Chapter 628: Chapter 628: The Shattered Tombstone!

By five o’clock in the afternoon, Zhou Yu and Mi Lan finally arrived at Haizhou Provincial City.

This was the first time Zhou Yu had ever stepped beyond the bounds of Qinzhou.

Perhaps due to Haizhou being by the sea, the air here was much fresher than in Qinzhou.

All the way there, although Mi Lan did not show her feelings, Zhou Yu could sense that she was deeply grieved.

To lighten the mood, Zhou Yu joked half-heartedly,

"No wonder your skin is so good; the air here really does nourish the body."

Mi Lan forced a smile.

"It is nice, but I prefer the dry climate of Qinzhou."

After saying this, Mi Lan fell silent again.

Feeling helpless, Zhou Yu could only ask,

"Mi Lan, where do we go next?"

Mi Lan replied,

"Are you hungry?"

"If you’re hungry, let’s eat first."

"Then... we’ll go see my parents’ graves."

Zhou Yu shook his head and said,

"I’m not hungry; since we’re here, let’s take care of business first."

"Mm."

Mi Lan did not say anything more.

The two of them drove straight to Mi Lan’s parents’ gravesite.

It was a large cemetery located in the suburbs of Haizhou Provincial City, covering a vast area. Gazing into the distance, there were densely packed graves numbering over a thousand.

They passed several graves, finally reaching Mi Lan’s parents’ grave site.

However, what they saw rendered Mi Lan speechless.

The grave was dilapidated, the tombstone broken in two and lying on one side, with a mess behind it. It contrasted sharply with the other graves around it.

Mi Lan trembled, her eyes instantly welling up.

"How... could this be!"

She knelt on the ground, struggling to lift the tombstone, but each half weighed over a hundred pounds, and Mi Lan’s frail body simply could not support it.

Zhou Yu hurriedly helped her to lift the tombstone.

Mi Lan hugged the tombstone, crying her eyes out.

Zhou Yu didn’t know how to comfort her, so he just stood behind her and gently patted her shoulder.

"Condolences!"

Mi Lan cried for a moment before wiping away her tears. She moved to the back of the tombstone, took out the shovel she’d brought with her, and prepared to start digging up the grave.

But Zhou Yu stepped forward, stopping her.

"Mi Lan, I don’t know what’s going on here, but I’ve already used Divine Sense to check."

"It’s an empty grave; there’s... no body inside!"

"What??" Mi Lan’s face showed shock.

"How could that be??"

"My parents are definitely buried right here," she said with a tremble in her voice.

Zhou Yu looked at her intently and said slowly,

"This grave... it seems to have been dug up."

After a pause, Zhou Yu continued,

"If you are sure that your parents were buried here, then it appears someone dug up and took away their bodies afterward..."

"This..."

Mi Lan felt a darkness before her eyes and nearly fainted.

Zhou Yu quickly supported her.

Moments later, Mi Lan recovered somewhat.

She could no longer hold back, bursting into loud sobbing.

"Why would this happen?"

"My parents are already dead; why won’t they even leave their bodies alone..."

Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed, a cold light flickering within them.

"Logically speaking, this is a public cemetery; there should be people to clean it regularly. So why is it that only your parents’ grave is in such a mess, and nobody is taking care of it?"

Mi Lan stiffened, her tear-streaked gaze turned towards Zhou Yu.

"You mean..."

"I think the caretakers here must know something," he said.

Mi Lan immediately understood.

"Right, they must know."

"I’ll go find them," she said.

Saying this, Mi Lan turned and ran towards the distance.

Zhou Yu followed closely behind her.

Soon, they arrived at a two-story building next to the cemetery—the management center of Lu Mountain Cemetery.

Following the signs, they came to the door of an office that had ’Management Office’ on it.

Zhou Yu knocked on the door.

After a long wait, an irritated voice came from inside.

"Heard it, wait a moment. What the hell’s the rush!"

A moment later, the door opened, and a sturdy man with yellow hair, wearing flip flops and a red tank top, stepped out.

The tattoos of a green dragon on his left arm and a white tiger on his right, along with his fierce appearance, would make any ordinary demon or ghost take a detour.

The yellow-haired brute glanced at Zhou Yu and Mi Lan standing at the door, his gaze sweeping past Zhou Yu only briefly before staring intently at Mi Lan with a lewd expression.

"Yo!"

"The girl’s quite pretty."

"What do you need, sweetheart?"

Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed, ready to take action.

But Mi Lan quickly stepped in front of him and asked the brute, "Excuse me, I’d like to know why my parents’ tombstone has been smashed, and why no one here is taking care of it?"

Upon hearing this, the yellow-haired brute momentarily froze.

"Eh?"

"Your parents’ tombstone?"

"Which one is it?"

Mi Lan gave the tombstone number.

Upon hearing it, the brute laughed excitedly as if he had won the lottery.

"Hahaha, so I’m in for a score," he exclaimed.

"Didn’t expect you would come straight to me!"

The yellow-haired brute then reached out with his disgusting hand, aiming straight for Mi Lan’s arm.
