After settling Liang Mo and the child in, the entire Duan family gathered in an empty hospital room.
Duan Kai then looked at Duan Renji: "What happened to your hand?"
All eyes fell on Duan Renji. Duan Renji gave a wry smile and then took off his gloves, revealing the missing little finger of his left hand.
Duan Renji showed everyone the gloves and then put them back on: "They were from several months ago. I survived by the skin of my teeth, they were shot off by a bullet."
Duan Jiancheng sat to the side with a solemn expression and asked, "Your comrades..."
Everyone held their breath.
Everyone noticed that Duan Renji's face had turned pale. Then, Duan Renji walked to the window, his back to them all, and said, "Two people have been sacrificed, and they have been taken care of."
Everyone fell silent after Duan Renji said this. Shen Niannian, feeling somewhat helpless, grabbed Duan Ze's hand, and Duan Ze silently returned the gesture.
Duan Renji: "I'm alright, but I still have two comrades lying in the hospital."
At times like these, all words of comfort seem so pale and powerless.
None of them knew what mission Duan Renji was going to carry out, but it must have been extremely dangerous; just thinking about it made them feel uneasy.
Finally, Duan Jiancheng spoke up: "Alright, everyone go home first. Liang Mo's situation will be temporarily handled by Renji."
Miao Suzhen was already wiping away tears with her head down, but she still went out with everyone else.
In the end, only Duan Jiancheng, Duan Kai, and Duan Renji remained in the ward.
The atmosphere in the ward was somber, and no one knew what the three of them were saying in the ward.
After Luo Qingyuan and Shen Niannian came out, they also went to Liang Mo's ward.
Duan Ze and Duan Ye stood at the end of the hospital corridor. This was not the first time they had experienced something like this, but each time it made them feel deeply helpless and powerless.
So, Duan Ze pulled out a cigarette from somewhere and handed it to Duan Ye, and the two brothers smoked it in silence.
Nobody knows whose message they'll receive next.
After an unknown amount of time, Duan Ze finally asked, "Is there still no news about the Jiang family member?"
Duan Ye: "It's not that easy. After all, it's a century-old family."
Duan Ze stubbed out his cigarette: "If we can't find it, it will be even more difficult to deal with at your wedding."
Duan Ye turned and left first: "I'll be going back to Kyoto with Qing Yuan tonight."
Duan Ze watched Duan Ye leave.
Just as Duan Ye arrived at the ward door, Luo Qingyuan came out.
"What's wrong?"
Duan Ye smiled, took her hand, and walked out of the hospital: "Let's go back tonight."
As Luo Qingyuan followed him, she said, "But I haven't even said hello to my sister-in-law and the others yet."
Duan Ye: "It's okay, my brother knows, he'll handle it."
The two talked as they walked, and in the blink of an eye they had reached the underground parking lot.
Duan Ye got into the driver's seat, and Luo Qingyuan was in the passenger seat.
Why the sudden rush?
Duan Ye: "I'm not in a big hurry, it's just that it's time to go to work. I took enough leave last year, so I have to go earlier this year."
Therefore, Luo Qingyuan expressed her understanding.
"OK."
They had already packed all their belongings into the car that morning, so they hit the road quickly.
The two took turns driving on the highway, and at dawn the next day, they drove back to Moon Bay.
Yang Li and her servants had already cleaned the house until it was sparkling clean, and when she learned that they were coming back, she had prepared breakfast in advance.
So, Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan ate a hot breakfast around six o'clock in the morning.
After they finished eating, they both went back to their rooms to sleep.
When Luo Qingyuan woke up around 3 p.m., Duan Ye was no longer by her side.
Luo Qingyuan found it strange, so she got up and went downstairs.
Yang Li: "Miss, you're awake. The master said he's going out to handle some business. He told you to eat as soon as you wake up and not to wait for him tonight."
Luo Qingyuan nodded: "When did he leave?"
Yang Li: "Around 11 a.m."
So early?
Luo Qingyuan was somewhat puzzled, but she suppressed her doubts.
Because her phone rang, it was Cheng Suisui calling. As soon as Luo Qingyuan saw the caller ID, she knew it must be something to do with the company. She had been gone for so long, and Henglun had many projects that required her signature to proceed.
Therefore, Luo Qingyuan had no choice but to focus on her work for the time being.
"Okay, I'll be at the company in an hour."
Meanwhile, Duan Ye and Yang Fan were having hot pot at a hot pot restaurant.
Yang Fan was enjoying his meal when Duan Ye spoke up, "Don't just focus on eating! Tell me, have you gotten anything out of those people?"
"Also, Jiang Jingwen has been arrested for so long, why is his sentence so long?"
Yang Fan: "Don't rush, arresting someone depends on timing..."
"As for Jiang Jingwen, that's a matter for those above; what right do I have to speak on that?"
"Besides, do you think I'm not in a hurry? But Kyoto is so big, and there are other people secretly helping him. It's not something that can be caught in a short time."
Yang Fan: "What's more, they also have weapons."
Duan Ye was a little angry, but he couldn't possibly use his grandfather's men for his own purposes; he didn't have that right.
Yang Fan glanced at him and said with a smile, "Your brother is much calmer than you. You've come all this way to see me, can't you be a little more composed?"
Duan Ye: "I'd like to stay calm. I've been sitting here with you for hours. Haven't you had enough to eat yet?"
Yang Fan waved his hand: "Don't rush, take a closer look at that building across the street."
Duan Ye looked out the window: "This is an old-style residential building. There are many places like this in Kyoto."
Duan Ye is right. Although Kyoto is prosperous, not everyone there is rich. Most of the people there are migrant workers from all over the country. And the housing prices in Kyoto are not cheap. Even a ten-square-meter room can be rented for thousands of dollars. Therefore, old-style residential buildings are the first choice for many migrant workers.
Duan Ye quickly realized what was happening.
As Yang Fan cooked the tripe, he laughed and said, "Looks like you're not so stupid after all."
"The place those people gave us is right here. During our time in Kyoto, my men have been staking out this area almost every day, but unfortunately..."
There is currently no trace of it.
As Yang Fan spoke, his mouth greasy with food, he said, "You kids are just too impatient..."
"You know the Jiang family, a century-old family, right? There's a lot more to it than meets the eye..."
Yang Fan suspects that there are people in higher positions than him secretly helping the Jiang family, but there is no evidence yet, and Yang Fan only dares to investigate in secret.
"You, just focus on your work. What's all the commotion here...?"
Before Yang Fan could finish speaking, Duan Ye saw a very familiar figure from behind.
"Wait, what's she doing here?"
