Chapter 172 - Accident (2/2)

“Auntie He, what did you say?”

The person on the other end of the call repeated what they said. “Xiao Zhi, come over quickly if you can. Something’s happened.”

Immediately after ending the call, Nan Zhi applied for a half-day leave from Zhang Yijun, with a pale face from what she’s heard.

She drove to Wind Town in a hurry.

Wind Town was about two hours away from the city. Nan Zhi called Mu Sihan on her way to tell him that she could not eat dinner with him anymore. However, the call was rejected after two rings.

When she finally reached the town, she drove for another ten minutes to a grape plantation.

A woman in her fifties was standing by the road and waved her down. As the car stopped, she hurriedly approached Nan Zhi as she stepped out of the car. “Xiao Zhi.”

Nan Zhi ran in front of Auntie He and grabbed her calloused hands tightly. “Auntie He, what happened to my grandparents’ grave?”

Auntie He had tears in her eyes. “I’ll take you there right away.”

Nan Zhi’s maternal grandmother grew up on this mountain, they had a very strong and loving relations.h.i.+p. After her grandmother pa.s.sed away, her grandfather buried her in this mountain. He then left a spot for himself next to her grandmother on the day she was buried. He asked her mother to bury him with her grandmother after he pa.s.sed away. They wanted to continue to be together in the afterlife.

Auntie He used to be a helper at her grandfather’s house. Since their pa.s.sing, she continued to come to look after her grandparents’ grave after he had departed this world.

Nothing had happened in so many years.

Nan Zhi rushed to where the graves were. The two tombstones were splattered in a horrendous, glaring red.

Someone had splashed red paint on the tombstones. It was frightening to see the bright red marks dripping down the tombstones like a heinous taint.

Nan Zhi’s heart seemed to be clenched tightly by an invisible black hand when she saw the scene. A severe pang of agony wrenched at her chest and she felt sick to the stomach.

She bit on the side of her cheeks tightly as her eyes were covered in a layer of moisture from the anger and sadness.

Who would do such a terrible thing?

Who would treat her grandparents like this? They would not even let them be at peace after pa.s.sing on.
