As soon as noon arrived, Li Dequan and Song Qiankun hurriedly got on the car and left.

Although he didn't talk too deeply with his grandfather, Li Xiangnan felt greatly relieved knowing that his grandmother might have appeared in Lop Nur.

I have been searching for clues about grandma for more than a year, and now I finally have some news. Not to mention grandpa, I am afraid I won’t miss it either!

"Don't worry, your two grandfathers will always be there for you wherever you go. It's not their turn to personally handle dangerous situations!"

Yu Jingran walked over and pressed Li Xiangnan's shoulder, who was standing at the door, and said softly, "Your meal is ready, come in and eat!"

"Okay grandma!"

After taking a deep look at the direction where the Hongqi car left, Li Xiangnan turned around and went back into the house.

Several people had some chaotic thoughts in their minds. After discussing for a while, they couldn't figure out anything, so they had to give up and talked about the recent events at the Nanyi Equipment Center.

After chatting for a whole afternoon, Song Yi told Li Xiangnan in detail about everything that had happened in the past two weeks, and the conversation ended around two o'clock in the afternoon.

Considering that I originally wanted to go to the Ministry of Health to find Lin Jianzhou, but was delayed for a while by the matter of my grandfather's return, I simply asked Song Zimo to send him over.

In June in Yanjing City, the sun is already a bit scorching.

Li Xiangnan came out of the Ministry of Health's grand building, feeling a mixed bag of emotions.

After a disappointing visit, Minister Lin went to attend a meeting "above". The word "above" sounded mysterious.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the sky, planned his time, and decided to go to the Lin family.

Just as I walked down the stairs, I heard a series of clear voices behind me, as clear as silver bells:

"Li Xiangnan! Li Xiangnan! Is that you?"

Li Xiangnan turned around and almost dazzled himself.

Lin Chuqiao was standing there, wearing a light green Dacron shirt with small floral patterns, pushing a polished Phoenix 28 bicycle. Her face was rosy, her eyes were bright like black grapes, and she was looking at him in surprise and joy.

"Chu Qiao?" Li Xiangnan was also quite surprised by the coincidence. "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to find my dad!" Lin Chuqiao jumped up to him in two steps, and the bicycle bell rang when she bumped into it.

"I was just looking for you!"

"I was just looking for you!"

Suddenly, a sentence was shouted out from both mouths in unison.

Li Xiangnan was stunned.

Lin Chuqiao was also stunned.

Then two smiles bloomed on their faces.

Lin Chuqiao lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.

Li Xiangnan smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.

"You...you're out of jail? When did that happen? I went to the hospital to look for you several times, but every time you said you weren't there! It made me anxious...uh, so worried!"

She spoke quickly, a little breathlessly, and two deeper red clouds appeared on her cheeks. Her eyes were glued to Li Xiangnan's face, looking him up and down, as if she was afraid that he was missing a piece of flesh.

The joy could not be hidden, like a small flower bud that had been suppressed for a long time and finally saw the sunlight and suddenly bloomed.

Li Xiangnan felt warmed by her straightforward concern, but also a little embarrassed. He scratched the back of his head and said, "I just came back yesterday and have been busy..."

As he spoke, he pointed behind him and said, "As soon as I had time, I came to see your dad. I heard from the hospital that he came to see me several times, and I was worried that something might have happened..."

"I knew it! You can't stay idle!" Lin Chuqiao rolled her eyes at him in reproach, but there was no blame in her eyes, only a bright smile.

Li Xiangnan looked at his watch, then looked at her, and saw that her eyes were glued to his face. She was filled with the joy of seeing him for the first time, and the happiness of meeting him again after a long separation. Thinking of Shen Yujing, he felt a little complicated.

"Come on, come on! It's hard to talk here, the sun's scorching! I know a good place. Let's go sit by the shore of Shichahai. It's cool there, and there are benches under the shade of the trees!"

Before he could say anything, Lin Chuqiao urged him to sit down with her.

Li Xiangnan was thinking about how to tell her and also wanted to find a quiet place to sort out his thoughts. Seeing that she was so excited, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

I have to talk about Shen Yujing, and I also have to inform her about the sanitary napkin factory on Plot 12. Now is the perfect time.

The two of them pushed their bicycles and strolled along the shade of the trees.

Lin Chuqiao seemed like a different person. Once she opened her mouth, she started chattering, from Li Xiangnan leaving the hospital to go to prison, from work to the movie she had recently watched, and what she and Pang Weinong had done, as if she wanted to fill in the gaps in their relationship during this period.

Li Xiangnan listened, occasionally responding. Looking at her spirited profile, the depression in his heart caused by the case also dissipated a little.

When we arrived at Shichahai, it was indeed cool.

Willow trees swayed on the bank, their hanging branches almost reaching the water.

There are fields of lotus leaves in the lake, and the pink and white lotus flowers have just begun to poke out their pointed tips.

Lin Chuqiao found a bench in a secluded place and smiled as she asked Li Xiangnan to sit down. "Just wait, I'll be back soon!"

She trotted off for a while, and when she came back, she pulled out two bottles of iced Beibingyang soda from her bag like magic. She pried open one with a screwdriver and handed it to Li Xiangnan: "Here! Cool down the summer heat!"

Li Xiangnan took it, and the cold sparkling water went down his throat. He felt a chill all over his body and felt comfortable!

He leaned back in his chair, looking at the shimmering water, thinking about how to start.

Lin Chuqiao also sipped the soda and glanced at Li Xiangnan.

He seemed a little thinner than before he left, but the heroic spirit and calmness between his eyebrows were stronger.

Her heart was beating like a little rabbit in her chest. She wanted to look at him more, but she was a little shy. Her fingers unconsciously picked at the water droplets on the soda bottle.

"Is Wei Nong okay?" Li Xiangnan asked with a smile without finding a topic to start. He didn't see Wei Nong coming with Chu Qiao.

"Wei Nong has been learning about the production line from Yu Qiu these days! He said that once the machine is put into use, it would be better for us to understand these mechanized things ourselves!" Lin Chuqiao held the soda and looked at the lake.

Li Xiangnan was a little surprised, but also a little impressed, "Weinong has become much more mature now!"

"Yes, time really does teach people a lot!" Lin Chuqiao smiled and turned to look at him again, "Xiangnan, so, between us, there's no need to worry about anything. Just say whatever you want to say!"

"Chu Qiao," Li Xiangnan finally spoke, his voice lowered, "I went to the prison this time for a case."

"Case?" Lin Chuqiao sat up straight immediately, her big eyes filled with concern and curiosity. "Is it serious? Is it particularly dangerous?"

"Yes." Li Xiangnan nodded, his eyes becoming serious. "It's...Shen Yujing's case."

"Shen Yujing?" Lin Chuqiao was stunned for a moment, then reacted and the relaxed smile on her face froze instantly. "Hasn't his case been transferred to the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Procuratorate? Why would you go to prison again?"

There was disbelief in her voice.

Li Xiangnan shook his head and looked her straight in the eye. "It's not about that corruption case. Chu Qiao, I told you, you must stay calm. Shen Yujing... he was poisoned and nearly died in prison!"

"Poison... poison to death?!" The soda bottle in Lin Chuqiao's hand fell to the ground with a "clang", and orange-yellow liquid flowed out, soaking the ground.

She suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes widened, her pupils contracted violently due to extreme shock, her face turned pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"What's the matter?"
