Xiao Wenjie smiled and said, "Of course I'm confident. We have enough evidence and clues. As long as we act according to the plan, we will definitely be able to bring these human traffickers to justice."
Shen Xiaochuan was finally relieved. He looked at Xiao Wenjie gratefully and said, "Thank you so much this time. If it weren't for your help, we wouldn't have known about this news so quickly."
Xiao Wenjie waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't be so polite, it's what I should do. By the way, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow as a welcome-back celebration!"
Shen Xiaochuan gently shook his head. "We should be the ones inviting you! We are really grateful for your help."
Standing to the side, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly nodded in agreement with her brother.
Seeing this, Xiao Wenjie waved his hand heartily and said, "Alright, why are you being so polite with me! You've just arrived here and aren't familiar with the surroundings, so let me do my part as the host."
Seeing his determined gaze, Shen Xiaoxiao knew he was a rather stubborn person, so she didn't argue but directly thanked him, "Thank you, Brother Xiao!"
Xiao Wenjie smiled happily when he saw that Shen Xiaoxiao agreed immediately. Then he turned to Shen Xiaochuan and said, "Xiaochuan, look at your sister. She's so polite. You should learn from her! Don't always be so rigid and inflexible."
Shen Xiaochuan said helplessly, "Okay, I understand!"
Seeing that Shen Xiaochuan seemed a little embarrassed, Xiao Wenjie stopped talking about it.
Shen Xiaochuan glanced at his watch; the hour hand was almost pointing to eleven. He turned to Xiao Wenjie and said, "It's getting late. Go wash up and get some rest. You have a lot to do tomorrow."
Xiao Wenjie's gaze fell on Shen Xiaochuan and Shen Xiaoxiao, noticing that they had both changed into loose and comfortable pajamas, so he casually asked, "Are you both done showering?"
Shen Xiaoxiao replied earnestly, "Yes, we've already washed up."
Xiao Wenjie smiled and nodded, then gently said to Shen Xiaoxiao, "Then you should go and rest. Your brother is here."
Shen Xiaoxiao did feel a bit tired, after all, the train journey these past few days hadn't fully restored her body.
She nodded obediently and said, "Okay, Brother Xiao, I'll go and rest now. Good night!" After saying that, she turned around and slowly walked towards her room, gently closing the door behind her.
Xiao Wenjie watched Shen Xiaoxiao's departing figure in silence, and a sense of emotion welled up in his heart.
He muttered to himself, "Ah, if only I had such a cute little sister!"
However, Shen Xiaochuan, who was standing to the side, overheard these words.
Shen Xiaochuan's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Xiao Wenjie with a wary expression, warning, "I'm warning you, don't think that just because you helped me, you can make a move on my sister!"
"Brother, how about you let your sister recognize me as her godbrother?" Xiao Wenjie asked with a smile, putting his arm around Shen Xiaochuan's shoulder as he saw that Shen Xiaochuan had heard him.
"Forget about it. She'll always be just my sister. Hurry up, there's still some water boiling for you in the kitchen. Go wash up and rest." Shen Xiaochuan slapped his hand away in disgust.
"Alright, alright! Next time I see your uncles and aunts, I'll just tell them directly, or I'll tell the little girl. As long as they agree to me becoming their god-sister, it doesn't matter if they disagree," Xiao Wenjie muttered to himself.
Shen Xiaochuan's face darkened. "What did you just say?"
"No, I didn't say anything. I just said thank you for boiling water for me." Xiao Wenjie quickly changed the subject.
Shen Xiaochuan didn't dwell on the issue.
The next morning, Xiao Wenjie got up very early to go to work. When Shen Xiaoxiao woke up, it was already broad daylight.
Dai Xingyun had already bought breakfast and was sitting in the lobby waiting.
Like a joyful little bird, Shen Xiaoxiao flew straight towards Dai Xingyun, excitedly calling out, "Xingyun!"
Dai Xingyun was clearly taken aback by this sudden enthusiasm. He had never seen his partner so excited before, but instinctively, he quickly reached out and caught her steadily, afraid that she would fall to the ground.
"What's wrong? Why are you so happy today?" Dai Xingyun asked gently, looking at Shen Xiaoxiao, who was beaming with joy in his arms.
Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't hide her joy and couldn't wait to share the good news with Dai Xingyun: "The human trafficker we caught yesterday has confessed everything! Moreover, he was the last person to know about us and hadn't had time to tip off the other outposts yet!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Xingyun felt a huge weight lifted from his heart, and he couldn't help but say happily, "That's great! Now we can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and we don't have to live in fear anymore!"
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, then, as if suddenly remembering something, she quickly said to Dai Xingyun, "Oh, right! My older brother's comrades are treating us to dinner tonight, so I can't have dinner with you."
Dai Xingyun smiled and replied, "Okay, it's alright. I haven't had a proper meal with my parents and grandfather these past few days, so I can spend some time with them tonight and let them know you've come."
"You two, do you think I'm invisible?" Shen Xiaochuan's face darkened, his voice low and tinged with anger. "And you, you brat, you're a girl, can't you be a little more reserved?"
After being told that by her brother, Shen Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly, then quickly sat down and buried her head in her breakfast.
After a while, Shen Xiaoxiao raised her head and said to Dai Xingyun with a face full of anticipation, "Xingyun, shall we go shopping at the department store again today?" Her eyes were bright and full of expectation.
Before Dai Xingyun could answer, Shen Xiaochuan interjected, "I don't have anything important to do during the day, so why don't I go with you?" Although his tone was calm, his concern was obvious.
After breakfast, the three of them tidied up a bit and then headed towards the department store.
Walking down the street, Dai Xingyun suddenly remembered something and said to Shen Xiaoxiao, "Oh right, I brought all the foreign exchange certificates with me today. Didn't you say you wanted to go to the Overseas Chinese Shopping Mall? Why don't we go to the Overseas Chinese Shopping Mall first?"
"After we're done shopping, we can stop by the department store on the way back." After saying that, he turned to look at Shen Xiaoxiao, as if asking for her opinion.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiaoxiao immediately replied excitedly, "Great! I've always wanted to visit the Overseas Chinese Shopping Mall! Now I finally have the chance." Her face beamed with a happy smile, clearly very pleased with the suggestion.
Thanks for the like!
