Cheng Xiao Kui hesitated for a moment; Si Mu Yang was someone she couldn't let go of either.
However, considering Si Muyang's current physical condition, he should be out of danger.
She said, "I think catching spies is more important than Si Muyang. There are so many doctors and nurses in the hospital; they will take good care of Si Muyang."
Moreover, unless we capture all the spies as soon as possible, neither Si Muyang nor I can be truly safe.
Her last words convinced Song Jingchuan.
Indeed, the only way to ensure Si Muyang and Cheng Xiaokui's safety is to capture all the spies.
He said, "Your decision is right! Si Muyang is in the hospital, so you don't need to worry about him. Li Hao will arrange for nurses to take care of him, and Cheng Qi and his classmates will also take care of him."
Cheng Xiaokui said with a smile, "With a good brother like you, Si Muyang, I feel more at ease than anything else."
After she finished speaking, she punched Song Jingchuan's shoulder with her little fist.
Song Jingchuan gave a helpless bitter smile. The word "brother" was probably his lifelong enemy!
Commander Zhao asked, "When would you like to begin our plan?"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Let's do it now!"
Commander Zhao said, "Are you going to take Cheng Chunqiu away now?"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Yes. Also, Chief Zhao, could I arrange my mother's funeral?"
Chief Zhao said, "Her case has been investigated and cleared up. You can take her body home and hold a funeral for her."
Cheng Xiao Kui stood up and thanked Chief Zhao, "Thank you very much, Chief Zhao!"
Commander Zhao raised his hand and said, "Why are you being so polite with me? I'll send a few junior comrades to your house to help you out!"
Let them go tomorrow, and then let them come back after your mother's funeral.
Cheng Xiao Kui was extremely grateful to Chief Zhao, who even sent comrades to help her. With these young comrades in green military uniforms helping out at her home, in the eyes of the neighbors, her house had absolutely nothing to do with spies!
In this day and age, gossip can be deadly, and she was really afraid that rumors would spread and the neighbors would mistakenly think they were spies, which would affect her family's business.
Now, with just one word from Chief Zhao, without her needing to explain, all the misunderstandings among the neighbors upon seeing these comrades in green military uniforms vanished.
Song Jingchuan said, "Chief Zhao, I'll take her back to the detention room now and take Cheng Chunqiu away."
Ye Feng said, "Chief Zhao, why don't you send me with some men to help at Cheng Xiao Kui's house? I can keep an eye on Cheng Chun Kui!"
Commander Zhao said, "That's good. With your abilities, I believe you can help Cheng Xiao Kui complete the mission successfully."
Ye Feng stood at attention and saluted.
Song Jingchuan took Ye Feng and Cheng Xiao Kui back to the detention cell.
Cheng Chun Kui didn't expect Cheng Xiao Kui to come back so quickly.
She asked, "Did Commander Zhao approve your plan?"
Her tone and expression remained calm, completely undisturbed, as if an elder sister were simply asking about a trivial matter.
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Chief Zhao has already agreed. You can come with me now."
Cheng Chunqiu said calmly, "Fine, I'll go with you!"
Ye Feng opened the iron gate.
Cheng Chun Kui walked out of the iron gate, following behind Cheng Xiao Kui. After taking a couple of steps, she turned back and looked at the iron gate again.
A helpless, bitter smile appeared on her lips. In truth, no matter where she went, her life was destined to be a tragedy.
On this point, she was more clear-headed than anyone else.
Song Jingchuan took Cheng Xiaokui and Cheng Chunkui back to Cheng Xiaokui's house. He will come to pick them up again early tomorrow morning to retrieve Song Wenhui's body and hold a funeral for her.
Cheng Xiaokui arranged housing for everyone, with Ye Feng staying in the house on the far right.
Cheng Chun-kui lives in the middle house, while she lives in the house on the far left.
This way, no matter what Cheng Chun Kui makes, the people living next to her can hear it. Moreover, Ye Feng has strictly nailed Cheng Chun Kui's windows shut and locked the door, so Cheng Chun Kui has no way to escape.
Late at night, Si Muyang opened his eyes; the room was very dark.
He used his arms to support himself, trying to sit up.
The next instant, the person sleeping on the spring mattress next to the bed immediately sat up and reached out to support Si Muyang's arm.
The woman's voice floated out softly, "Do you want some water? I'll get you some."
Si Muyang was taken aback. He asked, "Why is it you? Didn't I give you a holiday? Are you going home to rest for a few days? Where is Cheng Xiaokui?"
Song Yalan said, "Cheng Xiaokui went home to hold a funeral for his mother. You know his mother has been gone for quite some time. His mother's case has been solved, and he can bring his mother's body home to hold the funeral."
Si Muyang was taken aback, as if this outcome was unexpected.
He asked, "Why didn't she tell me...?"
Song Yalan said, "I heard from my brother that they directly consulted Chief Zhao, and my brother sent Cheng Xiaokui and Cheng Chunkui home overnight. He also sent Ye Feng to help Cheng Xiaokui with her funeral arrangements."
I think I should come back and take care of you for a few more days, until Cheng Xiaokui's mother's funeral is over and she's able to come back and take care of you, then I'll leave.
She still couldn't let go of Si Muyang. Her stepping back to the position of good friend was a different matter from letting go of her feelings for Si Muyang.
Si Muyang said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Song Yalan said, "It's no trouble at all. Why are you being so polite with me?"
Si Muyang said, "I didn't expect Cheng Xiaokui to leave without saying goodbye..."
Song Yalan said, "Respect for the dead is paramount, so Xiao Kui must first arrange her mother's funeral."
Si Muyang said, "I'll go to Cheng Xiaokui's house tomorrow to help her with her mother's funeral arrangements."
Song Yalan said, "That won't do. Given your current condition, you can't overexert yourself."
I think Cheng Xiao Kui didn't tell you because she was afraid you'd force yourself to go back with her. She's worried about your health.
If you want to put her mind at ease, just focus on recovering in the hospital. Don't worry about Xiao Kui; Ye Feng and my brother are helping her."
It seemed that Song Yalan's words had touched a nerve with Si Muyang, but thankfully the darkness concealed the expression on his face.
"Song Jingchuan..."
He uttered only those three words, saying nothing more.
Song Yalan didn't understand why Si Muyang would call out her brother's name.
However, Si Muyang didn't say anything else, and she didn't know what those three words meant either.
She poured Si Muyang a glass of warm water, which he drank sip by sip.
Si Muyang finished the whole glass of water and then drifted off to sleep again.
The next morning, Song Jingchuan drove to pick up Cheng Xiaokui, Cheng Chunkui, and Ye Feng.
Cheng Xiao Kui and Cheng Chun Kui got into the car.
Cheng Chun Kui's expression remained indifferent, revealing no emotion whatsoever; she was as calm as a still lake.
This is something Cheng Xiao Kui has never been able to understand.
She asked, "Didn't you think about anything? Didn't you worry about yourself?"
Cheng Chun Kui shook her head and said, "Xiao Kui, actually I died a long time ago. Do you know that?"
Cheng Xiaokui was taken aback. He asked, "You've been dead for a long time. What do you mean?"
Cheng Chun Kui is definitely a living, breathing person; she's absolutely certain of that!
