Wen Yiming was sent to the hospital on Saturday evening and passed away on Monday afternoon. That same night, the Wen family published an obituary in the newspaper.
Two days later, Zhao Yali and Wen Xu'an held a memorial service at the funeral parlor, and afterward buried Wen Yiming in the West Suburb Public Cemetery.
In early March in S City, the grass was growing, orioles were flying, and fine rain veiled the air.
As Wen Xu'an drove out of the cemetery, he saw a black Maybach parked at the gate. Glancing in the rearview mirror, he only saw Fu Mingyu get out of the car, take an umbrella from the trunk, and then a few people stepped out of the car. The group, holding umbrellas, entered the cemetery.
Though he couldn't clearly see who they all were, Wen Xu'an knew that Bai Heshu had to be among them.
When he got home and chatted with Zhao Yali for a while, Wen Xu'an took the safe key and went to Wen Yiming's study.
