She wept in pain.

She couldn't help shivering from crying.

Mo Shaoyan was woken up from his nap by the sound.

He looked at the sickbed and found that Qu Xiaobo was shivering under the duvet.

The weeping sounds came from the pillow.

He hesitated and walked to her. He patted her back, "Are you OK?"

Qu Xiaobo stopped when he asked her, but she still buried her face in the pillow and refused to face anyone. She said in a toneless voice, "I'm fine."

Mo Shaoyan sighed, "I know you're sad. You can let your sorrow out. I won't laugh at you."

It sounded more painful when she tried to cry in secret.

Qu Xiaobo used to cry a lot when she was a child.

But she became a proud person and rarely cried in front of people.

But Zhang Kai's death put her on the brink of collapse.

She suffered a lot from inhibiting her emotions. After hearing Mo Shaoyan's words, she couldn't help wailing with the pillow in her arms.

The nurse on duty opened the door to check what was going on after hearing the wail, "What happened?"

Mo Shaoyan answered immediately, "It's fine. She's very sad, so I asked her to cry it out. She'll feel better after crying."

The nurse had witnessed all kinds of emotions in the hospital.

So, she nodded and left after she heard Mo Shaoyan's answer.

Mo Shaoyan walked to the door and closed it before he walked back to the bedside.

He reached out his hands and wanted to pat her back.

But as soon as he reached out his hands, he found it inappropriate, so he withdrew his hands.

Qu Xiaobo cried so sadly that it made him feel sorry for her.

After hearing her crying for a while, Mo Shaoyan couldn't help reaching out his hands to pat her back gently.

He could be fun and humorous when he was in a relationship.

But when girls cried, he had no idea of what to do, especially when it was Qu Xiaobo.

He tried to open his mouth to comfort her several times.

But he felt that words were very stupid and powerless.

Words tended to be so superficial and powerless in face of the pain of losing your beloved ones.

Qu Xiaobo had been crying for a long time before she calmed down and stopped crying.

When Mo Shaoyan noticed that she stopped crying, he poured her a cup of warm water and held her up.

Qu Xiaobo's eyes got so red and swollen.

She looked up and thanked Mo Shaoyan when he passed the cup over to her.

Mo Shaoyan answered immediately, "You're welcome. Do you feel better now?"

Qu Xiaobo just nodded in silence.

Zhang Kai's death hit her hard.

She couldn't recover from it even if she cried three days in a row.

She couldn't forget the sadness or return to her normal life.

But she felt that time would change everything.

Time would heal her.

She might not feel so sad over time.

But now she felt like swallowing thorns every breath she took due to the sorrow.

"Please don't cry. Crying is bad for your baby. You need to take good care of it."

Mo Shaoyan comforted her clumsily.

Qu Xiaobo couldn't get over the sorrow so quickly, but she felt better when someone tried to comfort her.

...

After Gu Baisheng and Song Shuang took Xiao Rong back, they settled him in the hotel where they lived.

Caixia Town only had a small population, so it had no fancy hotel.

There were only some family-owned hotels.

The hotel chosen by Sun Jing was the best-reviewed and cleanest one here.

The owners were an old couple in their 60s and the old lady's hair had turned grey.

When they saw Gu Baisheng and Song Shuang bring a man in rags, the couple thought they brought a homeless man here.

After taking a close look, they said surprisedly, "What happened to this beautiful kid?"

When the old man heard his wife's exclamation, he looked in this direction.

His eyes became wide open after glancing at him.

The old couple had been living in Caixia Town for decades but hadn't seen such a good-looking person.

"Whose daughter is she? What happened to her? Why is she in rags?" The old lady looked at Xiao Rong's filthy look and felt sorry for him, "Did she get bullied? Poor girl, you can take a shower here. My granddaughter's clothes are still here. I can pick up some for you."

The old lady tried to turn around and get some clothes while speaking.

Gu Baisheng was a little embarrassed.

Song Shuang coughed gently and thanked her, "No need, auntie. My friend is a man."

"A man?"

The old couple widened their eyes.

They checked Xiao Rong out.

Xiao Rong hid behind Gu Baisheng.

Gu Baisheng protected Xiao Rong and smiled at the old lady, "Auntie, my friend had an accident. He needs to take a shower now. I have to go upstairs with him now."

