Yi Bing, Huo Ling, Shi Jiu and Jiu Ye silently listened to the people's gossips while they ate in a noodle shop not far from the Pei mansion where the large crowd gathered, waiting for the officials to bring Pei Tingting's corpse out for further investigation.
"'mother's abuse'?" Jiu Ye caught the words.
Huo Ling glanced at him. Last night, after they have sorted out all the information they have gathered, Shi Jiu called Yi Bing and Huo Ling after Jiu Ye went to his room to rest, although he doesn't need it. Shi Jiu then told Yi Bing and Huo Ling about the past of them brothers, and Huo Ling apologized. He also promised Shi Jiu to properly apologize to Jiu Ye when there's a chance.
