Chapter 37: A Blank Shot
The rescue operation in the valley ended, and everyone went their separate ways.
Liu Anchen led experts from the Red Cross Society of the port hospital to Li Zhentian's lair again to identify corpses and extract DNA from the ruins of the valley.
Shen Qiuhan transferred a large number of personnel and rescue ships from the Singapore Yibao Branch to carry out a carpet search in the deadly river of the Golden Triangle.
Da Bing and Tao Zi each led a team to expand 10 kilometers inland along the river to carry out a jungle search. In case Li Yiyan landed, he would probably hide deep in the dense forest.
Even if everyone knows, for a girl who has been injured, the possibility is slim to none.
Yao Ju and Zhang Shan teamed up to use helicopters and drones to launch an aerial search.
The hard work paid off, and when night fell, the search and rescue ship finally had news.
10 kilometers downstream of the river, an injured man was found and has been sent to the port hospital for rescue.
As long as it's alive, it's good news.
Shen Qiuhan and Liu Anchen rushed to the port hospital by helicopter. Others continue to search and rescue as planned.
When they arrived at the hospital, the two moved uneasily at the door of the emergency room. In the middle of the night, Xiao Nan was pushed out of the operating room, his injuries were too serious and the anesthetic had not subsided, and he was still in a coma.
In the early hours of the next morning, the man in the hospital bed finally woke up. His eyes were slightly raised, and he looked weakly at Shen Qiuhan who was close in front of him.
When he saw Liu Anchen waiting by the bedside, there was a trace of excitement in his eyes, more self-blame and resentment.
Liu Anchen already knew that Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei had defected to save people, patted the back of his hand gently, gave him a smile of appreciation and gratitude, and softly comforted, "Xiao Nan, don't blame yourself." Thank you for always protecting Yiyan. ”
Shen Qiuhan waited in front of the bed all night, hoping that after Xiao Nan woke up, he would get the news of the little girl as soon as possible.
Jun Yan approached and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Nan, after the helicopter was shot down, how are your brothers Xiao Bei and Yiyan?" ”
Xiao Nan's eyes instantly overflowed with tears, and he closed sadly, tears slid down his cheeks, and they got into the gauze one by one.
Liu Anchen signaled Shen Qiuhan not to worry, leaned closer, and said softly, "Xiao Nan, can you speak now?"
Xiao Nan opened his eyes, opened his mouth, and uttered a vague word, "Yes." ”
Liu Anchen breathed a sigh of relief, smiled slightly, and continued to ask, "Do you remember the situation at the time of the crash? If we can provide some clues, we can find Xiao Bei and Yiyan faster." ”
Xiao Nan's emotions suddenly became excited, the corners of his eyes were even more slippery, his lips trembled, and he said intermittently, "My brother...... He fell into the water and was surrounded by several crocodiles...... The people are gone. ”
Liu Anchen and Shen Qiuhan were shocked, and in the legendary Xiao Bei of the Golden Triangle, they were seriously injured and eaten by crocodiles.
His cold eyes turned from side to side worriedly, and he muttered, "That...... What about Yiyan, how is she, is she okay?"
Xiao Nan squeezed out a smile and nodded slightly, his weak voice was relieved, "My arm was scratched by shrapnel, and I have several external injuries on my body. She...... She couldn't swim, there were crocodiles in the water, so I pushed her onto a piece of wood and drifted downstream with the current. ”
This news is undoubtedly great news for Shen Qiuhan. At least it shows that the little girl didn't die on the spot.
With trembling hands, he reported the latest news of the three to Yao Ju. Xiao Bei and Xiao Nan were killed and injured, and Li Yiyan went down the river and should still be alive.
According to this situation, everyone was full of confidence and emotions, and adjusted the search plan in time.
Tao Zi withdrew from the dense forest and flew with Zhang Shan in a helicopter along the river, flying at a low altitude and chasing downstream.
According to the calculation of the speed of the water and the wind speed, if he keeps going downstream, Li Yiyan should be close to the port at this time.
Shen Qiuhan and Liu Anchen settled Xiao Nan, came to the port together, and stopped the entire river with a boat, not letting go of any objects floating upstream from the river.
However, as much hope comes as great as disappointment.
When Tao Zi and Zhang Shan searched from upstream and saw the speedboats and fishing boats lined up in the port, they knew something bad was wrong.
looked at Shen Qiuhan's suspicious and incomprehensible gaze, and secretly took a cool breath.
Could it be that the little girl could fly? No matter how fast she drifted, she would not be able to cross the port.
When the morning sun shines on the rivers and land of the Golden Triangle, all the members of the rescue team gather at the port, which is a watershed and a key location for the search for the missing person.
Liu Anchen was very familiar with the river, and judging from the situation he had mastered, Li Yiyan had no longer gone down the raft, otherwise he would have arrived at the port.
Then there are only two cases: already on shore or by boat to the port downstream.
Shen Qiuhan's cold eyes were filled with disappointment, more hope. is as stubborn as him, and he vows not to give up until he reaches his goal.
The search and rescue did not stop, and everyone was divided into two groups, one group searched upstream of the port, and one group searched downstream of the port. The river surface is an auxiliary search area, focusing on houses and dwellings within 10 kilometers of the river.
However, three days passed without a single message. Everyone knows Shen Qiuhan's thoughts, as long as he doesn't see the body for a day, he will keep looking for it.
Seven days have passed, and there is still no news. The worry and sadness day and night made Shen Qiuhan's temples stained with hoarfrost, and at first glance, he seemed to be ten years old.
Everyone was frightened by his overnight white head, and Liu Anchen was panicked by this haggard appearance, and forcibly sent someone to tie him to the bed to rest.
