Song Yan was clearly unhappy after returning to his room.

Aunt Wei: What's wrong with you?

"I'm tired, I need to go home and rest early." Song Yan wanted to be alone.

Wei Ping: "Little sister, go back to your room and sleep." Auntie is tired, so of course she should go back to sleep!

"Coming!" Wei An jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed) with his storybook in hand and put on his shoes. He couldn't be slow, or he'd fall behind.

Song Yan was definitely not tired. Aunt Wei wanted to leave the child behind and not disturb her.

But the two children were too fast; one on each side of Song Yan's hand, saying, "Auntie, let's go back to the room and sleep!"

Seeing the child's innocent smiling face, Song Yanqiang mustered his spirits and said, "Let's go back!"

Aunt Wei and Jiang Xiaoxiao both noticed that something was wrong with Song Yan.

Song Yan told the children a story. They then obediently lay down in bed and went to sleep. Song Yan patted the children lightly, but she was actually thinking about many things.

If the same thing happened again, would Song Yan pull out the gun? Song Yan didn't know what he would do.

There was too much urgency at the time, and no time to think it over.

Criminals are willing to kill, even at the cost of mutual destruction.

If the criminals hadn't been killed at the time, who knows what might have happened?

Foreign journalists were sitting in the audience at the Cultural Palace. If something happened, it would be a huge embarrassment for them. Besides, Big Scar had acted too ruthlessly; keeping that kind of desperado around would only allow him to harm others.

"Oh no!" Song Yan slapped his forehead. The New Year was so chaotic; he hadn't even had a chance to speak with Lao Zeng alone. He'd completely forgotten about what he wanted to discuss with him.

The only pet Song Yan has ever owned is Hei Zai, which she owns now. Keeping a small animal isn't unusual. She knows people keep all sorts of things, a wide variety of breeds, and some are quite bizarre. But she simply can't understand why anyone would keep a wolf!

Moreover, at this time, many people are struggling to even have enough to eat every day, so would they have surplus food to raise wolves? And so many of them? It's too hard to imagine. Song Yan felt uneasy. Could there be something hidden behind this?

It's understandable that Captain Wu concealed it, but I don't agree with it. Because there's no concrete evidence, Captain Wu is afraid of being labeled as a rumor-monger.

Song Yan felt a vague unease if this matter were to be kept hidden.

We absolutely need to ask Lao Zeng and Lao Du about this when we have the chance…

Has Lao Zeng's trust in him completely collapsed? Song Yan had considered telling him himself. But…

Song Yan was also very sad...

Old Han and the others were also talking about Song Yan.

Old Liao: "Back then, people didn't care about your gun. You forced them to learn and practice. You can't even say that Song Yan borrowed the gun; you forced it on them."

Old Han: "It's not unusual for things to get lost if you're not careful. It's just that what's been lost this time is a bit unusual. Why are you being so fierce? Back then, Song Yan refused to take it no matter what, and you kept assuring him that no one would be able to find out where the gun came from. Now you've turned your back on him, well, that's quite a change of heart!"

Old Du didn't say anything.

Old Zeng: "Old Du, why aren't you saying anything? Do you also think I'm wrong?"

"What exactly are you thinking?" Old Du asked Old Zeng.

Old Zeng: "I'm a little scared. This child is too bold. Look at her writing prescriptions; she's not worried at all about writing the wrong ones. She won't tell me about the gun unless I ask. She's only fired a few shots, yet she dared to charge at a pack of wolves with a gun in her hand. And she's definitely not telling the truth about the gun."

"That child was so upset, and you just kicked him out with a single word. You should have vomited up all the food you ate." Old Han felt sorry for Song Yan.

"He who eats another's food is bound to him." Old Han wasn't wrong. Old Zeng couldn't remember how much he had eaten from Song Yan.

Old Du: "This child has many strange traits. She's good to us, so we haven't paid much attention to these things. We've eaten so many good things from her. She earns double work points, and she earns more work points, but even if she had money, she couldn't buy that many good things. And with the money she earns, is it enough to live on like this?"

Old Liao asked directly, "What do you mean?"

"It seems Song Yan is doing business on the black market," Old Du said.

"That kid worked hard and risked his life on the black market to earn money and buy good stuff. We old folks ate his fill, and then this old man just turns his back on us like that?" Old Liao said sarcastically.

Although that's not what Lao Du meant, Lao Liao was telling the truth! Everyone felt a little embarrassed.

Old Du coughed lightly to cover his unease. "What I mean is, don't underestimate her. Being able to move freely in and out of the black market, especially for a girl, means she can't be incompetent."

Old Liao: "Before you taught her, did you think she knew kung fu? I think Song Yan was only willing to study medicine, and she accepted that willingly. The others were things you all envied because of Old Han, and I was too. We forced Song Yan to learn them. You taught her a whole host of skills, is it any wonder she's capable?"

No matter what she did, I can't say the child is bad. How did we end up living in this house? It was because of what Wei Aiguo and Captain Wu said. Why did Wei Aiguo step forward? Don't you understand?

I know my own body. If it weren't for these good things to eat and this house to live in, I wouldn't have made it through this winter.

Old Zeng, don't think that just because your old subordinates have taken care of things for you, we're not suffering so much. But that's only recently. Before that, we were only able to eat well thanks to Song Yan.

What Lao Liao said is not wrong.

“She didn’t lose her gun. She’s lying,” Old Zeng said sullenly.
