Political Commissar Xia is Shen Changchuan's close partner at work, and any conflict between them would greatly affect their work.

So the first thing Song Yan did when he got home was to call Shen Changchuan. He rushed back immediately to ask what had happened.

Although Song Yan didn't suffer any loss, Shen Changchuan was genuinely angry.

Song Yan didn't want to escalate the conflict, so he asked Political Commissar Xia to help find the child.

It's not enough for Political Commissar Xia to just apologize and call it a day.

Consider it compensation.

Old Zeng agreed with Song Yan's plan, but he also made a phone call. He didn't expect Xia Mingjiu's matter to be recorded in his file, but he would be dealt with for three months.

With Zeng's status, Political Commissar Xia wouldn't say anything; three months is really nothing.

Song Yan looked back at Shen Changchuan's house. Now, his third aunt often goes to visit Yueyue's grandfather. Although each time it's not just the two of them alone, Yueyue is always with him, or her godfather is present.

I wonder if I'm overthinking this.

Song Yan definitely wouldn't object.

What about Yueyue's father and Shen Ruomei?

Shen Changchuan had fought his way through countless battles, and his iron-blooded temperament was truly admirable. Yet, beneath his toughness lay a touch of refinement.

Moreover, judging from his appearance, he must have been a handsome young man when he was young, and now, with the added experience of time, he is like a fine old wine.

Song Yan must admit that he is an outstanding person both internally and externally.

My third aunt is a bit of an artsy type, so it wouldn't be surprising if she fell for him. Besides, she's also a beautiful and intelligent person.

Age is not a big problem; they are a good match based on their individual circumstances.

...

Only Shen Changchuan and Lao Zeng know what happened today. Song Yan told Di Minxia not to tell anyone when she got home.

When Aunt Wei saw Song Yan staring blankly, she guessed what she was thinking.

She called Song Yan into her room and told him that she had also noticed that her third aunt and Shen Changchuan had been getting along very well lately. Moreover, she felt that the two were a good match.

Shen Changchuan is definitely much older, but that doesn't matter, right?

Aunt Wei told Song Yan not to get involved in this matter, and that she would handle it herself.

Aunt Wei was afraid that her son and Shen Ruomei would blame Song Yan for feeling uncomfortable.

...

Seeing that her husband was truly angry, Political Commissar Xia's wife had no choice but to back down. Her primary goal was still to get her husband to deliver their son as soon as possible.

As a result, Li Hao only returned very late.

Li Hao had just finished finding out the details and made arrangements for finding the child. However, he also brought another piece of news.

Someone put in a good word with the police to detain Xia Mingjiu for three months. They didn't reveal who made the move, but they definitely won't release him unless Political Commissar Xia intervenes.

Political Commissar Xia knew that this matter was definitely not handled by Commander Shen. If he wanted to do it, he would have just said so directly.

If he tries to pull these dirty tricks halfway through, the two of them won't be able to work together anymore.

He guessed who was speaking, and gave a wry smile. He'd just have to put up with these three months.

His wife couldn't bear to see her son suffer, and she was so worried that she didn't sleep all night. She made up her mind: people are afraid to face each other.

It wouldn't be difficult for her to find out where Song Yan lives.

Once Political Commissar Xia left, she got to work.

When Song Yan returned home from get off work at noon, he heard about something.

Political Commissar Xia's wife arrived at his door, weeping and bringing expensive gifts, saying that her son was too young to understand, etc. She especially emphasized that this matter should not cause any awkwardness between Commander Shen and Political Commissar Xia at work.

Aunt Wei didn't know about this at first; it took her a while to understand.

She's seen more of the world now and knows that people in public often speak with ulterior motives.

Brother Zeng must know about this, and Commander Shen should know as well.

Oh right, Di Minxia knows too; she went with them yesterday.

Aunt Wei called Di Minxia over and asked her to tell her exactly what happened yesterday.

When Aunt Wei heard this, she was furious. Even in today's society, only Song Yan has the ability.

Otherwise, wouldn't Song Yan be forced to his death?

Your son bullied my family, and now that he's stopped, you're still crying and acting all wronged! Pah! Where's your face?!

Aunt Wei kicked Commissar Xia's wife out immediately, throwing away everything she had brought.

When Brother Zeng returned, Aunt Wei launched into another serious complaint. This was outrageous! He bullied her son, Xiao Yan, and after being punished, he complained and even came to her door! As for work-related matters, did Aunt Wei think they concerned her?

Yueyue's grandfather is a military commander, and her maternal grandfather is a senior figure. Even so, Xiaoyan is still bullied.

Aunt Wei cried as she spoke, and when Old Zeng saw how upset his sister was, he made another phone call and suggested changing it to five months.

When Political Commissar Xia learned about this, he submitted the divorce report.

Song Yan later heard that Political Commissar Xia and his wife were also having a serious argument. Song Yan didn't care about that; what she cared about was that five days had passed and there was still no news of Yin Chao.

How could a child that big just disappear into thin air?

His biological father's side of the investigation didn't find anything.

Yin Chunmei has become extremely thin in just five days. If she can't find her child, she's finished.

Wen Dajun's lips were covered in blisters.

Three more days passed, and there was still no news. Song Yan was worried about Yin Chunmei, so he went to see her.

She's lost even more weight.

Song Yan: "This isn't a solution. If you don't take care of your health, will Yin Chao still have a mother in the future?"

“Yin Chao has such a hard life. I’m so sorry to him, so sorry to him!” Yin Chunmei said, tears streaming down her face.

"Yin Chao will be fine, and you should wait patiently for her to come back!" Song Yan comforted Yin Chunmei.

Yin Chunmei shook her head, "There are some things the police didn't say out loud, but I can guess a little about them."

A child this age already remembers his home; no one can kidnap him. Since no one is demanding money, he hasn't been kidnapped.

He was definitely murdered! Murdered!

I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!

“Don’t overthink it. You’re a good mother. You love him very much, and you haven’t done anything wrong to him,” Song Yan said.

"You don't know, you don't know what happened! I really let him down!"

It's all my face's fault!

"It's all my fault for being shameless. I didn't even know who his father was," Yin Chunmei said, crying as she spoke.

Song Yan was a little dumbfounded, "How could you not know who Yin Chao's father is?"

"I don't know, I don't know!" Having kept this bottled up for years, Yin Chunmei couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to speak out.

“My periods have never been regular. When I found out I was pregnant, I wanted to abort the child. I couldn’t give birth to that beast’s child. But…” Yin Chunmei’s eyes were filled with confusion as she said this.

"But maybe the child isn't that beast's..."
