For Xiaoxiu's future, settling her household registration in Beijing would be the best option, but Sun Bailing decided to consult Xiaoxiu's opinion.
"Xiao Xiu, do you want your household registration to be in Beijing, or transferred to Jiangcheng?"
“Of course it’s in Beijing…” Gu Xiu cried out in a panic from outside the door, “Xiao Xiu, your parents will be good to you, okay? Let’s not change our household registration.”
Xiao Xiu ignored him and thought for a moment before speaking.
"In Beijing, when I grow up, I can take Yanyan to watch the flag-raising ceremony."
Sun Bailing nodded, "Perfect, Grandpa has a courtyard house in Beijing that's been empty all this time, you can register your household there."
Luo Yan, oh, you have a courtyard house in Beijing? Grandpa's amazing!
Xiao Xiu said, "Thank you, Grandpa."
When Cheng Yi and Gu Xiu heard this, they started talking about taking a short break again, but Chen Yuanshan, who had finished giving his statement and rushed to the hospital, asked them to leave.
When the topic of owning property in Beijing came up, Luo Yan seized the opportunity to remind Sun Bailing.
"TaeTae! TaeTae!"
There are only about three thousand decent houses in Beijing. Xu Tai's hideout is the Shen Mansion, so it should be easy to find. Quickly check if Cheng Yichen is hiding there.
Why is Luo Yan starting to mention 'Madam' again? Sun Bailing frowned in thought.
The old lady of the Cheng family was a distant cousin of the old lady of the Shen family. Before the Shen family passed away, they entrusted several houses to the old lady of the Cheng family to manage. The old lady of the Cheng family also doted on Cheng Yichen, so she should have taken Cheng Yichen to those houses...
Could it be that Cheng Yichen didn't disappear, but instead hid in the Shen Mansion?
Sun Bailing lowered his voice and asked Luo Yan.
How did Yan Yan find out about the Shen family mansion?
Luo Yan was still worried about how to make Sun Bailing associate her reminder with the Shen family, but Sun Bailing guessed it anyway?
Luo Yan, what expression should I use to respond? This is so difficult.
It was rare to see the little girl caught off guard, completely bewildered. Sun Bailing chuckled and pinched Luo Yan's cheek.
"Alright, Grandpa understands, thank you Yanyan."
Hua Li, what are these two, the old man and the young girl, saying? They're speaking only Chinese, but she can't understand a word.
After sending Cheng Yi and his wife away, Chen Yuanshan went to the guesthouse and booked two rooms. He returned to the hospital and gave the keys to Sun Bailing and Hua Li, telling them to go and rest. He stayed behind to take care of Xu Tianzhong and Xiaoxiu.
Not only the East Courtyard, but the entire compound was also sealed off. It would be very troublesome for Hua Li to go home, so he might as well stay at the guesthouse for the night. Hua Li accepted the key and asked how much the accommodation cost.
Chen Yuanshan refused to answer and told Hua Li to take Luo Yan away quickly.
Xu Tianzhong, who shared a ward with Xiaoxiu, was sleeping soundly. It didn't matter whether Sun Bailing stayed or not, so he and Hua Li took Luo Yan to the guesthouse.
As Luo Yan left the hospital, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
Oh no, danger! Luo Yan reached her left hand into her handbag, which was full of pebbles, and scanned the surroundings with eyes like a hawk.
Ever since she saved her parents with pebbles in the mountain cabin, Luo Yan has made it a habit to carry pebbles with her at all times in case of emergency, and now she's probably going to have to use them.
Luo Yan pointed to the three o'clock position, "Scared, scared!"
Sun Bailing reacted quickly and looked in the direction Luo Yan was pointing; a furtive figure flashed by.
Sun Bailing's keen senses, unique to soldiers, made him react immediately to the danger, grabbing Hua Li and turning to run back.
If the enemy has set an ambush, finding cover to hide in is useless. The only way out is to escape unexpectedly, giving the enemy no chance to strike.
