Before leaving the city and entering the mountains, Bao Liang expected a variety of results, and when his father released the group of doves of peace for Lei Lei, Bao Liang thought that this meeting between his ancestors and grandchildren had been a great success. He was filled with joy that his father, who had been lonely for a long time, and his grandson, who had just lost his parents, would be able to comfort and love each other and create a harmonious life together.

On the way back to the city from the armed police training base, neither Baoliang nor Lei Lei spoke again. Bao Liang didn't talk to Lei Lei about his grandfather anymore, nor did he set things right in response to the views instilled by Quan Hu. He found that Lei Lei's gaze no longer lingered on the landscape outside the window, he was contemplating his eyebrows, looking like an adult.

After entering the city, Bao Liang took Lei Lei to McDonald's for a burger, and in order to save him, he only bought the one Lei Lei ate. Lei Lei didn't ask Bao Liang why he didn't eat it, he took a big bite and sucked on the bucket of milkshakes. Bao Liang asked: Does Fushui have McDonald's? Lei Lei stopped and shook his head. Bao Liang said: You eat yours. Asked again: Is there KFC? Lei Lei stopped and shook his head again. Bao Liang said: Then you are eating it for the first time? Lei Lei swallowed the milkshake in his mouth hard, choked and said: My father has taken me to the provincial capital several times, and my father has taken me to eat.

Bao Liang was speechless.

After eating McDonald's, Bao Liang asked Lei Lei if he was tired and if he wanted to go home. Lei Lei probably had a full stomach, said that he was not tired, and said that he wanted to see the river. Bao Liang said that there is something to see about the river. Lei Lei said that there were boats on the river. Bao Liang said: Do you like boats? Lei Lei said yes, my dad used to take me on a boat. Bao Liang said that after that, my uncle will also take you to sit.

Coming out of McDonald's, they went to Tofu Pier. Dongfu Pier is a cargo terminal in the middle of Dongfu Street, very close to where they live, just behind the Dongfu Hotel. Here you can see the open water surface of the Jianhe River, and you can also see various ships shuttling back and forth.

This is a branch of the Jianhe River, from here by boat, sailing for two hours to join the main stream of the Jianhe River. Here you can see the empty yachts and fully loaded ferries, and once you enter the main stream of the Jianhe River, you can only see the barges like stragglers, carrying all kinds of goods competing for the stream. Most of the people carrying goods take the boat as their home, washing, cooking, excretion, and entertainment are all carried out on the boat, and when the Jianhe River is narrow, the river water is polluted to change color.

And the Jianhe River seen at Dongfu Wharf, the river water is still clear.

They watched the river and the boats at Dongfu Wharf, and they saw the waning sun and the sun all the time. Bao Liang carried Lei Lei home on his back, and when he got home, he let Lei Lei go to bed, and he went into the kitchen to wash vegetables and cook. After the meal, he gave Lei Lei a hot bath, and chatted with Lei Lei during the bath. He asked Lei Lei if the old man he saw today was okay. Lei Lei said that the old man's nose is like my mother. Bao Liang said that the old man likes you very much, and you forgot that he also released pigeons for you. Lei Lei said that why can pigeons recognize their homes? Bao Liang said: The pigeon is smart, and it is smart and brave to recognize the family. Bao Liang said again: If Lei Lei gets lost one day, can he still recognize his home? Lei Lei hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes."

On Sunday, Bao Liang didn't set the alarm clock in order to get a good night's sleep. When he woke up, Lei Lei had already gotten up and was lying in front of the window looking out. Baoliang asked Lei Lei to get dressed, went to the kitchen to warm up breakfast by himself, and then squeezed into the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth with Lei Lei. As he rinsed his mouth with water, Lei Lei said there was a knock on the door. Bao Liang didn't vomit, and listened quietly, only to hear the door slamming, and someone knocked on the door.

Bao Liang spit water, dried his mouth, put on his shirt, and opened the door to look. There was a man and a woman standing outside the door, the woman's face was raw, the man's face was familiar, Bao Liang thought for a few seconds before remembering that he was an old cadre of the Provincial Public Security Department.

The full name of the old cadres should be called the retired old cadres service office, and they will take care of their father's life after retirement, so Bao Liang's first reaction when he saw them was to greet them respectfully and let them into this cramped hut.

