Han Jingyuan's punch was very powerful. Qu Liang wiped his torn jaw with his fist and sneered.
"It's only the beginning, and you're already feeling overwhelmed. If you keep going like this, I don't need to say anything more."
Countless complicated emotions spread from the bottom of my heart, my heart was about to break, and my head was splitting with pain.
What did he forget?
Han Jingyuan threw Qu Liang away and said, "What did I forget? Do you remember it?"
Qu Liang obviously didn't want to talk about this topic. "Let's continue with the story. You didn't even have the patience to finish the story, so you won't understand the rest."
It is indeed difficult to find information about the Qu family's past few decades, including the turbulent late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China period. Qu Liang took the initiative to say that this might be the only way to obtain the information. Han Jingyuan resisted the urge to interrupt him.
Qu Liang said, "Let's go back to my grandfather. Xue Hongdong took over the business from my great-grandfather and started dealing with people from Taoyuan. He was a smooth talker. No matter how he flattered them, people from Taoyuan were very cautious and unwilling to talk about the situation in Taoyuan."
"The less he said, the more curious Xue Hongdong became. Every time the people from Taoyuan came, they would buy large quantities of food and fresh vegetables and fruits. They were generous and paid for everything with gold and silver. My grandfather couldn't understand why they bought these ubiquitous materials and never bargained for them. No matter where they shipped them to sell, they would not make much profit."
"Xue Hongdong asked my great-grandfather where the people of Taoyuan came from, where did they get so much gold and silver, and if they could do business like this without losing money?"
"My great-grandfather said that he didn't know the origins of the Taoyuan people. It was just that many years ago, two strangers took shelter under the eaves of my house. My great-grandfather vacated a room for them to stay for one night and prepared good wine and food for them. A month later, the strangers came again, claiming to be from Taoyuan. They wanted to do long-term business with my great-grandfather, so they made a list and asked my great-grandfather to prepare the goods. They also set a rule that after the goods were handed over, they were not allowed to ask where the goods went."
"This business started with my great-grandfather and has been passed down to Xue Hongdong. The people of Taoyuan have never changed their buyers. My great-grandfather said that he strictly abided by the confidentiality rules set by the people of Taoyuan. Otherwise, such a profitable and easy business would have been snatched away by other companies. Xue Hongdong didn't want to lose such a big customer, so he put aside his curiosity and behaved honestly. Over the years, doing business with Taoyuan has indeed allowed the Qu family to accumulate a lot of wealth."
"The tragedy happened the year my mother was born. My grandmother was pregnant. My great-grandfather and Xue Hongdong were very happy until my grandmother gave birth to twin girls."
"There has never been a precedent of twins in the Qu family. Xue Hongdong began to wonder, could it be that his bloodline has the gene for twins?"
"If there is, or even if he is a twin, then the Xue family still has blood in this world. He is no longer an orphan and there is hope for the family to be revitalized."
Qu Liang still hasn't figured it out. "Some men are really strange. Xue Hongdong went from being a farmhand who couldn't get married to the boss of the Qu family. Everything he had was given to him by my great-grandfather. But he wasn't thinking about his two newborn daughters, but about revitalizing the Xue family, whom he had never even met."
Han Jingyuan asked: "Since he is an orphan, how can you be so sure of his surname?"
"Oh, there is a brand on Xue Hongdong's back. The surname was engraved and burned red, and then branded on."
Han Jingyuan: ...Something terrible must have happened to Xue Hongdong's family, so his family left a mark on him so that they can recognize him in the future.
If he had brothers and sisters, they would also have marks on their bodies. Han Jingyuan could already guess that Xue Hongdong finally found other blood relatives of the Xue family.
…
Qu Liang continued, "My great-grandfather was old and his energy was not enough, so he handed over all the business to Xue Hongdong. Xue Hongdong had so much money and connections, so he started looking for relatives everywhere. However, the country is so big and the world is not peaceful. Finding blood relatives is like looking for a needle in a haystack. He spent a lot of money but didn't find any clues."
"The more I can't find it, the more I want to find it. I've reached the point where I can't eat or drink. People in Taoyuan have noticed this. One Taoyuan resident who has been doing business with Xue Hongdong for several years asked him, "You already have money, power, and even two children. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?"
