The next day, something big happened in the military district. The commissars only daughter-in-law had suddenly gone missing.

In the afternoon, Chen Jings body was found in the distant outskirts. Her neck had been bitten and her blood sucked dry. The entire military district was shaken. Coupled with several other cases of people also inexplicably sucked dry, the atmosphere in the military district was very solemn.

When Chi Shuyan went out before, there would still be many children playing outside, but now, they were probably all at home.

She was curious about Chen Jings corpse. She had been quite close to Shen Rongyin recently, so she made a trip to the Shen residence.

As soon as she arrived at the Shen residence, there was the sound of women and children crying.

Chi Shuyan entered the open door of the Shen residence. Shen Rongyin spotted her, and she strode over with red and swollen eyes, sounding tearful as she asked, Yan Yan, why are you here?

Mother Shen immediately looked over at Shen Rongyins words. When she saw that it was Chi Shuyan, she immediately looked away and wept as she coaxed a child.

Mother Shen was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law of hers. She had given the family a son and a daughter. Ah Jing had clearly been fine last night, and had gone to look for Rongyin. Why was she suddenly dead? And she died so tragically!

Chi Shuyan observed Shen Rongyin and said worriedly, Aunt Shen, I heard that something happened to your family. I was a bit worried about you. Are you okay?

Shen Rongyin shook her head, but her eyes reddened again. She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and invited Chi Shuyan in.

Everyone in the Shen family was crying, so it wasnt appropriate for Chi Shuyan to just sit there. She looked around, but didnt see Chen Jings coffin. She turned to comfort Mother Shen and Shen Rongyin, and then saw a weeping Mother Shen unsuccessfully trying to coax a child.

The older son was in his teens, and roughly around Chi Shuyans age, while the other child was only five or six years old.

This was the younger daughter, who was already old enough to be aware of things. Seeing her brother cry especially miserably, she howled especially loudly and kept shouting, I want Mom.

Mother Shen didnt feel good. She might not like Chi Lingyan and his daughter, but she couldnt entertain Chi Shuyan even if she wanted to, busy as she was trying to coax the child. Furthermore, her daughter had gotten quite close to Chi Lingyans daughter recently.

Mother Shen had no choice but to take her granddaughter upstairs to try and coax her. She was also worried about her only grandson, and took him with her. She also told Shen Rongyin not to cry and spoil her eyes before she went upstairs.

Chi Shuyan sighed when it was just her and Shen Rongyin left in the living room.

Seeing that the handkerchief in Shen Rongyins hand was soaked, Chi Shuyan took out a few pieces of tissue and gave them to her. Aunt Shen, dont cry. What if you cry until you spoil your eyes?

Shen Rongyin shook her head. I was just thinking about my sister-in-law. At the word sister-in-law, Shen Rongyin choked up again. My sister-in-law treated me especially well. When I got married and had to come home after those things happened, she never said anything and always consoled me. How can such a good person not be spared? How did my sister-in-law suddenly die?

As Shen Rongyin spoke, she sniffled and started crying again. Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes as she stared at Shen Rongyins face, which was covered in tears. If these devastated tears were fake, her acting skills were definitely worthy of an Oscar.

Not long after, Chi Shuyans father and a few unfamiliar soldiers in camo uniform came downstairs. Commissar Shens face was very unsightly and tired. The man next to him, who looked a bit like Commissar Shen, also had a dark face and bloodshot eyes.

Chi Lingyan was about to say something, but he vaguely heard his daughters voice.. He subconsciously looked over and saw that his daughter was sitting in the Shen residence and comforting Shen Rongyin. He was stunned and called out, Yan Yan!
