He thought that for the rest of his life, he would be afraid to hear the word "gan" pronounced with the third tone.
"Wife, do you mean... because Xu Xiusen's wife's daughter died young, he has finally met a girl he finds attractive and genuinely wants to adopt her as his daughter?"
Wan Yuan's wife poked his forehead with one finger, scolding him with exasperation: "You! I told you to watch more TV dramas, but you always said they were boring. Now look what happened! You finally know the consequences of not liking TV dramas, right? You can't even understand such a simple truth."
Wan Yuan apologized against his conscience, saying, "Wife, I was wrong. I will definitely watch any TV series you recommend to me in the future."
His wife looked at him skeptically and asked, "Really?"
Wan Yuan nodded vigorously, "Really!"
“Alright, I’ll believe you for now.” Wan Yuan’s compliance pleased his wife greatly. “Based on my experience, that Xu guy you mentioned, what was his wife’s daughter again? Wasn’t she thrown off a building by his mentally ill wife? She’s definitely dead. As for the daughter he’s talking about, she’s very likely the child he had with another woman. He doesn’t care whose womb the child came from, as long as it’s his, that’s all that matters. That’s why he hit the person who said she was his biological daughter. Because she is his biological daughter after all. Only if she is truly his own child would he not allow others to speak ill of her like that.”
Wan Yuan thought about it and realized that his wife made a lot of sense. He hadn't considered the possibility that Xu Xiusen might have a child with another woman. After his wife said that, he felt that the Xu Moran that Xu Xiusen mentioned was probably the child he had with another woman.
Yes, Xu Moran is the girl standing in front of him.
He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but the more he looked at Xu Moran, the more she resembled Xu Xiusen. It wasn't that their facial features were very similar, but rather their expressions, especially the way their lips were pursed, were almost identical. And their eyes, Xu Xiusen's eyes and the eyes of this girl named Xu Moran in front of him were also almost exactly the same.
"Miss Xu." Wan Yuan noticed that Xu Moran wasn't drinking tea and felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, especially regretting his initial rude attitude. "Please wait a moment, I'll have someone buy coffee. Oh, by the way, Miss Xu, would you like coffee or milk tea? And how about a piece of cake?"
Xu Moran, "..."
This was the first time in her life that she realized how useful power was. In fact, she had only mentioned Xu Xiusen to bolster her courage, but she hadn't expected it to be so effective.
She wasn't thirsty or hungry, and quickly stopped Wan Yuan from calling someone to buy coffee, milk tea, and cake. "Director Wan, I don't need anything to drink. I would be very grateful if you could just show me the surveillance footage."
Miss Xu
"Wan Yuan stopped pressing the intercom and continued smiling broadly at Xu Moran, "Don't say thank you or anything like that in the future. It's all what I should do. Just wait a moment, I'll arrange it."
Wan Yuan originally intended to have the surveillance footage taken moved to his office to show Xu Moran, but Xu Moran stopped him.
She doesn't like causing trouble for others because of herself, and she has never liked it since she was a child.
In the surveillance room of the local police station, Xu Moran saw what happened after she left a certain road.
Not long after she turned around, a man ran up to Xu Ye, gesturing at her as he spoke.
Xu Moran could see clearly that the man was gesturing to indicate her appearance and height. In the footage, Xu Ye looked anxious and followed the man.
Xu Moran had always thought that B City's public security was better than most cities in the country, but because of Xu Ye, he realized for the first time that B City's public security was really bad.
She was shocked to find out that such a thing could still exist in City B, and she only found out now.
Wan Yuan, who had been by Xu Moran's side the whole time, kept a close eye on her expression. When she saw her face turn unusually pale as the man on the screen walked away with another man, she wisely asked the police officer in charge of monitoring to switch the camera to another intersection along this road.
At one of the intersections, Xu Ye was seen following that man—no, it should be said that he was pushed into the car by that man.
Zooming in on the image revealed the license plate, and upon investigation, it turned out to be a car with a fake license plate.
Seeing Xu Moran's face grow even uglier, Wan Yuan slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "This is outrageous! How dare they abduct someone in my jurisdiction! Xiao Wang, send someone to investigate immediately!"
Xu Moran didn't wait at the police station, but decided to go to that intersection to see if there were any clues.
Xu Moran's expression was so unpleasant that Wan Yuan mustered up the courage to ask her for her phone number so that he could notify her immediately if there was any news.
Xu Moran gave him her phone number, and when she deposited the ten thousand yuan into her phone, she looked up in surprise, "Miss Xu, are you also in the public security system?"
Xu Moran had no interest in dealing with these trivial matters. He nodded absentmindedly, hummed in agreement, and then ran out of the police station.
Seeing how fast Xu Moran took off running, Wan Yuan stood there stunned. So agile and nimble, no wonder he could get into the Municipal Bureau.
Thinking that Xu Moran, despite having a father like Xu Xiusen who was about to regain his former glory, was still just a low-key policeman, and then thinking of his own twin sons who had graduated from university but were still idle at home, waiting to be fed and waited for him to arrange jobs for them, he felt a lump in his throat.
He said that if he had two sons, his life would be over, and it really was over.
As for Xu Moran, as soon as he left the police station, he ran towards the intersection where Xu Ye had been taken to the car.
It should have taken at least twenty minutes to get there, but she managed to get there in just ten minutes. When she saw the people standing at the intersection, she thought she had been too hasty and had misjudged them.