The hall is very narrow, unable to stand people, and the quilt on the bed in the bedroom is not folded, which is too messy to see. But Bao Liang could only blush and invite them into the bedroom. He kept calling the person in the old cadre uncle, so he urged Lei Lei to call grandpa. Lei Lei called grandpa. Bao Liang looked at the woman again, the woman was in her thirties, Bao Liang wanted to call him aunt for fear of her displeasure, wanted to call her eldest sister, and was afraid of messing up with the man, when he opened his mouth to hesitate, he couldn't scream for a while.

"It's such a big house?"

The uncle of the old cadre asked, but without waiting for an answer, he said, "We found your Dongfu Hotel, and the people in your unit told us that you live here." ”

Bao Liang nodded at the shabby embarrassment here: "Ah, this is the house I rented." ”

The uncle of the old cadre said, "We have a matter that we want to talk to you about." Do you think we should go out and find a place to talk, or should we let our comrade take the child downstairs to play for a while, and we will talk here? ”

Bao Liang thought for a while, and said to Lei Lei, who was standing at the door watching them: "Lei Lei, can you go downstairs with this aunt to play for a while, don't go far, uncle wants to talk to this grandfather about something." ”

The aunt coaxed Lei Lei affectionately: "Lei Lei, is it okay to go down and have fun with Auntie, it's cool outside today." ”

Lei Lei was obedient as always, and followed his aunt without saying a word. Bao Liang went to the kitchen to turn off the fire, and then faced the uncle who was already sitting in the chair in the bedroom, feeling a little nervous.

"We've met several times, my surname is Wang, haven't you forgotten?"

Bao Liang actually forgot, but shook his head to indicate that he hadn't. Uncle Wang's attitude was kind, but moderate, he pointed to the messy bed opposite the chair, and asked Bao Liang to sit down, his tone a little anti-guest.

"Sit down, sit down, don't be inhibited."

Bao Liang sat down on the edge of the bed, worried in his heart, and was silent, just waiting for Uncle Wang to speak. Uncle Wang coughed his throat, and that cough immediately made the atmosphere extremely serious.

"I came to you on the commission of your father to talk to you. Uh- that kid was your sister's son, right? How old is it? ”

Bao Liang replied: "It's more than six years old. ”

Uncle Wang nodded and said argumentatively, "Child, it's still quite cute." Then he paused and got back to the point: "After you took your child to meet your father yesterday, your father immediately went to Director Yuan of the provincial department and expressed his opinion. Of course, your father was a little excited yesterday, but this is understandable, and the leaders of our department also did the work of persuasion and pacification, and the leaders of the department instructed us to come to you and talk to you about the situation. ”

Bao Liang listened, but did not make a sound.

Uncle Wang paused for a moment and continued: "Your father said that the hatred between him and the Quan family is not a personal grudge, not for his own selfish interests, he was ordered to defeat the criminal group of power, to safeguard the interests of the country, to carry out organizational orders, and to fulfill his duties as a public security policeman. Now, the people of the Quan family have planted the seeds of hatred in the hearts of the third generation, and he feels very righteous indignation, and it is difficult for him to bear it in his heart. He asked for an organizational intervention in this matter, and he hoped that the organization would ensure that he would live out his old age in peace, not to be harassed in any way, and not to return to the shadow of history. It should be said that all of his demands are justified and reasonable. Your father is a heroic model of public security, and the organization should take special care of him, so that the hero's old age can be stable and happy. I think that you, as children, should also understand his feelings. ”

Bao Liang lowered his head, and Uncle Wang seemed to be waiting for his reaction, but Bao Liang did not make any reaction.

Uncle Wang had no choice but to continue: "For this kind of thing, it is actually difficult for the organization to intervene. The child is still so young and not sensible, so the organization can only send us to talk to you. You are an adult, and you performed very well in the case of the last arrest of Quan Sangun, in fact, you also avenged your Lu family and your father. Of course, this enmity of yours is not a personal vendetta. It is an honorable thing for you to get rid of Quan Sangun and assist the public security organs in arresting Quan Hu, which is to eliminate harm for the people, and your father is also very happy about it. It is normal for you to adopt this child of Quan Hu now, you are his uncle and his relative. The child is innocent, but considering your father's current state of mind, we suggest that you do not go to see your father again while you are still living with this child, unless there are special circumstances. Your father is old, and older people are a little stubborn, not to mention that he is mentally stimulated, and he is more sensitive to some things and easily excited. We analyzed that he may not accept the fact that you raised the son of his enemy, but he can't say it, so he has some resentment towards you in his heart. ”

