"Your brother-in-law is right. We will be able to go back soon. Besides, when has my sister ever lied to you?"
After hearing this, Xiao Ayan finally smiled and nodded heavily, "Yes, I believe you, sister."
Seeing that he was no longer so depressed, Su Mianmian took his hand and walked side by side with Shen Yuandao.
"Ayuan, are you going to work tomorrow?"
Shen Yuandao looked back at her and said, "You have to go tomorrow. Do you still remember the human trafficker Cao Fang you caught when you first went to the countryside?"
"I remember, what's wrong?"
Shen Yuandao said with a serious face, "Didn't Cao Fang's father run away last time and not be caught? He appeared again recently."
"Hiss. Is there a child missing?"
Shen Yuandao nodded, "Yes, the day I asked for leave, Captain Song said that after Huaichuan and I were off, the case would be handed over to the two of us."
Su Mianmian frowned, "Just the two of you?"
"No, the team will definitely send other people to assist."
Su Mianmian felt a little relieved. Old Cao was not as easy to deal with as his daughter Cao Fang.
Shen Yuandao remembered something and his expression became serious. "By the way, you have to be careful recently and protect Ah Yan. He might retaliate. After all, we were the ones who sent his daughter in."
"Okay, I understand."
Little Ayan listened to what the two said and patted his chest, "Don't worry, sister, Ayan has learned martial arts and can protect himself."
"Okay, but you have to go home with Sister Xuxu after school, okay?"
"Yeah, Yan, I'll remember it."
"When you go to school tomorrow, please tell Liangliang and Lele that it's best to go home accompanied by your family members recently." Su Mianmian instructed.
She had a bad feeling and hoped to catch Lao Cao as soon as possible.
Shen Yuandao looked at her expression and said comfortingly: "Don't worry too much, Ah Yan will be fine, we will find him as soon as possible."
Su Mianmian nodded, "I understand, let's go back."
After returning home, they took a nap.
…
afternoon
Shen Yuandao was sleeping soundly with his wife and child in his arms when he was awakened by a knock on the door.
He scratched his hair in annoyance, quietly lifted Su Mianmian's head, pulled his arm out, then lifted the quilt and prepared to get off the bed, but was caught by Su Mianmian.
Su Mianmian muttered, "What's wrong?"
Shen Yuandao patted her hand and said, “It’s okay, there’s someone knocking on the door outside, I’ll go see you and sleep for a while.”
Upon hearing this, Su Mianmian turned over and continued to sleep.
Shen Yuandao went to the yard and opened the door. Seeing that the visitors were Qin Huaichuan and Xiao Zhang, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Xiao Zhang, why are you here? Is there something urgent?" Shen Yuandao asked.
Xiao Zhang nodded seriously. "Today, a family of three was murdered at No. 8, Ping'an Lane, the commune. Someone came to the police station to report the crime at noon. The captain asked me to come and ask you two for help."
Shen Yuandao frowned, why did a murder happen at this critical moment?
"Okay, wait a moment while I get dressed and tell my wife, then we'll leave."
Xiao Zhang nodded, "Okay."
Shen Yuandao took a step and turned back, "Would you two like to drink some water? Come into the house?"
The two shook their heads, and Xiao Zhang pointed at Qin Huaichuan, "No, we just had a drink at Huaichuan's house, so we'll just wait here."
Seeing this, Shen Yuandao nodded and returned to the house with peace of mind.
After entering the house, Shen Yuandao gently called his wife. Su Mianmian was not too asleep and opened her eyes quickly.
She asked, "What's wrong? Who's here?"
Shen Yuandao found his clothes and put them on while answering: "It's Comrade Xiao Zhang. There is an urgent case that Huaichuan and I need to handle."
Su Mianmian sat up suddenly when she heard this, "You're leaving now? You're not going to eat."
Su Mianmian glanced at the time. It was a little after three in the afternoon, not long before dinner.
Shen Yuandao touched her head and said, “Don’t eat anymore, they are waiting for you, it’s a murder case.”
Su Mianmian nodded, "Okay, then you have to be careful."
"Got it. Go and have dinner with Aunt Yang and the others tonight, and let Qingqing come to our place to sleep with you."
Su Mianmian smiled helplessly and reached out to push him. "I know. Go ahead."
Shen Yuandao chuckled, lowered his head and kissed Su Mianmian's forehead, "Okay, then I'll go."
Su Mianmian waved at him.
Shen Yuandao left the house, and the three of them rode bicycles to the commune.
Su Mianmian was sober now and got off the bed to drink a glass of water.
As soon as I finished drinking water, Xiao Ayan came into the room and asked, "Sister, why did my brother-in-law leave?"
Su Mianmian poured him a glass of water and handed it to him, "Your brother-in-law's colleague is here to see him for something."
Little Ayan took the water and took a sip, "Okay, Ayan got it."
Su Mianmian climbed onto the kang and patted the seat next to her. "Come sit on the kang for a while. When Jiubao wakes up, we'll go to Aunt Yang's for dinner."
Little Ayan put down the cup and followed Su Mianmian onto the kang.
He poked Jiubao's chubby face and said, "Sister, Jiubao is so good even when he sleeps."
Su Mianmian patted his head. "You're so well behaved. When you were just born, you were just like Jiubao. You didn't cry or make a fuss. Mommy even praised you for being less of a worry than me."
Little Ayan looked at Su Mianmian, "Really? If that's the case, then Jiubao looks like me."
Su Mianmian looked at Jiubao and Xiao Ayan seriously. "They really do look alike. Isn't it said that nephews look like their uncles and daughters look like their aunts? It seems like it's the other way around in her family."
Little Ayan smiled happily, "That's great, if Jiubao looks like me, he will definitely be very handsome in the future."
Su Mianmian raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Are you saying you're pretty?"
Little Ayan scratched his head embarrassedly, "Sister, it wasn't me who said that. It was Lele who said I was very good-looking and she wanted to marry me in the future."
"Pfft." Su Mianmian's eyes widened. "Is this true?"
Are children nowadays so precocious? They are only six years old.
Little Ayan nodded seriously, "It's true, Lele said she wanted to marry me."
"Then what do you say?" Su Mianmian was extremely curious.
Little Ayan's cheeks flushed. "Ayan said that he wants to find a wife who is as beautiful as her sister and also good at martial arts."
Su Mianmian couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. "Oh my God, you are worthy of being my brother. Your hobbies are very unusual."
Little Ayan was also a little embarrassed, "What's wrong? Ayan doesn't like crying and weak little girls."
Su Mianmian: "Why? Have you seen it?"
Little Ayan nodded and said, "Yes, she is Lele's deskmate. I just found out that her mother is a stepmother. Lele and Liangliang told me that stepmothers are very bad."
"And then?"
"Then her stepmother came to pick her up from school and started crying to our teacher, Teacher Duan. She barely said a few words before she started crying."
Isn’t this a white lotus? I didn’t expect that we, Ayan, would encounter this.
Little Ayan continued, "Ayan looked at me in a strange way. I feel a little scared when I think that my future wife will be like this."
