However, Mu Qian didn't say much. She tilted her head slightly and leaned into Huo Jinxi's arms, as if she was waiting for something.
Huo Jinxi stretched out his hand to hold her, and after a moment of silence, he reached out and took his cell phone.
Mu Qian's eyes turned and she couldn't help but said: "Who are you calling?"
"Rong Heng." Huo Jinxi said.
It's not his style to sit here and wait. Since she wants an answer, he will give her an answer.
Mu Qian looked at the clock on the bedside. It was only half past six. She wanted to know the answer quickly, but she was also afraid of disturbing Lu Yuan, so she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to give Huo Jinxi a hand.
But as soon as she stretched out her hand, the phone in Huo Jinxi's hand vibrated first.
The two of them looked at the phone screen at the same time and saw Rong Heng's caller ID.
Mu Qian paused and let go of his hand, while Huo Jinxi quickly answered the phone.
"Second brother, is Mu Qian up?" Rong Heng opened his mouth and asked.
Huo Jinxi and Mu Qian looked at each other and just said, "Come here."
After two simple sentences, the phone was hung up, and more than a minute later, the doorbell of the room rang.
Huo Jinxi stepped forward to open the door, and sure enough, he saw Lu Yuan and Rong Heng standing at the door.
Lu Yuan's eyes were red and his face was pale, but he was still trying to keep his expression calm.
Huo Jinxi glanced at her, and she met his gaze, nodded, and then walked in.
Mu Qian also went into the bathroom to clean herself up, and then hurried out when she heard the sound. When she saw Lu Yuan, she couldn't help but be stunned, "You... didn't sleep all night?"
"No." Lu Yuan replied, "I just didn't sleep well. Why did you wake up so early?"
Mu Qian listened and didn't answer. She just stretched out her hand to pull Lu Yuan and sat on the sofa by the window.
"Are you going back to Tongcheng today?" Lu Yuan asked.
"Yes." Mu Qian nodded, "Grandpa and Qi Ran are waiting for me. Where are you?"
Rong Heng said: "I still need to stay to handle some procedures. It should take less than two days. I will go back then."
Mu Qian looked at Lu Yuan again, and Lu Yuan reached out to hold her hand and said, "I... will stay with him, so I won't go with you today."
Mu Qian probably knew what she was going to do when she stayed, so she didn't say much. She just said: "Okay. Rong Heng, you have to take good care of Yuanyuan. If she loses a pound of flesh when she returns to Tongcheng, I will blame it on you."
superior."
After hearing this, Rong Heng glanced at Lu Yuan and replied, "I wish she could gain more weight."
Lu Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, and after a moment, he said to Mu Qian: "Go back and have a good rest, and don't think too much. I will be back with you in two days."
"Don't worry." Mu Qian smiled slightly, "I will be fine...and so will you."
Lu Yuan nodded, then stretched out his hand and hugged Mu Qian gently.
Mu Qian's eyelids felt faintly wet, but she quickly suppressed it.
The two sisters parted ways for a while. Mu Qian and Huo Jinxi returned to Tongcheng, while Lu Yuan stayed here, waiting for Rong Heng to settle the affairs here before going back together.
The case procedure here is concluded, which means that Lu Yuan can take Lu Yuchuan's body back to Tongcheng.
The reason why she stayed was for this moment.
Rong Heng knew this very well, so he worked with unprecedented intensity during the past two days. For such a large case, he was able to complete all the handover and closing procedures within two days.
On the third day, Lu Yuan received a call informing her that she could collect Lu Yuchuan's body.
At that time, Rong Heng was still handling the final finishing work at the local police station. It was not until the evening that he took the time to call Lu Yuan.
"Are you done?" Lu Yuan asked on the phone.
"Not even close." Rong Heng said, "Have you eaten? If not, I'll ask the hotel to deliver food to you."
"No need." Lu Yuan said quickly, "I have already checked out."
Rong Heng suddenly realized something, "Where are you?"
"I'm on my way back to Tongcheng." Lu Yuan was sitting in the car of the funeral parlor, looking at the last ray of light on the horizon, and said, "If we travel all night, we can return to Tongcheng tomorrow morning."
Rong Heng stood up with a loud sound, and strode out of the borrowed office under the curious eyes of a group of team members, and came to the corridor, "Why didn't you wait for me and didn't say a word to me when you left?"
"I know you are very busy, so I don't want to disturb you." Lu Yuan said, "Besides, I don't want dad... to wait any longer."
After hearing this, Rong Heng couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and then asked again: "Where have you been?"
"On the highway." Lu Yuan said, "I've been driving for several hours and I don't know where I am."
"How many drivers have you found?" Rong Heng asked again.
"Two." Lu Yuan said, "They take turns driving. This is safer."
Rong Heng anxiously unbuttoned another shirt button, looked at his watch, and then said: "I probably won't be able to make it today. I won't be able to get back until tomorrow morning at the earliest. You can call me at any time."
"Yeah." Lu Yuan responded, and then added, "Don't stay up too late, don't be in a hurry to come back... I can handle the next thing."
"Lu Yuan——"
"Go ahead and go ahead." Lu Yuan interrupted him, "I'll send you the location at any time, okay?"
Rong Heng listened, paused again, and finally just said: "Ask the driver to drive slower and pay attention to safety."
"good."
After ending the call with Lu Yuan, Rong Heng stood in the corridor and lit a cigarette for himself. After taking two puffs, he couldn't help but call Huo Jinxi again.
Huo Jinxi must be at home. There are the voices of Mr. Huo and Huo Qiran in the background, both talking to Mu Qian.
"Second brother." Rong Heng called him and said, "My work here is not over yet. Lu Yuan has taken Lu Yuchuan's body and rushed back to Tongcheng. You can help her, after all, she is a woman."
Child, how can you deal with these things?"
Huo Jinxi didn't seem surprised. After responding, he said, "I'll have someone pick her up in the direction of the city."
Mu Qian, who was holding Huo Qiran and discussing her homework, suddenly raised her head and looked at him when she heard this, "Who are you picking up?"
Huo Jinxi glanced at her and said calmly: "It's nothing to do with you."
After hearing this, Mu Qian quickly lowered her head and continued to teach Huo Qiran his homework.
Huo Jinxi arranged for someone to pick up Lu Yuan at the intersection into the city early in the morning. Unexpectedly, early the next morning, Lu Yuan passed through Tongcheng without entering. He bypassed the city and let the funeral home's car drive to the suburbs.
In one morning, Lu Yuan completed two major things.
One, she sent Lu Yuchuan's body for cremation.
Second, she buried Lu Yuchuan's ashes.
It was only today that Lu Yuan realized that without all the red tape, some things could be as simple as this.
The place where Lu Yuchuan was buried was right next to Sheng Lin's new grave in the mountain courtyard.
