"I think Your Uncle and Aunt Xu are both lying to you."
I was taken aback.
"What do you mean?"
Cheng Hao took a deep breath, as if weighing his words carefully.
I widened my eyes.
"That night, I witnessed the entire incident."
"What?"
I looked at him in shock.
"You mean you saw who killed Aunt Gui Lan?"
Cheng Hao nodded, his expression somber.
"That night, I saw Xu Shengjun go up the back mountain."
"I initially thought he was looking for Gui Lan, so I didn't pay much attention."
"But unexpectedly, he tried to assault Gui Lan!"
I couldn't help but gasp.
"What did you say?"
Cheng Hao clenched his fists, his eyes reddening.
"Xu Shengjun was drunk at the time and was getting handsy with Gui Lan."
"Gui Lan fought back with all her might, but the strength difference was too great. It looked like she was about to meet with disaster."
"I was furious and stepped in to stop Xu Shengjun. We got into a fight."
Cheng Hao took another deep breath and continued.
“Xu Shengjun is really strong; I couldn't defeat him.”
“I was injured and lying on the ground, watching helplessly as he dragged Gui Lan into the woods.”
My mind exploded with confusion.
No wonder my uncle went to Aunt Gui Lan's house that afternoon.
No wonder he came back with blood on him.
Was he trying to assault Aunt Gui Lan?
But soon, another question popped into my mind.
If my uncle didn’t kill Aunt Gui Lan, then why has he been hiding it?
And who was the real murderer?
Cheng Hao continued speaking.
“At that time, I was seriously injured and could only lie on the ground for a long time.”
“Gui Lan took the opportunity to run out and find me, saying we should hurry to the orchard for painkillers.”
“But she insisted that we couldn’t leave and had to wait for Aunt Xu.”
I paused for a moment.
“You mean, Aunt Gui Lan refused to leave at that time?”
Cheng Hao nodded and sighed.
“She said she had an appointment with Aunt Xu at Back Mountain Orchard and had to wait for her.”
“I urged her to come with me first, but she absolutely refused.”
“With no other option, I had to go to the orchard alone to get the medicine.”
Cheng Hao rubbed his forehead and continued speaking.
"But I didn't expect that when I returned to the orchard, Gui Lan was already in trouble."
I took a deep breath to calm my racing heart.
"Then why didn't you call the police at that time?"
Cheng Hao let out a bitter laugh.
"I wanted to, but I was beaten so badly that I didn't dare to show my face."
"And..."
He paused, looking at me with a complex expression.
"Do you know who Gui Lan had gotten involved with?"
I was taken aback.
"Who?"
Cheng Hao sighed.
" manager Niu."
I was momentarily stunned.
Who is manager Niu?
Cheng Hao continued.
" manager Niu is the owner of Shanghai Pharmaceutical Manufacturing. He is very wealthy and quite mysterious."
"Gui Lan was supported by him for a while, but later she escaped back to her hometown."
Cheng Hao rubbed his forehead again and continued speaking.
"But this matter is known only to me, not even Aunt Xu is aware of it."
"So at that time, I was very scared, thinking it was the subordinates of manager Niu who did it."
I took a deep breath to calm my racing heart.
"Then why didn't you report it to the police later?"
Cheng Hao sighed.
"Because the next day, I saw a group of well-dressed men come looking for Gui Lan."
"They thought Gui Lan was still alive and said they wanted her to go back and serve them."
I was taken aback.
Well-dressed men?
Could they be connected to that previous group?
Cheng Hao continued speaking.
"I was really scared at that time, thinking they would do something bad to Gui Lan."
"But later I found out they weren't the killers, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief."
I took another deep breath to steady my emotions.
