Henry's heart skipped a beat. The man died, but the other party still wanted to continue with the marriage. Wasn't this a ghost marriage? This kind of thing was clearly prohibited. How could it still exist?
"Why don't you call the police? The police should be in charge of this matter, right?" Henry asked.
Lam's stepmother shook her head. "It's useless. Their family is so powerful that no one in the local area will care about it. Moreover, they know about Lam's father. If we call the police, Lam's father will die. After running for such a long time, if those businessmen knew about it, Lam's father would definitely die!"
"Brother-in-law, the most important thing is that Lam's father has been taken by the family now. They insist on you showing up. I'm afraid that they have also heard of the news during the past two days." Daisy added.
"Ha." Henry chuckled and said, "Ghost marriage, kidnapping, talking nonsense and they still want me to show up?"
Henry didn't even need to think about it. He knew why the other party wanted to see him. It was a traditional family which definitely could not accept the news that Lam was with a married man. They just wanted to get even with him!
Henry turned to look at Lam's stepmother and asked, "Is the date fixed?"
Lam's stepmother nodded. "We've set the date. It's been four days since the man died. We're going to do it on the seventh day. They want us to go back before the seventh day."
"Where?"
Lam's stepmother looked at Henry and slowly said, "Meng Province, the Zhao family's county!"
As soon as Lam's stepmother finished speaking, Henry's cell phone rang. It was a call from an unknown number.
Henry picked up the phone, it was Alex. "Boss, the patriarch of the Tang clan told us that the Zhao clan is in Meng Province, and Azra has also found out that the man from Zhao's Group had been to Meng Province some time ago!"
Henry hung up the phone. The Zhao clan was also in Meng Province! He asked Lam's stepmother, "Is the county you mentioned the largest one of the Zhao family?"
"Yes." Lam's stepmother nodded without hesitation.
After receiving an affirmative answer from Lam's stepmother, Henry immediately linked the Zhao clan with this matter. The feudal ghost marriage had already been forbidden, but the other party had been willing to continue with it. If there was the shadow of the Zhao family behind it, then everything would be clear!
The Zhao clan! He was about to look for them, but they came to him on their own initiative!
"Let's book the tickets." Henry said gently.
As soon as these three words came out, Lam's stepmother suddenly showed a surprised look. She was very clear that this matter had nothing to do with Henry at all. If Henry was not willing to take care of it, there was no need for him to get involved at all!
"Brother-in-law, I..." Lam said. This was the first time she made a sound since Henry entered the room.
"Lam, do you remember what I told you in the car that night?" Henry directly turned around and interrupted Lam.
There was a hint of confusion in Lam's eyes.
"If a friend can help you, don't be so polite. I think we are already friends, don't you think so?" Henry smiled at Lam.