"Xue Hongdong told him about his troubles, saying that no matter how successful he was, he couldn't recognize his ancestors and bring honor to his family. He would be ashamed to face his ancestors in the underworld after his death."
The people of Taoyuan laughed and did not agree with his idea. Perhaps out of curiosity, they wanted to see what changes would happen after Xue Hongdong found his blood relatives, so the people of Taoyuan agreed to help him find his relatives.
Han Jingyuan could hear the confidence of the Taoyuan people from Qu Liang's words. He was amazed and asked, "Why are they so confident that they can find your grandfather's blood relatives?"
Qu Liang said: "Maybe it's a god."
Han Jingyuan: "You are still in the mood to talk nonsense at this time."
Qu Liang laughed contemptuously, "But Xue Hongdong believed it, because the next day, the people from Taoyuan found clues about his two surviving blood brothers and sisters, and gave the addresses to the skeptical Xue Hongdong. Then the people from Taoyuan took the batch of supplies and left."
"Xue Hongdong was skeptical and didn't even care that my great-grandfather might die at any time. The first person he found was his brother, who was a few years older than Xue Hongdong. He remembered something when they parted. He said that the Xue family was originally a family of officials, but they ran into trouble and were raided. The head of the family asked several loyal servants to take the three children and flee. After settling down, he always wanted to find his younger brothers and sisters, but the rich young man fell from grace and had no ability to make money. He relied on the loyal servants to work for him. When Xue Hongdong went to find him, the loyal servant had been dead for more than a year. The brother, who was in his thirties, had fallen to begging on the street. The two brothers hugged each other and cried bitterly."
Han Jingyuan was completely speechless, "Aren't you afraid that your family will be disturbed if you find such a piece of trash?"
Qu Liang sneered, "It is the Qu family that is declining, but his Xue family is thriving."
"Xue Hongdong and his brother went to look for his sister. The loyal servant who took his sister away sold his sister to a human trafficker when he was starving. The human trafficker then sold his sister to a brothel. When they found her, the sister had just given birth to a son. The child's biological father had no idea who the benefactor was."
With a strange light flashing in his eyes, Qu Liang asked Han Jingyuan, "Guess how this pair of brothers treat their own sister?"
According to normal people's calculations, since Xue Hongdong is so rich, he would naturally redeem his sister. But seeing Qu Liang's crazy look, Han Jingyuan became unsure.
Qu Liang said, "You wouldn't have guessed it anyway. The Xue Hongdong brothers thought their sister was living in a brothel, which was too dirty and a disgrace to the family. In the future, the Xue family would rebuild the ancestral hall and bring honor to the family. Such a tainted descendant would not be qualified to be included in the family tree. They thought they were very kind and told their sister that as long as she committed suicide, they would take her son away and make up a perfect mother for the child. They would make her name appear in the family tree in the future and let her son live a rich and prosperous life. They would never let him know that his biological mother had such a terrible experience."
Han Jingyuan almost gnashed his teeth, "Your grandfather and his brothers are really beasts. Even if they want to hide their experience, they don't need to force their own sister to die."
Qu Liang laughed so hard that his palms were broken.
"Who says it's not true? But when they saw my sister, they thought she was dirty. What can I do if they don't want to bring her back? These things happened before I was born. They are not enough to make me hate them enough to send them to jail."
…
"According to the previous agreement, the older twin daughters took my grandmother's surname Qu, and the younger sister took Xue. Now, Xue Hongdong has a blood relative, and his bloodline has been continued. He has started to think about other things."
"He found that the appearance of the people from Taoyuan had hardly changed over the years he had been doing business with them. So he forgot his great-grandfather's advice and asked the Taoyuan people who helped him find his brother and sister if they were immortals, asking for a panacea that could keep him young forever."
The people in Taoyuan laughed again. This time they were really interested in Xue Hongdong. They told him that there was indeed medicine, but it was very expensive and they were afraid that my grandfather could not afford it.
Han Jingyuan thought for a moment, "Xue Hongdong is already so rich, and as long as Taoyuan people's business continues, any money spent can be earned back. What Taoyuan people are asking for should not be money, right?"
After all, every settlement is made in gold and silver. The people of Taoyuan cannot be short of money. What they lack is something else.
Qu Liang looked at Han Jingyuan. This guy was really clear-headed.
He said, "What the Taoyuan people asked my grandfather for was one of the twins."
