenze, “If you choose our family, you won’t get anything, if we do it here, we only want what she specifically left for us.”

Thinking of the unknown valuables, Rong Wenze gritted his teeth, “Fine, let’s handle it here.”

Yu Suhui glared, “I disagree…”

“Shut up.” Rong Wenze yelled at her, “My mother lived here, naturally, her funeral should also be here. If you disagree, then get the hell out.”

Yu Suhui was furious, she really wanted to retort, just get the hell out.

But, she forcefully held back her words.

Rong Wenze then turned to Rong Wenming, “Big brother, let’s keep vigil here tonight, and once our clansmen arrive tomorrow, we’ll discuss how to proceed.”

Rong Wenming gave him a look, “Okay.”

Meanwhile, Rong Yan and Qin Ye had arrived by bicycle.

“Honey, it looks like someone’s sneaking around at the entrance of the house.”

Once Qin Ye mentioned it, Rong Yan immediately looked over there, and sure enough, there was someone.

What is he doing?

They weren’t far off, and Qin Ye quickly cycled over.

He braked, and Rong Yan jumped off.

The person who was peeking turned in panic, attempting to run away.

But obviously, Rong Yan was faster, reaching out and grabbing his collar in an instant.

“Why are you running?”

The boy, about twelve, named Ji Ming, was an orphan who lived in a nearby dilapidated house, surviving by scavenging unwanted items or begging.

Sometimes kind neighbors would give him a little food, just enough to scrape by.

The boy stiffened when he was caught, and when he saw it was Rong Yan, he recognized her.

Because before the New Year, Rong Yan had caused a commotion here… At that time, Ji Ming had witnessed her kicking down this gate and flipping Rong Wenze’s family.

So, he was deeply impressed by her, of course, he recognized her.

“Let me go, and I’ll tell you something,” Ji Ming whispered.

Rong Yan raised an eyebrow, and immediately let go of him.

Actually, it was because the stench coming from the boy was too overpowering, and she was somewhat overwhelmed.

“Speak! What is it?”

Ji Ming glanced towards the yard, then whispered to Rong Yan, “Last night, I saw that Rong Manman trying to push her grandmother… right over there.”

He pointed his finger.

“Later, her grandma discovered her, so it didn’t happen, but tonight, I saw her push again, right inside this house. I was just peering through the dog hole… When her grandma was about to enter the room, Rong Manman pushed hard, and the old lady fell harshly on those steps.”

Rong Yan’s eyes dangerously narrowed, “Are you telling the truth?”

Ji Ming immediately raised his dirty hands, “Of course I’m telling the truth, I saw it with my own eyes.”

Qin Ye was also quite shocked by this news.

His own granddaughter caused her grandmother’s death?

Failed once and tried again twice? How heartlessly insane is that?

“Why were you crawling at that dog hole? It wasn’t dark yet, right? Weren’t you afraid of being seen?” Rong Yan interrogated.

“I…” Ji Ming’s face flashed with shyness, “I heard the old lady cursing, so I went to take a look… Luckily, there was no one around…”

Rong Yan looked at the expression on his face, “… Alright, if this is true, they will look for you…”

At that moment, a loud rumbling sound was heard.

Ji Ming suddenly covered his stomach; he hadn’t eaten in days! The reason he didn’t sleep last night was that he was too hungry, so he decided to go out and find something to eat.

That’s when he saw Rong Manman attempting to push her grandmother.

He had been paying attention to this matter for the past few days because he thought Rong Manman would harm the old lady again, and unexpectedly… she really did.

What a conscienceless deed.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Rong Yan pulled out a packet of cookies from her pocket, “Thank you for telling me all this. Here, take this and eat.”

Ji Ming’s eyes immediately could not look away; he kept swallowing saliva, extremely famished.

He snatched it straight away and then ran off.

Rong Yan didn’t mind; this boy probably lived around here… easy to find.

“Let’s go inside.”

Qin Ye, “Should I go check where that boy lives first?”

No matter what, he always stood by his wife.

Rong Yan thought for a moment, “Alright.”

So, Qin Ye walked in the direction the boy had run off.

But Rong Yan entered the courtyard and saw her mother walking out of the old lady’s room.

Madam Rong, noticing she was alone, was somewhat puzzled, “Yanyan, where’s Qin? Didn’t he come with me?”

Rong Yan, “He came, but he had something to take care of, Mom, come here, I have something to tell you.”

Madam Rong, puzzled, “What is it?” Though her mouth was curious, she still walked toward her.

When she got close, Rong Yan whispered in her ear…

After listening, Madam Rong incredulously widened her eyes, “Are you serious?”

Rong Yan nodded, “It was said by that little boy just now; it should be true, otherwise, he wouldn’t make up such things. So, let me go inside and check, and if it’s true, I’ll have Qin Ye call the police.”

People that harmful shouldn’t be left outside; they must face legal punishment.

Madam Rong heavily nodded, “Okay.”

Can a person be this wicked?

Previously, when she said the old lady’s food was suspicious, it was just a casual remark, but who knew someone actually killed the old lady.

And it was her own granddaughter… utterly malicious.

As the mother and daughter were about to enter the house, Rong Manman came out.

Rong Manman purely didn’t want to stay in that room anymore because she felt guilty, so staying with the old lady in the same room made her feel extremely uneasy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she came out, she saw Rong Yan, “Why are you looking at me like that so late?”

Rong Yan’s despicable gaze looked rather frightening.

It made her scalp tingle.

Rong Yan sneered, “I am looking at how dark a person’s heart can be.”

Rong Manman’s heart skipped a beat, “What do you mean?”

Rong Yan didn’t bother with her and just walked past the people in her way, then entered the house…
