"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy?" Zhou Mo found that there was no smile on Han Chen's face.
"It's okay," Han Chen sighed helplessly, glancing at the gold and jade Buddha amulet that Zhou Mo had already taken off. "I just feel like... I'm found. My mother always treats you better than she treats me."
Zhou Mo chuckled in amusement.
Liang Xinyun denied it, "Don't talk nonsense, you and Momo are in the same pain."
Han Chen could only hum quietly in his heart.
Do they all hurt the same?
Only a fool would believe that.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell the difference, right?
"Let's eat, let's eat," Liu Xiangru said, "Today is a good day, let's celebrate as a family."
Zhou Mo smiled, holding one mother in each hand, and walked back to his home with them. As he walked, he said, "I'm so hungry. I want to eat two dumplings that mom made."
The family of five happily had a reunion dinner.
…
These days.
Because Zhou Mo was frightened by Ren Huaibo, Han Chen stayed with her in Yuanshangju in order to take care of and comfort Zhou Mo, and never returned to Century Jiayuan.
It's not a good idea to live in Yuanshangju for such a long time.
During the lunch break, Han Chen called Liang Xinyun and discussed whether he and Zhou Mo should go to live with Liang Xinyun across the street.
The bed in Zhou Mo's room is a single bed, and it's a bit crowded for her and Han Chen to sleep on it.
Zhou Mo's room was where she had lived since she was a child. She felt most secure there, so for Zhou Mo's sake, she tolerated the crowding.
But... in the Zhou family, after all, there are four of them living together, which is a bit inconvenient.
It’s okay for a few days, but for a long time... Han Chen is a little uncomfortable.
More importantly... he couldn't even do anything between husband and wife with Zhou Mo in the morning.
Zhou Zheng and Liu Xiangru started too early.
Liang Xinyun lives alone there. When she was renovating her house, in order to make it convenient for Han Chen and Zhou Mo to come back, Liang Xinyun bought a double bed according to Zhou Mo's preferences.
Han Chen was thinking about how to ask Zhou Mo to go with him to his former bedroom.
The place over there is spacious, the soundproofing is good, and...
They had unfinished business there...
"Okay, you and Momo can come live here," Liang Xinyun agreed. "Do you need me to talk to her?"
"No, I can talk to her myself."
"Well, I'll clean up that room again," Liang Xinyun said, "Momo has a mysophobia, so we need to make it cleaner."
"Mom, sorry to bother you," Han Chen said a little embarrassedly, "Thank you."
"Silly son, you only say stupid things," Liang Xinyun said, "I'm your mother, isn't it my duty to do this?"
"Well, thank you anyway."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back in the evening. I'll have dinner here today, and your father-in-law and mother-in-law can come over too."
"good."
After the phone call, Han Chen sent another message to Zhou Mo, saying that he would go back to Liang Xinyu's place to stay that night.
Zhou Mo agreed, and then she said: Actually, I have recovered now and can move back to Century Jiayuan.
Han Chen: Stay for two more days, just to accompany our parents.
Zhou Mo: Yeah.
Han Chen: The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Why don’t we wait until after the New Year to go back to Century Garden?
Zhou Mo: Sure.
Han Chen thought that Ren Huaibo's case would probably have been solved by then.
However, before there was any progress in Ren Huaibo's case, news suddenly came from Liang Dongyan.
It is said that after Ren Huaibo was locked up, he suddenly became mentally ill and was sent to a mental hospital.
When Han Chen saw the message from Liang Dongyan, his heart sank: Is he really mentally ill or just faking it?
Liang Dongyan: I'm not a doctor, so I don't know, but I saw that the Eighth Hospital issued a diagnosis. Ren Huaibo was also sent to a closed hospital for treatment.
Han Chen: What's his condition like? Have you seen him? Do you personally think he's ill?
Liang Dongyan: It's hard to tell. I met him once before and asked him if anyone had instructed him to kill Zhou Mo, but he wouldn't say anything. He was completely dazed, probably frightened by his detention. The next time I saw him... he was like a madman when he learned he was being sent to the Eighth Hospital and refused to go no matter what.
Han Chen was also in a dilemma: It’s really hard to judge.
Liang Dongyan: However, I did get some information from the police investigating the case. Ren Huaibo had been contacted by an unfamiliar number. They asked him who the caller was, and he said it was a sales call. The police responded that it was unlikely. What sales call could last more than ten minutes? Some records even show it lasting half an hour.
Han Chen: Have you traced the number? Have you found out who it is?
Liang Dongyan: We found him. He was a scoundrel, lazy and greedy. He rented out his ID card for money. I don't know who used the ID card, but it's been deactivated.
Han Chen: There are clues.
Liang Dongyan: Yes. But... the police don't think Ren Huaibo was being manipulated. His uncle's case alone is reason enough to target only you and Zhou Mo.
Han Chen: Is there any new developments?
Liang Dongyan: That’s all for now.
Han Chen: Can I keep an eye on Ren Huaibo's movements? I'm afraid he'll use the excuse of mental illness to escape criminal responsibility.
Liang Dongyan: You're worrying too much. I think the Eighth Hospital is saying that Ren Huaibo's condition requires long-term treatment there. And this long-term... might even be longer than the time Ren Huaibo was sentenced to.
Han Chen: Is someone taking ruthless action against Ren Huaibo?
Liang Dongyan: Most likely.
Han Chen: Who do you think it is?
Liang Dongyan: How would I know? Where are your brothers from the Han family? Didn't you ask?
Han Chen: My second brother has clearly stated that he won’t help me. No one else in the Han family will help me, so it shouldn’t be the case.
Liang Dongyan: Where are your other brothers?
Han Chen: They don’t know what Ren Huaibo has done yet.
Liang Dongyan: I think you'd better ask them. If someone is really doing something cruel to Ren Huaibo, their style... is very typical of the Han family.
After Liang Dongyan's reminder, Han Chen also felt that it was just as Liang Dongyan said.
But things seemed to be getting confused again.
What about the mysterious phone call Ren Huaibo received before?
Is it possible that Ren Huaibo did not kill Zhou Mo as instructed on the mysterious phone call, so he was dealt with by the person on the phone?
But think about it, what was the reason for that person to do so?
Kill to silence someone?
Then Ren Huaibo would not be alive now, and the police would not have revealed that he had made such a phone call.
The case is so complicated that it is impossible to sort out a complete and clear thread.
Han Chen had a headache.
Although it is difficult to clarify the cause and effect, there is one thing that is worth being thankful for and celebrating.
This time, Ren Huaibo will never be able to disturb his and Zhou Mo's lives again.
He quickly told Zhou Mo the news, hoping that it would further dispel her fear and reassure her.
However, Zhou Mo replied: "I know." Ren Huaibo's story has spread throughout the college.
Han Chen: Are you still scared?
Zhou Mo: I’m not afraid anymore.
Han Chen: That’s fine.
He didn't care what happened to Ren Huaibo. It would be better if Ren Huaibo sacrificed himself, as long as Zhou Mo would no longer be afraid of Ren Huaibo's existence.
