Chapter 904: Chapter 904 Lan Song Dies 5

He hesitated for a moment, and Xing Ye looked over at He Teng, who continued the conversation, "Before Niu Rang’s incident, our troops had received a call from a woman claiming to be Niu Rang’s fiancée looking for him. Half a day later, Niu Rang was found shot in the chest in an alley and thus sacrificed his life. We checked with Niu Rang’s fiancée, and the call wasn’t made by her, so that call could only have been to confirm Niu Rang’s undercover identity."

"Based on the understanding of our troop, Gu En is definitely the prime suspect with the capability," Xing Ye’s eyes went cold as he spoke, "So, Lan Li, we also have a reason to suspect that you are one of the informants, therefore, until this matter is settled, you’re listed as one of the key suspects for close surveillance and investigation."

The situation took a harsh turn; not only Gu En was listed as a suspect, but Lan Li was also under major investigation.

Hearing this, Lan Song’s parents laughed openly in front of everyone, cursing Lan Li with words like ’retribution!’ and ’serves you right!’

Xing Ye quickly suspended Lan Li’s powers in S Province, including all the personnel Lan Li had brought from the capital, who were listed as subjects to be screened. Their first task was to investigate whether the shot taken by Lan Li’s team was indeed, as the young soldier had claimed, an excessive measure in the urgency to secure the hostage’s safety, or if it was out of self-interest resulting in Lan Song’s death.

Following Lan Song’s parents’ statements, the police summoned Brother Pin again, and sure enough, during this interrogation, Brother Pin directly identified a woman who was with Lan Song as the shooter. The police produced several photographs of women for Brother Pin to identify the shooter, and he immediately picked out Gu En’s photo from the bunch.

When He Zhilan heard this news and learned that Xing Ye was preparing to take Gu En into custody, she felt an inexplicable worry, as if she had overlooked some important detail.

Two days later, He Zhilan finally got over her fever. He Teng personally drove to pick her up from the hospital. For safety reasons, Xing Ye had also rearranged their accommodation, and He Teng had moved their belongings to the new residence in advance.

"Brother, I can walk on my own! I’ve injured my foot, not become disabled!" Seeing He Teng holding her stuff and bending down to pick her up, He Zhilan’s face turned red with embarrassment.

These past few days, as long as He Teng was around, let alone letting her stand on the ground, even going to the toilet involved him carrying her into the bathroom, then finding a female nurse to support her inside, fearing she would strain her foot wound and cause an infection.

"Better to rest a few more days," said the reserved Deputy Regimental Commander, no longer concerned about the perceptions of others.

In the past, not even a public display of carrying He Zhilan in his arms would have been on the cards, let alone holding hands with her at the train station in their hometown, which had required some resistance to achieve.

He Zhilan was not short, but she was slender, so she looked delicate and petite, wrapped thickly in He Teng’s arms—a picture of a little child.

Many onlookers were watching her and He Teng, so she buried her face in his chest and closed her eyes, pretending not to see!

"Alright, you can sleep now, we’ll be home soon." Wrapping the person in his arms firmly, He Teng was no longer worried about He Zhilan catching a cold. He let her lie down on the back seat and then contentedly took his place behind the wheel.