Han Jingyuan was surprised. "Why? If they just wanted a baby, they could buy one for a few taels of silver in that chaotic world. Why would they want the family of a business partner?"
Qu Liang said, "Because the Taoyuan people want to do a test, they have been dealing with the Xue family for decades, and they want to choose candidates from the family they can control."
"After all, she is a newborn daughter. Xue Hongdong was a little hesitant, so he asked what kind of place Taoyuan is, and whether the people there can really live forever?"
"The Taoyuan people did not answer his question. Instead, they gave Xue Hongdong a medicine whose material could not be identified. It looked like some kind of diamond-shaped crystal stone. Its color was indescribably beautiful and more precious than gemstones. In addition to this special medicine, there was also a box of meat from an unknown animal."
"The people of Taoyuan said that the special medicine can delay aging and make people smarter. The meat is also good. Although it tastes bad, it can strengthen the body and improve health. It is more effective than any tonic. The special medicine can last for a month, and the meat can be eaten for a month. They gave Xue Hongdong a month to consider."
"Xue Hongdong took the crystal-shaped special medicine with some doubts. That night, he felt his mind was sharper. He used to use an abacus to calculate accounts, but now he could do mental arithmetic smoothly. The meat was extremely unpalatable, even the dogs were too lazy to eat it. Xue Hongdong gritted his teeth and ate one meal a day. After only a few days, the meat had an effect on his body."
"Xue Hongdong felt full of energy. He kept two courtesans and had sex with them until midnight, but he still felt unsatisfied. When he was riding a rickshaw home late at night, he encountered a robber. He punched the robber so hard that he vomited blood."
"Xue Hongdong was overjoyed, but after a month, the Taoyuan people didn't come. The effects of the special medicine and meat gradually faded. By the second month, the effect of the medicine had completely disappeared. Xue Hongdong was extremely anxious and eager for the Taoyuan people to give him medicine again. However, although they had cooperated for decades, he didn't even have any clues about the Taoyuan people. He had no idea how to find them. He was so worried that he couldn't eat or drink."
"In the third month, the Taoyuan people finally showed up. After giving the order, they asked Xue Hongdong what he thought."
"At this time, let alone asking for a child, even asking for his wife, he would agree without hesitation. However, he was cautious and asked the Taoyuan people why they wanted to separate the twins. What kind of tests were they going to do?"
"The people of Taoyuan did not hide the truth from him. They said that people from Taoyuan cannot stay here for a long time, and people brought from here to Taoyuan will die within a month. So they want to do an experiment and bring a newborn baby over to see how long it can last if it is raised with crystals from an early age."
"Also, this crystal has another function. It can strengthen the telepathy between twins. Bringing one of the twins over is also to test whether the twins can still sense each other after being separated by time and space."
…
Only then did Han Jingyuan understand that the people of Taoyuan that Qu Liang mentioned were not from this world at all. No wonder he had always wanted to mislead him and subtly make him believe that Taoyuan was a fairyland in mythology.
Han Jingyuan asked, "The Taoyuan people who do business with your family, aren't they from a parallel world?"
Now it was Qu Liang's turn to be surprised. "I've hinted so clearly, why didn't your first reaction come from a god or an alien race?"
Han Jingyuan: "Where do these immortal worlds, demon worlds, and devil worlds come from? Did you take their special medicine and become brain-dead? If there really are immortals and devils, how could this history of thousands of years have waited for your family to discover it?"
Qu Liang was choked and couldn't say anything to refute. He muttered, "Normal people can't think of parallel worlds."
Han Jingyuan calmly explained, "Oh, my wife's ex-husband is a great scientist who studied abroad and has a wide range of knowledge. He picks up a few children every week and they like to listen to him talk about scientific knowledge. After listening, he comes back and shows off to me about parallel universe theory, quantum theory, black holes, and the Big Bang. It makes my wife's ex-husband seem very knowledgeable, while I am like an illiterate and deserve a beating."
"So, in order to have more topics to talk about with the children, I consulted some professors who were sent to the farm in South Island and bought some books to read. Combining scientific analysis with what you said, it is more like people from another time and space in a parallel world came here, rather than some superstitious fairyland. If they are really gods and monsters, do they need to use you as a middleman to buy food? Do you think gods eat whole grains?"
