There is a row of diagonal wooden blinds on the upper part of the wardrobe, so you can see the cut-off external space from the inside, but you cannot see inside the wardrobe from the outside.
Su Ying saw the man's face broken by the partition and lowered her eyes. There was no need to look a second time.
The seemingly gentle and harmless man in the other world, when the captain asked him what his name was, he said his name was "Qu Liang".
What you see now is his brother in this world. They have exactly the same face.
Qu Liang looked back at the white painted wardrobe door. Su Ying was so scared that she leaned her back against the cabinet board, fearing that he would open the door the next moment. She was so scared that she dared not breathe.
Xie Feicui said that when Xue Hongdong was in the hospital, he hated this wardrobe, saying it looked like a coffin, but coffins should be painted black.
No one dared to raise any objections, and even after changing several single rooms, Xue Hongdong was still not satisfied. Finally, he chose a suite on the east side and asked someone to put a set of black clothes in the closet to replace him.
No one would open this wardrobe in front of Xue Hongdong.
But it's hard to say now. Xue Hongdong has gone for a check-up and is not in the ward at the moment. Su Ying didn't expect that his filial son and grandson would come back alone.
Just when Su Ying was getting extremely nervous, there were a few light knocks outside the glass on the outer wall.
She couldn't see the person outside the window from this angle, but the single suites were all on the top floor, and this was a sixth-floor inpatient ward... Did the person climb up to the sixth floor, or fall down from the roof?
Qu Liang finally withdrew his gaze from the wardrobe. He had been taking special medicine since he was a child, and his five senses were different from those of ordinary people. As soon as he entered the room, he discovered a slight breathing in the wardrobe.
He walked quickly to the window, opened the window lock, and Han Jingyuan climbed up to the windowsill and jumped in nimbly.
Qu Liang stuck his head out and looked around. Han Jingyuan came down from the roof without using a rope. He was quite skilled. It was night time and no one paid attention to the outer wall of the inpatient department, so he closed the window.
Han Jingyuan took advantage of the few minutes of time left to ask Qu Liang:
"There are quite a few patients on this floor. Xue Hongdong chose to hold such a confidential meeting in the ward. Isn't he afraid that people in the adjacent wards might overhear him? And with so many people coming at once, won't it attract attention?"
Qu Liang didn't dare to laugh out loud, he could only hold it in, and his whole body was shaking.
"The wards next door to each other were all occupied by the Xue family. During the half month that Xue Hongdong was hospitalized, all the people who moved in next door were his relatives with the surname Xue."
Han Jingyuan: "...This is a hospital. It's impossible for everyone to pretend to be sick. They can't all be sick!"
Qu Liang said sarcastically, "These people in the hospital are the core members of the Xue family. They have all eaten meat and special medicines. They have been cut off from Taoyuan for three years. Xue Hongdong has little stock left. From one pill a month, to one pill every three months, and then to one pill every six months, they have started to backfire. They are frequent patients in this hospital and are not surprising."
Qu Liang glanced at the white wardrobe and smiled, "Not taking medicine on time will cause different side effects for everyone. For example, I can dream about what will happen to the girl in the photo in the future. But I haven't dreamed about it for a long time. I'm really worried that something will happen to that girl."
"Xue Hongdong has a problem with color perception. He sees white as black and black as white. He insists that this closet is black and looks like a coffin. So, don't climb into the ventilation duct. Just hide in the closet. No one will open this closet in front of Xue Hongdong."
Su Ying was startled by Han Jingyuan's arrival in the closet: ...
Before Su Ying could think of a proper response, a pair of large hands opened the closet door the next second. Their eyes met, and both the people inside and outside the closet felt quite awkward.
…
Han Jingyuan suddenly saw that his wife had hidden in the closet before him. After being shocked, he reacted very quickly. He only opened the closet door halfway, blocked Qu Liang's sight with his body, and squeezed into the closet, taking up all the space in the closet, and closed the door.
The curved beam outside: ...
Shit, could it be Han Jingyuan’s wife inside? That’s why he didn’t scream out and then couldn’t wait to squeeze in?
Qu Liang knocked on the wardrobe, signaling Han Jingyuan to get ready, then closed the door and left.
