Chapter 118: Stranger at the Funeral

This was a cemetery. It was normal for people to mourn, but the moment she brushed past the man, an inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart.

She suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Yu Lang looked at Yu Yao strangely. “Yaoyao, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

“I’m not unwell.” Yu Yao shook her head and frowned slightly. She asked, “Brother, did you notice the man who went over there just now?”

Yu Lang looked in the opposite direction and could no longer see the man’s back. He said, “I didn’t pay too much attention to his looks, but this is a cemetery. Isn’t it normal for someone to come and mourn the dead?”

“But this is not a public cemetery. Almost all the people buried here are sacrificed policemen. That person is probably here to mourn Officer Chen Mo.”

Yu Yao’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper. “But if he’s here for the funeral, why is he so late? The funeral is over and everyone else has left. Besides, he’s holding a red rose bouquet. That’s not in line with the Chinese custom to mourn the dead, is it?”

When Chen Mo’s ashes were buried, his parents had been too agitated and had fainted again. They had been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Yu Lang had always been introverted. He could not reveal his feelings in front of everyone, so he stayed behind. Yu Yao accompanied him for a while.

In the cemetery, other than the two of them, there was only the man who had just passed by them.

Yu Yao pursed her lips and said, “I have a strong intuition that that person is not Officer Chen Mo’s friend, nor is he someone he has helped before. He is very likely someone from the opposite side…”

Yu Lang’s expression instantly turned extremely ugly. “You mean that they might be members of the mysterious organization you’ve been looking for?”

Yu Yao nodded. “Brother, I’m going back to look for him.”

Yu Lang grabbed Yu Yao’s arm and whispered with a livid expression, “Yaoyao, are you crazy? If it’s really as you suspect, then he’s definitely a lunatic who has no bottom line. How could you expose yourself to danger?”

However, Yu Yao had already made up her mind. “Brother, don’t you think that’s too unfair? The other party knows our family’s information and name. As long as they want to investigate, they can know our whereabouts like the back of their hand. But we don’t even know their information. It wasn’t easy for us to overthrow the mental hospital through the internet, but the other party is hiding again. Brother, I don’t want to play hide-and-seek with them anymore…”

Yu Lang was in a dilemma. His friend had died and his family and himself had been in danger. However, their understanding of the enemy was only the tip of the iceberg…

Yu Lang knew that this risk was worth it, but he could not convince himself that he did not care about Yu Yao’s safety.

After thinking for a while, Yu Lang said, “I’ll go with you. We’ll see that man’s face clearly from afar and then leave.”

Yu Yao knew that this was already his best concession. She did not dare to push her luck anymore and nodded in agreement.

The two of them returned the same way and carefully lightened their footsteps.

That man was indeed there to mourn Chen Mo. He stood in front of his tombstone and bent down to place the bouquet in his hand on top of the neatly arranged white bouquet.

He didn’t say anything. He just stood in front of the tombstone for a while. Just as Yu Lang and Yu Yao thought that he wouldn’t do anything else, the man took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped his fingers. Then, he gently threw the handkerchief to the ground…

How could this disrespectful attitude be sincere in mourning the dead?

Yu Lang and Yu Yao stared intently at the man. He was thin and had pale skin, as if he had not seen the sun for a long time. His facial features seemed to have a hint of mixed blood, but his skin and hair color were identical to those of Chinese people.

The man seemed to have noticed Yu Lang and Yu Yao’s gazes and turned his head, his gaze casually landing on the two of them…
