"Zhang Jue, where is An Xiaotong?" Luo Shicheng, who had walked away, turned back and asked Zhang Jue.
Zhang Jue glanced at Luo Yan in Luo Shicheng's arms and sighed, "I'll drive you there."
When they arrived at the hospital morgue, Zhang Jue asked Luo Shicheng to hand Luo Yan, whom he was carrying, to Chen Yuanshan, but Luo Yan clung tightly to Luo Shicheng's neck and refused.
Zhang Jue didn't insist any further. He pushed open the door to the morgue, went inside, and lifted the white sheet covering the morgue table.
An Xiaotong lay quietly, her expression frozen between pain and fear. Her eyes were half-open and half-closed. She had been dressed in brand-new long clothes and trousers, like a broken doll that had been pieced back together.
Luo Shicheng raised his hand and gently touched An Xiaotong's face, his touch icy cold.
He watched this child grow up. Although he was very extreme at the time, the child was innocent. He only hoped that An Xiaotong could grow up safely and healthily. He never thought that one day she would end up like his niece.
Luo Shicheng seemed to see his niece's face covered in maggots again, and he retreated in horror.
"Dad..." Luo Yan's childish voice brought Luo Shicheng back to his senses from his dark despair.
"I want my mom."
Luo Yan didn't want Luo Shicheng to stay here any longer, lest he be agitated.
Luo Shicheng glanced at An Xiaotong again, then turned and left with Luo Yan in his arms.
Chen Yuanshan reached out and closed An Xiaotong's eyes, then quickly caught up with Luo Shicheng.
Zhang Jue came out and was shocked to find that his car had been driven away by those two bastards, Luo Shicheng and Chen Yuanshan.
They can drive away without the keys? Damn, these two newbies!
Chen Yuanshan silently drove the car to the outskirts of the scene where An Xiaotong had the accident.
Luo Shicheng and Luo Yan, who were sitting in the back seat, got out of the car and followed Chen Yuanshan to a clearing in the woods.
Luo Yan looked around. This place was different from where Luo Shicheng was ambushed. It was a deep forest with a large ditch nearby. It was a place with few people. So why would the drunkard come here?
Chen Yuanshan pointed to a patch of tangled grass in the open space, "This is where An Xiaotong was found."
The words had barely left his mouth when the dark figure behind the tree in the distance ran frantically out of the woods.
Chen Yuanshan took off after him, while Luo Shicheng stayed by Luo Yan's side, vigilantly scanning their surroundings.
Luo Yan took out pebbles from her handbag and threw them at the dark figure.
The shadowy figure was struck in the back of the knee, cried out and fell to the ground. Chen Yuanshan caught up with him, grabbed his arms, and tied them with his belt.
Chen Yuanshan smelled a strong odor of alcohol on the dark figure and angrily questioned him.
"Did you kill An Xiaotong?"
Upon hearing that An Xiaotong was dead, the shadowy figure cried out, "It wasn't me! I didn't kill anyone!"
Chen Yuanshan picked up the shadowy figure and walked towards the car. Luo Shicheng, despite being pinched hard by Luo Yan several times, remained conscious and did not go berserk. He watched the shadowy figure walk past him with red eyes.
Chen Yuanshan drove the murderer to the municipal police station, while Luo Shicheng picked up Luo Yan and ran towards the sugar factory residence.
Luo Yan was able to control Luo Shicheng, so Chen Yuanshan wasn't worried. After arriving at the Municipal Bureau, he drove back to the military base.
Luo Shicheng took Luo Yan to Tang Nier's house in the sugar factory residential area and climbed over the wall to enter.
The courtyard was just as it had been during the last search; the doors and windows were tightly shut, and the house was covered in dust. Xiang Yu was not there.
"Grandma..." Luo Yan had a feeling that Xiang Yu was desperate and might retaliate against Shen Suyin.
Luo Shicheng didn't know where Shen Suyin lived. He took Luo Yan back to the hospital, but Zhang Jue had already left.
Luo Yan, "Car."
Shen Suyin's car is a blue Chevrolet, which is unique in Jiangcheng and easy to find.
Finding the car meant finding the person, Luo Shicheng agreed. After a moment's thought, he headed straight for the guesthouse closest to the compound.
