Every bit of information, handwriting, and experience that Father Du had had made Du Ruqing feel incomparably grateful and guilty.

Tears fell like a broken string. His originally calm state of mind became extremely chaotic at this moment.

”Dad!” There were many words that he wanted to say to Father Du, but when he opened his mouth, there was nothing he could say. He could only mutter one word.

Her words choked in her throat as she tightly frowned. She helplessly laid her head on the table and buried her head in her arms.

He didn't know how long he cried until his tears dried up. Other than the sounds of his gulping, there was no other sound.

The lawyer sitting across from him seemed to be in his soul and didn't pay much attention to him. He also didn't pay much attention to him, as if he was doing a task together.

When Dean raised his head, her swollen eyes were unaccustomed to the glare of the sun. She reached out her hand to block the sun.

”Better?” When Du Yun's green eyes got used to it, he put down his hand and saw the lawyer holding out a glass of water in front of her, asking with a gentle tone.

”Thank you!” Du Liqing didn't take the water the lawyer passed to her. Instead, she stood up and bowed 90 degrees to show her gratitude.

The lawyer looked at him and nodded. The corner of his mouth curled up into a gentle smile, as if he was saying words that had nothing to do with him.

Du Liqing took all the things that her father Du had left for her from the table and tightly held onto them, afraid that the things would disappear in front of her eyes.

Inside the Burial Ground, Qu Yan Shi and Yuan Wei had been anxious to call the police. Just as they took a step forward, they saw Du Liqing's figure.

”Du Liqing, where did you go? Do you know that we are worried about you? ” Qu Yan Yan rushed forward, grabbed Du Liqing's ear and bellowed with eyes filled with worry.

”Sorry to make you worry.” Feeling the pain, Du Liqing didn't struggle at all and only tightly held the thing in his hand. Seeing the look of guilt on Qu Yan Yan's face, he apologized.

After prying open Qu Yan's hand, she walked over to the staff member who had just called for her, and leisurely said: ”Everything is as simple as it sounds. My father doesn't like to put on airs.”

There was no sign of panic on his face, only calmness. There weren't even any tears on his face. He only held on tighter to the object in his hands.

”Okay, I'll make the arrangements.” The staff member agreed. He looked at Du Ruqing's expression as she gazed into the distance. Without asking any questions, he turned around and began to prepare the things that needed to be prepared.

Qu Yan Shi and Yuan Wei, who were standing not too far away, looked at each other. They knew that Du Yun Qing's mood wasn't right, but they didn't know how to console him.

Perhaps it was normal for her not to cry.

The two of them used this excuse to cover their unease as they thought back to the peaceful sleeping appearance of Father Du. In the end, Qu Yan Yan Yao's eyes reddened and Yuan Wei's heart was filled with grief.
