She Lives without Regret in This Life

At that time, I had a bad feeling, but An’an was very obedient and clever.

She promised she would return to the country.

”She left with her things in the evening, saying she was returning to the country. I thought you knew.” Since An’an came suddenly, she must have her own way to leave, so Gu Yunbo didn’t pay much attention.

”She’s not returning to the country; she went to the Gambling City.” Sheng Ning felt half-terrified; she never thought An’an would do something so reckless.

”Go to the Gambling City?” Gu Yunbo tried to calm her, ”Why did she go to the Gambling City?”

”To save someone; Qin Yue was captured in the Gambling City.” Gu Yunbo had been busy with his own affairs these days and was not around during the day, so he wasn’t aware of many things.

”Are you talking about the son of the Southern District Commander, Little Hooligan Qin Yue?” Gu Yunbo almost thought he misheard, ”How did he come back? You’re not joking, right?”

”No, he came looking for An’an, and something happened halfway.” Sheng Ning didn’t want to say much; she needed to notify Qigang immediately to make sure An’an was brought back.

”Notify Qigang; he just left and should still be on time.”

Sheng Ning knew her place had Xu’s people stationed, so she used the pre-agreed Morse code to signal the emergency situation on the door but didn’t expect someone to knock before anyone showed up.

Gu Yunbo went ahead to open the door. It was a stranger, who first greeted Sheng Ning.

”Sister-in-law.”

”Hello! Is your team in?”

”The team has already left; they said to tell you that they’ll help bring An’an back.”

It seems Xu Qigang already knows about An’an’s disappearance, ”Okay! Thank you, thank you...” No matter how she expressed it, her heart felt like it was blocked by a stone she couldn’t put down.

”Goodbye, sister-in-law.” After the informant left, Sheng Ning stood still for a long time.

”Are you okay?” Gu Yunbo said self-reproachfully, ”If I had known, I would have stopped her today.”

”It’s not your fault.” Sheng Ning wiped her face, only to feel cold tears. ”If blame is to be placed, it should be on me for not caring enough about An’an.”

”How can it be your fault? You’re not a superhero who can handle everything.”

Su Hai is currently residing at the embassy; it’s late night in M country, while it is broad daylight domestically. Since the embassy re-opened its communication channels, all phone lines were restored.

He exerted tremendous effort to achieve the current situation.

Tonight, he hosted a banquet for several friendly Congress members at the embassy, which ended late at night. Standing at the door to see the guests off, a member of the Special Rescue Team rushed over urgently.

”What’s the matter?”

”Our team is already on the way to the Gambling City.”

”I know.” Su Hai raised his eyebrows, turned, and walked inside, saying as he walked, ”Has something unexpected happened?”

”Student Sheng An was not reassured about Deputy Director Qin, so she went to the Gambling City alone.”

The words stopped Su Hai in his tracks; his calm and composed voice changed, ”What did you say? Repeat that, please?”

”Uh...didn’t you hear clearly?”

Su Hai’s face turned grim; he heard it clearly, but it was hard to accept. Others might not know, but he understood best; An’an’s importance to the country far exceeded anyone else’s.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Weapon Research Institute would never be at ease leaving her in M country and were even more concerned she might be targeted by international criminals, so they arranged three bodyguards specifically for her safety.
