Chapter 205 - 205: Poison



“When an elderly relative from the clan came to offer condolences for their grandfather, they noticed that his lips had turned purple and suspected poisoning. Wen Nian’s parents wanted to have an autopsy performed, but Old Master Wei strongly opposed it, insisting that your grandfather’s body should not be dissected.”

“During that time, social customs were not as open as they are now. Many people believed that their grandfather’s deteriorating condition was due to his disability, leading to his despair. The family elders disagreed with the idea of an autopsy. Additionally, your uncle didn’t want to pay for your grandfather’s burial. And so, he supported Old Master Wei. Thus, we had no choice but to proceed with the burial.”

Upon hearing these details, Wen Nian and Wen Yu felt that there was no issue. “The discoloration of the lips and the peculiarities occurring when Old Master Wei was present didn’t prove much. It could be that their grandfather’s emotions worsened whenever he saw Old Master Wei, reminding him of the leg injury.”

Wen Xing shook his head. “If the situation were just like that, we wouldn’t have been concerned about it for so many years. We used to have a cat in our family that liked to wander around and would disappear for a few days without returning home. But on the day of your grandfather’s burial, it came back. When we returned home from the mountains, we found it in your grandfather’s room drinking the remaining water from his bowl. Within an hour, it died, foaming at the mouth.”

Zhou Mei slapped her thigh with regret on her face. “It’s all my fault. I acted quickly because I found it unhygienic for the cat to drink from that bowl. I thoroughly washed it with hot water, so even if there was something, it was washed away.”

Wen Nian furrowed her brow and asked, “How many days was the mourning hall set up at home?”

Wen Xing replied, “Because it was during the hottest days of summer, we only set it up for two days. On the third morning, we carried him up the mountain for burial. Your grandfather’s room was next to the living room, and your mother and 1 took turns guarding the mourning hall. After your grandfather passed away, except for me going in to take some personal items to put in his coffin for burial, absolutely no one else entered. The only outsider who came to our house on the day your grandfather died was Old A^aster Wei.”

Wen Nian pondered with lowered eyes. When it came to harming someone, motive was essential. Although her uncle was an adopted child and had already separated from the family, he had no knowledge of the hidden treasures underground. There were no financial disputes, and the fact that neither family received any inheritance after their grandfather’s death confirmed this. In a situation where there was nothing to gain, her uncle had no reason to be involved in a murder case.

With these factors eliminated, Wei Feng, who frequently visited their home, became the most suspicious person.

Combining her experiences from two lives, along with the appearance of the suspicious man with the tiger head tattoo around Wei Feng, the intricate connections led her to doubt that Wei Feng was hiding secrets. And perhaps, the starting point of everything might be her grandfather’s cause of death.

The thought “People die for money, and birds die for food” crossed Wen Nian’s mind, and her first idea was an financial dispute. “Mom, Dad, did grandfather leave behind any written materials among his belongings? Have you ever seen his bank passbook?”

Wen Nian’s idea was simple. With so many gold bars hidden in their home, whether converted into cash or spent, any normal person would keep records. Wen Nian wanted to obtain the passbook.

Wen Xing shook his head. “Your grandfather didn’t have a habit of keeping a diary, but he did have two bank passbooks. However, the balance in them never exceeded 1,000 yuan.”

Although Wen Xing spoke with certainty, Wen Nian was not ready to give up. She planned to return to her hometown after finishing her current tasks.

Listening to these past events, Wen Yu’s brow remained furrowed. “The truth of what happened back then is yet to be confirmed, but now, Wei’s family bullying Wen Nian is the immediate concern. We must not let it go easily this time!”

Upon hearing this, Wen Xing became angry. “Zhou Mei, bring out the 1 million yuan compensation card given by Wei Feng. Tomorrow, I’ll go to Wei Group. If Wei Feng doesn’t provide an explanation, I’ll have a serious talk with him!” “1 million yuan?!” Wen Yu’s eyes widened upon hearing the number.

Seeing Wen Yu’s reaction, Zhou Mei patted his back. “Look at how useless you are!”

After inquiring further, Wen Nian learned about the 1 million yuan compensation. It involved a marriage arrangement and a significant amount of compensation. No matter how she looked at it, Wen Nian felt that Wei Feng had ill intentions.

Zhou Mei and Wen Yu also decided to go together, bolstering their resolve.

However, Wen Nian had no intention of involving her family members in this matter. Wei Feng was ruthless and cunning, and having their names associated with him would not be a good thing.

“Mom, Dad, brother, 1 have a plan for this. Confronting Wei Feng directly won’t be enough. I need to make the internet believe that I am an innocent victim. Otherwise, if Wei’s family issues a statement, there might still be people who think they are taking the blame because they owe us a favor. If so, I’ll truly become a scapegoat..”