The closet was small, and Su Ying was almost face to face with the man. She could only bite the bullet and say hello, "What a coincidence, are you here to look for clues too?"
Han Jingyuan: "Didn't you say you would sleep at Su Xinyi's house tonight?"
Su Ying: "You said there is a mission for me if I don't come back. Is that the mission to hide in the closet? I am a non-staff member after all. Why don't you tell me the truth?"
Han Jingyuan apologized. "First, I hadn't reported to the political commissar when we parted. Second, Qu Liang came to me suddenly. By the time I reported to the leader urgently, it was too late to inform you."
Su Ying didn't know how much secrets of the Xue family that idiot Qu Liang had told Han Jingyuan.
He was able to work together inside and outside to create an opportunity for Han Jingyuan to hide in the closet and listen to the Xue family's secret meeting. He should have told Han Jingyuan everything about the deal between the Xue family and the Taoyuan people.
If Qu Lianglian had told her that he was a twin and one of them was taken to Taoyuan, there would be no need for her to erase Xue Hongdong and the others' memories about Taoyuan.
Su Ying reached into Han Jingyuan's trouser pocket to look for something. Han Jingyuan froze and asked in a hoarse voice, "What the hell are you doing..."
Su Ying said, "Something is blocking me. Let me see what it is."
Han Jingyuan: ...
Then Su Ying took out the gorgeous crystal core from his pocket. She had just sensed the energy field of the mutant beast crystal core on Han Jingyuan's body.
You can still see a little clearly in the dim closet. This is a level one mutant beast crystal core, the lowest grade. The best is level nine. Taoyuan probably wouldn't be willing to give the good ones to the Xue family. Even if they did, their bodies probably wouldn't be able to bear it.
Su Ying asked: "Where did this come from?"
Han Jingyuan whispered in her ear: "Qu Liang gave it to me. He said it was a special medicine given by the Taoyuan people. I forgot some of my memories. He said that if I take this medicine, my memory will be restored."
Su Ying: "...You don't believe it, do you? Look at the Xue family members who are hospitalized one by one, all of them are suffering from the sequelae of taking medicine. Do you want to die?"
Han Jingyuan: "I'm not planning on eating...Shh, someone's coming."
Su Ying also heard the footsteps, and the two of them immediately fell silent and held their breath.
Through the slanted grille of the wardrobe, it can be seen that there are five people coming in. Su Ying has seen the photos from Wen Yan, and Han Jingyuan has also identified the identities of several people outside from the photos provided by Qu Liang.
The old man in his seventies who was pushed in in a wheelchair was Xue Hongdong. The person pushing the wheelchair was a middle-aged woman in her forties. Wen Yan said he didn't know her last name. Everyone in the family called her Huigu. She came to the Xue family as a servant when she was a teenager. She saved Xue Hongdong and was very trusted by him.
The youngest is Xue Jinyun, who is just in her early twenties. She can attend such a family meeting, which means she is at least more loved by Xue Hongdong than Qu Liang.
The remaining man and woman were both middle-aged people in their forties. The man was Xue Hongdong's nephew, the son of his sister whom he brought back, and the woman was the daughter of Xue Hongdong's eldest brother, Xue Hongdong's niece.
These five people are currently the core figures in the Xue family who know the inside story of Taoyuan.
Originally, Su Ying only needed to erase the five of them's memories of Utopia, and everything would be fine, and then she could return to South Island and continue her life.
But now Qu Liang had told Han Jingyuan everything he knew, so there was no need for her to do anything more.
…
Xue Quanhai glanced at the Xue family's nanny warily and said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle, how could you let a nanny attend such an important meeting?"
Xue Hongdong's old voice revealed a sense of weakness and decay.
He said: "Hui Gu is like my daughter. She has been in charge of the distribution of special medicines and special meat over the years, without any mistakes. She would rather not get married and stay at home to take care of me. If she is not qualified..."
Xue Hongdong looked around at the Xue family bloodline present and said, "Then none of you are qualified."
Xue Quanhai muttered, "But her last name is not Xue, and she is not a member of the Xue family. It is hard to trust her."
Xue Yamei quickly changed the subject, "Huigu should know best. We don't have much medicine and meat left. When will Taoyuan open the door and send people?"
