Even though Gu Hengzhi was mentally strong, he was also shocked by Ye Qingyin's words.

This Dongjia Village may not be called big, but it cannot be called small. How is it possible that a big living person has been hiding in the village for so many years!

With so many people talking, how could it be possible that no one would spill the beans? As long as rumors spread, the Dong family would definitely know about it.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Ye Qingyin focused her eyes on an open space under the ginkgo tree and never looked away again.

"A living person cannot hide it, but..."

"That's not necessarily true for dead people!"

"Dead, dead?!" Gu Hengzhi saw Dong Zhan's figure from the corner of his eye and immediately lowered his voice and whispered, "You mean Dong Zhan's mother has..."

Ye Qingyin nodded.

If Dong Zhan's father and grandfather were both killed, then one more life would make no difference to those people, but would save a lot of "trouble".

"Dig it."

"Dig what?"

"What do you say?"

"..."

Gu Hengzhi hesitated. It would not be good to do this in front of Dong Zhan.Otherwise, he should lure Dong Zhan away first.

After such a series of blows, he was afraid that people would fall down directly.

Ye Qingyin understood what Gu Hengzhi was worried about. There were some things he was destined to know.It’s just a matter of length of time.

"Dong Zhan is already an adult, and he has the right to know all this. But your worries are unreasonable...forget it. You'd better..."

"No need." Dong Zhan interrupted the conversation between the two of them. They turned around and found that the person who was standing under the ginkgo tree just now suddenly appeared behind them, and they didn't know how much they heard.

"Dong Zhan, listen to me. The thing is..."

Dong Zhan's eyes were full of sadness that couldn't be dissolved, "I can probably guess it."

He already had a bad premonition when the two of them were sneaking around.Just like Ye Qingyin said, he is already an adult, he should accept the cruel truth, and he will hold on no matter what happens later.

Then, if there is a grievance, there will be a grievance, and if there is a grudge, there will be revenge!

Gu Hengzhi glanced at Dong Zhan worriedly and saw that he was really not joking, so he responded to Ye Qingyin's words and found tools to dig under the ginkgo tree.

The usually pampered eldest young master was digging dirt and smearing his face in disgrace without saying a word, while Ye Qingyin watched from the side.

When Su Jin came back with everyone, he saw that his brother was similar to the beggars on the street, his eyes widened, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Also coming back was Fu Shanshan, who had been looking for Jack Su. She didn't know that Jiang Jinfeng told her about burying the chocolate left behind by poisoning Jiaojiao during their chat.Seeing Gu Hengzhi and the others digging under the ginkgo tree, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

But he felt relieved when he thought that Jiaojiao was fine, and Gu Heng knew how a big CEO could go to such great lengths for a beast.It's just that the smile on his face is a little stiff.

"Mr. Gu, this is dirty, why don't you come out first."

Gu Hengzhi and Dong Zhan worked together to dig a deep pit with a diameter of nearly two meters. They almost turned over the soil at the door and found nothing wrong.

"No, there's nothing under the tree."

Ye Qingyin suspected that Dong's mother had been killed 20 years ago, and her body was buried under this ginkgo tree, but they have found nothing until now.

Ye Qingyin also figured out the moves and didn't notice that there were unknown corpses buried here, which was strange.

Gu Hengzhi and Dong Zhan stood in the pit and looked up at everyone.After searching and finding nothing that looked like a corpse, Dong Zhan actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Over the years, every time he was most helpless and miserable, he would hate his mother for abandoning him, but at this time, he still hoped that she would be alive.

"Hey, what is that?"

Unfortunately, there are always things that don't go as expected.

Su Jin looked at Gu Hengzhi's embarrassed look and found it a bit funny, but he could feel that if he laughed at the current scene, he would definitely be slapped by his brother.

So he had no choice but to squint his eyes and look away.

But this random glance really made him realize something was wrong.

The ginkgo tree has taken root here for 200 years, and its root system is wrapped around and extends to who knows where.Gu Heng knew that they just wanted to find the body and had no intention of harming the root system of the ginkgo tree. When the root system was exposed, Su Jin discovered something was wrong.

He had thick hands and didn't think much about it. He just jumped into the pit and stuck his butt out, not knowing what he was doing.

After about a minute, he suddenly raised the piece of tattered cloth in his hand and shook it, "Hey, I thought it was a treasure buried by others waiting for me to dig up!"

The young master’s scavenger hunt game only resulted in a piece of tattered cloth, which was boring!
He stretched out his hand towards the person standing above, "Sister Ye, give me a hand."

Ye Qingyin did reach out, but she missed his hand and took away the piece of tattered cloth.

Su Jin was dumbfounded. Why was she worse than a piece of rag in the eyes of his sister Ye?
He's really going to make a fuss!

Ye Qingyin looked at the cloth in his hand.The fabric was already powdered, and she was afraid of breaking it when she held it carefully.There is nothing special about such a cheap fabric, many people have it.

But Dong Zhan stretched out his hand tremblingly, trying to touch the cloth in Ye Qingyin's hand but he retracted it.

The unusual behavior caught Ye Qingyin's attention, and she handed the cloth to Dong Zhan, "Do you know him?"

How could I not recognize Dong Zhan!

There is only a small piece of cloth, with a small apricot embroidered on the corner.Although it was eroded by the soil and couldn't see clearly, he knew it belonged to his mother.

Dong Zhan's nose felt sour, he knelt down with a pop, raised his head and shouted: "Mom!"

The mournful songs roared, and the voices wept blood.

The birds sitting on the trees started up and fell down.

Dong Zhan knelt on the spot, his eyes bloodshot, and his fists tightly clenched.

Su Jin licked her lips, she must have done nothing wrong!
"elder brother……"

Gu Hengzhi shook his head at him and was about to help Dong Zhan up when he saw a mouthful of blood spurting out from him.

"what!"

The timid people present were startled by this turn of events and retreated in panic.

Before they could figure out what was going on, the man kneeling in the pit with blood oozing from his mouth fell straight down.

"Xingsheng!"

Gu Hengzhi and Su Jin rushed over to help him up. Dong Zhan grabbed Gu Hengzhi's wrist so hard that it hurt even Gu Hengzhi's bones.

But he didn't wave his hand away.

"Aheng, my mother is dead!"

"She is really dead!"

What on earth did he do wrong to end up with a broken family?

He hates it!
"Aheng, I have no relatives! Aheng!" Dong Zhan held Gu Hengzhi's wrist tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw, "Aheng, because my mother once saved you, I must I want to avenge her!"

"Avenge her!"

Gu Hengzhi felt depressed, his eyes were scarlet, and he nodded in agreement, "You still have Grandma Dong, and me! I will be your relative from now on. Xingsheng, maybe my aunt's remains haven't been found yet..."

Maybe he's not dead...

But Gu Heng didn't know why, but he couldn't say these words.

Dong Zhan didn't answer, just looked up at the sky.

A long time ago, there was a gentle woman who held him in a warm embrace.

The woman patted his back gently and hummed a tune she had learned somewhere, gently coaxing him to sleep.

"Xingsheng, Xingsheng, be good."

"Be good, be good, grow up quickly..."

He has grown up, but where is his mother? (End of chapter)
