The chauffeur stepped aside respectfully, while the two bodyguards stood tall and still next to him.
Lu Nanze looked at the cemetery grounds with an abstruse expression. He slowly lowered his gaze.
Then he strode through the entrance.

Qiao Lian had lost track of the time that she had been sitting there next to the graves. She finally stood up and said as she looked at her parents’ tombstones, “Dad, Mom, I’m home for good this time. I won’t be returning to Beijing. I’ll be here in Suzhou investigating the truth of what happened eight years ago. I’m leaving now for today, I’ll look for a place to stay. I’ll be back in a few days to see you again.”
She stood up after saying this, picked up her suitcase and headed towards the other entrance of the cemetery.
Just as she disappeared around the corner, Lu Nanze appeared and walked to the graves.
He stood before Dad Qiao and Mom Qiao’s tombstones, looking steadily at them with his dark and deep eyes.
However, as he slowly approached them, he froze.
There was a familiar scent in the air.
He focused his energy to breathe in the scent, but a gust of wind blew past.
At once, the familiar scent vanished.
The man smiled bitterly.
The normally arrogant man sounded a little helpless now as he spoke, “Uncle and Auntie, I actually thought I had caught a whiff of Lian Lian. I must be going mad.”
“Uncle and Auntie, how have you been lately?”

After leaving the cemetery, Qiao Lian hailed a cab.
It was late, so she found a hotel to stay the night.
Then she started to look through room rental ads on the internet.
This time she was returning to Suzhou, she was planning to stay for the long haul.
She chewed her instant noodles as she went through the ads.
As she ate, all of a sudden, that feeling of nausea came back.
