Chapter 687
Yelloton was a third–tier city located in the northwest region.
It was an ancient city with its back facing a vast expanse of sky. The citycked in everything except for
yellow sand, thus how it got its name. The “yello” in Yelloton was taken from the word ‘yellow‘.
At twelve noon, Adrian and Mya arrived at Yelloton’s main street in their car. Both sides of the bustling
street were filled with a joyous, festive mood. Several cars headed by a wedding car drove past. It was
a grand sight to behold.
Judging by the situation, someone was getting married.
Mya tilted her head to the side and sized up the passing wedding fleet as she drove. She saw the bride
who was sitting in the wedding car through the car’s window and she started feeling emotional. She
said in a flirtatious tone, “Sir, that woman looks so happy. She’s going to marry her lover soon. Oh, I’m
so jealous.”
Adrian darted a look at Mya, “Are you troubled about your own marriage?”
“Very. How can I not be?” Mya answered, “Out of all my many siblings, I’m the one who’s finding it
difficult to find a partner. My best friend from childhood already has a child who’s six or seven now
while I don’t even have a boyfriend.”
Adrian said, “That’s because your standards are so high that you hold men in contempt.”
Mya grunted as if she disagreed. “Oh sir, shall we go and join the wedding for fun? We can have a
drink or two and maybe I can even catch the bouquet!”
“Enough. Let’s focus on our task,” Adrian said.
Mya ended the topic with an “mm–hm.” She then became serious and said, “ording to our
investigationst night, Eira’s father is named Joel Snow, her mother is Megan Leaf, and she also has
an older brother named Wiley Snow. The family returned from south Navia recently and their home is in
a small yard in north Yelloton.”
“Let’s go.” Adrian beckoned her.
Mya drove the car in the direction of north Yelloton. Along the way, she said, “Joel and Megan are a
little over sixty years old, while Wiley is twenty–nine. Their living conditions don’t seem very good.”
“What does Wiley do for a living?” Adrian asked.
“He works at a steel factory near the pier.”
They chatted casually along the way. Fifteen minutester, the car drove out of Yelloton’s urban area
and arrived at a folk house atst. There was a small yard in front of the basic house built on thend.
The house appeared to have been built just recently and the outer wall had yet to be stered. The
yard was decorated with bright lights. When seen from afar, it looked like the backdrop of a backyard
wedding.
However, the house was empty
“This is the ce, sir,” Mya said after she stopped the car and pointed at the yard.
“Why does the house look so festive?” Adrian was puzzled.
Mya could see that as well. She chuckled and said, “It looks like they’re celebrating something, Why
would the ce be so brightly lit otherwise? But why isn’t there a single person home?”
Adrian had already gotten out of the car and walked toward the yard. Mya hastily got out as well and
followed after him. They walked into the yard and looked around to find that there was no one there
despite the numerous fairy lights hung up.
“Where’s everybody?” Mya looked at Adrian in puzzlement.
Adrian was about to say something when he saw a middle–aged woman walking past the yard. He
approached her and asked, “ Hello, ma’am. May I Inquire where the residents of this house are?”
The middle–aged woman stopped and nced suspiciously at Adrian and Mya. She said, “Are you

family? Their son is getting married today, and the wedding reception is being held at Yelloton Hotel.
Are you here for the wedding?”
“Getting married?”
“Yes. The Snow family’s son is almost thirty years old, and after a lot of effort, he finally found someone
to settle down with. The reception is taking ce at Yelloton Hotel right now. You should head there
quickly.”
Upon hearing this, Mya chuckled and said, “That should be the wedding fleet we encountered. I told
you so we should go there for a drink or two, Let’s go, sir!”
