Ch 58: This Heart
It’s not hard to see that Lin Yun should have been waiting here all night. Her eyes were full of bloodshot, her expression was haggard, and the door was open… she should have been paying attention to the situation outside the door all the time.
“Sister Yun, didn’t we agree that I would contact you the first time I had news? Another sleepless night?”
Qin Jin-nian said helplessly.
Lin Yun forced a smile and shook her head: “It’s okay, I can’t sleep either… Xiao Nian, Ningning…”
“Let’s go inside and talk.” Qin Jin-nian sighed.
Although Lin Yun was very anxious, she could only nod in agreement.
The two entered the door and took a look at the situation in the room. Qin Jin-nian sighed again… He had been to Lin Yun’s house more than once or twice. Although the house was small, Lin Yun usually took great care of it, and it was basically spotless. The bedding was also neatly folded.
But now, in this room, there was a pervasive sense of decadence. The floor was littered with trash, most of which were used tissues, probably for wiping tears.
The bedding was also scattered, and the bed was wrinkled and messy.
On the desk, there were some small toys of Ningning…
A room often reflects the owner’s mood. Now, this decadent room, like Lin Yun’s heart, was broken, desolate, and full of anxiety.
“Xiao Nian…”
Lin Yun looked at Qin Jin-nian expectantly.
Qin Jin-nian nodded, and then said to Lin Yun: “Basically, there are some clues.”
Lin Yun’s eyes immediately lit up, and she anxiously said: “Then Ningning…”
“Ningning is still over there for the time being… but don’t worry, Ningning is very important to them, and they won’t easily hurt her. She is safe now.”
“Ah?”
Hearing that Ningning was still in the other party’s hands, Lin Yun became anxious again. Although Qin Jin-nian said she was safe, how could there be a mother in the world who could bear her child being in an extremely dangerous place?
Especially according to Qin Jin-nian’s words, that place was still the so-called Evil Church.
Just hearing this name filled Lin Yun with unease.
“Then, then what should we do?”
Lin Yun was so anxious that she was about to cry. In this matter, she obviously had no way. This sense of powerlessness was also the reason why she was even more impatient.
“Don’t worry, my friend has already thought of a way, and will definitely bring Ningning back safely. But this will take some time… We can’t alert them. If we alert them and they move Ningning… it will be very troublesome to find Ningning again.”
Qin Jin-nian said seriously.
Before Lin Yun could say anything else, Qin Jin-nian said seriously again: “This matter can’t be rushed, Sister Yun, your current state is very bad. I told you before that you can’t give up hope, otherwise, Ningning will be found, but something will happen to you… What will Ningning do in the future?”
Lin Yun opened her mouth, but then tears couldn’t stop falling, and she said with a sob: “I know, I know… but, but I can’t help it… Ningning clings to me the most, she needs me to accompany her every night before she can fall asleep. It’s been two days, two days, without me by her side, she, she…”
As she spoke, she could no longer speak, and she was sobbing and crying on the ground.
Obviously, she had suppressed this emotion for a long time, and she couldn’t stop it at this moment.
Qin Jin-nian sighed… It was true, as an observer, he could still remain rational. But as Ningning’s mother, how could Lin Yun control her emotions?
If she could really control it, then it could only mean one thing… Ningning was not that important in her heart.
After all, this heart is not controlled by people…
Qin Jin-nian could only sigh softly, gently patted her shoulder, and let her cry.
It’s good to vent appropriately, after crying, the pent-up feeling in the heart will dissipate a little.
After a while, Lin Yun slowly stopped sobbing. She wiped her tears, stood up, her expression was even more haggard, but she still seriously asked Qin Jin-nian: “Xiao Nian, then now, what can I help with?”
◈◈◈
In fact, Qin Jin-nian already had some ideas about how to rescue Ningning… The conversation with Liu Zhou the night before was not in vain.
From the mouths of the two, he knew a lot of information about the black market, the extraordinary world, the Night Watch, and the Evil Church.
This immediately gave Qin Jin-nian an idea.
But he had an idea anyway… From the beginning, he didn’t plan to solve this problem himself. It was just because of the lack of specific information that he had no way to start.
Now that the information problem has been solved, the idea has also become clear.
This time, he was ready to act when he came back.
But he didn’t plan to tell Lin Yun about these things, nor did he need her to participate.
“What you need to do now is to relax your mind, and then have a good rest… It’s still that sentence, don’t wait until Ningning is found, but you yourself collapse.”
Qin Jin-nian said with a deliberate smile.
Lin Yun’s expression became anxious, and she wanted to say something, but Qin Jin-nian had already waved his hand and interrupted her: “Sister Yun, since you believe me, then believe me to the end… I will do my best to bring Ningning back safely, okay?”
Lin Yun’s expression stagnated, and after a long time, she bit her lip and lowered her head: “I, I know…”
Qin Jin-nian patted her shoulder again, said a few words, and instructed her to eat first, and then sleep after eating… and then talk after she woke up.
Lin Yun finally nodded in agreement reluctantly.
But whether she would sleep…
Only she herself knew.
After leaving Lin Yun’s house, Qin Jin-nian, who had returned home, washed up and exhaled lightly.
He looked at the time, it was already ten o’clock in the morning…
But his mental strength was now over a hundred, and he didn’t feel tired at all after a sleepless night.
Then, he began to think about the specific actions for the next step… The Headmaster had been missing for a day, and it wasn’t a big problem for a day, and it was glossed over.
But if the Headmaster didn’t show up for a long time, it was very likely to attract the attention of the Church of the End. After all, she could be said to be the first contributor in Ningning’s matter… The more the Church of the End paid attention to Ningning, the more they would pay attention to her.
Therefore, the matter of rescuing Ningning should be done sooner rather than later.
Otherwise, if the Church of the End noticed something was wrong, it would be very troublesome once they moved her…
From the mouths of Liu Zhou, he knew that the Night Watch had always been zero tolerance for the Evil Church.
But the Evil Church was very good at hiding and escaping. The Night Watch had organized many extermination operations, but the effect was not significant… These Evil Churches were still acting in secret.
This time…
Qin Jin-nian’s fingers tapped lightly on the bedside table, making a ‘dododo’ sound, his expression thoughtful.
The plan in his mind gradually improved, and finally, he went through it twice in his mind, and after confirming that there should be no major omissions, he exhaled lightly, and then got up and went out.
Since there was a plan, it should be done sooner rather than later.
