Chapter 749: Strange Wind
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Holding the urn, Shen Yiyi collapsed to the side. The urn fell from her hand.
Bang! The lid of the urn opened and the ashes inside were blown away by the wind.
The wind suddenly stopped. Shen Yiyi stared blankly at the urn that had fallen to the ground.
After a while, she regained her senses and shouted heart-wrenchingly, “Mother—”
All the guests were stunned. The wind came too suddenly and they had not even reacted.
When they regained their senses, they saw an empty urn on the ground.
Shen Yiyi hugged the urn and wept bitterly in self-reproach. Old Master Shen did not expect such a thing to happen. After his shock, he hurriedly consoled his daughter.
“Alright, Yiyi. Perhaps your mother likes freedom and doesn’t want to stay in this urn. Don’t be too sad.”
“The wind just now was so strange…”
Mdm Cao spoke softly with lingering fear.
Not only did she find it strange, but all the guests also found it strange. After all, it was everyone’s first time encountering such a thing in a cemetery. It was more or less scary.
Her ashes had already been blown away by the wind. They had no choice but to bury the urn.
A few days later, when it was almost the new year, the capital’s police bureau suddenly received a nameless package. Inside was a video recording.
After playing it, they realized that at a corner, a car drove out and knocked down a child.
After the child got up, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The door opened and a woman with long wavy hair alighted. She was stunned when she saw the child.
Then, she scanned her surroundings. When she saw that no one was around, she started her car and left.
The child stumbled away.
There was also a note in the bag. The words were printed and the contents were:
Time: June 3, 2012
Place: Tian Shui District in City H
Kid knocked down: Leng Yang (deceased)
Escaped driver: Luo Nianhua, Shen Yi’s wife (deceased)
After reading the content, the police immediately contacted the police in City H to investigate what happened back then.
However, they found out that there were no surveillance cameras at that place, so they did not know the reason for the child’s death.
The police in the capital immediately sent the video over.
Soon, the Leng family was informed.
After knowing the truth, the Leng couple, who had just attended Mdm Shen’s funeral a few days ago, was sad and hateful. They immediately went to the Shen family.
They had no choice. Mdm Shen was already dead and they could not continue to pursue any criminal responsibility. Hence, they could only create a scene at the Shen family.
After the Shen family saw the video, they were shocked.
Especially Old Master Shen and Shen Yiyi. The two of them did not expect their wife and mother to watch a child die and escape.
Mdm Cao and Eldest Old Master Shen finally understood the contents of Mdm Shen’s diary.
In order not to blow things up, the Shen family promised to compensate them. However, the Leng family rejected them.
They did not want compensation or anything. After creating a scene, they stopped interacting with the Shen family.
Initially, when something happened to the Shen Group, the Leng family helped a lot. Now, there was one less party willing to help the Shen family.
Unable to fill the hole, the Shen Group was declared bankrupt in just a month.
Of course, this was all in the future.

Tomorrow was New Year’s Eve. At night, Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian each drove a car and pulled everyone to the night market to buy new year goods.
Fireworks had been banned for the past two years, and there were fewer shops selling them.
It was Elder Sen and Ye Luo’s first time celebrating the new year in this world.. The two of them were very excited during the process of buying new year goods.
