Father and son both had the sa suspicion in their hearts: Could it be that the person who really knew the truth was Xia Lan?
And Xia Lan had inadvertently told Cao Guihua about the situation?
Soon after, Ou ZhenTing pondered for a mont and said, "Junjun, you just ntioned you wanted to go to Ling County, is it to investigate the matter?"
"Yes," Ou Jun replied with a nod upon hearing this.
He had no intention of keeping his father in the dark.
Seeing this, Ou ZhenTing pondered a bit more, then said to his son, "Junjun, all this while, you’ve had one foot in the military, and the other in searching for Jiao Jiao."
"You haven’t paid much attention to the political situation."
Fearing his son might not grasp his aning, Ou ZhenTing directly explained, "Recently, soone from above wants us to take sides, but we have maintained neutrality."
"In such circumstances, to prevent us from switching to the opposition, they might, possibly, take action against us..."
Upon hearing this, Ou Jun was suddenly shocked. Then, his expression slowly beca grave and after a long while, he said, "I understand."
His father’s aning was clear: regarding Cao Guihua’s matter, whether it was suicide or murder—it was most important that they don’t give others the opportunity to criticize them.
Therefore, regarding Xia Lan’s matter, they had to be extrely cautious; without any evidence, they couldn’t act rashly.
"You must rember what your father says—no matter what, we must not jump to conclusions about any matter without solid evidence," Ou ZhenTing said, looking aningfully at his son, and continued, "Junjun, do you understand what I’m saying?"
"Dad, I understand," Ou Jun replied earnestly. "Dad, I bought a ticket for tomorrow to Ling County..."
As he spoke, Ou Jun seed sowhat guilty.
By leaving now, wasn’t he leaving his father alone in the Capital City to deal with Cao Guihua’s matter?
Seeing his son like this, Ou ZhenTing chuckled and said, "What is there to apologize for?"
"Just go and search for Jiao Jiao. In our family, Jiao Jiao’s matter is of utmost importance."
"As for Cao Guihua’s matter, a verdict has actually been reached—she committed suicide out of fear of her cris."
After a brief pause, Ou ZhenTing instructed, "What I just analyzed to you is just to tell you that, in our next actions, we need to be a bit more careful."
It’s just preparation for any eventuality, not that a problem has actually arisen.
After speaking with his son, Ou Jun made up a reason to say goodbye to his mother and headed directly to H province in the Southern region.
Not long after Ou Jun had set off, Xia Chuyi and Xia Chengzong finally arrived at Ling County.
After barely managing to sort out their luggage, Xia Chuyi and his companion went straight to the hospital.
In the hospital, it was the care worker who was looking after Mother Xia.
It had to be said that this beating had probably been a great shock to Mother Xia; she seed sowhat out of it.
"Mom," Xia Chengzong said as soon as he entered the hospital room.
Mother Xia, who had been in a daze, snapped back to reality upon hearing Xia Chengzong’s voice and asked in surprise, "Chengzong, how did you co back?"
"Weren’t you going to Beijing?"
"I did go, but as soon as I arrived in Beijing, I turned back."
"Ah, Chengzong, you’re considerate!" Mother Xia reached out, pulling Xia Chengzong toward her and said, "It’s good you’ve co back, it’s good you’ve co back!"
Confronted with his mother’s reaction, Xia Chengzong suddenly felt sowhat embarrassed.
"Mom, look who this is..." Suddenly, Xia Chengzong forcibly pointed towards the doorway where Xia Chuyi was waiting.
"You, you’ve co back too?" Mother Xia beca sowhat flustered the mont she saw Xia Chuyi.
