Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Ask at Home
Li Yanling had never imagined that he would choose such a place.
But since she hadn’t seen him for so long, she couldn’t possibly refuse now, so at the moment, she was holding him tightly.
The two of them kept on kissing without stopping.
And soon, Liu Zheng raised his hand to take off her clothes.
It was quite a while before they finally seemed satisfied.
Right away, Liu Zheng lifted her up and placed her on the sofa.
Then he used a blanket nearby to cover her slightly.
"By the way, I have something to tell you."
Upon hearing these words, the person in front of him naturally felt a bit puzzled, not knowing what was coming.
"What’s wrong? What is it?"
He spoke up immediately after.
"I might have to go out of town in a couple of days. If there’s anything you need, remember to contact me."
Although he had already roughly mentioned it before, for some reason, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
That’s why he hoped he could remind her again.
Upon hearing this.
How could the person in front of him not know what to do?
"Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself while you’re away. But you also need to take good care of yourself, eat well, sleep well."
Li Yanling raised her hand to draw circles on his chest.
Liu Zheng nodded slowly.
Being with Li Yanling truly made him feel at ease.
It was a feeling that few could give him.
Usually, it was he who brought such experiences to others.
He had intended to have a good rest.
But unexpectedly, at that moment, the matter of the old man came back into his mind.
He felt very helpless about such a thing.
He didn’t know why it was so.
Especially in light of some recent events.
Some things seemed very elusive and mysterious.
At present, he had not been able to explain everything clearly.
So he couldn’t help but raise his hand to gently touch his forehead.
He closed his eyes.
His mind kept thinking about that issue, and he didn’t speak again.
Li Yanling, having been by his side for quite a while, had come to know him quite well.
Seeing him frown, she could guess that he was probably troubled by something.
Therefore, she immediately asked, "What’s wrong? You seem a little unhappy."
After hearing her speak, the man in front of her finally seemed to come out of his own world.
He shook his head gently.
But he didn’t know how to talk about such a matter.
It took quite a while before he finally organized his thoughts and spoke.
"You should know about the recent incident with the old gentleman, right?"
When he said this, the person in front of him nodded without hesitation.
The neighbors were all talking about it; how could she not be aware of it?
And to be honest, she found it quite frightening.
Previously, even if she went out alone to shop at night, it didn’t seem too scary.
But something that happened recently has indeed instilled a sense of fear in her.
She didn’t even dare to come home alone later in the evening anymore.
"I’m sure I’ve heard about it, and it seems to be quite serious, to be honest, I’m quite scared myself."
"Recently, I haven’t walked at night much, I’ve almost always gone home early."
Seeing that she was aware, Liu Zheng didn’t bother explaining further.
Instead, he quickly voiced his thoughts.
"At the moment, I find some things strange, and I even confirmed with the dean that they definitely cremated that old man because he was carrying some virus."
"But what those people said they saw afterwards is somewhat unbelievable to me."
As he spoke, Li Yanling in front of him couldn’t help but shiver violently.
Just hearing about it was frightening enough for her.
Let alone those who actually witnessed it.
"My God, isn’t that just too terrifying? I can’t imagine what I would do if I saw such a scene."
Upon hearing this.
The person in front of him shook his head immediately.
"I really hope we can solve this quickly, so people don’t remain in such a panic."
"But we don’t have any leads at the moment, so if you hear anything from anyone, you must tell me."
After hearing this, how could the person in front of him refuse?
She certainly wouldn’t keep anything from Liu Zheng, and if she knew anything, she would tell him without hesitation.
So, she nodded immediately.
"Okay, no problem, don’t worry. If I really find out anything, I will surely tell you."
But after all, everyone is just an ordinary person.
We can’t just get clues whenever we want them.
Liu Zheng stayed at her place for a while before getting ready to leave.
After all, he had many problems to solve on his own.
Many things to do.
"Then take good care of yourself, I’ll be going now."
Soon after, he left the place quickly.
Waiting until he got home.
He couldn’t help but start thinking about the matter again, seriously contemplating what his next steps should be.
And at that moment.
He suddenly remembered a very important matter.
That was the child who was scared silly a few days before.
He wondered how he was now, whether he remembered what had happened.
Quickly, he packed up his things and prepared to visit, to see what the situation was like now.
Fortunately, they were neighbors, so everyone knew each other; otherwise, he would have had no idea where they lived.
Before long, he arrived at their front door and gently knocked.
But there was no response at all.
After a good while, he knocked again.
Yet there was still no one inside.
He was about to leave, thinking to come back later, or perhaps to visit the next day.
But just as he was turning around to leave, he spotted that familiar child and his mother.
When the woman saw Liu Zheng, she immediately said with gratitude,
"Dr. Liu, how come you’re here? We really owe you a lot for the other day, otherwise, my child would never have recovered."
After finishing speaking, she immediately patted the child next to her.
