Yun Nan shook her head gently. “It wasn’t by sight; it was a feeling. Xiang Yang should understand that sort of feeling. I don’t need to look at someone’s face to know straightaway they aren’t my husband.”
Xiang Yang looked at Shi Ke and nodded. “Yeah. Your small team of five all share similar heights and builds, but I can still pick you out at a glance. It’s a woman’s intuition.”
Shi Ke looked back at Xiang Yang and smiled dotingly. “You guys simply passed it off as intuition. Did you know how scared out of our wits we were? We’d feared that something had gone wrong somewhere.”
Yun Nan worriedly replied, “You and Shi Nian aren’t twins. You guys might be able to fool those unfamiliar with you two, but before those who spend a lot of time around you guys, I’m afraid you’ll be exposed at any moment.
“This isn’t the first time Shi Nian and I have switched places. I had a sudden idea in the past and brought Shi Nian into the army. I had him wear my clothes, and even the colonel didn’t suspect he wasn’t me from far away,” Shi Ke told her seriously.
He continued, “Shi Nian is also very familiar with my life and habits, so he’ll be fine for now. Moreover, my entire team is beside him to cover for him; he’ll be fine for the time being. It’s imperative we catch the mole. We must get them fast and clean in one shot, or it’ll be catastrophic if they stay hidden in the army.”
“Someone would definitely take advantage of my injury to come out and cause trouble this time. I can’t afford to be down and out before we investigate thoroughly and find out who the mole is. That’s why I came up with this plan.”
Yun Nan nodded. “Before, Shi Nian was lamenting that he couldn’t help you. He’ll definitely do a good job now that he has the chance to.” She was saying this more to herself. Anyone would be as afraid as she was at this moment if they were in her shoes. After all, this was a matter of life and death.
Xiang Yang softly informed Shi Ke about Lin Yu’s visit. Then she stated, “I have to go back now, or it’ll arouse more suspicion. Yun Nan, I’ll leave the Shi Ke to you. Please take care of him! I’ll appreciate it!”
Yun Nan nodded. “I’m also handing Shi Nian over to you. We’ll wait for you both to return and attend our wedding!”
Xiang Yang smiled and nodded, but her tears still fell uncontrollably. Shi Ke reached out and patted her head. “Silly girl! Don’t cry; it’s okay! I’m fine!” Xiang Yang sniffed, “I’m going now! Be good and get well soon!”
Shi Ke lightly tugged her hair and replied, “Yeah, yeah. I know! You’re such a nag!”
Xiang Yang smiled through her tears. “Hmph! Well, you won’t be able to hear me nag in the future!” She couldn’t help but shiver after saying that. Shi Ke spent more time away on missions than with her, and though it might be goodbye forever every time he left, Xiang Yang still firmly believed that Shi Ke would definitely return. However, just now, she suddenly had an ominous feeling.
It was already late at night when Xi Cheng rushed to the hospital. He went to see Shi Nian first, but a nurse stopped him, telling him he couldn’t visit as visiting hours were over. He wanted to go and ask Yun Nan how Shi Nian was, but he then thought of her relationship with Fang Xi and knew Yun Nan didn’t like him, so he could only give up and head over to check on his mother.
When he arrived at his mother’s ward, he looked in through the crack of the slightly opened door. Lin Yu was wiping his mother’s body. This was originally the nurse’s job, but Lin Yu was worried about handing that task to others and insisted on doing it herself.
Xi Cheng would’ve been very touched by this scene if it were in the past. But today, for some reason, Gu Man’s words suddenly rang in his mind as he stared at Lin Yu. ” Your household staffhave long been bought by her. Othervvise, how else could she know Godmothers preferences so accurately and even precisely manipulate Godmothers emotions? You’re all fooled by her calm and disinterested appearance!”
‘Did she? Did Lin Yu really do that? he thought. He then heard a low sob.
“Mom, can you please wake up? I really can’t take it anymore. I don’t know what to do. In this world, no one is sincerely kind to me aside from you. How am I supposed to live without you?! Mom, please wake up!” Lin Yu cried, kneeling on the ground and leaning against Han Yuan’s bed.
Xi Cheng’s chest tightened, and he quickly pushed the door open and walked in.
“Lin Yu…”
Lin Yu was shocked and hurriedly stood up. She didn’t even wipe her tears before asking, “Why are you back? Didn’t you say you have a business social tonight?”
“You and Mom are more important than any social. I came to see you two!” Xi Cheng said loudly.
Lin Yu was stunned. It was the first time she’d heard such words from Xi
Cheng. Xi Cheng stepped forward to look at his mother and raised his voice. “Mom, wake up. Lin Yu is about to fall apart. Wake up for her sake, if not for mine.”
Lin Yu quickly stopped him. “How can you talk to Mom like that? Xi Cheng! Don’t shout at Mom! She’ll get angry!”
Xi Cheng nonchalantly uttered, “She can be as angry as she wants so long as she wakes up! We can’t let her continue to sleep like this.. Look at how exhausted you are! Mom’s heart will definitely ache when she wakes up and sees the state you’re in!”
