Knowing that the horrific situation before him was a nightmare, Chen He kept telling himself to wake up quickly, but he just couldn't.
The horror in the dream continues to magnify...
It was not until the helicopter crashed and he watched the body of 'Chen He' being burned bit by bit that Chen He came out of the dream.
She sat up in bed in shock, feeling cold sweat all over her head. She looked back at the pillow and saw that the silk pillow was also wet.
Chen He went to the bathroom to take a hot shower and changed into soft and dry thin velvet home clothes, and then he felt refreshed and comfortable.
I looked at the time and it was already 1:30 in the afternoon.
Chen He went downstairs without makeup and saw Aunt Qin dozing off on the sofa. She deliberately made her footsteps louder.
Aunt Qin woke up when she heard the noise. She looked up and saw Chen He on the stairs. She noticed that she looked pale and seemed to be in very unwell.
Aunt Qin showed a concerned look, "Madam, you didn't come back for half the night last night. Did you get cold outside? I saw that you didn't look well..."
Aunt Qin suggested: "How about I ask the family doctor to come and see you?"
"It's okay, I just had a nightmare." Chen He asked Aunt Qin: "Can you make me a cup of hot milk?"
"Of course, ma'am, please wait a moment."
Aunt Qin quickly ran to the kitchen to boil milk.
After drinking a cup of hot milk, Chen He felt a little better.
She went into the kitchen with a glass of milk and asked Aunt Qin, who was preparing the ingredients for dinner, "Is Jingcheng not back yet?"
"My husband said he would have lunch at the Shen family's house at noon, and told me not to wake you up and to eat after you wake up."
"Um."
Chen He sent a WeChat message to Song Jingcheng, telling him that he was awake, and then walked to the restaurant and sat down.
Aunt Qin brought the lunch that she had prepared long ago to the table.
It was a plate of black matsutake fried rice and a big soup dumpling. When Aunt Qin put the plate on the table, the thin soup dumpling skin was still shaking.
"Soup dumplings today?"
Aunt Qin came out with the cutlery and explained with a smile, "This isn't just any soup dumpling. This is crab roe soup dumpling."
"Every year at this time of year, Song Garden purchases a batch of the largest hairy crabs and airfreights them directly to Song Garden. Kang Bo then sends people to deliver the hairy crabs to the homes of the Song family's relatives, and this year is no exception."
"Knowing that you like crab roe soup dumplings, Comber specially invited a Hong Kong chef to the mansion and started preparing it last night. It took almost eight hours to make this crab roe soup dumplings."
"I steamed one for my wife and left a few for later when Dr. Su, Elder Tang, and my husband come back."
Aunt Qin handed the straw to Shen He, "Madam, would you like to try it?"
Chen He didn't feel hungry at first, but after listening to Aunt Qin's introduction, her appetite suddenly came up. "Let me try it."
Chen He inserted the straw into the crab soup dumpling, took a bite and was amazed, "It's so delicious!"
"Of course not! I was in the kitchen last night learning from the Hong Kong chef. It took me three or four hours to peel the crab roe and crab paste."
"The Hong Kong chef even used pig skin trotters and a whole chicken to make a pot of pig skin jelly..." Aunt Qin said so much that she felt hungry.
Chen He quickly finished the crab roe soup dumplings.
After eating some more fried rice, Shen He was full.
She wiped her mouth and said to Aunt Qin, "I'm going out this afternoon and probably won't be back for dinner. Aunt Qin, take a crab soup dumpling with you and go back to have dinner with your grandson and daughter."
"I heard from grandma that your daughter and son-in-law are divorced. You should go and spend time with your family so that they can feel at ease."
Aunt Qin also wanted to go see her daughter, otherwise she would always be worried about her, but she didn't want to take the crab roe soup dumplings.
She said, "There are only four soup dumplings left. I won't take any. I think my wife likes them..."
"Take it with you." Chen He interrupted Aunt Qin and said, "Delicious food can make people happy. If you don't want to eat it, give it to your daughter to try."
Using crab roe to make soup dumplings is still a bit of a luxury, mainly because it is a waste of energy, and ordinary people really don’t have much chance to eat it.
Aunt Qin didn't bother to be polite with Chen He anymore. She said, "Thank you very much, Madam."
"Then I'll pack up and go back this afternoon..."
"Well, let the driver take you."
As he was speaking, Song Jingcheng called.
"woke up?"
"Yeah." Chen He went upstairs holding the phone.
Song Jingcheng said, "Ma Kai has gone to pick up my sister-in-law. She will be at our house in about an hour. Please get ready first."
Shen He was already choosing clothes in the cloakroom.
As she picked, she asked Song Jingcheng, "Have you seen Sri?"
"Yes."
He added, "We are in Xiangcheng, we just arrived, and we are in Boss Cheng's car now."
"You ran to Xiangcheng?" Chen He was extremely surprised.
Boss Cheng's voice rang out from the other end of the phone: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, Mr. Song has arrived in Xiangcheng, which means he has arrived in his second hometown!"
"Old Cheng will do his best to be a good host and take good care of Mr. Song and Officer Shen!"
Chen He smiled and responded, "Of course I feel at ease with Old Cheng coming forward."
Boss Cheng concentrated on driving and didn't say anything else.
Song Jingcheng turned off the speaker on his phone.
Chen He said, "Are you and Sri going to the Begonia Valley Villa?"
"Well, we brought two technicians to investigate the scene," Song Jingcheng said. "If I'm not mistaken, several people must have died in that basement."
"We're going to investigate the scene."
The technical staff of the Criminal Investigation Department are very experienced and can find clues wherever blood has been shed.
Besides, Cheng Yang didn’t know that he had been targeted.
