"Uh... pretty good..." Sheng Ning stopped halfway through her sentence. She hated when others lied to her. Now it seed lying herself wasn’t very good either?
"What’s wrong, sister-in-law? Is the captain okay?"
"The captain and vice-captain got slightly injured during a mission recently, but it’s nothing serious."
Zhao Changqi looked puzzled and suddenly rembered the rumors circulating within the police circles lately, and cautiously asked, "Is the captain staying at the Main Hospital?"
"Yes!"
"Was he flown there by helicopter?"
"Yes!" Sheng Ning lowered her head sheepishly; she didn’t expect Zhao Changqi to be so well-inford.
"Then... then, how can you say it’s okay?"
"Alright! It is pretty serious, but now there’s no danger at all."
Zhao Changqi’s face turned ashen yet he still maintained a gentle tone to Sheng Ning, "Sister-in-law, you go ahead and pick them up. I’ll go check on the captain." After speaking, he said to his two subordinates, "What are you standing there for? Take him into custody first and we’ll talk later."
"Okay." The two didn’t give Xu Mo a chance to resist and handcuffed him before taking him away.
Zhao Changqi also quickly left. Just as he did, people began to trickle out as the train arrived at the station, making Xu Xianxiong stand out prominently in the crowd due to his height and stature. Sheng Ning spotted him imdiately and waved excitedly.
"Dad, over here, over here."
"Ningning!" The three of them were overjoyed and ran towards each other.
Sheng Ning looked at her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and An’an, grinning foolishly.
"Dad, Mom, you had a long journey. An’an, you’re getting prettier."
It was the first ti soone praised her like that, and Sheng An felt a little embarrassed.
"It wasn’t tiring at all, not at all." Zhao Lanzi liked her daughter-in-law very much, "Ningning, you’ve worked hard. Our Qigang isn’t giving you trouble, is he?"
"... No, no!" Sheng Ning felt her words were awkward.
Sheng An rolled her eyes to the side; she’d gotten used to this on the journey.
"Mom, have you eaten yet? Let take you to eat first, then go to the hospital to see Qigang."
"We’ve already eaten on the train. Let’s go to the hospital first!"
"Alright!"

General Union Courtyard
The Hai Family was particularly lively today because the arranged ti to visit the patient was in the afternoon, and Hai Shen returned early from the Research Institute. Furthermore, Shen Jianguo was completely healed and was preparing to report to the Research Institute, so since the two lived in the sa courtyard, they decided to visit the Hai Family.
"Grandpa, you packed way too much stuff!" Hai Shen frowned at the piles of bags on the floor, looking like he could squash a fly. "I heard Chairman Shen went empty-handed! You want , a big man, to carry so much stuff."
"That’s precisely why Shen Feihu went empty-handed, so the entire Rescue Association wasn’t allowed to go."
Mr. Hai’s words made the living room quiet down a bit, and Hai Shen was speechless. Grandpa, even if that’s true, you shouldn’t say it in front of Jianguo! That’s his father, and now the Rescue Association people are almost furious. Others were laughing uncontrollably. Today, after returning from the association, the Chairman was still laughing and banging the table in the office!
Shen Jianguo awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth, pretending not to hear.
Mr. Hai, on the other hand, didn’t feel embarrassed at all and turned to ask, "Jianguo, why don’t you go with Hai Shen?"
"No need!" Shen Jianguo shook his head; he couldn’t bear to watch Sheng Ning and Xu Qigang together. "You all go ahead! I’m just going back to the Research Institute." Saying this, he stood up and left, coincidentally brushing past Song Huwen at the door.
Song Huwen opened her mouth to greet him, but with thoughts occupying his mind, Shen Jianguo didn’t hear and simply walked past her.
