Qin Yuanjiu stood ramrod straight, his long legs striding swiftly, and in just a few steps he overtook the oxcart.
“Host,” Xiao Wen really looked down on Ke Meiyu’s professional skills, “If you want to gain favor with the big villain, you have to seize the opportunity to offer warmth and make your presence known.”
Who goes up to someone and asks if they dislike them? That's like asking someone with a 99% hatred level. Do you really think they'd like you or want to talk to you?
Ke Meiyu was already somewhat hurt. How did she end up generating so much hatred when she greeted him for no reason?
Hearing Xiao Wen chattering away, she angrily blocked it out and glared resentfully at Qin Yuanjiu's back. This was the first time in both her lives that she had ever pursued someone, and even though she was being perfunctory and not really invested, she still couldn't accept being disliked so much.
Once in the car, she continued to hold the drowsy white dumpling, listlessly leaning against the old lady with her eyes closed, feigning sleep.
In her previous life, Ke Meiyu was a young lady from a prominent family, and she received a traditional education that combined Chinese and Western elements, typical of the Republic of China era.
She's very good at all sorts of international stuff, and she's been smart since she was little. But she uses all her intelligence to deal with her family and teachers, and she's good at being lazy whenever she can. She's a master of playing both sides.
In front of elders, she is obedient, sweet-talking, and exceptionally beautiful, able to charm anyone she meets. But among her peers, she's a wild girl, capable of everything from clubbing and dancing to racing, shooting, golf, swimming, fencing, and more, and quite good at it all.
She once had a childhood sweetheart and like-minded (and equally eccentric) fiancé, a notorious local bully in Kyoto. However, when the apocalypse struck, she watched helplessly as, under the protection of a powerful figure, her fiancé was betrayed and infected by his best friend, turning into a zombie.
She was dejected for two days as a sign of mourning, but somehow she offended a powerful figure and ended up losing her innocence in a completely haphazard way...
Ke Meiyu has always lived a carefree life. After being confined in a cage by the big boss, she tried her best to escape. Now, she is being forced into marriage by the system.
She drifted through life in a daze, feeling completely lost about her future. It was as if she were standing at a crossroads, not having made a choice, when she was being pushed and sprinted in one direction!
This feeling is awful!
Ke Meiyu couldn't help but reflect. Life was her own; since she was destined to be tied to the villain for life, she couldn't just go through the motions. She had to genuinely treat him as a life partner, exchanging sincerity for sincerity. She had to turn passive into active, completing her mission while also living her own life to the fullest!
With her goal firmly set, Ke Meiyu's mood instantly improved.
The oxcart swayed and rattled until it reached the town's police station. Ke Meiyu, carrying the child, easily jumped off the cart and, accompanied by Old Lady Ke, went inside to give her statement.
"This must be the child?" The policewoman, who already knew the gist of the matter, said with a light laugh and reached out to take the child.
As soon as Ke Meiyu raised her arm, she felt a pair of small hands tightly gripping her clothes.
She smiled, pursed her lips, and looked down.
The little guy woke up at some point, his eyes darting around under his tightly closed eyelids, and his little mouth was unconsciously pursed in tension, as if he would burst into tears if I took him out.
What an adorable little guy!
"It's okay, I'll hold him for now," Ke Meiyu said with a smile, giving the female police officer a wink.
After taking the statement, Ke Meiyu patted the little guy on the back, "Little one?"
The little guy kept his eyes tightly closed and didn't respond.
The female police officer said gently, "Little friend, this is the police station. You are safe now."
"Can you tell Auntie your name, where you live, and how you were taken away?"
“Yes, little friend, this auntie can help you find your family and take you home,” Ke Meiyu said, pinching his nose.
The little guy stubbornly refused to open his mouth, his face turning red as he pretended to faint.
Ke Meiyu sighed softly, released her hand, and said helplessly, "Don't worry, I won't leave. If, if the police don't find your house, you can come home with me first, until your parents come looking for you, okay?"
"Really?" the little guy asked softly, opening one eye.
"Of course, children who lie will become ugly!" Ke Meiyu solemnly swore.
He then opened his eyes with relief, obediently clinging to Ke Meiyu, his little face as serious as a white dumpling, and said in a slightly unclear voice, "Auntie Police Officer, I am four years old this year."
I was born when my mother went to visit my father in Guangdong Province, so my name is Lu Yuehai!
"This time," he said, glancing cautiously at Ke Meiyu before lowering his head guiltily, "this time my dad was away on a business trip, and I secretly climbed into the car."
“Little Lu Yuehai,” the policewoman continued gently, “Do you remember your parents’ names, what they do for a living, and where you live?”
When did you get on the bus? What kind of bus were you on? And how long did you stay on the bus?
Lu Yuehai was taken aback, then frowned and thought for a moment: "My dad's name is Luzhe~xin~, and he manages a lot of military uncles. My mom's name is Zhen~qia~qia~, and she gives injections to naughty children!"
My home is in Yanzhou...
I don't know when I got on the bus. I took a nap, and when the bus stopped, I climbed off.
From the child's fragmented words, everyone came to a conclusion.
The mischievous little boy sneaked into his father's business trip car. When they passed Qianzhuang, the car stopped, and the people in the car probably got out to replenish their food and hot water.
Lu Yuehai got off the bus in a daze and was spotted by human traffickers, which led to what happened next.
Knowing that the child hadn't eaten, Grandma Ke quickly took out some snacks and borrowed a tea mug to make a cup of milk powder.
After washing his hands, the little guy grinned at the old lady and Ke Meiyu, completely forgetting his fear of getting lost, and began to wolf down the snacks.
The police officers gathered together to discuss a solution.
Without a nationwide information network, all evidence collection and investigation rely entirely on manual labor!
Their limited and passive access to information also restricts their ability to handle cases. For example, they cannot distinguish the dialect spoken by the child and would not use that as a starting point.
The child is young and cannot speak clearly, so he doesn't remember many key things, which increases the difficulty of the case.
"Which 'Yan' is in Yanzhou, and where is it located...?"
"What characters are in his parents' and his own names...?"
"There are quite a few officers with similar names,"
"Many vehicles pass through Qianzhuang every day, and the most important thing is that the child's father didn't know the little one was in the car!"
Ke Meiyu, who had been listening intently, raised her hand and said:
"Officer, the child's speech is unclear, with a strange accent, and some of it is a mix of Guangdong and Liaoning accents."
Our Xiahua Military Region has many units, and each military region has a large number of troops under it.
I think we can start by focusing on the military regions of Guangdong and Liaoning provinces and the surrounding areas, and ask which families have recently lost children..."
