Oh! So this was Auntie Liu's husband?
Perfect. We'd found Auntie Liu's family straight away. I could complete Auntie Lu Rou's request.
Delight surged through me.
But I quickly explained:
"So you're her husband, Uncle. Auntie Lu Rou did indeed pass away thirty years ago.
"But if you ask Auntie Liu, she should be able to tell you that Auntie Lu Rou and my Uncle Yu Long were both well versed in feng shui and divination.
"Thirty years have passed, and my auntie misses Auntie Liu very much. That's why she specifically sent me here to find her.
"She hopes they can get back in touch..."
My tone was calm. I wasn't angry at the way he had spoken to us.
After hearing what I said, Auntie Liu's husband's expression changed again.
His eyebrows rose slightly as he kept sizing us up, a thoughtful look on his face.
Clearly, he was searching his memories for anything about Uncle Yu and Auntie Lu Rou.
Only after several seconds did he speak:
"You... were you really sent here by Lu Rou? She... she's been dead for thirty years!"
I nodded again.
"Yes! Thirty years. Uncle Yu said that you and Auntie Liu went to Mountain City to see Auntie Lu Rou thirty years ago."
At that, he immediately sucked in a sharp breath.
"That really did happen. You... you really were sent by Lu Rou!"
"Uncle, of course it's true. I can video-call Uncle Yu right now. Once you see him, you'll believe us."
"..."
As I spoke, I took out my phone.
He didn't refuse.
He seemed dubious, and a little frightened too.
According to Auntie Lu Rou, the man Auntie Liu had married was just an ordinary person.
So they had barely any contact with our line of work. All
