Su Tie solemnly took the paper, examined it for a moment, then folded it and put it in his pocket: "I will, thank you, General!"

"Let's go, let's go now!" Shen Guoliang sighed.

Su Tie suddenly hugged Su Ruyi tightly, pressing her head against his chest.

Su Ruyi could feel the strong beating of Su Tie's heart.

Her tears soaked Su Tie's military uniform.

Her voice was muffled and nasal: "I will make those who commit murder and those who give false testimony pay the price!"

With that, she gently pushed Su Tie away: "Fifth Brother, go!"

Su Tie said, "Ruyi, don't act impulsively. Wait for my letter!"

Shen Guoliang said, "By the way, let me know you've arrived safely, and send the letter to Doctor Su here! Don't send it to Dingjiatun! Xiao Zhao will give you the address."

"Okay, I understand."

Su Tie nodded and followed Xiao Zhao to leave.

Su Ruyi hurriedly said, "Fifth Brother, wait a minute!"

She ran up to Su Tie and asked, "Fifth Brother, do you... still hate Ding Xiuling?"

She asked this because Ding Xiuling was still tied up outside the walls of her spatial medical clinic. She had originally planned to have Su Tie deal with her personally, but now it seemed that the opportunity was gone.

Su Tieyun shook his head calmly: "I don't hate her anymore. Looking back now, she was like a spoiled child, unaware that she could hurt people. Compared to her, Ding Xiuping's malice shocked me even more... Never mind, the Ding family has already suffered retribution, let's not talk about this anymore. Ruyi, take care!"

Su Tie is gone.

He stiffened his neck and resisted the urge to turn around.

Su Ruyi was already crying her eyes out.

"Dr. Su, now is not the time to cry. Su Tie's life has been saved, but you will definitely be investigated! You need to go back now, otherwise people will become suspicious!" Shen Guoliang ordered Xiao Fang to take her away without giving her a chance to explain.

"Xiao Fang, isn't there someone lying there?!" When the jeep reached the outskirts of Tieshi, Su Ruyi pointed suspiciously to the distance ahead.

Xiao Fang slowed down and saw an old man with white hair lying motionless on the side of the road ahead.

Judging from the quality of his clothes, this person should be a respectable individual.

"Stop the car! Stop the car!" Su Ruyi shouted.

The car stopped, and the two rushed forward.

Xiao Fang stopped Su Ruyi: "Let me do it!"

As she spoke, she turned the old man over to face up.

Su Ruyi gasped in shock—this man was the old man from her childhood dreams!

White beard and white hair!

For a moment, she even thought she had fainted from lack of oxygen due to crying.

Xiao Fang placed his hand under the old man's nose to test him: "He's still breathing!"

Golden needles appeared in Su Ruyi's palm.

After three needles, the old man slowly woke up.

He immediately covered the back of his head with his hand, and when he took his hand down, it was stained with blood.

He looked at the bloodstains, pouted, and was about to cry.

He then spotted Su Ruyi and grinned, "Yanran? Yanran, how come you've become so young?"

Haicheng accent!!

The red mole on Su Ruyi's palm continued to burn.

This old man clearly has some connection with her, otherwise why would it be his face that appears in her dream?

She didn't know who Yanran was, nor did she know who the old man thought she was. But judging from the current situation, the old man didn't seem to be very smart!

Su Ruyi asked, "Why are you lying on the ground all alone? What happened? How did you hurt your head?"

The old man opened his mouth wide, racking his brain for a long time, but his memory was completely blank. He murmured, "I don't know... the back of my head... hurts..."

Xiao Fang had already helped the old man sit against her.

Su Ruyi examined the injury on the back of the old man's head. It was a hard lump, about half the size of a palm, and it looked quite serious.

No wonder the old man is out of his mind.

Xiao Fang gestured towards the spot not far away and said, "It must have been that brick that hit him!"

Su Ruyi looked over and saw half a blood-stained brick lying on the ground.

"Grandpa, what's your name?!" Su Ruyi asked patiently.

"Yanran! You are Yanran!" The old man replied, seemingly ignoring the question.

"It's possible that he was hit on the head, causing temporary amnesia."

Su Ruyi said to Xiao Fang, "Guard Fang, could you please check the old man's pockets for his identification?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Upon hearing this, the old man immediately stretched out, waiting for him to turn over.

Xiao Fang started by searching the old man's entire body, but all his pockets were empty.

Xiao Fang looked a little embarrassed and whispered to Su Ruyi, "I suspect this old man was robbed! And then beaten senseless!"

"Let's take him to the Tieshi Public Security Bureau."

As Su Ruyi spoke, she and Xiao Fang helped the old man into the car.

When they arrived at the police station, the officers were also at a loss: "He has no identification, where are we supposed to find his relatives? Besides, we haven't received any reports of missing elderly people with dementia!"

"Yanran! Yanran, don't you want your father anymore?"

The old man suddenly rushed up and grabbed Su Ruyi's clothes tightly, tears streaming down his face, "Yanran, don't go! Dad will give you anything you want!"

The way everyone looked at Su Ruyi immediately changed.

Su Ruyi: What kind of trick is this? Why is she trying to pin this on me?

She could only take out her barefoot doctor's certificate from her handbag: "Look, my name is Su Ruyi, not Yanran!"

"Yanran, you changed your name after all? Why are you so stubborn!" The old man was anxious. "Yanran, your mother gave you the name Su Yanran, you can't just change it like that!"

Su... Yanran?

Su Ruyi's scalp tingled – was the old man just saying it casually, or did his daughter also have the surname Su?

If his daughter also has the surname Su, then he should also have the surname Su...

Since she shares the same surname and has been mistaken for his daughter, it's clear she must resemble his daughter somewhat...

We're all from Haicheng...

Could this old man be some kind of relative of mine?

...

Half an hour later, the jeep stopped in front of Jin Dachun's house.

Su Ruyi and Xiao Fang helped the old man of unknown origin into the room.

There was nothing they could do, so the police station reprimanded Su Ruyi, saying she shouldn't have abandoned her senile father.

No matter how she explained, no one believed her.

She had no choice but to... bring the person back first.

She planned to catch Yu Min when he arrived and ask him how to handle this kind of situation.

I guess the old man's family should be able to find him soon, right?

The old man strolled around the yard, then immediately claimed the rocking chair, lay down, rocked a few times, and smacked his lips twice: "Yanran, Daddy's thirsty!"

Zhong Misu was still sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, staring dumbfounded at the overly familiar old man.

Li Wang then fell asleep on the stone table.

Hu Zhenbo's whereabouts were unknown; Su Ruyi guessed he had gone to work.

Seeing that Su Ruyi didn't react, the old man raised his voice even higher: "Yanran, Daddy's thirsty! Make me a pot of tea and put in three pieces of rock sugar!"
