"Qingli!" Si Mo suddenly shouted and shook his head at Qingli.

Shi Ye stared at the blood-stained ring on his hand, immersed in indescribable sorrow, and it took him a while to recover.

He raised his bloodshot eyes and looked at Qingli without any focus, "You just mentioned Ranran? What happened to Ranran?"

Qingli's expression flickered, "Nothing... nothing, just... Lan also told us to take good care of Ranran."

A desolate and bitter smile flashed across Shi Ye's lips.

If he couldn't bring Lanlan back, he might never see a smile on his son's face again.

Shi Ye closed his fingers and held the ruby ​​ring tightly in his palm, "I'll bring her back."

Qingli said: "Si Mo and I plan to go to the base to find her tonight."

Shi Ye frowned: "Are you two going to die?"

Qingli looked fearless, "Lan is gone, and neither of us intends to live in vain. If we die together, we can still be companions. We can't let her go to that cold world alone."

Even though this world isn't warm.

But at least they have each other to keep each other warm.

Shi Ye was slightly stunned, and looked at the determined look in Qingli's eyes.

He looked at Si Mo again and saw that Chong Mo also looked calm and fearless about life and death.

It seems that the friendship between the three of them is much deeper than he imagined.

Shi Ye glanced at his watch and said, "It's ten o'clock in the morning now. Give me some time to check it out. Don't rush to die. I will go to the base with you when I have news. We don't have to wait until the evening."

Qingli's eyes lit up slightly and she looked at Si Mo happily.

With the help of Master Shi, it would be much easier for them to bring Gu Jinlan back.

Si Mo did not express his opinion.

Shi Ye asked him: "Do you have any questions that need my explanation?"

Si Mo raised his chin slightly, "You don't need to explain anything anymore. No matter how you explain, I will always remain skeptical of you. Only if you bring Gu Jinlan back, I will believe you. Then, I will apologize to you for my behavior today."

"I don't need your apology." Shi Ye said, "Since we all truly care about Lan Lan, we should stand on the same front."

He is not a tolerant person and will never forgive anyone who offends him.

But Si Mo's offense today was because he cared about Gu Jinlan.

He can understand the saying that worrying too much will lead to confusion.

"As long as Lanlan can come back safely, I don't care about anything else. Just wait for my news." After saying that, Shi Ye was about to leave.

Qingli quickly followed, "I'll go with you."

"You can't help me if you follow me." Shi Ye said, "Since Lan Lan has been exposed, maybe Nina can recognize you too."

Qingli wanted to say something, but Si Mo said, "We will listen to Master Shi's arrangements and wait for good news."

At this time, Si Mo had regained his composure.

Reason told him that no matter whether the Tenth Master could be trusted or not, at least based on the current situation, if he chose to believe the Tenth Master, there would still be a glimmer of hope in bringing Gu Jinlan back.

If the Tenth Master was killed, it would just be one more person to be buried with Gu Jinlan.

Anyway, they are not afraid of death, let alone the tricks played by the Tenth Master.

After watching Shi Ye walk into the dense forest, Si Mo retracted his gaze and looked at Qing Li in reproach, "Did you want to tell him that Shi Xingran is Lan's son?"

Qingli nodded.

Si Mo said helplessly: "Have you forgotten what Lan said? She said that if she can't come back alive, Shi Xingran's identity will always be a secret known to the three of us."

Although Si Mo was not in the cave at that time, he could hear every word Gu Jinlan said clearly through the wireless headphones.

"I remember..." Qingli explained, "Just now, I saw him so sad and desperate that I couldn't help myself. I thought... if he knew that Shi Xingran's biological mother was Lan, his future life might not be so hopeless."

"Mo, I know you don't completely believe Master Shi, but I believe him. His explanations make sense, and I can see that he is really worried about Lan."

"The pain he is feeling right now must be no less than ours. He even shed tears when he saw the ring just now."

Qingli believed that a man like Shi Ye would cry only because he loved someone deeply.

Si Mo asked: "Do you think you said it for his own good?"

Qingli blinked blankly, "What do you mean?"

"You're wrong." Si Mo shook his head. "The reason why Lan told us that if she couldn't come back alive, we should never tell anyone about her relationship with Shi Xingran is because she hoped that they would forget about her and start a new life in the future."

"If you tell this to Master Shi, I'm afraid he and his son will never forget her in their lives."

"And have you ever thought about how much regret he would feel if he only knew that Lan was his son's biological mother after Lan died? It would only add more pain to him."

Hearing Si Mo say this, Qing Li was enlightened and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately you stopped me in time, I almost did something that went against Lan's wishes."

Si Mo shook his head helplessly, "You are just too impulsive sometimes, and never think before doing anything."

Qingli said: "With you and Lan here, I don't need a brain. You two are my brains."

"It's a pity that she is gone..." Si Mo looked towards the lake, and a layer of mist of pain once again covered his emerald green eyes.

Qingli became optimistic, "We haven't found Lan's body yet, so there's a chance she's still alive. And now that Master Shi has joined us, things may be looking up."

Qingli tilted her head to look at Si Mo's pale face, "You actually trust Master Shi in your heart, right? Otherwise you wouldn't have said those words just now out of consideration for him."

Si Mo remained noncommittal, "Let's see what he will do."

After Shi Ye passed through the dense forest, he arrived at where he parked his car.

He suddenly saw the bodies of the five men in the surveillance video, neatly placed next to his car.

He sneered.

It goes without saying that Si Mo did this for him to see.

He stepped over the body and got into the car.

Starting the car, Shi Ye drove straight to Nina's house.

While calling Old Madam Shi.

The phone rang for a long time before it was connected. The worried voice of the old lady came from the Bluetooth headset: "Xiaoye, what happened?"

It was late at night in Haicheng at this moment. As Madam Shi had grown old, she went to bed early every day.

Shi Ye knew her daily routine and usually wouldn't call her at this time to disturb her rest.

So receiving Shi Ye's call at this time made Mrs. Shi feel very uneasy.

Shi Ye asked directly: "Grandma, where do you buy the medicine I usually take?"

"Have you finished taking the medicine?" asked Mrs. Shi.

"No, grandma, please answer me first, where did you buy the medicine from?"
