Teacher Wang Ren hung up the phone, looked at my expression, and smiled lightly, "It's work-related, and it has nothing to do with Qin Sisi."
"I guessed wrong."
As I was speaking, Teacher Wang Ren's phone rang again. This time she frowned, murmured a few times, and hung up.
"You guessed right, Qin Sisi is injured."
"Is she seriously injured?"
"Very seriously. She's in the ICU. The Gao family's medical team is working hard to save her. She should be out of danger."
I didn't guess the process correctly, but I guessed the outcome. After this enemy made their move against me, they indeed targeted Qin Sisi.
"Who injured her?"
"Thugs!"
I was extremely surprised and asked confusedly, "How can there be thugs in Hong Kong?"
"There are always some lawless elements who want to challenge our country's honor. Never mind that, it's just an excuse. The real mastermind is the one who can manipulate these thugs. Who do you think it is?"
"Ke Yingying?"
"Yes, Ke Yingying is who I thought of too," Teacher Wang Ren said seriously.
"But Ke Yingying is a black informant for the Special Crimes Division?"
"We arrested Ke Yingying when we busted the 'Logical Paradox' organization. In a way, she was coerced. But it's not right to only suspect her. After all, that person named Xiao Zi'an is skilled at disguise. It's not impossible that she used Ke Yingying's face to do things."
...
To be frank, we couldn't tell who was lying and who was the victim. Moreover, Ke Yingying and Xiao Zi'an were now filled with animosity towards each other. Now, Qin Sisi was seriously injured, and Brother Shun was taking care of her. In a few days, Qin Sisi might wake up and provide me with information. But that information would only clarify one issue: whether there was a thirteenth person. Even if Qin Sisi's answer was no, I wouldn't be able to determine who between Ke Yingying and Xiao Zi'an was lying.
For this reason, I had to come up with a plan that would benefit both sides.
...
Something happened at my unit, and Qin Sisi was injured again. Teacher Wang Ren had to go back and make arrangements. Lin Han and I chatted. Later, she got tired, so I asked her to sleep for a while, but she didn't leave and fell asleep by my bedside.
Tang Yi finally opened her eyes around seven or eight in the evening. The first thing she said upon waking was, "Daddy, I'm hungry."
Seeing that Tang Yi no longer looked so scared, I was relieved and smiled, "Am I raising a little pig? Hungry as soon as you wake up."
"Yibao, shall Mommy take you to eat?" Lin Han said this with some worry. But after being deeply hypnotized by Teacher Wang Ren, she had truly forgotten those fears, as if she had just had an unpleasant nightmare. Tang Yi, without fear, did not refuse Lin Han, especially since Lin Han was taking her to play and eat.
Lin Han led Tang Yi outside. I heard Tang Yi say, "Mommy, I want to eat fried chicken."
"Okay, I want fried chicken too. How about a cola?"
"Yes!"
"Two large cups, okay?"
There wasn't a mother who would take her child to eat what was commonly considered "junk food," but Lin Han didn't think that way. She never considered fried food to be junk food; she was still a child herself!
I was a little worried about these two big kids going out alone, but I was physically hindered. However, being unable to move didn't mean my mind had stopped. I called Xiao Zi'an and asked her to come over.
I didn't mention the Thirteen Disciples or the concept of the "Seven Stars Not Relying" again. I just told her about Qin Sisi's injury. Xiao Zi'an pondered for a moment, "You suspect Ke Yingying?"
"Yes!"
"Why?"
"In legends, the martial world has its dark and light sides. Ke Yingying is someone who walks in the shadows. Using thugs is her usual tactic..."
Xiao Zi'an frowned and remained silent.
"Mrs. Xiao, there's something I don't understand now. Why do you suspect Ke Yingying? And why was Qin Sisi, who is far away in Hong Kong, also injured?"
Xiao Zi'an pondered for a moment, then took out her phone, found a text message, and handed it to me. The text message should have been edited by Ye Qingcheng after the earthquake.
I remember editing a text message at the time, but it failed to send due to signal issues. Later, the nurse responsible for rescue found the dropped phone, charged it, and when the signal was restored, since she couldn't match the numbers, she randomly sent a message to each person, allowing the trapped individuals to contact their families. This text message was sent during that period.
I smiled helplessly, "Is there any proof?"
"Not yet."
"Then go and investigate. Once you find something, tell me, and I'll think about how to handle this matter."
"Alright!"
