Chapter 772: Headless Male Corpse
Chapter 772: Headless Male Corpse
After eating a few mouthfuls, Jia Yunhan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and pointed at Jia Yunshen in disbelief, "You..."
The smile on Jia Yunshen's lips grew wider and wider. "Jia Yunhan, it's not that I want to kill you, it's that you brought this upon yourself."
Isn't it good to stay here? Why do you always want to go out?
Xie Chang'an already suspects your existence. The only safe place in this world is the dead, so you must die.
Jia Yunshen put the curio cabinet back in its place and went out under the cover of night, but his mother summoned him, so he had to go.
He returned home exhausted in the early hours of the morning, took a shower, and then applied another layer of Ningyu Cream to his right arm.
This stuff can not only heal wounds, but also remove scars.
Luo Ning, Xie Chang'an, so what if you suspect me? Where's the evidence?
A sinister glint flashed in Jia Yunshen's eyes. "Xie Chang'an, you've been taking my woman for years, it's time to give her back to me!"
At four o'clock in the morning, Jia Yunshen went out and brought a tall man home with him.
As dawn broke, the situation in the military region suddenly became tense.
A headless male corpse was found in the river behind the military region.
Jia Yunshen sensed something was wrong and hurriedly opened the curio cabinet. He found that the bricks inside had not been pried open and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Many people were invited to the military headquarters for investigation.
Xie Chang'an, Ren Deyi, Shen Da'an and others were in the first wave.
Then came the officers of Yang Zheng's regiments, and even high-ranking officers in the military headquarters were not spared.
Rumors kept flying around like wildfire, claiming that a seasoned spy had infiltrated Jidu, possessing superhuman abilities, capable of scaling walls and taking heads as easily as picking something out of a bag.
The rumors were getting increasingly outlandish, but Luo Ning remained calmly at home recovering from his injury.
Since that unpleasant parting with Xie Chang'an, the two have never seen each other again.
It's better not to meet than to meet.
In the capital city, at the Jin family home, Jin Yuan had just returned from school when the housekeeper rushed out. "Miss Sun, there's a call from the prison. Your mother wants to see you!"
"What's the reason this is?" Jin Yuan was a bit overwhelmed; she went to the prison more often than she went home.
"She misses you and wants to see you. She's been on a hunger strike lately," Uncle Fu reported in detail.
"Oh, I'll go right now!" Jin Yuan immediately put down her schoolbag and hurried out the door.
The butler shook his head; he had been standing by the phone the whole time, afraid of missing anything.
The eldest young master has been gone for several days and there has been no news of him. All indications suggest that he disappeared on the night Luo Ning's son went missing.
Jin Yuan went to the prison, listened to her mother's tearful complaints, and returned home dejectedly.
She started school and didn't have much time to go to Jidu. When she called the hospital, the women there would make all sorts of excuses and run away as soon as they heard her voice, and they wouldn't help her call Dr. Ling at all.
Today, her mother scolded her again for not finding a way to let her out, and Jin Yuan felt helpless.
Even now, her mother still doesn't understand why.
Her grandfather and father both warned her that she shouldn't go there and risk bad luck.
Bored out of her mind, Jin Yuan dialed Jin Huan's number. "Huanhuan, do you believe me now? Luo Ning is a monster who can suck souls."
She whispered in his ear and persuaded her brother-in-law to get back on his feet.
When the Jidu Military Region got into trouble, my brother-in-law was among the first to be investigated.
The castle of hesitation in Jin Huan's heart continued to crumble, cracking open.
Three days later, Xie Chang'an and the others were released.
They returned to Xie Chang'an's house together and started whispering in the study.
"Commander, what kind of luck do we have? We finally came up with a good plan to search Jia Yunshen's house, but then a headless corpse suddenly appeared in the river in the military region. There wasn't a single recognizable feature on its body. Can you believe how infuriating this is?"
Luo Yizhen shifted restlessly, as if thorns had grown on the chair.
