Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 254 - 253 Bai Bo’s Report

Chapter 254: Chapter 253 Bai Bo’s Report

The moon had yet to rise, and the forest was engulfed in darkness, only the beam of the flashlight spread out, illuminating a corner of the world.

The warm yellow light paused momentarily on a figure, then began to jump irregularly, even more cheerfully than the fireflies in summer.

"Brother Yuncheng!"

"Slow down, slow down."

Su Yuncheng hurriedly quickened his pace to meet her, fearing that Lin Nianhe might trip if she ran a few more steps.

She had walked this path too many times, almost always at night.

It’s no exaggeration to say she could walk it with her eyes closed without falling, though she might bump into a tree.

The two were not far apart, and ten seconds later, Lin Nianhe’s left foot slipped, but instead of falling to the left, she crashed straight into Su Yuncheng’s arms.

Fortunately, Su Yuncheng was prepared and caught her steadily.

Meeting with a hug... this could be considered a hug, right? Regardless, Comrade Su’s ears turned thoroughly red.

Lin Nianhe, with a smile, wrapped her arms around his waist and looked up to ask him, "Are you going to find Brother Feng and the others? I’ll take you there."

Su Yuncheng brushed the hair from her forehead and looked into her eyes, saying, "I came to get you."

He was informed by Wang Shumei at the Educated Youth Corps that Lin Nianhe had gone up the mountain.

Without asking further, he guessed—they must have hidden those people in the mountains.

To prevent any leaks, it could only be Lin Nianhe who went back and forth to deliver food.

Seeing that it was almost dark, how could Su Yuncheng be at peace? He hadn’t even drunk water before going up the mountain to find her.

Lin Nianhe giggled and asked him, "Was Bai Bo caught?"

"Yes, temporarily taken to the police station," Su Yuncheng rubbed her head, "After the interrogation, I’ll take him back to the provincial city, a week at most, and I’ll be back."

"Good." Lin Nianhe smiled with her eyes curving into crescents.

"You’ve lost weight," Su Yuncheng observed her, frowning.

Lin Nianhe pursed her lips, "I wasn’t thin before, but climbing the mountain three times a day recently, it’s hard not to lose weight."

Su Yuncheng felt distressed, inwardly cursing Feng Wei and Zhou Xu, then squatted in front of Lin Nianhe: "Come on, I’ll carry you."

"Ah? Is that okay? The path downhill is not easy."

Lin Nianhe verbally resisted, but her body honestly leaned forward, resting on Su Yuncheng’s back.

Worried she might be afraid, Su Yuncheng comforted her, "It’s okay, similar to carrying a load in a cross-country race."

Lin Nianhe: "..."

Good comfort, better not to comfort next time.

She hooked her arms around Su Yuncheng’s neck, using the flashlight to light the path beneath his feet.

Su Yuncheng walked steadily, neither too fast nor too slow.

Listening to the insect sounds, Lin Nianhe began to feel sleepy.

She perked up and asked, "This incident with Bai Bo won’t involve his wife, will it?"

"No," Su Yuncheng paused, still not telling her what his real mission was.

Discipline is paramount; what can’t be said, must not be said.

Lin Nianhe subtly hinted, "Wu Genmao and Cao Shijian also made meritorious deeds. Wu Genmao got his arm broken and is still lying in the clinic."

Su Yuncheng replied with a "Hmm," "I heard from Zhou Xu, those two are just low-level thugs, and they showed merit, so they won’t be implicated this time."

"That’s good," Lin Nianhe breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to relax.

Su Yuncheng carried her down the mountain, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, he stopped and let her down.

"Huh?" Lin Nianhe was a bit confused, "Tired?"

"No," Su Yuncheng earnestly explained, "It’s still early, let’s not be seen by others."

Lin Nianhe had not thought about this, and stuck out her tongue obediently when she heard it, continuing to walk on her own.

Su Yuncheng still had many things to do; after sending Lin Nianhe back to the Educated Youth Corps, he headed up the mountain again.

Lin Nianhe took a bath, washed away her fatigue, and then wrapped herself up in her blanket.

The matter with Bai Bo had ended somewhat abruptly; she herself felt it was sudden, and hadn’t been sleeping well these past two days.

It wasn’t until Su Yuncheng appeared before her, telling her that Bai Bo had been locked up, that she finally relaxed and got a good night’s sleep.

Not only she slept well, but Bai Bo also slept particularly soundly tonight.

Even in the police station, his snoring was so loud that it made the doors shake.

"He can actually sleep?" The comrade working the night shift was annoyed by the noise and couldn’t understand why Bai Bo could still sleep.

Shouldn’t he be anxious and restless like the guy next door? This reaction is not normal!

Liu Jianjun, holding an enamel mug, was sipping hot water, and upon hearing this, he said, "He knows he’s definitely going to be shot, so why wouldn’t he be able to sleep peacefully?"

The young public security officer didn’t understand, staring blankly at Liu Jianjun, "Huh? What do you mean?"

Knowing that he was going to die yet he could sleep peacefully? Is this man sick?

Liu Jianjun dragged a stool over to sit next to him, continuing to sip his water intermittently and responded, "When outside, always afraid of this and that... although having no shortage of food and drink... heck, actually no day is peaceful in his heart... sigh..."

Liu Jianjun got scalded a bit, which seemed to energize him a bit more.

"Why bother with these dealings then?"

Liu Jianjun hissed, mumbling unclearly back, "Tired of living."

Bai Bo had slept particularly soundly that night, just as Liu Jianjun said, knowing he was about to die, his hanging heart was finally put to rest.

He was just worried about Zheng Lirong.

The money at home was enough for their mother and children to live on, but if something unexpected happened...

He had a dream; in the dream, he kept advising Zheng Lirong to remarry.

Zheng Lirong gave him two big slaps.

Bai Bo didn’t know if he was woken up by his wife hitting him, or by the Public Security slamming the table.

He suddenly sat up, stunned for a while before he remembered that he was already in the bars.

He scratched his head, looked at the young police officer in front of him, and hoarsely said: "Give me a cigarette."

The young officer glanced at him, with a smirk saying, "Why not I also get you two steamed buns with four side dishes?"

Bai Bo leaned against the wall, spat, and asked again, "Where is Su Yuncheng?"

The young officer ignored him, flipped open his work notes preparing to record.

"You son of a—"

Bai Bo had just begun cursing when Su Yuncheng walked in.

The curse immediately stopped.

Su Yuncheng sat down next to his colleague, nodded to him, then looked toward Bai Bo, speaking indifferently, "You can start confessing now."

Bai Bo raised his head, his eyelids drooping as he looked at him, "What should I confess? What’s in it for me? Are you going to let me go or what?"

Su Yuncheng: "Letting you go is impossible, but I can make your death quicker."

"Hah."

Bai Bo eyed him, a smug smile appearing on his face.

"Alright, that’s fine, I’ll confess, I’ll be truthful."

"I accuse! Lin Nianhe and Su AU are in close contact! Her stuff all comes from the north, entering through the sea route from Bohai Bay!"

Bai Bo sneered looking at Su Yuncheng, craving a cigarette, his fingers habitually fiddling.

He coughed twice, continuing, "I also know, she came through a connection in Beijing, it’s inseparable from her father!"
