Chapter 187: Chapter 187: The Soul Returns to the Past Life

Mrs. Han saw the two visitors out and was just about to scold her sons when the telephone suddenly rang.

Mrs. Han stepped forward to pick up the receiver, "Hello."

"Sister-in-law, it’s Cheng Yan."

"Cheng’er! Haven’t you come back yet?" Mrs. Han immediately grasped the situation.

"Hey! Xiao Yu asked me to go buy some goods! As a result, I was busy with that the whole day and couldn’t make it back in time!"

"I specifically chose this time to call, sister-in-law, can you ask Ming Yue to run an errand for me? Tell Xiao Yu I’ll be home tomorrow."

"Xiao Yu is at my house! I’ll tell her later! Old Han said it’s not safe for two women to stay alone, so he didn’t let her leave last night. She can still stay over tonight!"

"Ah? That’s kind of you, sister-in-law! I’ll be back tomorrow night." Mrs. Zhen was somewhat surprised, but she didn’t think too much about it.

After all, it’s the same no matter who you trouble! Relations are there to owe; debts must be repaid for interactions to continue!

"Alright! Be careful when you’re out, we can talk about anything else when you get back." Mrs. Han, not wanting Mrs. Zhen to worry, decided to wait until Mrs. Zhen was back to tell her about the past two days’ events.

"Alright, alright! Then I will hang up now, sister-in-law!"

"Uh-huh, be sure to take care!"

By the time the call ended, Mr. Han had already come out of Han Mingyue’s room.

He sat on the sofa, and his two sons stood in front of him with their heads bowed.

The three of them, father and sons, remained silent.

Jiaoyang, upon hearing his mother’s footsteps, instantly covertly turned his head and sought help with his eyes.

Mrs. Han ignored him, and directly said to Mr. Han, "Dinner is not ready yet, let them face the wall and reflect first!"

Mr. Han nodded and shouted at his two sons, "Go stand in the corner!"

Han Mingyue and Jiaoyang dejectedly found a spot where they could stand and faced the wall.

Mr. Han got up and went into the kitchen with Mrs. Han, and soon the sound of pots and pans clashing could be heard.

——

Han Mingyue’s room.

The injury on Zhen Yu’s forehead was partly hidden under her hair. Directly applying medical tape would stick to the hair, so Mr. Han wrapped a bandage around Zhen Yu’s head.

At the moment, she was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, calm, and if not for her furrowed brows, she would look as if she were sleeping.

But Zhen Yu was not asleep; her thoughts were extremely muddled, and her emotions were on the brink of collapse!

——

Before she was knocked unconscious, it felt like only a second before she became aware again.

But the environment she found herself in had become very strange.

It was as if she was locked in a small dark room! The whole room was pitch black without a speck of light.

She heard footsteps outside, and Zhen Yu quickly groped her way to a wall in the room and listened attentively.

Then she realized that it felt like she was riding a bus, with a slight tremor coming from beneath her feet.

"Could it be that this isn’t a room, but a box? Is she being carried by someone?"

But that wasn’t right! The space was quite large! Zhen Yu could move freely inside.

And she was in a standing position! If someone were being carried, a lying position would be more convenient!

Zhen Yu couldn’t understand what was happening and didn’t have time to think it over, because the sound of a door opening and closing came from outside.

——

Then, voices could be heard.

"Ma’am, this is the deceased’s ashes." The young woman’s voice paused here, "And her cellphone that was left at the scene. This, too, counts as her possession."

"After the incident, we unlocked her phone immediately. But the only number in her contacts was your son’s, and it couldn’t be reached."

"Only his number?" The elderly woman’s voice choked up, "My son he..."

"Madam, please accept my condolences."

"Um, um!" The elderly woman’s voice seemed to contain endless sorrow.

"Other people she frequently contacted through her phone, after receiving our call, all stated that they were merely ordinary colleagues. We finally reached out to her stepmother, but the other party," the young woman suddenly couldn’t continue.

After a while, she continued, "As soon as they heard it was suicide, they didn’t wait for us to mention the accident, and just hung up after saying one sentence!"

"What did she say?"

"Madam." The young woman seemed uncomfortable, suggesting, "Let’s not talk about it!"

"No! Tell me!"

"She said, ’Good riddance!’"

Slap!

The elderly woman gasped heavily for a while, before slowly calming down.

"Because of her stepmother’s attitude, we... I’m sorry! Please don’t cry, Madam, the dead cannot be brought back to life."

"I know, I know!" Although the elderly woman said this, she still couldn’t help but sob.

Cell phone, the only contact.

Son, stepmother.

Suicide, car accident.

After hearing this conversation, Zhen Yu guessed who the elderly voice belonged to.

Her ears filled with the sound of crying, Zhen Yu felt more and more saddened, quietly sitting down on the ground, tears falling like rain.

——

After a long time, the elderly woman finally stopped crying with the young woman’s comfort. Zhen Yu’s emotions also gradually stabilized.

"What was the password for her phone?"

"815815," Zhen Yu spoke softly in the pitch-dark environment, but the people outside couldn’t hear her voice at all.

"There’s no password now; the original password was 815815," the young woman replied, "There’s something I need to tell you."

"815 huh... what is it? Go ahead."

The young woman spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, "Here’s the situation! Although it was a suicide, the incident itself was a traffic accident!"

"Even though the driver was driving normally and isn’t at fault, constituting no criminal charges for a traffic accident, he still has to bear the civil liability for compensation."

"Compensation? To whom? Her parents and siblings are all gone! To that stepmother who cursed her day and night?"

The woman was somewhat agitated.

Zhen Yu silently listened, a bitter smile hanging at the corner of her mouth in the darkness.

"Normally, yes, but the other party isn’t even answering our calls now."

"Then don’t compensate! Just let it be!"

"...Please discuss this matter with the driver," the young woman said in an awkward yet polite tone.

——

Door opening sound, door closing sound.

Zhen Yu heard a man call out in a low voice, "Madam."

"My child! I apologize on her behalf! She had a hard life!"

Zhen Yu understood that the visitor must be the driver she had implicated, so she also silently said in her heart, "I’m sorry!"

The man was silent for a while, then exhaled deeply, "Let’s talk about the compensation."

"No need for compensation! She has no relatives left! I’ll keep the accident to myself! Once we leave this door, we don’t know each other!"

"Madam! You mean," the man was extremely surprised.

"Child! Don’t say this has nothing to do with you! Even if you really were responsible, I wouldn’t let her malicious stepmother profit off the deceased!"
