Chapter 686: The Aftermath (8)
Mu Zhilan sighed lightly. She and Xia Muxue had met too late, and she felt the same way. "I know. Muxue was just hospitalized, and her elder brother had such an accident. Can she get better? Chen'er, is it an accident or man-made?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Nothing. The Xia family has had accidents one after another recently. I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that something is unusual."
Mu Zhilan's words reminded Mu Jinchen that it was not just this one thing. From Xia Ziwei's careful accumulation and emptying of the Xia family, to Liu Yun's gambling and debt to loan sharks, to Xia Jinrong's death, these things seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but the accidents before and after were too coincidental. When Xia Ziwei was transferring assets, he had doubts. It was impossible for such a large amount of money to flow abroad without help. Liu Yun was not dead, but Xia Jinrong's car accident was full of doubts. He felt it was necessary to sort out all the things again to see what was missing.
However, there was no need to mention these to Mu Zhilan for the time being. "A private detective has been sent to conduct a thorough investigation. The authorities will also fully cooperate. The specific situation will have to wait for the results of the investigation."
"That's good."
...
Xia Ziwei woke up in the afternoon. The housekeeper sent someone to deliver lunch to her room. She did not come out to eat with everyone. Xia Jingshan only said, "Let's wait until your father's funeral is done." Then he left her aside.
Su Ran waited until Mu Jinchen came back before going home. Xia Ziwei had been hiding in her room, but she was fine.
Mu Jinchen ordered people to set up the mourning hall in the funeral home according to the highest standards one day in advance. As a direct relative, Xia Ziwei stayed up all night.
There were not many descendants in the Xia family. Wushuang was also going to keep watch, but her body was not healed. In the second half of the night, Mu Jinchen forced her to go back to rest.
Two days later, as Qi Dong said, it was a nice sunny day. The air after the wind and rain was always particularly fresh. However, the mood of everyone in the Xia family did not improve because of the improvement of the weather.
All the specifications of the funeral were in accordance with the traditional customs of S City. Many monks were invited to chant scriptures and hold a vegetarian feast. Xia Jinrong's appearance was dressed up and he wore the best funeral clothes. He died peacefully.
Mu Jinchen and Wushuang came early to take care of everything.
Xia Ziwei was wearing mourning clothes, looking depressed and expressionless, kneeling in front of the mourning hall.
Xia Muxue was also sitting in a wheelchair in white mourning clothes, with Jing Hongyuan standing behind him, who was worried.
Xia Jingshan could not attend the funeral, so Mu Jinchen asked Zhao Zhiliang to accompany him. Speaking of it, the Xia family was really small, and these were the closest relatives.
Xia Jinrong was a good man when he was alive. Many relatives and friends came to hear the news. There were three layers of white wreaths inside and outside, including many employees of Xia's, who came one by one to pay tribute and pay their last respects to the remains.
Because it was an untimely death without any signs, everyone was in great pain.
Su Ran and Jun Xiang, both wearing black clothes, black pants and sunglasses, came early. Su Ran rarely looked serious. She handed the platinum to the person next to her, then went up to shake Xia Muxue's hand and looked at her with some worry, "Aunt Xia, I'm sorry."
Xia Muxue nodded at her, "Ran Ran is thoughtful." She didn't say anything more.
Su Ran glanced at Xia Ziwei who was kneeling beside her with her head down, and now she felt that she was much more pleasing to the eye.
