In fact, they didn't have to look for Benson's other two comrades.
If they found Michael Xie, he would prove that Shawn had revealed the state secrets, therefore Benson and Bun would be free from any charges.
It was disgraceful to frame a child for revealing state secrets. Bun was just a little girl at that time.
"No. I want to go with you. I'm worried about it." Linda shook her head and disagreed.
She was indeed very worried. Their wedding was about to be held tomorrow, but Bun was taken away today. She was distressed about the whole matter.
"Linda, you should stay here. You are pregnant. If you get into any trouble, Charles will definitely hold me responsible. Bun would also not want you to risk it, " said Brian.
Linda pondered for a while and nodded. She was pregnant, and she might bring trouble to them if she also went with them.
"Okay. You should go there now. Be quick. I have a feeling that something bad might happen again."
Her sixth sense was always right.
Linda felt that Michael was still alive, but not for long...
She hoped that what she had imagined would not happen.
After Linda finished her words, Charles, Brian, and Paul got into a car and drove towards JSZJ City.
JSZJ City was not far away from SH City. If they drove at a high speed, it would only take them one hour to get there. They all hoped that they could get there and find that person in time.
After they had left, Linda asked people to tell Anna to come back from the hospital.
Since Bun could take care of Linda, Anna went back to work at the Mu clan's private hospital. But now, Linda was in great need of Anna.
Before Anna came back, Linda had told her what had happened today over the phone. Anna became very anxious as well. She rushed to Linda's house after she received Linda's phone call.
Lord Xia had heard their conversation about what had happened today, but he didn't give his opinion about it.
After Charles left, Lord Xia told Linda, "Linda, ask people to look into this matter. Check where those three comrade died and what the sniper rifle's bullet serial number are."
"Father, what does knowing that have to do with anything?
Even if we do get this information, we still won't be able to figure out who killed them."
"Once we know the sniper rifle's bullet serial number, I can help you ask others for help in finding out who killed them. After all, there are only a few people who own sniper rifles in our country."
Linda pondered for a moment and realized that her father's words made sense. Except for the soldiers and the police, it was illegal for citizens to own guns.
"I heard what you were talking about just now. Based on my experience, Sarah would not do such sort of thing. It has been a long time since that matter happened. Except for the people of the older generation, no one would investigate it, and those who would investigate the matter would not tell Sarah."
Again, Linda thought that what Lord Xia said was probably true.
She wanted to meet and have a talk with Sarah.
Linda once studied psychology, so she could judge whether Sarah was telling a lie or not by observing her nonverbal actions.
She didn't go to the Shen clan to look for Sarah because she would draw a lot of attention this way. She invited Sarah out by sending her an anonymous message.
It was so easy to get Sarah's phone number.
Sarah hesitated for a while after she had received the message.
Linda sent her the message putting Brian's name at the end of it. The message read, "Do you want to know what had happened that year? If you want to know about it, come to Room 3301 of the Central Lake Restaurant."
"Did they take her away because of that?" asked Sarah.
Linda already knew that Sarah was referring to the fact that Bun was a traitor's daughter. Sarah had once used this fact to threaten Brian. She warned Brian that if he didn't marry her, she would reveal this secret, which would send Bun directly to prison.
"Yes."
"But I didn't do anything." Sarah shook her head.
"I know you didn't do it." Linda smiled.
"You do?"
Sarah was stunned by Linda's words. She concluded from Linda's previous question that Linda thought that she was the one who initiated such thing. But now, Linda was telling her that she knew that she didn't do it, so Sarah got confused.
"Yeah. Although your behavior at the Bureau of Civil Affairs made us think that you will keep holding onto your delusions, not giving up on Brian, I believe that you had already given up on him in your heart."
Sarah went silent, not knowing what to say.
"Sometimes, you only like things you don't have. You should ask yourself whether you really like Brian or whether you just want to have something that can never be yours."
Sarah said with a forced smile, "I don't want to give up so easily. Didn't you know? During those seven days when Brian was together with me, he treated me so well."
"Has it ever occurred to you that he treated every woman, who was as beautiful and charming as you, like he did to you?"
"He treats Bonny in a different way, though... I'm jealous of Bonny."
Somehow, Sarah felt that Linda wasn't annoying. She even went as far as to share her thoughts with her.