"Well... OK. Go ahead."

Gu Baisheng turned around and pushed Xiao Rong upstairs.

Song Shuang followed them up.

After they left, the old lady talked to her husband in a low voice, "What a beautiful boy! I thought he was a girl! He's so good-looking!"

"I don't know if it's a good thing for a man to look like that."

The old man shook his head.

The old lady was still thinking about Xiao Rong's look, "I can't imagine how pretty his mother is!"

"Thousands of men would fall for him if he were a girl!" She became a little bit worried at this moment, "Unlike our granddaughter, she never brings a boyfriend home."

"Come on! She's in her early 20s! No need to rush."

"I don't know if this handsome boy is married or not. I believe our granddaughter would like him!"

The old lady had her own plan.

The old man glanced at her, "But would he like to marry her?"

"Everything is easier if girls make the first move! Call her now!"

The old lady rushed her husband into making the call.

But when he was making the call, he suddenly recalled something and stopped.

The old lady asked him confusedly, "Why did you stop?"

"He didn't say anything, did he?"

"Who?" The old lady was confused.

"That beautiful boy."

"No, he didn't." The old lady answered.

The old man said uncertainly, "Didn't Zhang Tiantian who just died brought a beautiful and mute man back?"

The old lady opened her mouth in surprise, "Is that him?"

The old man nodded.

The old lady was in deep thought and became worried, "Zhang Tiantian was dead shortly after she brought him back. Is him a beautiful disaster?"

The old man didn't answer.

Upstairs, Gu Baisheng gave Xiao Rong a new outfit brought by Song Shuang to Gui Town.

Song Shuang took a seat in the room.

Xiao Rong sat by the bed and gestured when he saw Gu Baisheng put the clothes on his bed, "Thank you."

Gu Baisheng looked at Song Shuang.

She noticed that Song Shuang didn't intend to talk to Xiao Rong, so she pulled a chair to sit across from Xiao Rong, "Take a shower first. I want to talk to you afterwards."

Xiao Rong nodded and took the clothes to the bathroom.

Song Shuang noticed Xiao Rong was limping.

Xiao Rong got this problem when he was little. His family didn't offer him proper treatment for years.

The problem would be with him forever.

Gu Baisheng watched Xiao Rong walk into the bathroom and asked Song Shuang, "Can we ask him about the cause of Zhang Kai's death directly?"

"He is the witness of Zhang Kai and Zhang Tiantian's death, so we have to ask him to explain everything clearly."

Gu Baisheng nodded after hearing his words, "OK."

Xiao Rong entered the bathroom and took off his dirty clothes.

His body was reflected in the mirror.

The scars on his body could be seen from a distance.

The scars were old.

They were scary to look at.

After he took off his last piece of clothes and walked underneath the showerhead, he bent down and touched the scars on his leg.

At the same time, at the Caixia Police Station, Su Yuan, Sun Jing's colleague, was surprised when he looked at the footage of the surveillance camera, "Why are there so many scars on his body?"

"Didn't we investigate it before? His family didn't treat him well." Sun Jing answered.

Su Yuan worked at Beicheng Police Station.

After Zhang Kai's death, Caixia Police Station informed Zhang Kai's family to pick up his body.

Lots of Zhang Kai's former colleagues went to Gui Town, too.

Su Yuan was one of them.

Su Yuan and Zhang Kai had been colleagues for more than ten years and they were very close.

Zhang Kai's death made him sad, too.

He was a bit suspicious about the cause of Zhang Kai's death.

Although all the evidence about the crime scene suggested that the two criminals killed Zhang Kai, he felt that Xiao Rong was suspicious because he was involved in both cases.

On his first day of arrival, Song Shuang who showed up first questioned Xiao Rong's innocence.

Now Sun Jing was here, too.

They decided to conduct a secret investigation on Xiao Rong after discussion.

Expectedly, Xiao Rong became a man of interest.

The investigation included putting Xiao Rong on surveillance.

When Xiao Rong lived on the mountain, it was not easy to do so.

But now he no longer lived there, it was much easier.

Inside the bathroom, Xiao Rong lay down in the bathtub after taking a shower.

The bathwater was very clean.

Through the bathwater, the scars on his body could still be seen.

Su Yuan felt sorry for Xiao Rong, "He's the only son of his family. Why would they do that to him?"
