Chapter 635: He Yan Pays a Visit
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Shan remained silent, evidently agreeing with his wife’s words. He said, “I’ll see. It seems I indeed need to make a trip to Daqing Village.”
In Daqing Village, Gu Zi and the others began to tidy up the house and pack their belongings after returning from the red brick house.
Gu Zi looked at the cozy little home she had arranged, which was now gradually emptying. She felt a stir in her heart, “I originally thought I would stay here for a long time. I didn’t expect to leave so soon.”
Hearing her sentimental words, Su Shen also put down his work, swept his gaze over the furnishings of the house, and couldn’t help but sigh, “I once thought I would stay here for a lifetime.”
Su Shen disliked the deceitful officialdom and never wanted to participate in factional struggles. However, over the years in the army, as his military rank kept rising, he was inevitably drawn into the struggles.
Whether to participate in these matters was not up to him. After understanding this, Su Shen wanted to leave the army. Later, he got the opportunity to return to the peaceful countryside.
He remembered his thoughts at that time: to carry out his secret mission well, stay away from the turmoil, and after taking over his sister’s children, he had more goals – to earn money, raise the three children, find an opportunity to retire, and live an ordinary life…
But among these goals, none of them involved living in the city. It was not until he married Gu Zi that he had the idea of moving to the city.
In his daze, a pleasant floral scent brought him back to reality. He saw Gu Zi walk up to him and look up at him, “If you want to come back, we can find time to do so. Let’s not dwell on the past!”
Su Shen nodded, bent down to look at her charming face, and couldn’t help but kiss her on the forehead. Just then, the roar of a car came from outside. Su Shen and Gu Zi followed the sound out and saw He Yan getting out of a white sedan.
He was wearing a white shirt with a blue vest sweater on top, casual pants and white sneakers on the bottom. The contrast with his usual police uniform was quite significant. Gu Zi took a moment to recognize him, then saw the fruit basket and flower basket in his hand. Clearly, he was here for a visit. She said to Su Shen, “Captain He is here.”
Su Shen went to open the gate, invited He Yan in, and took him to the living room. After entering the living room, Su Shen took the flower and fruit baskets from him and said in a deep voice, “We’ve been preparing to move these past few days, so the living room is a bit messy. I apologize.”
Just as He Yan sat down and was about to drink the tea Gu Zi had poured for him, he heard Su Shen’s apology and quickly put down his teacup, “It’s nothing. I just came at an inconvenient time. My main purpose today is to visit you and to thank Sister Gu Zi. Because of taking over her shop’s false accusation case, we also incidentally solved several previous masked robbery cases.
“Up until this morning, all the suspects involved in the masked robbery cases, including Li Er and Lin Jie, have been caught by us. I didn’t expect that the case that had puzzled us for over a year would be solved so coincidentally. I won’t say much more, but Lin Jie and Li Er are definitely in for a heavier sentence.”
Gu Zi sat down next to Su Shen, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it. Hearing He Yan’s words, she also felt it was quite a coincidence.
No wonder her mother said that Li Er’s parents came to find Lin Laoyao, claiming that he had tricked them to death. This was more than just a trick. Gu Zi felt that these two families were simply incompatible. They had originally planned to do bad things together, but ended up trapping themselves.
Gu Zi felt a bit sentimental, but not much. After all, people like Lin Jie and Li Er deserved to be in jail.
However, since He Yan came to thank her, she accepted it graciously. She smiled and said, “This is indeed an unexpected gain. Su Shen, you chat with Captain He. I’ll go prepare some snacks.”
After she finished speaking, she nodded at He Yan, indicating that she would leave for a while. After she left, He Yan went over to Su Shen, patted his shoulder, and couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Shen, how did you meet a woman like Sister-in-law? She’s too perfect, so perfect that she doesn’t seem to belong to this world.”
Su Shen looked in the direction of the kitchen, then turned back to pick up the tea she had brewed. He answered with a hint of pride, “Indeed, a woman like my wife is a rare find. Don’t ask anymore. When you go back, say hello to your parents for me.”
He Yan felt Su Shen’s alertness and became a bit restrained. He respectfully said, “Of course, I will. Please have some tea.”
Su Shen was a good friend of his father’s, and in terms of seniority, Su Shen was his elder. His respectful tone was not unreasonable.
