Since Zhang Tianxing and the others have said it, this means the investigation cannot be false. It suggests there’s a problem with Song Shuang, and she likely cheated a long time ago. This was something Li Yifei hadn’t anticipated; he hadn’t even considered it, not even when Song Shuang acted strangely yesterday.
Skinny Monkey’s beloved girlfriend, after his death, not only didn’t show up but checked into a hotel with another man! Just thinking about it made Li Yifei burst with anger. Damn, are they really bullying Skinny Monkey like he has no brothers?
After hanging up the phone, Li Yifei instructed Zheng Mingrui and the others to conduct a thorough investigation. Yes, a thorough investigation. No matter who is involved, whether they’re Second Generation Officials or Rich Second Generation, regardless of how high their status might be, this matter cannot be ignored. It must be clarified. As for Song Shuang, her cries now seemed extremely ironic and jarring.
Zheng Mingrui and the others felt the same way. The Snow Falcon squad caused such havoc for the Flying Hawk Squad, and they were angry. But this anger was different from the current anger. Brothers are gone; they couldn’t make things difficult for a brother’s girlfriend. To say they forced Song Shuang to never have a boyfriend again or hand over all the things her brother had given her, that would be absolutely wrong. That shouldn’t happen. However, clearly this was another matter entirely. If this incident was true, Song Shuang would be entirely at fault, and the situation was appalling.
In our current society, absolute freedom is a given. It’s not just youth; even the elderly have this right, and it must not be interfered with by others. But if someone has a partner and still gets involved with others, that goes beyond personal character issues, touching on moral and ethical boundaries that are unacceptable. Of course, Song Shuang and Skinny Monkey weren’t married or even engaged, so in terms of law, perhaps it’s not illegal.
Yet... Although I’m not the law, this time I’m being overbearing just this once, for a friend’s justice!
Li Yifei stood at the doorway, observing Song Shuang pretending to cry and wail in the mourning hall, he thought thusly. He wasn’t one to overreact, but Song Shuang had to give an explanation. As if sensing Li Yifei’s gaze, Song Shuang glanced back in the midst of her wailing, then quickly turned away.
Li Yifei stepped inside, hesitating for a moment when entering the mourning hall. There were so many Yang Family members here. If he questioned here and now, the matter could spread, and Skinny Monkey’s parents, sister, and relatives might be hurt. Thus, Li Yifei’s anger dissipated instantly. Anyway, Song Shuang was here, and she couldn’t run away, so there was no rush!
Li Yifei slowed his steps; as he entered, the Yang Family glanced at him. Skinny Monkey’s mother nodded slightly.
Song Shuang was wiping her tears and had just been lying, saying she didn’t come immediately because she was overly sad and physically unwell. Hearing this initially felt fake, and knowing the background, this woman was utterly detestable.
Just a moment ago, Skinny Monkey’s sister, who was adamant, now fell silent. In the end, the Yang Family still had standards, not totally heartless.
This didn’t equate to heartlessness, merely being reasonable. If they were very wealthy, maybe it wouldn’t matter, but they were just ordinary folk. If they were excessively generous, that wouldn’t be right either. And there was a precondition: that Skinny Monkey’s girlfriend was a normal person. But currently, this was anything but normal.
Time quickly passed to slightly after 6 a.m. Someone prepared breakfast, and everyone ate a bit. Song Shuang didn’t eat anything, saying she’d rest briefly in the car before taking Skinny Monkey to the crematorium. The Yang Family sank back into grief.
Skinny Monkey’s sister called Li Yifei over, whispering, "Later... I’ll talk with Song Shuang about the car issue. Come with me."
"Okay." Li Yifei nodded; he hadn’t addressed it at around 4 a.m. to gauge Song Shuang’s reaction.
Accompanying Skinny Monkey’s sister to the car, they knocked on the door. Through the reflective window tint, Song Shuang could be seen in the back seat, seeming to touch up her makeup. As Li Yifei and Skinny Monkey’s sister approached, she quickly put down what she was holding and wiped her mouth. Li Yifei opened the car door, subtly inhaling as several food scents wafted out. Clearly, she had been eating inside the car.
Eating while saying she was just resting a bit. Li Yifei coldly sneered inwardly; even if it were just this, the car couldn’t be given to her, especially considering the situation behind.
"Sister, you’re here. Come rest in the car!" Song Shuang made room.
Skinny Monkey’s sister forced a laugh and, leaning against the door, got in the car. Glancing back at Li Yifei, she said, "Don’t shut the door. Little Shuang, I wanted to discuss something."
"Alright, Sister, go ahead!" The other party replied.
"I hope you don’t mind. Technically, it’s inappropriate to discuss this now, but my brother is gone, and after today he’ll be buried. I don’t want you tethered to him anymore... tethered is inaccurate. I just... hope you can have a new life later!" Skinny Monkey’s sister said.
