My master once said that if someone kowtows loudly when you die, you will be reborn in a good place in your next life.
Su Ruyi forced back her tears as she stood up.
It is said that the tears of loved ones can ensnare the soul, and if they fall on the path to the afterlife, they can turn into stones, tripping up the already confused and bewildered soul.
She had just gotten up when Hu Zhenbo came in carrying a basin.
Su Ruyi hurriedly went to her room and took out four or five new, snow-white towels from her spatial storage—these were prepared for her by her fourth brother.
Hu Zhenbo took the towel: "Su Zhiqing, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the old man."
Su Ruyi nodded, turned around and went out the door.
Zhong Misu remained seated on the stone bench, her eyes filled with sorrow.
Su Ruyi couldn't stand that look and looked away.
Zhong Misu said softly, "Go ahead, your fifth brother should still be waiting for you at the general's place. Ruyi, be careful in everything!"
Su Ruyi stared at him in shock, unable to utter a single word.
How could he have known?!
If he knows, will others know too?
With that thought in mind, she didn't hesitate any longer and turned to leave.
When they arrived at the village entrance, Ding Youliang and his oxcart were still lying in the cornfield.
The old ox, with its yoke on its back, struggled for a long time but couldn't get up, so it simply lay down and began to eat the tender corn with an air of nonchalance.
Ding Youliang leaned against the ground and did not get up.
Upon seeing Su Ruyi, he quickly pointed ahead: "General Shen's car has arrived. I had Xiao Fang drive it a little further ahead and wait for it."
Su Ruyi nodded: "Uncle Ding, no one has noticed you're missing yet. You're going to have to suffer for a few more hours!"
Ding Youliang wiped his face: "I'm fine, go quickly, your fifth brother's life is in your hands."
Upon hearing this, Su Ruyi started to jog.
After running for several dozen meters, under the cover of a bend, a dilapidated Warsaw car was parked on the side of the road, and Xiao Fang was sitting anxiously in the driver's seat waiting.
"Dr. Su, you've finally arrived!" He breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Su Ruyi.
Su Ruyi got into the car nimbly, and Xiao Fang turned around in a second. The nimble car shot off like an arrow.
"The general has already placed your fifth brother in a completely safe place. Let's go there now. The general is there too!" Xiao Fang gave Su Ruyi a determined look.
Su Ruyi gripped the seatbelt tightly: "Thank you!"
The place Xiao Fang took Su Ruyi to was not General Shen's residence, but a military base that was two hours' drive from Dingjiatun.
Upon arrival, the Warsaw car drove directly deep into the base.
Su Ruyi immediately spotted General Shen's jeep parked downstairs at a small building.
Su Ruyi followed Xiao Fang upstairs.
The first floor is a dark lobby, and the second floor is a long corridor with hotel room-style layout.
The two walked to the end of the corridor, and Xiao Fang gently knocked on the door.
"Come in!" General Shen's authoritative voice replied.
The two pushed open the door and entered, finding themselves in a room resembling a standard hotel room. Shen Guoliang and Su Tie were sitting on the only two large sofas.
Su Tie was wearing a well-fitting military uniform, with two bandages on his forehead.
Upon seeing Su Ruyi, Su Tie immediately jumped up: "Ruyi! I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill Doctor Jin!"
Su Ruyi nodded: "It's Ding Xiuping, isn't it?"
Su Tie nodded vigorously, then asked suspiciously, "Wait, how did you know? Did you see it?"
Su Ruyi shook her head: "I guessed it. Fifth Brother, don't be anxious, tell me the details."
Su Tie took several deep breaths to calm down and recounted what had happened in detail. When he got to Su Qiaoqiao, he was very puzzled: "That strange educated youth, I don't know why she would lie through her teeth and help Ding Xiuping give false testimony?"
"That Su Qiaoqiao has a grudge against me. I won't let those two get away with this. I will make them pay for my master's life!" Su Ruyi gritted her teeth.
Shen Guoliang said, "Dr. Su, since someone has come forward to give false testimony, there is basically no chance of overturning the verdict."
Su Ruyi looked at Shen Guoliang, waiting for him to continue.
Shen Guoliang pondered for a moment: "I know you are very anxious to avenge your master, but put that aside for now. Your fifth brother's matter is more urgent—he must change his identity immediately. The way Ding Youliang was handled before was very clever. Your fifth brother knocked him unconscious and ran away, and has been missing ever since. That was a very good method."
“But I didn’t kill anyone!” Su Tie stood up, his neck stiff.
“You have no evidence. People will only think that an impulsive young man like you would kill someone, not that a delicate young girl would kill someone, especially since this girl is ruthless enough to cut her own arm! This is the only way to handle this matter!” Shen Guoliang explained. “Su Tie, don’t be discouraged. I will give you a new identity, but you can’t stay in Heilongjiang Province. I will transfer you to another military region far away.”
"To join the army?!" Su Tie was stunned.
"That's right!" Shen Guoliang patted Su Tie on the shoulder. "With those muscles, you're born to be a soldier! Su Tie, if you do well in the army, one day when you're in my position, neither you nor your family will be framed or bullied by anyone. Do you want to join the army?"
“I…” Su Tie looked at Su Ruyi, who nodded at him.
Su Tie felt a mix of emotions.
Joining the army is a rare opportunity, one you couldn't find even with a lantern.
But the real reason this good thing happened to her was that Su Ruyi's master was killed.
And he himself became a suspect.
Old Jin was such a good person.
Suppressing his surging emotions, Su Tie saluted and said, "I do!"
"Good! Well done! Things can change in the long run. You should set off soon! Go back to your hometown, Jiang Province. I have an old classmate there. He'll arrange everything for you when you get there!"
Shen Guoliang was genuinely happy because he was able to help Su Ruyi and repay her for saving his life.
When he heard that Kim Dae-chun had been killed, he was completely petrified.
How could this old man, who always talked about good deeds and merits, end up like this?
It took him a long time to feel at ease, but then he immediately felt a chill run down his spine—the old man had been saying that his time was coming soon, and he had actually been right!
Su Ruyi clenched her fists, biting her lip and remaining silent.
Just then, Xiao Zhao came running up, panting: "General, it's done! This is Su Tiexin's identity document!"
Shen Guoliang took it and handed it to Su Tie.
Su Ruyi leaned closer to look and saw a new surname, a new given name, a new place of origin, and a new birthday.
This is a completely different person, but the photo with the stamp is indeed Su Tie himself.
Su Ruyi felt like crying.
Shen Guoliang patted Su Tie on the shoulder and handed him another piece of paper: "This is your background information. Memorize it as soon as possible and then burn it."
