"Let's go back." Huo Yubai's voice was hoarse and stiff.
"Don't think about it," Huo Fei advised. "Your body isn't suited to staying up late and working hard. Go home and rest well, and don't overthink it."
Huo Yubai remained unmoved.

At the breakfast table.
I rubbed my temples.
My mom brought me a bowl of chicken soup: "This is for you and Muxi. Have some. Why isn't she up yet?"
Every night before my mother goes to sleep, she drinks the calming soup I prepare for her.
It's all so that she can sleep well at night.
So she didn't know that it was Huo Yi who brought Mu Xi back last night.
They had no idea that Mu Xi was drunk.
“We went out for a business dinner together last night,” I explained. “She drank a little too much.”
"Drinking is bad for your health, you two need to take care of yourselves," my mother advised.
I laughed: "Mom, I'm a doctor, how could I not know?"
"Doctors are human too, and they're not made of iron," my mother scolded.
"Okay, I know." I smiled happily.
Anyone who has experienced loss knows how blissful it is to hear their mother's murmurs at this moment.
In my past life, I couldn't even hear it if I wanted to.
In this life, I will cherish it even more.
"Mom, I can take care of myself." I smiled mischievously. "But you, you're still young, haven't you thought about it?"
My mom scolded me, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't want to. I'm happier on my own. Besides, after you have the baby, I'll help you take care of the child. How could I be bored?"
"Mom, I don't even have a boyfriend yet." I was both amused and exasperated: "If you're so eager to have a grandchild, I think you should just give up on that idea."
“Although I’ve had a failed marriage, I don’t want you to be alone for the rest of your life.” My mother gently stroked my head.
She was always worried about me.
I was afraid Huo Yushen would influence me.
But she didn't know that the one who truly influenced me was Gu Heng from my past life.
"Mom, I'm going to Geshi today and won't be back until the day after tomorrow. If you need anything at home, just ask Xia Zhe," I said.
"Where are you going?" My mother asked, looking at me with concern.
She gets very worried every time I go out.
"We've found Grandma Minxiu's whereabouts," I replied.
She knows it.
"Really?" She looked very uncomfortable. "Then you should be extra careful."
I nodded.
After finishing breakfast, I immediately packed my bags and headed out.
My mother walked to the window and watched me leave with a worried look on her face.
After I left, she took out her phone and dialed a number: "Yubai, I need your help, please help me."
-
I arrived at my destination in the evening.
However, to get to Geshi, it will take another two hours by car.
Xia Zhe arranged for Liang Hui to pick me up.
Liang Hui is a retired veteran who is agile and experienced.
He helped me load my luggage into the jeep.
"Professor Shen, we won't arrive in Ge City until 10:30. Are you planning to go to the sanatorium tonight?" Liang Hui asked as he drove.
"I'm afraid things might get complicated if I wait too long." I looked out the car window at the late summer night, my heart heavy.
Liang Hui remained silent.
The dark gray jeep drove across the vast Gobi Desert, surrounded by desolate and lonely landscapes.
How could anyone be so heartless as to leave a nearly 70-year-old man in such a place?
Min Xiu has spent fifty years here, from a beautiful young girl to a white-haired old woman. I don't know how she survived it all.
The more I think about it, the sadder I become.
Mingzhe cared about her his whole life, but he had no idea that she was suffering here in captivity.
late at night.
The temperature in Grenfell has dropped to below minus ten degrees Celsius.
Liang Hui told me, "Professor Shen, Geshi is just ahead."
I nodded.
Before long, we entered the city.
The city of Grenfell is not large, and it is especially quiet at night.
But as I drove further in, I saw flames shooting into the sky not far away.
Is there a bonfire party?
"It looks like there's a fire?" Liang Hui frowned.
on fire?
I looked into the distance and asked, "Is that the direction of the sanatorium?"
“Yes.” Liang Hui nodded.
"It seems someone has gotten ahead of us." I frowned deeply.
We arrived at the scene very quickly.
People are putting out the fire.
Liang Hui grabbed one of them: "What's going on?"
"I don't know, it just suddenly caught fire." The other person was holding a bucket of water.
"Where are the people inside?" Liang Hui asked again.
"I don't know." The other person ran off to put out the fire.
"I'll go take a look," Liang Hui told me to wait.
I was wrapped in a thick down jacket, staring at the raging fire, my face dark with anger.
Someone doesn't want me to find Min-soo.
why?
Now that Minxiu is worthless, why won't they let this old man go?
Is it hatred?
after awhile.
Liang Hui returned and said, "The doctors and nurses are all there, but five patients have died."
Five people died?
"Including Min Soo?" I asked.
Liang Hui nodded: "Yes."
Five patients died at once, which seemed to blur something.
I'm not sure if they came for Min Soo.
"Bring the dean here," I said.
"He'll be here in a bit," Liang Hui had already arranged.
We waited.
About ten minutes later, a middle-aged man with a dusty and dirty face walked over.
"Professor Shen, this is Dean Zhao," Liang Hui introduced.
Dean Zhao looked me up and down: "You must be Professor Shen. You look so young."
"Dean Zhao, I only have one question for you: who brought Min Xiu here?" I asked.
“The Mohist School,” Dean Zhao replied. “The Mohist School, a powerful family in Xinjing City. You must have heard of it, right?”
Mohism?
It was them!
Previously, it was the Min family that stepped in to deal with Professor Ming.
As for who Min-soo actually married, no one knows.
I never expected it to be the Mohists.
If it were them, it wouldn't be surprising.
What kind of good family is the Mo family that can raise a daughter like Mo Ruchu!
"Do people from the Mohist school come to see her often?" Liang Hui continued.
Dean Zhao shook his head: "The Mo family has never shown their faces. They gave the hospital five million yuan in one lump sum back then, and asked us to take care of Min Xiu until she passed away."
Now that the person is missing, he doesn't know how to explain himself.
I asked, "What was Min-soo's condition like before she passed away?"
"He's still in relatively good health and often talks to himself," Dean Zhao explained.
"Can I take Min Xiu's ashes back with me?" I asked.
Dean Zhao said with difficulty, "I'm afraid that won't work. We have to hand it over to the Mohists."
Liang Hui said, "Dean Zhao, we won't keep you in suspense any longer. Are you sure that Min Xiu's body is among the five bodies? Could she have been switched?"
"That shouldn't be the case," Dean Zhao explained. "The body will be sent to the police station for a forensic examination in a little while."
The implication is that there will be no fabrication.
"Okay, thank you," Liang Hui said.
Dean Zhao turned and left.
Liang Hui looked at me and asked, "Professor Shen, should we go back?"
"No rush, I want to wait and see who the Mohists will send," I said.
“Let’s go to the hotel first.” Liang Hui looked at the sky: “It snows often in Ge City. I’m afraid it won’t snow tomorrow. If it snows too heavily, the airport and roads will usually be closed. The Mo family may not be able to get here so quickly.”
"Hmm." I nodded.
Liang Hui drove me to the hotel.
As soon as I got off the bus, I saw a familiar figure.
