When Grandma Qin saw Fu Lan's expression suddenly change, she was afraid that Fu Lan would misunderstand, so she quickly introduced them to Fu Lan: "Little Lan, don't be afraid. They are not bad people. This is Comrade Chen Hao, who is the brother of Zhao Zhao's sister-in-law. And this man in uniform is a police officer from the province, surnamed Zhang."
Grandma Qin's words did not put Fu Lan at ease; instead, they made her even more vigilant, especially towards Chen Hao.
"Sister Xing's sister-in-law's brother?" Fu Lan looked at Chen Hao, her brows furrowed, her face full of suspicion. "I heard Sister Xing mention that the Chen family specially brought him from the capital, the one from the family of that high-ranking official, to help Chen Dachuan get off the hook?"
This was the first time Zhang Gong'an had heard of such a thing, and he turned to look at Chen Hao in surprise. Was there really such a saying?
Chen Hao: "..."
Chen Hao's face flushed slightly; he felt a little embarrassed. Although the Chen family had indeed brought him here with this intention, he wasn't stupid enough to get involved in every mess. To have it so blatantly said in public was a bit embarrassing.
Chen Hao coughed lightly and said, "That's not true, they're just making things up."
Fu Lan said with a stern face, "But Chen Dachuan was indeed released. Isn't that your doing?"
Thinking back to the terrifying moment just now, when she almost lost several lives to Chen Dachuan, Fu Lan looked at Chen Hao with a hint of hatred in her eyes.
Chen Hao dared not take on such a serious charge, and quickly shook his head in denial: "Please don't misunderstand, this is not something I can decide casually."
"If it's not you, then who is it?" Fu Lan asked coldly.
Chen Hao turned to Zhang Gong'an for help.
Officer Zhang immediately stepped forward to explain to Fu Lan, saying, "He is not wrong, Miss Fu. There are other reasons why Chen Dachuan will be released. It is indeed not something he can decide casually."
"What's the hidden story?" Fu Lan asked, looking at Zhang Gong'an.
Police Officer Zhang: "..." Since it's been said to be a secret, it's naturally inconvenient to say more.
"I'm sorry, but it involves the details of the case, so it's really inconvenient to disclose anything," said Officer Zhang apologetically.
Fu Lan nearly rolled her eyes to the sky. Why bother saying so much then?
"So, what brings you all here so suddenly?" Fu Lan asked impatiently.
"Xiao Lan, don't be angry. They really have something very important to tell us," Grandma Qin said anxiously, holding Fu Lan's hand. On the way here, she had already heard a rough outline of what had happened from Officer Zhang. The thought that Chen Dachuan was probably hiding somewhere, plotting something, made her extremely anxious.
Fu Lan patted Old Madam Qin's hand reassuringly, then looked coldly at Officer Zhang and asked, "What's the matter, exactly?"
Zhang Gong'an glanced into the courtyard. The yard was neat and tidy, and everything seemed peaceful, as if nothing had happened. A little boy stood at the entrance of the main room, holding a small dog in his arms, watching him warily.
Zhang Gong'an smiled at the little boy, who ignored him and turned to go inside.
Just as he turned around, Zhang Gong'an suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a bruise on his neck that extended all the way down to below his ear.
Zhang Gong'an frowned, instinctively wanting to follow, but Fu Lan blocked his way.
"What do you want?" Fu Lan asked irritably.
Zhang Gong'an smiled sheepishly at Fu Lan and asked, "Did anything happen to your family today?"
"No, everything's the same as usual," Fu Lan said calmly. Before, when no one came, she was constantly on edge, afraid that someone would come and arouse suspicion. Now that someone had actually come, she was surprisingly calm. No matter how much they suspected, she simply wouldn't admit it. That was scum; he was dead, so be it. Neither she nor Sister Xing needed to sacrifice their lives for such a scoundrel. It wasn't worth it, and he didn't deserve it.
"Where is Xing Zhaozhao?" Zhang Gong'an then asked.
“Sister Xing isn’t here; she went into the mountains early this morning,” Fu Lan said.
"So, it's just you and Xing Zhaozhao's three children at home now?" Chen Hao quickly exchanged a glance with Zhang Gong'an, then looked at Fu Lan and asked.
Fu Lan glanced at Chen Hao with disdain, looking impatient, and said, "That's right."
Chen Hao was somewhat helpless, worried that Fu Lan might have a problem with him and be unwilling to cooperate, so he gave Zhang Gong'an a wink and let him come.
Zhang Gong'an nodded in understanding, looked at Fu Lan, and asked, "Can we go in and take a look? We just received news that Chen Dachuan might come looking for trouble because you ruined his plans. He might already be here, hiding somewhere waiting for an opportunity."
It's possible he came a long time ago. If it weren't for Sister Xing's strength, everyone in the house, big and small, even the puppies, might have been dead. Why did he come so late? Why did a beast like him have to be released from prison?
Fu Lan looked at Zhang Gong'an with a gloomy face and asked through gritted teeth, "So, knowing what kind of person he is, why did you still release him?"
Zhang Gong'an sensed the intense resentment churning around Fu Lan. He had some polite words on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't bring himself to say them. He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry."
According to their original plan, they should have kept a close watch on Chen Dachuan. Even if Chen Dachuan had any bad intentions, he shouldn't have had the opportunity to carry them out. Who knew that such an accident would happen? It was indeed a mistake on their part.
Fu Lan ignored him; there was no point in saying anything now, since what was done was done. Nevertheless, she still stepped aside.
At this moment, Hongfei had already carried General Hei back into the house.
He was initially quite happy to see Grandma Qin and was about to greet her, but when he saw the familiar uniform on Officer Zhang, he quickly realized something was wrong and hurried over to find his younger brother.
When Hongyu saw Hongfei carrying Black General over, he was overjoyed. He stretched out his arms and said, "Black General, brother, hurry up, I want Black General."
Hongfei handed the Black General to Hongyu.
Hongyu quickly hugged him, and looking at General Hei's dejected appearance, asked with heartache, "What should we do, brother? It seems that General Hei was really kicked and injured by that bad guy."
"Don't worry, when Mom comes back, we'll take it to Aunt Ding to see if she can cure it," Hongfei comforted his younger brother.
"Hmm." Hongyu nodded, then paused for a moment before belatedly realizing what had happened. She looked at her brother, puzzled, and asked, "Where did Mom go?"
“Mom has gone into the mountains,” Hongfei said.
"Why did Mom suddenly go into the mountains? She didn't even tell me," Hongyu pouted, displeased.
“That bad guy is dead, and Mom is going to send him away,” Hongfei said.
"Dead?" Hongyu looked at Hongfei, still somewhat confused. "Wasn't he asleep?" He clearly saw him covered with a blanket.
