The next day, the third day after He Hanzhu left, He's mother chatted and said that when she went out to pick up fish in the morning, she met an old lady from the Wang family, saying that Wang Tingzhi's engagement banquet yesterday was grand and many VIPs came. In addition to all the leading figures in the capital, many people came from other places.

After reposting various descriptions of the engagement banquet from the old lady of the Wang family, He Ma was still resentful of the accident on the eve. "I just felt a pity. Mr. Wang actually broke his appearance at this time! I heard that he was going to take photos with the lady from the girl in the family, but he couldn't take photos anymore. He agreed to make up for it in a few days."

He Ma said it was a pity.

Su Xue was absent-minded, listening while quickly flipping through the various hourly newspapers he had just asked He's mother to buy today.

Su Xuezhi didn't think much about Wang Tingzhi's behavior on the eve of the past, thinking that he was probably drunk and just lost his composure.

What really brought her an impact was the inside story she found out from him.

However, even if she knew where he was going, what could she do?

She couldn't do anything except wait for him to come back here.

She quickly browsed several Times today, but did not see any news about Rehe in the current affairs section.

It is very stupid to regard newspapers as the source of information. But apart from this indirect and lagging method, she has no other way to learn about the news of his trip.

Su Xuezhi slowly put down the newspaper, and the hidden worries in his heart did not relieve them at all.

There was a noise from the gate, as if someone came to the door.

Soon, Lao Lu came in and said a gentleman who claimed his surname was Fu and looked for Su Xuezhi.

Su Xuezhi was stunned and hurried out to greet the people. He saw a figure wearing a gray suit standing at the door from afar. It was indeed Fu Mingcheng.

She walked over quickly, invited him in, took him to the living room to take a seat, and mom gave him tea.

Fu Mingcheng explained that he came yesterday to attend the Wang family's engagement banquet. Because the woman and the Director of the General Administration of Customs were relatives and had daily contacts with Fu, he also received an invitation.

"I was going back today, but before leaving, I suddenly remembered you, so I came to see you. How was your friend visiting?" he asked her with a smile.

Only then did Su Xuezhi remember the excuse he left for a temporary change of mind that day. He paused and said that the visit had been completed.

Fu Mingcheng nodded: "So do you have any plans to go back? It's not a few days before the end of the year. If you plan to go back, I can wait for you and go back together, and there will be a companion on the way."

Su Xuezhi was thinking about how to find another excuse to politely decline the invitation, but when he heard him say, "You probably don't know yet. Your cousin Mr. Ye was hospitalized two days ago and he was only out of the hospital yesterday."

Su Xuezhi was shocked.

After she changed her mind that day, she found a free time, called her cousin, told her to go back as soon as possible before the end of the year, but the specific return date was not set, so she felt relieved. She did not contact her again in the following few days.

Unexpectedly, he was hospitalized?

"What's wrong with him?" Su Xuezhi immediately asked.

"It's not a big deal, don't worry," Fu Mingcheng immediately comforted her.

"The day before yesterday, he led people to hunt down a wanted murderer. The other party was extremely vicious. He stole a gun from his subordinates and held the citizens hostage. Mr. Ye stood up to protect the citizens and finally caught the murderer. However, he was shot in his arm. It was the principal who personally performed the surgery on him. Don't worry, the operation was very successful and there was no big problem. The bullet did not hurt the joints and there was no sign of infection in the future. I stayed in the hospital for two days and went home yesterday. I would be cured after recuperation. I went to the hospital to see him. He was afraid that you would worry if you knew it, and insisted on telling you..."

Su Xuezhi blamed herself. Before Fu Mingcheng finished speaking, she couldn't wait to stand up: "I'll go back now!"

She hurriedly packed up some of her belongings and explained them to He Ma. She immediately rushed back to Tiancheng with Fu Mingcheng that day. After the two separated, they returned to the rented house.

At the intersection of the alley, she saw a car parked, as if it was the one Helanxue usually took. When she went in, she met Wu Ma who was working in the He Mansion at the door of the yard.

Ma Wu was about to go out to buy vegetables, but said that she was sent by Ms. He and was temporarily serving Mr. Ye these days.

