Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 96 Drag
The boy who restrained himself in front of her would occasionally reveal his unruly nature.

Once, she and Jiang Yinian went to a street food stall for a meal.

Two boys of similar age sat at the next table, looking at them with extremely mocking eyes.

Perhaps having had a few drinks, one of them drunkenly shouted, "Damn, with that size, they definitely can't use the woman-on-top position when they're having sex, otherwise... hahaha."

The roadside food stalls were always packed with people in the evening, and his unrestrained sarcasm and malicious laughter attracted countless eyes.

At that moment, Yin Hailan felt utterly ashamed and wished she could disappear from the world immediately.

She's easily embarrassed and can't stand such humiliating words.

"Let's go somewhere else to eat," she said, pulling Jiang Yinian along, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.

However, the next second, Jiang Yinian suddenly darted out like a lit firecracker, grabbed the rude boy by the collar, and punched him.

"Apologize to her!"

They were both young and full of vigor, and the two boys were not to be outdone, so they started fighting with him.

The commotion was quite loud; several people ended up at the police station and were given a lecture by the officers.

Yin Hailan suddenly realized that she seemed to have been a burden to Jiang Yinian all along.

Yin Hailan knew Jiang Yinian's feelings, but she dared not accept his kindness.

Yes, it's because I don't dare.

She felt that there were many more beautiful and healthier girls in the world, and that he deserved a better life instead of wasting his time on her.

Although this disease won't kill you, if the pain is so severe that you can't even walk, you can only rely on medication to relieve the symptoms, which is a considerable expense.

Over the years, thanks to Jiang Yinian's care, Yin Hailan has long felt indebted to him.

Since that fight, Yin Hailan dared not delay him any longer.

She repeatedly hinted that Jiang Yinian should find a girlfriend and stop bothering her all the time.

Jiang Yinian acted as if nothing was wrong: "No, I know you can't get over your troubles right now. It's fine as things are for us. You don't need to feel any burden or pressure. Just treat me like the older brother you grew up with. Isn't it only natural for an older brother to be good to his younger sister?"

"Besides, who knows, one day a beautiful woman might fall from the sky and make me infatuated, and then you'll have what you want. But until then, just accept my kindness to you."

Yin Hailan couldn't refute him, so she just went along with him.

After graduating from university, Yin Hailan and Jiang Yinian both found jobs. Although their relationship didn't progress much, it remained the same as before.

The beauty who could have captivated Jiang Yinian did not appear, and Yin Hailan gradually began to accept Jiang Yinian's kindness to her with a clear conscience.

Perhaps she should try to open her heart and cherish everything she has now.

But misfortune struck again.

Yin Zhijie was diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer.

Fate failed to defeat Yin Hailan, but then dealt another heavy blow to her happy family.

She had thought that the rain would be followed by sunshine and rainbows, but she never imagined that the temporary calm was hiding an even bigger storm.

This storm was devastating, completely crushing Yin Hailan.

"These things were all mentioned unintentionally by Lanlan when we were chatting." Before she knew it, Qin Danping was already in tears.

“Ever since Lao Yin fell ill, Lanlan has suddenly become depressed. She has been under a lot of pressure. I took her to see a psychologist, and the doctor said she has depressive tendencies.”

"Old Yin needed to be hospitalized, and I was overwhelmed with other things, so I could only ask Xiao Nian to take care of her. But for some reason, Lan Lan suddenly... committed suicide by cutting her wrists."

At this point, Qin Danping suddenly lost control of her emotions and burst into tears.

Long tear tracks also ran down Yin Zhijie's face.

"I'm sorry, officers, I lost my composure again." Qin Danping pulled out a tissue from the bedside table, wiped away her tears, and choked out, "Before Lanlan left, she left a suicide note. She said that she was in too much pain living in this world and had become a burden to everyone. If it weren't for her illness, her father wouldn't have become ill from overwork."

“This child always takes all the blame upon herself, but how can I blame her for all of this? I hate myself for not noticing her emotional instability in time and for not being there to comfort her.”

Qin Danping couldn't hold back any longer and broke down in tears.

In that instant, her tearful appearance overlapped with the image of her mother kneeling and weeping.

Regardless of their profession, whether they are dignified and elegant primary school teachers or simple and honest peasant women, they all share a common identity: mothers.

They were all mothers who had lost their children.

The suicide of Yin Hailan and the murder of Sun Hao not only signify the end of their lives, but will also forever cast a shadow of pain over their families.

Wei Qingsong gently held Qin Danping's hand and stroked her heaving back. At this moment, all she could offer was silent comfort.

After hearing Yin Hailan's story, Wei Qingsong became even more suspicious of Jiang Yinian.

He was a fool, a man deeply in love.

He would do anything for Yin Hailan.

But she couldn't understand what Yin Hailan's suicide had to do with Sun Hao.
In a flash, a scene suddenly flashed through her mind.

In the corridor, the young police officer said with a smile, "There are actually people burning paper money in Lover's Grove."

Sun Hao certainly wouldn't transfer money to Yin Hailan for no reason. In mid-July, Yin Hailan suddenly committed suicide, and at the end of July, he transferred 50,000 yuan to Yin Hailan's card.

Could the person burning the paper money be Sun Hao?
Was he paying tribute to Yin Hailan? And was the reason he transferred money to Yin Hailan's account out of guilt?

Based on Sun Hao's habit of speaking without thinking, Wei Qingsong had a general idea in mind.

Although Sun Hao and Yin Hailan were complete strangers, he and Jiang Yinian were high school classmates. Through some unknown means, he learned of Yin Hailan's existence and also about Jiang Yinian's special feelings for her.

He could utter such filthy and vulgar sarcastic remarks to Deng Hong's girlfriend, so he would probably be even more rude to Yin Hailan.

But since he didn't know Yin Hailan, he could only say it to Jiang Yinian.

Sun Hao is a graduate student, while Jiang Yinian is already working. The two don't have much interaction in their lives, except for sending messages to Jiang Yinian through social media.

Jiang Yinian had to take care of Yin Hailan, who was depressed, and the two spent a lot of time together. It was indeed possible that Yin Hailan could see the messages on his phone.

Based on the contents of Yin Hailan's suicide note, Sun Hao likely mentioned negative terms such as "burden" or "sluggishness".

Yin Hailan was in poor condition at the time, and his words became the last straw that broke her psychological defenses.

Therefore, after hearing the news of Yin Hailan's death, Sun Hao felt uneasy and transferred money to Yin Hailan's card, and burned paper money to commemorate her.

The message that made him so uneasy might have been given to him personally by Jiang Yinian.

With this in mind, Wei Qingsong's thoughts became much clearer.

Just then, Lu Jingming's cell phone rang.

He turned and walked out of the ward to answer the phone. Less than five minutes later, he pushed the door open and came back in, mouthing, "We've found something."