Bao Liang raised his head and asked, "You mean to let me leave this child alone, right?" ”

Uncle Wang's face was gentle, and he shook his head and explained: "Children always have to be taken care of, if you don't care, you have to be sent to an orphanage to take care of them." As a relative of the child, you take the initiative to take responsibility for raising the child, and we certainly support it. We just want you to take care of your father's mental state as well, even if you miss your father very much, we recommend that you refrain from associating with him for the time being, which is also your father's request. He told us to tell you that as long as you have this child, you should not show filial piety to him again. ”

Bao Liang was bored for a long time and wanted to shed tears, but the tears reached the eye circles, and he endured it again. He didn't look up, he didn't want Uncle Wang to see his red eyes. He said, "I see." He took a deep breath to calm the choked throat in his heart a little, and then said, "They are all my relatives, but now that I know, I can only ask for one of them, and I will consider it." ”

Uncle Wang looked at Bao Liang worriedly, not knowing what Bao Liang's consideration meant, but he quickly deliberately made a look of relief and thanked Bao Liang for his uncertain attitude.

"Okay, that's fine. You're an adult, I'm sure you'll handle it. ”

Bao Liang raised his head, he no longer cared about the two lines of tears on his face, exposed to Uncle Wang's eyes, and he still had the ability to let his breath of speech maintain the calm he deserved.

"I just want to love my loved ones, I just want to have a normal home. I just hope that my father, my sister, and me and Lei Lei will be able to live together in the future...... Please take care of my father for me, Lei Lei is too young, I swore to my sister, I must raise Lei Lei to adulthood. ”

This was said very clearly, and Uncle Wang once again expressed his gratitude on behalf of the organization. But at this time, the smile he conveyed to Baoliang clearly expressed a personal touch and understanding.

Giving up his father for Lei Lei was a painful choice for Bao Liang, who had been longing, tempting, and fighting to return to his father from the day he was kicked out of the house by his father. He still remembers that on that night when the north wind was howling, he stood at the door of his yard with his luggage, and he could not see a little light in the courtyard and the house through the crack in the door, and his heart was as dark as the door. Now, he finally found his sister, and finally saw his father's smile, he finally approached the day of family reunion, he avenged his father with his own hands, and exchanged such achievements for his father's forgiveness, when everything was approaching the goal he expected, because of Lei Lei, everything was abruptly interrupted.

Two weeks after breaking off contact with his father, the case of Quan Hu and his sister was heard in court. Bao Liang specially asked for leave from the unit to observe the trial, and saw his sister from a distance in the courtroom. Quan Hu and his sister are both thin and out of shape, Quan Hu's face is still bloody, and his sister's face is gray.

The atmosphere of the courtroom and the appearance of his sister that day made Baoliang feel extremely depressed. As soon as the trial process entered the stage of court investigation and cross-examination, he left the table and rushed home, and he had to go home at noon to give Lei Lei a hot meal. But this day, when he came home and saw Lei Lei sitting on the bed, he suddenly felt a lot of pity in his heart, he didn't give Lei Lei any more hot leftovers from yesterday, but took Lei Lei to the nearby McDonald's restaurant, and watched him eat two burgers and drink a large glass of chocolate milkshake. After eating, Baoliang took Lei Lei to the supermarket next to the restaurant, wanting to buy a toy for Lei Lei. He picked a model of a steamship for a long time, bought it when he saw that the price was not expensive, and when he turned around to look for Lei Lei after paying the money, he found that Lei Lei was gone.

Bao Liang looked around and found no figure of Lei Lei. Ignoring the astonished gazes around him, he shouted Lei Lei's name loudly, and his forehead was suddenly covered with cold sweat like droplets. He approached the supermarket staff for help, and even used the supermarket's search radio. The radio called anxiously many times in a row: "Little friend Lei Lei, your uncle is looking for you, please tell the adults around you, and let them help you contact your uncle......" but it was useless, Lei Lei didn't know where to go, and there was no response.

Bao Liang suddenly remembered that Lei Lei had asked him more than once about the pigeon's home, would he not find Bao Liang to go home by himself? Ray is almost seven years old, and he may consciously want to be a bright and brave child, like a pigeon who knows his home. Besides, it's not that far from where they live.

