From Nanzhou Airport to Immortal Ridge, police cars cleared the way the entire route.

Nanzhou Airport

Immortal Ridge

The left-behind elderly who had never left the mountains all their lives could usually only see such a scene on TV. Everyone heard that these officials had come to mourn Lin Dongfan's grandfather, and they all gathered to watch. In private, some also remarked that Lin Laogen had not lived in vain, and even after his death so many years ago, someone still remembered him.

- No other names.

Lin Yuzhi stepped out of the car and warmly greeted the onlooking elders.

Named entities:

Lin Yuzhi

She also asked where Lin Laogen's home was.

Named entities:

Lin Laogen

Under the villagers' guidance, Lin Yuzhi saw an earthen house built in the 1950s, with a rusty iron lock hanging on its wooden door, though it was essentially unlocked.

The left side of the house had collapsed, and weeds grew thick inside and out.

No named entities.

The villagers said this was because Lin Laogen and his wife had passed away, and Lin Dongfan only returned during Qingming Festival. The house had been vacant for years, the roof leaked, and the earthen walls were eroded by rain, causing half of it to collapse.

Named entities:

Lin Laogen

Lin Dongfan

Qingming Festival

【36】 Lin Yuzhi entered the ruined house from the debris, searching for traces of her brother Lin Yuanchao's life.

We'll exclude Qingming Festival.

Lin Yuzhi entered the ruined house from the debris, searching for traces of her brother Lin Yuanchao's life.

Named entities:

Lin Yuzhi

Lin Yuanchao

There was nothing useful left in the house.

None.

Not even a pot or pan could be found.

None.

After the house half-collapsed, villagers thought Lin Dongfan would never return to live there, so they took away anything useful, leaving only a dilapidated wooden bed.

Named entities:

Lin Dongfan

On the earthen wall was carved a line of crooked characters:

None.

"This world is beautiful; I will never come again in my next life. —Lin Yuanchao's final words!"

Named entities:

Lin Yuanchao

Following that was Along inscription:

None.

"Let you know the good news: I got into high school. By the way, I'll comment on your last words: these characters are really fucking ugly. —Your son Lin Dongfan!"

Named entities:

Lin Dongfan

Lin Yuzhi was shocked by this sight, her feelings mixed.

Named entities:

Lin Yuzhi

Thinking of her own younger brother, who had just arrived in this world and soon lost his parents, he spent his whole life in this impoverished environment.

None.

Moreover, her eldest nephew Lin Dongfan also grew up in this environment.

Named entities:

Lin Dongfan

If the old father

None.

he would surely feel ashamed and tear up.

None.

Named entities:

This inscription lacks positive energy and therefore should not be aired.

None.

The worst fear finally came true: unexpectedly, Lin Yuzhi feigned ignorance while actually understanding, using this method to force herself to hand over a person.

Named entities:

【85】

Gao Peng assumed an ashamed posture:

Named entities:

【88】

"Lieutenant General Lin, I won't hide it: after receiving your notice yesterday that you were coming, I already ordered the Public Security Bureau and Civil Affairs Department to search for the Lin family's descendants."

Named entities:

【92】

Also "Lin Family descendants": we already have Lin Family.

【95】

Named entities:

- Lin XuChang? We'll decide.

【97】

- Lin Dongfan.

【100】

None.

The case is still under investigation; so far we cannot confirm which Lin Dongfan is a descendant of your Lin family, and we need more time.

Named entities:

【103】

- Lin Family.

【106】

Named entities:

- XuLiangyuan? We'll decide.

【108】

Boss Gao's explanation contains three key points:

Named entities:

【111】

First, it shows that I am making an effort to find your Lin family's descendants, leaving no room for criticism.

Named entities:

【114】

Second, it reasonably avoids responsibility: there are so many Lin Dongfans nationwide; who knows which one is your Lin family's descendant? If we mistakenly apprehend the wrong person, it's purely coincidental.

Named entities:

【117】

- Lin Family.

【120】

Named entities:

- Lin Dongfan.

【122】

If the Lin family refuses to publicly acknowledge the grandson, they must endure the shame and swallow their anger, even if they can't stand it.

