I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 321: How is this thing round?

Chapter 321: Chapter 321: How is this thing round?

The first thing Suizi did when she returned to the city was reporting Yang Liu’s hiding place to the authorities.

This time, Liao Yong and his team went as plainclothes officers and successfully apprehended Yang Liu.

Ironically, as soon as Yang Liu was handcuffed, drizzle began to scatter from the sky.

Although the rainfall was a drop in the ocean for the parched land, it was far from enough.

However, for the elders and villagers of the Wang family compound, it was considered an act of divine will, further proving that Suizi’s family had some divine power.

Now that both members of the Yang family were arrested, the authorities interrogated them overnight. Initially, they just wanted to question their conspiracy to break and enter, but the timid Yang Liu spilled the beans on a case from ten years ago before the interrogation.

Suizi was laying down in bed facing up, her head suspended in the air — or more accurately, supported by Yu Jingting.

Yu Jingting was very careful, with a washbasin filled with warm water between his legs.

"I said I could wash my own hair, why go through all the hassle?" Suizi recalled that the last time she styled her hair was in her previous life at the hair salon.

But those hairdressers, Tony, were far more reliable than her husband.

"I’m practicing in advance so that I don’t fumble when your month comes," he said as he carefully wetted her hair.

Suizi’s belly was larger than most pregnant women’s. If she bent over too much, she would lose balance; if she bent over too little, her clothes would get wet.

At this time, there was no shower at home, making bathing and washing hair a hassle for Suizi.

Yu Jingting was also reluctant to let her go to the public bathhouse. Let alone the horde of elderly women ogling his wife, the floor would be slippery, and a fall could mean trouble.

So, he carefully thought and decided to wash her hair at home.

"Ouch!" Suizi’s eyes got water in them.

"Ouch!" Suizi’s ears got water in them.

Yu Jingting hurried to dry her, clumsily soaking the floor in the process.

Wang Cuihua, who entered the scene with Liao Yong, was dumbfounded seeing this and felt faint-headed.

"What a mess! Why can’t you wash your hair on your own bed?"

Her sheets were soaked, and so was her floor!

"I’ll change your sheets later, we just changed ours," Yu Jingting replied confidently.

Suizi blushed in embarrassment, her conscience stirring.

"I’m sorry, mom, I’ll change the sheets for you," she said, blaming everything on Jingting.

Suizi always felt that the foam wasn’t rinsed out from her hair, but Jingting had already wrapped her hair in a towel, claiming that his skills are to the level of opening a barbershop.

"You must have found us amusing," Suizi sat aghast Liao Yong.

I ran into your aunt on the street and came over. There’s something I need to discuss with you," Liao Yong said.

"Are you bringing a banner of thanks?" Wang Cuihua asked as she removed the bedsheet.

"No, it’s about Yang Liu. After he was arrested, he confessed to some things about Jingting’s father, Yu Shuisheng."

"Is he trying to bribe my husband’s clothes? We will never make a deal with him," Wang Cuihua replied firmly.

"No, he confessed to the murder of Yu Shuisheng."

The bedsheet slipped from Wang Cuihua’s hand and dropped onto the floor.

The motion of Suizi drying her hair also stopped.

"What did he say... didn’t my husband drown?"

"Your husband indeed fell into the water, but he was not dead at that time."

After falling into the water, Yu Shuisheng was washed downstream. He was unconscious but not dead.

Yang Liu and his brother found him and seized the opportunity to finish him off. They killed Yu Shuisheng by smashing his head with a rock before pushing him down a mountain.

"Are you storytelling here? Why would Yang Liu hurt my husband when they had no feud to begin with? Besides, if my husband was pushed down the mountain, who was buried in our ancestral tomb?"

Wang Cuihua thought Liao Yong was telling a tall tale, which seemed too far-fetched.

Liao Yong took out a plastic bag from his pocket, which contained a jade ring inlaid with gemstones.

"This was dug up from Yang Liu’s courtyard based on his confession. It was said that Yu Shuisheng carried this with him that day."

"What’s this, I have never seen it before?" Wang Cuihua asked, completely baffled.

"Perhaps my father dug it up from some cemetery? Planning to gift it to my mom?" Yu Jingting recalled that his dad might have had some strange fascination like this.

Suizi stepped on his foot to silence him, knowing the severity of the situation.

"Perhaps my father-in-law picked it up while passing by a cemetery, thinking about handing it over to the authorities and firmly not keeping it for personal gain. But I presume this could also be our ancient family heirloom of the Yu family, there’s no evidence that shows my father-in-law had dug up graves."

Liao Yong blinked while Suizi nodded seriously.

Whether it was dug up by Yu Shuisheng, picked up by him or an ancient family heirloom of Yu family, it didn’t matter.

What mattered was that Yu Shuisheng had it in his pocket, which triggered Yang Liu’s greed.

Wang Cuihua was stunned. Was it really for such a thing that her husband lost his life?

"Once the case is closed, we will return this ring back to its rightful owner. Auntie, please accept my condolences."

Emotions washed over Wang Cuihua as she thought about how her husband was brutally murdered just to give her a gift. Overwhelmed by grief, she broke down into tears.

In her agitation, she fainted.

Yu Jingting cradled her onto the bed, and it took a while for Wang Cuihua to regain consciousness.

"Oh Tiegen, your father died such a tragic death..."

Originally, they thought that her husband had drowned, already a tragic fate. But they were taken aback to find out he had been pushed down a mountain. For many years, his body might have been gnawed away by wild animals.

Remembering this, Wang Cuihua lost control of her emotions and cried bitterly. She wished she could rush to the detention center to tear Yang Liu and his father apart.

Yu Jingting hadn’t anticipated this development. He had hoped to look for his father if he was still alive after Suizi gave birth.

This now felt as if his last ray of hope was shattered. Watching his mother in despair, Yu Jingting felt as if a knife was twisting in his heart, casting a shadow of grief over the whole family.

Seeing the uncontrollable situation in front of her, Suizi knew if she did not speak up, her mother-in-law might fall ill from grief.

Once Liao Yong left, Suizi closed the door and took half a glass of plain water to steady herself. Then, she said to the tearful Wang Cuihua:

"Mom, my dad is not dead."

"Yes, that old bastard Chen Kaide, he’s still alive," Wang Cuihua sobbed.

"I meant, my father-in-law is not dead."

"You don’t need to comfort me, I have accepted it..."

Suizi thought, if she had really accepted it, she wouldn’t be crying her voice hoarse.

"I saw him when I was in school, just... a few years ago."

"You don’t need to comfort — what?!" Wang Cuihua stopped crying, and Jin Ting also looked at Suizi.

Suizi dared not meet Yu Jingting’s gaze, fearing that he would see through her lie. She had no choice but to continue lying.

"I saw him once when I was in vocational school. He is alive."

"Where did you see him, is it true?"

"Why didn’t you tell us earlier?"

"You drew a portrait of him during the New Year, and it didn’t even look like him."

Wang Cuihua initially held some hope, but while asking these questions, her hope turned to despair and she buried her face in her hands and cried bitterly.

"I know you’re good-hearted, Suizi, trying to comfort me, but it’s no use. The ghost is dead, he didn’t even have a proper burial..."

Suizi anxiously looked at Yu Jingting for help. How was she going to cover this up?
