"I think she’s happy to the point of being silly."
"You’re the one who’s gotten silly with happiness!" Sheng Ning gave Gu Yunbo a sideways glance and continued reading the letter. She had already read it once but still couldn’t get enough. She wanted to keep reading it over and over again.
"Alright, stop reading it. How many tis have you read it already?" Gu Yunbo said, rubbing her forehead helplessly. "Why don’t you tell us what Living Yama ntioned in the letter?"
"He said he’ll co to take ho very soon." Sheng Ning’s eyes were sparkling, filled with happiness and joy, almost overflowing. The brightness in her eyes stung Gu Yunbo, and she nodded blankly.
"Really? That’s great."
"Mhm!" Sheng Ning put the letter away, suddenly rembering sothing she had forgotten to tell Gu Yunbo. "I killed Qin Cuifen today."
"Did you do it yourself?"
"Yes!" Sheng Ning nodded. "Do you think I’m a murderer?"
"Nah, I was going to say you did a great job. If you let soone like her continue causing trouble, I’d lose respect for you." Gu Yunbo sat carelessly, dismissively saying, "If it were , I’d have hacked her to pieces long ago. I’d start with a few hundred knife cuts, letting thirty percent of her blood drain out. In the end, I’d stab her heart, twisting the knife three tis to the left and three tis to the right, to make her die painfully."
The room fell into silence following Gu Yunbo’s words, and Aunt Feng, holding a vegetable knife, trembled so much that it seed the knife would drop at any mont.
"Aunt Feng, your knife is about to fall," Gu Yunbo kindly reminded her.
"Oh, oh, oh..." Aunt Feng, with the knife in hand, dashed out like the wind.
"What’s the matter?" Gu Yunbo, still unaware of the impact of her words, asked with an innocent expression, "Why are you guys looking at like that? Do you think what I said was too rciful? Actually, I think it was a bit too rciful. I’ve thought of sothing even more brutal. Do you want to hear it?"
"No, no..." Little Lin En shook his head like a rattle drum, "Aunt Yun Bo, I’ll never argue with you again." Oh God! Grandma! Gu Yunbo is terrifying. He needs to stay away from her in the future.
"Enough, enough, you’ll scare the kids," Sheng Ning thought to herself. What kind of people does she know?
More importantly, she was sure that Gu Yunbo wasn’t making up stories with her earlier words. She believed Gu Yunbo had actually done such things before.

Northern District
Qin Yue carried breakfast early in the morning to go find An’an at her temporary dormitory, but she was nowhere to be found. No one around had seen her either, as they said they hadn’t seen her since early morning. It was only Li Duoxi’s wife who saw that she had left last night with soone in uniform.
Judging by the clothing, it wasn’t soone from the Special Rescue Team, probably soone from the governnt.
Qin Yue rushed to Xu Qigang’s office but didn’t find him there, eventually locating him at the shooting range.
Xu Qigang was already the head of the team, yet he remained low-key, not wearing his uniform indicating his rank as the head. In his rescue attire, he looked even more tall and imposing.
With his hands behind his back, he stood on the field watching the comrades train, eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Living... Head!" Damn it, what’s frustrating about Living Yama being the head of the team is how inconvenient it is to call him by na.
Before, although his rank was higher than his own, he was a captain, so calling him by na or nickna in public was fine. Now that’s not possible. If he dared call out the nickna in public, the Special Rescue Team would surely cover him with a burlap sack.
