If it were the Zhang Family, then what would be their motive? If they simply didn’t want to raise an outsider and decided to harm him, that wouldn’t hold up. After all, Guo Anyi’s packages arrived every month. Even for those things, they wouldn’t lay a hand on Guo Anyi. That would mean someone was targeting the Guo Family, wanting Guo Anyi’s life, and also not wanting to reveal any flaws that might arouse suspicion. They had created the illusion of accidents several times, like the previous glass incident—not hesitating even if it meant many children got injured—and this time, the fall into the water. If Guo Anyi hadn’t been so fortunate as to be rescued, his life would likely have been lost already. It must be said, Guo Anyi was really lucky; those public security officers must have been deployed in advance last night.
As she was lost in thought, someone suddenly patted her shoulder. "Doctor Chu, what are you thinking about? You didn’t rest well last night. You should go back and rest."
Yunyi nodded at them. "Okay, I’ll pack up and head back now. I’m really so sleepy I can barely function."
She had just returned to her small courtyard and was preparing to rest when someone came to her door. "Hello, are you Comrade Chu Yunyi?"
Yunyi looked at the public security officer before her. "Yes, I am."
The older public security officer took out his credentials. "This is my ID. Regarding what happened last night, we need your cooperation to provide a statement."
Yunyi stepped aside. "Please, come in."
The statement was taken quickly and completed in a short time. The two public security officers stood up. "Comrade Chu, regarding your heroic actions last night, we have reported them to our superiors. There should be a letter of commendation sent to the regiment headquarters."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the two public security officers took their leave.
Instead of going to the cafeteria for food, Yunyi ate provisions from her space and then went to nap on the kang bed to catch up on sleep.
If someone hadn’t banged on the main gate, she might not have woken up at all. "Doctor Chu, something’s happened!"
Groggily, Yunyi called out, "Coming!"
She quickly tied her hair into a bun, threw on a coat, and slipped her feet into her shoes before stepping out of the courtyard. "What happened?"
As her words faded, she opened the main gate, then bent down to pull her shoes on properly.
