After Jiang Qinghan returned to the hotel, she swiftly packed her luggage, suddenly feeling that Beijing was dangerous, and she wanted to return immediately.

But all of a sudden, her phone lit up. It was a call from Hao Nan.

Hesitating for a long time, she ultimately chose to pick up the call and asked, "What is it?"

"Gu Yang went to look for you?" Hao Nan asked in a grave tone.

"That's right, and I'm extremely disappointed in you. You've actually kept me in the dark on this matter for so long!" Jiang Qinghan replied.

As a bitter smile rose on Hao Nan's lips, he warned, "This matter implicates many people, and it's dangerous. You cannot investigate this matter, and the reason why I kept it from you is because I wanted to keep you safe."

"Are you related to the failure of the mission that Yan Sun's team was assigned with?" Jiang Qinghan questioned.

"I was only executing my orders!" Hao Nan continued to explain, "I was once a soldier, and Yan Sun was one as well. The moment he dons a military uniform, he will have to come to understand things."

Forcefully shaking her head, Jiang Qinghan reprimanded, "You guys aren't doing it for the country, but your own interest."

She came to the conclusion that Yan Sun's mission touched someone's interest, which was why he would fall into a trap.

Her words left Hao Nan speechless, before he begged, "You've misunderstood. Can we meet up and talk?"

"No need, I'm returning right now!" Jiang Qinghan decisively refused.

"Beijing isn't a place for you, and it's good for you to leave." Hao Nan muttered to himself.

"I will find Yan Sun and bring him back!" Jiang Qinghan suddenly declared.

"Are you insane?" Hao Nan's voice became heavy as he continued, "Letting him live is already the best compensation for him. Do you want him to die?"

"He's my husband, and he's my family. I can't accept the fact that he can't return home despite having one, and I must bring him back!" Jiang Qinghan refuted in disdain.

"What if Yan Sun has already forgotten about you and is currently leading a good life?" Hao Nan sighed.

"Then I will give up!" Jiang Qinghan spat out a mouthful of breath and continued, "I have to meet him and receive an answer from him personally."

When Hao Nan heard that the call was hung up, his mood was complicated as he tapped his finger on the desk for a long time. In the end, he decided not to get involved in this matter. At this moment, if he reacted greatly and attracted the attention of the masterminds from back then, it might throw Jiang Qinghan in a plight.

Hao Nan has never considered himself to be a good person, especially after he betrayed his buddy, Yan Sun. He had already given up the thought of being a good person. As for Jiang Qinghan, he couldn't let go of her since she was the only woman that he has fallen for.

Immediately, Jiang Qinghan bought a flight for Qiongjin in the afternoon. When she came out of the airport entrance, she saw a familiar face from afar.

Seeing Su Tao waving his hand in her direction, Jiang Qinghan squeezed a smile and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Lu Shimiao stayed in Qiongjin for two days before she went to get busy arranging for the very first charity auction by the Qihuang Charity Funds. The Qihuang Charity Funds has already been put on the right track, and there were tons of workloads every day. They've also started hiring employees one after another.

As for Su Tao, he stayed in Qiongjin Medical University to pursue knowledge. However, he would still return to Hanzhou City twice a week to sit in the Jianghuai Hospital and Three Flavour Hall.

Furthermore, Su Tao had also been planning for a Three Flavour Hall branch in Qiongjin City.

"The old man called me to pick you up." Su Tao examined Jiang Qinghan's complexion before he asked, "Your complexion doesn't seem alright. Did something happen?"

"It's nothing. I'm only tired." Jiang Qinghan brushed him off, shaking her head.

However, Su Tao could tell that something was troubling Jiang Qinghan. But since she wasn't willing to share, then he wasn't in a position to ask about it. At the same time, he made a note in his heart to find an opportunity to dig that secret out. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if she kept it pent up in her heart. From a physician's point of view, many illnesses originated from the heart.

Driving his Volkswagen CC, Su Tao drove Jiang Qinghan home in Hanzhou City. It was already roughly 8 p.m. when they arrived, but the lights were still turned on with Yan Sha waiting by the door. When she saw a familiar figure getting out of the vehicle, she immediately ran over and dove into Jiang Qinghan's embrace. "Mom, you're finally back! Did you bring any gifts for me?"

"I was too busy with work and forgot about them." Jiang Qinghan wore a bitter smile.

The gifts that Gu Yang gave her were all returned when she left the hotel through express delivery.

When Su Tao saw the disappointed expression on Yan Sha's face, he smiled. "Although your mother did not buy you any gifts, I bought one for you."

Fiddling through his pocket, Su Tao took out an exquisite box.

When Yan Sha opened it, she was instantly shocked as she asked, "A watch?"

Sweeping a glance at it, it's a ladies watch produced by Longines, and it costs at least ¥10,000.

Furrowing her brows, Jiang Qinghan said, "Isn't this too expensive? Yan Sha can't accept this!"

"It's enough for you not to bring any gifts for me, but you even deny me from accepting a gift from Senior Brother!" Yan Sha unhappily locked her brows together.

"It's too enstanged for us to talk about money!" Su Tao waved his hand and rolled up his sleeves. "You guys have not eaten right? Let me cook today!"

Holding onto the watch, Yan Sha happily played with it. Watches were usually a gift of confession, and her Senior Brother wouldn't be using this opportunity to confess to her, right?