Xue Hongdong coughed a few times. Huigu patted his back a few times, then poured him a cup of warm water, took out a small sandalwood box, took out a crystal-shaped medicine, and gave it to Xue Hongdong to take.
Then he opened the thermos and poured out a bowl of broth, which Xue Hongdong ate slowly.
No one dared to speak during the whole process.
Xue Quanhai waited until Xue Hongdong finished eating the meat before he complained in a low voice, "Uncle, it's not time yet, why did you take the medicine and meat in advance?"
Xue Hongdong seemed to have regained some strength and said, "Because there are important matters that require energy to deal with, let Huigu tell you."
Everyone had different expressions. Hui Gu actually knew in advance about something so important that it required medicine to deal with. Even Xue Yamei, who had a good relationship with Hui Gu, had a serious expression.
No matter what expressions or attitudes these people have, Huigu always has a blank expression on her face, and it is impossible to tell her emotions.
It seems that the only person she is loyal to is Xue Hongdong, the head of the family.
Huigu said: "Based on what Qu Liang saw in his dream about his brother's experience, we can confirm that the girl in the photo has indeed come to our side."
The Xue family had already guessed this news. Xue Quanhai said dissatisfiedly: "What's the use of knowing? We have tried many ways and can't find her."
He began to propose the plan that he insisted on but was rejected.
"That girl risked her life to open the door at Taoyuan and carried him back. She cares so much about Han. Why don't we just tie up Han and force her out?"
As soon as they talked about the girl in the photo, Su Ying felt that the man next to her was trying hard to restrain himself.
At this moment, he was still clenching the crystal in his palm. Su Ying opened his palm and confiscated the crystal to prevent him from losing control and eating it.
Han Jingyuan felt guilty and wrote three words on Su Ying's palm, "I love you". Su Ying lowered her head and couldn't help laughing.
…
The conversation outside continued.
Xue Hongdong rejected this plan again, "Han Jingyuan has a special identity, do you want to kill the Xue family?"
Xue Quanhai said: "What are you afraid of? Anyway, we plan to go to Taoyuan to live a fairy-like life after the door is opened."
Xue Hongdong felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have been soft-hearted and brought his sister's son back. As expected, a bastard is a bastard and is of no use.
At this time, Huigu said, "I have cracked the code of Qu Liang's dream. Now we just need to follow the instructions from Taoyuan. Don't act on your own and create unnecessary trouble."
"What message?"
"Taoyuan has found a way to open the door again, but this time they can only send one person. They found the adoptive mother of the girl in the photo, and the date and location of the opening have been determined. Once we have her adoptive mother in hand, I think she will come to us on her own initiative."
"She's just a foster mother. Is she really willing to come out?" Xue Quanhai didn't believe it.
Huigu said: "The people of Taoyuan said that she will definitely come out. Don't you believe them?"
Those present had a blind admiration for the people of Taoyuan, and if they said it was okay, then it must be okay.
Xue Quanhai couldn't wait, "I really want to know what the adoptive mother of the girl in the photo looks like."
Huigu's expression was numb. "We all have one nose and two eyes. There's nothing special about it."
Han Jingyuan had heard Qu Liang describe that the people in Taoyuan had very weak family affection, but the girl in the photo saved him, which showed that her adoptive mother had taught her the concept of family affection since she was a child.
She must be a kind and gentle woman, right?
Han Jingyuan lowered his head because of a sudden pain in his arm. Su Ying buried her head in his shoulder. She didn't seem to realize that she was pinching his arm.
Han Jingyuan sighed silently, put his arms around her, held her in his arms, kissed the top of his wife's head, and Su Ying snuggled into his arms.
…
Xue Hongdong was very cautious and said that the time and place would be decided on the day of departure, and Huigu would personally lead the team to the designated location to pick people up.
Xue Quanhai smiled proudly, "Qu Liang must not know that the dreams he fed back to us were all embedded with encrypted information."
Xue Yamei hesitated and said, "Second Uncle, are we really going to hide this from even Qu Liang? After all, he is your grandson."
Xue Quanhai became anxious and blamed Xue Yamei for causing trouble.
"Qu Liang is a traitor. He can't be trusted. Otherwise, my uncle wouldn't have stopped him from attending today's meeting."
…
There was a noise outside for a while, but it stopped.
