Xi Nian frowned, "It's okay. We're already on our way back to the compound. It's too late for him to report now."
"But, I won't be free until they are caught." She couldn't even go out for a walk, it was like being in jail, and she didn't want to be in jail.
Xi Nian frowned, obviously thinking of this problem, but they couldn't catch anyone for a while.
"Yuxiu, I'm sorry to have wronged you. We will arrest them as soon as possible. Since they have come to Shangjing, they have already been exposed. Three days, only three days, we will definitely catch them."
She wasn't an unreasonable person. What she had just said was just a rant out of frustration. "I'll draw a portrait for you."
"Can you draw?"
“Is it strange that you can draw?”
Xi Nian shook his head and said, "How come you know everything? You're a great researcher, a great doctor, and now you can even paint. How many skills have you not shown?" There was no need for Zhong Yuxiu to lie about her abilities, and Xi Nian trusted her very much.
"Who knows?" He shrugged and spread his hands, which made Xi Nian want to hit him, but this man was not someone he could hit.
Several cars drove into the compound and stopped outside the Zhong family's small building. Xi Nian opened the car door first and got out. Then, someone opened Zhong Yuxiu's car door and welcomed her in. Two elderly people got out of a car behind them and walked up to Zhong Yuxiu. They didn't dare to look at the surroundings for long, nor did they have the energy to do so.
"Comrade Zhong, are we safe now?"
"It's safe. Wait a moment, Comrade Xi Nian will take you to a safe place. You won't be able to move around freely for the next few days. For your safety, you'll be taken to a safe place for protection. Once the crisis is over, you can come out. Then, I'll have my husband personally choose a house for you. What do you think?"
Zhong Yuxiu finished her words in one breath, and the two elderly people were uneasy after hearing them. "Then, can we live with you?"
"I'm sorry, that's not possible. I have family here. Don't worry, Comrade Xi Nian will bring you back in three days." Zhong Yuxiu continued, "It's safest for the two of you to go with Comrade Xi Nian."
Mr. Wang didn't want to leave, and the old lady didn't want to leave either; they only knew their own family in Beijing.
Zhong Yuxiu looked at Xi Nian, who took over the conversation, "Don't worry, I'll make all the arrangements for you two. I'll send you back as soon as the crisis is over. Is that feasible? Comrade Zhong is very busy, and his family members are also busy."
No time to entertain them.
Mr. Wang and the old lady both understood the hidden meaning of his words and knew that they couldn't just follow him stubbornly; if they continued talking, they would become annoying, and they would have to rely on the Yan family in the future, so they could only take it one step at a time.
"Okay, we'll follow your arrangements."
That's easy.
Xi Nian's expression relaxed slightly, and he said to Zhong Yuxiu, "Yuxiu, go home and rest first. Don't go out for the next three days. When the portrait is finished, have Comrade Gu deliver it, or I can send someone to pick it up."
"Leave one person behind, and I'll give it to him when I'm done." Zhong Yuxiu said, "Aren't you tired of running back and forth?"
"Alright."
Xi Nian turned around and winked at the person next to him. The person stepped forward, saluted, and walked to wait not far from Zhong Yuxiu.
Xi Nian then said goodbye to Zhong Yuxiu, took the two old people and led a group of people away.
Zhong Yuxiu, Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong led the person who stayed behind into the open door. Hearing the noise, Old Man Yan and Yan Rushan looked in the direction of the footsteps. Yan Rushan suddenly stood up and walked forward, his expression excited and resentful. When he reached her, he hugged her in his arms.
He held the person tightly in his arms, his breath smelled of sweat, but he didn't want to let go.
Zhong Yuxiu felt uncomfortable being imprisoned and could sense his fear. She fell to the ground but didn't push him away. She just patted his shoulder gently and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm fine. I'm back safely! They protected me very well on the way."
Yan Rushan closed his eyes and buried his head in her hair, refusing to let go.
Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong walked to the reception room and saluted Mr. Yan, "Hello, Mr. Yan."
"Hello, thank you for your hard work. You must be tired after the journey."
Gu Lingguo shook his head frankly, "I'm not tired, the journey was smooth."
"That's good. Go upstairs and clean up, take a good shower, and then go to sleep. We'll deal with the rest after you wake up."
"yes."
The two of them went upstairs carrying their respective small packages, and Yan Rushan still held his wife tightly and refused to let go.
"Dashan, let Yuxiu rest for a while. We just got home."
Yan Rushan then reluctantly let go of her hand and instead held her soft hand; he took her to the living room and sat down on the sofa opposite the old man.
Old Master Yan looked at the person who followed him and acted like a light bulb. "Who is this?"
"Oh, yes, he is Comrade Xi Nian, who stayed behind to get something. Rushan, go get me a pencil and a piece of white paper."
Yan Rushan was reluctant to let go, but since his wife had spoken, he was reluctant to refuse her; he nodded with a serious face, got up, went upstairs to get paper and pen and handed them to her.
After Zhong Yuxiu took it, she had no intention of comforting the man who had just calmed down; she took out pen and paper and started drawing. Yan Rushan sat next to her and watched her draw a portrait of a man with a murderous face, stroke by stroke.
Zhong Yuxiu stopped writing and handed the painting to the waiting person, "Excuse me, please give it to Comrade Xi Nian."
"Yes." The man saluted and left.
After seeing the person off, Zhong Yuxiu put down her pen and finally had the heart to speak, "Grandpa, like a mountain."
"Did you encounter any problems on your way back?" Old Master Yan keenly sensed the problem.
"Well, it's just a small matter, and I've handed it over to Xi Nian to handle." Zhong Yuxiu didn't want to say more, only saying: "Grandpa, don't worry, I'm back safely. Even if they want to kill me, they can't enter the compound."
Old Master Yan was not so optimistic. "You need to be more careful about what you eat in the next few days."
"Comrade Xi Nian said when the problem can be solved?" Yan Rushan asked.
"Comrade Xi Nian told us to give him three days. With my portrait, it shouldn't be difficult to find the perpetrator and arrest him within three days." She then looked at the old man calmly, "Grandpa, did your journey back go smoothly?"
Old Master Yan nodded. "It's okay. We just ran into some human traffickers and were handed over to the train police by Rushan. Our three children are adorable, and they got interested in us when they saw them. It was okay when there were more people around, but on our way back, Rushan was the only grown man who could help. Comrade Feng Zheng is obviously not normal, so it's normal for him to have his eyes on us."
"Thank goodness you're all okay. I was worried about you along the way."
"We're worried about you too. You're a bigger target, so they're mainly looking for you. We're not a big target, so no one's noticed us."
Yan Rushan continued, "The journey was smooth. Now that you're back, Grandpa and I can rest assured."
