496 Reunion
While Qiao An was in pain, Uncle Xiao reported so good news to her. “An’an, it’s all thanks to you that we were able to defeat the core forces of the drug cartel. The drug cartel leader, Nighthawk, is dead, and his trusted aides have fallen into the legal net. Their goods have also been confiscated. An’an, you’ve made a great contribution.”
He thought that Qiao An would definitely be overjoyed. After all, she had been running around for a long ti in regard to this matter. Unexpectedly, Qiao An said dejectedly, “I’m just a girl. I don’t pursue fa and fortune. I just want a warm and happy ho. Uncle Xiao, my Brother Xiaoran is gone. What’s the use of fa and fortune?”
Uncle Xiao looked sad. He knew that no amount of good news could make up for Qiao An’s pain of losing her husband. But he still felt the need to share those huge successes with her.
“One more thing, An’an. Xiao Ming and Falcon are ho,” Uncle Xiao said.
Qiao Anzhi’s calm expression slowly cracked. “They’re back. Brother Xiaoran didn’t waste his efforts.”
Uncle Xiao said, “Xiaoran saved them. However, they’re seriously injured and are currently being treated in the hospital.”
Qiao An looked up. Tears welled in her eyes.
“Brother Xiaoran, as you wished, you brought them ho. You must be very happy.”
Uncle Xiao’s eyes moistened.
Huo Zhou’s mother pushed Uncle Xiao out and said angrily, “Alright, alright. Don’t ntion it. Tell her to calm down. Why do you have to tell her these things now?”
Uncle Xiao said, “I just want her to be happy.”
“Can she be happy? All the happy things you’re talking about were exchanged with her husband’s life.”
Uncle Xiao sighed. “Xiaoran is a hero.”
“We don’t need heroes in our family,” Huo Zhou’s mother cried.
Uncle Xiao looked into Huo Zhou’s mother’s red eyes and turned to leave.
Huo Xiaoran’s disappearance took away Qiao An’s light.
Qiao An returned to the courtyard where she and Xiaoran lived in a daze until her children, Angel, Ki Ki and Joey, ran to her room and hugged her leg. “Mommy, they said that Daddy will never co back? Is that true?”
The three children cried together, making Qiao An’s heart ache.
At that mont, she realized that she had no right to sink into sadness. She still had responsibilities on her shoulders. She still had children to take care of.
She knelt down and hugged the children. She tried to smile. “Dad’s just on a business trip. He’ll be back.”
Only then did the children stop crying.
Ti was the best dicine for healing. No matter how sad Qiao An was, she had learned to hide her sadness and only leave her calm self to outsiders.
She didn’t want anyone else to worry about her.
Five days later, Xiao Ming and Falcon’s injuries were under control. Falcon said to the visiting Uncle Xiao, “How’s An’an?”
“She’s strong. She’s clearly devastated. But she’s afraid we’ll worry and doesn’t show it.”
Falcon begged, “Arrange it for . I want to see Qiao An and the children as soon as possible.”
Xiao Ming also clamored to go. “Uncle,
too.”
Uncle Xiao’s gaze outlined their faces and he said, “The police station needs to investigate and confirm your identities. Only after confirming that you’re our soldiers can we let you go.”
Falcon was furious. “Xiao, don’t go overboard.”
Xiao Ming added, “It’s indeed too much.”
Uncle Xiao said awkwardly, “This is just a procedure. We all believe you.”
Falcon said angrily, “Speaking of which, I hold a higher position than you. You should listen to my instructions. I order you to arrange it imdiately. I want to see Qiao An imdiately.”
Uncle Xiao was stunned.
Falcon looked at him. “My police number is 99197, and my file password is s78815. That’s my wife’s birthday.”
Uncle Xiao left dejectedly.
Back at the police station, he pulled up Falcon’s file.
It was a file that had been sealed for a long ti, but when he opened it, Uncle Xiao saw that the screen was full of dals.
It could be said that he had provided the main clues for the major narcotics cases in the past few decades, and he had designed every mission.
And his position was three levels higher than that of Uncle Xiao.
Uncle Xiao gasped.
He ran back to the Xiao family’s courtyard as quickly as possible and ca to the old man’s bed to ask if Falcon’s file was true.
Old Master Xiao’s eyes were filled with tears. “He’s finally ho. I personally recorded the information in the file for him. He’s the light of the country.”
He was in critical condition. When he heard that Falcon had returned ho, he said with tears in his eyes, “I dragged my sick body just to wait for the day he returned. I could not die because I was afraid you wouldn’t believe him.”
“Son, help
up. I’m going to the police station to personally award him.”
“Dad, wait a few days. Don’t be anxious. His injuries are serious. He’s still in the hospital.”
“We have to treat him with the most advanced dical team.”
Uncle Xiao believed Falcon and fulfilled his requests. On this day, Uncle Xiao sent soone to welco Falcon and welcod him and Xiao Ming ho with the highest etiquette.
However, Falcon felt extrely bitter when he saw the luxury car.
He said to Mr. Xiao, “Those dead narcotics officers and my Xiaoran used their lives to pave a way ho for . But I didn’t co back to enjoy such good treatnt. I just want to see their families. To observe piety for my dead brothers.”
Mr. Xiao’s eyes were filled with tears.
He silently retreated from the soldiers and changed to the car to an ordinary one.
Only then did Falcon and Xiao Ming get into the car.
Xiao Ming looked out the window at the bustling streets on the way. For the first ti, he was extrely relaxed and calm.
“Master, I never dread that I would be able to return one day. After completing the mission in glory.”
...
Uncle Xiao sighed. “This ti, it’s all thanks to Qiao An. She touched Rosa with her love. It’s also thanks to Xiaoran. He was the one who suggested to invest the core police force at Cofco Wharf.”
Falcon said, “I heard that you won by a narrow margin. From this, it can be seen that Xiaoran’s judgnt is right.”
Uncle Xiao’s eyes were red. “Such a good child.”
Tears welled in Falcon’s eyes.
Xiao Ming said, “Uncle, don’t rub salt in Master’s scars. Master has been sad because of Xiaoran these past few days.”
Uncle Xiao also knew the sorrow of seeing his son die. He said, “Yes, I understand.”
When the car arrived at Heavenly Imperial Garden, it stopped in front of Qiao An’s house.
The children were playing in the courtyard of the compound. When they heard the sound of a car horn, they ran over to watch.
Xiao Ming saw Joey and tears welled up in his eyes.
He quickly pushed open the car door and got out. It was Joey in his eyes, but he knelt down and hugged Angel and KiKi.
They were Xiaoran’s children, the children of his benefactor.
...
Xiao Ming loved them dearly.
“Master, they’re Xiaoran and Qiao An’s children.”
Falcon got out of the car and was actually overwheld with excitent when he saw his grandchildren.
He placed his hands on his clothes and rubbed them hard. Only then did he reach out and choke. “Can Grandpa hug you?”
