Chapter 334: Chapter 341 Su Haiâs Confusion
âDad, I already mobilized all my resources to look for her.â
âDid you search in the right direction? Do you know if she didnât hide the truth?â Su Jiangâs words made Su Yun shudder.
âTomorrow, take people and go personally to the place where you went to the countryside back then.â
âYes! Big Brother!â Su Yun obediently nodded.
âIf you canât find the person, donât bother coming back home!â Su Jiang continued.
Meng Xingzhi exchanged a glance with Su Hai, both giving a helpless, bitter smile, yet neither said anything.
Su Yunâs face changed drastically as she cried out in panic, âBig Brother, please donât be angry, okay? Donât scare me!â
âIâm not scaring you!â Su Jiang said sternly. âYou need to learn your lesson. Go back and reflect on it.â
âBrotherâŠâ Su Yun pleaded further, but the old man roared, interrupting her, âGet out! All of you, get out of my sight.â
Su Yun collapsed powerlessly to the ground, crying like a helpless child.
Su Jiang shook his head; after all these years, there had been no improvement.
âLetâs go back! Letâs not anger Dad anymore. Letâs just find our daughter,â Meng Xingzhi soothingly persuaded, finally calming Su Yunâs emotions.
As long as Xingzhi needed her, she could rise up, overcoming all obstacles.
The couple walked to the door when Su Hai called out loudly, âWait!â
âWhat is it?â
âSis, are you sure that manâs last name wasnât Sheng?â He stubbornly asked. Sheng Ning gave him a familiar feeling, much like his sister when she was young.
And now that Dad had brought out the photo of their mother from those years, it was normal for a granddaughter to resemble her grandmother. He was almost convinced that the child was Sheng Ning.
Thinking of this speculation, Su Yun trembled with excitement.
âPositive!â Su Yun leaned on Meng Xingzhi, saying weakly, âHis last name was Qin, not Sheng. She has the bracelet I left behind. As long as we follow the original clues, we will definitely find her.â
Disappointment stiffened Su Haiâs face before he finally responded, âOkay, I got it!â
After Meng Xingzhi and his wife left, the old man, tired, was helped into his room to rest while Su Jiang and Su Huaiâan, who hadnât seen each other in a long time, entered the study together.
Su Hai remained alone in the living room, pouring himself a drink, his mind racing. Something still felt off, but he couldnât pinpoint what.
No, he decided to personally go to the countryside to search for her. He couldnât rest otherwise.
*****
At five oâclock in the afternoon, practice ended, and Sheng Ning packed her small bag and left through the General Unionâs front gate. It was an hourâs drive from there to the War Wolf Rescue Team.
Luckily, the General Union had vehicles going out, conveniently passing by the War Wolf Rescue Team, allowing her to hitch a ride and arrive by six oâclock when it got dark.
If there hadnât been a ride, it would have been impossible for her.
The driver, a member of the automobile unit delivering supplies to a remote unit, chatted with her throughout the journey about the heroic deeds of the War Wolf Rescue Team.
Sheng Ning listened intently, pleased by the good-natured conversation.
âComrade, weâre approaching the War Wolf Rescue Team,â said the driver. The vehicle wasnât going directly there but coincidentally passed through the defense area of the War Wolf Rescue Team. A slight detour would have allowed him to drop off Sheng Ning directly.
âNo need, I know the way. A ten-minute walk from here is enough,â Sheng Ning declined his offer, insisting on getting off.
âAlright then, as long as you know the way!â The young comrade stopped the car, watched Sheng Ning get out, waved goodbye, and drove off.
Sheng Ning watched the truck disappear, then looked towards the direction of the War Wolf Rescue Team. She took a deep breath of the cold air, feeling her heartbeat inexplicably quicken.
