"Leader, did you foresee this, or are you saying all of this was expected? Wait, is Bai Qishan also detained there?"
Xu Dayuan smiled.
"Let’s go, our mission is over. Let’s get some rest and wait for the investigatory team to arrive. I think they should be here soon. Once the handover is complete, we can go home."
Mr. Zhao seemed to understand; he looked at Xu Dayuan and then at Zhou Ning.
"A pair of sly old foxes. Fine, I won’t ask anymore. Is it okay if Liu Da and Tao Da go with them to the hospital?"
Xu Dayuan ignored Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao, chatting incessantly, followed Xu Dayuan, asking questions relentlessly. In truth, he was just not used to the relief after the tension, especially since they had just narrowly escaped death.
As everyone else walked away, Zhou Ning glanced at Xia Momo standing not far off. Zhou Ning walked over and took Xia Momo’s hand.
"I’ve worried you, but everything is over now!"
With those words, Xia Momo couldn’t hold back her tears any longer; they streamed down her face.
"Zhou Ning, I thought you were going to die. Let’s not take on such dangerous tasks anymore, okay? I don’t want to lose you, I promised Grandpa that I would take good care of you."
Zhou Ning held Xia Momo’s face and kissed her directly on the lips.
"Shh, it’s all over."
Xia Momo pushed Zhou Ning away, glanced around quickly, and hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, still fraught with concern.
"But just now, what did Mr. Liang mean by his last words? He implied that the hunter’s son is among us. Does this mean we need to have everyone’s blood drawn for a DNA comparison?"
Zhou Ning rubbed Xia Momo’s hair and took her hand.
"Come on, we can’t stay here for now, especially since the explosives haven’t been cleared yet, and we don’t even know if there are any gas tanks left in the cafeteria. I’m really tired; I want to take a shower, change into clean clothes, and get some good sleep without worrying about anything or thinking about anything."
At this moment, they had reached the roadside, and most people had already passed the intersection. The police, who were tying up loose ends, had not followed them. Xia Momo held tightly onto Zhou Ning’s hand, and they stopped.
Xia Momo stared into Zhou Ning’s eyes, as if trying to analyze something from his expression. However, after watching for a long time, Zhou Ning merely smiled without speaking. Xia Momo frowned slightly, her face revealing undisguised concern.
"I heard what the hyena shouted just now. The hunter’s biological son is among us. You know who he is, don’t you?"
Zhou Ning tried to move on, but was stopped by Xia Momo. Zhou Ning shook his head.
"I can’t tell you. I need to discuss it with Director Xu first, then decide what to do. I’m not telling you because if he stays, he’ll still be one of our good partners. But if I tell you, you’ll feel alienated from him from now on. Do you understand what I’m saying?"
Xia Momo sighed. She knew that Zhou Ning seemed to be a gentle person, but once he set his mind on something, nobody could stop him.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Zhou Ning realized that members of the investigatory team from the two commissions had already arrived, and some of them had begun questioning Bai Qishan.
As for all personnel involved in the case, they were ordered not to leave a ten-meter radius of Qinghui Building until further notice.
Zhou Ning wasn’t in a rush to go up, since Xu Dayuan was providing some evidence. The recordings and such had already been handed over to the investigatory team, which was why they had come in the first place.
Xia Momo greeted everyone to freshen up and then sent someone to retrieve their belongings from the hotel where they were staying, considering everyone was filthy from the explosion and rescue efforts.
Seeing that there would be some time before his talk, Zhou Ning decided to take a shower and change into clean clothes and then promptly went to sleep, not waking until sunlight streamed through the window and Xia Momo shook him awake.
"Zhou Ning, wake up. If you keep sleeping, I’m afraid you’ll get hypoglycemia."
Zhou Ning rubbed his eyes and sat up, noticing porridge and steamed buns on the table. He yawned.
"Is dinner just this simple?"
"It’s already morning. Go wash up and have breakfast. They’ll talk to you at eight. Actually, they wanted to talk to you yesterday, but I stopped them. You were so tired, even calling you twice didn’t wake you up."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ning quickly washed up and ate. Once he was ready, there was a knock at the door. He straightened up and opened the door to find two men in casual clothes nodding at him. They checked the list, smiled, and said:
"Zhou Ning, right? Please follow me. As for this lady, please wait in the room and don’t leave. You are not needed for questioning at the moment."
Zhou Ning didn’t waste any words and followed the two men to the end of the hallway. He expected to take the elevator, but after turning a corner, they entered a large suite. As soon as he came in, he saw Xu Dayuan sitting at the farthest east side of the room. In the center, behind two tables, sat four people, with a chair placed in the middle.
The two men reported their arrival, then led Zhou Ning into the room and gestured for him to sit on the chair. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Seeing Xu Dayuan on one side, Zhou Ning knew such an inquiry was just a formality, so he calmly faced the people in front of him.
One of the thin old men asked:
"Zhou Xiangrong is your father?" freewēbnoveℓ.com
Zhou Ning nodded.
"Yes, my father is Zhou Xiangrong, and my mother is Bai Mei, although she changed her name to Bai Ping while working at the hospital."
The man laughed, glancing at Xu Dayuan’s direction. Seeing that Xu Dayuan had no intention of explaining, he set down his pen and stood up.
"The reason we called you here today isn’t to verify anything, as your investigation has already been very thorough. I just wanted to share some information that you may wish to know. Do you have any questions?"
