"Why do you two have to go all the way this late at night?" The old man took a sip of tea from the cup and sighed.

"Second uncle, I'm sorry to bother you so late. I probably told you on the phone that this matter is a bit strange."

Before he could finish his words, he interrupted him. Mr. Yuan snorted, "Okay, what's so strange! It's true that you two want a son!"

After being exposed by the words, Yuan Sizhe's face heated up. Relatively speaking, Mrs. Yuan was not so embarrassed. She said directly, "Second uncle, you are right. I do miss my son. It fell from my body." From childhood to adulthood, he didn�t say that he had good food and clothing, and he never suffered such a big crime. I feel sorry for you and I feel sad. I don�t think there is anything wrong with me. I know you have your rules, so I respect you and asked You, I just want to see him more."

"Cailan..." Called his wife's name, Yuan Sizhe was afraid of offending this moody second uncle.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Yuan was not angry this time. He just looked at her deeply, raised his eyelids and said, "If you want to see it, go and see it! You know which room it is."

Mrs. Yuan was overjoyed and was about to go upstairs.

"Don't wander around in other rooms," he added.

"Understood!" Mrs. Yuan responded quickly, and almost rushed upstairs without thinking about further words.

Yuan Sizhe naturally missed his son, but he couldn't follow his wife and run upstairs and leave the old man here alone. He sat down calmly opposite the old man and reached out to refill his tea.

"Second uncle, you have worked hard during this time."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense like this. Or don't bother me, and if you bother me, don't say such things." After taking a sip of tea, the old man looked at him and asked, "You said on the phone earlier, That Zhou Xiao, is dead?"

The hand pouring tea for himself paused, Yuan Sizhe nodded, "Well, it is said to be an explosion accident, and it is still under investigation."

"Zhou Xiao is dead?" A strange female voice sounded. Yuan Sizhe was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked towards the source of the voice.

A woman came in through the door leading to the backyard, patted the dirt on her hands, washed her hands at the sink next to her, and dried her hands with a paper towel before coming over.

And he actually just kept watching her movements like this, until she approached him, then looked at the old man hesitantly, "Second uncle..."

"..." After a glance, the old man touched his nose, "My apprentice."

"Hello, I'm Su Yun." Su Yun greeted him politely and nodded at him.

Yuan Sizhe felt that the name sounded a little familiar, but the most shocking part was when the old man said he was his apprentice?

Is this an acknowledgment that he is his closed disciple? ! Didn't expect the old man's closed disciple to be a woman? !

As Mr. Yuan's closest relatives, they naturally knew that he had accepted a closed disciple, and of course they also knew that this closed disciple was not his son. Although the outside world thought so, they really didn't know who he was. Well, the old man never said anything, and they didn't move around much before, and they didn't ask about it too much.

Now that the old man has taken the initiative to admit it, he is very surprised.

"You said just now that Zhou Xiao is dead?" She heard a little bit, but not much. "I heard a little bit outside the door."

"Do you know Zhou Xiao too?" Yuan Sizhe was startled for a moment, glanced at the old man's face, and then continued, "Yes, my wife and I saw him being carried out of the abandoned explosion factory."

"Have you seen it with your own eyes?" Su Yun raised her eyebrows and was also surprised.

dead? Just... dead?

After thinking about it, Yuan Sizhe added, "But I can't be sure. After all, the person was burned beyond recognition and it's hard to tell who he is."

"Then how do you know that person is Zhou Xiao?"

"Clothes! It was Mrs. Zhou who cried out that it was her daughter, but they are not sure. The body has been taken away by the forensic doctor. It may still be necessary to conduct relevant identification before the final result can be obtained." Sighed, Yuan Sizhe looked at the old man, "But I always feel that this matter is not that simple. Isn't the timing of this incident too coincidental?"

Su Yun pondered without saying a word and gently tapped her arm with her fingers. The old man glanced at her and then looked at Yuan Sizhe, "Coincidence is a coincidence, but there are many coincidences in this world. You can't rely on this alone. Just make a judgment.� JrNovels.com
