Chapter 608 - 589: I Know You Suspect the Person Lying Inside Is Not Mo Bai
Xi Siwei had been following Lou Xi and their car the entire time, and in the end, the car carrying Qin Mobai’s corpse actually stopped at the crematorium!
Was Lou Xi planning to immediately cremate Qin Mobai’s body?
This was just too hasty!
Xi Siwei watched as the crematorium staff lifted Qin Mobai’s coffin from the car and moved it towards the crematorium.
They were in too much of a hurry! Why were they so eager to cremate Qin Mobai’s body?
Upon thinking this, Xi Siwei unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.
After Lou Xi completed the forms and formalities, they could proceed with the cremation.
Just as Lou Xi was about to let go, a figure rushed in, blocking the staff who were about to send the body into the furnace.
It was Xi Siwei again!
Lou Xi, with red and swollen eyes, looked at Xi Siwei, "What now, what do you want to do?"
The room exuded a faint eerie smell, as this was, after all, a place where bodies were burned, always making people’s skin crawl.
"Cremating cousin so hastily, we should wait until after the memorial service back in Nancheng." Xi Siwei seemed to have a point, "Grandparents and uncle haven’t even seen cousin for the last time. When you bring back an urn of ashes, how are you going to explain to them?"
"Isn’t it you who should explain? How Mobai died, I believe you’re more clear about it than anyone!"
Their eyes met, and Lou Xi’s overbearing demeanor indeed gave one a headache.
Xi Siwei slightly frowned, seemingly trapped in a dead-end.
Lou Xi especially hated him; even if Qin Mobai died, it seemed they would never be together.
"Hmph!" Lou Xi sneered, "Are you questioning whether the person lying there is not Mobai? Do you think we lied to you?"
With his suspicions exposed by Lou Xi, Xi Siwei didn’t panic. He indeed doubted that Qin Mobai was dead.
Moreover, Lou Xi’s quick attempt to cremate Qin Mobai’s body was inherently suspicious.
"Since you doubt it, open the body bag and see if the person inside is Mobai!" Lou Xi stepped aside, allowing Xi Siwei to act by himself.
Isn’t it just suspicion? Open it and you’ll know.
Inside the room were only one staff member, Lou Xi, Su Lin, and Xi Siwei, adding up to four people.
The staff member looked at them in surprise; this was the first time encountering such an incident before cremation, where they wanted to open the body bag for a check!
Xi Siwei looked at the body bag; really, just opening it up to see if the body belonged to Qin Mobai would reveal the truth.
But if he opened it and the corpse belonged to Qin Mobai, it would confirm Lou Xi’s words, proving he truly wanted Qin Mobai dead! If they went back, even a small exaggeration from Lou Xi would make it hard for him to defend himself, even if innocent!
But if he didn’t open it, Xi Siwei couldn’t confirm if the body belonged to Qin Mobai!
Xi Siwei found himself in a dilemma.
The room’s atmosphere turned tense for a moment, with Lou Xi’s hand tightly gripping her clothes, internally nervous, yet showing a calm and disdainful face.
Disdain for Xi Siwei.
The air seemed to stop flowing; Lou Xi could clearly hear her heartbeat.
If Xi Siwei were to open the body bag...
"Sister-in-law, you must be joking. Opening the body bag would be disrespectful to cousin; how could I do that?" Xi Siwei took a step back, yet his gaze remained fixed on that black body bag.
