Chapter 1078: Chapter 504: Tracing the Origin (First Update)

"...If she can’t get over it...?" Daoist Wang and Daoist Quan exchanged a look and saw the bitter smile in each other’s eyes.

This commission is a real pain in the ass!

No wonder that slick fox Mr. Zhuge picked Mrs. Fang’s commission. First, helping the lawful wife take down the homewrecker is exactly the kind of drama the masses love to see. Second, making Miss Tang "show her true form" is also a huge attention grab. Even if she couldn’t be exposed, as long as Miss Tang was driven away, Mrs. Fang’s commission would be considered done.

Daoist Wang and Daoist Quan were both silently regretting their original choice.

But since they picked this commission themselves, they had to finish it even if they had to do it on their knees.

Besides, they still had Lawrence Winters backing them up...

Daoist Wang and Daoist Quan both knew that these last few days Lawrence had basically done nothing, just poking around here and there, with no idea what she was up to.

But Daoist Wang’s relationship with Lawrence was a tiny bit better than Daoist Quan’s, so he was already planning that once they got back, he’d sit down and talk to Lawrence, ask what she was thinking, push her a bit. She couldn’t just give up on her own.

Miss Tang was getting more and more agitated, her face flushing red, like a rose in full bloom, so red it was almost turning black.

She glared at Daoist Wang and Daoist Quan. "You accept my commission and then give me this result? I’m telling you, I don’t accept it! My mother died because of him!"

"...It was just an unintentional mistake, Miss Tang. You’re venting your anger on the wrong person..." Daoist Wang and Daoist Quan sighed and shook their heads.

Miss Tang refused to give up and fought hard to convince Daoist Wang and Daoist Quan.

Lawrence Winters watched her expression and movements carefully and felt that her anger and suspicion were genuine. She wasn’t lying; she truly believed from the bottom of her heart that Mr. Yu was the murderer, not someone who just made an "unintentional mistake."

Yet all the witness statements and physical evidence, as well as the accounts from Miss Tang, Mr. Yu, and Mrs. Fang themselves, all pointed to Miss Tang’s mother dying from an asthma attack.

Mr. Yu wasn’t some prophet either. When he pushed Miss Tang’s mother, he had no way of knowing she’d have an asthma attack.

If he’d known, given their relationship back then, helping her with her inhaler would’ve been no big deal.

So why was it like this?

As Lawrence pondered, she dragged the progress bar on the livestream back and rewatched the scene that had appeared in the bronze mirror earlier.

It wasn’t HD, but it was enough for people to understand what had happened.

Back then, Miss Tang’s mother and Mr. Yu were indeed a golden couple, a perfect match. From Miss Tang’s looks you could tell that her mother had been a rare beauty in her youth.

They’d been in love for over ten years, so why did they break up?

Something flickered in Lawrence’s mind.

It seemed no one had mentioned why Mr. Yu and Miss Tang’s mother broke up back then, from any angle.

Is it really normal for a childhood-sweetheart romance that everyone tacitly acknowledges to just automatically end when they grow up?

That didn’t add up either. Mr. Yu and Miss Tang’s mother had been together for fifteen years, from fourteen to twenty-nine; that was definitely not a "we grew up and just naturally broke up" situation.

Turning it over in her mind, Lawrence immediately sent a WeChat message to Daoist Wang.

[Fellow Daoist Wen]: Fellow Daoist Wang, ask Miss Tang why her mother and Mr. Yu broke up back then. Your "Tracing the Origin" should be able to show more images; I don’t know why it seems a bit short.

Fellow Daoist Wang was quite pleased when he read the first sentence; he felt Lawrence was helping him patch holes.

But when he saw the second sentence, his face fell again.

Did she think he didn’t know the images from "Tracing the Origin" were a bit short?

But there was nothing he could do...

This was tied to the practitioner’s own ability. His skills were only so good; he could only show this much.

Then again, his performance was already pretty impressive. Aside from Mr. Zhuge, probably no one else could match his length.

Fellow Daoist Wang puffed out his chubby chest again and replied to Lawrence: Thanks for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Wen. I’ll ask that first question.

He locked his phone, then smiled and asked Miss Tang, "Miss Tang, we can try to help you again, but do you know why your mother and Mr. Yu broke up back then?"

Miss Tang: "..."

Why would someone suddenly ask that?

Miss Tang’s pupils shrank almost imperceptibly, but she quickly returned to normal, shrugged, and said, "I really don’t know. When my mother passed away, I was still a baby who couldn’t even walk. I honestly don’t know why she and her first love broke up."
