Haozi saw that Yu Xiangnian's face was a little pale, probably because he had been caught in the rain for a long time tonight.

He stopped joking and said seriously, "Don't worry, I'm keeping it."

Yu Xiangnian said, "Give it to me first."

Not long after, Haozi came with a tape recorder.

Yu Xiangnian opened it and saw that the tape was intact inside.

Just then, Li Guo was pushed out of the treatment room, and several people came to the ward together.

Yu Xiangnian asked about the doctor Li Guo's condition and was relieved only after confirming that there were no fatal injuries.

Yu Xiangnian told Haozi and Li Guo not to spread the news that Li Guo was still alive, and asked Haozi to find two people to protect Li Guo.

Li Guo rested and the three of them walked out of the ward together.

Yu Xiangnian said to Cheng Jingmo, "Give me the money you brought."

Cheng Jingmo took out the money he had on him from his jacket pocket, which was about sixteen or seventeen yuan.

Yu Xiangnian also took out five big unity notes from her trouser pocket. They were the royalties she had just received from the publishing house.

The money was soaked and limp.

She stuffed all the money into Haozi's hand and said, "This is for Li Guo's medical expenses. If it's not enough, I'll give you more next time."

"No!" Haozi handed the money back and said sincerely, "I was just joking with you, how could I ask you to pay for it?"

"Besides, Li Guo got more than 70 yuan from Ding Yunfei last time, and just deposited 30 yuan for the hospital fee. The rest should be enough." Haozi said again.

Yu Xiangnian said seriously, "Keep it. Consider it as nutrition allowance and lost wages. Thank you for this!"

It was already two o'clock in the morning when Yu Xiangnian and Cheng Jingmo returned home.

The rain never stopped and both of them were dripping from head to toe.

Maybe it was because of the cold, but Yu Xiangnian's face looked pale. Even her cherry-colored lips were not as bright as before, and her eyes looked much dimmer.

Her hair was wet and stuck to her scalp, and her thin clothes were also stuck to her body, showing off her curvy figure.

Cheng Jingmo hurriedly went to dilute the bath water, let Yu Xiangnian take a bath, and took a cold shower under the faucet himself.

He doesn't feel cold!

After both of them washed up, Yu Xiangnian turned on the tape recorder.

Cheng Jingmo had long anticipated that Ding Yunfei would arrive around the mulberry forest in advance to observe the situation.

So I found a secluded place to hide the recording one day in advance and covered it with a layer of leaves.

When Li Guo arrives at the designated location, he just needs to turn on the recorder.

The two listened to the entire conversation between Ding Yunfei and Li Guo, and heard the sound of a knife piercing skin at the end, and Ding Yunfei said, "You forced me to do this."

Yu Xiangnian seemed to see Ding Yunfei's twisted and perverted face, and her face, which had just come back to normal, turned pale again.

Cheng Jingmo noticed that something was wrong with Yu Xiangnian, and his heart felt like it was being pricked by needles.

"Yu Xiangnian, I'm sorry." He said in a calm voice.

If he hadn't failed to catch Ding Yunfei, Yu Xiangnian wouldn't have been so frightened.

Yu Xiangnian went from being angry and afraid at first to accepting the fact and being afraid now.

She said calmly, "What's there to apologize for? It's not like you didn't want to catch him. Who would have expected Wu Xiaomin to suddenly appear and bump into you?"

Cheng Jingmo lowered his eyes, and his eyes became dim.

Wu Xiaomin bumped into him, and although he stopped for a moment, as long as he could see Ding Yunfei, he would be able to catch up.

It was Wu Xiaomin who held him back and prevented him from leaving, delaying the time, so he had to watch Ding Yunfei disappear in the rain.

Cheng Jingmo said: "Don't go out recently."

"Um."

Yu Xiangnian didn't plan to go out before Ding Yunfei was caught. She didn't want to die yet.

"You should hand over the evidence to the army tomorrow and catch the man as soon as possible," she said again.

In the past, although they suspected that Ding Yunfei committed the crime, they had no evidence and did not report the matter to the army.

Now that the evidence has been obtained, according to regulations, Ding Yunfei must be captured by the troops and tried in a military court.

Yu Xiangnian hid for a whole week and didn't even step out of the gate of the family compound.

We learned from Cheng Jingmo that the army has arranged a special person to be in charge of this case.

But after so long, there is still no news from him.

Yu Xiangnian was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

There is no positioning, no facial recognition, and no high-tech detection and crime-solving technology now.

As long as Ding Yunfei disguises himself, it will be difficult to find him.

Maybe he escaped from South City. Anything is possible.

That morning, Yu Xiangnian was working as a translator at home when the half-closed door was kicked open and Haozi rushed in covered in blood.

Without saying a word, he grabbed Yu Xiangnian's hand and left.

Yu Xiangnian reacted and was shocked, "What are you doing?"

"Brother Ping is dying! Let's go!"

Haozi carried Yu Xiangnian on his back, explaining things to her while pedaling his bicycle, the wheels spinning so fast they were almost on fire.

Because Yu Xiangnian didn't dare to go out, Brother Ping had been sending Xiaojie to class the last few times.

This morning, Brother Ping was sending Ruirui and Xiaojie to class when Ding Yunfei suddenly jumped out and tried to snatch the two children away.

Brother Ping tried hard to protect the child and was stabbed three times by Ding Yunfei.

When he was sent to the hospital, he was already seriously injured and unconscious. The hospital was unable to treat him, so Lao He asked Haozi to ask Yu Xiangnian to perform the surgery.

Yu Xiangnian heard this and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Where are those two children?"

Mouse gasped, "They've been kidnapped!"

"Did he leave any message?"

"No."

Yu Xiangnian was afraid that Ding Yunfei was so cruel that he would even attack a child, but she comforted herself that he wanted to force her to show up.

Before she showed up, Ding Yunfei just took the two children as hostages and would not take any action for the time being.

At this moment, saving Brother Ping’s life is the most important thing!

When Yu Xiangnian rushed to the hospital, Lao He had already prepared everything and was just waiting for her to disinfect, change clothes and go on the operating table.

Brother Ping was seriously injured. If it were someone else, he would have died of a ruptured heart.

But her heart grew on the left side, and Ding Yunfei's knife grazed her heart, giving her a chance to be treated.

The operation was completed three hours later.

As soon as she came out of the operating room, Haozi handed her a letter.

"A child brought it here an hour ago, and I must hand it over to you."

Yu Xiangnian had a bad feeling when he looked at the letter, but he still took it decisively and opened it.

Sure enough, the letter was written by Ding Yunfei.

He asked her to go to the cliff alone before three o'clock. If she called for help, the two children would die. If she was late, he would kill a child for every five minutes she was late.

After reading the letter, Yu Xiangnian's face changed.

Haozi also read the contents of the letter. Although he was angry, he remained calm. "I'll go with you! I have a lot of people here who can be dispatched!"

Yu Xiangnian glanced at the watch on her wrist. It was already half past two. It would normally take her about an hour to get to the cliff.

We can't afford to waste even a minute!

"Mouse, give me the bike and help me do something!"