When Su Ying was worrying about how to get out, the medicine and meat that Xue Hongdong had taken started to take effect. His mental state improved a lot and he said he would be discharged from the hospital in the evening.
He also promised to give them meat and special medicine before picking up the people sent out by the Taoyuan people.
Xue Hongdong is going to be discharged from the hospital, which means this ward will be empty, and Su Ying and Han Jingyuan will have a chance to go out.
Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they heard Xue Jinyun say, "Grandpa, there are still clothes in the closet. Let me open the closet and take them down."
She didn't dare to open the cabinet door directly and had to ask Xue Hongdong for permission.
After taking the medicine, Xue Hongdong's perception of colors had recovered a little. He remained silent, and after seeing that it was a white wardrobe, he neither agreed nor objected.
Xue Jinyun walked towards the closet.
Su Ying became nervous and had already made a decision in her heart. If she was discovered, all the Xue family members in the house would be implicated.
Then he used his special powers to dig out the time and place of picking up people from Xue Hongdong's mind!
At this time, the expressionless Huigu suddenly said, "The clothes in the closet are to replace funeral clothes. Don't bring unlucky things home."
After saying that, without waiting for Xue Jinyun's reaction, he pushed Xue Hongdong out.
Xue Jinyun didn't care about the "funeral clothes" in the closet and hurriedly chased after him.
Only Xue Hongdong's nephew and niece were left in the ward. They looked at each other and both disliked each other.
Xue Quanhai always feels superior to Xue Yamei because he is a boy, but Xue Yamei has heard about Xue Quanhai's life experience from her father and looks down on him as a bastard who was picked up.
Especially now that Xue Quanhai was questioning her, "Why did you want to destroy my stage just now? As a woman, do you still want to take over the family business?"
In fact, Xue Quanhai didn't want to go to Taoyuan. He wanted to wait until Xue Hongdong and others went to Taoyuan to settle down, and then the Xue family's house and property would be his.
Xue Yamei had the same goal in mind as Xue Quanhai, "Don't make a mistake, my last name is Xue, you are from a different family, even if you change your last name, you are still from a different family."
"Bullshit, I was raised by my uncle, so of course his family business should be passed on to me."
Xue Yamei sneered: "Qu Liang is not dead yet. He is the second uncle's legitimate grandson."
Xue Quanhai sneered, "He's not even named Xue anymore. I advise you not to bet on the wrong horse. If you support me now, you can still get some soup in the future."
…
The two idiots outside finally left after making a lot of noise. Su Ying and Han Jingyuan came out of the closet. Afraid that someone would come, Su Ying told Han Jingyuan to leave quickly.
"You still go through the window?"
Han Jingyuan nodded, "What about you?"
Su Ying pointed at her nurse uniform and said, "Of course I'll go through the main door. Hurry up, I still have to close the windows. Qu Liang, who only cares about killing and not burying, won't come back to clean up the mess."
Han Jingyuan: "Isn't it possible?"
Su Ying: "If he was a cautious person, would he let his sister search the photos out of the room? Would he let Wen Yan steal the photos from his forest ranger's house? Would he let Taoyuan and the Xue family use encrypted information to trick them until now? You don't still have illusions about those idiots, do you?"
Han Jingyuan: ...After several questions, he was speechless.
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside the hospital."
"Okay, walk a little further away and wait at the next platform."
After Han Jingyuan left, Su Ying closed the window, walked down the stairs to another floor, then went to find Xie Feicui to return the clothes, and left the hospital to find Han Jingyuan.
When she arrived, Han Jingyuan was already waiting for him on the platform. When Su Ying was in the closet, she felt the recorder in his pocket, which was only available in the army, and asked, "Did you record everything?"
Han Jingyuan said he checked it on the way, "It's quite clear."
"Political Commissar Xu is still in South Island, right? What should we do now?" Su Ying asked.
Han Jingyuan said that Xu Yuezhou had already left for Beijing City, and the work here was temporarily handed over to Ji Pingliang. "A special team has been set up temporarily, and Political Commissar Ji is in charge of the work. Come with me to the temporary command center."
Su Ying had no choice but to go. She had no reason not to go. When she got on the bus, she realized she had no money in her pocket. Han Jingyuan smiled and spent six cents to buy two tickets for the last bus.
