"Is what you're saying true? I'll be fine after the surgery?" Mr. Liu's tone was no longer as resistant as before.

"Don't worry about it," Liu Geng said to his father with a smile.

"Mom, thank you for your hard work tonight. Please take good care of Dad. I'll come over early tomorrow morning. I've also taken several days off to focus on taking care of Dad," Liu Geng said to his mother.

"Don't worry, I'm here. Come early tomorrow, otherwise I'll feel a little uneasy." Liu's mother completely regarded her son as her pillar of support.

"I will definitely come as soon as possible." Liu Geng briefly explained the precautions before the surgery and then left.

On the way, Liu Geng recalled Chen Bangrui's subtle question earlier that day: why hadn't he been coming home for meals lately? Had he and Chen Yawen had a fight? Perhaps the young couple shouldn't be giving each other the silent treatment.

Liu Geng smiled apologetically and said he would go home for dinner tonight. At that moment, he had already set off for the Chen family.

After the New Year, Yue Mingyuan took the photo to the police station to find his old classmate, Officer Cheng.

Upon learning that Yue Mingyuan was going to see Officer Cheng, Yue Jiaoyang called Chen Niannian, and the three of them went to the police station together.

Upon arriving at the police station, only Officer Cheng was there. Yue Mingyuan had already contacted Officer Cheng, so Officer Cheng roughly knew the purpose of their visit.

"Old Cheng, I'm sorry to trouble you this time," Yue Mingyuan said to Officer Cheng.

"It's nothing serious. Since this person is suspected of a crime, finding him is our duty," Officer Cheng said with a smile, reassuring Yue Mingyuan.

"That's good, that's good. I was afraid of causing you trouble," Yue Mingyuan said with relief.

"Old Yue, you're still the same, always thinking of others," Officer Cheng said with a sigh.

"Sigh..." Yue Mingyuan smiled sheepishly.

"Yangyang has grown so much. When can we attend their wedding?" Officer Cheng glanced at Yue Jiaoyang and Chen Niannian and changed the subject.

"It'll be soon, soon, after Yangyang graduates." Yue Mingyuan's eyes lit up with joy when he saw the two children.

Yue Jiaoyang smiled slightly, while Chen Niannian stood awkwardly to the side.

"Then you must remember to invite me to your wedding banquet!" Officer Cheng said.

"You'll definitely get your share. I'll make sure to let you know, even if I don't tell anyone else," Yue Mingyuan assured him.

"Alright, let's get back to business and get down to business." Officer Cheng pulled out a chair and sat down at the computer.

At that time, due to the further improvement of the household registration system, departments such as police stations and banks were among the first to use computers.

With this, population surveys and various inquiries have become much more convenient. Through this increasingly comprehensive supplementary data entry, many fugitives can be caught. They can no longer simply disappear without a trace by changing their name or ID card, as they used to.

“This is the man. His name is Liu Baoshan. This is his photo. He is Wang Huadong’s accomplice. You know about the case Wang Huadong committed, right?” Yue Mingyuan said as he handed the photo to Officer Cheng.

Officer Cheng took the photo and started entering the name into the computer. As a result, a lot of information about Liu Baoshan popped up. After various filtering methods such as narrowing down the search scope, the results were displayed.

Ultimately, the target was a private entrepreneur in Handan City.

"Old Yue, look, this person's conditions best match the age you provided," Officer Cheng said.

"Can we see his photo?" The three of them gathered around the computer and found that it was just a simple personal profile with no photo.

"There are no photos yet, but wait a moment, I'll ask my colleagues over there." After saying that, Officer Cheng made a phone call.

"I asked my colleagues over there to help me find a photo of this person. If they do, they can fax me a copy," Officer Cheng explained to everyone upon his return.

"Thank you so much," Yue Mingyuan said gratefully.

"If you keep being so polite, I'll feel bad. If this person really does have a criminal record, I should be thanking you for letting me do a good deed," Officer Cheng joked.

As the two chatted, the fax machine rang, and a clear image of a person was sent through it.

Officer Cheng picked up the faxed photo from Handan City and compared it with the photo of Liu Baoshan in his hand.

Yue Mingyuan and his son, along with Chen Niannian, also gathered around. They saw that the face in the photo sent from the other side was none other than Liu Baoshan.

Liu Baoshan hasn't changed much since his youth, so he's still easily recognizable in photos.

"This is the person!" Chen Niannian said excitedly.

"How could this person be from Handan? Is there any more detailed information?" Yue Mingyuan was very puzzled, because he had always thought that Liu Baoshan should be a local, otherwise how could he know so accurately to go to Jinshi to find someone to murder Chen Bangxing?

"Okay, let me check." Officer Cheng returned to his computer and found the answer in no time.

"Old Yue, you've really hit the nail on the head. He was originally from Jinshi, but a few years ago, his household registration was transferred to Handan with his wife and children. His colleagues in Handan said that this Liu Baoshan is a well-known entrepreneur in the area. His company is thriving, and everyone knows him." Officer Cheng's tone was full of sighs.

"He's too audacious. He committed a crime and did it so openly. Isn't he afraid of attracting attention?" Yue Jiaoyang said.

"He thought that by living in seclusion in the city, he could dispel many people's doubts," Chen Niannian explained.

“That’s true. If it weren’t for this photo, I wouldn’t have imagined that someone like him would commit a crime.” Officer Cheng nodded in agreement.

If Liu Baoshan knew, he would probably vomit blood. He was originally a very cautious person, but he sold all his assets and embezzled most of the money that Wang Huadong had left for Chen Caixia and her daughter. He then fled to Handan City with his wife's household registration.

He had originally planned to live a peaceful life, but his son turned out to be a good-for-nothing. At a young age, he was full of bad habits and kept causing trouble. Whenever he got into trouble, Liu Baoshan had to clean up his messes. As a result, he saw his money dwindling, with only expenses and no income.

Liu Baoshan couldn't sit still any longer. He inquired around and eventually learned that Wang Huadong's verdict did not include the charge of murdering Chen Bangxing. After that, the case was dropped. He guessed that Wang Huadong might not have implicated him because he was afraid that if he were caught and implicated, Wang Huadong would be charged with murder again.

And so, Liu Baoshan gradually grew bolder. After another six months, no one mentioned Wang Huadong's case anymore, and Liu Baoshan felt that he was no longer in danger, so he started to have other ideas.
