Shi Nian showed the way, and the two went to Liu Chunyan's house.
Not long after Shi Nian left home, he once again stood downstairs of the house from which he had once desperately wanted to escape. It felt like a lifetime ago, and he could only sigh.
She got married to Feng Sihan by accident, but unexpectedly she met the right person.
Now that he is by her side, the bad memories of her past at home can never get near her at all.
Shi Nian's hand hanging by her side was suddenly held, and the touch brought her back to reality.
She tilted her head to meet Feng Sihan's concerned gaze, and a warm and numb feeling flowed through her heart.
He is worried about her.
"Si Han, I'm fine. Let's go. Let's try to make this a quick victory."
Shi Nian held his hand tightly and pulled him into the corridor.
Before she went upstairs, she did not see Liu Chunyan's electric bike at the door of the unit, and guessed that she might not be at home.
She stopped at the door of her house as if she was familiar with the place and listened to the sounds through the door for a while.
Feng Sihan whispered, "There seems to be no one in the living room."
Shi Nian raised the corners of her lips, "It's better if no one is around. Don't worry, I still have the key to the house."
She took out the keychain from her bag and rummaged through it for the keys, but her fingers suddenly stopped.
Feng Sihan was puzzled, "Nian Nian, what's wrong?"
Shi Nian held a key, frowned slightly, and looked up at him, "This is the key to the cashier drawer in Fang Ning's pet grooming shop. I found the evidence of his crime from there. There are many people's ID cards in that drawer, as well as my best friend's phone."
"I know. We have found all of the things you mentioned."
Shi Nian's brows relaxed and he smiled, "That's fine."
She found the key, unlocked the door, and motioned Feng Sihan to come in quickly.
The living room was empty and quiet.
Shi Nian breathed a sigh of relief, walked straight to Liu Chunyan's bedroom, and pushed the door open.
Feng Sihan followed behind her, and the person in front of him suddenly stopped.
He braked in time to avoid colliding with her.
He was about to speak when his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a moving figure on the bed.
Liu Chunyan was lying on the bed with her back to the door, sleeping.
Feng Sihan frowned. Shi Nian had already walked in quietly and turned to gesture to him, asking him not to make any noise.
Shi Nian remembered that all of Liu Chunyan's valuables were kept in a wooden jewelry box in the drawer under the bed.
She quietly approached, squatted down, and pulled the drawer out little by little.
Her eyes lit up when she saw the jewelry box in her memory.
Shi Nian stretched out her hand, and suddenly a shout exploded in her ear, "Shi Nian! Why are you here? Who let you in? What are you doing!"
She was startled and looked up to see Liu Chunyan's face close to her. Her heart trembled and she sat back.
Feng Sihan was quick to support her arm and help her steady herself.
Shi Nian came to his senses in an instant and quickly reached out to take the jewelry box.
She was a second too slow and the drawer was slammed shut by Liu Chunyan.
Shi Nian hastily retracted his hand, and his fingers were almost squeezed, and he felt scared.
Liu Chunyan was fully awake at this moment. She glanced at Shi Nian and then at Feng Sihan who was standing behind her. Her brows knitted together for a moment, "Okay! You two broke into my house and came to my room to steal things!"
She pointed at Feng Sihan and shouted angrily, "You are a police officer, but you break the law knowingly! I want..."
Shi Nian interrupted her and said, "What do you mean by you!"
She mocked, "Don't you come here every day to pick a fight with me and ask me to bring my son-in-law back to my parents' home? Today I brought my husband here, why are you not happy?"
Liu Chunyan's face was grim. "I asked you to bring him here, but I didn't ask you to bring him into my bedroom!"
The corners of Shi Nian's lips twitched slightly. Liu Chunyan was wrapped tightly, what was she yelling about?
Liu Chunyan glanced at the two of them suspiciously, "What did you two buy for the family? Shi Nian, have you and your sister gathered enough money for your brother's mortgage?"
Shi Nian met her gaze and said in a deep voice, "Put these aside for now. Let me ask you, where did you put the gold locket I wore when I was a child?"
"When did you ever have a golden lock?"
Shi Nian's face turned cold, "Don't play dumb, my sister told me that when you brought me home as a child, I wore a gold lock around my neck!"
Liu Chunyan cursed in a low voice, "Shi Wei, this little bitch with no sense of right and wrong, how could she tell everything to the outside world..."
While she wasn't paying attention, Shi Nian squatted down, pulled the drawer open with force, and picked up the jewelry box.
Liu Chunyan rushed to grab it, and she and she each held half, neither of them giving in.
The two of them faced each other in silence. After a few seconds, Liu Chunyan broke the silence with a sneer, "Shi Nian, it's been almost twenty years, and you still can't forget your biological parents? You didn't believe what I told you, and you just listened to your sister's nonsense. You were abandoned by your biological parents! When I picked you up, you were sitting alone on the street, and there was no one around you!"
Shi Nian's face turned ugly, "You are talking nonsense! My parents gave me that golden lock because they loved me, how could they abandon me!"
The corners of her eyes turned red, and she exerted force on her hands, causing a stinging pain on the wound on her palm. In a moment of carelessness, her jewelry box was snatched away by Liu Chunyan.
Everything happened in an instant. Feng Sihan hurriedly stepped forward, took Shi Nian's hand, and saw the red bloodstains on the bandage on her palm. A cold look appeared in his eyes.
Liu Chunyan was touched by his cold gaze, shrank her neck, and said in reply, "It's just a broken copper lock plated with gold. It wasted my time running around. That broken lock is as worthless as your parents' love for you!"
Shi Nian subconsciously retorted, "You're talking nonsense, the lock is pure gold!"
Liu Chunyan glanced at her, "Did you listen to what your sister said? Ha, she was only a few years old twenty years ago, what can she remember? I went to a jewelry recycling store to ask, and the owner said it was gold. But when I really went to sell it, it was full of impurities when I melted it. I went through so much trouble, but didn't get a penny!"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. "I was deceived by that broken lock. If I had known it was fake, I wouldn't have taken you home even if you gave me money! You're a money loser. You've been eating and drinking for free at my house for so many years. Now that you've grown up and become independent, you just turn your head and ignore the family. Shi Nian, tell me yourself, do you have no conscience?"
Shi Nian was stunned by the news revealed by Liu Chunyan. Her red eyes were fixed on the woman sitting cross-legged on the bed, carefully distinguishing her expression.
Liu Chunyan must be lying, she must be deceiving her!
How could the gold lock be fake?
But...if Jinsuo wasn't fake and she wasn't lying, why did her angry expression look so real...
At this time, my mood was in turmoil and my ears were buzzing.
The hand hanging by her side was suddenly wrapped by a warm big hand, and her body trembled slightly.
Feng Sihan's deep voice rang in his ears, "The minimum sentence for child trafficking is five years, and the maximum is death penalty."
Liu Chunyan's face changed slightly, and her voice was sharp, "What do you mean by that? Are you implying that I'm trafficking children?"
Shi Nian jumped out of her sadness and asked, "My husband just said it casually, why are you reacting so strongly?"
She gradually calmed down and emphasized, "Or... he was right about you!"
