357 That Man Is Dead
âGirl, I see that your wound is so deep that it will definitely leave a scar in the future. Do you want my folk prescription?â
Hearing the old ladyâs words, Su Meng understood a little. The old lady wanted to use this as an opportunity to sell her things. Looking at the hotelâs business, there were only a few guests, so they couldnât make much money, so it was understandable that they used other ways to make money.
Moreover, when it came to business, both were willing. If they didnât want it, they could just reject it directly.
Su Meng shook her head. âThank you for your kindness, but I donât need it. Itâs just a scar, it wonât affect me. Besides, if he canât even accept a scar on your body, it means that your other half is not a good man. Thereâs no need to please others.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

âYoung people nowadays are really trendy. Iâm old and donât understand your thoughts.â
The old lady seemed to have read her mind and continued with a smile, âGirl, youâre afraid that Iâll take your money, right? Donât worry, you did me a big favor just now, so I wonât cheat you. Iâm sincerely recommending it to you. Itâs free. This folk prescription is very precious, and I might not sell it no matter how much other people offer.â
Su Meng wanted to reject her but the old man decided for her. âThatâs all. Iâll give it to you when youâre leaving.â
After that, the old lady took the medicine and started to apply it on Su Meng. She didnât expect the old lady to be so skilled. She applied the medicine to Su Meng very gently. Other than the initial pain, Su Meng didnât feel anything else.
Su Meng applied the medicine and bandaged the wound. After that, she put on her clothes and thanked the old lady again.
âGirl, whatâs your relationship with that young man outside? And the other two young men, I saw you guys go to the back of the mountain. Thereâs nothing there except trees and weeds, not even a grave. What did you guys do there?â
Then, afraid that Su Meng would misunderstand, she explained, âGirl, this old woman is just curious, so Iâm just asking. If you canât tell me, then just pretend I didnât ask. Thereâs just one thing I need to remind you of. The young man called Wen Le came here some time ago. He was panicking at that time and there was another man with him. Not long after he left, I saw an article. Do you know what it was?â
Su Meng looked at the old lady without saying anything. She shook her head to show that she did not know.
The old lady sighed and continued in a low voice, âThe man who was with him died a few days after he left our hotel. Although the report didnât say how he died, and the photos were all blurred out, I could vaguely see that the man died in an extremely miserable way. The police said that it was man-made and that the method was very clever. They havenât found the murderer yet.â
âThat man is dead?â Su Meng frowned.
âYes, heâs dead, and he died a terrible death. Little girl, I only told you this because I saw that you were a good person and risked getting beaten up to help me. Iâm already so old, thereâs no need for me to lie to you about this. Besides, lying to you wonât do me any good.â
âIn fact, Iâve been observing you since you came here. I can see that youâre very familiar with the young man outside, but youâre not familiar with the one called Wen Le. Thereâs one more thing, I donât know if youâve noticed, but the way that Wen Le looks at you is very strange, but I canât tell whatâs strange about it. â
âYou should know what Iâm thinking. If you know the specific details, Iâll let it go if Iâm wrong. But if you donât know, then just take it as a reminder.â
The old lady said it very seriously and didnât seem to be making it up.
Su Meng looked at her and did not say anything. Before they came, Wen Le had mentioned his friend who went to the tomb with him, but Wen Le said that the friend had gone abroad.
Did he not know about his companionâs death, or was he deliberately not telling her the truth? From what the old lady said, the manâs death was related to Wen Le. If Wen Le was really the one who caused his death, why did he take the initiative to mention that friend of his to her?
If he brought it up, it would only ruin things. If he didnât, Su Meng wouldnât know from the beginning and it wouldnât affect him at all.
Whether it was true or not, she didnât know the reason, so she could say it casually.
âGrandma, do you still have that report? If there is, can you let me see it?â Although that personâs death had nothing to do with her, she still had one other thing to confirm.
