Seeing that it was still early, Hua Li went home and got Luo Shicheng some changes of clothes and toiletries, which she then gave to Chen Yuanshan.
"Aren't you going to see him?" Chen Yuanshan asked Hua Li.
Hua Li shook her head, "Let Yan Yan go."
The past hurts are hard to erase, and she can't bring herself to say anything about sharing weal and woe. Sending the child is just to show her attitude and prevent people from using her to spread rumors that she and Luo Shicheng abandoned each other when disaster struck.
Sun Bailing couldn't go either. Xiao Xiu wanted to go with Luo Yan, but Hua Li noticed that Xiao Xiu had a fever and didn't allow it.
Chen Yuanshan picked up Luo Yan and put her in the passenger seat, then drove to the military base.
Upon reaching the outside of the confinement room, Luo Yan hesitated, remembering the terrifying experience Luo Shicheng had had when he last emerged from it.
Chen Yuanshan couldn't help but chuckle, "Are you afraid of being bothered by your dad's stench?"
Luo Yan nodded seriously.
Chen Yuanshan was gloating that Luo Shicheng was actually disliked by his own daughter.
"Alright, I'll go in first and let him wash up and change his clothes before you go in."
That's more like it," Luo Yan waved her hand, and Chen Yuanshan walked to the solitary confinement room.
Luo Yan got a little bored waiting outside, so she climbed a tree, sat on a branch, and enjoyed the breeze and the moon.
Two figures passed by under the tree, and Luo Yan overheard their whispers as they approached.
"You say Luo Shicheng's daughter is really that amazing, a three-year-old who can smash five bricks with one slap? I just don't believe it."
Luo Yan recognized Yang Daocheng's voice and looked down at the tree; it really was him.
"Didn't you see that the people carrying the bricks were soldiers from his own camp? The bricks must have been tampered with, but we're the only ones who didn't notice."
Walking side by side with Yang Daocheng on the Cold War national highway.
Yang Daocheng clicked his tongue, "Even if bricks can be faked, our sons were both beaten down by that little girl, that can't be faked, can it?"
"Hey, you've forgotten? Luo Shicheng used to be a street fighter. He never lost a fight. The kids he trained could easily beat our two inexperienced kids."
“You’re right…” Yang Daocheng agreed. “But this time he’s been sued, and he might be discharged from the military. It would be a shame if we had let him lead more troops and impart his combat experience.”
"What's there to regret? Even if another war breaks out in the future, the chances of street fighting are very slim. It doesn't matter whether he teaches us or not."
“That’s different…” Yang Daocheng disagreed. “Even in peacetime, we must strengthen our military. The enemy’s desire to destroy us will never die, and we can never let our guard down on that…”
The two walked and talked until they were quite far away before Luo Yan stopped listening.
At that moment, another figure emerged from the office building in the distance, and Luo Yan was taken aback when she saw him.
Luo Yan climbed down the tree and ran over.
“Grandma…” Luo Yan grabbed Shen Suyin’s hand.
Shen Suyin stopped and looked down, recognizing at a glance the little girl who had abandoned her at the airport and sneaked away.
Shen Suyin forcefully shook off Luo Yan's hand.
"Who's your grandma? Get away from me."
Since Shen Suyin was able to get the army to come, it must be for her grandfather's sake, so how could she let her go?
"Grandma, Grandma, Grandma..."
Luo Yan chased after Shen Suyin, calling out to her.
Shen Suyin walked out of the military base gate and got into the car, with Luo Yan following behind like a little tail.
"I'm not your grandmother. If you dare call me that again, I'll..."
After a long pause, Shen Suyin still couldn't say anything, and with a snort, she ordered the driver to drive.
The car started, and Luo Yan continued to call out after it.
Her maternal grandfather and mother are both stubborn but soft-hearted, so she has to seize the opportunity to reunite them and not let regret ruin the lives of two lovers who have been separated for decades.
Luo Yan deliberately ran in a staggering manner, and the driver, seeing this in the rearview mirror, couldn't bear to speed up.
Shen Suyin turned around and saw Luo Yan lying on the ground crying loudly.
The car didn't stop and drove out of Luo Yan's sight.
Ah, Grandma is really heartless. She didn't even care that she fell. Luo Yan raised her little hand to wipe the tears from her face and was about to get up when she suddenly heard laughter.
Xiang Yu led An Xiaotong, who was wearing a floral dress, over, and the two of them were smiling very happily.
"Auntie, look at her lying on the ground, doesn't she look like a dog fighting for poop?"
Xiang Yu snorted, "To say she's like a dog is an understatement. She's just as stupid and clumsy as her mother. She thinks she can gain Madam's approval by playing the victim. Ha, even if you fall and die in front of Madam, she won't even flinch."
Even Dr. Li has been arrested, so why is Xiang Yu still causing trouble? Luo Yan frowned as she looked at Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu stepped on Luo Yan's back, "You brat, what kind of look is that?"
An Xiaotong chimed in, "If you dare look at my aunt again, I'll gouge your eyes out."
Luo Yan saw the person slowly walking back in the moonlight in the distance and burst into tears. The sound of her crying made Xiang Yu's head throb. Just as she was about to put her feet down, the sentry standing guard at the army gate rushed over and shoved Xiang Yu aside.
"Who are you, and why are you hitting Yan Yan?"
Luo Yan was a star in their unit; everyone adored her and no one would dare lay a finger on her. Yet, she was bullied and trampled underfoot by a woman.
Xiang Yu shuddered at the sentry's shout and instinctively pulled his foot back.
The sentry bent down and picked up Luo Yan, but Luo Yan didn't notice when she fell and her knee hit the stone, bleeding profusely.
The sentry saw this and glared at Xiang Yu, "How dare you injure our little hero, the model soldier..."
"What's going on?" Chen Yuanshan came out of the confinement room but couldn't find Luo Yan. When he came over, he saw that the sentry had left his post. He quickly ran over, took Luo Yan, and waved for the sentry to go back.
The sentry angrily pointed at Luo Yan's bruised knee, "She injured Yan Yan, she has to give an explanation."
After saying that, he ran back to continue his post.
Xiang Yu took out two ten-yuan bills from his backpack and tossed them to Chen Yuanshan.
"She broke her leg herself, not me. Consider this money a reward for her; take it to get her injury treated."
When Luo Yan saw the bulging bag on Xiang Yu's back, she realized that Xiang Yu had come from the direction of Fuyuan Village. It was in Fuyuan Village that Li Tai was arrested. So Xiang Yu went to Fuyuan Village to retrieve something that Li Tai had left behind.
The situation was critical at the time, and she and her father didn't have time to search the Wu family. However, Li Tai took advantage of the situation, but since she had encountered him, it wasn't too late.
Luo Yan patted Chen Yuanshan, telling him to put her down, and then ran over and ripped off Xiang Yu's backpack.
"What are you doing, you poor wretch? Are you robbing me?" Xiang Yu shouted angrily.
Luo Yan didn't give Xiang Yu a chance to take it back at all, and grabbed the backpack with both hands and pulled hard.
Sizzle!
The leather backpack was torn in two, and its contents were scattered all over the floor.
Luo Yan spotted a notebook that was the same model as Liu Jingqiu's. She bent down and picked it up, also grabbing a brown paper bag inside. As Xiang Yu reached out to snatch it, she took off running.
Xiang Yu chased after Luo Yan for a few steps, and when she saw Luo Yan run into the army gate, she immediately stopped and turned to leave. But when she looked up, she saw Shen Suyin standing not far away watching her.
Shen Suyin's all-seeing gaze fell on Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu felt as if he had been burned and destroyed on the spot by that gaze.
