Chapter 271: Chapter 271
Li Xianglu hung up the phone and first spoke to her grandfather. The old man went inside to make a call and then came out to tell Qin Xi, "Jiang Xinhua committed suicide."
So, what about Iro? Could it be that Jiang Xinhua deceived him and locked him up there?
Li Xianglu was somewhat worried, and Su Yan timely spoke up, "Now we can only wait for the police to find some clues and then follow those clues to find the person." Yes, until now we still don’t know whether Iro just went out and hasn’t come back, or if he’s locked up there by Jiang Xinhua, or perhaps an even worse situation, that Iro was killed.
Li Xianglu felt cold in her limbs, and Qin Xi hugged her and led her into the room, nestled in the bed. Li Xianglu lay in Qin Xi’s arms like an octopus, her mood low, and said, "Xixi, Iro will be okay, right?"
"It’ll be fine, go to sleep."
The night passed without words.
After who knows how long, Li Xianglu woke up groggily, the room was pitch black, she reached out her hand and found no one beside her, so she became much more awake, got up and turned on the light with the help from the outside light, frowned, and looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was eleven o’clock already. How long had she slept, and where had Qin Xi gone?
Li Xianglu felt a severe soreness in her waist; this was the aftermath of teasing, she almost couldn’t get out of bed.
After a quick wash, she put on a skirt and went out. By now it was already midnight, the lights in the living room were still on, Li Xianglu tensed up, afraid that there had been progress regarding Iro’s situation, so she quickened her pace.
Upon reaching the living room, she saw her grandfather and Su Yan sitting on the circular couch talking, they beckoned her over when they saw her enter.
Li Xianglu walked over, saw a cup of milk in front of Su Yan, picked it up and drank it down, suddenly feeling very thirsty.
Su Yan watched the cup being emptied, frowned and looked at Li Huai Ren, her expression aggrieved. Li Huai Ren quickly picked up the cup and said, "I’ll go make you another cup. Didn’t you say this one had too much sugar?"
Li Xianglu saw her grandfather quickly leave with the young man’s rapid steps and climbed onto the circular couch and asked, "Everyone’s gone? Is there news about Iro?"
Su Yan nodded and said, "Yes, they called just after ten o’clock, said the police gave three clues. Some people saw Jiang Xinhua going near Xiangshan, others saw them heading towards Nandaihe, and another said they went to the school."
Li Xianglu frowned and said, "Nandaihe is over three hundred kilometers from the capital, that’s impossible."
Most likely it’s either Xiangshan or the school then.
At this moment, Li Huai Ren came in, holding a cup of milk, carefully placed it on the machine on top of the circular couch, and said, "It’s a bit hot, wait a bit before drinking."
Li Xianglu couldn’t believe how silly her grandfather and Su Yan were, both in their sixties, and still showing off their affection and acting coy, it was nauseating.
Yet Su Yan didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with it, patted the spot next to her wanting Li Huai Ren to sit next to her.
Li Huai Ren’s face turned red, shook his head and sat down on a nearby stool, then told Li Xianglu, "Qin Xi and the others have gone to help search for the person. Because both places are too big, they split into two groups. Your brother and Qin Zhen went to Xiangshan, Qin Xi and the others went to the school."
Li Xianglu nodded, probably she had been asleep, so they didn’t wake her up.
The three of them sat there, chatting sporadically until after one o’clock, Li Xianglu saw that it wouldn’t work and told Su Yan, "Grandma Su, let’s all sleep, you have a long journey tomorrow, and not sleeping well could make you nauseous during the trip."
Su Yan yawned, nodded her head, and went inside to sleep with Li Huai Ren.
Li Xianglu couldn’t sleep, watching the eastern door close before she took out a tablet from the Storage Ring, turned it on, and started looking through the photo album.
She had no memory of how she came to this era; she planned to look at her previously taken photos to recall.
While flipping through, she saw a photo of an article in a newspaper, a small section saying a great leader sacrificed himself while rescuing students and teachers trapped on an island, accompanied by a small photo.
And this leader was named Qin Xi, born in 1958, and he sacrificed in the year 2012, making him 54 at the time.
Looking at the photo of the elderly Qin Xi, Li Xianglu couldn’t accept it at all, feeling more lost and confused. Qin Xi had saved her and then died, so then whose people were those chasing her?
This was a significant discovery, confirming her past life interaction with Qin Xi, although back then she was only 22.
What about this lifetime? Strangely, she appeared around him in ’74, and by a twist of fate, they ended up married.
As she thought, the silent night was harshly broken by the ringing of a phone.
Li Xianglu, not wanting to wake her grandparents next door, hurriedly picked up. The call was from Lu Anna, "Xiangxiang, Iro has been found, but your third brother is injured!"
