Having a na gave them direction, and they formulated a plan of action. The group discussed for over half an hour before adjourning the eting. ng Ping was left behind, and the father and son sat silently in the empty conference room for a long ti.
ng Ping finally couldn’t resist starting the conversation, "Dad, I’m exhausted. If there’s nothing else, let the little fat man go! I’m still waiting to go back to sleep!"
"ng Ping," ng Xingzhi said in a heartfelt manner, "I won’t interfere with your business, but I have one request."
"Go ahead."
"Don’t engage in anything immoral or despicable. I don’t want my last son to beco another Shen Yu."
ng Ping curled his lips mockingly, "Scum like Shen Yu isn’t qualified to be compared to ."
"Then I can rest assured! Go ahead and pick up the little fat man!" The eldest son set a great example, and this elevated his status in the younger son’s eyes even higher than his own father’s, which made him feel relieved.
"Aren’t you going back?"
"No, I’m not." ng Xingzhi waved his hand for his son to leave, then sat alone for a long ti.

The hospital incident passed quietly, and the next day Sheng Ning was called in for a talk.
It wasn’t as serious as expected; the person questioning her had a much better attitude than when Sun Gan first spoke to her.
"Hello Comrade Sheng Ning, please have a seat."
"Thank you!" Even though it was a justified killing, an inquiry was still a required procedure. She was aware of this and ntally reviewed the events of that night carefully.
Of course, she had to skip over the part about being in the restroom.
The questioner asked her where she was hiding at the ti, and she calmly answered that she was hiding under the bed.
When the inquiry ended, before leaving, the leading official took the initiative to greet her.
"Comrade Sheng Ning, thank you for saving a crucial mber of our dical staff."
She imdiately responded to the greeting and said seriously, "As a General Union comrade, it’s my duty."
"Did you consider the consequences at the ti?"
"No!" She shook her head honestly, "I think sotis you can’t be too hesitant when doing things."
"That’s right!"
"How is Captain Xu?" Since leaving the hospital last night, she hadn’t seen Xu Qigang, and although Zhou Hong repeatedly assured her that everything was fine, she couldn’t help but worry.
"Captain Xu is at the Provincial Rescue Center, and there’s a team of specialized doctors there. Don’t worry."
"Do you know when he’ll be back?"
"He’ll definitely be back before dark today."
"Great, thank you so much. I’ll take my leave now, but if there’s a need for further inquiries, please let know." Sheng Ning felt relieved; she knew that if the Living Yama got busy, despite his injuries, he might work endlessly, which could worsen his condition.
Even though he’s young and in good shape, she couldn’t let him act recklessly.
"Comrade Sheng Ning, you’re too modest; you’re a role model for us won."
"You flatter ." She felt a bit embarrassed by the praise.
"It’s a fact, take care."
"Thank you." The interrogation wasn’t as tricky or harsh as she had imagined, which helped her relax quite a bit.
After Sheng Ning walked out, the inside ignited instantly, and everyone couldn’t help but engage in discussions.
"Wow! She’s amazing, you couldn’t tell. Do you think the Rescue Association Chairman is out of his mind? Sending such a talent to dance?"
"Hehehe... Who can figure out Shen Feihu’s thoughts? The key point is that she’s the Living Yama’s wife; who would dare to transfer her lightly?"
"Speaking of this, I rembered, there’s been talk about the Black and White Impermanence at the union lately. It must be her, right?"
"That’s correct, she stabbed soone. It was a big disturbance at the union, and I heard it nearly took Fatty Zhu’s life."
"Wow, no wonder the boss was so cautious earlier."
When Sheng Ning ca out, she saw a young comrade waiting for her outside, soone younger than Liu Chun. He had a baby face with bright black eyes.
This was Renault.
"Sister-in-law, our captain told to protect you."
Sheng Ning nodded, not ntioning that she didn’t need protection. She knew she was the Living Yama’s weakness and couldn’t drag him down. But An’an needed protection more.
"Hello, Renault, I want to discuss sothing with you."
"Go ahead, sister-in-law."
"I can stay at the War Wolf Rescue Team headquarters and not go out. It’s very safe there. Could you help protect my sister?"
"No." Renault shook his head resolutely, "Our captain ordered that I must stay with you. No one can change that. Captain Qin Yue has already been assigned to take care of your sister."
"I’d like to bring her back."
"It’s not necessary; it would be unsafe for her to be by your side. Vice Chairman Su has arranged with National Security University for Sheng An to stay and study with Chen Huaying. It’s a pre-enrollnt adaptation period, and it’s very safe there; no one can harm her."
Renault spoke in a very straightforward manner, quite different from others. He pronounced every syllable clearly, and spoke very fluently.
"Alright!" Sheng Ning was relieved, but hearing that An’an was staying with Chen Huaying and protected by Qin Yue made her feel a bit lost.
Her sister had beco independent and didn’t need her anymore.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to go shopping? Our captain said the house is probably empty."
"Yes, yes, I need to buy so things." When the Living Yama cos back tonight, she couldn’t bear having him face an empty house with no food other than the northwest wind.

Zhou Yuan took a leave from her job to take care of her daughter. In reality, she spent little ti in the hospital; rather, she was often with Shao Yiping. Her family was in business and had several properties in the city, so whenever she had the chance, she’d sneak out from the hospital to be with Shao Yiping.
Hai Shuangjie prioritized family interests and wasn’t a good husband, but he had decent character. Over the years, because she stayed outside and spent little ti with him, he felt guilty and turned over most of his salary to her.
