“Oh, yes, I did give her that bucket of brake oil.” Grandpa Feng hesitated and said, “Wait!”
Mei Shu, with a puzzled expression, watched the stooped figure of the old man as he walked into the warehouse.
She and Mei Feng looked at each other, both seeing deep confusion in each other’s eyes.
Mei Feng lowered his voice and said, “Sister, don’t you think this old man remembers what happened back then too well?”
Mei Shu nodded and said, “1 think he probably knows something. Let’s follow him and take a look!”
The two of them reached an agreement and quietly followed behind.
Grandpa Feng quickly walked to the small warehouse at the back. After pushing open the heavy wooden door, dust immediately fell on the old man.
Mei Shu quickly took out a tissue to help him brush away the dust.
Grandpa Feng smiled at her and said, “Girl, you’re such a nice person. Few young people are as enthusiastic as you now. They all look down on old men like me.”
“It’s nothing. 1 believe there are still many people willing to do this now.” As Mei Shu spoke, he had already wiped the dust off the old man’s shoulder. Then, he said in confusion, “Mr. Feng, what do you want to find? Just tell us. My brother and I will help you find it.”
Mei Feng hurriedly echoed, “Yes, Mr. Feng, you’re not in good health. Don’t tire yourself out. Just let us know if you need anything.”
Grandpa Feng heaved a sigh of relief and pointed at a pile of junk in the innermost part of the warehouse. “After the accident, the manager asked me to throw away the bucket of unused brake oil. I couldn’t bear to throw it away, so I secretly kept it. Later, I remembered that the brake oil would be wasted if it expired, so I found an iron bucket to store it in.”
Mei Shu never expected to have such a big surprise this time.
Mei Feng clenched his fists in excitement and immediately rolled up his sleeves. “Mr. Feng, did you say that the bucket of oil is here now? I’ll find it now!”
“Oh, child, be careful. Don’t bump into anything.” Grandpa Feng watched nervously as Mei Feng’s fair hands suddenly touched dirty junk.
Mei Shu comforted him softly, “Don’t worry. Just let Xiao Feng find the things. By the way, why has this bucket of brake oil been stored for so many years? Did no one use it later?”
“This oil has been used by the dead. Who still dares to use it? They’re all afraid of bad luck!” After Grandpa Feng said this, he remembered that the dead person he mentioned was the mother of these two children and immediately stopped awkwardly. “That’s not what I meant. Children, don’t misunderstand!”
“You don’t have to apologize to us. You’ve already helped us a lot by keeping this bucket of brake oil.”
Mei Shu helped him sit down on a wooden chair.
As they spoke, Mei Feng had already quickly turned over the pile of junk inside. He finally found the oil bucket full of dust and ran over happily. “Sister! Found it!”
Mei Shu immediately looked at the old man, asking him for confirmation.
Grandpa Feng nodded and said, “Yes, yes, that’s it! I didn’t expect you to come to see me for such a trivial matter. That car accident was too tragic! This bucket of brake oil is probably expired. In fact, it shouldn’t be useful to find it. But if you want to take it away, go ahead. Anyway, it’s useless for us to keep it.”
Mei Shu immediately said gratefully, “Thank you so much. By the way, did anyone come to find this bucket of brake oil after the car accident?”
Grandpa Feng narrowed his eyes and thought carefully for a while before saying, “Yes! There is! It’s a young man. He asked me to give him the brake oil. The brake oil was considered the property of the manor back then. If it’s lost, I’ll have to compensate. Besides, his attitude is not good, just like my two damn sons! I didn’t give it to him, and he didn’t come to me later.”
At the mention of this, Grandpa Feng couldn’t help but feel a little angry. He began to nag at them. “You don’t know, but when that young man saw that I refused to give the things to him no matter what, he actually wanted to hit me. I’m not afraid of this! If he has the ability, he can just beat me to death! Anyway, I don’t want to live anymore! But I don’t think he has the courage to kill me. He can’t do anything to me!”
At this moment, Grandpa Feng looked a little smug.
Mei Shu was almost certain that the young man Grandpa Feng mentioned was Zhou Nan!
He had wanted to take away the bucket of brake oil to destroy the evidence after the incident, but he didn’t expect to meet Grandpa Feng, who had a worse temper than him. Later, Zhou Nan didn’t come to ask for it again. He probably didn’t want to cause trouble because the matter had passed.
However, this gave them direct evidence that someone had indeed tampered with Bai Ling’s car accident.
Mei Feng clenched the handle of the oil drum, wishing he could send the things to the police station now and ask the police to re-investigate the accident..