Just as Sun Bailing turned around, a bullet silently shot towards his back, but Luo Yan flicked it away with a pebble.
Several more bullets were fired in quick succession, and this time some of them were aimed directly at Hua Li.
In an instant, Luo Yan held five pebbles in her hands. She threw three with her left hand, deflecting the bullets aimed at Sun Bailing, and threw two with her right hand, which collided with the bullets in mid-air and shattered into dust.
Sun Bailing saw Luo Yan waving her little hands incessantly. He turned around and saw a huge black shadow rushing towards them in the dark night.
Hearing the roar of the engine, Sun Bailing felt a chill run down his spine and dragged Hua Li away at full speed.
But how could two legs outrun four wheels? Sun Bailing released Hua Li, stopped, and spread his arms to shield Hua Li from behind.
Hua Li was so focused on carrying Luo Yan that she ran to the hospital without realizing that Sun Bailing had given up his own life to protect her.
Hua Li didn't notice, but Luo Yan, who was perched on Hua Li's shoulder, saw it all clearly.
Thanks to the transformation of her body from long-term consumption of the spiritual spring water, Luo Yan can clearly see oncoming cars and the driver sitting in the driver's seat in the dark.
By blasting tires with stones and blinding the driver, Luo Yan clapped her hands and kept her good deed hidden.
Just as the car was about to hit Sun Bailing, it suddenly went out of control, grazed Sun Bailing's side, and crashed into a large tree on the side of the street.
On the brink of life and death, Sun Bailing didn't even flinch. He turned and ran towards the truck that had crashed into a tree and burst into flames. He opened the cab, dragged out the driver, and quickly evacuated.
Hua Li heard the loud noise, turned around and saw it, then turned back and ran away.
Luo Yan flicked two pebbles, hitting the assassin who was about to shoot Sun Bailing again.
Despite the pain of having their eyes shattered by pebbles, the two assassins tried to escape, but Luo Yan threw two more pebbles that hit their knees.
Hearing two screams, Sun Bailing did not stop, but continued running towards the hospital with the driver on his back and Hua Li in tow.
Only after running into the hospital and seeing no one chasing them did Sun Bailing hand the driver over to the medical staff and take Hua Li to the duty room.
Sun Bailing made phone calls to the military and the municipal bureau, while Hua Li held Luo Yan and sat down on a single sofa to relax.
Hua Li was incredulous to find that she was only slightly out of breath and didn't even feel tired.
Luo Yan touched her empty handbag and secretly rejoiced, deciding that she must learn to gather materials on the spot in the future, so that she could easily pick leaves and flowers and better protect the people she cared about.
Because of the severity of the situation, Sun Bailing's phone call lasted a long time. By the time the call ended, Hua Li and Luo Yan had already fallen asleep on the sofa.
Looking at the sleeping Hua Li, Sun Bailing recalled the image of Hua Li carrying Luo Yan and running, which perfectly overlapped with the image of Shen Suyin in his memory. It seemed that his guess was correct; Hua Li was the true owner of the carved phoenix jade pendant.
He had also fantasized that Hua Li was his and Shen Suyin's child, but he had only been separated from Shen Suyin for seven months before Hua Li was born, so it was impossible for him to be his child based on the timeline.
But even if it wasn't his, so what? As long as it was born to Shen Suyin, he would protect it with his life, especially since there was such a cute little girl.
Sun Bailing himself was unaware of how affectionate his gaze was when he looked at Hua Li and Luo Yan.
Although reluctant, Sun Bailing couldn't stay in the duty room for long, so he woke Hua Li up.
Hua Li carried Luo Yan and followed Sun Bailing to an empty ward.
Sun Bailing arranged for Hua Li and her daughter to stay in an empty ward, and sent guards to stand outside the ward. He then returned to the scene of the incident to participate in the investigation.
Hua Li lay down on the bed and hugged the fast-sleeping Luo Yan. He thought he would have a sleepless night, but he fell asleep soon after listening to Luo Yan's soft snores.