Su Xuezhi was extremely grateful and thanked him repeatedly. Wu Ma hurriedly said she didn't dare, pointed in and smiled, "Our lady is here too in the morning." After that, she went with a basket on her shoulder.

Su Xuezhi entered the house and saw his cousin sitting on the bed, wearing plaster with one hand and hanging it around his neck. Helanxue was beside him, peeling an apple. After peeling it, he cut it into delicate pieces with a knife, put it in a dish, and handed it to him.

Ye Xianqi took it with his good hand, opened his mouth and said it was delicious.

Helanxue said: "You can talk nonsense! You haven't eaten yet, how can you know it's delicious!" He turned his head and suddenly saw Su Xuezhi at the door. He was stunned and shouted in surprise: "Young Master Su, you are back!"

Su Xuezhi walked in and thanked her sincerely.

Helanxue suddenly felt relieved and whispered: "It's nothing. Our two families are relatives. You are not here. Mr. Su. It's inconvenient for Mr. Ye to be injured. I'm fine. Come and see it occasionally. It's okay..."

She paused.

"You should have something to say, right? Tell me, I'll go back first."

"Miss He, I'll give you a gift--" Ye Xianqi immediately wanted to get out of bed.

Su Xuezhi told him not to move, so he sent Helanxue out himself, walked to the car, the driver opened the door and asked her to get in the car, but Helanxue didn't get on, stopped, he hesitated, turned around and asked, "Master Su, I heard that my brother was going to go back with you, but now something suddenly happened. Did he tell you what he was doing this time?"

She bit her lip and explained: "In the past, he had a sudden outbreak of his home. Once he came back, he was a little injured. This time, he has not been a few days since the Chinese New Year, and he still has to go out. What is going on? I'm a little worried..."

She looked at Su Xuezhi, and her eyes showed a look of worry.

Su Xuezhi nodded and said, "I said that it's just a temporary ordinary errand, and he needs to go there in person. Don't worry."

She paused and added: "He will definitely be able to come back before the end of the year. Actually, I hadn't planned to come back yet. I made an appointment with your brother and waited for him there. I knew that my cousin was injured and I came back."

After hearing this, Helanxue finally let out a sigh and a smile appeared on her face: "That's good! Then I'm fine, Mr. Su, please go in quickly!"

Su Xuezhi nodded with a smile, watched her get in the car and leave, and then went in. Seeing that Ye Xianqi had already come out, she ran to the door.

"Cousin, how are you hurt? I'm so careless. I haven't contacted you these days, and I don't even know if something happened to you."

Su Xuezhi looked at his injured arm and felt a little guilty and scared.

Ye Xianqi didn't care and said that he was fine, reassuring her, and then asked: "Why are you back so soon? Didn't you say the end of the year? I thought you were going to stay there for a few more days!"

Judging from his tone, it seems that he is not very happy to reply by himself?

Su Xuezhi looked at him.

When Ye Xianqi saw his cousin looking at him, he felt guilty and quickly waved his hand: "Don't get me wrong! I don't mean not to welcome you back! It's great to come back. By the way, I told the principal and his wife that we would invite us over on New Year's Eve, go to their house to celebrate the New Year and have the New Year's Eve dinner!"

Su Xuezhi was originally worried that his cousin had rushed back. Seeing him jumping around and couldn't stay at home, as soon as He Lanxue left, he ran around with his arms hanging, and was taken care of by Wu Ma in daily life. It was really nothing big, so he felt relieved and remembered He Hanzhu again. Two days later, on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, she called Ding's Garden to ask, and was told that he had not come back yet.

It's only three days before New Year's Eve.

Can he come back?

Su Xuezhi didn't know whether he would fulfill his contract.

But what she said was like a promise she made, unless there was no way, she had to go back, as she promised him that day, and she was waiting for him.

Su Xuezhi visited the principal and his wife, then visited Professor Yu, sent some New Year's goods, and came back to tell her cousin that she was going to the capital again and set off today.

Ye Xianqi didn't understand: "What's wrong? You're going to run over again? In the evening, Mr. Fu treats you, the principal and the others go, and they call us, don't you go?"

Su Xuezhi said: "I have something else on my side. Please tell me and Mr. Fu."

