MY LOVING MARRIAGE - Season 20 Episode 77

The person who was carried out was Uncle Ming. Of course, there was no need to resuscitate him, because he was no longer breathing.

The person on the stretcher had lost consciousness. Many parts of his body were charred, and one could barely recognize his old face. When Dongfang Liuyun saw him clearly, his entire body went limp.

It was Uncle Ming.

He had been by Elder Dongfang’s side for many years and was alone. After Elder Dongfang passed away, he retired. All these years, he had been working for the Dongfang family and treated Dongfang Liuyun very well.

Uncle Ming was Dongfang Liuyun’s most respected elder apart from Elder Dongfang, so she could hand De Bao House over to him with ease. She did not expect such a thing to happen…

A few days ago, when she came over, this amiable elder had said that he would definitely attend her and Qi Lei’s wedding, but now…

…

This disaster came very suddenly, and the losses were huge. Dongfang Liuyun’s De Bao House was almost destroyed, and even the other shop next to it was affected.

The fire spread from around 10 p.m. until it was almost midnight before it was extinguished.

Dongfang Liuyun felt like she was in a daze and stood there the whole time.

Qi Lei was very worried. If Yang Sheng rushed over to deal with the funeral, there would be a lot of disputes. Of course, the main reason was the accident.

Qi Lei himself knew very well that the maintenance workers had personally come to check on the natural gas pipeline a few days ago. Uncle Ming was also such a careful person. He would not have made such a big mistake.

“Master Qi, why don’t you send Missus back to rest first? Leave this to me. I’ll take care of Uncle Ming’s funeral matters. Also, don’t worry about the matters here.”

Yang Sheng saw that Dongfang Liuyun looked very pale, and his eyes were naturally filled with worry.

“Mmm, call us if there’s anything.”

Qi Lei left this sentence and helped Dongfang Liuyun to the car.

…

Everything happened so suddenly that Dongfang Liuyun was caught off guard.

In the car, Dongfang Liuyun did not say anything. She was in a state of deep thought. Qi Lei did not disturb her.

There was no expression on her face. He could only see a hint of pain between her brows.

“Drink some water. Don’t be too sad. The police will investigate thoroughly. I’ll draw you a bath. Take a good bath and rest early, okay?”

In the Grand Lake Villa area, Dongfang Liuyun was sitting on the large sofa in the living room. Qi Lei thoughtfully poured her a glass of water.

Dongfang Liuyun weakly reached out to prop up her slightly drowsy head. She took a few deep breaths before speaking in a hoarse voice, “I still can’t believe that this is real. Uncle Ming is a very cautious person. How could he…”

“Don’t think about anything. I can see that you’re not in great condition, go upstairs and rest for a while. Let me arrange the details.”

“Mmm, I just keep feeling like I can’t breathe. Don’t let Grandmother know about this for now. I was planning on going back to visit her tomorrow.”

Dongfang Liuyun thought about it and gave the order. She took the water and drank a mouthful.

“Let’s sleep first. Uncle Ming… I’ll make the necessary arrangements.”

“Mmm, I find this too sudden. I’ll have to trouble you, help me find out what happened. Recently, these ominous feelings have been getting more and more intense. I have a feeling that this matter isn’t simple. Uncle Ming… I’m a little… sad…”

As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, her voice could not help but contain some bitterness. She could not continue speaking.

“Let’s see what happened first. If anything, we’ll talk about it tomorrow. Go up and rest for now.”

…

The dazed Dongfang Liuyun finally went upstairs under Qi Lei’s urging.

Such a huge matter naturally could not escape the media. Even though Yang Sheng had tried his best to suppress the news, the incident had already been reported the next morning.

Yang Sheng had not slept the entire night and rushed over early in the morning.

Yang Sheng had already arrived at Grand Lake Villa area when the sun had just risen.

Qi Lei also woke up very early. When Yang Sheng came over, he had already prepared breakfast.

“Sit down and have breakfast together. Let’s talk.”

Qi Lei placed the plate in his hand on the table in front of him. He pointed to the seat opposite him and gestured for Yang Sheng to sit down.

Yang Sheng naturally did not stand on ceremony and sat down as well. Qi Lei poured warm milk for him.

“Thank you, Master Qi.”

Yang Sheng took the milk.

“How did it go?”

Qi Lei picked up his knife and fork and began to enjoy his breakfast elegantly as he asked.

Yang Sheng took a sip of milk before he spoke, “The police are already investigating the cause of the accident. I got someone to investigate the surveillance cameras in the vicinity overnight. A few hours before the accident, they did not find anything unusual. De Bao House had its door open as usual. There were also a lot of customers coming and going, especially now that it’s near the end of the year. A large antique auction will be held at the International Art Exhibition Hall in a few days, so that street is livelier than usual.”

“Also, the police are going to send Uncle Ming’s body for an autopsy, so…” Yang Sheng said with some hesitation.

“Then try to cooperate with the police. We must get to the bottom of the matter. Go and check if there are any unusual people who have entered De Bao House recently. Also, go and find out about the natural gas company. Make sure to appease the family members involved, don’t let the matter get into a conflict.” Qi Lei instructed him very quickly.

Yang Sheng nodded. “Don’t worry, Master Qi. I’ve already made the arrangements. The police are quite efficient. We’ll just have to pay more attention. The person investigating this matter this time is Captain Wang from before.”

“Captain Wang, who was in charge of my mother’s investigation?”

Qi Lei listened and raised his eyes to look at Yang Sheng indifferently.

Yang Sheng nodded. “Yes, it’s him! The reason we were able to get to the bottom of things back then, apart from everyone’s hard work, was also thanks to his hard work.”

“Speaking of which, I haven’t thanked him properly yet,” Qi Lei said in a low voice. He looked down thoughtfully. After thinking for a moment, he continued, “Filter through the recent matters of the Dongfang family and see if anyone has been acting oddly.”

“Master Qi, are you suspecting that someone is targeting Missus again?” Yang Sheng frowned.

“Too many things have happened around her recently. We can’t help but be suspicious. Even if it’s not, it’s still good to be careful. Go ahead and do it.”

Qi Lei took a deep breath. When he thought of Dongfang Liuyun, he naturally felt uneasy.
