It was he who killed his mother
Seemingly hearing the words in her heart, Xue Yuwei pushed the things to the table in front of her. "Here, open it. The answer you want is inside."
The brown paper bag was wrapped in white strings. The South Bridge went around the strings and the last thing he saw was a stack of photos lying inside the bag.
The color was simple, the picture was blurry and the South Bridge felt that this was some sort of surveillance footage. As they continued to watch, they discovered that most of the images were of the same man, and this man was Yu Cen Ran's father, Yu Chenghui!
The more he read, the more uneasy he felt. He raised his eyes and asked coldly, "Why are you showing me these photos?"
"Can't you see? This is the City People's Hospital where your mother stayed when she was still alive, and these photos were all taken from the surveillance videos."
Leaning her head over, Xue Yuwei's fingers searched through the photos. Suddenly, her fingers stopped, and she picked up one of them for South Bridge to see. It just happened to be in the ward, and the picture just happened to be fixed on the man and woman.
The man stood with his arms outstretched, presumably talking, while the woman lay on the bed with her head on the pillow and her mouth still on the instrument, breathing hard.
Although it was blurry, one could still make out two people inside. They were Yu ChengHui and South Bridge's mother, Zhang Fenglan.
Xue Yuwei rested her chin on her hand as her gaze locked onto the South Bridge. She spoke slowly, "Your mother's death was actually caused by Uncle Yu. This surveillance camera is the recording from the ward on the day of the accident. After the accident, Uncle took it away and deleted the hospital's recording …"
Xue Yuwei's words were like a bomb that had been dropped on the lake, causing layers of splashes.
South Bridge's chest heaved up and down violently. She suppressed her uneasy mood. "Xue Yuwei, what right do I have to believe your words?"
Xue Yuwei shrugged her shoulders and spread her arms nonchalantly. "Uncle Yu has always disapproved of you and Cen Ran being together. In order to separate the two of you, Uncle was kind enough to persuade your mother. It's just that her mental endurance is poor, so an accident happened."
After pausing for a moment, Xue Yuwei thought of something. "Right, your gambling father told me this. If you don't believe him, you can ask him yourself."
Gambling ghost father?
Southern Heaven and Earth
If he hadn't suddenly heard someone mention it and heard the news about the South Heaven, he probably would have forgotten this person and wouldn't even remember that he had a family member in the world.
If the South Heaven and the South Heaven were considered to be the same, then …
Nanqiao suddenly frowned. When she heard the words' Southern Qiankun 'from Xue Yuwei, she felt uncomfortable, but when she thought about it again, it had been a long time since the Southern Qiankun had returned home, and she indeed did not know where he went.
He rubbed the cup with his palm, and his lips formed a straight line. After a while, he said, "You have seen him before. You should know where he is."
"Of course."
Xue Yuwei gave her an address and did not waste any more time. South Bridge grabbed her bag and walked out. The noon weather was fine, the temperature was higher than the night, but South Bridge felt cold all over, cold to the point that there was still some lingering fear in its heart.
Ever since she was young, South Bridge had always relied on her mother, Zhang Fenglan. Other than cursing her mother and asking for money, South Heaven had never taken responsibility for her family. Thus, in South Bridge's mind, her mother had always lived a full life.
If what Xue Yuwei said was true, and it was really Yu Chenghui who had killed his mother, then at that time, how would the South Bridge be able to face his former lover?
As she thought of this, South Bridge rubbed her forehead. She was already jumping up and down near her temples. She leaned against the window of the taxi, feeling more and more uneasy. South Bridge could even hear her heart beating faster than before.
"Are you all right, ma'am?" The man in the front row was watching in the rearview mirror, afraid that something might happen to the passengers, and ready to run in the direction of the hospital.
Nanqiao's face was pale, and he did not realize it. He forced a smile and shook his head. "It's fine, thank you."
Soon, the taxi arrived at the designated location. The taxi driver tore off the automatically typed price list and turned around to see that South Bridge's face was wrapped in gauze. No matter what, it wouldn't receive zero, only one third of the price.
He hadn't expected that he would benefit from this disaster.
Nanqiao no longer evaded. He accepted the cash back and gratefully said, "Thank you, Master."
The place to get off was a hidden underground gambling den in A City. It was hidden at the end of a small alley and was hard to find. The area was filled with factories. Machines operated day and night, making the place very noisy and chaotic.
The buildings were close together, one floor at a time, and it was difficult for sunlight to penetrate, so the light was dim. The south bridge was groping its way along the wall, occasionally stepping on obstacles like garbage to stabilize itself.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Suddenly, there was a scream, short, but it was clearly a woman. South Bridge's eyes quickly adapted to the dusky environment, and when she raised her eyes to look, her brows were tightly knitted.
In front of them, there was a pair of entangled men and women. Their cries came from the woman, and they allowed the man to walk freely on their skin.
