Gu Baisheng started crying, "Zhang Tiantian died as well? How did it happen?"

It was hard enough for her to accept Zhang Kai's death.

She didn't expect Zhang Tiantian to die, either.

What was going on?

Why did so many people die all of a sudden?

Gu Baisheng couldn't accept that.

Song Shuang knew that she was having a mental breakdown based on her voice.

He wished that he could go back to her right away and hold her in his arms.

But he couldn't.

He could only try to comfort her on his phone.

"Shengsheng, people will die at some point. Zhang Tiantian and Zhang Kai's death was an accident. Please don't be too sad."

Gu Baisheng pressed her lips and shook her head, "I can't accept it. Ye's death was an accident, too. Now Zhang Tiantian is dead. It doesn't sound like an accident to me."

Something suddenly occurred to Gu Baisheng.

She asked, "Did the Xiao Family do that? They wanted to kill Xiao Rong but accidentally killed Zhang Tiantian? How did it happen?"

Gu Baisheng asked Song Shuang and wanted more details from him.

Song Shuang became silent when she asked about the cause of Zhang Tiantian's death.

Gu Baisheng thought Song Shuang would tell her about the cause in greater detail.

But Song Shuang didn't.

"What's the cause?"

Gu Baisheng knew that as long as Song Shuang kept silent about the cause, there must've been something wrong with it.

"I'll tell you about it when you come here tomorrow."

Gu Baisheng froze.

Song Shuang said, "If your flight tickets are in the afternoon, I'll return to Beicheng first and fly to Gui Town with you."

Song Shuang felt unsafe letting two sad women fly to Gui Town alone.

Qu Xiaobo would crumble after finding out about Zhang Kai's death.

Gu Baisheng was not in a good state.

He really worried that they would have some accidents.

So, he planned to keep them company.

But he didn't foresee Zhang Kai's death.

So, he missed his flight back to Beicheng tonight.

He couldn't manage to go back to Beicheng before tomorrow morning.

So, he couldn't fly with them from Beicheng.

He felt worried to let them fly unaccompanied.

After a second thought, Song Shuang called Mo Shaoyan after this call.

Mo Shaoyan was so pissed off by Qu Xiaobo yesterday.

He was very drunk last night, so he went to bed very early. He was not very conscious now.

After picking up Song Shuang's call, he asked, "Hello?"

"It's me."

Mo Shaoyan was very familiar with Song Shuang's voice.

He suddenly woke up and got out of bed. He rubbed his forehead and asked, "Why do you call me early in the morning?"

"Book a flight ticket now. Find out Qu Xiaobo's flight and book two tickets. You're flying to Gui Town with her."

"Two tickets?"

Mo Shaoyan was confused, "Why do I book two tickets if it's just for me?"

"Shengsheng's coming, too."

"OK."

Mo Shaoyan followed the instruction and booked the tickets on his phone.

When he was about to finish the process, he suddenly felt confused, "Why do I need to go to Gui Town?"

"Zhang Kai is dead."

"Someone's dead. No wonder you want me to go with them. You're worried about their safety." Mo Shaoyan booked the tickets when he was talking. But after he finished doing so, he suddenly realized it, "Who is dead?"

"Zhang Kai."

"Qu Xiaobo's boyfriend?"

Mo Shaoyan screamed surprisedly.

Song Shuang responded, "Yeah."

"No way!"

Mo Shaoyan felt shocked on hearing the news, "Isn't he a policeman? How could he die? What happened?"

"It's very complicated. I'll tell you about it when you're here." Song Shuang was still worried about their journey, so he reminded him, "Take care of them on the trip. Qu Xiaobo didn't know about Zhang Kai's death. You mustn't tell her the news before arriving at Gui Town."

Mo Shaoyan nodded, "I know. If I tell her, she probably will die for him before arriving at Gui Town."

Song Shuang was silent.

But Zhang Kai was really important to Qu Xiaobo.

Qu Xiaobo would definitely crumble if she found out Zhang Kai's death.

She could possibly do something stupid.

After answering Song Shuang's phone, Mo Shaoyan didn't dare to delay.

He got up and got ready in a hurry.

He felt very angry and sorry for Qu Xiaobo when he recalled her prank yesterday.

He smoked a cigarette to calm himself down before setting out to find Gu Baisheng.

Song Shuang told him to come to see Gu Baisheng first.

Gu Baisheng lived at Hu Hui's house, so Mo Shaoyan knocked on Hu Hui's door according to the address given by Song Shuang.

Hu Hui hurried to open the door, wearing her apron.

She found Mo Shaoyan looked a bit familiar.

Mo Shaoyan knew that Hu Hui was Song Shuang's mother-in-law. Even though he knew who she was, she didn't know him.

So, he introduced himself to Hu Hui, "Hello, Auntie Hu! I'm Mo Shaoyan, Song Shuang's friend."

