The previous day, at noon.
After lunch, Granny Wallace and Auntie Sun were watching a reality TV show in the living room. Before long, a group of unexpected guys visited their house and claimed to be Wesley's men.
The fierce-looking ringleader told Granny Wallace, "All these years your granddaughter has been lying to you. She didn't study abroad a few years ago. Instead, she was working for a evildoer in Southeast Asia!"
Although Yuna was a little rebellious, she was a good granddaughter to her grandmother. Lying, evildoer... Granny Wallace could hardly imagine how those words would relate to Yuna.
Granny Wallace remembered that someone had pretended to be a policeman to deceive her the other day. Subconsciously, she thought that the group of guys were also swindlers. She shouted angrily, "Get out of my house right now! Or I'll call the police!"
"Oh, old lady. We will. But only after you have a look at these." With that, the man threw her a stack of documents.
Granny Wallace was old, so she couldn't see the Chinese characters on those papers clearly. However, she could plainly see the photos.
Wearing undershirt and army trousers, Yuna appeared in those photos as she was trained to box, to shoot, fight with others in the mud and trekking in the jungle with weapons...
In those photos, Yuna's deer-like eyes looked no longer innocent but fierce and murderous, like a deadly weapon.
"No. It's not my Yuna." The person in those photos looked totally different from the Yuna in Granny Wallace's eyes; she didn't want to believe it. "Take these faked photos! Go away!"
"You raised Yuna. Old lady, you know better than us if it's her or not," the man sneered and said, "Let me tell you one more thing. Yuna didn't come back to Glasgow last year because of her graduation. She returned because the evildoer asked her to work undercover around Brother Wesley."
"No. That's impossible!" Granny Wallace stood up with agitation and shouted, "Don't try to fool an old lady like me. My Yuna is well-educated. She has a decent job. These must be faked photos! I'll have to be rude if you don't leave now!"
"How could an old lady like you, as you said, be rude to us?" The man laughed arrogantly and said, "Yuna thinks that she fooled Brother Wesley, but now she has been sniffed out. We're here to find the evidence that she colludes with Rowdy. Brother Wesley won't let her go!"
With that, the man waved his hand, and the other guys immediately began to rummage around, turning the house upside down.
Granny Wallace was sophisticated; she wasn't scared by their actions, at all.
However, those guys searched Yuna's room and found a Swiss army knife, miniature bombs, and various sorts of self-defense weapons.
If the person who used those items wasn't a police station or a soldier, then it could only be...
Granny Wallace breathed hard, wondering, "How could my Yuna be a criminal?"
"All of these, along with those photos, should be enough to convince you. Right, old lady?" The man walked up to Granny Wallace, then he placed his hands on her shoulders and said, "How dare Yuna lie to our Brother Wesley? Now she's doomed."
"...Please let Yuna off," Granny Wallace pleaded, "I'll give you anything you want if you do."
"We want nothing but her life. Nothing can be exchanged for it." The man applied an item in his hand to the old lady's nape while saying, "If you're unwilling to leave her, you can go now and wait for her in hell."
With that, the man released Granny Wallace and threw the item into the wastebasket.
Granny Wallace lost her balance, and the discomfort in her chest suddenly intensified. She fell to the ground and said, "Xiao Sun, my medicine..."
Auntie Sun had been held down; she had just broken free at that moment. She ran over to get Granny Wallace's medicine and helped her take it, then she called the police and the ambulance.
After that, the group of guys left with what they had found in Yuna's room. Not long after, the ambulance and the police arrived at the same time.
However, Granny Wallace passed away on the way to the hospital, which caught the skilled ambulance doctor unprepared.
Those were the events of the previous noon.
After telling Yuna about that, Auntie Sun looked at her with distress and said, "Yuna, your grandma passed away."
"No, she didn't," Yuna shook her head repeatedly and said, "When I left home she was just fine. She couldn't have passed away. She won't leave me alone..."
Auntie Sun said, "We couldn't get in touch with you yesterday. The police told me that you should go to the funeral home to identify her corpse when you returned."
Yuna covered her ears to shield herself from Auntie Sun's words. "I don't believe it. Auntie Sun, you're wrong. You have to be..."
She would rather die than believe that her grandmother had left this world. She even missed seeing her grandmother for the last time.
"Yuna..." Auntie Sun wiped away the tears on Yuna's face and said, "Come on."
