Chapter 600: 603: Go, Pretty Girl Warrior!

“I’ve already forgiven you, so you don’t have to sweet-talk me,” Ye Xingbei patted her with a laugh, “You just said that after the incident with your mother, your grandfather took the whole family abroad. Didn’t you leave with them?”

“I did leave with them at first, but then, after my father and grandfather passed away in succession, I returned to the country,” said Yue Yaer. “Back then, my grandfather was considering his other children. My father was filial and heeded my grandfather’s words. He cared for his younger siblings and didn’t want them being involved in fatal troubles, so they didn’t take revenge for my mother and hastily went abroad.”

“However, both my grandfather and my father could never let go of this matter in their hearts. They both felt guilty towards my mother and held their resentment close, their health deteriorated within a few years. After my grandfather and father passed away, I came back to the country.”

“Beibei, you wouldn’t understand how tragic my mother’s death was. When I saw my mother’s body, her lower body was all bloody, and the child in her belly no longer had a heartbeat. I had just felt my sibling kick in her stomach the day before, greeting me.”

“My mother was a truly kind person, as gentle as water. I threw myself onto her body, crying, begging her to open her eyes and look at me one more time. But her body had already stiffened, stiff and cold, with her eyes wide open, her hands on her belly…”

Yue Yaer covered her mouth, sobbing uncontrollably, “Even though I left the country with my father and grandfather, after all these years, every time I remember my mother’s protective gesture of her belly when she died, I can’t help but imagine how desperate my mother must have been. I dreamt almost every night of being able to reach my mother in time at her most desperate moment, stabbing Jii Chunjue again and again, but when the dream ends, nothing is left but my tear-stained face…”

She let go of Ye Xingbei, her tear-filled eyes fixed on him, “Beibei, I don’t know if you understand how I feel, but I always think that if I can’t avenge my mother, sooner or later, I’ll end up like my grandfather and father, dying in resentment. If everyone in our family is dead while the murderer of my mother lives on carefree, leading a happy life, then I wouldn’t be at peace even in death, just like my grandfather and father.”

“I understand,” Ye Xingbei nodded, “My parents have been gone for a long time, but my brother and I have never given up the idea of bringing the culprit to justice. Though the deceased have passed, we, the living, owe them justice, so that they may rest in peace… Also, those who do evil must be punished. Only then will there be fewer evil people in this world. If they can still enjoy life after committing atrocities, it would be extremely unfair.”

Yue Yaer furrowed her brow and asked, “Beibei, were your parents also murdered?”

“Yes,” Ye Xingbei nodded, “My parents died in a car accident, but my brother and I believe that the accident was deliberate. However, we currently have no evidence to bring the murderer to justice.”

She paused before continuing, “But, Gu Junzhu just told me that he has some leads. I don’t know what kind of leads they are.”

Seeing the hope and anticipation in her eyes, Yue Yaer stood up, “Then I’ll call Fifth Master, you talk, and I’ll go wash my face.”

Ye Xingbei nodded, smiling and said, “Go on, cheer up, don’t bear any burdens. I love playing as the champion of justice, we’ll help you take your revenge.”