Bao Liang used the speed of the sprint competition he used to participate in at school, and rushed all the way home, running up to the eighth floor without half a stop. Before he could open the door, his violent gasp was overwhelmed by disappointment and anxiety - Lei Lei was not there!

In front of the door of his house, there was not what he imagined - Lei Lei crouched on the ground against the door, waiting for him to return.

Although he knew that Lei Lei did not have the key to the door, he still opened the door by luck and went to the bedroom, kitchen and bathroom to inspect them one by one. Half a minute later he rushed downstairs at the same speed, shouting in front of and behind the building:

"Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! ”

In front of the building and behind the building, there are only three or five leisure old people, and three or five passers-by in a hurry, no children playing, far and near at a glance.

Bao Liang no longer hesitated, he went to the police station in the district to report that the child was lost. The police on duty made careful records, asked about the child's characteristics and the process of getting lost, and asked the child if he had any other relatives besides you, and whether he would go to them? Bao Liang said no, he only has one relative, and he has nowhere to go without me. The police asked if he had any friends, and would he go to play with his children? Bao Liang also shook his head resolutely: No, no, he just came to the provincial capital, and he doesn't have any acquaintances here except me! The policeman said: Okay, I see.

Bao Liang did not go to work that afternoon, even though he only took half a day off. He wanders around the supermarket where Lei Lei has gone missing, hoping to see Lei Lei miraculously. During this time, he returned to his residence several times, and climbed to the door of his house on the eighth floor several times, but the door was always empty. In the evening, he went to the police station again to inquire about the results, and the police at the police station told him not to worry, told him to go home and wait, and they would notify him when they found the child.

It was already dark when Bao Liang got home. He sat on the bed in the bedroom in a daze, and the room without thunder looked strangely deserted. Although Lei Lei usually doesn't laugh, Baoliang and Lei Lei talk to each other every night, asking and answering, after all, they are still alive, after all, they are like a family.

In the middle of the night, Bao Liang went to the kitchen to eat the leftovers from the previous day, and it was not even hot. He hadn't eaten for almost a day. While eating, he noticed that the corners of his mouth were blistering, and he was in pain when he opened and closed his mouth.

Bao Liang didn't sleep all night, and the next day at dawn he went out downstairs and rushed to the police station to ask for news. The people at the police station have not yet gone to work, and the police on duty last night were having breakfast and told Baoliang that he knew about it, and that the matter had been reported to the sub-bureau and the traffic police detachment had been notified, but so far, no results have come out. Bao Liang sat at the police station and didn't leave, no matter how the police on duty at night persuaded him to bomb him, he just didn't leave, he had to see the director. At about eight o'clock, the policemen came to work one after another, and Bao Liang did not block the director, but they stopped bombarding him, but called him to an office to inquire about the situation. After asking Bao Liang for a while, he found that they were not concerned about the child, but on Bao Liang himself. They asked Bao Liang about his financial income, his property, who he usually interacted with, whether he had any enemies in the past, and whether he had received suspicious phone calls after his children disappeared...... Bao Liang understood that the police had begun to suspect that Lei Lei's disappearance was a criminal case, and it was estimated that he was either abducted or premeditated. In places like supermarkets, the chances of being abducted by traffickers are extremely small......

Bao Liang wanted to cry without tears, he was about to go crazy.

At noon, Bao Liang went to the unit and told the unit leader about the situation. The leader was very concerned and sympathetic, expressed understanding of his feelings, and asked him to concentrate on looking for the child and not rush to work. You can rest assured that you will not be removed from the list again because of this matter. Toutou's concern did not make Bao Liang smile, his mind was confused, and he wanted to go to the detention center, and told his sister and Quan Hu about it through the police. After all, they are Lei Lei's parents, and they have the right to know the child's situation.

Of course, Bao Liang quickly dispelled this idea, the truth of the child's disappearance is unknown, and now it is frightening to talk about it. Maybe the child will be found in another hour, or maybe it will turn out to be a false alarm.

Bao Liang prayed to the heavens, hoping that it was just a false alarm.

