Fang Xi stared at Yun Nan with wide eyes. “Yes! We must! Tell me, where to?”

“…Lan Long!” was her answer.

(At the hospital)

Shi Xiu looked at Xiang Yang sitting quietly under the window basking in the sunlight. The scene was as beautiful as a painting. Shi Ke walked over and gently draped a sweater over her shoulders. Xiang Yang turned to glance at him before docilely resting her head on his shoulder.

Shi Ke picked her up in a bridal carry and tenderly planted a kiss on her forehead. “Xiang Yang,” he said. “Let’s go home.” Xiang Yang made no reaction and let Shi Ke carry her, as if insensate to everything.

“Still no improvement?” Shi Xiu asked the nurse beside her in a low voice. The nurse shook her head lightly.

Shi Xiu sighed. Xiang Yang couldn’t bear to see anyone other than her big brother. The smallest noises or the littlest disturbances would make her curl up into a ball and scream. The physical wounds on her body had healed long ago, but they don’t know where to start with healing the wounds in her heart.

They had indeed captured some people during the battle at the villa, but the captives hadn’t provided any useful information. Shi Ke and his men hadn’t even obtained any evidence that could be used to testify against Lan Long.

Even though they all knew that Lan Long was the mastermind.

However, Lan Long had already cleaned up his background thoroughly. There was nothing to show that his life had any intersection with Xiang Yang’s at all. Their trail had gone cold.

Shi Xiu walked aimlessly along the hospital’s tree-lined walkway as she thought about this, feeling depressed.

“Yang Yang! Yang Yang!” a near-sobbing voice suddenly cried out from the woods beside her.

Shi Xiu suddenly had a thought. She hastily ran into the woods and saw an old man standing there with a bewildered expression, looking around helplessly, and all the while muttering, “Yang Yang, Yang Yang…”

Shi Xiu saw that the old man was about to fall so she stepped forward to support him. The old man’s eyes lit up when he saw her. “Yang Yang! Yang Yang! I’ve finally found you! I finally found you! Quick, take me away from here. This place is full of bad people! They’re all bad people!”

Yun Nan stared at Shi Xiu and Old Master Lan, who were standing before her, in shock. “You—! This—! He—”

Shi Xiu pushed her aside and turned around to gently say, “Grandpa, let’s hide here first.”

Old Master Lan smiled happily at Yun Nan and called her, “Yang Yang, Yang Yang!” Shi Xiu and Yun Nan looked at each other.

Old Master Lan entered the house and looked around curiously, touching things here and there. He got to the kitchen doorway, pointed at the pot, and cried, “Hungry! Hungry! Yang Yang, hungry!”

Shi Xiu and Yun Nan hurriedly went forward. One of them helped the old man sit down at the dining table while the other quickly said, “I’ll get you something to eat!”

Yun Nan hectically brought some fruits and snacks to the old man, but the old man patted his stomach and bawled, “Hungry! Hungry! Yang Yang, make dumplings! Dumplings!”

“Oh, okay, Grandpa, okay. I’ll make some right away. You have to wait a bit, alright?” Looking at the old man throwing a tantrum like a child, Yun Nan and Shi Xiu hurriedly coaxed him gently.

The old man was very obedient and settled down straight away. He then grinned at Shi Xiu. “Watch the television, little television!”

Shi Xiu understood what he meant immediately and replied, “Alright, alright.” She took out her tablet and played a cartoon under the old man’s “instructions.” The old man, who had been fussing just now, immediately quieted down as he stared at the screen.

Yun Nan, who was cooking dumplings, waved Shi Xiu over to the kitchen. She whispered, “What’s going on? Isn’t that Lan Long’s grandfather? Isn’t he supposed to be in the hospital?”

Shi Xiu recounted what had happened. “Old Master Lan said that he wanted to leave with me. He said that he was surrounded by bad people. I—ok, so, I really want to know what’s going on behind this! So I brought him here.”

Yun Nan frowned. “What if the Lan family calls the police?”

Shi Xiu bit her lip. “It’s not like I kidnapped him.” Shi Xiu suddenly changed the topic. “Yun Nan, why does Old Master Lan keep calling for Yang Yang? Who’s Yang Yang? Why does he call me Yang Yang, and call you Yang Yang, too?”

‘Since Shi Xiu already brought him here, it’s better to let the old man eat his fill first,’ Yun Nan thought. When Shi Xiu asked those questions, Yun Nan was also stumped and shook her head. “I’ve seen the old man twice in the hospital. He also called me Yang Yang then. Lan Long seemed to be quite resigned to it.”

As she spoke, Yun Nan brought the dumplings she had cooked over and called for the old man to come eat. Shi Xiu coaxed him into putting down the tablet and coming to the dining table to eat.

“Are they stuffed with pork, shrimp, and corn?” asked Old Master Lan as he looked at the dumplings on the plate. Yun Nan was momentarily startled before she nodded.

Old Master Lan immediately beamed in joy and ordered, “Fetch me my fennel sauce!”

Under Shi Xiu’s surprised gaze, Yun Nan took out a box of sauce from the refrigerator and placed it before the old man, and the old man ate happily.

Shi Xiu looked at Yun Nan and asked softly, “Yun Nan, why do you have such a strange sauce?”
