Chapter 36 Life
Chapter 36 Life

"Well... I guess so." Bai Yanliang acknowledged the identity of the so-called informant.

Yang Yiyi's bright eyes were twinkling with stars as she stared at Bai Yanliang excitedly. In her understanding, Bai Yanliang should be the kind of unsung hero in novels and movies who lurked deep in evil for the sake of justice.

"Are you on a mission?"

"So... right?"

"Wow!"

"How old are you? Are you married?"

"..."

"Hey, do you think I have the talent to be a detective?"

"..."

The misunderstanding of this enthusiastic student from the Affiliated College of Science and Technology was obviously getting deeper and deeper. Although Bai Yanliang was not in the mood to talk, Yang Yiyi kept pestering him with questions.

"Can you help me with something?"

Bai Yanliang suddenly spoke.

Yang Yiyi's eyes lit up, and she immediately patted her not-so-full chest and said in a tender voice, "Speak!"

"Go hide in your room first. Your father and I have something important to discuss later." Bai Yanliang looked into her eyes and said seriously.

"No problem!" Yang Yiyi was very excited. She felt as if she was involved in some huge plan. She excitedly picked up her schoolbag and quickly hid in the house.

Then he closed the door and put his ear to it to listen to the noise outside.

Bai Yanliang shook his head helplessly.

This girl is too well protected and her mind is not very mature.

Just as he was thinking this, Yang Wanlong finally came back.

"I found a restaurant and ordered a few side dishes. They told me that I could order takeout directly to my home with my phone, and there was a big discount. Hi..." Yang Wanlong held a plastic bag in each hand, quite speechless. Then he looked at Bai Yanliang and said, "You should buy a mobile phone. It doesn't work there. Now that it's out, you should keep up with the times."

Yang Yiyi listened to his father's words through the door, and suddenly imagined a scene in his mind where Bai Yanliang was lurking behind enemy lines, his cell phone was monitored and could not be used, and he could only transmit information to the outside world through a special password. He was so excited that he stamped his feet.

Naturally, Bai Yanliang and Yang Wanlong could not be hidden from this little noise. Yang Wanlong shouted into the inner room, "Yi Yi?"

Yang Yiyi opened the door a crack, revealing half of her face: "I didn't hear anything... I didn't hear anything!"

"What are you talking about? You came out to eat right after you got home. Why are you here so early today? Are you not going to the evening study session?"

Yang Wanlong asked as he placed the food on the table.

"Something happened in the affiliated hospital just now, and we were all rushed back!" Yang Yiyi opened the door of her bedroom, leaned half of her body out and said excitedly.

"Something happened?" Yang Wanlong looked at her in confusion, and Bai Yanliang also looked at Yang Yiyi with a little curiosity.

"Yes! The assistant instructor of our affiliated hospital was suddenly stabbed by a crazy student with a compass. He has been sent to the hospital."

go Ape?

This word touched the sensitive nerves of Yang Wanlong and Bai Yanliang. Yang Wanlong sat down on the sofa, looked at his daughter, and asked: "Do you know what happened?"

Yang Yiyi glanced at Yang Wanlong, then at Bai Yanliang, and couldn't help feeling a little excited when he saw that both of them were looking at him.

But she then shook her head slightly and said, "I'm not too sure. When we just started the evening self-study class, we heard a quarrel outside. There were sounds of things being smashed, people calling for help, and the security guards yelling and cursing. It was a mess, with everything. Later I heard that one of the students suddenly went crazy, picked up a compass and stabbed the assistant instructor in the neck, piercing it directly, and there was blood all over the floor!"

"No one stopped him?" Yang Wanlong frowned slightly.

"Stopped him! I heard that several security guards pulled him, but they couldn't stop him even though his clothes were torn! That student is incredibly strong!" Bai Yanliang's mind moved, he turned his head to look at Yang Wanlong and said, "Uncle Yang, I think..."

Yang Wanlong pondered for a moment. His work as a criminal policeman was already busy, and now he was following a case that had reached a critical juncture. There was a 90% chance that this campus violence conflict would not fall on him.

"Yi Yi." Yang Wanlong suddenly called out, "Tomorrow is the weekend, and something happened in your affiliated hospital again. You accompany your brother Bai to buy a mobile phone."

Bai Yanliang was about to refuse, but Yang Wanlong said, "Let Yi Yi go with you when the time comes. We can keep in touch through cell phones."

"Got it!" Yang Yiyi was not very happy at first, but when she heard that she could investigate this violent incident, she immediately smiled.

Bai Yanliang was silent for a moment. He vaguely understood Yang Wanlong's attitude towards his arrangements.

"Thank you, Uncle Yang."

In the end, Bai Yanliang smiled, and no one could see any reluctance on his face.

"Let's eat." Yang Wanlong called.

The three of them sat around a table, looking quite harmonious, but Bai Yanliang's waist was straight, without a trace of casualness.

Yang Yiyi chattered away and asked all kinds of strange questions, showing great interest in this young and handsome "informant".

But Bai Yanliang just smiled and didn't answer her.

Yang Wanlong also tacitly remained silent.

After a quick wash after dinner, Bai Yanliang lay down on the sofa.

After all, he couldn't bear to sleep in a strange woman's room. Seeing that he insisted, Yang Wanlong didn't try to persuade him much.

Sleeping on the sofa was not a big deal for Bai Yanliang, and because he was too tired, he fell asleep quickly.

Bai Yanliang's dreams are bizarre.

He dreamed of Zhang Qiao under the bed, Li Yuhua whose whole body was swollen from being soaked, Ding Lei whose face was disfigured beyond recognition, and Feng Xinghan whose body was nowhere to be found.

In the end, Bai Yanliang didn't even see the body of that strong middle-aged man.

Life is so fragile, maybe one day, he will die quietly in another world.

Maybe only then will he understand what a ghost is.

Are ghosts... the souls of dead humans?

Perhaps, our rich consciousness is a tragic mistake that occurred during a long evolutionary process, and humans are creatures that should not exist at all.

Because we know so much about ourselves.

"Hey! Wake up!"

Weird dreams were nested one after another. Bai Yanliang was dreaming that Bai Yanren was standing in front of him and saying something to him when a lively girl's voice sounded in his ears.

Bai Yanliang slowly opened his eyes and saw a pretty face that still looked childish.

He turned his head slightly, and the lazy morning light came in from the window, and the air was filled with the freshness of the early morning. The hustle and bustle of the city was making its own sound. In this forest of steel and concrete, there were occasionally one or two chirping birds and blooming wild flowers, revealing the breath of life.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing Bai Yanliang looking out the window, a little distracted, Yang Yiyi also looked at him puzzledly, but found nothing unusual.

Bai Yanliang smiled when he heard this, shook his head, got up from the sofa, and said:

"Nothing, I just thought it's great to be alive."
