This was the first real family reunion in five years for the Duan family.

Luo Qingyuan's foot was still in a cast, so Duan Ye helped her sit down at the table.

Duan Jiancheng asked Luo Qingyuan about her injuries with a smile, while Duan Sheng and Ding Yifen were also incredibly enthusiastic towards her.

This made Luo Qingyuan a little embarrassed, after all, she had been gone for five years, and she thought they would all blame her.

The meal ended abruptly and amicably.

living room.

Duan Ye handed all the notes and photos to Liang Mo: "I haven't finished reading these yet, and I don't know if there's any evidence."

Liang Mo accepted it: "I understand. I'll screen it first, and then return it to its rightful owner once the case is completely closed."

Liang Mo took the old drawer and left with his men.

Now that we have a direction, the scope of our investigation will be much broader.

Nanxing is definitely busy destroying evidence, so they need to hurry too.

Liang Mo has already sent people to the hometown of the homeowner across the street. They must find out who is controlling the surveillance camera. As long as they have solid evidence, they can get a search warrant, which will allow them to summon Nan Xing and obtain more useful information.

Liang Mo wasn't idle either. After the Jiang family fell from grace, their house was put up for auction. However, since everyone in the same circle felt that the Jiang family's land was too unlucky, it remained unsold for many years.

As it turned out, Liang Mo's guess was correct, because Nan Xing hadn't been going back to the Nan family home for the past few days and had been busy cleaning the secret room in his villa every day.

After explaining Ye Nuan's situation, Luo Qingyuan looked at Duan Ye: "You must have stayed up all night, right? Why don't you go get some sleep first? We won't be able to find anything out in a short time."

Duan Ye glanced at the time; it was already 1:30 PM.

"I remember the kids get out of school at four o'clock, right?"

Luo Qingyuan was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Well, it's okay, I can have my mom pick me up."

Duan Ye rubbed his head, which was throbbing painfully: "I promised, I can't break my promise."

Luo Qingyuan smiled and said, "Then go upstairs and take a nap. I'll wake you up at 3:30."

Duan Ye glanced at her, still conflicted.

Luo Qingyuan said, "Go quickly."

"Then you should have called me earlier..." After saying that, Duan Ye glanced at Luo Qingyuan's legs again.

"Never mind, I'll set an alarm. I'll take you to your room to rest for a while."

Luo Qingyuan shook her head: "I'll just sit here for a while."

Duan Ye glanced at Luo Qingyuan's seemingly gentle yet distant words, and felt somewhat saddened.

He knew that Luo Qingyuan simply didn't want to go back to her room with him, which was why she preferred to sit in the living room rather than go back to her room to rest.

Duan Ye's voice was a little hoarse: "The guest room on the first floor has never been occupied in the past few years. You can stay there for the time being."

Luo Qingyuan paused for two seconds before nodding, "Okay."

So, Duan Ye escorted Luo Qingyuan back to the guest room before returning to his own room. It was only then that Luo Qingyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She really hadn't figured out how to share a room with Duan Ye.

The guest room was very clean and cozy, with a dressing table, a bed, and a small wardrobe. Luo Qingyuan didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that it had just been cleaned recently.

After clearing her mind of all those chaotic thoughts, Luo Qingyuan finally managed to doze off for a short while.

Meanwhile, Liang Mo and his staff were slowly sifting through the small slips of paper. Although the process was slow, it was very efficient.

Meanwhile, Mr. Duan's men arrived at the police station and reopened the investigation into Zhang Shufen's case.

Soon, it was around three o'clock in the afternoon. Luo Qingyuan came out of the room by herself, leaning on her cane. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Duan Ye, who was just about to knock.

Duan Ye only dozed off for a short while, took a shower, changed into a clean set of clothes, and went downstairs.

Luo Qingyuan looked at his brand-new suit and his body, which was much stronger than before, and was slightly taken aback. She asked, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

Duan Ye naturally helped her up: "Didn't you rest for a little longer either?"

Luo Qingyuan smiled slightly: "Shall we go pick up the children together?"

Duan Ye smiled and said, "Okay."

And so, the two went downstairs.

At this moment, Duan Sheng and Ding Yifen came out of the kitchen.

Duan Sheng: "Do you think there's any possibility of these two getting back together?"

Ding Yifen also expressed her concern: "Doesn't that depend on how far the case progresses?"

Duan Sheng also sighed and didn't say anything more.

Ding Yifen glanced at Duan Sheng and asked, "Do you really think Nanxing did it?"

Duan Sheng was unusually silent for a while before saying, "If that's really the case, let's move out of this house too."

Ding Yifen's eyes widened immediately: "Then what about the houses here?"

Duan Sheng: "Sold."

“Let’s buy another small place near your school. It will be more convenient for you to go to work. In short, both of our sons have their own homes. As long as the two of us can live there, it will be fine.”

Ding Yifen felt a pang of sadness; they had lived here for decades...

But no matter how unpleasant it felt, Ding Yifen knew that Duan Sheng was right.

"But wouldn't that mean it's far from your workplace?"

Duan Sheng: "It's not far, just an extra twenty minutes. I can squeeze onto the subway during rush hour. Besides, I have a car at home."

Ding Yifen: "Thank you for your hard work, old man."

Duan Sheng smiled and put his arm around her: "It's not hard. As long as our family is together and safe and sound, that's more important than anything else."

Ding Yifen nodded silently in Duan Sheng's arms.

The entrance to Kyoto's best kindergarten.

This was Duan Ye's first time standing here. There were already quite a few parents around, all eagerly awaiting the arrival of their children.

Because of her foot injury, Luo Qingyuan was unable to walk, so she stayed in the car for the time being.

Kindergarten ended soon.

Duan Ye looked intently at the two children, but before he could get a clear look at the group of kids, he heard Luo Luo and Chen Chen's excited voices: "Daddy!"

Duan Ye looked to his right and saw the two of them running towards him with their little schoolbags on their backs and their eyes sparkling.

From yesterday until now, Duan Ye had felt the weight of life weighing him down, making it almost unbearable. But at this moment, he smiled from the bottom of his heart, squatted down, and hugged the two children tightly in his arms.

Many people around them turned their attention to them, mainly because the family of three was simply too dazzling; both the eldest and the youngest were exceptionally good-looking.

The child looked like a Barbie doll, and the father was very young and handsome, making the mothers around them stare in disbelief and ask, "Whose child is this? He looks so young..."

"I don't know, they look very expensive, and the child is incredibly beautiful..."

Duan Ye smiled and patted their heads, then took the two children's schoolbags from them.

"Have you missed your dad?"

The two children nodded obediently, took his hands on either side, and said in unison, "Yes!"
