Chapter 161：[ 161 ] Face Reality

"Xingxing, mommy's back." Outside the door, Lan Qiqi heard Lanxingxing crying. Lan Qiqi's heart was about to break and she rushed into the bedroom. "Xingxing, don't cry. Mommy is back."

"Mommy... I want daddy." Lanxingxing was crying and the The jiang family was filled with sadness. Although Lanxingxing was young, he could feel that something had happened to his father.

"Mommy will take you to see daddy some other day. Xingxing is going to get up and go to school today." Lan Qiqi took the clothes before he got up and put them on Lanxingxing, intending to send Lanxingxing to school later.

"But the aunts said daddy won't be coming back." Lanxingxing's mouth was flat as he looked at the maid standing in front of him.

"Don't say that. Daddy won't leave me and Xingxing behind. He'll definitely come back." Lan Qiqi glared at the mouthy maid and was a little angry. How could such a thing be told to a child?

"Where did daddy go?" Lanxingxing asked her mother in confusion. She hadn't seen her father for days.

"Daddy's on a business trip. He'll be back in a few days." After getting dressed, Lan Qiqi led Lanxingxing to the bathroom, helped her clean up, and then sent her to school, not wanting to affect a small child because of Jiang Xiaoyun.

"Really?" Lanxingxing still looked at Lan Qiqi doubtfully.

Lan Qiqi almost burst into tears again when she met her daughter's clear and suspicious eyes. "Of course it's true. Xingxing, brush your teeth and wash your face. Mommy will send you to school later."

"Okay, mommy." Lanxingxing picked up the toothbrush and stood on the stool, brushing his teeth against the bathroom mirror.

"Mommy will go back and change and send Xingxing to school later." Seeing that his daughter was very obedient, Lan Qiqi turned around and changed.

"Let me see Xingxing off today. You're still sick. Have a good rest." As soon as Lan Qiqi came out, Auntie li went forward and advised Lan Qiqi to take a rest.

"Auntie li, it's still me. After delivering Xingxing, Gao Sheng and I will go to the Police station to make a statement." The statement was to be recorded by the Police station yesterday, but Lan Qiqi and Gao Sheng were seriously ill, so they didn't run to the Police station in time. Lan Qiqi wanted to send lan Xingxing to school, so she went with Gao Sheng. Just in time, she wanted to know how the accident happened, and how did the well-behaved Jiang Xiaoyun meet a ship with explosives?

This matter had always been a knot in her heart.

"Well, be careful on the road." Seeing that Lan Qiqi had something to do, Auntie li didn't say anything.

"Yeah." Lan Qiqi went back to her bedroom to change into a new set of clothes, and then took Lanxingxing to school with Gao Sheng.

On the way to the Public security bureau, Lan Qiqi was particularly curious and asked Gao Sheng, "What did you do that morning? Why did you encounter such a dangerous thing as a ship explosion?"

Lan Qiqi never understood this question.

She was fine with Jiang Xiaoyun that morning, and he didn't say anything to himself. Why did he run into such a dangerous thing in the blink of an eye?!

"The other day, young master and I went to get the medicine that Xu Manli and her daughter had in their hands to remove the birthmark on young madam's face. But who knew that when we got there, we found that the medicine had been taken away. We followed the words that the man left behind and found the ship at the dock. Young master rushed to the ship because he was afraid that the ship would sink and destroy the medicine. The young master was in a hurry, so he didn't take extra precautions. As soon as we got the medicine, the ship exploded..." None of them knew that someone would fill the ship with explosives, but when they found out, it was too late...

"You mean, Jiang Xiaoyun was designed to remove the birthmark from my face because he helped me find it?" Hearing Gao Sheng's words, Lan Qiqi was shocked. It turned out that Jiang Xiaoyun was killed because of himself. How could he be so stupid to take such a big risk for a bottle of medicine?!

"You can't blame young madam or young master for this. You can only blame the enemy for being too cunning." Gao Sheng clenched his fists in anger.

"Who was the one who buried the explosives on the ship?" Lan Qiqi asked hatefully. What did he and Jiang Xiaoyun have against each other? As for the cruel means?!

"We're still looking into it." Gao Sheng replied, "That man is very secretive, but one thing is certain. He is very familiar with young master Jiang. He not only called young master Jiang, but also knew young madam very well."

Otherwise, the man wouldn't have known that his young master cared so much about the bottle of medicine that could cure Lan Qiqi's birthmark.

"That man was so mad that he killed even my aunt and Ouyang Jingrong's innocent people, and they died so miserably." Someone who knew himself and Jiang Xiaoyun well, who was that person?

Lan Qiqi frowned deeply, feeling that his heart was pressed against a kilogram of iron.

"I believe that one day I will catch him and take a bad breath for everyone." Gao Sheng's clenched fists creaked, and his heart was filled with anger at the thought of his young master, who had not heard a single word.

"That man is really hateful. I hope jiang xiaoyun can live." Lan Qiqi frowned, feeling depressed.