Sure enough, they found Shen Suyin's car downstairs at the guesthouse.
Shen Suyin had already gone to sleep when she was woken up by the knocking on the door. She asked through the door who it was.
"Grandma!" Luo Yan's soft, childlike voice came through the crack in the door.
Shen Suyin suddenly opened the door and saw Luo Shicheng and Luo Yan, her brows furrowing in displeasure.
What are you doing here?
Luo Shicheng: "Xiang Yu has escaped. Yan Yan and I will protect your safety."
Shen Suyin said nonchalantly, "I have bodyguards, I don't need them."
Luo Shicheng pushed open the door and forced his way in, with Luo Yan following behind, not forgetting to turn around and close the door.
"You should go and rest."
Luo Shicheng and Luo Yan sat on the living room sofa and rudely urged Chen Suyin to go back to her room to sleep.
Shen Suyin was so angry she laughed. She didn't insist on kicking him out, but went back to her room, locked the door, and went to sleep.
As dawn broke, Xiang Yu still hadn't appeared, so Luo Shicheng took Luo Yan and left.
As they walked downstairs, Luo Shicheng planned to take Luo Yan to have breakfast, but Luo Yan grabbed him as they passed Shen Suyin's car.
Luo Yan sniffed, walked to the car, bent down, and said, "Egg."
Luo Shicheng knelt on one knee and looked down at the car.
There was a bomb stuck under the car chassis. Luo Shicheng picked up Luo Yan and went back to the guesthouse to call the municipal bureau.
Upon hearing that a bomb had been found under the car, Shen Suyin knew she could no longer stay at the guesthouse. Under the protection of her bodyguards, she prepared to move, but was stopped by Luo Yan when she reached the first floor.
Luo Yan took Shen Suyin's hand and looked up, "Grandma, let's go home."
The word "go home" broke Shen Suyin's defenses, and she stopped refusing, letting Luo Yan lead her hand to the car Chen Yuanshan had driven.
Luo Shicheng opened the car door and invited Shen Suyin to get in, but Shen Suyin hesitated again.
Luo Yan climbed onto the car and waved to Shen Suyin, saying, "Grandpa misses Grandma."
Grandpa misses you so much. We've been apart for so many years, don't you miss Grandpa too?
Yes, she needs to ask her Ah Ling why she broke her promise and married Xiao Rong instead of waiting for her.
Shen Suyin got into the car, Luo Shicheng got into the passenger seat, and Chen Yuanshan started the car and drove towards the East Courtyard.
As the four entered the house, Aunt Shi, carrying a tray and looking worried, came out of the kitchen and was startled to see them.
"Aunt Shi, where is Commander Sun?" Chen Yuanshan asked.
Aunt Shi sighed, "She's sick..."
Sun Bailing decided not to contact Shen Suyin, and then fell ill with a fever, developing a high fever in the middle of the night.
"Mom?" Luo Yan asked, worried about Hua Li.
Aunt Shi cried all night, and now she can forget about going to work today.
Being disliked by her mother is something she can't accept no matter how old she is. Hua Li has a lot of worries to share, but nowhere to confide in, so she just keeps crying.
"Brother?" Luo Yan had a bad feeling when she didn't see Xiao Xiu, who was used to getting up early.
Aunt Shi said bitterly, "She's sick too. She started having a fever after you left yesterday, and the high fever wouldn't go down all night. Now that you're back, please take Xiaoxiu to the hospital."
Shen Suyin: "Where is A-Ling?"
Aunt Shi saw that Shen Suyin had an extraordinary temperament and had come with Luo Shicheng, so she spoke politely.
"Madam, please come with me."
Shen Suyin followed Aunt Shi upstairs and into Sun Bailing's room.
The room contained only a table, a chair, a bed, and a cabinet; it was so simple it was almost shabby. When Shen Suyin walked in, she saw Sun Bailing lying on the bed, his cheeks flushed red from the fever.
Time flies, and the handsome young man of yesteryear now has graying temples. The ravages of time have left deep marks on his face, but his thick eyebrows still stand stubbornly on his brow bone as before.
“Ah Ling…”
Upon hearing the call that haunted his dreams, Sun Bailing suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, then abruptly closed them again.
He dreamed of Su Yin; the dream was so beautiful that he couldn't wake up!
