Min Ningwan came to Ji Minglou in a hurry. "Minglou!"
She paused.
The room was dark and there was no hand lamp. There was only the faint candlelight under the corridor, mixed with a few strands of cold moonlight that shone on Ji Minglou.

Min Ningwan's heart skipped a beat.
She took a deep breath and slowly walked into the house.
At this moment, she realized that Ji Minglou was holding a piece of paper that had been crumpled by him.
"Minglou…"
She said softly, "Something happened."
Ji Minglou asked in a daze, "How did Dad die?"
Min Ningwan was stunned.
