After searching An Xiaotong's house thoroughly, Zhou Bing walked towards the front door with nothing to show for it, and his eyes met those of Luo Yan, who was standing on the wall.
Zhou Bing exclaimed in shock; her face was as pale as paper in the moonlight.
Xiang Yu's madness in choosing to die together with others made Luo Yan realize that An Xiaotong's death was not an accident but murder, and the trigger was the notebook that Liu Jingqiu and Li Tai each had.
The people who received funding in the notes were all pawns that Xiang Yu had arranged long ago. However, as time went on, the pawns became unwilling to be manipulated any longer, and some even regretted surrendering. Therefore, Xiang Yu was bound to die sooner or later, while An Xiaotong was implicated entirely because of the actions of the adults.
After Xiang Yu lost her notebook, she lost her last chance to live. So Xiang Yu strapped on explosives to go to Shen Suyin to negotiate, but it was just a desperate struggle before death. If she didn't die, those who didn't want to be controlled by her anymore would kill her.
Finding Zhou Bing at An Xiaotong's house was still quite unexpected for Luo Yan.
Zhou Bing recognized Luo Yan and ran out of the house in a panic.
It was quiet outside; there was no one else around.
It is truly unbelievable that a little baby would appear alone on the wall of a house where someone had just died, without any adult protection.
Could it be that the Luo Yan she saw wasn't human? Otherwise, how could such a small child have gotten up there?
Zhou Bing ran away in a panic, not knowing where to go.
Luo Yan was certain that Zhou Bing couldn't escape, so she didn't chase after her and continued to wait on the wall.
"Come down..." Luo Shicheng called to Luo Yan from under the wall.
When Luo Shicheng discovered that Luo Yan had sneaked out, he immediately called Chen Yuanshan to follow her.
After Luo Yan released Zhou Bing, Luo Shicheng ordered Chen Yuanshan to arrest Zhou Bing and send her for investigation, while he went to the wall to meet Luo Yan.
Luo Yan jumped into Luo Shicheng's arms and was slapped twice on the bottom by Luo Shicheng.
Why didn't you tell me you were going out?
Luo Yan was both ashamed and embarrassed after being hit. "I guessed."
I'm here based on guesswork, without any evidence. Would you come if I asked you to?
Luo Shicheng: "You have to tell me even if you're just guessing."
After saying that, Luo Shicheng carried Luo Yan home. Luo Yan said, "There's still..."
Zhou Bing is definitely not alone; he will surely have accomplices coming.
“Your father Chen has gone to find someone to keep an eye on things, so you don’t need to worry about the children.”
Luo Shicheng carried Luo Yan home. Fortunately, everyone in the family was still asleep, and no one noticed that the father and daughter had been gone.
The following day, Hua Li took Luo Yan and Xiao Xiu to kindergarten.
Lin Qingping received the news of An Xiaotong's death and hid in her office crying all morning. When she came out to pick up her child from kindergarten, her eyes were swollen.
Xiao Xiu noticed Lin Qingping's unusual behavior and took out his clean handkerchief to hand to Lin Qingping.
Luo Yan noticed that Lin Qingping's eyelashes were wet with tears and her face was pale. Knowing that it was because of An Xiaotong, she took out a piece of candy and put it in Lin Qingping's hand.
With a handkerchief in her left hand and candy in her right, Lin Qingping watched Luo Yan and Xiao Xiu walk hand in hand into the building. The sadness in her eyes lessened considerably, and she smiled in response to each child's innocent greeting, "Good morning, Principal!"
Luo Yan walked into the classroom, sat down with Xiao Xiu, and took out a high school history book from her bag, reading it with great interest.
Lin Qingping came in and noticed Luo Yan reading a book. She walked over and looked at it for a while, only to find that it was a high school history book. She was shocked and asked Luo Yan a question.
"Yanyan, can you understand it?"
Luo Yan nodded.
A three-year-old can't possibly understand high school textbooks!