Qu Liang was speechless. "If Xue Hongdong thought like you, there wouldn't be so many troubles later."
Han Jingyuan just got a clue and urged: "Go on."
"My mother and my aunt were only three months old at that time. Xue Hongdong gave Qu's daughter to someone in Taoyuan to take back and told my grandmother and great-grandfather that one of the twins was missing. My great-grandfather guessed that Xue Hongdong was responsible and was so angry that he died. My grandmother also couldn't accept the blow of losing one of the twins and died of illness."
"Now, no one can control Xue Hongdong anymore. He changed the name of Qu's Rice Shop to Xue's Rice Shop and started feeding my mother crystals."
Han Jingyuan didn't expect that Qu Liang's grandfather was so shameless that he sent Qu's daughter away and left Xue's daughter behind. He also completely occupied the Qu family rice shop and didn't leave any bloodline for the family.
So Qu Liang changed his surname to his aunt's.
Although he was angry, Han Jingyuan did not interrupt the conversation and let Qu Liang continue.
…
Qu Liang said, "The people from Taoyuan come here about once every two or three months. Each time they come, they leave six special medicines and a large box of unknown animal meat. They told Xue Hongdong that my mother must take the special medicine regularly. When they come next time, they can distribute the extra crystals as they wish."
"That box of meat is a reward for Xue Hongdong's cooperation in the experiment. It is for him to take to strengthen his physique. He does not need to take it every day. Taking it once a week will achieve the effect of strengthening the body. After Xue Hongdong took it regularly, he did not even catch a cold. He would sweat profusely even in winter when he went out wearing a padded jacket. Within a year, he married three concubines."
Han Jingyuan didn't care about how good Xue Hongdong's physical strength was. Things that stimulated potential would definitely have side effects after they were discontinued.
He was concerned about the twins, Qu Liang's mother and aunt.
He asked, "What happened later? Did your mother and aunt really develop a telepathic connection?"
Qu Liang nodded. "About five or six years later, my mother could dream about what my aunt had experienced. Similarly, my aunt should also be able to dream about my mother's experiences. The people in Taoyuan have also acknowledged this."
Han Jingyuan: "Five or six years later, their experiment was successful, and your aunt went there and was supported by them..."
Qu Liang was silent for a while and then turned the topic back to the Xue family.
"More than a decade later, my mother still found a son-in-law, but this time the child had the surname Xue. I was also a twin. As soon as I was born, my eldest brother was taken away by the people of Taoyuan. My mother couldn't accept it, so she secretly stopped taking the medicine to resist Xue Hongdong."
"The side effects after stopping the medication were very serious. My mother had hallucinations for a while, and she always regarded my aunt's experiences in the dream as her own. She always said that she was locked up in the room since she was a child and was not allowed to leave. She wanted to see the outside world. Then my mother always sneaked out again and again. Xue Hongdong had to lock the gate of the courtyard and only allowed my mother to move around at home."
"One night when it was thundering and raining, my mother woke up from the thunder and screamed that a monster was chasing her. She climbed onto the roof, lost her footing and fell off the ridge. Until the funeral, the neighbors talked about her as a lunatic and a psychopath."
Qu Liang was already five or six years old at that time. He clearly remembered that his mother was not yet dead when she fell.
"I knelt in the heavy rain, trying to pull my mother up, but I was too weak and her arms slipped from my hands again and again. She kept saying something to me. I leaned over to her ear and listened several times before I could hear clearly. She warned me, saying, 'Don't take medicine, don't take medicine, don't take the medicine they give you...' But unfortunately, I have been taking medicine since I was born. I didn't understand it when I was young, but when I was a little older, I realized that the nightmares I had since childhood were the experiences of my other brother in another world."
"You know, they didn't send her to the hospital. My mother lay in the rain for more than an hour before she died. Xue Hongdong just said disappointedly on the night of the funeral, 'What a useless thing.'"
"In his eyes, my mother and I are nothing more than things that can be used. Xue Hongdong is crazy about wanting to live forever. He is so selfish that he only has himself in his eyes."
Qu Liang's eyes were red. "Now you know why I must send Xue Hongdong's family to prison. Death is too easy for them. With such a secret, they will only be locked up in a place with strict guards, and even ordinary prisoners can't contact them. This is what they deserve."
…
Qu Liang's experience is indeed not something that ordinary people can endure. Xue Hongdong has lost all humanity.