Fifteen days have passed, and there is finally some news, although not good news.
Da Bing found one of Li Yiyan's shoes by the river downstream of the port. There is a noticeable bite on the upper.
Tao Zi deduced that there were no crocodiles downstream, and the shoes should have fallen from the upstream and washed down.
Shen Qiuhan held the shoe, and the crocodile's tooth marks were shocking, instantly making him unsteady on his feet, and he slid down the wall and sat on the ground.
All night, he sat against the wall, his cold eyes revealing endless despair, holding the shoe in his arms, like holding the little girl in his heart.
The pain of his heart like a knife attacked Shen Qiuhan overwhelmingly.
At dawn, the door to the room was pushed open.
The person who broke into his room without knocking on the door was a little girl?
Turning his head to look, the surprise in his cold eyes flashed, "Dad?"
At this time, Liu Anchen helped Li Huasheng, standing in front of the door with resentful eyes, with mixed feelings.
"Qiu Han, it's me. Li Huasheng walked away from the ghost gate, and when he saw his relatives, he couldn't hide his excitement.
Liu Anchen reminded softly, "Dad, you just came out of the ICU, and your body is weak, so you can't have too many emotional fluctuations." ”
Li Huasheng nodded, pulled out the arm that was supported by Liu Anchen, and said in a low voice, "Anchen, I'll say a few words to Qiu Han alone, you go out first." ”
That afternoon, Weng's son-in-law was frank with each other. told about the reluctance to Li Mu, and the joy of Li Zhentian's DNA test to confirm the death, of course, it was essential to mention the little girl. This is also the reason why Li Huasheng was transferred out of the ICU ahead of schedule.
Liu Anchen couldn't change Shen Qiuhan's stubbornness of 'seeing people in life and seeing corpses in death'.
I can't watch Li Yiyan disappear, and Shen Qiuhan is also finished. When Lee Watson was transferred from the ICU to the general ward in stable condition, he took the risk and took him from Queen Mary Hospital in Singapore to the port.
Li Huasheng looked at Shen Qiuhan, who had not seen the vicissitudes of life for many days, and pity arose. My daughter has experienced too many things over the years, and it is too complicated, and she has suffered a lot with her son-in-law.
Han Yan was slightly stunned, sighed, and said lightly, "Qiu Han, let everyone withdraw." The tone was calm, but there was a majesty in the words, and there was no hint of negotiation.
Shen Qiuhan moved his lips, stopped talking, and finally nodded obediently.
The next day, according to Li Huasheng's arrangement, Yao Ju returned to China with Zhang Binbin, Da Bing, Zhang Shan, Fan Jing and four police officers.
Anson Lau cares for Lee Wahson, Sim Kwan Nan, Bai Jinglian and Susan at Queen Mary Hospital in Singapore.
Shen Qiuhan, Tao Zi and Xiao Nan, who had basically recovered and were able to walk on the ground, returned to Li Zhentian's lair.
According to the comparison of DNA information, in this incident, Li Zhentian's subordinates deployed in the valley were all wiped out, and he himself was burned to death. Just like Li Mu said, the death was extremely miserable and unrecognizable.
Coming back here again, it's Xiao Nan's meaning. He wanted to find Li Zhentian's mobile phone, but as for why, he didn't explain it to Shen Qiuhan and Liu Anchen.
The three of them searched for a whole day, but the phone was still nowhere to be found, but they accidentally found the sheathed short knife and tiger-shaped jade ornament.
Li Zhentian was burned without a human form, let alone a palm-sized mobile phone. In fact, Xiao Nan also knew that the mobile phone should have burned in the explosion, and he would not give up if he didn't come in person.
Shen Qiuhan held the short knife, and his thoughts were unsettled. Thinking of the little girl holding a knife to confront the vicious dog, holding the knife to resist the bullying of Li Zhentian, and the stinging pain of the tip of the knife on her cheek and chest......
A month later, almost everyone in the hospital was healed, and it was time to leave.
In this rescue mission, Susan cut a piece of meat on her thigh alive without anesthetic, just to save the child in Li Yiyan's belly.
This incident touched Liu Anchen a lot, and re-examined her selfless dedication and unsung love for him for so many years.
This kind of unforgettable love is something that the little girl has never given him, maybe this is love. The relationship between him and the little girl has always been family affection and friendship.
Many years ago, Liu Anchen promised Li Huasheng that he would never be an expert again. But that indelible past is still vivid, and if you decide to love Susan, you have to confess everything to her.
After Susan knew Liu Anchen's past history, she smiled, "Anchen, let's go to the Amazon jungle to help, I am willing to work with you to slowly atone for my sins and grow old." ”
Liu Anchen and Susan looked at each other and smiled, maybe they would have a few children in a village in the Amazon jungle for the rest of their lives.
This decision, that is, reasonable, and beyond Shen Qiuhan's expectations, "Anchen, we don't know each other, it's good to have you as a brother." Take good care of Susan and wish you all happiness. ”
Liu Anchen also patted Shen Qiuhan's shoulder sadly, they are together, and they will always be three sentences inseparable from the little girl, "Qiuhan, after returning to China, live your own life, if Yiyan comes back one day, you won't like a bad old man." ”
Shen Qiuhan shook his head and laughed at himself, "Don't worry, Yiyan will definitely come back." The handsome and dashing and charming male god Shen Dashao will definitely come back. He will always be waiting for your baby. ”
Liu Anchen narrowed his eyes, punched him away, and quipped, "I'm relieved that you're so unserious." The name of the baby belongs to the original owner, and it will be yours in the future. ”
Liu Anchen and Susan left by plane on the same day, and the lovers eventually became married, which is enviable.