Lin Qingping pointed to a few places and asked Luo Yan to read them.
She can't even speak clearly, so how can she read?
After waiting for a long time, Luo Yan still couldn't read it, and Lin Qingping laughed.
She said that such a young child could not possibly understand it; he was just pretending to be an adult.
Lin Qingping took the book from Luo Yan's hand. "College entrance exam study materials are very valuable. Your teacher will keep them safe for you and return them to your parents when they come to pick you up."
Luo Yan: "No, it's mine!"
My mom already agreed to let her read this book, but Lin Qingping is just causing trouble.
Lin Qingping took the book and placed it at the top of the exhibition corner to prevent the children from getting it and tearing it.
"Who says babies can't read books, study, and take the college entrance exam?" Luo Yan thought, feeling frustrated.
"Yanyan..." Qian Erpang called to Luo Yan from the doorway.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yan saw that it was Qian Erpang and pulled Xiao Xiu along to walk over.
Qian Erpang whispered to Luo Yan, "I saw the person you drew on your paji yesterday. She was chatting with the former headmaster in the park."
Luo Yan immediately took out five White Rabbit candies from her handbag and put them in Qian Erpang's hand, making Qian Erpang beam with joy.
Xiao Xiu was very close and could hear what Qian Erpang was saying.
"Here's a reward for you. Remember to rinse your mouth after you eat, or you'll get cavities."
Qian Erpang agreed and left happily.
Before long, more children from the compound came to find Luo Yan, all saying they had seen Xiang Yu. Much of the information was repetitive, but as long as they mentioned it, they would get candy.
Even the children in the middle class, who were from the compound, received candy just like everyone else who mentioned Xiang Yu.
Lin Qingping wasn't there. Later, I heard from the childcare worker that Luo Yan had given out more than a pound of candy that morning, so I took Luo Yan to the office for her class.
Listening to Lin Qingping scolding parents for not earning money easily, forbidding them from giving things away to others, and especially forbidding them from touching their precious study materials, Luo Yan's attention was completely focused on the group photo on Lin Qingping's desk.
In the photo, a middle-aged woman is sitting in a chair, with Lin Qingping, who is in her early twenties, and Dr. Li standing behind her.
Luo Yan leaned closer, pointing to the photo, "Doctor."
Lin Qingping picked up the photo frame and glanced at it, then fiercely threatened Luo Yan, "Yes, if you don't behave, I'll have the doctor give you an injection."
Children are afraid of injections, so scaring a doctor is the most effective method.
She's not a real child, who is she trying to scare? Luo Yan was speechless.
Luo Yan pointed to the middle-aged woman sitting in the middle of the photo, "Mom..."
Lin Qingping sighed, "Yes, that's Li Huaiyuan's mother."
Oh, she's not Lin Qingping's mother. Then why is Lin Qingping so familiar with Dr. Li's family?
Luo Yan pointed at Lin Qingping in the photo, "Sister..."
“I’m not his sister, I’m his aunt.”
Lin Qingping looked dejected. "It's such a pity that my sister died so young."
Seemingly lost in memories, Lin Qingping spoke with regret.
"Back then, she took care of An Xiaotong for a while to earn more money to supplement her family's income, but alas..."
What? Dr. Li's mother is the same Aunt Gao who took care of An Xiaotong back then? Does that mean Dr. Li was also behind the incident that happened to her parents?
Lin Qingping muttered to herself, "My cousin's passing was so sudden, and so was An Xiaotong's. It's really hard to accept."
Did Dr. Li's mother die suddenly? That means she might have been murdered, just like An Xiaotong.
"Grab me?"
Meeting Luo Yan's clear gaze, Lin Qingping shook her head with a wry smile, "She died suddenly from an illness, not from some bad guy. Who are you going to arrest?"
Could it be Dr. Li, who knows how to prepare medicine, who did it? But why would Dr. Li do that?
Luo Yan left Lin Qingping's office with questions in her mind and immediately took out paper and pen to draw a portrait of Aunt Gao.