"Oh, Mr. Mo."

Hu Hui still didn't know what Mo Shaoyan was here for, "And you're looking for..."

"Song Shuang asked me to pick up his wife."

"Oh, you're here to pick up Shengsheng. Please come in and have a seat."

Hu Hui invited him in politely.

Although Mo Shaoyan was a playboy, he was very respectful to the older generation.

After inviting him in, Hu Hui made some tea for him in the kitchen.

Mo Shaoyan didn't see Gu Baisheng after he came inside, so he looked around curiously to search for Gu Baisheng.

After finishing making the tea and walking out of the kitchen, Hu Hui saw Mo Shaoyan looking around.

"Shengsheng is still in her room. Please enjoy some tea first. I'll tell her you're here."

Mo Shaoyan took over the tea politely and nodded, "Thank you so much, Auntie Hu."

Hu Hui smiled and had a good impression of Mo Shaoyan.

She felt that he was a very polite kid. She knew that Song Shuang's friends were all nice people.

Hu Hui knocked on Gu Baisheng's door.

Gu Baisheng heard the knocking and looked up in her bed.

She had been holding her knees and sitting against her headboard for hours.

She didn't realize that her legs were numb until she moved when she heard the knocking.

"Shengsheng?"

Hu Hui was calling her name outside her room.

Gu Baisheng didn't want Hu Hui to be worried, so she said, "Auntie Hu?"

"I'm coming in, Shengsheng."

Hu Hui twisted the door handle and noticed that the door wasn't locked. She greeted Gu Baisheng and walked in.

Gu Baisheng saw the door was pushed open by Hu Hui, so she turned around to wipe away her tears. She didn't want Hu Hui to worry about her.

Hu Hui walked in and saw Gu Baisheng turning her back at her as if she had been hiding something from her.

She was a bit confused, "What happened, Shengsheng?"

Gu Baisheng turned around and said, "I'm fine. I just woke up."

"Oh!" Hu Hui was scared when she saw Gu Baisheng's eyes, "What happened to your eyes? They are swollen."

Hu Hui was worried when she saw Gu Baisheng's swollen eyes, "What happened? Do you feel unwell? Why are your eyes red? You have strong dark circles. Didn't you sleep last night?"

Hu Hui raised Gu Baisheng up.

She knew her daughter very well. She knew that her daughter was not someone with a big heart and tended to keep unhappiness to herself.

She usually kept what happened during the day to herself because she didn't want to make anyone upset.

But it was not good for her mental health if she kept doing so.

She could easily feel overwhelmed by the negativity at night.

She remembered that when her daughter was in high school, she used to stay up all night and recall some sad memories.

She could cry in her bed for a long time when she thought about the sad memories.

And she often woke up with swollen eyes.

Because she had big eyes with beautiful double-edged eyelids, her eyelids would turn into single-edged after she woke up the next morning if she cried last night.

So, Hu Hui could tell if her daughter cried based on that.

Gu Baisheng hid lots of things from Hu Hui because she didn't want to make her worry.

So did she this time.

She rubbed her eyes and explained smilingly, "I had a nightmare last night, so I didn't sleep well."

"You can take a nap after breakfast."

Today was the third day after New Year's Eve.

They had no important thing to do, so she suggested Gu Baisheng should take a nap when she knew Gu Baisheng didn't sleep well last night.

Gu Baisheng shook her head smilingly, "No, I hear someone is outside."

Hu Hui's flat was not big, so she could hear any sound in this room.

Gu Baisheng heard the bell ring and Hu Hui talk to the guest.

But she didn't know who was the guest.

"He's here for you."

Hu Hui said.

"For me?"

Gu Baisheng felt surprised.

"He said he was Song Shuang's friend. And he's very polite."

"What does he want to see me about?"

Gu Baisheng was asking Hu Hui while putting on her sweater.

Hu Hui answered, "Song Shuang asked him to do so. I don't know anything specific."

"I'll have a look." Gu Baisheng pulled her hair out of the collar.

Then she followed Hu Hui out.

Mo Shaoyan was checking out the simple decoration. When he heard the footstep, he stood up.

Gu Baisheng was surprised when she saw Mo Shaoyan, "Why are you here?"

Mo Shaoyan smiled helplessly, "I'm the only one who is available. It has to be me."

Mo Shaoyan noticed that her eyes were swollen. When he recalled Song Shuang's words, he realized that she knew it, "Gui Town..."

"Let's talk about it on our way."

Gu Baisheng didn't want Mo Shaoyan to talk about Zhang Kai's death in front of Hu Hui.

Mo Shaoyan was not stupid. He knew what Gu Baisheng meant when she interrupted.

"I've booked the tickets. The same as Qu Xiaobo's. The flight is at 10 a.m. Maybe you can get ready now?"

"Wait a minute."

Gu Baisheng turned around and got ready in her room.