…
When Han Jingyuan was reporting to Political Commissar Ji, Su Ying remained silent. Ji Pingliang thought that Su Ying had a problem with him because of Qiao Jiuxiang.
Su Ying saved his eldest son, and let Chuanbai live with her four children in South Island for almost half a year. When he came back for the Chinese New Year, Chuanbai was much more cheerful. He entered junior high school at the beginning of the year. Although some of his classmates would make fun of his age, Chuanbai would crush them with his grades.
If it weren't for Su Ying, he might never have found his son.
Ji Pingliang felt both grateful and guilty towards Su Ying, and would never let his wife do anything to cause trouble for Su Ying again.
He asked in a friendly manner: "Comrade Xiao Su, do you have any suggestions or requirements for this mission? As long as you raise any, I will apply to the higher authorities and try my best to meet your requirements."
Su Ying came back to her senses and said hurriedly, "Thank you, organization. I have everything now. I don't have any requests. I just want to ask, this case is different from the previous ones. After all, our opponents are not ordinary people. If there is an emergency and we lose contact with the organization, can we respond flexibly?"
Ji Pingliang said: "If there is a loss of contact, you will have to respond flexibly."
Su Ying nodded, "Okay, then I understand."
Han Jingyuan and Political Commissar Ji were working out the next plan while Su Ying was dozing off on the side, so she simply lay down on the table to rest.
Ji Pingliang saw that Su Ying was in a bad mood tonight, which was in stark contrast to her previous positive attitude. He lowered his voice and asked Han Jingyuan, "People from the parallel world are involved. Your wife must be scared, right?"
Han Jingyuan: "...Maybe she just thinks it's troublesome."
Su Ying heard it but was too lazy to respond, so she just let them think she was asleep.
…
They discussed too late, and Su Yingzhen fell asleep. When she was woken up by Han Jingyuan, it was already dawn.
Han Jingyuan bought breakfast and came back, "Aying, eat breakfast and go back to the guesthouse to sleep."
Su Ying ate a steamed bun and drank soy milk, and asked, "Have you discussed everything?"
Han Jingyuan said, "How can it be over? I'll take you back to the guesthouse to rest first, and then I'll go find that idiot Qu Liang."
"What should we do with the Xue family?" We don't know the time and place now, so we must have someone keep an eye on them.
"A colleague has taken over and is watching over it."
Su Ying also needed to go find Wen Yan again. After the two of them came out of the command center, they went back to the guesthouse first. Xiao Zhou was already waiting at the door.
"Sister Ying, you are finally back."
"What's wrong?" Su Ying was planning to let Xiaozhou go back to South Island today, as Xiaozhou would not be able to participate in the subsequent events.
"When I went to the state-owned restaurant to buy breakfast this morning, a middle-aged woman gave me a letter and asked me to pass it to you. She also told me not to talk too much and said that she was your informant and I had to keep it a secret."
Xiao Zhou was extremely cautious. He walked around outside and made sure that no one was following him. Then he went back to the guesthouse. He did not go upstairs, but waited at the door with breakfast.
Back in the room, Xiaozhou handed the letter to Su Ying. It was sealed intact and there was no word written on the envelope.
Su Ying asked about the woman's height and appearance. From Xiaozhou's description, she looked very much like Huigu, who was in the ward last night and was quite trusted by Xue Hongdong.
She said to Xiao Zhou, "Go buy a ticket and go back to South Island first. Tell the director, I still have to stay in Beijing for a few days."
Xiao Zhou nodded repeatedly, closed the door and went out.
Su Ying opened the letter. Han Jingyuan thought it was a letter from Huigu to Su Ying. He waited patiently for Su Ying to finish reading the letter.
"What does it say?"
Su Ying found it incredible. "Hui Gu wants to cooperate with us and asked us to go to the cemetery to discuss it in detail in the evening."
Han Jingyuan: ...It's a cemetery again, can't you find another place?
"She wouldn't want to kidnap you to restrain me because of my identity, right?"
Su Ying handed the letter to Han Jingyuan and asked him to judge for himself, "I don't think so, but why does Huigu also want the Xue family to die a miserable death?"
Han Jingyuan couldn't guess, so after reading the letter, he said, "You'll know when you go there tonight."
