The fellow villager who had seen the drone recalled what happened two days ago.

"Actually, I saw this thing once yesterday afternoon around five or six. I was working in the fields when I heard this whirring sound. It was very loud. But it disappeared in a flash. I blinked my eyes and it flew so far away. It didn't take as long as it did the day before yesterday."

Yesterday afternoon around five or six!

Wasn't that when Bu Yufan brought her and the child out of the hotel in the county town, picked up Gu Zuoshan and went to the highway to have a buffet?

"The first time I saw this thing was the day before yesterday at midnight. That night we played poker until around two in the morning." The fellow villager recalled carefully.

"I was strolling on my way home when I heard the whooshing sound. It was flying as high as a three-story building and that big." The fellow said as he gestured. He spread his arms and Wen Lan was shocked again.

From a height of three floors, the fellow saw a flying machine with a diameter of more than one meter. What on earth was it going to do?

"It had red and green lights on that time. After I saw it, the colored lights went out and there was only a very bright white light. I thought I had encountered a UFO!"

That must be the altitude-fixing light on the drone, which Bu Yufan told her yesterday. It is also the "little star" that Nuannuan mentioned.

"Then what? It flew away?" Wen Lan's fear was infinitely magnified.

This was a premeditated murder! It was a scout! Wasn't it the midnight of the day before yesterday, a few hours after Bu Yufan's plane landed when he returned from Southeast Asia?

"It didn't fly away. It flew in the direction of Litoukeng, which is where we are now. Its light was extremely bright, and it just hung in the sky without affecting anything. It was already past 3 a.m. when I went to bed, and it was still there. It was hanging in the sky over where we are."

The fellow villager also found it more and more bizarre. He discussed with his fellow villagers whether to report this matter to the police.

Several onlookers gradually gathered around them, and everyone expressed suspicion and sympathy.

Wen Lan sorted out the causes and consequences. The more she thought about it, the more creepy she felt. It seemed as if all the pores on her body opened up and the back of her head went numb.

This was premeditated! This was definitely premeditated!

In other words, the murderer already knew the news of Bu Yufan's return to China, and even the time when his plane landed the day before yesterday!

Yesterday at noon, when Bu Yufan and Wen Nuan had just arrived at the county town, they were tracked by a drone. The mastermind behind the scenes specially found a second drone to track them. And it came to Litoukeng again to check the spot again!

However, if the murderer's target was Bu Yufan, how could Zhou Yajun appear here at the same time?

This is impossible! Something else must have happened!

A layer of sweat appeared on her body, goose bumps appeared on her back, and her hands were cold.

"Girl, take care of yourself." Someone comforted her and handed her some tissues.

Wen Lan forced herself to stay alert, nodded, and said thank you. She held Wen Nuan's hand tightly, and she didn't know how long she could hold on.

The climb up from the valley floor must have been difficult.

More than 40 minutes have passed since Zhou Yajun was found, and the stretcher carrying Zhou Yajun has still not appeared in people's sight.

Zhou Yajun, her head was hit and her shin bone was broken alive!

Chu An said that the scene was very cruel, so cruel that he couldn't even speak.

Thinking of this, Wen Lan's heart ached as if it was bleeding.

Bu Yufan's mother had just survived a car accident, with multiple fractures all over her body, and had been in a coma for so long that she had just recovered. Why should such a kind old woman be subjected to such suffering again?

Today, they will recognize each other as mother and son!

Today was supposed to be such a happy and beautiful day!

Why? Why did this happen?

Why! Why! Why! She screamed in her heart again and again, her heart breaking again and again!

and many more!

She suddenly remembered the half-sentence that Bu Yufan had said when he hugged her to sleep last night.

At that time, she buried her tears in his chest and once again spoke self-blaming words to him.

He said, "Wen Lan, let me tell you, my mother's car accident was caused by someone..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the phone rang, interrupting him.

Car accident? Car accident!

Was the car accident also premeditated?

So break up? Break up!

Bu Yufan didn't blame Zhou Yajun for the car accident? He broke up with her in order to protect her?

So, what about those cruel words he said? He broke off relations with her and asked her not to mention "your family" and "your daughter" anymore.

On the other hand, he was very cautious and tried every possible way to get close to them and take care of them!

"Bu Yufan! You fool! You are the dumbest fool in the world! Why did you chase me away? Why did you leave us? Why are you like that again, preferring to hide away and cry alone!"

She stood there, thinking of Bu Yufan and everything that man had done for her. Her senses, her flesh and blood, seemed to have disappeared.

In her sight, those still trees and those running people were all colorless. Her hearing gradually disappeared. If he died, she even felt that half of her could disappear from this world along with him.

"Mom, look, it's the firefighter uncle." Wen Nuan gently shook her arm, calling back the wandering and lost her.

From afar, she saw the person fixed on the stretcher.

She gathered the child behind her. "Nuannuan, remember what your mother said, don't go to see grandma yet, okay."

"Family members! Family members! Let me briefly tell you the situation. The injured must go to the hospital immediately for emergency treatment!"

Firefighters, police, medical staff, and rescue teams were all crowded around, running around, all with serious expressions on their faces.

The moment Wen Lan saw Zhou Yajun, she wanted to shout "Mom" from the bottom of her throat!

But she couldn't pronounce the whole word, or even the whole syllable.

She couldn't recognize the person lying on the stretcher. She couldn't even tell where the familiar, kind and loving face she liked was.

All she saw was a swollen, deformed, black and purple face that was beyond recognition.

She wanted to say something, but that syllable, that cry, choked, deformed, rolled, and became hoarse in her throat.

"Family members! Family members!" She seemed to hear the doctor calling her and someone pinching her face.

"Mom! What's wrong with you? Mom!" She seemed to feel warmth rushing onto her.

"Xiao Lan!" She seemed to hear her parents' voices, as well as Secretary Nan's, and Gu Zuoshan's voice.
