"Have there been any news from the third one?" Chen's mother took advantage of Chen's father being in the study and came to ask Chen Lijun.
Ever since learning of Suizi's marriage, the Chen family, except for Chen's father, was experiencing a shock equivalent to a magnitude-ten earthquake.
Chen Lijun initially planned to visit in person, but due to a work transition at her unit, she was tied up with work. Therefore, she sent Chen Ziyao, who lived closest to Yang Village, to gather information.
"Not yet." Chen Lijun also found it strange.
Her younger brother had set out yesterday, and it had been a day. He should have sent word by now, but there was no news from him.
When they called the army unit, they said Chen Ziyao had taken leave and hadn't returned to the unit yet, as if he'd vanished from the face of the earth.
"Could that street gangster have tied up the third one in some mountain ditch to feed the wolves?" Chen's mother's mind was filled with terrifying images.
