Chapter 329: Taking Off a Vest in Front of Master Sheng (1)

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Master Zhai didn’t come all the way to Hengyuan City just to meet the girl in the photo that Yu Xi had sent him last time.

He also had another matter to deal with.

The original purpose of Zhai Yunsheng’s visit to Hengyuan City was to investigate a matter related to his father.

Zhai Yunsheng’s father had died whilst trying to save his second uncle. And thus, it was actually his second uncle who had caused the trouble back then.

Recently, the Criminal Investigation Bureau of Hengyuan City unearthed the bones of a corpse that had been buried for more than ten years. The identity of the corpse could not be directly identified. However, the corpse was related to the second master of the Zhai family. This was because the possessions of Zhai Yunsheng’s uncle were found near the bones.

This led everyone to suspect that the deceased was related to the second master of the Zhai family. They even suspected that the death was related to Zhai Yunsheng’s father back then.

Now, the problem was to determine the identity of the bones and the cause of death.

As quite some time had passed since the person had died, the process of examining the bones had become incredibly difficult.

And thus, they needed individuals with more expertise in this area to identify the bones. After that, they could find out more information.

And thus, the skeleton was sent to the Huiling Medical Research Institution. The body was to be analyzed and evaluated by the professionals there.

Initially, Master Zhai planned to send someone to the institution to listen to the results and report back to him. He didn’t plan to go.

However, Zhai Yunsheng was determined to go. As Master Zhai couldn’t persuade his grandson, he decided to go along as well.

As they were about to leave, Jian Yiling from next door also left the house.

When Zhai Yunsheng saw Jian Yiling, he immediately told the chauffeur to stop the car.

“Take me along,” Jian Yiling said to Zhai Yunsheng.

Yu Xi, who was also in the car, looked at Jian Yiling before he said: “Yiling, the place we are going to today is different from the usual places we go to. And thus, we may not be able to give you a ride.”

“It’s on the way,” Jian Yiling said. She spoke with certainty. It was as though she knew where Yu Xi was going all along.

Yu Xi froze for a moment. Zhai Yunsheng took this opportunity to ask Jian Yiling: “Are you going to the institution too?”

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng opened the door for Jian Yiling.

After Jian Yiling got into the car, Yu Xi remembered in hindsight that Jian Yiling knew the researchers from the Huiling Medical Research Institution.

Previously, Luo Xiuen had also helped Jian Yiling.

When he remembered this, Yu Xi put his doubts to rest.

Master Zhai was also in the same vehicle. When he saw Jian Yiling get onto the car, his eyes looked as though they were thinking about something.

On the way, Yu Xi asked Jian Yiling: “God Ling, are you going to the institution today to play with your friends?”

“More or less,” Jian Yiling replied.

“Then why don’t you guess what we’re going to do?” Yu Xi asked. Then, he didn’t give time for Jian Yiling to answer before he revealed the answer himself: “We’re going to see an autopsy! An autopsy! The super scary kind!”

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling responded. Her face was expressionless.

“Don’t be afraid Yiling. I’m just scaring you. We’re actually going to get some bones examined today. It’s nothing scary.”

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied again. The expression on her face was still the same.

Yu Xi suddenly thought of something: “By the way God Ling, what was the gift that the young master of the Qin family gave you?”

Yu Xi was purely curious.

After all, it was a gift from the young master of the Qin family. It shouldn’t be an ordinary gift!

Upon hearing this, Zhai Yunsheng suddenly said: “It seems like you’re quite close to the young master of the Qin family. I’m sure the gift is worth a lot.”

“I don’t know,” Jian Yiling replied.

“Huh? You don’t know? How can you not know, God Ling?” Yu Xi asked.