But she soon dismissed the thought of it. Even if he's going to confess to her, he definitely wouldn't do it in front of her mother.

Entering the kitchen, Su Tao noticed that the vegetables were all washed as he first turned on the fume absorber and started cooking.

Without him noticing, Yan Wujin came in and he gently patted Su Tao's shoulder. "Your vigilance is too weak, and you're not behaving like a martial artist."

Stirring with the spatula, Su Tao smiled. "I lowered my guard on purpose."

"How stubborn!" Yan Wujin reprimanded.

As Su Tao pondered, he ultimately decided to tell Yan Wujin about his worries.

"Master might have some troubles that seem pretty serious. I suggest that you should talk to her."

Hearing those words, Yan Wujin was briefly stunned before he sighed, "I already noticed that something was amiss when she called me, and this is also the reason why I requested you to fetch her. I'll talk with her now."

When Yan Wujin came to the living room and saw Jiang Qinghan's gaze on Yan Sun's photo, a tinge of sourness rose up in his heart as he sighed, "Little Han, are you thinking of that brat again?"

Swiftly wiping her tears, Jiang Qinghan squeezed a smile, "Dad, I'm not thinking about him!"

Sitting on the couch, Yan Wujin pointed at the seat before him and said, "Yan Sun has been dead for so many years, and you've kept yourself single all this time. Truth be told, I was at fault for not finding you a good candidate."

"Dad, please don't say that. It has nothing to do with you." Jiang Qinghan immediately shook her head.

Letting out a sigh, Yan Wujin bitterly smiled. "Although Yan Sun died at a young age, I've always felt blessed that the heavens aren't mistreating me. In my heart, I have always considered you as my daughter, and at the same time, I'm extremely grateful to you. Without you, the Yan Family would've long dispersed. But I can't be selfish, and if you have someone you like, you should go with him; I will definitely not stop you from seeking your own happiness. Yan Sha has also grown up, and she can stay in the school dorm when she's in Senior High School. At that time, I will be free."

Jiang Qinghan knew that Yan Wujing was speaking to her from the bottom of his heart. She felt extremely complicated in her heart and she hesitated about whether she should tell him about Yan Sun.

"Dad, I will not leave this house even if you chased me away." Jiang Qinghan made a firm declaration.

Shaking his head, Yan Wujin replied, "It's only a pity that you've not found someone compatible with you. Otherwise, I would have chased you out a long time ago. Actually, that comrade of Yan Sun, Hao Nan seems pretty good, but it's a pity that he's already taken."

Seeing that Yan Wujin was still kept in the dark, Jiang Qinghan finally couldn't hold it back and said, "Dad, it's not because I'm thinking of Yan Sun that I'm in a bad mood, but… I've just received news that he's still alive!"

"What?" Yan Wujin widened his eyes in shock as he looked at Jiang Qinghan.

"I only got to know about it this morning, and I've still not recovered from the shock by the abrupt news." Jiang Qinghan helplessly shook her head with tears streaming down her cheeks. She was never a fragile woman, but Yan Sun was her only sore spot.

"You must have gotten it wrong. If he wasn't dead, why didn't he come to find us? Can it be that he has done something shameful?" Yan Wujin could feel the grievance in Jiang Qinghan as he slammed on the desk with his hand, causing a crack to appear on it. While it was a display of Yan Wujin's rage, it was also a display of his power.

Taking out a document from her bag, Jiang Qinghan handed it over to Yan Wujin.

Reading through the document, the facts spoke louder than words. There were tons of photos, evidence that Yan Sun was still alive and well in the world. However, Yan Sun was currently in another land.

"I'll go look for him. No matter where he is, I will drag him back if I have to and make him apologise to you!" Yan Wujin instantly went into a rage.

"Dad, let me look for him!" Jiang Qinghan wiped her tears as she squeezed out a smile and tried to comfort Yan Wujin, "He's currently overseas, and you're not versed in languages. You should stay at home to take care of Yan Sha, and about this matter, let's hide it from her for the time being."

Evidently, Yan Wujin was shocked when he learnt about it. He never expected that his son would still be alive. When he thought of all the pain Jiang Qinghan had to go through for all these years, he instantly felt ashamed.

As the two of them spoke, Su Tao finished cooking so he called them over. But when they sat down, Su Tao noticed that something was amiss since Jiang Qinghan wasn't the only one in low spirits, even Yan Wujin was affected.

After their meal, Su Tao went to look for Jiang Qinghan and asked out of concern, "Master, what's wrong with you and the old man? The two of you don't seem right."

"You're the one that told him to talk to me, right?" Jiang Qinghan sighed.

Nodding his head, Su Tao tried to alleviate the atmosphere and smiled, "Having something pent up in your heart is also a form of illness, so I wanted to treat it for you out of my professionalism."

"I'll not hide this matter from you. I just got to know that Yan Sha's father, who is also my husband, is still alive in the world." Jiang Qinghan weakly sighed.

Hearing the news, Su Tao instantly felt as if he was being hit by lightning. He couldn't accept this news.

If Yan Sun was still alive, wouldn't that mean that Jiang Qinghan's withered heart would revive?

So, what about him?

"T-this is a piece of good news!" Su Tao stuttered as he spoke against his heart, "The old man will have his son, Yan Sha will have a father, and you… will have a husband!"
