The criminal investigation progressed rapidly.
The police have determined it was Mr. X.
Just as Lin Shu had suspected.
"But he won't confess, we don't know how many teams he has sent out, so you must be cautious of your safety. You can seek our assistance at any time if you run into any problems."
"Alright."
After the phone conversation, Lin Shu felt rather heavy-hearted.
They might as well have said nothing at all.
The people Mr. X dispatched are still a mystery, plunging Lin Shu's safety deeper into a foggy unknown.
Xiao Wenyue had been cooped up at home for four days already, starting to get restless.
"Mummy, I want to go outside."
Xiao Wenyue would stare out the window seemingly at nothing, a sight that evoked heartache in Lin Shu.
"Can you hang in there just a bit longer? We'll go out tomorrow."
Lin Shu decided to discuss a plan with Fang Zhi that night.
"Okay." Upon hearing the prospect of going out tomorrow, Xiao Wenyue's eyes immediately lit up.
