Seeing her serious face, Huangfu Liyue asked puzzledly: "Why? Mother-in-law, do you hate me?"

Granny Yin didn't explain, but said: "You don't belong here, forget everything here when you go back, live a good life, don't think about coming back."

Hearing these words, Huangfu Liyue thought to herself, her mother-in-law probably felt that she had encountered so many bad things here, and she was afraid that she would leave a shadow in her heart, so she probably said that.

Thinking that her mother-in-law was also kind, she responded with a smile: "Okay, thank you for reminding me, mother-in-law."

Standing in this room, the cool wind kept pouring in from outside, and she suddenly felt a little cold.

"Mother-in-law, it's late. I'm going back to rest. It's cold, so you should go back to your room."

Granny Yin didn't respond, and she didn't stay too long, she tightened her coat and walked out.

As soon as he stepped out the door, his mother-in-law's voice came from behind him.

"Is there no news from her yet?"

Huangfu Liyue stopped, turned to look at her, and replied: "Not yet, but I heard from Jingchen that she can't escape, there should be news soon."

Granny Yin looked at the secret path, thoughtful.

"Based on what I know about her, she is a person who will never give up until she achieves her goal. Before you catch her, you'd better be careful."

"Thank you mother-in-law for your concern, I will be careful."

After responding, she left the backyard.

Grandma Yin stood alone in the house and did not leave until early in the morning.

When the sun was slowly rising, Huangfu Liyue finished washing and walked out of the room.

At the door, Mu Jingchen was talking with Shao Ming, arranging to return to Jiangcheng.

"Liyue's body is weak now, and it's not suitable for sitting in a car for too long, and it's better to go back by water."

"Okay, I will ask someone to arrange a boat to come as soon as possible."

"Go."

After Shao Ming left, Huangfu Liyue came over.

"Jingchen, has the arrangements for going back been made?"

"Well, it's arranged, we'll go home tomorrow."

Mu Jingchen saw that she was wearing thin clothes, so he took off his coat and put it on her.

"Why are you wearing so little? Dr. Huo explained that your body can't catch cold now."

"It's okay, I'm not cold, the sun is out today, and I'm going to go out to bask in the sun."

"Just right, I'm going to say goodbye to Officer Meng, let's go together."

Huangfu Liyue had been panicking in her room for the past few days, worrying that she would not have a chance to go out, so she readily agreed.

The two left the hotel together and walked to Officer Meng's residence.

Along the way, people passing by them cast their eyes on them, or whispered to each other.

"Have you heard that the disappearance in the town was all done by Cheng Cui, and has nothing to do with them. We were all misled by Cheng Cui before and wronged them."

"Also, Police Officer Meng has clarified that the previous murder was also committed by Cheng Cui, and these two people took the blame for Cheng Cui."

"Not only that, they also rescued a pregnant woman and her child..."

Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen's clothes were somewhat different from those of the people here, and with the obvious scars on Mu Jingchen's face, the residents of the town recognized them at a glance.

It's just that these people's tone of disgust and rejection before has become ashamed and respectful now.

Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen looked at each other and smiled as they listened to the discussion in their ears.

The two went all the way to Officer Meng's residence and met Officer Meng.

After a few days of recuperation, the poison on Police Officer Meng's body has been discharged, but because of the strong poison, his whole face is still blue-gray, and he looks listless.

Seeing the two of them coming, he greeted them with a smile.

"Mr. Mu, Mrs. Mu, you are here, please sit down."

"Thank you."

The two sat down, and Mu Jingchen asked, "Officer Meng, are you okay?"

Officer Meng also sat down, and replied weakly: "It's much better, there's nothing serious about it."

After speaking, he sighed again.

"I was really careless this time. I didn't expect such a scene in the secret path. If it wasn't for good luck, I might not be able to come back."

"No one would have imagined that the place connected by the secret passage would be such a dangerous place."

"Yeah, the seemingly peaceful ancient town actually contains something unknown."

After chatting for a few words, Mu Jingchen explained his purpose.

"Officer Meng, I will take my wife out of the ancient town in the next two days. I came here today to say goodbye to you."

"bid farewell?"

Officer Meng seemed a little surprised by their decision: "Cheng Cui hasn't been arrested yet, are you leaving now?"

Mu Jingchen glanced at Huangfu Liyue's stomach.

"Originally, I planned to take my wife to relax, but I didn't expect that something would happen to her. Now that she is in the third trimester of pregnancy, I thought it would be better to go home to recuperate. As for Cheng Cui, I will leave some people behind Here to assist Officer Meng."

Officer Meng nodded in understanding.

"Mr. Mu is still considerate. If that's the case, I wish you two a smooth journey."

"Thank you. I also hope that police officer Meng can catch Cheng Cui as soon as possible and end this disappearance case."

Speaking of Cheng Cui, Police Officer Meng was worried.

"It's strange to say that several days have passed, and there is still no news from Cheng Cui."

"Officer Meng doesn't have to worry. My people have already gone to that mountain to hunt her down. Unless she can stay in the cave for the rest of her life, she won't be able to escape as long as she shows her face."

Speaking of this, Huangfu Liyue interjected: "After so many days, the food Cheng Cui brought should have been eaten long ago. If she continues to stay in the cave, she will definitely starve to death, but these few days have been without her." The news is really abnormal, so I guess, is there another way out of that cave?"

Mu Jingchen continued: "Even if there is another way out, it won't help. If you want to leave that mountain, you can only cross the river by boat. I have already sent someone to inquire that the boats in the town will not go out these days. She wants to have a way out." Enough food to survive unless..."

Officer Meng frowned, and then said: "Unless there are other exits, can she return to the ancient town?"

Mu Jingchen nodded deeply.

With this conjecture, Officer Meng immediately called for his subordinates.

"The inspection of the ancient town has been strengthened in the past few days. Don't relax your vigilance. Especially the exit of the ancient town must be strictly guarded!"

"Yes!"

Just after giving the order, a man came in from outside.

"Brother Meng, the family of the surviving woman and child are here."

Officer Meng looked outside and said, "Let them in."

Soon, two middle-aged couples came in from outside.

Seeing Meng Gang, they immediately plopped and knelt on the ground.

"Officer Meng, thank you for saving my daughter."

"Officer Meng, thank you for saving my granddaughter, we kowtow to you..."

The faces of the two middle-aged couples were covered with tears, their eyes were red and swollen, and they looked particularly pitiful.

Police Officer Meng was at a loss for a moment, and quickly said, "Uncles and aunts, get up first."

He reached out to help, but the old man was too persistent and insisted on kowtow to thank him.

Helpless, he could only say: "Uncle and aunt, you made a mistake. The person who saved your daughter and granddaughter was not me, but this Mr. Mu."
