Chapter 44: Can’t Visit

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yang Tao was flipping through the information on a recent murder case. When he heard the knock on the door, he answered without looking up, “Come in!”

The door was pushed open and a young policeman walked in. “Chief Yang, someone is looking for you outside.”

“Who is it?” Yang Tao looked up at the young policeman.

“It’s a young girl and a middle-aged man. The girl said that her elder brother is your friend,” the young policeman said.

When Yang Tao heard that, he immediately guessed who it was. He pondered for a moment and said, “Let them in.” Zhan Yiping must have come because of Song Yiren. Zhan Yihan really had incredible foresight.

The young man walked out of the office and stood in front of Zhan Yiping and Xu Tiansheng. “Come with me.”

“Okay.” Zhan Yiping and Xu Tiansheng looked at each other with a smile and followed behind the young man. Since Yang Tao was willing to meet them, they had a glimmer of hope.

When they arrived outside Yang Tao’s office, the young policeman knocked on the door. When he heard Yang Tao’s response, he pushed the door open and said to Xu Tiansheng and Zhan Yiping, “Go on in.”

Zhan Yiping walked into the office and smiled when she saw Yang Tao. “Big Brother Yang, I’m Zhan Yihan’s younger sister, Zhan Yiping. Do you still remember me? We met yesterday.”

“Of course I remember. Have a seat.” Yang Tao smiled and pointed to the sofa at the side.

After Zhan Yiping and Xu Tiansheng sat down, Yang Tao poured two cups of tea and placed them in front of them. He looked at Zhan Yiping and asked, “Why are you looking for me?”

Zhan Yiping nodded and smiled nervously. “Big Brother Yang, I have something I need your help with. There’s someone called Song Yiren from our village. I heard that she was arrested and brought to the police station. Can we meet her? Oh right, the person beside me is Song Yiren’s family.”

“Song Yiren?” Yang Tao pretended not to know. He pondered for a moment before asking, “I think there’s someone like her. What did she do?”

“I think she hired an assassin to kill someone. That’s what they said when they went to inform us,” Zhan Yiping said a little embarrassedly.

Yang Tao nodded. “This is no ordinary matter.”

“Can we visit her?” Xu Tiansheng asked anxiously.

Yang Tao shook his head. “No visits are allowed for this kind of crime until she’s been sentenced.” He had already promised Zhan Yihan not to let anyone visit Song Yiren. Furthermore, he had also gotten people to increase the security at the prison just in case.

“Big Brother Yang, can you make an exception this time?” Zhan Yiping looked at Yang Tao expectantly. She did not expect Song Yiren’s crime to be so severe that she would not even be allowed visitors.

Yang Tao sighed helplessly. “It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but there’s really nothing I can do about it. I can’t break the rules. If you want to see Song Yiren, you’ll have to wait until after she has been sentenced, but you have to be mentally prepared.”

Zhan Yiping looked at Xu Tiansheng disappointedly. “Uncle Xu, I can’t help you anymore.” She originally thought that as long as she opened her mouth, Yang Tao would definitely let them meet Song Yiren on account of her elder brother. She didn’t expect things to turn out this way.

Xu Tiansheng shook his head sadly. He looked at Yang Tao and asked, “Superintendent Yang, can I ask who she was trying to kill when she hired the assassin?”?If even the police station’s Superintendent couldn’t do anything, what could he do? Yiren! Why are you so foolish?!

Yang Tao took a sip of tea and said slowly, “I think it’s someone called Su Jinyue. I’m not too sure about the details.” Zhan Yihan wanted him to tell the truth. Some things had to be known sooner or later.

“What?!” Xu Tiansheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He felt dizzy.?How is this possible?

After Su Jinyue finished treating the patient, she saw that the sky outside was a little dark as though it was about to rain. She got up and walked into the backyard, intending to put away the herbs that were drying in the yard.

She had just gotten up when she heard footsteps outside. Thinking that there was another patient, she sat back down.

Seeing that it was Xu Tiansheng, Su Jinyue stood up and walked towards him.

“Teacher, you’re back. Why do you look so pale?” Noticing Xu Tiansheng’s pale face, Su Jinyue had asked him worriedly.?Does Teacher already know?

Xu Tiansheng tiredly shook his head. “I’m going to take a nap.”

He really didn’t know how to face Jinyue. He was the one who had raised both her and Yiren, but he didn’t expect that Yiren would actually hire someone to murder Jinyue for the sake of Zhan Yihan. How could he, as her Teacher, endure this!?

“Let me help you in.” Su Jinyue reached out to support Xu Tiansheng.

“No need. It’s going to rain soon. Go and put away the herbs in the courtyard.” Xu Tiansheng pulled his arm back and staggered into the room unsteadily.

Looking at Xu Tiansheng’s dejected back, Su Jinyue shook her head and sighed.?She didn’t want to make her Teacher sad, but there were some things that couldn’t be hidden in the end. It might not be a bad thing to find out sooner. However, Song Yiren had been arrested, so what should she do about going to school? She couldn’t leave her Teacher alone, could she?

Shaking her head, she headed towards the backyard.

Just as she put away the herbs, it started drizzling.

Su Jinyue glanced at Xu Tiansheng’s room before turning around and walking into the kitchen. This incident must have dealt a huge blow to her Teacher. She could only hope that her Teacher would come to his senses sooner.

Xu Tiansheng lay on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling. He only came back to his senses when someone knocked on the door.

“Teacher, it’s time for dinner.” Su Jinyue’s voice came from outside.

“Coming,” Xu Tiansheng replied. His voice sounded hoarse and dry, as if it was forced out of his throat.

Through her X-ray vision, Su Jinyue looked at Xu Tiansheng, who seemed to have been drained of all his energy. Her heart ached.

Xu Tiansheng opened the door and looked at Su Jinyue with a complicated expression. “Let’s go and eat.”?If Jinyue knew that Yiren wanted to kill her, she would be really sad. He definitely can’t let Jinyue know about this.

Su Jinyue nodded and went forward to hold Xu Tiansheng’s arm. “Teacher, I made your favorite braised meatballs in brown sauce and tomato egg soup today. You have to eat more rice.”

“Okay.” Xu Tiansheng forced out a smile.

The two of them came to the main room. After Xu Tiansheng sat down, he looked at Su Jinyue and said, “Jinyue, I have something to tell you.”

“Yeah!” Su Jinyue picked up a braised meat ball with her chopsticks and placed it into Xu Tiansheng’s bowl.

“That day, when I went to the county for a meeting, I made an application for the county to dispatch manpower here. Yesterday, the application was approved. They said that they would send a village doctor over next week to help me,” Xu Tiansheng said.

Jinyue and Yiren weren’t real village doctors, but they were afraid that he wouldn’t be able to handle everything by himself, so they had always been helping him.

The reason why he had made the application that day was because he thought that the two of them would get married sooner or later, so he might as well make the arrangements earlier.

He didn’t expect that before he had the chance to tell them about this matter, something would happen to Yiren.
