Chapter 676: Epilogue 30: Parting with you like this, watching from close range (3rd update)_3

The passing of Shi Haoran completely shattered Xu Xinzhen’s mental state; Shi Nian also exhibited similar psychological abnormalities.

She often experienced auditory hallucinations and illusions. When communicating with others, she wouldn’t speak but would close her eyes and extend her palm towards them.

If someone talked to her too much, she would often raise her finger to her lips and say, "Shh, don’t talk, I can’t understand."

During her time of recovery in the hospital, she seemed to immerse herself in her own little world, shyly smiling at the void, and then slowly opened her palm...

Everyone believed that Shi Nian, like Xu Xinzhen, couldn’t bear Shi Haoran’s death, and thus they both suffered from PTSD. Director Zheng had no choice but to personally authorize psychological intervention for the mother and daughter.

.

Meanwhile, the police also began investigating the circumstances surrounding the case.

Due to Shi Haoran’s family’s plight, Qi Xiuqi personally oversaw the case with reddened eyes.

Besides Gu Yong, whom Shi Haoran identified before his death, Qi Xiuqi also knew there were others present in the bunker that night, and he wanted to ferret them out one by one.

On the day following the explosion, local villagers reported to the police that they had found a young man unconscious in a nearby forest. From the smoke and burn marks on him, he might have been involved in the explosion that night.

This person was Tang Yanqing.

Qi Xiuqi intended to personally interrogate him, but unexpectedly, after being brought back by the police, the person disappeared. Director Zheng explained personally, saying he was merely a passerby near the scene of the blast, knocked unconscious by the sudden series of underground explosions.

At that time, Qi Xiuqi did not yet know that this person was Tang Yanqing.

Director Zheng spared Tang Yanqing only after tracing his entry records and discovering his alias was "Yan Qi."

Because of his identity as a national of M Country, the police sought assistance from the M Country police to investigate his identity background, which unexpectedly attracted the attention of the state police director, Tang Mingxiang. It turned out that he was Tang Mingxiang’s nephew. He had come to China under an alias to seek his roots, having been there only a few days, and he had arrived in China after Shi Nian’s kidnapping case had already occurred.

During the investigation, Director Zheng even mixed Tang Yanqing’s photo among a bunch of suspect images and showed them to Shi Nian for identification. Shi Nian identified Gu Yong and others she recognized, but her gaze blankly passed over this young man. This indicated that his involvement was not deep, so they granted Tang Mingxiang a favor and did not publicize Tang Yanqing’s situation, allowing Tang Mingxiang to take him away privately.

In handling this case, Director Zheng’s actions were technically inappropriate. However, he used this method to secure Tang Mingxiang’s cooperation: since Shi Haoran entrusted Nian Nian’s mother and daughter to Xiang Yuan, Xiang Yuan would definitely take them back to M Country.

It was easier to manage while they were in China; Director Zheng could use his influence to erase their household registrations. But in M Country, Director Zheng’s reach would be limited.

Therefore, to fulfill Old Shi’s last wish, he used this arrangement with Tang Mingxiang to ensure that after Shi Nian arrived in M Country, she would receive police cooperation and protection.

Thus, the truth of this matter was tacitly concealed by the two police chiefs, never revealed to outsiders. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

.

Everything seemed to be gradually settling. Tang Yanqing returned to M Country, and the police announced that the kidnapper was Gu Yong.

In the Jiangnan Ancient Town, Cijiang, a man lay in a hospital, having received several critical condition notices.

Even the small hospital’s doctors couldn’t understand why this well-dressed man, who was so gravely injured, didn’t go to a major city and a large hospital but insisted on coming to this small village and their small hospital instead.

Even his attendants, two equally handsome men, were in tears, begging the gentleman not to blame himself and to hold on.

This person was naturally Huangfu Huazhang.

He was rarely conscious, and when he was, he only asked about the situation of a young girl in a distant city.

At that time, coincidentally, renowned psychologists from across the country were invited to the city for an industry forum, granting them the chance to treat Shi Nian.

Regarding his situation, he only ever uttered one sentence: "If I really don’t make it this time, I have only one wish: I want a child with her."
