Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Chapter 977: A Funeral

It seemed like General Chen intended to use his connections to include Chen Feitang in the new team.

That made Lu Xingzhi extremely unhappy! It looked like someone who had been eliminated could still

join the special forces. He would see if Chen Feitang still had the dignity to stay in the team.

Lu Xingzhi received a phone call after their dinner he had been called back to the police station. Jiang

Yao and the two other men returned to the hotel.

Lu Xingzhi did not manage to go back to the hotel to look for Jiang Yao, and Yuan City's newspaper

sold like hot cakes the following day.

Their lawyer, Mr Jiang, bought them many newspapers when they met for breakfast. Most news

reported the butterfly effect caused by the Chai family's incident.

A certain department's director was investigated and confirmed to have taken bribes and was

subsequently suspended. Then, a certain bureau's director was found to have received many cash

bribes from the company for an extended period. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Half of the active officials in Yuan City were suspended for investigation in one night, and a third of

retirees were summoned to help with the interrogation and inquiry.

Lu Xingzhi's men had brought Taozi with them the previous night. They had managed to clear Zhou

Xiaocheng's case in only one night from the origin of the case to what Taozi did to everyone's

involvement. They concluded that the hospital had let Zhou Xiaocheng die in the operating

room everything about that had been published in the newspaper. They had arrested everyone

involved in the case no one could escape.

When Jiang Yao saw the news, she was so happy that she ate an extra herbal egg for breakfast. That

was the first time she had an appetite since she arrived at Yuan City.

"What a satisfying report!" Chen Xuyao slammed his fists on the table excitedly. "Third Brother, you've

become Yuan City's hero!"

"Here, read this." Jiang Yao handed her newspaper to Chen Xuyao. "It's both hateful and delightful."

The news reported that Chai Xianglong's victim and her family went to the police station overnight to

report the incident. It was not the first time Chai Xianglong and his friends had done something like

that they were already used to it. They had even assaulted Zhou Xiaocheng in a room they had always

used for that purpose. They had assaulted five or six girls in that room they were all underage and

beautiful girls.

Two of those girls had been sent abroad by their families. One of the girls had committed suicide by

slicing her wrists the next day they had not been able to save her. Some of the girls had gotten married

hastily while some were still in depression they had to live in pain.

It had been a long time since the incident happened Jiang Yao was not sure if the girl who died

because they could not save her in time really did die that way, or if it was a tragedy like Zhou

Xiaocheng's case.

Jiang Yao and Chu Sheng attended Zhou Xiaocheng's funeral three days later.

It was a very simple funeral only a few relatives from the Zhou family and the Chen family were in

attendance.

Finally, the family decided to bury Zhou Xiaocheng in a grave about three kilometers away from the

family's ancestral grave. Still, there was hardly any green in the mountains, and the exposed land was

covered in frost.

A coffin, a tomb, buried, and covered a girl's life had finally been buried; she would sleep there forever

and alone.

Who knew if there was a next life?

Who knew if the girl who slept there was willing to live again in a world that terrified her?

"Jiang Yao, thank you for your help and thank your husband. The Chai family could not collapse so

quickly without his help. I believe that Xiaocheng can now rest in peace when she finds out in the

underworld." Zhou Xiaoxia hugged Jiang Yao.
