Jacen's eyes were a little dim. "My grandma has been taken care of by herself these days because of
grandpa's illness, and her health has also become worse."
Jacen looked at me and said in a low voice, "They are in this hospital now. I know you don't want to see
them, but if you are willing to go, they will be very happy."
When recalling that our grandma once came to me and asked for money, I really thought the so called
"happiness" in Jacen's words sounded more ironic.
"I can graduate in half a year. Leaders from the police bureau gave me a position because I did a good
job in my study. Of course, they also took our father's relationship into account."
"Try your best to do some logistics work. Don't be like Xeon, and don't be like the one lying in the ward
now."
Jacen was surprised and happy to see that I showed my concern to him. He nodded and comforted
me, "I majored in criminal psychology. I mainly do some analysis, so I will not be in danger."
In fact, I didn't know much about their work, and I didn't want to show too much concern for him. I just
nodded.
I pointed at the door behind him and said, "If you are free now, you'd better go back to help your
grandmother take care of your grandfather. I want to have a talk with Vann."
Jacen looked at me reluctantly, but he understood that I wanted him to leave. After hesitating for a
while, he nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll go first."
After taking a few steps, Jacen looked back at me. After a few steps, he again turned his head to look
at me. "Sister, can we meet again in the future?"
His eyes were full of expectation. I could even imagine how happy he would be when I nodded.
But I still tried to hold back my concern for him. I turned my head silently and didn't look at him
anymore. "I am not sure about that."
As I said this, I pushed the door open and entered the ward. I tried not to think about how Jacen felt at
the moment, because I was not feeling well either.
"That's it."
When I entered the room, I heard Vann and Rogelio talking. Sitting at the head of the bed, Rogelio
looked at me with more sympathy than before.
Rogelio patted the seat beside him, and Xenia was sitting opposite us.
I sat down next to Rogelio. Looking at me, Vann sighed with emotion, "Jacen is a good boy. The
mistakes of the older generation have nothing to do with him. To be honest, you can deny others to be
your relatives, but you should recognize him as your brother. You'd better let go of the miserable past."
Rogelio said, "It's up to Rogelio to make the decision herself. As outsiders, we should respect her
choice. We are not her. No one can really understand her feelings. I think she needs time to let go of
the past."
Hearing this, Vann stopped persuading me and changed the topic, Thank you for what you did
yesterday."
"You helped me before. So you don't have to show thanks to me."
I looked at the wound on Vann's head and asked, "How's it going? Do you feel better?"
Vann still looked relaxed. "It doesn't matter."
Xenia said with a scornful look, "You are a policeman, aren't you? But you didn't even have the ability
to fight back after being beaten by several people. Even Kim could beat ten people at one time."
Vann explained, "It's not that I can't defeat them, but that I can't fight back. If I fight back, the people
lying in the hospital today will be them."
Xenia sneered, "Stop bragging, okay? It's useless to brag after you were beaten by them. If you really
have that ability, you shall prove it by letting them lie in the hospital now."
"Unless I really don't want to go back."
As soon as he finished his words, Xenia's face darkened.
"What do you mean? Do you still want to be a dog for Frank?"
"What? Don't say that, okay? I am not a dog!" Vann retorted.
Regardless of our presence, Xenia pointed at the two legs of Vann and warned, "Listen to me, Vann, if
you dare to go back, I will break both of your two legs. Believe it or not."
Vann rolled his eyes at Xenia and said, "No girl is as fierce as you."
"Then let's have a try. I will prove to you that I am really a fierce girl."
Xenia stood up and looked around, as if she was looking for a tool to break Vann's legs.
I asked Vann, "I know I shouldn't ask you if you are carrying out any task or not. Even if we ask, you
may not tell me. After all, if you are really carrying out a task, it must be a top secret that you must hide
from anyone else. But for the sake of your safety, we don't allow you to go back. Both Rogelio and I
think the whole thing is not that simple this time. Perhaps your identity has been suspected by them."
Vann frowned slightly. He fell into silent. Judging from his expression, I felt that he was actually worried
about this.
"I don't think it's worth taking risks. If your identity is really doubted, you will not get what you want, and
I'm afraid your life will be in danger. What happened today is just a beginning, and since he can hurt so
badly, I'm afraid that Frank is not really ready to put you in an important position."
When I spoke out my thoughts, Vann frowned with a more serious look.
"If you are on a mission, I don't think your identity is suitable. You have been working in this city all the
time. It's hard to guarantee that no one can recognize you. Moreover, last night, you met with Jasmine
and Xenia. If they investigate you from the two of them, they will expose your true identity sooner or
later. My suggestion is that you should report this problem to your superior and see if they can change
another person to replace you or change the method."
Vann pressed his lips nervously and tried his best to defend himself, "You've watched a lot of TV
dramas. I'm not a spy. I'm really..."
Rogelio directly interrupted him and said, "We are not interested in knowing your job, and we won't tell
anyone else. You don't need to explain to us. Don't forget that you have a mother and you need
someone to take care of her in the future."
Vann couldn't help but raise his hand to scratch his head, but he forgot that there was a wound on his
head. When he touched the wound, he closed his eyes in pain.
Rogelio stood up and said to me, "Whether Vann will be with Frank or not is not settled yet. We'd better
not show up here, in case the whole thing becomes more uncontrollable."
I thought what he said was reasonable, so I stood up with him.
Rogelio warned Vann again, "But now it seems that whether this matter is discovered or not, it is still
very tricky. You must have a good solution to it."
