The man's dark military boots were like steel nails as he stepped steadily into the mud. The wife in his arms didn't even have a speck of dust on her skirt.
I walked to the end of the alley and stopped in front of a semi-old red brick house.
The gate hidden behind the garbage sorting station is looming. If you don't look for it deliberately, no one will notice this small house.
Biaozi walked forward and tried to push the door, but it was not locked from the inside.
Fu Chai and Boha followed closely behind, with their pistols loaded, ready to shoot and kill at any time.
After waiting for a few seconds and seeing no response from inside, Biaozi continued to walk inside.
The doorway was dark and damp, filled with mold and moisture. There was no light in the small courtyard. In the darkness, one could only vaguely make out two small connected houses.
Based on his experience, Biaozi approached the relatively larger room, pointed the gun at the door, and kicked it open.
Fu Chai and Boha in the back raised their guns, but there was still no movement inside.
Snap——
After a quiet sound of a light being turned on, a dim light came on in the room, dispelling the darkness. The three people who rushed in and the person lying on the bed inside were caught off guard.
Fortunately, the man was calm enough, just coughed twice, then looked towards the door and asked,
"Are you my eldest daughter's people? Isn't she here?"
"Do you know me? Are you Uncle Li?"
Biaozi used a question, but there was not much questioning in his words.
As for the confidant of the old man of the Nan family, he seemed to have met him before with the boss, but after so many years, he had long forgotten what he looked like.
What's more, the person lying on the bed had gray hair and even his beard was gray. His face was covered with wrinkles. It would take a lot of effort to pick him out among a bunch of old men. There was nothing special about him at all.
"Yes, it's me. Where is my eldest daughter?" A glimmer of hope gradually appeared in Uncle Li's yellowed eyes.
"Uncle Li." Nanxi's cold voice came from outside the door. A woman in a lavender dress appeared at the door. Beside her stood her tall, strong, brave and upright husband, his eyes as bright as a beast, staring at the person on the bed.
Uncle Li coughed excitedly several times, then struggled to sit up from the bed.
"Miss, I knew you would come."
"Uncle Li, what's wrong with you?" Nanxi looked at his pale face and finally asked the question in her heart, "Why did you disappear after my father died? Why didn't you come to see me? What happened that day? Who did this to my father?"
Thinking of what happened that day, Uncle Li was still so excited that his chest was heaving violently and his breathing was rapid.
"Miss, I've been hunted down and have escaped death many times. I can't bear to live any longer. I'm hanging on for the last breath just to tell you the truth about my husband's murder."
Uncle Li seemed to be very ill, and he gasped heavily every time he spoke.
"That day you were attacked and asked Mr. for help. Mr. immediately guessed that it was Aung Su who wanted to attack you and threatened Mr. with your life to give up the conditions we had agreed on.
Mr. Wang wanted to use the evidence in his hand that Aung Suw manipulated the election votes and bribed senior officials of the Election Commission to negotiate with him, but Aung Suw was fearless.
In desperation, the gentleman had a falling out with Angsu. After a few words of argument, the gentleman's face turned strange and he fell down holding his chest.
I was next to him at the time and hurried over to support him. Angsu was also scared and turned to go out to call a doctor, but as soon as he left, a man in black came in from the window and kicked me out. My head hit the corner of the table and I fainted.
When I woke up, I was already on a boat. I had been stabbed several times, but luckily I survived.
It was my son Li Hao who risked his life to get me out. We were being hunted all the way. In an effort to save me, when we jumped off the boat, Hao was shot and died.
Nanxi knew that Uncle Li had a pair of twin sons who looked very similar. She could never tell them apart. She used to call them Li Hao and Li Hang randomly. Later, one of them no longer worked with their father, and the remaining one was almost invisible and low-key, so she gradually forgot about him.
"Over the years, I have been hiding in the slums under an assumed name, secretly investigating some suspicious cases, until the second oldest child in my family found me.
Years ago, he had a quarrel with me because of a girl, and later he kept following Nan Suzhi. I was angry and stopped paying attention to him, and I never heard from him again.
When he found me this time, I realized that it was the master who signaled the second son to stay with Nan Suzhi.
He helped Nan Suzhi win over people's hearts in northern Myanmar, but Nan Suzhi used someone else's knife to kill the girl he loved.
Hearing this, Nanxi suddenly remembered what Aunt Ying had said before, about the girl named Dandan, and how Li Hang had helped Liang Lu by accident because of a similar scar.
She looked at Uncle Li with moist eyes, which showed inquiry, suspicion and shock. Her small hand tightly held her husband's big hand, but she finally chose to suppress the turbulent waves in her chest and continued to listen to Uncle Li.
"That girl was a servant in the old house. Li Hang brought her to northern Myanmar. Not many people knew about their relationship. They were usually low-key and cautious, and mostly stayed in the safe zone controlled by the Chinese. The girl was timid and wouldn't offend anyone.
Li Hang pondered over it again and again before he realized that the reason she was murdered might be because she accidentally revealed to him that the old man's death was strange.
Nan Suzhi had many informants in northern Myanmar, and no one knew how this information reached him. However, Li Hang spent a lot of effort to find out that the person behind the murder of the girl was Nan Suzhi, and his motive for the murder was the old man's death.
Nanxi's legs suddenly went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
The husband beside her was quick-witted and quick-handed. He picked her up, clamped her with his iron arms, and held her tightly in his arms.
"I'm here, baby. No matter what happens, I'm here with you. Don't be afraid."
The husband's deep voice awakened his wife, whose mind was completely blank. Her slender fingers tightly grasped her husband's strong arms.
"husband……"
The man knew that this incident was too shocking, and the blow to her was like a bolt from the blue. He exerted force and pressed the woman closer to his body.
"I'm here, baby, leave it to me..."
As soon as the man finished speaking, his wife in his arms fainted from the shock.
“Xixi…Xixi…”
Baru's eyes turned red with anxiety, his voice trembling, and he rushed to the car outside with the person in his arms, leaving only the words "Take the person back."
Nanxi woke up in the car, but Balu was worried and insisted on going to the hospital. It was not until the doctor checked and said that there was no problem with both the adult and the fetus, they just fainted due to the temporary shock and would be fine after waking up that he was completely relieved.
However, the doctor said that it is not good for the health of pregnant women to be too emotional, and advised not to let the pregnant woman be stimulated again. The man nodded repeatedly. On the way back, he played a video of his son. He knew that he was not good at talking and could not say anything to make his wife happy. Only when she saw her son would she feel better.
