"Captain Qin Xue? Captain Qin Xue?" Principal Feng called for a long time, Qin Xue had been lost in thought, and finally came back to her senses, awkwardly apologizing, "Sorry, I was distracted."
"Itās okay, were you thinking about Sheng An?"
"Yes." Qin Xue answered with a touch of melancholy.
Principal Feng held grudges too and remembered clearly how arrogant and condescending Qin Shuang was when representing the Qin Family. So, he smiled and shared an even more surprising fact.
"Sheng An is the pride of our National Security University. Although she hasnāt graduated yet, sheās already officially part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Sheās now a part of the country. Neither Hai Yunfeng nor I can dictate her actions."
"I see." Qin Xue felt an intense bitterness, and her heart ached even more for her brother. It was they who caused trouble, it was the family that burdened him. If Qin Shuang hadnāt publicly opposed Sheng An back then, maybe her brother would have brought her home by now.
With Hai Yunfeng as an in-law and a national treasure of a scientific genius, the heights the Qin Family could reach were unimaginable.
But now, itās too late to say anything.
She stood up to greet Principal Feng, calmly saying, "Principal Feng, I entrust my brotherās matters to you, we hope he can graduate and return to the Southern District soon."
She came this time to take Qin Yue back. Her father gave her the task, and if her brother didnāt return, she wouldnāt have to go back either.
"I understand, but everything depends on Qin Yueās own decision."
"I know, anyway, thank you."
"Youāre welcome."

Su Hai came out of Principal Fengās office and directly found a stone bench under the sycamore tree to sit on. Originally thought he would have to wait a while longer, but within ten minutes, Xu Qigang arrived like a gust of wind.
Looking at the stern man, Su Hai smiled slightly, "I heard you caused quite a storm in the Southern Border?" Now, the two of them were closer than ever.
Even Su Jiang had to step aside.
"Hmm!"
"Nicely done!" Su Hai found Xu Qigang increasingly appealing to him.
"Sun Gan said you have news about Xiao Ning? Whatās the news? Tell me!" He was anxious, almost wanting to hold a gun to Su Haiās head to make him speak faster.
"Donāt rush, sit down and listen to me slowly." Su Hai was calm at this moment, patting the empty space beside him, signaling Xu Qigang to sit down.
Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, he sat down in the empty spot, "Can you speak now?"
"Iāve had Sun Gan continue to investigate the situation at Jingang Pier on that day, thereās evidence suggesting Ningning might not be dead."
Xu Qigang suddenly stood up, his brows furrowed, staring unblinkingly at Su Hai.
"Donāt get excited, this is just my bold speculation, but I think the possibility is quite high..." Su Hai hadnāt finished speaking when Xu Qigang suddenly grabbed his shoulder, the immense strength causing him to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
"Let go, let go quickly."
"Do you also believe so? Do you really believe it too? You arenāt lying to me?"
"Of course, I believe it, Ningning is definitely not dead." Su Hai said fiercely.
"I knew it, I knew it... Xiao Ning definitely isnāt dead, she definitely isnāt dead." Xu Qigang gradually relaxed his grip, his whole body loosening as if relieved of a thousand-pound burden.
"Do you know? Whenever I close my eyes, I can hear Xiao Nian crying for help, screaming in pain. Her voice is so real, she tells me in my dreams that sheās alright. But..." Xu Qigang could say no more, he sat on the stone bench with his head down.
