She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 972: Chapter 1026: Left Hand, Right Hand

Sun Gan gave a glance to the others, signaling them to mind their own business. Then he walked over with Hai Yunfeng and his group to the side, under a locust tree, and explained, ”Let me explain. All the charges against Mayor Liu are true. I didn’t fabricate them.

As for those two gunshots earlier, you saw it too. If I hadn’t fired, they would have hacked someone with a knife. I had no choice!”

Ji Lihua said, ”That’s indeed the case. I’ve checked; Mayor Liu really isn’t a good person.”

”There are many ways to stop a madman, but you chose the most brutal. Who instructed you to do this? Su Jiang or Su Hai?”

Sun Gan nodded and said directly, ”Someone wants them to lose one left hand, one right hand each. You can report to my superior for details.” Don’t be fooled by how Sun Gan behaves obediently in front of Su Hai; he’s actually a tough guy.

Otherwise, Su Hai wouldn’t have relied on him so much from the beginning. When he’s ruthless, he doesn’t listen to anyone but Su Hai, even if it’s the Minister of the General Political Department. Arrest if you want; he didn’t do anything wrong in that situation just now.

Originally, he had thought it would be difficult to act, and he’d have to use some unpleasant means. But they acted foolishly and came to him on their own; who could he blame?

”Okay, I got it!” Hai Yunfeng didn’t seem angry, or at least it didn’t show on the surface. ”You come back with us! I’ll have Su Hai write me a report.”

”Thank you, leader.”

Hai Yunfeng didn’t ask who had the audacity to demand two hands, such things could easily be found out with an investigation. Originally planning to return tomorrow, Hai Yunfeng decided to head back immediately because of this incident.

He had embarked on this search full of hope and expectation, but ultimately returned disappointed.

A ninety percent chance of not finding anything?

In this lifetime, will he have the chance to see Bao’er again? Thinking of this, Hai Yunfeng’s formerly straight back even showed a slight stoop.

Mr. Sheng and his wife returned home to find Shen Luhua staring blankly at a small table.

”Luhua, have some water. You’ll worry the child if you keep this up.”

Shen Luhua paused for a moment, holding the enamel cup filled with water and said worriedly, ”An’an has been gone for quite a few days. I wonder how she’s doing!”

”Don’t worry, the in-laws haven’t returned yet. When they come back, they’ll surely bring good news. It’s been quite a few days, and it should be just a few more before they return.”

”Hmm!”

Sheng Laosan sat in front of her, concern in his eyes, hesitated for a long time, wanting to speak but ultimately said nothing.

”Is there something you want to ask me?”

”I just want to advise you not to keep everything inside. It’s not good for your health.”

”Laosan.” Shen Luhua sighed, her eyes now lined with fine wrinkles, making her seem even older. ”I’m sorry, I’ve hidden many things from you over the years.”

”I know.” Sheng Laosan’s words surprised her, making her eyes widen.

”You’ve always been avoiding Ningning’s uncle, and today when you saw that leader, you had that look again. How could I not know?” Sheng Laosan was exceptionally open-minded, appearing so grand and great in Shen Luhua’s eyes, like never before.

”Is that man An’an’s father?”

”How did you know?”

”You refused to say a word back then, and later, when An’an occasionally asked about him, you’d gnash your teeth. I guessed that An’an’s father might not really be dead.”

”Then why... why have you never said anything?”