Han Jingyuan apologized, "I'm sorry to remind you of unpleasant experiences, but I still want to ask, why were you at the scenes where the photos were taken?"
Qu Liang had a complicated expression. "I became more and more rebellious as I grew older, and gradually stopped taking the medication. The side effects were really uncomfortable, and I became mentally confused. I often had some very bizarre dreams. At first I always thought that these were all my brother's experiences in a parallel world."
"About six years ago, I dreamed that a girl fell into a lake and was rescued by a man. He also gave her artificial respiration. I thought it might be something my brother saw in a parallel world, so I didn't pay much attention to it."
Han Jingyuan couldn't stop shaking when he heard this. If his guess was correct, Qu Liang saw what was recorded in the first photo, the memory he had forgotten.
Sure enough, Qu Liang looked at Han Jing with an indescribable expression.
"One day I was walking on the street and I actually saw the man who saved the girl in my dream. Don't stare at me like that. Yes, it was you. I was scared at that time too, okay!"
"But I didn't know the exact time. I only knew that the sun was right on top of the tree and all the shadows were very short, which meant it was close to noon. So, I followed you secretly... Don't look at me like that. Don't you see that I'm normal? I've been taking some special medicine since I was a child, so my five senses are much stronger than those of normal people. I followed you from a long distance, all the way to the hidden lake in the valley where you were in a daze."
"After that, I would bring my camera and wait there every day to see if the things in my dream would happen. I waited for about half a month, and then you went to the mountain again."
"I thought something was going to happen today, and sure enough, after you stayed there for a few hours and walked a dozen meters, the originally calm lake suddenly began to churn. Although you couldn't figure out how someone fell in, you still jumped in to save them without hesitation."
"I took this photo when you pulled the person out of the water and gave him artificial respiration, but I didn't tell Xue Hongdong about it at the time. Later, based on the prompts in my dreams, I took more than a dozen photos over the years. You only appeared in the photos twice, once when you saved her, and the other time when she saved you."
"Then I realized that what I had been dreaming about was what was going to happen to that girl, and you just happened to appear."
"Originally, this matter could have been kept secret, but more than three years ago, you suddenly disappeared. I saw the girl in the photo wandering around the place where you were imprisoned in my dream. I tried many ways to test Xue Hongdong, but found that he didn't know anything at all. I could only secretly check it myself, and then I found out that you lost contact during the mission."
Han Jingyuan finally managed to control his emotions. "You already know that the girl in the photo is from that world. She appeared in the place where I was imprisoned, and I lost contact here. I couldn't find her no matter what. You suspected that someone took me to a parallel world. Isn't this too unbelievable?"
Qu Liang was very annoyed. "Don't ask me questions. I didn't know what happened until I dreamed of that girl again. Soon I would come here again, and this time, I came here without your help."
"I waited there in advance for several days, and sure enough, I saw her again. This time, she looked really sad. When she left, she even wiped the blood off your face."
"Then the girl walked back along the way she came and disappeared into the darkness. Just when I was completely stunned and confused, Xue Hongdong and his men arrived."
"No one had come to Taoyuan for half a year. He was getting anxious, but he still lied to his own grandson. Xue Hongdong took the photos he had found in my room, put a knife to Xue Jinyun's neck, and threatened that if I didn't tell the truth, he would cut my sister into pieces and feed them to the dogs."
Han Jingyuan didn't even have time to think about why he was imprisoned in Taoyuan, or what happened after he was carried back?
He couldn't believe it: "...I don't believe it. Can he really do such a heartless thing?"
Qu Liang's face was numb. "I don't know, because I compromised that day. After I compromised, I found out that it was Xue Jinyun who found the photo and reported it to me. She later admitted to me that it was a self-torture trick she and my grandfather performed together."
From then on, Qu Liang stopped taking medicine, changed his surname to Qu, and became a forest ranger, fantasizing that one day the girl would come out of the lake where she first appeared.
…
Qu Liang said: "Han Jingyuan, after listening to such a long story, have you remembered anything? Have you guessed where the girl in the photo is? Tell me, we need to exchange information."
Han Jingyuan said with a straight face, "Have some shame. Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you. You told your grandfather that there was an important clue. I suspect you have already figured out the whereabouts of that girl. Why don't you tell me first?"
