Chapter 1076 - This is a Battle of Wits and Bravery (5)
The dispute gradually calmed down. It was now the middle of April. At this time of year, it would often be drizzling; it would sometimes be cold and sometimes be hot.
The police had nearly completed their investigation into the KSI. The terrorist group had been affected by serious internal disputes after Wang Manpeng’s death. They also had military forces and police from each country chasing after them. They did not even have time to take care of themselves and therefore had no inclination to bother the Ruan Family again.
Wang Manpeng had used his position as the leader of the KSI to settle his private animosity with the Ruan Family. In order to get back at the Ruan Family, Wang Manpeng had died. The events had also caused many the KSI to lose many of its members. They had finally managed to get a foothold in Asia, but all of their efforts had ultimately failed. This was a business transaction that hadn’t been worth it.
Today was the day of Wang Manpeng and Wang Mandy’s funerals. The person that Ruan Zeyan had previously buried in Wang Manpeng’s tomb was a fake and today, the person was real. However, they were burying an incomplete corpse. After the explosion, it had been impossible to recover Wang Manpeng’s body in its entirety.
Wang Mandy’s tomb was next to Wang Manpeng’s. Ruan Zeyan had arranged for their final resting places to be next to each other.
Ruan Zeyan sat in the car and looked at Du Gang and a couple of other people wearing black clothes as they buried Wang Manpeng and Wang Mandy.
The Doctor had originally said that currently, Ruan Zeyan’s health was too bad for him to go outside. However, Ruan Zeyan had been determined to come today. Ling Tianya knew that he was suffering and therefore, did not stop him. Instead, she accompanied him.
However, when they arrived, Ruan Zeyan wouldn’t get out of the car and simply watched from afar.
After it was over, Du Gang approached the car. “Boss, it’s finished.”
“En. Then let’s leave.” Ruan Zeyan turned around and looked straight in front of him. He no longer looked at Wang Manpeng’s tomb and did not properly say goodbye.
There was a picture placed on top of Wang Manoeng’s tomb. It was a picture of him and Ruan Zeyan. That picture had meant a lot Ruan Zeyan, and he wouldn’t leave it behind lightly.
The rain drenched the photo and blurred the faces of the two people. Ruan Zeyan had sent Wang Manpeng off for the last time. From now on, Wang Manpeng would no longer exist for him.
Ling Tianya sat beside Ruan Zeyan and looked at his face. He was still pale from the fever. She gripped his hand tightly. This was the first time she had realized how vulnerable he was.
They arrived at the manor. The gardens at the front and back of the manor were bigger than those of the mansion. After the car drove into the courtyard, there was a long path to drive up before reaching the villa in the middle of the courtyard.
When Ruan Zeyan led Ling Tianya out of the car and into the villa, they heard Madame Ruan’s clear and bright laughter. They hadn’t heard her laugh like that in a long time. The couple shared a glance. Who knew what had happened that had made the old madam so happy.
When they walked in, they saw that there were visitors.
Upon seeing that Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya had returned, Madame Ruan waved them over in high spirits. “You guys are back? Come and see who’s here!”
Ling Tianya looked toward the sofa. There were three women sitting on it, and she didn’t recognize any of them.
She had been married into the Ruan Family for such a long time that by now, she should know all of the Ruan Family’s relatives and friends. However, she didn’t know any of the visitors at all.
However, Ling Tianya could acutely feel that Wang Yazhi’s emotions were very different from Mdm Ruan’s high spirits.
Wang Yazhi was sitting there, her expression heavy. She didn’t say anything, and there was no smile on her face.
This made Ling Tianya look at the three women curiously, wondering who they are.
Ling Tianya looked at them carefully. One of them was close to Madame Ruan’s age. From a glance, the two women looked a little similar.