On the second night of Lei Lei's disappearance, Bao Liang still couldn't sleep. Sometimes I open my eyes, but my heart is empty, sometimes I close my eyes, and my head is ringing again. Rising out of bed in the morning and looking in the bathroom in the mirror, his face was a clear sign that he was on the verge of collapse.

He decided to go to the Provincial Public Security Department and go to Uncle Wang from the old cadre.

He used to be a student policeman, and he knew the great authority of the Provincial Public Security Department within the public security, although Uncle Wang's position was unknown, he was a cadre of the Provincial Department after all, and he also looked like a leader.

Bao Liang sat in the communication room at the entrance of the provincial hall compound at eight o'clock in the morning, and waited until lunchtime to see Uncle Wang come out of it. Uncle Wang explained that he had been holding meetings in the morning, and he also took Bao Liang to the canteen of the provincial government and invited him to lunch. After eating, Uncle Wang took Baoliang to the office and called the provincial department and the city bureau several times in front of him to help him inquire about the situation. Bao Liang understands that this kind of inquiry itself is a favor and an urge, which is enough to make the relevant departments more dedicated.

Judging from the situation asked by Uncle Wang, the situation is still the same, and there is no new progress. Uncle Wang, in turn, persuaded Baoliang to believe in the organization and wait with peace of mind. I have heard a lot of this kind of consolation, and the pressure in my heart has not been reduced by half a point.

The sun, as it had been yesterday, hurried away to the west. It was getting darker than ever. After dark, Baoliang habitually went to the supermarket to look for it, and knew that it was useless to look for it, just like going back to his messy bedroom where he was too lazy to turn on the light, and sat in a daze.

It was the third night after Lei Lei's disappearance, and Bao Liang returned home very late. He was so weak that he could barely climb to the eighth floor. He entered the house and wanted to eat something in the kitchen, where there was nothing left except yesterday's dirty pots and bowls. On the bed in the bedroom, there were Lei Lei's toys and books for reading and writing, as well as a model of the ship. Bao Liang and Lei Lei lived together for more than a month, and he almost couldn't figure out what he liked from Lei Lei's mouth, the only thing he knew was that he liked boats, which may be related to Lei Lei's experience of often drifting on the Jian River by boat.

Hora Kazui lay on the bed, his hands stroking everything Lei Lei had ever used. He didn't know how he would explain to his sister if Lei Lei never came back. He passed out of his sleep at midnight, and when he woke up, it was still dark outside the window.

He was awakened by a knock on the door. He sat up, listened carefully, and quickly confirmed that the knock was not a dream.

At that moment, he really thought that Lei Lei was back, and rushed out of bed barefoot to open the door of the house. In the light outside the door stood a young woman, childless. The appearance of the young woman made Bao Liang once again wonder whether he was dreaming or waking up, whether he was suspicious or surprised.

At six o'clock in the morning, Bao Liang and Xia Xuan took a tourist train that opened at the end of summer, crowded into a car of tourists wearing the same hats, and went to the small station on the way that they had just left more than a month ago, Fushui.

Thankfully, Lei Lei didn't lose it.

Lei Lei's disappearance was neither abducted nor kidnapped, let alone lost and lost, but a planned escape planned by himself, and he had been planning it for a long time.

He had slipped away from behind him by taking advantage of the moment when Bao Liang had paid for the ship model. He left the supermarket and went straight to the Dongfu Cargo Terminal, where he had been watching the boats on the river with Bao Liang a few days earlier, and perhaps since then he has had the idea of escaping. If Bao Liang analyzed the three words that Lei Lei took the initiative to let him teach to write, he asked Bao Liang to take him to the dock to see the boat, which was itself a field survey of the escape route. The three words he took the initiative to let Bao Liang teach him were, uncle's uncle, the belt that leads, and the Fu of Fushui. In fact, he had already written down the line "Uncle, take me to Fushui" on the paper in his notebook and hid it on his body. On the day of his escape, he showed the paper to the shipwrights who were loading the goods, at the Dongfu Wharf, not far from the supermarket. Lei Lei is honest and cute, and is easy to accept. The boatman asked him what he was doing in Fushui, and he said to go home. When I asked him where his parents were, he said that his parents were in the water, and he secretly left home to play by himself, and now that he had enough fun, he was homesick, and his uncle begged you to take me home.

