Chapter 16: Worst Case, Make a Comeback

Here, Wen Chi has already imagined a miserable life of being arrested and imprisoned, being alienated by his family, and having no one to wait for him after being released from prison many years later;

Over there, the two experts were dealing with the orchid urgently, contacting the institute to send someone over, and reporting the situation to their superiors... They were so busy that no one dared to disturb them.

Seeing that the experts were unable to spare any time for the time being, police officer Tan Yong was unwilling to sit idle either.

Perhaps Wen Chi's question aroused his suspicion, and Tan Yong walked up to Jian Lin.

"It seems that experts have confirmed that this is an extinct rare plant. Can I ask where these orchids come from?"

Don’t be fooled by Tan Yong’s friendly attitude, as if he was just asking casually.

But Jian Lin did not dare to relax at all and answered very cautiously:

"We don't really know."

It was the truth, but Tan Yong didn't believe it.

He smiled but said nothing, but he was actually thinking about how to investigate this matter...

"It's me!"

Tan Yong lowered his head and saw a pretty and cute little face in his field of vision.

Her skin was as white as the first handful of snow in winter, her big eyes were dark and charming, and she was very charming.

Tan Yong has a four-year-old son at home. He has long been regretting that he could not have a daughter. Seeing Sui Sui tilting her little head, his heart almost melted.

The awe-inspiring aura around him suddenly faded a lot, and he squatted down in front of Sui Sui:

"Little boy, what's your name?"

"Years."

"So your name is Sui Sui, what a nice name."

Tan Yong praised from the bottom of his heart.

However, he did not forget his mission. He thought that the little cub might be a good breakthrough, so he thought about how to get closer to Sui Sui and guide her to tell him what she knew.

Then, I saw Sui Sui eagerly asking for credit:

"I dug the grass!"

That proud little guy would have wanted to have the words "This is my achievement" written on his head!

Tan Yong was stunned: "You, you dug it?"

Jian Lin was also shocked.

——When Wen Chi took out the grass from his bag yesterday, he didn’t turn on the live broadcast, so even Jian Lin didn’t know.

"Yes! Only I, Suisui, can find this mountain!"

She also gave this herb to a destined person to drink, and it helped heal his feet!

She is really amazing!

Unfortunately, no matter how powerful the little ginseng spirit is, in the eyes of everyone, it is just a weak cub of about three years old.

Tan Yong had just heard from an expert that no trace of Baili Chunlan had ever been found in Chunshan. If there was any place where she might be, it would be in the deep mountains where ordinary people couldn't set foot! A forbidden zone for life and death!

That's a place where even experienced wilderness survival experts might not be able to survive. How could a three-year-old cub go there?

Tan Yong already suspected that someone had instigated the little kid to say these words, with the intention of letting an ignorant child take the blame... Their intentions were simply despicable!

Seeing this, Jian Lin thought to himself that he was in trouble. Just as he was about to make a few excuses, Sui Sui became unhappy.

"You don't believe me!"

Her little face puffs up every year.

Tan Yong quickly gave a perfunctory smile.

"How could I not believe it? Uncle believes in you, you are amazing!"

How could such insincere praise be hidden from Sui Sui?

Suisui was so anxious that she was jumping up and down, not understanding why no one believed what she said.

"She really brought it."

At this time someone stood up.

It is Wenchi.

His expression was complicated and difficult to read, and he looked at Sui Sui deeply.

Then, facing the surprised gazes of Tan Yong and Jian Lin, he told them everything about how he discovered the "grass" yesterday, including the part where Sui Sui squeezed half of the orchid grass into juice for him to drink.

At the end, he added: "If you don't believe it, you can check the shooting footage. Although the live broadcast was turned off yesterday, the camera should not have been turned off."

When Wen Chi said these words, he was completely in the mood to surrender himself, and his voice was suppressed and low.

Every year is different. Her hair is almost standing up to the sky. She crosses her arms proudly and blinks:

Look, look! Just say it's her!

——The two people’s moods are in stark contrast!

Tan Yong and Jian Lin also felt mixed emotions.

Tan Yong: "...Can I watch the video?"

Jian Lin: "...Of course."

Then silence fell again.

Tan Yong suddenly had an idea and remembered the strangeness of these people:

"By the way, you misunderstood our intentions before. That means..."

Seeing that things had come to this, Jian Lin simply told everything about Sui Sui.

Tan Yong nodded repeatedly after hearing this:

"So, you don't know the child's identity or home address?"

"yes."

Tan Yong thought about it and shifted his suspicion to Suisui's mysterious family.

What if Sui Sui's family were the ones who stole the rare plants from Chunshan Mountain? They had found the Baili Chunlan in the deep mountains, but Sui Sui hadn't known about it and accidentally brought it out...

Regardless of whether this is the case or not, the most urgent thing right now is to find out Sui Sui’s identity first!

As the team leader, Tan Yong began to assign tasks to his subordinates.

Confirm the video, investigate Sui Sui's identity, and take a statement on the spot...

Needless to say, Jian Lin asked everyone to fully cooperate with the police investigation.

During the process, a staff member leaned over to Jian Lin's ear and said something. Her face changed slightly and she hurried out.

Wen Chi also made a temporary note. When he stood up and looked back, he saw Xia Kai looking at him with tears in his eyes.

A muscular man looked at him with tears in his eyes.

Wen Chi didn't feel moved, he just felt goosebumps all over his body.

Xia Kai: "When you said thank you for the past two years, is this what you meant?"

Wen Chi pressed his temple: "Not really."

Xia Kai: "You just surrendered yourself like that. Have you ever thought about me, the people who support you, and your fans?"

Wen Chi's focus shifted: "I still have fans?"

“It doesn’t matter!”

Xia Kai held his head and thought painfully for a long time, and suddenly said:

"If we surrender ourselves, will we get a lighter sentence?"

"Will...right?"

"Don't worry! I'll hire the best lawyer for you!"

"You have money?"

"No! But, even if I have to sleep on the floor in my boss' office overnight, I will ask them to hire the most expensive lawyer for you! Let's try to get a suspended sentence!"

Wen Chi almost laughed.

He is really sick to be able to laugh in this situation.

"Okay, I'm not going to fall to this level just to hire a lawyer. I have money."

Xia Kai didn't believe it at all. His first reaction was: "You want to sell the house?"

Wen Chi didn't know why his thoughts jumped to this.

"I……"

Before he could finish his words, Xia Kai had already started to cry.

"Why sell the house?! The company will pay for the legal fees! This is the contract!"

"but……"

"That's a shit company! Don't you think about how much money you made for them?"

“…”

"Don't be afraid. Even if you can't get a suspended sentence, Brother Xia will be waiting for you outside. At worst, we can make a comeback!"

Wen Chi suddenly felt that his life was not a complete failure.
