During the hospital examination, the doctor found that the man had a knife tied to his leg. Actually, there were two. Each leg had a knife tied to it. They quickly called the police. The freshly awakened “friend” was taken away by the police.

The public security situation in Jing was good, so they wondered why a foreign friend would bring a knife over. Plus, he had two knives with him. After relevant tests, one of them still had the remains of human blood on it, so the problem became bigger.

Soon, his companion was detained. The police searched their rooms. This time, police dogs and some high-tech equipment was used. Serious contraband, including drugs and firearms, were found. These items were strictly controlled in the country. They were forbidden products and against the law.

The two foreigners were stunned. Everything had been going smoothly, and they had concealed themselves well. They couldn’t figure out how they were suddenly exposed.

In the morning, w.a.n.g Yao and Su Xiaoxue had promised to meet and attend cla.s.s together. However, she was accompanied by a huge third wheel, her brother.

“Have you eaten yet, Brother-in-law?” Su Zhixing asked as soon as they met.

“Ah, yes.” w.a.n.g Yao looked at the slightly flushed Su Xiaoxue with inquiring eyes.

“What’s the matter with your eldest brother? Is he attending cla.s.s with us?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“Come on, Brother-in-law, I’ve got something to say to you,” Su Zhixing said as he pulled w.a.n.g Yao aside.

“What is it?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“I just got a call from a friend of mine,” Su Zhixing said. “The two foreigners were arrested. The ones who were in the same hotel as you. The two people we met last night.”

“Mmm, it’s good that they were caught,” w.a.n.g Yao said with a laugh.

“They had guns and drugs in their rooms,” Su Zhixing said.

“Ah, drugs. I didn’t think of that,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“How did you perceive that something was off with them?” Su Zhixing asked.

“I could smell a strong smell of blood on them, and the aura on them was off,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.

“How can you smell that? Why didn’t I feel that way at the time?” Su Zhixing asked.

“The scent is so light that you can’t detect it,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

Su Zhixing’s body also had a special aura. w.a.n.g Yao felt that this future brother-in-law might have been on the battlefield and killed people.

“What are you talking about so mysteriously?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“Oh, nothing,” Su Zhixing said. “Where are you going?”

“To cla.s.s,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Oh, cla.s.s?” Su Zhixing asked.

“Yes, what’s wrong?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“Ah, yes, a cla.s.s is good,” Su Zhixing said. “I’ll attend too. I’ve nothing going on today.”

“Are you really going?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“Of course,” Su Zhixing said. “I still have a lot of things I don’t understand. I want to ask for advice.”

“Brother…” Su Xiaoxue was hesitant about the extra guest.

“Alright, let’s go,” Su Zhixing said. “We’re going to be late for school if we stay here any longer. I’ll drive you.”

Just like that, a huge third wheel joined what was originally a two-person world.

…

In Lianshan County, outside w.a.n.g Yao’s clinic…

“What’s the matter?” The man who had brought his daughter there for medical treatment was stunned.

After careful inquiry, he found out that the doctor had a Weibo account, but it showed that he was away from the village. The clinic was closed, and the post didn’t say how long he would be gone. This caused him to be overly anxious. His daughter was sick, so how could he not be anxious? It was useless to be worried and anxious. He could only force himself to calm down.

“Come on, let’s go to the county and find a place to stay,” the man said with a sigh.

“Ok, it’s alright,” his wife said. “We’ll just wait a few days.”

The man didn’t have anything to worry about himself, but he was afraid of his daughter’s health declining. He went to the hotel where he stayed the previous time.

He opened his backpack in a hurry. Sure enough, the medicine bottle was still there. He gently pried open the stopper. There was still a little medicine in it, which he didn’t finish last time.

It should be alright for her to drink, right? the man thought.

He diluted the medicine with warm water and had his daughter drink it.

“How do you feel, Xiao Ling?” he asked.

“Well, it’s a little bitter,” his daughter replied.

“All good medicine tastes bitter,” the man said. “I mean, do you have any other feelings?”

“Not for the time being,” his daughter said.

“We’ll wait a little more,” the man said. “It’s cooler in the afternoon. I’ll take you out for a walk. This place is close to the sea.”

“Yes, I want to see the sea,” the girl happily said.

