When she asked this question, her small hands gripped Ji Muhan's sleeve tightly, clearly a sign of her lack of security.

Ji Muhan understood, and gently stroked her hair. "Yes, we've arrested all those people. The rest is up to the police; it's not our jurisdiction anymore!"

Mo Xiaoqing suddenly asked, "So, are they really smuggling weapons and trafficking drugs in secret?"

Ji Muhan's expression remained unchanged. "Mm."

Mo Xiaoqing gasped, stammering, "How...how dare they? Isn't that incredibly audacious? Aren't they afraid of being caught red-handed?"

Ji Muhan was clearly used to this kind of thing. "You know, no matter how much the country orders and prohibits it, some people will still take risks for their own personal gain!"

Mo Xiaoqing felt a chill run through her body.

Yes, before this, how could she have imagined that the ultimate boss was actually Bai Yixue, whom she had met once before?

Could it even end up in such a dismal state?

She harbored deep resentment towards Bai Yixue. If it weren't for him, Liangliang wouldn't have ended up like this, nor would she have experienced those...unspeakable painful things.

But after what Ji Muhan just said, she felt that perhaps everyone in this world has a scar in their heart. No one is better than anyone else; they are just buried very deep.

The more glamorous and successful a person appears on the surface, the more stories they have hidden.

Bai Yixue... indeed suffered a lot of innocent troubles in his childhood.

But his biggest mistake was projecting the resentment he had accumulated onto others.

It was precisely because of this that he ultimately met such a tragic and miserable end.

But ultimately, who is to blame? She didn't know who to blame either.

Ji Muhan gently pinched her chin, turning her little face to face him.

His gaze was gentle. "No matter how disappointed you are with this world, never despair, okay?"

Mo Xiaoqing looked up and stared straight into his eyes. For a moment, their eyes met, but they remained silent.

"…good."

Even if everything she's been through during this time has been turned upside down and even to the point of utter disappointment, she will never despair!

because…

He needs her…

And she... couldn't live without him either.

On this day, the sky outside was clear and blue. The gloomy and rainy weather had finally turned into a sunny day, as if trying to drive away the gloom that had accumulated over the past few days.

Mo Xiaoqing disliked the somber atmosphere, so she simply opened the curtains.

As a result, when she turned around, she saw the patient on the hospital bed struggling to get up!

"Wait, didn't the doctor tell you not to get out of bed? Why are you sitting up again?"

Ji Muhan was both amused and exasperated. "I just wanted some water."

Mo Xiaoqing sighed helplessly, "Why didn't you call me for such a small thing?"

Ji Muhan smiled but didn't say anything.

Although she was in a better mood these past two days, she didn't break down and cry like she did that day, but he was secretly keeping an eye on her.

I noticed that she would often drift off into thought or stare blankly at one spot, her gaze unfocused, as if she were trying to remember something.

"Did you even take my words to heart? The doctor said you need to take good care of this injury, otherwise it could cause lasting problems!"

Ji Muhan's gaze was gentle, and the smile on her lips grew even softer.

"You've given the order, how could I dare disobey?"

His serious teasing left Mo Xiaoqing speechless for a moment!

She didn't even dare to look into his mocking eyes.

In fact, he just wanted to put Mo Xiaoqing's mind at ease. He didn't think he couldn't handle such a small matter; it was just that Mo Xiaoqing was too sensitive and worried.

During this time, I don't know if my grandparents have been too carefree towards Momo?

We still want to take this opportunity to let them develop their relationship more...

They never came back again.

Mo Xiaoqing was completely unaware that he was daydreaming and continued muttering to himself.

"Third Brother and the others said they'd be coming to see you later. Shen Shaolin also sent a message saying he'd be coming to see you too. They're going back to their unit in two days!"

Ji Muhan nodded indifferently, "Okay, I understand."

Mo Xiaoqing tentatively asked, "So what do you think?"

Ji Muhan raised an eyebrow and asked calmly, "What do you mean, what do you think?"

Mo Xiaoqing pursed her lips, "...Are you still planning to go back to the army?"

Ji Muhan couldn't help but smile, coughed lightly, and silently raised her eyebrows.

"You've been holding this in for a while now, haven't you? I've noticed you've been restless these past few days, like something's on your mind. So this is what you've been thinking about?"

Mo Xiaoqing touched her nose dejectedly, "...I just didn't know how to bring it up?"

After this incident, her heart didn't seem as carefree as before; she only wanted to keep Hanhan with her.

She can't get back the person she's already lost...

But she wanted to hold onto those who remained…

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you a perfect answer!"

Ji Muhan tapped her nose with her long, slender, and fair fingers. "I don't like seeing you frown. You look so gloomy, and you've even hidden your two pretty dimples!"

Mo Xiaoqing looked at him innocently with her expressive eyes, like a frightened little animal. Her watery eyes were clear and captivating.