"Young master Jiang will definitely survive..." Gao Sheng comforted Lan Qiqi as well as himself.

"Yeah." Of all the people, Gao Sheng was the only survivor. Lan Qiqi always had a glimmer of hope when he saw Gao Sheng. Gao Sheng and Jiang Xiaoyun jumped into the water together, Gao Sheng survived, and the chances of jiang xiaoyun surviving must be very high...

After a while, the car quickly drove to the Police station. Lan Qiqi and injured Gao Sheng went to take notes together, hoping to help the police find out who the murderer was.

In the evening, the police asked all kinds of questions, and they also asked about Xiaoyun mall in Lianjiang. However, for those questions, only Gao Sheng knew, and Lan Qiqi sat aside and listened quietly until Lanxingxing was about to leave school, Lan Qiqi and Gao Sheng did not leave the Police station.

"Young madam, let's go. The police will inform us if anything happens." Gao Sheng got into the car with an injury.

"I'd better send you home first. Stay at home and recuperate these days. Don't run around." Gao Sheng was injured so badly that Lan Qiqi felt a little guilty.

So, after sending Gao Sheng off, Lan Qiqi ran to school to pick up lan Xingxing again.

"Mommy..."

"Xingxing, did you behave well in class today?" Lan Qiqi stroked her daughter's head and pretended to be strong. He didn't want the adults' emotions to affect the children, nor did he want the little girl to know what to say. The children should be happy.

"Mommy, I don't want to go to class these days. Oh, I miss daddy." Lanxingxing looked like a little adult, listless.

"How can you not want to go to class? Daddy will be back in a few days. He said he would bring Xingxing a present." Lan Qiqi carried Lanxingxing into the car.

"Mommy, you told me secretly that daddy would bring me a magic horse?" Hearing the gift, Lanxingxing's small eyes grinned into crescents.

"Guess what daddy will bring to Xingxing baby?" Lan Qiqi asked Lanxingxing.

"My favorite Jeanne cookies bear cookies." Lanxingxing answered, because daddy always bought this for her.

Lan Qiqi shook his head. "Daddy said he won't give Jeanne cookies to Xingxing this time."

"Hey, daddy won't give me cookies? Then what will he give me?" Lanxingxing scratched his forehead and thought, "Did daddy want to give me a genuine cartoon disc?"

Oh, it's hard to guess. Daddy's gift is either bear biscuits or cartoons. If he doesn't give them, what will he give them?

"Xingxing is so smart. Daddy said that when he comes back from his business trip, he will give Xingxing a set of duck and mickey mouse discs." Lan Qiqi smiled.

"Great, I can watch cartoons again." Lanxingxing didn't know how happy he was.

"Then let's go home for dinner."

"Okay."

"...

Because of Lanxingxing, Lan Qiqi came through the tough days in a row, but no matter how the police and The jiang family bodyguards rescued him, there was still no news about Jiang Xiaoyun, not even the items on his body.

It was as if Jiang Xiaoyun had disappeared from the world...

Gradually, the police lost the significance of the search, so a week later, the search boat was canceled.

In fact, the police and the The jiang family bodyguards could have withdrawn after three days, but the The jiang family had been hoping that they would look for more. The police had only rescued the jiang family for a week, but after a week, everyone was exhausted and no longer had the energy to look for a needle in a haystack. And everyone had no hope of Jiang Xiaoyun's survival, so after holding out for a week, they withdrew the ship. Only the The jiang family bodyguards were still holding out.

"Have you found Jiang Xiaoyun?" Almost every day when she woke up, Lan Qiqi asked Gao Sheng the same question.

"Young madam, it's time to face reality. Young master Jiang can't come back." Falling into the lake alone would kill someone in a day, not to mention a week. Gradually, Gao Sheng accepted the fact that his young master had died.

"No... I don't believe it." Lan Qiqi covered his head in pain and his heart was bleeding, unwilling to face reality.

"It's been a week. If young master Jiang could come back, he would have come back a long time ago. He wouldn't have been rescued for more than a week, and there's still no news." Most of his young master was buried at the bottom of the lake.

"No, I believe Jiang Xiaoyun is still alive. He must still be alive..." Lan Qiqi closed his eyes in pain and tears kept falling.

"Young madam is very sad. You still have Miss Xingxing to raise. She's still young. She can't live without you." Not knowing how to persuade Lan Qiqi, Gao Sheng could only use Lanxingxing to enlighten Lan Qiqi. Lanxingxing was now the only support for Lan Qiqi.

"I know. I won't let it go." Lan Qiqi wiped away her tears.

"Mommy, why are you crying?" After school in the afternoon, Lanxingxing ran into the living room and saw her mother, Lan Qiqi, with tears all over her face.

Lanxingxing ran over and hugged his mommy. "Did someone bully mommy?"

Lan Qiqi shook her head and hugged Lanxingxing even tighter. "After that, only Xingxing will be left for mommy."

"Mommy, don't cry. Xingxing will always be with mommy... And daddy..." Seeing how sad his mommy was crying, Lanxingxing was also sad in vain.
