A day passed without anyone contacting Chu Tonghai, but in the evening, two uninvited guests arrived at the Sun family's residence.
"Who are you looking for?" Aunt Shi asked the man and woman who barged in.
Where is Cheng Dehuai?
As she asked the question, Gu Xiu pushed aside Aunt Shi and Aunt Zheng, who were blocking her way, and rushed into the living room.
“I heard that his adoptive mother died and his adoptive father is not at home. No one cares about him. Where is my poor Dehuai? I want to take him home.”
Aunt Shi rushed up to stop her, saying, "There's no Cheng Dehuai here, and no one's dead. Stop talking nonsense and get out of here."
Cheng Yi shook off Aunt Shi, who was holding him, and searched everywhere. When he couldn't find his son on the first floor, he rushed up to the second floor to look for him.
He was held to the head with a gun as soon as he reached the second-floor stairwell.
Luo Shicheng dragged Cheng Yi into Sun Bailing's room and kicked him in the back of the knee.
After waiting for a long time, Cheng Yi still hadn't come down, so Gu Xiu impatiently went upstairs to look for him, only to be taken to see Sun Bailing in the same manner.
After interrogation, Cheng Yi and Gu Xiu admitted that they had indeed heard that Hua Li and Sun Bailing were dead, which is why they rushed to Jiangcheng by plane.
It concerned his future prospects, so Cheng Yi swore an oath to the heavens.
“We have never contacted Chu Tonghai, so how could it have been us?”
Besides, all we want is to bring Dehuai home. Wouldn't it be crazy to cause trouble for someone over something like this? Please, you must believe me.”
"Who told you that?" Sun Bailing asked in a deep voice.
Cheng Yi hesitated.
Luo Shicheng warned, "Knowing but not reporting is tantamount to being an accomplice. Cheng Yi, I advise you to think carefully before you answer."
Cheng Yi knew he had no choice but to speak up, so he said, "It was my mother who told me."
"Sinking leaves?" Sun Bailing asked.
Cheng Yi nodded.
Luo Shicheng immediately picked up the extension and called Zhang Jue.
Cheng Yi and Gu Xiu were taken away and temporarily detained, and Xiao Xiu witnessed the whole process without expression.
Sun Bailing waved his hand, calling Xiao Xiu, "Come here."
Xiao Xiu walked up to Sun Bailing, and Sun Bailing said.
"Thanks to Xiaoxiu for having the antidote, Grandpa and your Aunt Hua's lives were saved this time. Xiaoxiu, please feel free to make any requests."
Xiao Xiu looked at Luo Shicheng uneasily, and Luo Shicheng nodded slightly.
In order not to reveal the existence of the space, after saving Hua Li and Sun Bailing with the spiritual spring water yesterday, Luo Yan returned to the space with Luo Shicheng.
After Xiao Xiu waited for Sun Bailing to wake up, he told Sun Bailing what had happened and cooperated with Sun Bailing to put on an act, crying loudly to deceive Chu Tonghai, but the credit for saving people fell on him.
But he wasn't the one who saved the person, so how could he claim credit that belonged to Luo Yan? Xiao Xiu lowered his head in shame.
A small hand grasped Xiao Xiu's hand, and Xiao Xiu turned to meet Luo Yan's smiling eyes.
Don't forget that you are also the owner of this space. Your grandfather was saved by you feeding him the spiritual spring water. He is rewarding you, and you are fully entitled to receive it.
Xiao Xiu received encouragement from Luo Yan and said.
"I want to find Cheng Yichen and, in front of my parents, make him confess all the times he's bullied me since I was a child."
Sun Bailing nodded solemnly, "Okay, Grandpa promises you."
Half an hour later, Zhang Jue called.
“Chen Yezi is dead. We haven’t found out who told her. Also, when Xiang Yu went to see Liu Jingqiu, he didn’t find out that she had any contact with Li Mingzhu and Chu Tonghai.”
Luo Shicheng hung up the phone and told Sun Bailing, who then said...
"No matter how things change, the principle remains the same. Even though Shen Yezi was silenced and Cheng Yichen's whereabouts are a mystery, that person's target is definitely Hua Li."
Hua Li, sitting next to Sun Bailing, still felt like she was dreaming...
She was poisoned for no apparent reason, and then she was cured for no apparent reason. Even more inexplicably, Uncle Sun was certain that they were father and daughter, and that her mother was actually abroad.
Now, her biological father and husband are saying that someone wants to kill her, and that person even killed Xiaoxiu's grandmother. Is she really not dreaming?
Hua Li rubbed her face with trembling hands; the fear of impending death made her desperately want to escape.
Luo Yan stepped forward and patted her small chest.
Mom, don't be afraid. With Yan Yan protecting you, no one can hurt you.
Looking at her brave daughter, Hua Li felt ashamed of her own fleeting desire to escape.
Luo Shicheng watched the interaction between the mother and daughter, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Cheng Yi and his wife were just testing the waters for the other side. The news that Hua Li and you are safe and sound can no longer be kept secret."
Since we can't hide it anymore, there's no need to hide it. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. If I can't even protect my wife, I shouldn't be a battalion commander.
Sun Bailing agreed wholeheartedly, "With us protecting her, I want to see just how capable she really is."
Xiao Xiu pulled Luo Yan along, saying, "Yan Yan and I are here too. We will protect Aunt Hua."
"I was all alone before, but now I finally have someone to protect me. Even the two kids said they would protect me, so I can't back down," Hua Li said.
"I've been exercising these past few days, and I can protect myself."
Sun Bailing was very pleased that his daughter was able to be independent and self-reliant.
“You are just like your mother, strong and courageous. I feel my life has been worthwhile just to have met you in my lifetime.”
"dad……"
Hua Li grasped Sun Bailing's hand.
"I was too selfish. I didn't acknowledge you even though I knew you might be my father. I'm sorry."
Sun Bailing smiled and grasped Hua Li's hand in return.
"That's why I said you're like your mother. When you're stubborn, nothing you can do, no amount of coercion or bribery works. Once you've set your mind on someone, you'll never change. It's so cute."
Hua Li lowered her head shyly. "Sometimes being too stubborn isn't good either. If we, father and daughter, had passed away without recognizing each other, wouldn't that be a lifelong regret?"
Sun Bailing smiled with relief, “Which person who achieves great things isn’t stubborn and headstrong? Without that unwavering determination, how could Zhao Yun have made seven incursions and seven outs, and where would the story of Cheng Men Li Xue come from? There’s no need to change it.”
