Zhao Yu stood at the entrance of the clinic, looking at Wen Ying with a face full of anxiety. It wasn't until Wen Ying nodded that he finally walked in.
"Dr. Wen, regarding Miaomiao's situation, I've been following up with them these past two days. We've found the item and are currently verifying her identity. It's said that they've contacted her surviving parents."
Wen Ying nodded and looked at him, "Are you afraid?"
Zhao Yu shook his head with a look of righteousness. He was no longer afraid, not even a little.
After learning about Meow Meow's ordeal, what he felt in his heart was not just sorrow. Perhaps for strangers, it would be like this: when people see a piece of news about something happening to someone they don't know, they feel this way. What a pity, such bad luck, let's catch the bad guys and kill them! So pitiful!
But for Zhao Yu, Miaomiao was clearly no longer a stranger.
It once was, but now it is not.
He witnessed the scene of Meow Meow's accident with his own eyes, saw Meow Meow appear beside him with his own eyes. As long as there is an intersection, this person in your life is no longer an unrelated stranger.
Meow Meow is his friend, even his sister.
These past few days have been tormenting for him, but now everything is about to settle. "I'm not afraid of anything anymore; those people have been caught! In a few days, this will definitely make the news, and it will give Miao Miao some closure. After being away from home for so many years, she can finally return to her parents."
Zhao Yu, who was speaking, was obviously feeling down again.
Yes, she returned to her parents, but only as a corpse, not as their living, breathing daughter.
Looking at Zhao Yu's expression, Wen Ying remembered something from her past life. At that time, she had met an older girl online, and they often chatted and played together on the internet. They had a great relationship, but then one day, the older girl suddenly disappeared. The person who appeared told Wen Ying that the older girl had left this world because she had gone to save her younger brother who had fallen into the water. She went in, but never came out again.
Wen Ying remembered how she couldn't stop crying at that time. She was not even twenty years old then, at the age when youth is most passionate about friendships, willing to give up everything for a friendship she believed in. Back then, it seemed no one understood why she would be so upset over a stranger she met online, just as now, no one understands Zhao Yu.
Wen Ying wanted to say she understood, but in the end, she didn't. There was no need.
"Two days?" Wen Ying suddenly remembered what Zhao Yugang had said.
"Yes, I haven't been to the clinic these past two days," Zhao Yu repeated, clearly unaware of the impact this word had on Wen Ying.
Have two days passed?
Wen Ying glanced at the calendar. Sure enough, she had only closed her eyes for a moment, and two days had passed on the mountain?
No wonder Uncle Zhang was so worried.
No wonder the spiritual energy in my body has recovered so much, no wonder my cultivation has advanced significantly.
"Dr. Wen, I want to ask, why can I see Meow Meow?"
After Zhao Yu went back, he thought for a long time. That shoe had always been there; it was impossible that no one had seen it
Wouldn't a shoe be disposed of by the sanitation workers after such a long time?
Thinking back and forth about this matter, it seems somewhat strange.
Hearing Zhao Yu's words, Wen Ying was silent for a moment, "Do you really want to know?"
Zhao Yu nodded.
"If you knew it would affect your life later?"
Zhao Yu fell silent.
"What if this even affects your family?"
Zhao Yu continued to remain silent. He had never thought that such a matter would be related to his family. At home, it was just his parents and his grandfather.
There were no other relatives with frequent contact.
If his momentary curiosity affected the family, then, was it worth it?
Wen Ying didn't rush Zhao Yu for an answer. She looked at the drawn banknotes, rubbing them with her fingers.
A few minutes later, she wrapped up the banknotes, intending to give them to Uncle Zhang, and then took out ten sheets of yellow paper from the drawer.
The prize for the winning fan, she still hasn't remembered to send it.
Put the items in a small waterproof bag
Zhao Yu was still sitting in the chair, racking his brains, deeply troubled.
[System upgrade complete, congratulations to the host for acquiring the skill {Flying and Burrowing}]
Wen Ying was stunned, flying to the sky and escaping to the ground?
Is it the kind of soaring through the skies and burrowing into the earth that she imagined?
Have I just started my cultivation journey and already ascended to heaven in one step?
[Soaring through the skies and burrowing into the earth: It's exactly what you think! Rejoice! Tremble!]
[But do you think you can soar through the skies and vanish into thin air? Stop dreaming, young man~]
[This skill is the best assistant for the host to send express deliveries~ No shipping fee required, and it arrives in just one hour! Isn't it a great deal? Don't you think this system is simply amazing~]
[Oh, I almost forgot, this skill can be used three times a week~ Good luck, my host!]
Wen Ying: "..."
The system, that damned thing, was clearly spying on her thoughts; otherwise, how could it have said it so accurately?
Repeatedly mocking oneself!
She had just spent fifteen yuan to send out a package!
Can I go back and get it now?
Forget it, she wasn't as shameless as the system!
"Wow! The host's reputation points are really high! Even during the days when this system was upgrading, the host didn't slack off! This is a very good habit! Does the host want to try the lottery?"
Wen Ying felt that with each system upgrade, she couldn't see any other improvements, but it had definitely upgraded into a chatterbox!
A lottery? Stop dreaming!
At the very least, we can't let the system climb up the pole right now.
Wen Ying looked at her reputation score, feeling a bit excited inside.
800,000!
This is not eighty, it's eight hundred thousand!
It was still the reputation value used after the system upgrade, which cost more than three hundred thousand!
"Dr. Wen, I've made up my mind," Zhao Yu's voice interrupted Wen Ying's excited thoughts.
Looking at Zhao Yu's resolute expression, Wen Ying remained silent, waiting for him to speak.
"Since this matter will affect my family, I have all the more reason to know! I want to know what connection Miaomiao has with my family!"
Zhao Yu seemed to have thought about many things, but there were no answers.
"Your father is not an only child; he has a sister."
Zhao Yu was stunned when he heard this. His aunt?
How could he not know he had an aunt? Zhao Yu thought for a moment. It seemed like his parents had never mentioned anything about his grandparents, nor had they ever said that his father was an only child. So, what was the connection between Miaomiao and his aunt?
"You guessed right, Miaomiao is indeed related to your aunt. It's normal that you don't know you have an aunt. She was sent away when she was very young. This is something your grandparents could never come to terms with, so while they were alive, your father never mentioned it."
"Send her away? Why would they send her away? I remember my dad once said that my grandparents always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately, they only had my dad as a son. How could they possibly send my aunt away?" Zhao Yu couldn't understand.
