In the next two days, Xue Ling couldn't contact her old best friend Xiao Jiaxue.

She was secretly anxious, and her heart felt ominous premonition from time to time, and she could not sleep at night.

She couldn't sleep well for two consecutive days, and her mental state was in a bad state and her face was also very bad.

Others didn't know, but Cheng Tianyuan, the person next to him, knew it very well.

"Wife, the signal caused by a blizzard and the circuit interruption is just not in contact for the time being, so it should be fine. The weather is cold, but there must be some warm equipment in the house. She has lived there for many years, and it is definitely not the first time she deals with the cold winter."

Xue Ling sighed and whispered: "You don't know... This is the first time I have such an ominous premonition... I always vaguely feel that something happened to her."

Cheng Tianyuan frowned and stepped forward to hug her into his arms.

Xue Ling sniffed and said, "These two nights, I often remembered the situation when we were studying together. Also, the books she introduced to me to translate... Later, when we moved to the imperial capital, she chatted with me every now and then... all kinds of memories were very clear. I didn't do this before... It was really the first time."

Cheng Tianyuan patted her back lightly and whispered: "A person will be in the world, whether long or short, sooner or later, you will have to leave. It may be because you are too worried, so you have some illusions. No matter what, think about it first."

"Try to do it." Xue Ling nodded: "I'll contact the third brother again."

That night, Xue Ling and Cheng Huanchong contacted each other, but the signal was still a bit bad, and the call was intermittent.

Cheng Huanchong said that the blizzard had stopped there, but the snow outside was very thick and he couldn't get out at all.

Xue Ling asked him if he could contact Xiao Jiaxue and if he could find a way to call the police.

Cheng Huanchong said he would give it a try, but he couldn't guarantee that he would succeed.

More than an hour later, the third brother called back and said he had called the police, but the other side said that it was impossible to send the police. There were serious shortages of staff and a lot of problems were being dealt with.

Cheng Huanchong asked her to wait a moment. When the snow on the road and the expressway was cleared tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, he went over and checked with his assistant and bodyguard, so that she would not be too worried.

Xue Ling was thousands of miles away and could not do anything at all. She could only remind her youngest son to ensure safety before going out.

"If you can't go out, don't force it. It's dangerous to go out in extreme weather like this. You can't run out rashly just because your mother cares about you."

Cheng Huanchong answered well and promised her that he must make sure he could go out and he would take his people out.

It was not until the afternoon of the third day that Cheng Huanchong called and said that because the snow on the country road had not been cleared, they could not pass for the time being, so they rested in the hotel halfway through.

He said the circuit there had not been connected yet, and many people were cleaning up the snow, and they were helping, but the speed was very slow.

Xue Ling reminded them to be careful that they should not be away at night and try to find a place to stay.

Cheng Huanchong said there were no need to worry. There were already open hotels and taverns nearby, and even if you couldn't get there, there was a place to eat and drink. Moreover, he had two assistants and several bodyguards to accompany him, so the safety was absolutely guaranteed.

It was not until the fourth night that Cheng Huanchong finally heard news.

Unfortunately, it is not good news, it is bad news.

Because of the lack of mobility, Xiao Jiaxue was unable to go out to collect the firewood she had stored after burning it, and she froze to death at home.

The workers who were caring for her rushed over after two days and found that she had passed away. They quickly called the police and transported her body to a local chapel.

Although Xue Ling was already mentally prepared, she was still very sad.

Cheng Huanchong sighed and explained that Xiao Jiaxue's mobile phone could not be charged and could not contact the outside world. Many heating equipment could not be used at home, which caused this accident.

"Mom, the police said that Aunt Xiao had several diary books and a note with her... She said that if she could not get through this level, she hoped that the police would contact her relatives in China and take her ashes back to her hometown for burial. She said... she always wanted to go back."

Xue Ling wiped her tears and asked, "Has the police contacted me? I - I have the phone number of her mother's family."

Cheng Huanchong lowered his voice: "The police had contacted the number left by the aunt before we came, but the aunt's nephew and niece... said they could not go abroad to get the ashes and asked the police to send them back to the country. The police said the procedures were quite troublesome, and if no one handed over, I don't know when it would be done. It was probably the year of the monkey and horse month."

Xue Ling held her forehead and thought for a while, saying, "You stay there, I'll contact her family. You can consult the police first to ask if you can help get the ashes. She has no relatives and no reason there, and she doesn't know many friends. If possible, take her back for burial during the holiday."

Cheng Huanchong agreed and said that he would go to the police station to ask immediately.

Xue Ling rubbed her temples, found Xiao Jiaxue's family number, and dialed it.

She sold all her assets in China before, gave her parents a car, and then went abroad. After her wife passed away, she was very lonely abroad alone, but unfortunately she was inconvenient in her legs and feet. In addition, she had already lost her place in China, so she did not come back.

After a while, Xue Ling hung up the call tiredly.

Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea and walked forward, whispering: "Drink some warmth first."

Xue Ling took it and took a sip.

Cheng Tianyuan asked intently: "How is it? Have you contacted me?"

Xue Ling nodded gently: "Just ask... if there is any inheritance left, and said that the round-trip air tickets are too expensive and they can't afford them."

Cheng Tianyuan whispered in a low voice: "It's not a biological son and daughter, but a blood relationship, so it's no wonder."

"Oh..." Xue Ling sighed: "Wait for the third brother to hear what he said."

Due to the time difference, Xue Ling didn't receive a call from his third brother tonight until the next morning.

Cheng Huanchong said that the police agreed to take away the ashes, and only a signature plus identity certificate was required.

"Where is the inheritance? Aunt Xiao is often sick, but the medical care abroad is extremely expensive. The aunt receives a domestic pension. She is not able to make ends meet here and is in a difficult situation. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to help hire someone to take care of her. Later, I paid for the doctor's expenses, and she couldn't afford it. The old house she lived in was very old, built by her husband's parents, who died, for at least sixty or seventy years. Moreover, the house was not in her name. The police said that her husband's nephew had notified her to go through the inheritance procedures."

After Xue Ling understood clearly, he ordered: "If there is no inheritance, it may not be reliable for her nephew. Third brother, go and follow up on her funeral and help get her ashes back after cremation. Since she is going to come back for burial, I will definitely help her fulfill her last wish."
