Xu Xiaolan had already stood up. She said, “Tomorrow is the weekend. I’ll go home and look for that photo!”
Gu Yan thought for a moment and nodded.
The next morning, Xu Xiaolan decided to go home and look for that photo after her morning shift ended. Gu Yan was also on a half-day shift. She had to confirm the situation with Sun Lihua.
Before that, Gu Yan called Qin bin who was at the safety center and told him to let Sun Lihua stay at his house. She planned to look for her in the afternoon.
Qin bin agreed immediately, “No problem. I happen to have something to do too. I’ll pick you up later and go with you.”
“Okay.”
Qin bin was indeed busy because another gang of thieves had been caught in the center and needed to be properly interrogated and cleaned up. There was also some food at his house, so Sun Lihua’s breakfast should not be a problem.
On the other hand, Gu Yan was done with the morning’s work. She changed out of her white coat, tidied up, and took a car to the west side of the city.
She still had to go to the hospital to check whether she was pregnant or not.
An hour later, Gu Yan arrived at the westernmost part of Planet Millet, which was another city next to planet Millet. She registered and went to check.
“You’re not pregnant,”the gynecologist said directly after the ultrasound.
Gu Yan asked in puzzlement, “But my period has been delayed for almost ten days.”
“That means it’s not going to change. Either you’ve been under too much pressure recently, or you can go to the Chinese medical hospital for a check-up and recuperation.”
Gu Yan was very clear that there was absolutely nothing wrong with her body. Moreover, she had experienced so many things that she would not change her environment at all. The stress was so great that it affected her period.
And the results of the examination showed that her body was healthy and there was no problem at all.
So why didn’t her period come?
Gu Yan was puzzled.
When she walked out of the hospital, Gu Yan subconsciously touched her lower abdomen and murmured softly, “If only the little jade pendant was here, then I would know what is wrong with my body.”
Gu Yan remembered that one of the powers of the little jade pendant was that it could examine the body.
However, she also knew that she could not be too greedy. The little jade pendant had already helped her too much. Just like what Liu Xingyun said, everything should be done for a reason. What should come, should leave.
Since she was sure that she was not pregnant, Gu Yan had temporarily calmed down. She sat in the car and immediately returned to planet Millet. Before she went back, she called Qin bin.
“I’ll be at the bus stop in an hour.”
“Okay, I’ll be done here in an hour. I’ll drive straight to the bus stop to pick you up. Then, we’ll go there together.”
“Okay.”
Qin bin sped up his work on the case. Seeing that he was in such a hurry, his subordinate beside him teased, “Captain Qin, is something wrong with you? You’ve been nagging all day. Are we going to have a sister-in-law?”
“Sister-in-law my ass! Hurry up and get to work!”Qin bin scolded with a smile.
When he was done, Qin bin picked up the car keys and walked out. He just happened to pass by Su Jinan, who was walking inside.
Su Jinan came to the safety office to report the case.
Qin bin didn’t know about all this. He had already left the safety office and jumped into the car. He drove directly to the bus station and picked up Gu Yan.
After Gu Yan got into the car, he thought for a moment and said to Qin bin, “Captain Qin, I have something to tell you. I want to see your opinion.”
“What is it?”
“It’s about Sun Lihua.”
Qin bin started the car and turned his head suspiciously. He looked at Gu Yan and asked, “What happened to Sun Lihua?”