The boatmen believed it and didn't doubt Lei Lei's self-description - a child who ran away from home with fun, a child who must have made his parents anxious, take him away, did he go to Fushui? So, Lei Lei successfully boarded a barge that was about to pass through the water. While the supermarket's tracing horn was still broadcasting the missing person notice over and over again, the small cargo ship that Lei Lei was on had already pulled anchor and set sail away from the busy and noisy Dongfu Port.

Lei Lei always thought that his parents threw him away, because Quan Hu had a fight with Lei Lei before he was arrested, so Lei Lei felt that his father must have been angry and didn't want him ruthlessly.

The barge traveled for two nights and one day, with two stops on the way to unload the cargo, and arrived at Fushui Wharf in the afternoon of the third day. The ship was passing through Fushui, and there was no plan to stop the ship in Fushui, so it landed a thunderbolt on the shore, did not even throw the anchor, and drove away with a whistle.

Lei Lei was found on the street near his house that night by a police officer who had seen him. Inspector Jin: It was the third watch in the middle of the night when they received a call from the Ox team. Xia Xuan and Bao Liang set off early in the morning and rushed to the Fushui Public Security Bureau in the afternoon of the same day, and in a police office, they saw a dirty monkey-like thunder.

Lei Lei's first reaction when he saw Bao Liang was fear, he didn't know what method Bao Liang would use to punish him. Bao Liang took Lei Lei in his arms, he said Lei Lei, you scared your uncle to death, your uncle won't hide it from you, uncle will tell you about your parents, do you want to listen?

That night, the cattle team of the Fushui Public Security Bureau arranged for Bao Liang, Lei Lei and Xia Xuan to live in a nearby guest house, and after dinner, Bao Liang told Lei Lei alone about the whereabouts of his parents at this time. But to put it more succinctly. He only said that his parents were arrested for breaking the law and may have to live in prison in the future, so Lei Lei will live with his uncle in the future, and his uncle will take care of Lei Lei instead of his parents. Lei Lei seems to understand everything, what is a crime, what is a prison...... It was clear from his sad crying that he understood everything. That's the end of Bao Liang's story. Regarding the story of his grandfather and grandfather, and about what laws his parents had committed, Bao Liang didn't say a word more.

The next morning, the Niu team came over and had breakfast with Baoliang Xia Xuan and Lei Lei, and after the meal, they drove them to Lei Lei's house. The house was rented by Quan Hu, the lease has not expired, and now the door of the house is affixed with the seal of the Public Security Bureau. Captain Niu and another policeman who Bao Liang didn't know lifted the seal and opened the door. The Niu team asked Bao Liang to go into the house to find the things that Lei Lei was wearing, and Bao Liang found a few coats in the closet that Lei Lei was going to wear in the autumn, and he asked the Niu team: My sister is still in the detention center, can I find a few clothes for her to send her? The Bulls said of course they could. Bao Liang picked a few more for his sister. The Niu team said again: Do you want to give Quan Hu a few pieces? Bao Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "Ah."

So he went to the closet and took two men's clothes and trousers. It's the same as the one I got for my sister, and it's mostly underwear that can be worn in autumn and winter.

While rummaging through the closet, Bao Liang kept an eye out for something else. Finally, in a drawer under the closet, he found the lacquered locket. In this locket, he found the white gold and diamond earrings as he wished.

He showed the earring to the Ox team, and he said, "Ox team, this earring was given to my sister by my mother, can I take it?" The Bulls took the earrings and looked at them, and asked, "This thing is very valuable, isn't it?" Another policeman said: How to deal with the property of Quan Hu and his wife will have to wait for the court's judgment to be decided. You should first take something that needs to be worn urgently, such as jewelry, which is more valuable, and don't take it away for the time being.

Bao Liang took off the earrings from his ears, and he said, look, these earrings were worn by my mother when I got married to my father, and then my mother gave one to my sister and one to me, so that wherever we went, we could think of home when we saw it. You let me take this away, and I'm going to give it to my sister.

The bull team nodded and said, "I think, let him take it away, what his parents have passed down is a memory." The Niu team said this to another policeman, and the policeman had to say: Okay, I'll register when I go back. Bao Liang was slow to say thank you, but the smile on his face expressed his sincere gratitude.

Bao Liang found a canvas bag in the house and packed all the clothes he had taken in the bag. The earrings were hidden in the close-fitting shirt, and he could feel the weight of the white gold and silver diamonds, making the beating in his chest even stronger.
