Chapter 53 A Request 20 Years Later: Immersive Soul Experience
The anti-drug squad members, who were planning the operation in the early morning, frowned instinctively when Liu Qingtan suddenly barged in and spoke loudly.

But seeing his anxious expression and hearing the content of his words, everyone stood up abruptly.

Captain Xiao, in particular, went straight up to Liu Qingtan.

"You just said that Gardenia Blossom sent an email, is that Gardenia Blossom?"

"Correct."

"Take me to see that email immediately." After confirming that it was Gardenia Blossom, Captain Xiao said without hesitation.

The others immediately followed behind him.

When gardenias bloom, they might not have recognized them, known about them, or paid them any attention before.

But that airport incident was a huge sensation, making Gardenia famous throughout the country and even spreading abroad.

They also have something others don't know: the Jingcheng Medical Research Base, and Gardenia Blossom seems to be involved as well, though this is currently under wraps.

They didn't know what it was, but the government issued an order. Although it didn't explicitly acknowledge that Gardenia Blossom was a real time traveler from the future, it said that any event involving Gardenia Blossom must be taken seriously and reported.

The meaning behind this order was clear to everyone, even without it being spoken.

Captain Xiao and his team were surprised to receive Gardenia's email so quickly.

The arrival of Captain Xiao and his team also attracted the attention of the authorities. All the necessary people from their own ranks came and, without prior arrangement, looked at the email.

After reading it, everyone fell silent for a moment.

Then Captain Xiao spoke up, "This is obviously an email reminding us. We never expected that Fan Meimei would have a younger brother named Fan Zhengtu, and we didn't even find out."

If they hadn't seen it now, they would have let this slip through the net.

Even though Fan Meimei has been arrested, there are still some who have escaped the net. Who knows what crazy things these escaped people might do?

In particular, Fan Zhengtu is Fan Meimei's younger brother.

"It seems we need to send more people to this place to arrest Fan Zhengtu as well. Also, it was mentioned here that there is 10 billion yuan in cash in the basement of the villa, we need to find that as well."

10 billion! Behind that, who knows how much blood was stained, how many broken families were hidden.

The leader nodded. "Let Qingtan lead the team to Fan Zhengtu's side, splitting them into two groups. You guys go to the dock."

"However, you'll need to send more people. I'll request more bulletproof vests from my superiors, and try to get one for each person."

Bulletproof vests are very precious; their police station only has a handful. But now that Gardenia is emphasizing that everyone wear bulletproof vests, it means that perhaps in the past Gardenia saw, some of their colleagues who didn't wear bulletproof vests may have sacrificed their lives.

Now that we know, we absolutely cannot let this happen.

Without delay, the leader immediately used the email about blooming gardenias as a pretext to apply for bulletproof vests from his superiors.

Perhaps it's because the name "Gardenia Blossom" is so effective that the bulletproof vest application that had been unsuccessful before was approved immediately, and it will be approved very soon.

The initially tense and apprehensive atmosphere dissipated as Gardenia's email notification and their preparations became more thorough. They were now excited and confident, simply waiting for the opportune moment to split into two groups and capture the person.

Meanwhile, Song Zhining was looking at the second commission of the night.

【时间：2038年1月12日，10点56分-农学高速发展的平行时空】

Client: Jiang Ling

[Request Details: At 7:23 AM on November 23, 2018, Jiang Xiao, the older brother, wanted his dying grandmother to have a hot bun. For the first and only time, he attempted robbery. In his panic, he pushed Professor Yu, a man in his fifties, to the ground. Little did he know that this push would lead to such a tragedy… Please, save Professor Yu, and save my brother!]

It turned out to be a request from 20 years in the future.

After reviewing the contents of the commission, Song Zhining went to look at the detailed commission list.

After reading it, Song Zhining was deeply moved and could not calm down for a long time.

She seemed to be able to feel, across time and space, the heart-wrenching words Jiang Ling uttered as she wrote this request, and the bitter lamentation of fate. Song Zhining accepted the job almost without hesitation.

Then a question popped up on the page.

[Should we enable the client-side immersive experience?]

Song Zhining hesitated for a moment, then chose yes.

Almost the instant she finished clicking, Song Zhi Ning felt a wave of fatigue wash over her, and her eyelids felt heavy.

Song Zhining quickly lay down on the nearest sofa.

Almost the instant she lay down, Song Zhi Ning closed her eyes. Then she felt as if her soul had been instantly pulled out of her body and was flying rapidly toward the starry sky, or rather, one end of the universe.

At that moment, Song Zhining's soul had a strange feeling about the passage of time.

It's amazing, it inspires awe, and even a little fear.
Fortunately, it seemed to disappear in just a few seconds.

Her soul stood still.

She noticed a bright and beautiful young woman in her early twenties wearing a black coat standing next to her.

Song Zhining wondered, "Is this the client, Jiang Ling?"

She followed Jiang Ling's gaze and found that there seemed to be a mountain, and where Jiang Ling's gaze was directed were two simple grave mounds.

Jiang Ling slowly knelt down, her eyes reddening. "Grandma, Lingling has come to see you."

"How are you and your brother doing in the other world?"

"Have you already let go of it?"

A gentle breeze blew by, but no one answered Jiang Ling's question.

Have they come to terms with it? Probably not yet. Just like even after twenty years, everyone in Suyan City, and the higher-ups, haven't come to terms with it, have they?

Otherwise, Suzhou Salt City would have developed long ago, instead of remaining stagnant as it is now.

And that Professor Yu, how utterly innocent he is.

Jiang Ling looked at another grave mound, which was much smaller than the other one, and she could even see signs of it being vandalized.

Tears streamed down her face.

"A rope always breaks at its thinnest point, and misfortune always finds those who are unfortunate."

“Brother, tell me, why is your fate so bitter? It seems that from the moment you were born, God never intended to give you a way to live.”

"You tried so hard, you struggled so much to live, trying to find a way to survive, but in the end you were forced to strangle yourself."

Jiang Ling wept bitterly, sobbing uncontrollably, each sob a tear of blood, "Brother, you said if we could go back to the past, if someone could give you a way out, wouldn't everything be different?"

Jiang Ling burned paper money.

The burning paper money was swept up by the wind, and through her teary eyes, Jiang Ling seemed to see the past through these ashes.

Song Zhining, who was standing nearby, seemed to have seen it as well.

More than 20 years ago, there was a boy named Jiang Xiao. His father was a petty hoodlum and his mother was a delinquent. They were unmarried and living together.

The pregnancy was unexpected.

Especially since the child was born with a limp, he was thrown into a trash can in the dead of winter.

The stench of garbage and the heavy snowfall nearly froze him to death.
