Chapter 72: Dream Message

After fully learning some information about the creation of the Mysterious Domain, Lü Yang confirmed once again that the Eerie Card he obtained this time was a useless card with no practical value. However, the basic rules about the creation of the Mysterious Domain that this card brought him gave him a sudden feeling of clarity in his mind.

Recalling the two previous experiences in the Mysterious Domain, Lü Yang felt that if he got pulled into the Mysterious Domain again in the future, he would be more focused when analyzing clues, and his mind would be much clearer.

Time to sleep. After getting up tomorrow, he still needed to give those pieces of evidence to Sister Mei so she could take them to the Public Security Bureau.

After completing the Task he had received earlier, he could get some Eerie Points as a reward. Tomorrow… there would definitely be a lot of troubles. Given Sister Mei’s usual reliance on him, Lü Yang felt he definitely couldn’t avoid these troubles.

Anyway, when you help someone, you help them all the way. Who asked Lü Yang to be so kind-hearted?

…

The next day.

Yi Ya got out of bed very early in the morning. After washing up, she picked some snacks from the table and left. After she left, Lü Yang, who hadn’t slept well, went back to bed and slept a bit more, not getting up until ten o’clock.

After going out, Lü Yang first used a public phone by the roadside to call Sister Mei and tell her he was back. Then he ate something quickly outside and hurried to the Qingyuan Residential Area Duplex Apartment renovation site.

“An IOU? Weimin borrowed money from Yiyuan? Over twenty million!?” Sister Mei looked at the IOU Lü Yang handed her with an extremely surprised expression. Clearly, she had no memory of the events in that Mysterious Domain, not even a suspicion that she had forgotten something.

“Your husband had a habit of buying lottery tickets, right?” Lü Yang asked Sister Mei.

“How did you know?” Sister Mei looked at Lü Yang strangely. “He liked watching sports, so he bought soccer lottery tickets and welfare lottery tickets, but I never heard him say he won.”

“I know that based on the scale of your husband’s business back then, he didn’t have that much cash to lend to Li Weimin. So, this morning, I checked the lottery winning records from the time mentioned on the IOU. I found out that two years ago, one week before the date on this IOU, a lottery ticket worth over twenty million was sold at a lottery outlet two streets away from Qingyuan Residential Area.”

“You mean…” Sister Mei’s voice trembled.

“Li Weimin definitely knew about your husband buying lottery tickets and also knew that your husband’s ticket won twenty million. My guess is, Li Weimin had business problems at that time, probably owed loan sharks money. He urgently needed this money to keep things going. So, he wrote this IOU to your husband Li Yiyuan, promised high interest, and said he would pay it back in a month.”

“But when he wrote the IOU, he never intended to pay back the twenty million to your husband. To take this huge amount of money, he exchanged the IOU for the winning lottery ticket your husband held. Then he found Li Fuqiang from the countryside, who used an old truck with fake plates to crash into and kill your husband, and then took back this IOU. But Li Weimin didn’t expect that Li Fuqiang, who seemed honest and loyal, secretly kept the IOU instead of giving it to him, and even secretly recorded all their conversations planning your husband’s murder on his mobile phone…”

Lü Yang told Sister Mei all his previous analysis step by step, and of course, he also told her that this was all just his speculation.

“I never thought…” Sister Mei lowered her head after hearing Lü Yang’s story, her body shaking slightly.

On one hand, the car accident turned out to be murder, orchestrated by someone she trusted, which was hard for her to accept immediately. On the other hand, she also felt it was strange… why did her husband, who loved her deeply, tell Li Weimin about winning the big prize but not her?

Lü Yang looked quietly at Sister Mei. He knew the information he just shared was too much, and Sister Mei would definitely find it hard to accept for a while.

“Don’t be afraid. I will stay by your side and help you get justice from them.” After a while, seeing Sister Mei still silent with her head down, Lü Yang gently comforted her.

“You… how did you find out about all this?” Sister Mei looked up. It was clear she was very unsettled inside, but to Lü Yang’s surprise, she didn’t cry this time.

“It’s a bit strange… Your husband came to me in a dream a few nights ago and told me all this. He also told me where to find the IOU and the mobile phone recording. I didn’t really believe it at first, but I decided to give it a try. I didn’t expect that following the clues your husband gave, I actually found these things…” Lü Yang gave Sister Mei the reason he prepared beforehand, though he didn’t expect her to believe such an unbelievable lie.

“Really? He came to you in a dream?” Sister Mei’s reaction surprised Lü Yang. She didn’t question his story at all. Instead, she looked at him with expectation.

“Yes.” Lü Yang nodded seriously at Sister Mei. In a way, the last Mysterious Domain was like a dream sent by Sister Mei’s husband, a very strange dream. Sister Mei was in it too, she just didn’t remember.

“Did he… mention me?” Sister Mei’s voice trembled.

“Yes, he said he misses you very much and is worried about you. He said you don’t take good care of yourself. He hopes you won’t stay stuck in past sadness. He wants you to start a new relationship. Only when you are happy again can he feel at peace in the other world…” Lü Yang said all the words he prepared in one go.

By now, Sister Mei was already crying uncontrollably. Clearly, she completely believed everything Lü Yang said and didn’t doubt his dream story at all.

…

“When you report this to the Public Security Bureau, don’t tell them about your husband appearing in a dream, or they might not help investigate. If they ask how you got these things, just say you woke up and found them in your house. If they ask more, say you don’t remember.”

After Sister Mei calmed down a bit, Lü Yang instructed her. Even though he thought it was unlikely Sister Mei could fool the police with this story, it was all he could think of for now. They should try it this way first. He had too many suspicious points himself and didn’t want the police looking into him. But if he really couldn’t avoid it, he would have to step forward.

Lü Yang temporarily hid the gold bars and U.S. dollars and didn’t tell Sister Mei. He planned to wait until things quieted down, then find a chance to exchange them for RMB and deposit the money into Sister Mei’s bank account.

“I will…” Sister Mei looked at Lü Yang with tearful eyes. “How can I thank you?”

“If the money is recovered, just treat me to a meal.” Lü Yang smiled.

“Whether the money is recovered or not doesn’t matter. Those people who killed my husband must pay the price!” Sister Mei’s face was full of anger.

“Mm, those who do evil will be punished!” Lü Yang clenched his fist. He believed the law would definitely bring justice to Sister Mei. If the law couldn’t punish these bad people, he wouldn’t mind using some unusual methods to make them pay the price they deserved after he rescued Yi Yi.

As the saying goes… with great power comes great responsibility.

After parting with Sister Mei, Lü Yang went to get a replacement SIM card and bought a cheap mobile phone. After returning to the Real world, he still had to continue working as a decorator. Without a mobile phone, clients couldn’t contact him.
