Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

After bidding farewell to everyone, Yu Ru went alone to the ward next door where Yun Jixing was located, dismissing the nanny and housekeeper from the room. She slowly walked to Yun Jixing's bedside, sat down, reached out and gently stroked his face, softly calling his name, "Yun Jixing, Yun Jixing."

Yun Jixing didn't react; he was asleep, fast asleep.

"Yun Jixing." Yu Ru called him again, but he still didn't respond. She reached out and gently patted his face twice, calling out again, "Yun Jixing, wake up."

Cloudstar still didn't react.

Yu Ru sighed and murmured, "It must hurt too much, right? There's nothing I can do. Yun Jixing, I'm leaving. Take care."

After saying that, she stood up, bent down, and kissed Yun Jixing on the forehead before leaving and heading towards Xi Yizai's ward. Xi Yizai's ward was right next to Yun Jixing's; it was just a few steps away. When she arrived at the door, she gently knocked.

Inside the ward, only Jun Wuxia and two caregivers were looking after Xi Yizai. The two caregivers stood by the bedside watching Xi Yizai, doing nothing, while Jun Wuxia sat to the side operating the computer. Hearing a knock at the door, Jun Wuxia immediately got up to open it.

"Xiaoru?" Upon seeing that it was Yuru, Jun Wuxia smiled. "Come in quickly."

"it is good."

The two entered the ward, and Jun Wuxia pulled Yu Ru to the seat she had just been sitting in, inviting her to sit down. Yu Ru smiled and shook her head, saying, "Sister Jun, I won't sit. I have something to do and need to leave in a bit. I came here now to tell you about some of the aftermath that happened after you left that day."

"Oh, okay... Xiaoru, go ahead and tell me, I'm listening." Jun Wuxia nodded, secretly scrutinizing Yuru's face.

“I’ve taken care of all those people.” Yu Ru took out her phone from her pocket, unlocked it, opened the photo album, and handed the phone to Jun Wuxia. “Take a look, not a single one was left.”

Jun Wuxia took the phone, and when she saw the photo on it, her hand trembled, and she almost dropped the phone. In the photo, more than a dozen people were lying neatly on the ground, each one covered in blood, many missing limbs, a sea of ​​crimson that was utterly horrifying.

Seeing that Jun Wuxia seemed a little unwell, Yu Ru put away her phone. "Sister Jun, the relevant personnel have been mostly dealt with, so you don't need to worry about retaliation. Just focus on taking care of Mr. Xi."

Jun Wuxia looked at Yu Ru with a complicated expression and asked anxiously, "Xiao Ru, are you leaving? Where are you going? Are the relevant departments going to take you away for investigation?"

Yu Ru nodded, "Sister Junjun, please keep this a secret. I've already told everyone that if Yun Jixing wakes up and asks me where I am, I'll say I'm handling some official business and won't be back for a while. If he asks you where I am, that's your answer."

"Okay." Jun Wuxia stepped forward and gently hugged Yu Ru. "Xiao Ru, which department wants to take you away? Can you tell me? I'll use my connections to get you out of trouble."

Yu Ru patted her back gently with one hand. "Thank you, Sister Jun Jun. There's no need to rescue me or ask about me, lest we cause more trouble. Just wait for good news."

the other side,

Yun Zhonghe and Situ Ningzhai blocked Yun Wenzhi's way, preventing him from leaving. Yun Zhonghe said, "Wenzhi, can Xiaoru come back? Why won't you let us use our connections to rescue her? Just give us a break, don't make your mother and me worry so much."

“Yes.” Situ Ningzhai held Yun Wenzhi’s hand, his face filled with sorrow. “Wenzhi, not a single member of our family can be missing. They all must be safe and sound. Your father and I are getting old. We don’t have any ambitions. We just want our family to be together. That would give us peace of mind. Yesterday, I couldn’t sleep because I was thinking about Xiaoru possibly being executed. Such a good child, and suddenly she’s going to be gone. My heart aches so much. Please tell us something. Is there any way Xiaoru can save her life? Please tell us.”

Yun Wenzhi looked at the two elders, hesitated, and ultimately said nothing.

Seeing this, Situ Ningzhai reached out and grabbed Chi Jingliu's hand again, "Jingliu, tell me. Otherwise, can you really bear to see your elderly father and mother fall ill from worry?"

“Mom…” Chi Jingliu said helplessly. “Yu Ru’s identity is rather sensitive, so it’s really not appropriate for us to say anything.”

"It's happening again." Situ Ningzhai turned away in disappointment and slowly walked back to where she had just been sitting. The other descendants immediately went to help her up.

Situ Ningzhai shook off the hands that were supporting her and returned to her seat, leaning back with her head tilted slightly, looking somewhat uncomfortable. Yun Zhonghe followed closely behind and sat down next to her, mimicking her posture.

Everyone crowded around to check on their condition.

Yun Zhonghe raised his hand to stop them, "Children, don't come over, stand to the side, there are too many people, you can't breathe."

Upon hearing this, everyone took a step back.

Yun Zhonghe rubbed his temples and said, "Sigh, how could this happen?" He shook his head and then looked up at Yun Bianzhi and his wife. "My beloved grandson was beaten half to death for no reason, and my son and daughter-in-law turned half their hair white overnight."

At this point, he looked at Yun Wenzhi and his wife, "My granddaughter-in-law, who is not yet married into the family, is being taken away for saving someone. My eldest son is the one who arrested her. It's really... really..."

Yun Zhonghe suddenly slammed his hand on the table and sighed repeatedly, "What a disaster! How could this have happened?"

As he spoke, Yun Zhonghe wiped away his tears.

He had never shed tears in front of his children and grandchildren before; this was the first time. For a moment, everyone was at a loss.

Yun Wenzhi was afraid that the old man might do something rash due to his emotions. He quickly knelt down in front of him, took his hand, and comforted him, "Dad, don't be like this. Everything will be alright. Can you and Mom think positively?"

"What am I supposed to think? Huh? What am I supposed to think? You two didn't say a word, you just wanted to take Xiaoru away without a sound. What am I supposed to think?" Yun Zhonghe cupped Yun Wenzhi's face in his trembling hands. "Look, my son, you have more white hair than your old father. Originally, I was just worried that something might happen to you two while you were out all the time, but now, both families are making us worry."

“Dad…” Yun Bianzhi also knelt down in front of Yun Zhonghe.

He knelt down, and everyone else followed suit. The believer led the way, saying, "Grandpa, Grandma, please take care of yourselves! Uncle and Aunt are both well, and my parents are alive and well in front of you. Xiao Yuan is out of danger, and there's still room for maneuver regarding Xiao Ru. Things aren't really that bad, so please don't worry so much."

“I believe you, how can I not be worried? We are now facing an unknown of death. The unknown always gives us a lot to imagine, which easily breeds fear,” Situ Ningzhai said.

Yun Wenzhi turned and glanced at everyone, then looked at the two elders in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he stood up and faced the others, asking the believer to lead everyone out, leaving only Sang Zhuxian, Yun Bianzhi, the two elders, and Chi Jingliu.

Seeing this, Situ Ningzhai and Yun Zhonghe immediately realized that he was about to reveal some information, so they immediately stopped crying.

Sure enough, after everyone else left, Yun Wenzhi said, "Mom and Dad, Bianzhi, Zhuxian, I'll give you a little information, but on the condition that none of you tell anyone and that you keep the secret completely."

“Of course, brother, we know what we should and shouldn’t say,” Yun Bianzhi said earnestly.

"Speak quickly," Situ Ningzhai urged.
