Chapter 102: It Was Her
After the Zhou Mansion regained its peace, Old Master Zhou instructed his men to throw Xiao Cui’s corpse to the mass grave and send the evidence to the guards.
Old Master Zhou was only in his thirties, but he looked exceptionally old due to excessive grief. The fatigue on his face made him look like a fifty-year-old person.
“Thank you, Miss!”
Although she did not know what happened, she felt that Constable Wang’s sudden arrival probably had something to do with this lady.
Zhi Shu said, “Old Master, she’s a friend of Miss. It was because Miss visited her in her dreams that she suspected Young Master Bi… Bi Yu and Xiao Cui.”
Old Master Zhou was surprised. “This lady is Miner’s friend?”
Why had he not seen her before?
“Actually, I’m not Miss Zhou’s friend,” Lu Sheng said faintly. “However, she did visit me in my dream. Perhaps it’s because I passed by her when she died.”
Old Master Zhou might not believe her if she said she could see ghosts and communicate with them.
“She would rather visit you in your dreams than us, her relatives. She must be extremely disappointed,” Old Master Zhou said with tears in his eyes.
His Miner must have been disappointed in him because she saw how well he treated her murderer.
“She even asked me to tell you to be well and not miss her.”
“Sigh —”
Old Master Zhou shook his head and sighed. “No matter what, thank you for finding Miner’s murderer.”
Lu Sheng shook her head. “Then, I’ll leave first.”
“Miss, please wait!”
Old Master Zhou turned his head and mumbled to the butler. After a while, Butler Zhou walked over with something.
“It’s difficult for me to repay your kindness. Please accept my small token of appreciation.”
It was a white cloth bag. Lu Sheng did not know what was inside, but she kept it.
“The deceased is gone. Old Master Zhou, my condolences.”
Old Master Zhou nodded, his expression still very tired.
Butler Zhou sent Lu Sheng out. When Lu Sheng returned to town, she remembered about the shop and hurried to the Thousand Leaf Inn to find Lu Zhou.
Her master was the Third Prince now. There should be no problem for such a small matter, right?
She placed the items given by Old Master Zhou into the Space Bracelet, together with the box Chu Sihan had given her previously.
Speaking of the box Chu Sihan gave her, he told her to take a look when she returned. However, she had not seen it yet, and she did not know what was inside.
Lu Sheng used her X-ray vision to look at the box. She wanted to take a look after she returned.
She took out the jade token Lu Zhou gave her and asked passers-by about the way to the Thousand Leaf Inn.
“Just cross the bridge in front.”
“Thank you!”
After thanking the passer-by, Lu Sheng strode forward.
“It’s her.”
Not far away, Lin Jiang stared at the figure who had just walked onto the bridge and raised an eyebrow.
“Someone you know?”
Yu Yang asked him suspiciously.
“Someone you know?” Mu Yan pulled Lu Ran over and asked with a smile. “What do you know?”
Lin Jiang shook his head and smiled gently. “Nothing.”
“Brother Lin, this is Brother Lu. He’s my and Brother Yu’s classmate and friend,” introduced Mu Yan with a smile.
“Lu Ran!” Lu Ran nodded at him and introduced himself faintly.
Lin Jiang nodded. “Lin Jiang!”
Lu Ran glanced at the bridge and thought of the figure he saw just now. He hurriedly said to the three of them, “I still have some matters to attend to. The three of you can leave first. I’ll come over later.”
As he spoke, he was about to leave when Mu Yan pulled him back. “Hey! Brother Lu, didn’t we agree to tour the lake together?”