Named entities:

【125】

What is an old fox? This is it.

None.

【129】

Named entities:

- XuLiangyuan.

【131】

Lin Yuzhi smiled calmly: "There are many people with the same name? Then let's start by checking Nanzhou—how many Lin Dongfans are there in Nanzhou? I'd like to meet each one; this shouldn't be too much trouble for you, right?"

Named entities:

【134】

- Nanzhou.

【136】

When experts clash, every move draws blood!

None.

【140】

Named entities:

- GaoPeng.

【142】

- Lin Dongfan.

【144】

"What's the problem? Feel free to speak." Lin Yuzhi said.

Named entities:

【147】

At this moment, Gao Peng's face had darkened to the extreme; silently, he seemed to be warning Xu Liangyuan to shut his mouth quickly!

Named entities:

【150】

- XuLiangyuan.

【153】

Named entities:

- XuLiangyuan.

【155】

- Anti-Corruption Bureau Special Task Force.

【157】

Cooperate with the investigation?

None.

【161】

Named entities:

- XuLiangyuan.

【163】

Lin Dongfan is now "involved in a homicide case" and has been detained in a detention center! Such a major stain has been covered up thoroughly by Xu Liangyuan's ambiguous wording.

Named entities:

【166】

- XuLiangyuan.

【168】

It's obvious that Xu Liangyuan wants to silence him, protect the Lin family's reputation, and leave the Lin family room to maneuver.

Named entities:

【171】

- Lin Family.

【174】

None (idiom). Not a named entity.

This causes Gao Peng to also consciously keep his mouth shut; in such an environment, saying again that "Lin Dongfan is involved in a homicide case" would risk directly contradicting the Lin family.

Named entities:

【177】

- Lin Dongfan.

【179】

Having analyzed this, Gao Peng wishes he could dismiss Xu Liangyuan on the spot!

Named entities:

【182】

- XuLiangyuan.

【185】

None.

Gao Peng suppressed his anger and forced a warning smile: "Director Xu, you need to pay more attention to this matter; if anything goes wrong, I'll hold you responsible."

Named entities:

【188】

- Director Xu.

【190】

Are you afraid I'll make a mistake? Or do you resent me for causing trouble?

None.

【194】

Named entities:

- XuLiangyuan.

【196】

- Lin Dongfan.

【200】

「！！！」

None.

Gao Peng's cheeks instantly turned the color of pig liver, yet he still forced a smile.

Named entities:

【203】

Lin Yuzhi also smiled: "Director Xu, then this matter will trouble you." She said, not even bothering to glance at Gao Peng, turned and walked away: "Let's first go pay respects to the late senior Lin XuChang."

Named entities:

【206】

- Director Xu.

【208】

- Lin XuChang? We'll decide.

【210】

Everyone closely followed Lin Yuzhi, nobody daring to fall behind.

Named entities:

【213】

For Gao Peng, this is undoubtedly another obstacle.

Named entities:

We need to output each line.

I don't know whether Wang Xiaosheng has settled the grave matter; today really got off to a bad start! Just got viciously stabbed in the back by Xu Liangyuan, hoping Wang Xiaosheng's side won't hold us back.

Gaopeng took out his phone and dialed Wangxiaosheng's number: "Wangxiaosheng, have you found Linxuchang's grave? Send over the location."

"Found it. I'm on the mountain, I've already seen you. Follow the small path straight ahead, cross the river and turn right, you'll see a path up the mountain."

"Thanks for your hard work."

After receiving the affirmative reply, Gaopeng figured Wangxiaosheng must have taken care of everything.

After hanging up, Gaopeng stepped forward to give Lin Yuzhi directions: "Lieutenant General Lin, Linxuchang's grave is right on that hill across the small river."

"Are the sacrificial offerings ready?" Lin Yuzhi asked.

The civil affairs personnel hurried forward to reply: "Everything is already ready."

Indeed everything is ready, there is an honor guard responsible for the rites, also flower baskets, fruit, and alcohol; but the grave is fake—can they fool Lin Yuzhi, who is full of rebellious spirit?
