"I just had a dream. When I woke up, I saw that you hadn't come back yet. I was a little worried and couldn't fall asleep."

Ruan Yu slowly sat down on the chair, and did not forget to explain to Xie Beichen in a gentle voice why she had not gone to bed yet.

"I heard that Du Qingshan ran away?"

This news could not be hidden at all, and it had spread to several nearby brigades before nightfall. When Ruan Yu heard the news, she did not feel relieved as if Du Qingshan's fox tail had been exposed, but instead felt more nervous.

Du Qingshan is not easy to deal with.

He had hidden well before, which was actually like a wolf in shackles. Although he was cruel, he still had some scruples in certain actions.

But now, his skin has been peeled off, and it is hard to imagine what he will do next without any scruples.

As if sensing Ruan Yu's worry, Xie Beichen gently patted her on the back and whispered, "Well, the police in the county have already started to deploy surveillance.

We must unite all forces from the surrounding brigades, counties and cities to capture and bring him to justice."

"So, how is the rest of the evidence in the case being collected?"

Ruan Yu's attention shifted to the summary of evidence.

Without solid evidence, even if Du Qingshan was caught, there would be no way to completely prove his guilt.

“We found a lot of key evidence.”

It was not convenient to reveal too many details of some cases to Ruan Yu at the moment, so Xie Beichen could only give her a vague approximate result.

"He can't get away with it this time!"

"I heard that he ran away suddenly, so he must have taken nothing with him.

So even if you run, you probably won’t be able to run too far.”

Ruan Yu picked up the palm-leaf fan on the table and fanned herself gently while trying to make a guess.

In this age where you need letters of introduction and supporting documents to go anywhere and do anything, if you don’t have these things, it would be difficult to do anything.

"Yeah, I thought so too. Wenxuan also noticed this. That's why he quickly arranged all the forces that could be mobilized around Hongqi County to jointly blockade and control the area.

If things go fast, the images of Du Qingshan should be distributed to every village, town, brigade and commune tomorrow.

With the help of these photos and materials, he would have to put in at least some effort to escape."

Xie Beichen nodded in response to Ruan Yu's analysis, and briefly explained the remaining arrangements to Ruan Yu.

"By the way, are you hungry?"

Ruan Yu talked to Xie Beichen for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something and asked the man sitting next to her: "Is there a little chicken soup left from dinner? Can I make you a bowl of noodles?"

"Don't bother. I'll go wash up and eat a couple of snacks."

Xie Beichen looked down at the time on his watch. It was already late, so he decided to stop bothering.

"Let's have some noodles. I'm a little hungry."

When Ruan Yu said this, her stomach growled twice, causing a flash of embarrassment on her face. Fortunately, the light was not good at the moment, so Xie Beichen beside her didn't notice it.

"Okay. But don't move. Wait here for me. I'll go wash up and then go downstairs."

Xie Beichen felt that it didn't matter what happened to him, the most important thing was that Ayu couldn't go hungry.

Moreover, as Ruan Yu's pregnancy progressed, neither Xie Beichen nor Ouyang Mingnuo allowed her to enter the kitchen anymore.

She was not even allowed to help light the fire.

Because Ruan Yu's movements had become quite inconvenient as the baby in her belly was growing. If she went to a relatively dangerous place like the kitchen, it would be a bit worrying.

"I'll get you some clothes." Ruan Yu is not someone who can sit idle.

I couldn't enter the kitchen, but it wasn't difficult to slowly walk to the room and help Xie Beichen get some clothes to change.

Xie Beichen did not refuse Ruan Yu's request. He just told her to be careful and went to wash up.

"Ayu, next time if I come back late, you don't have to wait for me."

Seeing Ruan Yu busying around him, Xie Beichen was always a little worried. He helped her sit on a chair at the kitchen door, then went in to boil water and prepare noodles while instructing Ruan Yu.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on.

Actually, I wasn't waiting for you on purpose today. Firstly, I woke up from a dream and couldn't fall asleep, and secondly, I was really hungry.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me lately, I feel hungry very easily.

I actually ate a lot at night, but now in the middle of the night, I still feel hungry.”

Ruan Yu frowned slightly and muttered to Xie Beichen somewhat embarrassedly.

"Then I'll bring you some snacks you like when I come back tomorrow. That way you can fill your stomach whenever you're hungry."

After hearing Ruan Yu's grumbling, Xie Beichen just smiled sympathetically and coaxed her: "I remember you liked the peach cake last time."

"By the way, the Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few days away.

Mom told me during the day, should I call Dad every few days to say hello? "

Ruan Yu did not refuse Xie Beichen's suggestion to buy some snacks. She thought about it and immediately remembered what she had just discussed with Ouyang Mingnuo during the day about the arrangements for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Among them, there is one about my father-in-law.

In previous years, no matter whether the children were with them or not, at least the mother-in-law was always with him.

But this year is special.

My mother-in-law has been in Kaoshantun for several months, and my father-in-law is alone in Beijing. Although he didn't say much, the increasingly frequent phone calls and letters still reveal the problem.

My father-in-law must be missing my mother-in-law.

"Next year when I start working, I'll go to the office and call Dad."

Xie Beichen did not object to Ruan Yu's proposal. In fact, according to his previous arrangements, he would definitely call his father to say hello in the next few days.

At least it is necessary to report that you are safe.

Actually, he didn't say it.

Since his mother came here, his father has called her almost every two or three days on average. Even after he found out that his mother had a cold some time ago, he called her as frequently as once a day!

Judging from the complaints my dad made on the other end of the phone, even when the war was going on, he had never been separated from his mother for such a long time!

But ever since his mother came to Kaoshantun, she has been reluctant to leave.

Especially after knowing that Ayu was pregnant, he had no intention of going back.

At first, she said she would take care of Ayu for the first three months and then go back after her pregnancy reactions were over. Later, she found out that Ayu was pregnant with twins, and she was even more afraid to leave!

And having already stayed for such a long time, Ouyang Mingnuo was now even more fearless, and he directly said that he would wait until Ayu gave birth to the baby before going back!

He doesn't care. He has no objection to how long his biological mother lives with him, but it seems that his father can't stand it anymore.
