A New Dawn for the Whitlocks Chapter 37

Caleb Whitlock's truck stopped on a mountain road in the suburbs. Connor Whitlock and Caleb Whitlock got out of the car and hurried into a small clinic on the roadside. Lily Summers and Ethan Whitlock came out from the inner room. Lily Summers saw Connor Whitlock, called him "Dad", and threw herself into his arms and cried. Connor Whitlock patted her gently and said, "Daughter, don't cry. I heard that you didn't cry at the execution ground, didn't you?" Ethan Whitlock also advised, "Sister, don't cry." Connor Whitlock said, "Second brother, you should go back to the barracks as soon as possible. If you delay for too long, people will be suspicious."

An old doctor came in with a bag of medicine and said, "These are some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, take them with you." Caleb Whitlock took the medicine and said, "Thank you, thank you, old man!" Ethan Whitlock said, "Dad, where are you taking Sister Lily Summers?" Connor Whitlock said, "Don't worry about it, just go back to the barracks." Lily Summers said, "Dad, I'd better go back to Erlongshan!" Connor Whitlock said, "That won't work. You can't go anywhere this time. Let's hide in the mine for a while and go back to our own home at night." Lily Summers said, "Dad, you can't let your family get involved! The city must be searching for me everywhere!" Connor Whitlock said, "You have been a bandit for so many years, don't you even know the principle of darkness under the lamp? Even if the police know that you are the goddaughter of the Zhu family, they can't think that you can run home at this time." Caleb Whitlock said, "Sister Lily Summers, just listen to Dad!"

Ethan Whitlock left on his own. Lily Summers followed Connor Whitlock and Caleb Whitlock into the car. Caleb Whitlock handed her a man's coat and asked her to put it on. Connor Whitlock took out a pair of scissors and said, "My daughter, I'm sorry for wronging you." Lily Summers understood and smiled and said, "Dad is still thoughtful." She stretched her head over, and Connor Whitlock cut off Lily Summers's braids with a pair of scissors, and gave her a small hat like Caleb Whitlock usually wore.

The three of them returned home. In the restaurant, the guests were talking about all kinds of legends about the execution. Caleb Whitlock and Lily Summers went upstairs in a swagger. Connor Whitlock followed behind, and a guest stopped him and said, "Old shopkeeper, there is a lot of excitement in the city today." Connor Whitlock said, "What's the excitement?" The guest said, "Sanjianghong was kidnapped at the execution ground." Connor Whitlock said, "How could such a thing happen? Who is so bold?" The guest said, "Who else could it be? The people from Erlongshan." Another guest said, "Get out of here, someone saw it, it was a heavenly soldier. Old shopkeeper, just as the executioner raised his ghost-head knife, a flying horse fell from the sky, and the man on the horse bent down and carried Sanjianghong away on the horse. Just as the police were about to shoot, the flying horse flapped its wings and disappeared with a whoosh."

Connor Whitlock said with regret: "Ah, I missed such a wonderful scene! Enjoy your meal, I have guests upstairs." He went upstairs while greeting them. Aiden Whitlock chased him and said in a low voice: "Dad, why did you bring her back?" Connor Whitlock said: "Where else would you bring her back? You should keep your mouth shut and don't tell anyone." Aiden Whitlock said: "I know, I know." Connor Whitlock said: "You shouldn't have come up and greet guests as usual. Don't let anyone see it."
