Chapter 406

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng washed and wiped down Luo Gong and Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang, changed them into clothes from their own hiking backpacks, and laid them out neatly on the bed, making them look solemn and peaceful.

The entire process was smooth and practiced; one could tell he had spent plenty of time sitting with Master Li for funeral rites and corpse cleaning.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan administered acupuncture to them separately and fed them the freshly decocted medicine, and the condition of both men was clearly eased.

Brother Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang was just too exhausted; a good sleep would basically solve the problem, as he had the physical fitness of a former diver, after all.

Luo Gong, however, needed a period of rest and quiet recuperation to replenish the lost essence, energy, and spirit, so as not to cause a deficiency for his later years.

Chen Lin arrived very quickly.

She bought many daily necessities, and after entering the room, she didn't look into the bedrooms but first asked Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin if anything else was needed; after receiving a satisfactory answer, she took the groceries she had bought into the kitchen.

Although she was born into a small family and had lived quite comfortably after leaving the family with her brother, she also had a high level of skill in cooking, and preparing a few home-cooked dishes was very simple for her.

The pager on Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's waist rang; he looked down at it and said:

"Brother Marquis Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan, my dad and the others are here."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan and Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng left the room, but didn't go downstairs, going to the roof to catch some breeze instead.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin greeted Chen Lin in the kitchen and closed the kitchen door.

Before long, Tan Tan Yunlong, wearing his police uniform, entered the residential compound with a group of officers and went upstairs.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin welcomed his police father inside.

They went through the standard procedure for a missing person case: confirming identities and completing statements; considering Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang's physical condition, the procedure was simplified.

Tan Tan Yunlong opened the door to the adjacent room slightly, looking at Luo Gong lying inside.

He knew clearly that the case level of Luo Gong's disappearance was even higher than Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang's, and that he was a key figure in Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang's disappearance case, but in the procedure, Luo Gong still had to be deliberately excluded.

Tan Tan Yunlong sniffed and pointed at the kitchen door, asking:

"Is Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun cooking?"

"Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun isn't here; it's Linlin."

"Is everything alright?"

"It's all resolved."

Tan Tan Yunlong nodded, took out a cigarette case, bit one for himself, and pulled one out for his son; Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin took out a lighter to light them.

After the father and son completed the cigarette-offering ritual, Tan Tan Yunlong left with his colleagues.

When passing the rockery pavilion in the center of the compound's greenery, Tan Tan Yunlong saw Yu Shu standing in the pavilion above, with an old man in white clothes following beside him.

The other party had said that he could ask his son about this disappearance case, and it turned out his son really had found them.

Yu Shu took the initiative to walk down.

Tan Tan Yunlong signaled his colleagues to wait a moment and walked over himself.

"Hard work, Director Tan."

"It's not hard work."

"That just shows your strong case-handling ability."

Tan Tan Yunlong frowned slightly and didn't speak; he understood that the other party meant the credit for this case still had to be counted on his head.

He didn't like to claim credit, even if it was his son's, but this seemed to be "forced by the situation," as the other party wanted a reasonable conclusion to this case.

Yu Shu: "Director Tan, what was the cause of the disappearance?"

Tan Tan Yunlong: "It still needs to be reviewed and confirmed."

Yu Shu: "It's best if it's not a physical or mental issue; it's not good for future career development."

Tan Tan Yunlong: "It is preliminarily believed to be a coma caused by food poisoning; he reported it to the police for help after he regained consciousness himself."

Yu Shu's Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face showed realization: "Oh, so that's how it is; no wonder."

Tan Tan Yunlong left.

Yu Shu turned back to look at the pavilion; the old gentleman Shangguan, who had been standing there, was now sitting on a bench with a hunched back.

Yu Shu hurried up and heard the old man's suppressed coughing sound as he covered his mouth with a handkerchief; when he moved it away, a pool of blood remained on the handkerchief.

"Old Gentleman Shangguan, you are..."

"There was a young man on the roof just now; I saw his features were refined and his temperament was extraordinary, so I impulsively wanted to calculate the young man's fate."

Yu Shu looked at the roof; there was no one there anymore, but he could roughly guess who that young man was.

"Old Gentleman Shangguan, you really need to change this habit."

"Indeed, it must be changed; each generation produces new talents. If that young man hadn't given me a hand, I wouldn't be sitting here now, but lying on the ground."

