Chapter 732 Family Status Improved
"The establishment of a special task force demonstrates the police's determination to solve major cases. In theory, this will speed up the process, but it's not 100% certain to succeed.
Cross-border cases are still very difficult, and not all local governments will cooperate with the police in handling cases.
Moreover, none of the missing persons have been found so far. According to colleagues who went abroad with them, their training and further studies in Europe were real, and their employment in overseas branches was also real. Others returned to China normally after working for one year. The only clue is that they were recruited by other companies with high salaries, and it was not the same company.
There was even one person who returned to China who said that they were the only two people who changed jobs together, and the other person went to another company and disappeared after half a month.
Xiaoyan's brows furrowed again. "On the surface, it seems quite random, but if it happens repeatedly, it can't be a coincidence." After a pause, she added, "The police might consider an undercover operation."
It suddenly occurred to me that police undercover operations should be kept secret. How could she know about it? Even if she was a criminal police officer before, they would not reveal it to her so easily.
"Sister Xiaoyan, did your former colleagues tell you this?" I asked tentatively. "Shouldn't this be confidential information? You just told me so casually. Is it really okay?"
She was silent for a moment. "I'm the undercover agent chosen by the higher-ups. I'm telling you this because I can't hide it from you, and I need your cooperation."
I subconsciously asked, "Does Xiao Shiqiu know about this?"
"Boss Xiao doesn't know yet," she said with a wry smile, "Undercover operations are usually kept strictly confidential, but going undercover at COLLIN is a very special situation.
There are really few detectives in the police force who can draw, let alone those who can draw fashion designs. It is too difficult to get in through a competition.
Even if you get in, it's easy to reveal your identity while working there. You have to have professional cooperation throughout the process, so it's impossible to maintain complete confidentiality."
I felt a little uncertain. "So what do you mean by telling me this?"
She smiled in a somewhat nonchalant manner: "Don't think too much about it. This matter hasn't been finalized yet, but it should be finalized in the next two days."
I asked, "Can you tell Xiao Shiqiu about this?"
"I'll talk to Mr. Xiao. Some things require his resources."
When I arrived at the hospital, my dad sent me a message, "I'm in the ward, where are you?"
Me: [Just arrived at the hospital, going upstairs immediately.]
I put down my phone and said to Xiaoyan, "Sister Xiaoyan, I can go up by myself. You can find a hotel to rest. You don't have to come to pick me up. I will take my dad's car to leave later."
She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll stay in the hotel opposite your community. Call me anytime if you need anything.
Oh, and there are some flowers in the trunk for you. It wouldn't be nice to pick up your mom empty-handed."
No wonder I smelled flowers in the car. Xiaoyan was so thoughtful. If she went undercover, she wouldn't be able to be with me every day. Thinking of this, I began to feel melancholy.
When we arrived at the ward, my father was already helping my mother pack her things. My mother changed out of her hospital gown and sat on the bed waiting. Her face was still a little pale, but she looked in good spirits.
I adjusted my mood and tried to smile sincerely, like a filial daughter. "Mom, congratulations on being discharged from the hospital."
When my mother saw me coming in with a bouquet of flowers, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she was immediately touched. She stood up and greeted me, "Mengmeng, you are so thoughtful."
She happily took the flowers from my hand and asked me to sit down and talk to her. "Your dad will be done with it soon. Please sit down and wait for a while."
My family status seems to have improved inexplicably, and I have a feeling it's not real.
In the past, it would be Deng Sisi who sat and talked with my mother, I would be the one packing things, and my father might not even go upstairs, but would wait for us in the car downstairs.
Without that troublemaker, everything at home seemed to be getting better.
"Mom, I won't go to the court session the day after tomorrow. I have something to do at school." Although my mother's attitude is different from before, I still don't know how to get along with her.
"It's okay, your dad and I will go." My mother's tone was gentle, just like when she used to talk to Deng Sisi.
"Mom, do you know what the Deng family did?" I planned to give my mother a heads-up so that she wouldn't be soft-hearted.
My mother was a little confused, "What did the Deng family do?"
"Deng Xinrong's brother and sister-in-law were found guilty of incitement, and his house and savings were all in the hands of Old Lady Deng." I explained briefly.
My mother didn't take it seriously. "Sisi was instigated by him, otherwise why would she do such a thing? Sisi is not a bad person at heart."
My heart skipped a beat. Even in this situation, my mother still thinks Deng Sisi is not a bad person. Is she too confident in her own genes?
I sighed, "Mom, do you think I would do this if my dad didn't want to divorce you and let you take half of the property and asked me to stab you to death?"
Before my mother could say anything, my father jumped up and slapped me on the head. "Ouch! My living ancestor, what nonsense are you talking about? Is that something you can just say casually?"
I slapped his hand away and straightened my messed up hair. "Why are you so anxious? I was just giving an example."
"Even an analogy won't work! What if your mom takes it to heart? Tell me, wouldn't I be wronged?"
As he spoke, he glanced at my mother. Seeing that my mother had no adverse reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to pack up.
My mother usually lives a very particular life. She brought a lot of things with her during these days of living here. She has already filled up an entire suitcase, and she hasn't finished packing yet.
My mother listened to my question, thought carefully for a while, and said firmly: "You definitely wouldn't do that. Neither you nor your father are that kind of people."
I laughed. "You think I can't, but deep down you actually think Deng Sisi is a possibility, right?"
My mother was silent for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Sisi is different from you. She's more easily bewitched..."
I was speechless. This filter hasn't broken yet. "Mom, people who are not bad at heart won't be tempted to hurt others, especially those closest to them.
Not to mention adults, even teenagers have a normal sense of right and wrong and know what are the bottom lines that cannot be crossed.
The so-called incitement is nothing more than awakening the evil thoughts in some people's hearts."
My mother fell silent again, and I ruthlessly shattered her little thoughts. "Mom, you really can't harbor illusions about her anymore, thinking that she's not changing and will get better. She's been framing me since she was a child, and she's really not a good person."
My dad suddenly said, "Why don't we just not go to the court session? It'll be annoying. A lawyer will be enough."
