It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

Before the incident was fully clarified, Chen Baoguo, Yunxuan's husband, was placed in isolation and detained.

After the meeting, Political Commissar He was also reprimanded. He said that if he had checked the appearance carefully during the review, this would not have happened.

Yunxuan and Chen Baoguo were both imprisoned, and their two children were taken to their home by Political Commissar He.

This was his responsibility, and he felt guilty and wanted to make amends.

This guilt is naturally directed at Chen Baoguo. If he had been more careful in his investigation, he wouldn't have been allowed to marry a fake wife, which has now led to Chen being investigated.

Even though he was unaware of the final results of this investigation, it still significantly hindered his military career.

……

Yun Li moved into the house where Yun Jiaoyue used to live. Except for pretending to go out to eat, she basically stayed in her room and didn't go out.

She would sit by the window every day, looking outside, and would sit there all day long.

After the Lantern Festival, Yunli welcomed three guests.

They are Mu Qian, Sun Tianxiang, and Lin Shu.

When Yun Li saw them, his attitude was much better than the last time they met; at least he had a slight smile on his face.

After inviting the three to sit down, Yun Li took five cents and bought a pot of freshly boiled water from her downstairs neighbor, and made tea for them.

Sun Tianxiang smelled the aroma of the tea, picked it up and took a small sip. She immediately felt her mouth filled with fragrance, and after swallowing it, she felt an indescribable sense of comfort.

Seeing Sun Tianxiang's bright eyes, Mu Qian also picked up his glass and took a sip, his expression changing.

This is no ordinary tea; it contains substances that are beneficial to mental strength.

Afterwards, despite it still being very hot, he drank it all up, mouthful after mouthful.

Without making a sound, he put down his teacup and looked at Lin Shu. "It's cold, so tea tastes better when it's hot."

Lin Shu is very strong in martial arts, but he doesn't like to use his brain and listens to his two partners in everything.

He immediately picked up the teacup and gulped it down.

Sun Tianxiang also sipped her tea slowly.

Yun Li filled the thermos for the three of them.

"Thank you for the household registration matter!" she said, looking at Mu Qian.

Mu Qian sat up straight, his hands on his knees. "You are Yun Jiaoyue's daughter. It's not cheating. I'm just telling the truth. You don't deserve my thanks."

He said that, but Yun Li didn't really mean that they didn't need to thank him. Seeing that he liked tea, she planned to give them some when they left.

"Yun Li, we've received information that you should be ten years old this year, but your behavior doesn't seem to match..."

Before Sun Tianxiang could finish speaking, she saw Mu Qian frown and immediately stopped.

She knew it was rude to say that, but she was just so curious.

Yun Li didn't mind what she said and replied calmly, "Yes, the body is ten years old, but the soul is already old."

Hearing her words, Sun Tianxiang felt a deep sadness, and her eyes were filled with pity.

Yun Li disliked that gaze and looked at it coldly, "I am not pitiful, and I do not need your pity."

Sun Tianxiang felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water, and her face turned visibly red.

Unfortunately, Lin Shu, that simpleton, stabbed him in the back, saying, "The strong need no pity."

Sun Tianxiang glared at Lin Shu, then apologized to Yun Li, "I'm sorry!"

Yun Li accepted her apology and turned around to take out a fruit platter from the cabinet.

Sun Tianxiang, being a girl, was particularly pleased with the plate of red, green, and yellow fruits and exclaimed, "My goodness! You actually have so many out-of-season fruits!"

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of watermelon and started eating it.

Next up was Lin Shu, who was holding a cantaloupe.

Mu Qian didn't move, just staring blankly at the fruit platter. He remembered Zhang Chong talking about the special soil, and these fruits must have been grown in that special soil.

This should include tea as well.

"What brings you here today?"

Yun Li sat in the chair with her legs dangling in the air and her arms resting on the armrests, her gaze sweeping over the three of them indifferently.

"There is indeed something wrong." Mu Qian nodded. "Last time I noticed something unusual about your mental energy. I think I might be able to help you resolve this issue."

Yun Li stared at him for a while and then said, "I know, but you probably can't help me."

How will you know if you don't try?

Yun Li pointed upwards, "You can defy the Heavenly Dao?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Tianxiang and Lin Shu, who were eating fruit, seemed to have been struck by acupuncture.

Mu Qian's expression changed, his face filled with disbelief.

Although they are people with superpowers, they are quite receptive to magical things and people.

But the concept of Heaven's will is something I've only heard of in legends and myths; I never really thought it would actually exist.

After a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Why is the Way of Heaven...?"

Yun Li rested her chin on her hand and looked out the window at the sky. She didn't answer immediately, and the atmosphere became quiet for a moment.

A few minutes later, Yun Li turned to look at Mu Qian and said, "Because I am an evil spirit."

"A thousand-year-old evil spirit consumed by hatred."

Sun Tianxiang couldn't help but gasp.

Lin Shu stared at Yun Li in disbelief.

Mu Qian was also shocked, but only for a moment, and quickly regained his composure.

That would explain her seemingly supernatural abilities.

"I originally intended to help you eliminate the abnormality in your mental energy, and then ask you to help heal Lin Shu, but it seems that's no longer possible."

Lin Shu looked at his boss with gratitude, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"Is it congenital intellectual disability, or acquired?"

Yun Li's sudden outburst excited Lin Shu. "The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow! My sister was kidnapped by human traffickers when she was six years old. When we found her, she had an injury on her head, and she's been mentally impaired ever since."

"Bring them here!"

These four words brought tears to Lin Shu's eyes. He was so excited that he didn't know what to do, probably because he felt that a simple thank you was not enough to express his gratitude.

He actually knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Sun Tianxiang grimaced, looking like she was in a lot of pain.

Yun Li accepted the three beatings without hesitation. "I should be able to bring your sister over in a few days."

While Lin Shu was still calculating the travel days in his mind, Mu Qian answered for him, "We can arrive tomorrow."

Lin Shu suddenly looked at his boss with a sheepish grin, "Thanks, boss."

Mu Qian stood up. "There's no time to lose, Lin Shu. Call home and have someone take your sister to the designated location. I'll arrange for someone to pick her up."

"Yes, yes, okay!"

Yun Li walked to the small cabinet again and took out three tea leaves wrapped in paper.

"This is for you."

They had already drunk the tea and knew it was good, so even though they felt embarrassed, they didn't refuse.

I just thought that if she ever needed help in the future, I would lend a hand.

g Province x City

"Still haven't found Secretary Min?"

Governor Zheng sat in his office, with a bodyguard standing opposite him.

The guard replied expressionlessly, "Yes, not a single clue."

"Where is Elder Nie?"

"He should be on the train back right now."

Governor Zheng waved his hand, "Put some pressure on the public security department and make sure they find Secretary Min."
