Chapter 356 - 355: Xingxing’s Suspicion

At this moment, it was close to evening, coupled with the typhoon weather, and there were no lights around.

The surroundings were quite dim.

And Zhang Qiumei was already thinking about how Xingxing and Yueyue had died.

Imagine, one second you’re thinking someone is dead, and the next second, that supposedly dead person emerges from the darkness and suddenly appears in front of you.

Can you not be scared?

In any case, Zhang Qiumei was frightened, screaming loudly and gasping for air.

Her scream directly scared the military wives around her.

It also made Xingxing and Yueyue frown.

"Brother, this auntie is so strange. Is she saying we’re ghosts?"

Xingxing’s gaze was scrutinizing as he looked at Zhang Qiumei in front of him, softly uttering "Hmm," while contemplating something.

"Mrs. Lin, what are you shouting about? How can you say these two kids are ghosts?"

"They do have shadows."

"Besides, ghosts are a thing of feudal superstition, something that cannot be spoken of."

"Yes, yes."

Not ghosts? Shadows?

Zhang Qiumei immediately looked over.

Although the light was dim at the moment, there was still some light in this place they were in.

This light also cast the shadows of Xingxing and Yueyue behind them.

At that moment, another figure emerged from the darkness, almost scaring Zhang Qiumei again.

The figure that emerged was none other than Amber, who had returned with Xingxing and Yueyue.

Amber slowly stepped forward, shielding Xingxing and Yueyue behind her, her cold gaze fixed on Zhang Qiumei.

Zhang Qiumei clutched her chest.

So, these siblings, are not ghosts.

But humans?

This situation was even more difficult for Zhang Qiumei to accept than thinking they were ghosts.

Because if they were ghosts, it would mean these two kids were dead.

But now, these two kids were not ghosts, indicating they were not dead!

Why, why are they not dead!

Zhang Qiumei desperately held back, stopping herself from rushing forward to crazily question Xingxing and Yueyue.

She couldn’t ask, because if she did, she would expose herself.

Moreover, she had to calm down now.

The word "ghost" she just uttered had already slightly exposed her, so she couldn’t say any more.

Zhang Qiumei didn’t bother to say anything else and just turned around and ran off.

"What’s with Zhang Qiumei, acting all weird."

The military wives had never had much respect for Zhang Qiumei, so when she left, that so-called Mrs. Lin called her by her first name.

"But aren’t these Doctor Gu’s two kids?"

"Yes, how did they come back from outside?"

At this moment, Hui Juan and Gou Dan also came out.

Calling Xingxing and Yueyue to come home.

Xingxing and Yueyue returned to the Zhao Family, and Hui Juan started getting busy preparing dinner at home.

However, since Xingxing returned, he had been sitting on a chair, resting his chin in his hands, seemingly lost in thought.

After a while, he seemed to finally make a decision.

Standing up, he greeted Hui Juan in the kitchen.

"Aunt Zhao, I want to call my mom."

"You want to make a call? Do you have to do it now?" Hui Juan looked at the sky outside; it was already dark.

However, being in the military zone, there was no need to worry too much about safety.

Seeing Xingxing nod, she said, "Okay, then let Brother Gou Dan accompany you."

"Okay."

So, with Gou Dan accompanying him, Xingxing quickly arrived at the communications office.

Once there, Xingxing overheard the soldier brother talking about how communication between Huan Sha Island and the outside world seemed to be interrupted.

But internally, it was still fine.

Xingxing breathed a sigh of relief, which was good.

That way he could call his mom and dad.

Upon learning Xingxing’s identity and that he was calling Doctor Yao Chungu at the county hospital, the soldier brother agreed.

Soon he helped dial the county hospital’s number, specifying that it was Doctor Gu’s son looking for Doctor Gu.

Over at the county hospital, Sheng Zexi and Gu Jia Ning heard a nurse say there was a call from the military area, saying their son was looking for them.

"Xingxing calling?" Gu Jia Ning frowned, calculating the time; Xingxing and Yueyue hadn’t been back at the military zone for long.

Why is he calling?

"I’ll answer it; maybe it’s urgent."

"Hmm, go ahead."

Soon, Sheng Zexi received the call.

"Dad, it’s Xingxing. Yueyue and I are back at the military zone, but..." Xingxing didn’t hesitate and recounted the incident with Zhang Qiumei, where she called them ghosts.

Sheng Zexi immediately understood once Xingxing explained.

His expression darkened.

However, he didn’t say much, instead asking Xingxing to continue explaining.

"...Dad, the incident with Yueyue and me today couldn’t possibly be known by others in the military zone."

"She shouldn’t have known either."

"But from the way she acted, it seemed like she thought Yueyue and I would be in trouble, or even... dead, and we would turn into ghosts."

"That’s why when she saw Yueyue and me, she was so scared and surprised."

"Who would know that Yueyue and I could possibly die?"

"Since it’s not what she heard, it must be someone who wanted Yueyue and me gone!"

In the end, Xingxing made his judgment.

When he said the final sentence, his little face was full of seriousness.

After speaking, he seemed to return to being a child, somewhat nervous and hesitant, and asked, "Dad, is my analysis correct?"

"Yes, Xingxing, your analysis is correct."

"Xingxing, you’re amazing, able to deduce things from small clues, you’re impressive."

Xingxing didn’t expect to receive praise from his dad.

This praise made Xingxing’s little face blush slightly, feeling a bit shy.

"Alright, Dad is aware of this matter."

"Okay."

After giving a few more reminders, Sheng Zexi hung up the phone.

Returning to the ward, he discussed the matter with Gu Jia Ning.

After listening, Gu Jia Ning’s face didn’t look good.

Emotions fluctuated intensely, "For Zhang Qiumei to say such things, she must be involved."

"What’s going on with this Zhang Qiumei."

"We’ve never provoked her, yet she wants to harm Xingxing and Yueyue!"

"Despicable, truly despicable!"

"Ningning, you need to stay calm and take care of your health." Sheng Zexi saw Ningning was so angry and quickly went over to comfort her.

Sheng Zexi was naturally furious as well, after all, today Xingxing and Yueyue had faced a life-and-death crisis, and Xingxing and Yueyue were their flesh and blood.

Sheng Zexi was also trying hard to control his emotions.

"Ningning, I’ll report this to the leader and have them investigate Zhang Qiumei’s direction, don’t worry, if she did it, she won’t get away."

"Okay, Brother Xi, those who hurt Xingxing and Yueyue must not be let off."

Gu Jia Ning was never a saint.

She also knew that being lenient with the enemy was being cruel to oneself.

Therefore, since they hurt her family and children, they must pay the price!
