Lin Yurong, upon hearing this, was momentarily stunned, displaying a look of melancholy in her eyes, as if a certain scene had come to mind.
She bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I, I still want to see him..."
Jiangli said decisively, "Alright, I’ll let Chief Xun know, and we can head over now."
Lin Yurong expressed her gratitude with a thanks.
Jiangli re-established contact with Xun Tianhai, confirmed the time to meet with Lin Yaozu, changed clothes, and temporarily housed Lin Yurong in the Soul Nurturing Talisman.
After leaving the room, Jiangli planned to find Xia Xin.
But upon exiting, she saw Fu Shiyan standing by the door, leaning against the wall with closed eyes, as if resting while standing.
Before Jiangli could speak, he seemed to sense her presence and opened his eyes to look at her, his deep gaze misted slightly.
Jiangli asked in confusion, "President Fu, why are you here?"
"It’s already noon," Fu Shiyan said, rubbing his temples. "I wanted to ask the Abbot if she needed to join me for lunch. But thinking she might be resting, I didn’t disturb her."
If you didn’t want to disturb, why didn’t you just go and rest?
Why stay here the whole time?
Jiangli didn’t understand why Fu Shiyan chose to stay, but it seemed inappropriate to ask. She skipped the matter and said directly, "No lunch for me, I have to make a trip to the police station."
"What happened?" Fu Shiyan approached Jiangli and asked, guessing, "Any news?"
Jiangli hummed in affirmation, "Chief Xun called. He said Lin Yaozu came to identify a body and asked me to come along. I want to take Lin Yurong to see him once."
Fu Shiyan glanced at his watch. "We have enough time. I’ll take the Abbot there, and shall we go to lunch together afterward?"
Jiangli immediately chuckled heh heh, "Will the food be good?"
Fu Shiyan couldn’t help but smile, "Yes, good food."
Jiangli: "Then great! Let’s hurry!"
She grabbed Fu Shiyan’s arm as if to save time and briskly walked forward with him, eager to finish the business at the police station and then go for the meal.
Fu Shiyan watched her excited demeanor with a silent smile, his gaze resting on the small hand Jiangli had placed on his wrist, his eyebrows slightly stirring.
As Jiangli pulled Fu Shiyan along, she took out her phone and sent a message to Xia Xin, asking him to come and meet up.
After sending the message, Jiangli thought of Duan Jianchuan and asked subconsciously, "President Fu, are you going to call Duan Jianchuan?"
Fu Shiyan’s eyes darkened imperceptibly for a moment, "Does the Abbot want to invite him?"
"I don’t care," Jiangli’s tone was indifferent, "I just thought, isn’t he always with you, President Fu?"
Catching a glimpse of Jiangli’s reaction, Fu Shiyan lifted the corner of his mouth, "No need, we won’t include him today."
Jiangli shrugged, "Whatever you say, I don’t mind either way."
Seeing she truly seemed indifferent about Duan Jianchuan, Fu Shiyan silently dismissed the idea of sending Duan Jianchuan back to the military early.
Jiangli had no idea that her casual response had almost determined whether Duan Jianchuan would be sent off to a remote military unit.
She waited at the elevator with Fu Shiyan for a while and Xia Xin soon hurried over.
Fu’er floated aimlessly behind him.
"Ancestor, what’s the sudden call for? What happened?" Xia Xin ran over in one breath. The message from Jiangli had been unclear, just telling him to come over, and he had no clue what had happened.
Jiangli replied, "We need to go to the police station. You’ll know when we get there."
Xia Xin patted his chest, catching his breath, nodded, and didn’t ask further. He followed Jiangli and Fu Shiyan into the elevator.
The group set off for the police station while Duan Jianchuan had no idea about the plans of Fu Shiyan and Jiangli. At this moment, he was still resting in the hotel.
