891: Everything is back to normal
Although she was sure that Jiang Shang would not do such a thing, Bai Jiawen could not eat or sleep for a day if Jiang Shang did not come back.
That morning, after the radio station finished broadcasting the reward notice, the phone at home rang. Bai Jiawen was startled and rushed to the phone, hoping that it would be good news. Maybe Jiang Shang came back to tell her that he was safe. Maybe Jiang Shang would tell her that it was all just a misunderstanding?
Bai Jiawen trembled as she picked up the receiver. She heard her sister Bai Jiawen's anxious voice:
"Hey, Jiawen, what happened to Jiang Shang? Why did they announce a reward for his whereabouts so early in the morning? And why did they also say—"
Bai Jiawen felt a little weak in the knees:
"what else?"
"Also, the broadcast said there would be a reward even if Jiang Shang's body was found."
Bai Jiawen's eyes went dark and she fainted. She said nothing and habitually put the receiver back on the phone. Then she hurried out of the house and went to the police station to look for someone.
After finding Director Sun, Bai Jiawen immediately grabbed Director Sun's arm:
"Director Sun, tell me, what happened to our Jiang Shang? Is he dead? Director Sun, tell me the truth, what happened to Jiang Shang?"
Director Sun felt sorry for Bai Jiawen when he saw her distraught look, but at this point, he could only tell her the truth:
"Jiang Shang previously led a team to escort prisoners to the Northwest. After arriving there, he also brought You Wenyue back. Unfortunately, a prisoner named Li Xinchun escaped from prison. This Li Xinchun may have taken Jiang Shang hostage and fled all the way to Beijing in his police car. Now the fugitive has been apprehended, but the whereabouts of Jiang Shang and You Wenyue are still unknown."
Bai Jiawen could hardly support her body:
"How is this possible? How could this happen? How could—"
When Bai Jiawen thought that her husband might never come back, she felt like the sky was falling.
Director Sun comforted:
"Go back and wait for news. We'll let you know if we find any clues."
After saying that, Director Sun reminded:
"But you'd better be mentally prepared. Jiang Shang may have met with an accident. Moreover, even if he is still alive, he will be held accountable when he returns. Do you understand?"
The last three words were Director Sun’s hint to Bai Jiawen.
Director Sun was not unaware that Jiang Shang was forming a clique behind the scenes and abusing his power to make money, but he had always turned a blind eye to it. Jiang Shang was a capable, shrewd, and versatile man. Director Sun was optimistic about Jiang Shang's future in the bureau, so he was particularly tolerant of Jiang Shang.
Now that this has happened, even if Jiang Shang can come back, even if he says he was coerced, this man has already been tainted and his future is uncertain. Director Sun will not bet on such a person.
Therefore, Director Sun would rather cut off his arm to protect himself and eliminate Jiang Shang.
At that time, Jiang Shang’s guilt will definitely be investigated.
In short, Jiang Shang is a useless person.
Director Sun could only say this much and could not reveal more. After that, he left the pale Bai Jiawen and went about his own business.
At the hospital, Li Xinchun finally woke up.
As soon as he woke up, Han Gang came to the bedside and interrogated him:
"Where are Li Xinchun, Jiang Shang, and You Wenyue?"
Li Xinchun acted as if he didn't hear it.
No matter how Han Gang asked, Li Xinchun just didn't answer.
Han Gang was furious and grabbed Li Xinchun's neck and asked:
"Tell me quickly, where are the people and cars?!"
Li Xinchun showed a strange smile on his face, but still said nothing. It seemed that he had made up his mind to take two people with him before he died.
No matter how the police interrogated him, even when Director Sun came to interrogate him personally, Li Xinchun never revealed the whereabouts of Jiang Shang, You Wenyue and the police car.
Everyone tacitly agreed that the two would never come back.
No one dared to believe that Jiang Shang escorted the prisoners to the Northwest, and this departure turned out to be a farewell forever.

At the Yu family's side, Zhou Ziheng was busy all night. He went home after dawn, picked up Xu Ying, and sent her to Chen Ci's house. Then he followed the truck to the farm and brought the entire Yu family, including Shen Hongcai and Changning, back to the city.
Shen Hongcai led his grandson into the house. Changning, who knew nothing about it, still shouted happily:
“Mom, Mom—”
Shen Ci, who had been lying in bed, suddenly perked up when she heard her son's voice. Her distracted eyes regained vitality, and she stood up and sat beside the bed, calling her son:
"Changning."
"Mother!"
Changning ran into the room with his short legs swinging, and threw himself into his mother's arms with a sweet smile on his face.
Holding her son's soft body, Chen Ci's tears had dried up but her eyes couldn't help but turn red again. Her eyes were already sore from crying, and now they felt even more sour and uncomfortable.
Changning raised her little face and looked around:
"Mom, where's my dad, Dad—Dad—"
Chen Ci choked:
"Your father is not at home. He will be back in a few days."
"Really? Where did Dad go? Why didn't he tell me?"
Chen Ci didn't know what to say, and two tears fell again.
Yu Xiaoye leaned over, touched his nephew's head lovingly and said with a smile:
"Changning, Daddy's out for a few days and will be back soon. You stay home with Mommy and wait for her to come back, okay? Our Changning is a little man now. He can accompany Mommy and protect her when Daddy is not at home, right?"
"Yes! I will protect Mom and wait for Dad to come back!"
“Changning is awesome!”
Chen Ci hugged her well-behaved and sensible son again, and a smile from the heart finally appeared on her tearful face.
With Changning accompanying Chen Ci, Chen Ci was obviously in much better condition. She got out of bed, combed her hair carefully, washed her face, tidied herself up, and then began to prepare dinner for her son. Except for her eyes being a little red and swollen, nothing else seemed to have happened.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Yu Xiaoye left the Shen family and accompanied his parents back to their own yard.
The courtyard where the Yu family lived became very lively at this time.
Ever since the shooting, their Courtyard No. 12 has become a well-known courtyard, and the sudden disappearance of the entire Yu family has become a topic of conversation among everyone.
When the Yu family came back, they were shocked to see that the already crowded courtyard was packed to the brim, with no space for anyone to step into.
In the past, Xu Ying would have rudely chased the person out, but now Xu Ying has started doing business and began to believe in making money through harmony. He doesn't want to offend anyone, so not only did he chase the person out, he also took the initiative to move a stool, took a palm-leaf fan, sat outside and chatted with people, answering every question, just like a storyteller.
Talking and cursing at the same time feels a bit satisfying.
Yu Xiaoye stood aside, looking at the lively scene in the yard. He saw his parents chatting with others, Cuihua busying around in and out of the house, and Pangya and his two little nephews running and playing in and out of the house as before.
Great, everything is back to normal.
Yu Xiaoye suddenly felt like the clouds had parted and the sky was clear.
As for Jiang Shang and You Wenyue, Yu Xiaoye was not worried about their threat at all. Even if he could find them alive, they would not be able to escape sanctions.
This time we have caught them all.
Just as Xu Ying and Yu Jiahui were spitting at each other, the postman squeezed in, holding a letter:
"Yu Jiahui, there's a letter for you, bring the seal!"
“Here I come!”