Qu Liang knew that Han Jingyuan was difficult to deal with. He said, "That was a lie to them. Xue Hongdong has always believed that if he finds that girl, he can go to Taoyuan and enjoy immortality. If I didn't lie to them, how could I get those old guys together?"
"Tonight, everyone who knows about Taoyuan's situation will go to Xue Hongdong's ward for a meeting. Hurry up and prepare the recording equipment to record their conversation, and then collect evidence to arrest those old guys."
Han Jingyuan: "Aren't you afraid that if it involves another world, you will be arrested as well?"
Qu Liang didn't care at all. "I cooperated with you guys as an undercover agent to make meritorious contributions. Besides, I am a victim. Apart from taking medicine and dreaming, I didn't do anything bad. What am I afraid of? Once we find the girl and find a way to open the door, maybe we can fight back to Taoyuan and catch them off guard."
Han Jingyuan: "You're overthinking it. If it's so easy to go back and forth, why do people from Taoyuan only come here every two or three months to transport supplies? There must be some restrictions. Didn't you say it yourself? They haven't been here for three years."
The two had been chatting for an hour or so, and the person outside the box seemed impatient and knocked on the door very cautiously.
Qu Liang threw the tea bowl in his hand over, and with a loud 'clang', it fell to the ground and shattered into powder.
It was quiet outside.
Han Jingyuan said coldly: "Your grandfather is the head of the family now, is your attitude really okay?"
Qu Liang: "If I don't act a little bit insane, they will be wary of me."
"Okay, go out and find a detour to get rid of them, then go back to your territory and get ready. You must be at the hospital before 6:50. I will buy you ten minutes to clear the ward. Go in and hide in advance. You can hear more inside information from Xue Hongdong and the others tonight than I do."
Han Jingyuan looked at his watch. It was already 6:05. He cursed softly, "There are only 45 minutes left. We have to hurry, report, and make a plan. You did this on purpose."
Qu Liang smiled unabashedly, "I've been unhappy with you for a long time, and I did it on purpose."
Han Jingyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll be there on time at 6:50. Tell me, where can I hide by then?"
Qu Liang looked down on him, "Hide wherever you can. If you can't, just hide in the ventilation duct."
…
Su Ying has already arrived at the hospital morgue, a place not many people would come to.
Wen Yan said, "Sister Ying, I am not qualified to attend the meeting tonight. I will meet you outside the hospital."
Su Ying said, "You should go back, otherwise it would be hard to explain if someone saw you."
Wen Yan was a little worried, but Su Ying said it was okay. If something really happened, someone like Wen Yan who had no special abilities would be a burden if he stayed here, and it would also affect her speed of escape.
Wen Yan: …
He hesitated, "Sister Ying, I always feel that you are hiding something from yourself. In fact, I heard some rumors in the other world..."
Su Ying narrowed her eyes as she smiled, "What did you hear?"
Wen Yan shuddered, fearing that Su Ying would wipe out his memory in the next second. "No, nothing, well, I'll leave first and wait for you at home."
After waiting for a few minutes, Xie Qinghe's mother Xie Feicui hurried over with a cloth bag. She was a doctor in the hospital, and the bag contained a nurse's uniform.
Without even having time to exchange pleasantries, she opened her bag and said, "Hurry up and change into this nurse's uniform. I'll take you to Xue Hongdong's ward."
Su Ying thanked him while changing her clothes quickly, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"I'm telling you, I've noticed a long time ago that the patient surnamed Xue is strange. If you say you're investigating the case, I will definitely help you."
She checked the time, it was 6:50, "Mr. Xue has been taken to get checked by his grandson. I'll help you keep an eye on him. There could be someone hiding in the closet, so hide in the closet."
"Okay, hold on tight then."
Su Ying had already changed her clothes, combed her hair the same as a hospital nurse, and put on a mask and a nurse's cap. Even if Han Jingyuan stood in front of her at this moment, he probably wouldn't recognize her.
Their attire as doctors and nurses did not attract anyone's attention along the way.
As expected, there was no one in the ward. Su Ying opened the closet and was startled by the Republic of China-style jacket inside. She paused for a few seconds, then hid inside and closed the closet door.
After a while, there were slight footsteps.
Su Ying held her breath, not daring to breathe, for fear of alarming the person who was coming.
