By the time he came down, the sky had already brightened.

As he walked past the gate, he saw the security guard at the mountain scenic spot staring blankly at him.

"Where’s the other one..."

Jiang Si didn’t bother with him, simply walked away.

The other person chased after him and shouted once more, but didn’t dare continue further—remembering the mountain murderer from the past.

What if he got killed while chasing him?

Why risk his life as a security guard?

The other one had already registered, recorded the phone number and name, and there were surveillance tapes here, plenty of evidence and clues; the proper choice was to find the police first...

So he didn’t continue blocking Jiang Si, but simply called the police.

Jiang Si, of course, knew what would happen, but he wasn’t interested in dealing with it.

After coming down the mountain, he went straight back to the alley where his mother used to live.

Having spent time with his mother, he became quite familiar with the neighbors, often borrowing stuff from them.

Some early-rising neighbors greeted him.

"Jiang Si, up so early?"

"Yeah."

"Where’s your mom? Weren’t you two going out together?"

"Thrown into the sea."

"Huh?"

Answering casually, the lady just up from bed was a bit confused, holding a toothbrush, not sure if she should ask more.

Jiang Si didn’t waste much time, just went back to the house to pack his things.

Some of the relics were left, and things borrowed from others needed to be returned.

While he was packing his things in the house, a car drove into the alley.

Soon, the younger brother with glasses got out of the car, this time alone.

He walked in and directly questioned:

"Where’s mom? Where did she go!"

Jiang Si didn’t even look at him, just packed the things he bought earlier and placed them together, sorted out the items borrowed before, cleaned them up, and put them into a box.

"Where’s my mom!"

"I said, she’s dead."

Before coming back, he had sent him a message, after all, being the child of their parents, he had the right to know about their mother’s death.

But he didn’t expect him to come so quickly.

Originally, he wanted to leave before he arrived after packing up.

But it didn’t matter anyway.

With a casual reply, Jiang Si washed those buckets, pots, and pans, and returned them to the neighbors’ homes.

The brother just followed him, "When I left, mom was in good health, how did she suddenly die, did you do something? I warn you, the police are looking for you everywhere, if you caused mom’s death, I won’t let you get away!"

Babbling on the side, Jiang Si didn’t pay attention to him, just continued busying himself with his tasks.

Returning to the house again, he put his mother’s used bedding, sheets, clothes, and even shoes into a box, shoved it under the bed.

Then opened the cabinet to continue sorting out the remaining relics.

He saw a card, and a letter.

"Wait, this bank card, it should be the one mom left for me..."

The moment the brother saw the bank card, he shouted, but as he came over, Jiang Si kicked him in the shin.

He fell to his knees on the ground.

Ignoring the brother who cried out in pain holding his leg, Jiang Si sat by the bed, opened the letter.

Read it carefully.

"Jiang Si, mom misses you, after your dad left, mom felt so alone, living by myself felt so meaningless, but dying alone is scary too, ah, if only someone could accompany me, but this old woman gets rejected when visiting others’ homes, it’s not right to bother neighbors either, constantly needing care, health getting worse and worse..."

If you have a thicker skin, you could live so much easier in life because chasing face only makes it hard.

"Didn’t feel it when your dad was around, only after he was gone did I realize, having someone with you is different, even if you’re both so old you can’t move, at death’s door, at least there’s someone to talk to, won’t disdain each other, but everywhere you go you’re disliked, he died first and instead got to enjoy peace."

"Son, I don’t know when you’ll come back, perhaps you won’t, but mom thought, I should leave you a few words, in case you return and both dad and I are gone, how lonely you would be, your dad was stubborn, left all the money to your brother, but mom isn’t biased, mom also left you some money."

"Lu Ya is a good girl, mom can see she really likes you, agreed to let you marry her, but never thought Lu Ya would take you away, don’t know where you went, hope you both can live happily, don’t let the girl do all the giving, otherwise, you’d be as annoying as your dad used to be, the card has two hundred thousand, not much, but enough to buy something nice for the girl."

"Don’t blame mom for not preparing a dowry, Lu Ya doesn’t seem the type to ask for one, but still, it’s right to give something, when you return, go to your brother for half of your dad’s inheritance, it’s not much, but a token of kindness, if your brother doesn’t give it, just show your dad’s will to him..."

After reading, Jiang Si just let out a snort, found it boring.

His brother, holding his leg, lifted his head, "Snort about what? How much is it?"

Jiang Si folded the bank card and letter, put them away, ready to leave when his brother, crouching on the floor, suddenly stood up.

"Wait for me, the inheritance hasn’t been divided yet, why are you leaving! What about mom’s body! As the eldest, aren’t you going to hold a funeral? Do you have any conscience at all, do you know what everyone calls you? Beast!"

Jiang Si turned his head, looked at his hysterical brother, "Mom’s body, I threw it into the sea, if you’re interested, go fish it out yourself."