Ye Xianqi was a little confused at first, but then he thought that his cousin had left. Maybe Miss He was worried about her injuries and came to visit her again. Wouldn't that be a good thing? He immediately changed his words: "Okay, okay, your business is important, just go, don't worry about me, I'm fine! I'll send you to the train station and help you get a ticket!"

Ye Xianqi accompanied Su Xuezhi to the train station, passed the previous sheriff and successfully got a ticket.

Su Xuezhi stood on the crowded platform, waiting.

The train entered the station and stopped slowly. The door opened, and passengers rushed to and from the platform.

Su Xuezhi found his carriage, waited for the crowded people, and went up a little. Just as he was about to follow, suddenly, someone behind him called him.

She turned around and saw that it was Fu Mingcheng who came.

He strode from the waiting room and chased to the platform. He seemed to have been running all the way, stopped in front of her, breathing slightly rapidly, looked at the train beside him that was about to head north, and said, "Are you going back to the capital?"

Su Xuezhi greeted him with a smile and nodded: "Yes!"

"Did you go back for He Hanzhu?"

Su Xuezhi was stunned.

She was surprised that he had guessed his purpose, and was even more surprised, how could he ask so bluntly.

This is not like the way he usually speaks.

He seemed to feel inappropriate, and he met her eyes, stroked his forehead, gasped, and said, "Sorry, I know this is your freedom, but I--"

Halfway through, he stopped, and seemed to have something unspeakable and could not say it for a moment.

He looked at her for a moment, as if he had finally made up his mind and spoke again: "Do you have to go? Originally, tonight, I wanted to..."

Not far away, a worker-like man walked out from behind a group of passengers who were getting on the bus, walked to the side of him who was talking, bowed, and asked respectfully: "May I ask, are you Mr. Fu?"

Fu Mingcheng was interrupted, turned his head and glanced at the person who came: "What's the matter?"

The worker stood up, and Su Xuezhi saw him pulling out a dagger from the hem of his clothes, and stabbed Fu Mingcheng's chest with lightning speed and stabbing directly into the heart of Fu Mingcheng's chest.

"Beware, he has a knife-" she screamed.

Fu Mingcheng was shocked and suddenly stepped back, raised his arm to block it, and used his other hand to pull out the gun he was carrying.

But it was still too late. The incident happened too suddenly. Although the dagger was blocked, it was finally inserted into his chest.

Amid the screams of people around, the worker pulled out a dagger and wanted to stab the second knife. Fu Mingcheng had already drawn his gun and shot the other party in the abdomen. The man covered his abdomen, pushed the passenger away, and stumbled and fled.

The gun in Fu Mingcheng's hand also fell down, his face turned pale, and the man slowly fell down.

Su Xuezhi rushed up, knelt on the ground, quickly took off his scarf, pressed the wound on his chest with his palms that could not stop bleeding. He raised his head and shouted at the stunned passengers around him: "Go and call the webmaster! I need help!"

The stationmaster learned that something happened on the platform and ran over. Seeing that Fu Mingcheng was stabbed, he was shocked and hurriedly called for someone. The bodyguards who were left outside by Fu Mingcheng also rushed in after the news. Under Su Xuezhi's command, a group of people transferred Fu Mingcheng to the car and sent it to the nearest Qinghe Hospital.

...

Rehe River leaves the provincial capital for more than 100 kilometers north of the province, and there is a garrison named Mujiaying. A few dozen miles northwest, there is a Fushou Lama Temple, which was originally a royal temple built here in the Qing Dynasty. Now it has changed. Although the incense is no longer as prosperous as before, the temple relies on the large number of manors and fields that were circled in the past to raise hundreds of lamas. They are all strong and fat, and are in sharp contrast with the yellowish-faced tenants who rent temples and manors to make a living.

On the evening of that day, a middle-aged man in yellow military uniform came out of the back door of the Lama Temple, but disappeared from the guards he brought in the afternoon. He looked around for a few times. With his intuition, he felt something was wrong. He quickly turned around while pulling out his gun and entering the temple. He turned around and was pushed by a hard thing behind his waist. Before he could react, the gun was taken off. Then, his eyes went dark and a hood fell down, and nothing could be seen.