"I'm fine." Yuna forced a smile with runny eyes and said, "Auntie Sun, I didn't tell my grandma that I was coming back because I wanted to surprise her. She'll be happy if she sees me. Could you please tell her to show up? Don't tease me anymore, please..."
"...Your grandma passed away!" Auntie Sun suddenly shouted, "Yuna, you should face the facts. Don't fool others as well as yourself anymore!"
"..." Yuna looked at Auntie Sun, blanked out. She was an ordinary person with a simple ambition-to see her grandmother again.
"Before she passed away, your grandma asked me to tell you that she didn't blame you, no matter what you've done, because she believed that you have your reasons. She wouldn't want to see you blaming yourself if she were alive. Should you feel sad, just live on. Live your life, you see!?" With that, Auntie Sun shook Yuna violently as if she were trying to wake her up.
"Auntie Sun." Yuna's voice sounded as low as a mosquito's. "I can't see my grandma again, right?"
Auntie Sun made up her mind and tSimon Yuna once again, "Your grandma has left this world."
"..." Yuna felt as if she had been emptied. She froze there, stunned, as tears welled up in her eyes.
The gate of their house was open, and a gust of wind blew into the hall. Although it was midsummer, standing in the draft, Yuna felt a chill on her back.
She asked like a robot, "Auntie Sun, did those guys say that Wesley asked them to come?"
"Yes," Auntie Sun nodded and said, "They said that they had come here to find the evidence about you working undercover. They also said that once it was proven that you are a mole, Wesley would not let you off. Yuna, I have packed up for you. Go now, and never let Wesley find you. Even if it is just to make your late grandma feel at ease, you have to live on."
Yuna froze there, pondering and then asking, "After my grandma was taken to the ambulance, did anyone else visit our house except the police?"
"No. The police told me to keep the scene intact any anyone else outside." Auntie Sun noticed that Yuna looked strange, so she asked, "Yuna, what are you thinking about? Aren't you going to leave?"
"Before leaving, I have to find out some facts."
Yuna broke away from Auntie Sun, then she searched all around the house; not a corner was left out.
In the end, she turned and went out.
Auntie Sun followed her out and asked, "Yuna, where are you going?"
"To the station."
Yuna got in the car and wiped her tears, then she drove straight toward the police department.
After she identified herself, the police station assigned to her grandmother's case walked over and said to her awkwardly, "Miss Xu, we've surveyed the scene and questioned the witnesses. Your grandmother's death was an accident. We found that she wasn't murdered."
Unexpectedly, Yuna's eyes looked cold. She said, "I want to see the evidence from the crime scene and the autopsy report."
"Pardon? For a moment, the police station didn't get her point. Generally, the families of the deceased would go to the police department for the results of investigations; few of them had asked for evidence.
"I want to see the evidence that you collected from my house after my grandma died." Yuna stared at the police station coldly. Then she continued to say, "I know it's against the rules. But I heard that those guys who broke into my house were Wesley's men. Everyone knows that Wesley is a rainmaker in Glasgow. So, I have reason to believe that you declared my grandma's death an accident because you fear Wesley."
"Miss Xu, I am sorry for your loss but you're not supposed to question our professional ethics at will!" The police station became angry and said, "Our detection skills are worthy of the badges on our chests!"
"Then let me see the evidence you have!" Yuna approached the police station and stopped there. She said, "Or I will tell the press about it and threaten you with what you hate the most. Listen, I don't care if I'm playing dirty tricks anymore!"
"...Why do you want to do this?" asked the police station. "It is you who worked for Wesley. You asked for trouble and caused your loved one to die. You should go and get even with Wesley."
"Because I need to know the truth." Yuna stressed her words. "I just want to have a look at the evidence. It's up to you to close the case. I won't disturb you or make any trouble."
The police station thought she was ridiculous and said, "We found out that you betrayed Wesley and his men went to your house. Your grandma was devastated so she died by accident. This is the truth."
Yuna smiled coldly and insisted on seeing the evidence.
In the end, Yuna was taken into an office. The autopsy report, as well as the suspicious items that had been found in her house, all of it was placed on the table.
She carefully read the autopsy report, then she picked up a vial from the pile of items. The vial was exactly the item that had been thrown into the wastebasket by the man who had placed his hands on Granny Wallace's shoulders.
At that very moment, she learned the truth she was looking for.
As she crushed the vial, Yuna suddenly calmed down.
She realized that it was a trap, one that had been set right after she was kidnapped by Rowdy in Mexico.
She thought, "The police station is right. My grandma died because of me."
