Zhou Shixun nodded. He was surprised at how efficient Zhou Luancheng was. As for the details, he couldn't explain them clearly over the phone. He had to wait for Zhou Luancheng to come back to find out.
Sheng An Ning sighed: "Let the truth come out quickly. I'm still waiting for school to start. If this continues, I'll be nervous when I go to school."
Zhou Shixun didn't say anything, but he was more anxious than Sheng An Ning. He was anxious to find the people behind the scenes and find out what they had done. Is there anything wrong with Sheng An Ning's health?
Although the hospital said that there was nothing wrong with her, he was still worried. After all, when Sheng An Ning was unconscious, the hospital could not find any problems.
The next morning, Zhong Wenqing was very happy to know that Zhou Luancheng was coming back. He asked his aunt to go to the market to buy a big rooster and some pork ribs.
Then he asked Sheng An Ning if she wanted to eat anything: "When Luan Cheng comes back, he will definitely bring back good news. Then our family can be together in peace."
Sheng An Ning shook her head and waited for Zhou Luancheng to come home with great anticipation.
They were supposed to arrive in Beijing at noon, but Zhou Luancheng didn't get home until the afternoon. What surprised Sheng An Ning even more was that Zhou Shixun brought back not only Zhou Luancheng, but also Mu Xiaowan.
Pointing at Mu Xiaowan in surprise: "You, why are you two together?"
Seeing Sheng An Ning standing in front of her in good health, Mu Xiaowan rushed over and hugged her: "You really scared me to death. Zhou Luancheng and I met at the Gansu Province Railway Station. I happened to be going to Xin Province, so we went together. Then I heard that you were sick, so I followed him back."
After that, he looked Sheng An Ning up and down again: "Are you okay? I was scared to death when I heard about it. You said you were fine at home, how could you be sick?"
Sheng An Ning was even more surprised that Zhou Luancheng had been with Mu Xiaowan for such a long time. She was distracted and gossiping in her mind, thinking, after such a long time, didn’t anything happen?
It was just that Mu Xiaowan had too many questions, so she didn't have time to ask: "I'm fine, I don't know what's going on here yet, I'm just waiting for Zhou Luancheng to come back."
Zhong Wenqing asked her aunt to cook some noodles for the two children. She also knew that Zhou Luancheng and Zhou Shixun must have something to say, so she asked them to go to the study upstairs to talk. She pulled Mu Xiaowan aside and asked them about their trip to the new province.
Zhou Shixun and Zhou Luancheng entered the study room and asked impatiently, "How is it? What's going on over there? Is it still about An Ning's parents?"
Zhou Luancheng nodded and took out a document from his briefcase. There were also a few photos in it. It had been a long time since they were taken, so the black and white portraits on them were a little blurry.
"The agent who was recognized by my sister-in-law's mother was named Ma Chengshan. We also checked all his family members and relatives, but we didn't expect that he had a lover. This lover also gave birth to a son for him. He should be 20 years old this year."
Zhou Shixun looked at the photo and suddenly understood something: "Is this lover Chen Yanqing?"
Zhou Luancheng nodded: "Yes, Chen Yanqing's adoptive parents took her to the new province to make a living, so she knew Ma Chengshan at that time."
In the early years, many people from the mainland went to the new province to make a living, because there was more land there and the food rations were richer than in the mainland.
Zhou Shixun nodded: "This makes it easy to explain why Chen Yanqing refused to say anything. What about their son?"
Zhou Luancheng shook his head: "His whereabouts are unknown. His name is Ma Biao. Here is his photo. I have also asked someone to help keep an eye on him. But the person who helped Chen Yanqing in Beijing this time is someone else."
Zhou Shixun frowned and said, "There is a man with droopy eyes, but his appearance is too vague and his age is unknown. We haven't found him yet."
Zhou Luancheng sighed: "These people are really ruthless. After so many years, they still hope to turn the tables and take revenge?"
Zhou Shixun looked through Ma Chengshan’s criminal record from that year and found that a number of people involved in the case had already died because of this incident.
"If Chen Yanqing wanted revenge, what means did she use?"
Zhou Luancheng was not sure either: "We can only ask Chen Yanqing about this. I think with these things, whether she confesses or not, she will be charged with espionage. This is a serious crime! If she wants to survive, it depends on whether she can take the initiative to speak up and seek leniency."
…
Downstairs, Zhou Chaoyang knew that his second brother was coming back today, and he was restless at work in the afternoon. Finally, he found an excuse to ask for leave and ran back.
He was also very surprised to see Mu Xiaowan, and he and Sheng An Ning surrounded Mu Xiaowan and asked her all kinds of questions.
Zhou Chaoyang kept sighing: "There are so many people, so many cities, how come you just happened to meet each other? And you took the same bus to the same place. If this isn't arranged by Yue Lao, then what is it?"
Mu Xiaowan glared and quickly waved her hands: "Chaoyang, don't talk nonsense, we just met, and we were very busy along the way, so we didn't have time to think about these things."
Zhou Chaoyang was very confused: "My second brother is busy, that's normal, what are you busy with?"
Mu Xiaowan raised her chin with some pride: "Of course I was busy, because we also solved a headless corpse case. It was me who found evidence through the analysis of the corpse and the marks on the scene, and helped your second brother solve the case."
Zhou Chaoyang exclaimed: "It's already like this, and you haven't created any sparks yet?"
Sheng An Ning felt that there was a story behind it, but because Zhong Wenqing and Zhou Hongyun were there, she didn't feel comfortable asking Mu Xiaowan too directly, and she felt embarrassed to ask the girl again.
Although Zhong Wenqing didn't know what happened between Lao Er and Mu Xiaowan, when he heard that the two had gone to the new province together and came back together, he felt that there was still hope for the two. He looked at Mu Xiaowan happily and said, "I see that Xiaowan has lost a lot of weight on this trip. There is still some time before school starts. You can live in our house and we will give you some nourishment."
Mu Xiaowan touched her face and said, "No way, I feel like I've gained weight, but the sun over there is too strong and I got a lot darker."
She followed Zhou Luancheng and experienced the generosity of the northwestern ethnic groups in eating meat with big mouthfuls and drinking wine in large bowls.
A bonfire was lit on the grassland, a sheep was roasted, and people danced around the bonfire to the accompaniment of the dombra.
They are truly happy, simple and warm.
Sheng An Ning looked at Mu Xiaowan with a smile. She felt that there was light in the girl's eyes when she spoke. It seemed that she and Zhou Luancheng were getting along very well during this period.
When Mu Xiaowan was describing to Zhou Chaoyang and Zhong Wenqing the hospitality of the new province, the roasted lamb on the grassland, and the bunches of grapes, Zhou Luancheng and Zhou Shixun came down.
Zhou Luancheng had some time this time and took out a large bag of raisins from his bag: "I can't bring fresh grapes, and these raisins are also very sweet."
The three children were naturally sensitive to sweet things. When they heard the sound, they turned their heads over. When they saw what the uncle was holding, they ran over with giggles and joy...