They lived inland and were several hours away from the nearest seaside. Her father, busy with business, only had taken her there once. Since then, she had fallen in love with the sea and looked forward to seeing it again.

“Rest for now. We’ll go down for dinner later,” the man said. “The food at this hotel is very good.”

They were from the south, so they found northern cuisine fresh and new. When they were eating in the restaurant, the girl suddenly said she had a stomachache and went to the bathroom. Her father went out with her. Soon, the little girl came out of the bathroom.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

“Diarrhea, and a lot of worms,” the little girl said. She seemed a little scared.

“That’s alright,” the man said. “Those are roundworms. It’s fine now that you’ve cleared them out. Let’s go to dinner.”

“Alright.” The girl was clever and sensible.

In the afternoon, the man took his family to Haiqu. It was summer, so the weather was perfect for taking a dip in the sea. The family had a happy time, especially the little girl.

“Shall we stay here tonight?” the man asked as he looked at the sky.

“What about back there?” his wife asked.

“It’s alright, Xiao Ling is happy,” the man said. “Let’s stay here for another day and play here tomorrow.”

“Alright, whatever you say,” his wife said.

The family stayed in an upscale hotel by the seaside and had a scrumptious seafood meal. From beginning to end, the little girl was happy and elated.

“This is the life a family should have,” the man said.

In the past, he had always been busy making money. He thought he would only be happy when he had money. After this incident, his ideas had completely changed. Money was important, but the purpose of making money was to live a better life. Family harmony was the basis for success in any undertaking. That old saying was very reasonable.

Looking at the happy and contented smiles of his wife and child, he felt that he hadn’t really lived before. He had been blinded by those so-called extravagant lifestyles, preventing him from seeing what real happiness was.

“Xiao Ling, are you happy today?” he asked.

“Yes, so happy!” The little girl glowed with happiness.

It was summer vacation for the children. They all hoped their parents would take them out to play instead of sending them to enrichment cla.s.ses all the time. She was a sensible child and knew that her father was not in good health. This matter had never been mentioned to her parents. She had wanted to come out to play. She especially wanted to see the sea. She hadn’t expected that her wish would come true so suddenly, so she was very happy.

“That’s good,” her father replied. “Dad will often accompany you out to play in the future, OK?”

The man decided to go back and sell the mountain. He would stop worrying about it and being frightened by it. He was willing to pay a little money to spend more time with his wife and daughter.

…

Thousands of miles away in the capital, in Yanjing University’s public cla.s.ses, w.a.n.g Yao, Su Xiaoxue, and Su Zhixing sat together listening to the lecture.

“Ah, what is this professor talking about?” Su Zhixing felt bored and listless as he listened to the lecture.

His sister and w.a.n.g Yao beside him were listening attentively. Finally, the cla.s.s was over.

“Yes, it’s finally over!” Su Zhixing breathed a sigh of relief.

“As I said earlier, this course is not suitable for you, but you refused to listen,” Su Xiaoxue said with a laugh.

The next cla.s.s was a professional one. It was a small cla.s.s, so it would not be appropriate for w.a.n.g Yao and Su Zhixing to attend.

“Let’s go, Brother-in-law, I’m hungry,” Su Zhixing said. “Let’s get something to eat.”

“Eat now? Before 10 a.m.?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“Yes, it’s my treat. Let’s go,” Su Zhixing said.

Yanjing University’s dining hall was not bad, and there were some stir-fried stalls. There were not many people who came to eat at that time of day. Fortunately, the people in the dining hall entertained them.

They ordered a few side dishes. Su Zhixing also ordered wine.

“Hey, are you drinking even though you’re driving?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“Ah, I forgot, forget it.” Su Zhixing returned the wine.

“I’m famished. I did not eat this morning,” Su Zhixing said. “Mmm, it tastes good.”

“Are your troops pretty relaxed?” w.a.n.g Yao took a bite of food.

“What relaxed? It’s not easy. Training is tiring,” Su Zhixing replied between bites of food. “I am in a special section of the army. We are always in a state of readiness, so our training intensity is much higher than the general army.”

“How can still come out so easily, and more than once?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“I came to Jing with a mission,” Su Zhixing said. “I just finished it before I met you. Since I’m here, I thought I would visit my relatives.”