"Come, let me help you catch your breath."

"You don't find it strange? So you know that young man's identity? Could you help me introduce him?"

"It's not convenient."

"Oh, right, it's my own shallow learning that I have never been able to calculate his specific location. Fortunately, you found a truly capable person, otherwise, I would really have no Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face to answer for it. Alright, since the matter is settled, I will head back first. See you again."

"I'll arrange for someone to send you."

"No need for trouble; the two little ones at home are waiting outside. I'm fine, haha."

Watching the old man leave, Yu Shu tidied his clothes, adjusted his mindset, and went upstairs.

It was Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin who greeted him again.

After both parties entered, they exchanged bows.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "After the typhoon, I had intended to find Mr. Yu for a meal to fulfill the duties of a host, but I didn't expect Mr. Yu to leave just like that."

Yu Shu laughed: "The typhoon was too strong and blew the tree away."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Come, it's here, Mr. Yu can check."

Yu Shu first checked Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang, then went to the next room to focus on checking Luo Gong.

"I'm sorry, I really had no other way, so I had to ask through Director Tan..."

"My own teacher, my own senior brother—this is our duty. The one in my family said that if there are such things in the future, I hope Mr. Yu will inform us earlier."

"Yes, it is I, Yu, who was slow to act."

"The one in my family also said that if there are other matters, Mr. Yu can also inform us; there is no need to be formal."

Yu Shu shook his head: "I have never been formal, nor can I be."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin said apologetically: "It was my slip of the tongue."

Yu Shu left; he tacitly agreed that leaving Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang and Luo Gong here would ensure they received the most appropriate care.

Not long after he left, Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You, who had finished delivering medicine to Lu Yi at the infirmary, returned.

Just as they left, Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You returned after delivering medicine to Lu Yi at the infirmary.

"Brother Bin, what is it?"

"The blind date arranged for you by the family—the person came and went straight into the kitchen to cook. You should go and keep her company or help out, otherwise it will look like we are being arrogant and lacking in etiquette."

"Brother Bin, you're making that joke again."

"Heh, I don't want to, but I can't help it when you keep creating them."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin raised his foot and kicked Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You lightly.

A You opened the door and entered the kitchen.

Seeing Chen Lin busy in the kitchen, A You stood behind her, feeling a bit awkward, his hands unable to stop rubbing together.

"Um... do you need any help?"

Chen Lin turned back, gave Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You a soft and beautiful smile, and said:

"My cooking is average; just help me eat more later."

"Don't worry about that, I can eat a lot!"

Chen Lin wiped her hands, walked up to Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You, and helped him straighten his collar:

"Alright, go to the living room and watch TV; it's just a few simple dishes, no need for help."

"That won't do; you're busy in the kitchen, how can I go watch TV."

"Then help me watch the stove fire; don't let it get too low, and definitely don't let it go out."

"Then help me watch the stove fire; don't let it get low, and definitely don't let it go out."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You began to stare intently at the gas stove.

The meal was ready; Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You brought it out and then naturally wanted to sit next to Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Go, go, sit over there; it's your first time meeting, deepen your understanding of each other."

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You blushed and sat down next to Chen Lin.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin said to Chen Lin: "You've really worked hard."

Chen Lin smiled while handing the large, thick incense sticks she had bought to Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng as if they were green onions:

"It's not hard work; I'm very happy to be able to help."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Then please continue to work hard for a few more days. The prescription is there, and the medicine has been bought. You are responsible for decocting the medicine and feeding it to them every day. A You will also stay here to be responsible for security."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin said, "Then I'll have to trouble you for a few more days. The prescription is there, and the medicine has been bought. You are responsible for decocting the medicine and feeding it to them daily, and Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You will also stay here to be responsible for security."

After the meal, the sky grew dark.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan didn't continue to stay here, but planned to return to school.

When Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin was preparing to hail a taxi at the entrance of the residential compound, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan said:

"Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin, go attend to your business."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Tomorrow, perhaps."

Chen Lin was only kept because she could help and counted as half a person from the world of the supernatural; Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin didn't want to go see Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun today—it was a matter of personal feelings.

Chen Lin was kept because she could help and counted as half a person of the jianghu; Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin did not want to go see Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun today, as it was a matter of romantic feelings.