Song Shuang seemed to have sensed something, narrowing her eyes and gently smiling, she said, "Sister, you don’t have to beat around the bush. Just tell me directly whatever it is!"
"Alright then, I’ll be direct!" Skinny Monkey’s sister loosened her grip and said, "Here’s the thing. With Yang Yang gone, your relationship has ended. Your conditions are excellent; you’ll surely find a great match in the future!"
"Sister, my relationship with Yang Yang was genuine. We spent so much time together; you should know it was visible. He’s gone, and I’m so sad. How can I let go so easily? You’re taking me for what kind of person?" Song Shuang immediately said.
"Ah, it was my poor choice of words. I didn’t mean to imply you’re that kind of person. It’s just sister’s advice; think it through!" Skinny Monkey’s sister hurriedly explained. Standing next to her, Li Yifei frowned inwardly. Skinny Monkey’s sister was less eloquent and couldn’t compare to the other’s wit; she was easily overpowered, and not speaking now just made retrieving the car more difficult.
Predictably, Song Shuang scoffed lightly, appearing a bit dissatisfied, she said, "Sister, that’s for the future, and it’s my matter. You don’t need to advise me. When I figure things out, naturally, I’ll have clarity. If I don’t, advice won’t help."
"Good, good!" Skinny Monkey’s sister nodded repeatedly, momentarily speechless about how to bring up the car issue.
"Sister, talk about your point. Surely, it’s not just to console me, is it?" Song Shuang said.
Skinny Monkey’s sister glanced at Li Yifei standing at the door, seemed to gain some confidence, and said, "Little Shuang, Sister will get straight to the point—it’s about the car. My brother is gone, and didn’t leave much behind. Our parents are getting old, it’s right to leave some money..."
Before she could finish, Song Shuang’s expression changed drastically, her eyebrows raised, and she quickly retorted, "The car is mine, it has nothing to do with him. Sister, you’re entirely wrong saying otherwise."
"How is it unrelated? My brother paid for it; it’s nearly a hundred and eighty thousand!" Skinny Monkey’s sister immediately replied.
"Let me say it again; this car is mine, not his. You can’t assume it’s yours. He’s just passed away, and you’re being unreasonable!" Song Shuang spoke coldly, directly.
Skinny Monkey’s sister had interacted with Song Shuang previously and knew she was formidable, but she hadn’t expected this sudden face-change. Hurriedly, she said, "How is it that you paid for it? My brother paid; you dare refute?"
"Who told you Yang Yang paid? Is my family lacking money? My parents bought it for me; is that not okay? Sister, your words are too harsh. Yang Yang has just passed, and you’re here for my car; are you taking me for someone easy to bully?" Song Shuang scoffed lightly, showing disdain.
Confronted by this question, Skinny Monkey’s sister was at a loss, unsure of what to say. That money was definitely her brother’s, an undeniable fact. Buying a car isn’t something he wouldn’t share with the family. At the time, the family was shocked by the price but felt proud too. Their brother bought a car worth hundreds of thousands after a few years from demobilization; it was something to boast about, and Yang Yang treated family well, including his sister.
Yet suddenly, the car was claimed as the other party’s purchase. Skinny Monkey’s sister felt both surprised and wronged. Raising her voice slightly, she said, "Little Shuang, did money for the car come from my brother? When you visited family, he said it openly. How did it suddenly become your family’s purchase? You’re blatantly lying now."
"Lying? This car is registered under my name; is it not mine? Did Yang Yang indeed pay? Sister, ask yourself, who does this car belong to now?" Song Shuang seemed intent on refusing to argue, merely laughing coldly once.
Skinny Monkey’s sister was utterly stunned. She blinked twice, in disbelief; a few seconds later, her voice became sharp, "Song Shuang, so now you plan to covet the car? My brother just passed, and you’re already plotting to seize his car?"
"Don’t say it like that. Whether or not Yang Yang paid for it is irrelevant. Even if he did, it was a gift to me; a gifted item belongs to the recipient. How can you want it back? Besides, the car wasn’t his purchase. If you attempt to claim it now, you’re in the wrong," Song Shuang said scornfully.
Her tone provoked a strong urge to punch something. Skinny Monkey’s sister was already unwell, and grief compounded over the past days. These aggravated words immediately strained her heart, causing her complexion to redden sickly and her breathing to become labored. Li Yifei quickly grabbed her hand, channeling a flow of True Qi to stabilize her health.
Thankfully, Li Yifei was present; otherwise, Skinny Monkey’s sister’s condition might have advanced to a critical level, especially her nearly halted heart. Thanks to Li Yifei, she avoided complications; otherwise, the Yang Family would have been even more sorrowful.