South Bridge lowered his head, wanting to pretend that he couldn't see it. When he passed by that man and woman, the man suddenly stopped, turned towards South Bridge, and whistled. Astonishingly, he said: "Sister, this is your first time here ah, do you want to play together?"
How could Nanqiao possibly care about these people? He wanted to lift his leg and leave, but the woman was annoyed and took a step forward to block his path. "You're not giving me face, right? What are you pretending to be noble for, you bitch!"
As he said that, he stretched out his hand as if he was grabbing onto someone's hair, and was dodged by the South Bridge. The woman did not give up and wanted to step forward to pull him.
"Brother Tian!"
The man who was called Brother Tian narrowed his eyes and carefully sized up the place. He felt that Nanqiao was a little familiar. "Have we met before?"
He ignored it and turned around to leave. However, his arm was suddenly grabbed, and just as he was about to frown and flare up, South Bridge heard the man say, "South Universe, you're Brother Nan's daughter, right?"
"You know the Southern Universe?"
"Of course, who here doesn't know him?"
The underground gambling house wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. It wasn't easy to find people in a place with a mix of fish, dragons, and miasma. Since this man knew the South Heaven, he might as well just bring him to find someone.
The man was rather straightforward and agreed immediately.
As she walked and listened, South Heaven loved to gamble, and every now and then she would owe a pile of gambling debts. As for this man, he must have come to her house to collect debts when he was young.
The efficiency of having an acquaintance lead the way was very different. Very quickly, the two of them arrived at the inside of the gambling house. There were many people, and each layer was filled with many people.
Pushing aside the surging crowd, what appeared in front of South Bridge was a large table. Buying big and buying small, buying big and buying small, this was a very typical way of betting money.
"What do you think, Brother Nan? Do you want to take the risk and play big one?" The manor lord pressed her hands on the dice cup and deliberately lowered her voice, tempting her.
The entire night, South Heaven had been extremely lucky. Not only did he not win any money, he had also lost most of the capital that he had brought. The huge sum of money that Xue Yuwei had given him was spent in just a few days.
The people around him started to heckle. For a moment, the crowd was boiling like ants that had been blown out of their wits.
Nan Qiankun's eyes turned red as he continued, "Buy a small one!"
"Are you sure?"
Nan Qiankun nodded. The people from that side slammed the table again. This encouraged him. Just as he was about to put down the chips in his hand, his arm was pushed away and the chips in his hand was directly taken away by his opponent.
Nan Qiankun was stunned for a moment and everyone's gaze fell on Nan Qiao. Nan Qiankun quickly regained his senses and cursed, "Stinking girl, you dare to snatch this daddy's money, you don't want to live! You money loser! "
The more he scolded, the more unpleasant it sounded. The Southern Universe was in high spirits, "Money loser, once you marry into a rich family, you start to forget what kind of trash you are. Now you still dare to bother me, you ingrate!"
The sound was not big, but it was loud enough for it could be heard by everyone nearby. Very quickly, everyone started whispering to one another while pointing at the south bridge.
She directly used all her strength to drag the Southern Universe away to a relatively quiet corner. Her forehead was already covered in a thin layer of sweat, and she had only walked a short distance.
Nan Qiankun was still cursing, and he even wanted to attack.
Nan Qiao was too lazy to waste words, she immediately went straight to the point. "Today, I have come to confirm one thing: how did my mother die?!"
At the mention of Zhang Fenglan, South Heaven was stunned for a few seconds, her mouth was still spitting dirty words, but her arrogance had decreased. It was just a bunch of nonsense, not willing to answer the South Bridge's question.
He seemed to be hiding something.
South Bridge cast a sidelong glance at South Heaven, not showing the slightest bit of respect or hatred towards his father. He then moved his thin lips and sneered, "You can choose not to tell me, but Yu Cen Ran loves me so much …"
With a bright threat, the South Bridge's lips curled up with a hint of pride: "He's such a strong person, saying that the wind is rain in A city. If I go and tell him that I don't want to see you again, how long do you think you'll be able to stay in this city?"
"You!" Nan Qiankun was furious. His own daughter had made a scene out of him!
Under the pressure of the South Bridge, the South Bridge finally loosened its grip. It told them that her mother died from an illness, and that it was something that happened after Yu Cen Ran's father left.
"At that time, I was drunk while hiding in the ward, and I happened to hear the conversation between that old man of the Yu Family and that stinking woman. He used your safety to threaten Feng Lan!"
When he thought back to the day that happened, Yu Chenghui stood by the bed and threatened that if South Bridge didn't leave Yu Cen Ran, he would hypnotize South Bridge again. However, this time, what he wanted to make South Bridge forget was not as simple as just one person.
"He's the one who forced your mother to death, the one who killed that bitch, the Yu Family!"
His chest heaved up and down, he took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm himself down. "Then why didn't you explain it to me earlier?"
Nan Qiankun pursed his lips. His throat was dry and his voice was hoarse. "It was Yu Cen Ran who threatened me and did not let me tell you the truth!"