It is not about posturing as a saint, but if one fails to distinguish between public and private matters, work cannot proceed smoothly; he is the one shouting from the bow, so he must lead by example.

"It's still early, just ripples, no rush. Also, you need to go back and see your parents; Uncle Tan is also part of the work."

"Alright, then I'll head home for a bit."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin hailed a car, let Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge and Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng get in, and then hailed another one to return home.

While going upstairs, he ran into Tan Tan Yunlong, who had also just finished work and returned home.

Tan Tan Yunlong: "A rare guest."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Long time no see."

The father and son tacitly avoided talking about the day's work and entered the home after going upstairs.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Zheng Fang and Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun were inside, serving dishes onto the dining table.

It was inconvenient for Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun to return to her own rented apartment, so she came to Zheng Fang's place.

Zheng Fang looked at Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin, clapped her hands on her apron, and shouted:

"Oh my, oh my, the son-in-law has arrived, a rare guest, a rare guest!"

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin rubbed his nose in some embarrassment.

Although he had just eaten, having another meal was no problem at all.

After the meal, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin and Tan Tan Yunlong sat on the balcony, smoked a few cigarettes, and chatted lightly with a bit of innuendo.

Zheng Fang urged Tan Tan Yunlong to go fix the bathroom toilet.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin and Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun went downstairs for a stroll; there was a pedestrian street outside, and at this hour, it was at its busiest.

Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun chatted about her studies and research projects, and after listening, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"With you like this, won't it be too tiring?"

Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun: "Not at all, I don't have to be like other classmates, busy with dating."

The relationship between the two had long been established; Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun studied in Jin Ling, while Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin primarily resided in Nantong. One spent more time at the future in-laws', and the other visited the future mother-in-law's place frequently.

Everything fell into place naturally, waiting only for the wedding after graduation. Perhaps in some people's eyes, such an arrangement lacks the anxiety of the unknown and the excitement of anticipation, but there are people in this world who cherish this kind of stable happiness that one can see to the end at a single glance. Looking back, no matter how many waves and setbacks there are, they cannot compare to the phrase "from school uniform to wedding dress."

Tired from walking, they sat down by the flower bed in the center of the pedestrian street. Nearby, there were children's play facilities, and many parents were there playing with their children.

Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun rested her head on Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's shoulder, and the two quietly watched the others, longing for their own little home in the future.

"Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin, I had a dream a while ago."

"What dream?"

"Don't laugh at me when I say it, otherwise I'll hit you."

"Then hit me first; I'm already prepared to laugh."

Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun brushed the hair from her forehead:

"I dreamed that in the future, we would have two children."

"Boys or girls?"

"If I say they are both boys, will you think I favor boys over girls?"

"I like girls; having two little class monitors and watching them grow up would be quite interesting. If they were boys like me, sigh, I'd have a headache."

"They are two boys, very much like you."

"Then we're doomed; I'll have to buy a good belt later, I'm afraid they won't be able to take a beating."

"They are very well-behaved, really."

"They aren't even born yet, and you're already spoiling them." Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin gritted his teeth at the mention of his "adolescent self," "Let me tell you, they must be beaten, beaten hard. It doesn't matter if their studies aren't good, but their character must be upright."

"They are excellent at their studies. In the dream, they kept skipping grades, and then the university admissions officers even ran to our house to fight over them."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's cheeks puffed out as he tried hard to hold it in, but in the end, he couldn't, and he burst into loud laughter:

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's cheeks puffed out as he tried hard to hold it in, but in the end, he still couldn't contain himself and burst into laughter:

Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun clenched her fist and pounded Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's chest, dissatisfied: "Hey, what are you laughing at, what are you laughing at!"

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin wiped his tears and explained:

"Are you dreaming that we gave birth to two Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ges in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but laugh herself.

She also thought that it must have been the experience of being classmates with Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan that left too deep an impression on her, causing her to unconsciously project that into her dream about children.

After a long while, both of them calmed down.

Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun sighed: "If only this dream were true, how wonderful that would be."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Hey hey hey, Comrade Class Monitor, this thinking of yours is very dangerous. You can't be disappointed just because the kids' grades aren't excellent in the future, right?"

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Hey, hey, hey, Comrade Squad Leader, your way of thinking is very dangerous. You can't be disappointed just because your future child's grades aren't outstanding enough, right?"
