Chapter 874: Chapter 874: Gunshots on a Rainy Night 5

He Zhilan nodded and bypassed the living room to go straight into her room. She remembered putting the gun back inside her clothes, carelessly left in the room.

Upon entering the room and seeing the messy state it was in, He Zhilan sighed and walked toward the corner, where her dress was still properly placed. She reached into the dress without any hope and felt around.

Unexpectedly, she actually found it!

"Xing Ye! The gun is still here!"

He Zhilan exclaimed in surprise and quickly called Xing Ye from the living room. She took the gun out from inside the dress and handed it to Xing Ye, saying, "I didn’t know this was given to me by Niu Rang, so I thought it was someone else’s prank to scare me. Before I left, I just put the gun back inside the dress, folded it, and put it in the corner. Unexpectedly, the gun was still there!"

Xing Ye was also somewhat surprised. He had lost hope, but the item was safe and sound.

After taking the gun, Xing Ye glanced at He Zhilan’s room and said, "Take a look and see if anything else is missing. Could it be just by chance, as soon as you moved in, you encountered an ordinary thief? Check if your valuable items are still there."

He Zhilan responded and quickly organized her belongings. However, since she had just moved in and wasn’t planning to stay long, she didn’t have many things to begin with. While tidying up, she not only found nothing missing but also noticed some out-of-place details.

"Xing Ye, I feel like it wasn’t an ordinary thief who came. Not only is nothing missing from my stuff, but also, look at the room. It’s a mess, but it seems deliberately made to look this way!" He Zhilan looked at Xing Ye, her eyes falling on the black handgun in his hand, and she suddenly realized, "I know what I’m missing!"

"What?" Xing Ye asked casually.

He Zhilan couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter, "It’s the toy replica handgun I bought for your son at the department store! It also happens to be black! When I was organizing my things, I casually put it on my bedside table! It’s very conspicuous, you can see it as soon as you enter the room! So, the person must have taken the toy gun and then deliberately created the appearance of a burglary to prevent me from becoming suspicious."

But while laughing, He Zhilan suddenly bit her lip, "I’m just glad I didn’t lose the item that Niu Rang sacrificed his life for. Otherwise, I would never have peace of mind for the rest of my life. Xing Ye, I’ll leave the gun with you. Take it back and keep it safe. At around seven, I’ll call my brother and tell him about Niu Rang. The rest, I’ll leave to you guys."

Xing Ye nodded, then had He Zhilan pack her things and leave with him, "I’m worried that if they realize they took the wrong item, they might come back. You can’t stay here anymore."

He Zhilan spent the night leaving with Xing Ye. His original intention was to have her stay directly at the Xing Family’s place, but He Zhilan was concerned that she was like a ticking time bomb herself, and since there were children at the Xing Family’s home, she refused and changed to another hotel instead.

At the hotel, He Zhilan took a bath, changed clothes, and then rushed to the hospital. In the morning, when she called He Teng, it was one of He Teng’s comrades who answered the phone, telling He Zhilan that the military had already known about Niu Rang’s sacrifice since last night, and He Teng was on his way to S Province.

He Zhilan thought that Niu Rang couldn’t have come to S Province alone, so there must have been arrangements in S Province to meet Niu Rang. Therefore, the military was able to know about the incident with Niu Rang as soon as it happened.