"Although our plan has fallen through this time, I heard that Jia Yunshen has been reported!" Ye revealed a set of bright white teeth and smiled sinisterly.
"What are you reporting?" Shen Da'an immediately became interested and leaned closer to Ye to ask curiously.
"Is it because he has a twin brother?"
Ye glanced at him, somewhat surprised. "This is firsthand information. How did you know this?"
Shen Da'an looked mysterious and extremely smug. "You have your channels, and I have my sources of information. I don't know who's so stupid as to report this. It's completely baseless."
Jia Yunshen was an only child, and a posthumous child at that. His mother, to protect him from hardship, never remarried and raised him alone all these years.
Although Xie Chang'an was standing by the window, he heard every single punctuation mark.
Twin brother, who did this? Do you even need to think about it?
"Everyone disperse!" Xie Chang'an waved his hand and rushed towards the bedroom.
"Hey, don't go! We need to discuss again how to find Erbao and Xiaobao from Jia Yunshen!" Ye stood up and quickly chased after him.
The sound of the bedroom door slamming shut made him feel particularly frustrated.
Xie Chang'an has no sense of propriety at all. He's not worried about his son going missing; he's busy trying to appease his wife.
As soon as Xie Chang'an entered the room, he heard creaking sounds, and his heart skipped a beat as he looked toward the bed.
Erbao and Xiaobao are exploring, climbing all over Luoning.
"Wife, how did they get back?" Xie Chang'an could hardly believe his eyes. He closed his eyes and found that the two children were still there.
Xiao Bao excitedly crawled over and reached out his hands for a hug.
Luo Ning didn't want to talk to Xie Chang'an. She was a little tired after playing with the child for so long, so she pulled up the blanket and closed her eyes.
Erbao sat there in a daze for a while, then crawled to Luoning's side and closed his eyes as well.
Xie Chang'an walked over, picked up Xiao Bao, and sighed inwardly; his wife was still angry...
Xiao Bao giggled incessantly, climbing up Xie Chang'an as he stepped on him.
The child seemed to have lost a lot of weight, but didn't appear to be sick. Xie Chang'an's anxiety finally eased a little.
Luo Ning fell asleep quickly, and the two children, tired as well, also fell asleep one after another.
Xie Chang'an closed the door and left quietly.
When he returned home that evening, Luo Ning and Jin Sheng were each holding a child, feeding them rice cereal mixed with vegetable porridge and egg yolk.
Erbao and Xiaobao ate with gusto, their little mouths opening again as soon as they swallowed a bite, waiting to be fed.
The second child was quite composed and ate his meal quietly.
Xiao Bao is a bit restless; he's always wiggling his bottom while waiting for his food.
Jin Sheng's presence displeased Xie Chang'an; why was this man here again?
Luo Ning didn't seem inclined to acknowledge Xie Chang'an, creating an awkward atmosphere.
Jin Sheng nodded to Xie Chang'an, hesitating whether or not to let Xie Chang'an feed him.
"Uncle Jin, go and rest after you finish feeding Xiao Bao. You've been exhausted these past few days." Luo Ning's words nipped his idea in the bud, completely ignoring Xie Chang'an.
"Okay!" Jin Sheng nodded, unable to hide his joy.
Luo Ning changed his tune, which is a big step forward, and he should keep up the good work.
Xie Chang'an touched his nose and walked over, sitting down next to Luo Ning, reaching out to take Erbao.
Erbao looked at him, then at Luoning, and decisively chose to stay in Luoning's arms.
He didn't want to leave when it was finally his mother's turn to feed him.
Xiao Bao was busy eating his delicious food, completely ignoring Xie Chang'an.
Xie Chang'an was extremely embarrassed; he was being shunned by the whole family.
After feeding the children and taking care of their physical needs, Luo Ning pushed the two children back to the bedroom.
Xie Chang'an immediately followed, but just as he was about to reach the door, the door was blown shut in front of him by the wind.
Xie Chang'an/Jin Sheng, "..."
