Chapter 125

A child?

Ye Junwen's heart skipped a beat, a figure flashed through his mind.

However, he wasn't sure if the person in front of him was truly the thief Zhen Kechuan, or if Policeman Shi was just trying to trick him into revealing something by pretending to be Zhen Kechuan. Ye Junwen simply stared at him intently, as if trying to see if there was truly a face mask on the man.

Zhen Kechuan caught his expression from the corner of his eye and couldn't help but laugh heartily again.

He parked the car by the roadside, and under Ye Junwen's scrutinizing gaze, slowly removed the face mask from his face.

Ye Junwen's eyes widened instantly, the face of the person in front of him merging with the face he remembered from six or seven years ago.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

It really was Zhen Kechuan!

"You...you...are really..." Ye Junwen subconsciously raised his hand to point at his face, but hastily withdrew it when he met Zhen Kechuan's gaze.

Zhen Kechuan gave a slight smile, "That's right, don't doubt it."

Ye Junwen swallowed hard, "Then you, where are you taking me?" Surely not to silence him!

Zhen Kechuan saw his cowardly expression and felt amused, "I'm taking you to my territory."

Following the surveillance footage and clues, the police finally discovered the stopped police car by the roadside, but it was a fake police car with fake license plates.

They then followed another set of tire tracks further, but the tracks disappeared, and the police dogs couldn't pick up any relevant scents either.

The trail went cold.

Policeman Shi punched the trunk of a large tree by the road hard, while Li and Zhao hung their heads in silence.

Come to think of it, they were all responsible for this failure. They hadn't been thorough enough and didn't suspect the identity of the "Policeman Shi" at all. The two important suspects had simply slipped away right before their eyes. It seemed they were due for some disciplinary action.

"Issue a wanted notice with a reward. Also, notify the Ye Family that if they have any information about Ye Junwen, they should contact us immediately!"

On New Year's Eve at the end of the month, Ye Jinchen woke up, roused by Ye Jinmeng's constant chatter.

Ever since Ye Jinchen was resuscitated that time, his vital signs had been growing steadier. The doctor said that if this continued, he would wake up before long.

On the night of New Year's Eve, as usual, Ye Jinmeng squatted by Ye Jinchen's bedside, softly speaking into his ear.

"Brother, it's New Year's Eve today. Have you prepared the red envelopes? You can't be stingy, you have to give me a huge red envelope!"

Although he wasn't sure if the other Ye Jinchen was just a figment of his imagination or real, Ye Jinchen's gaze at Xu Wanwan became complicated.

"Big Brother Ye, how are you feeling?" Xu Wanwan asked with concern.

Ye Jinchen snapped out of it and nodded, "I'm feeling alright."

"That's good." Xu Wanwan somehow felt that Ye Jinchen was looking at her strangely, as if searching for some kind of answer.

Ever since Ye Jinchen woke up, Gu Qi had been in an exceptionally good mood, and her haggard complexion had gradually become rosy again.

She smiled at the two kids, "Come on, have a seat. Here are some bananas, take one each."

"Thank you, Auntie Gu."

"Wanwan, when does your school start again?" Ye Jinchen asked curiously.

"Oh, classes officially resume on the twenty-first of the first lunar month."

"That's still half a month away. Aren't you going back to your hometown?"

Xu Wanwan shook her head awkwardly and smiled, "No, I have no relatives left in my hometown. The house I used to live in was lent to me by the village chief, but after I came to Hai City, he took it back. If I went back, I'd have nowhere to stay."

Ye Jinchen nodded, "Well, from now on, just treat the Ye Family as your family home."

Upon hearing this, tears instantly welled up in Xu Wanwan's eyes. She lowered her head, not looking at Ye Jinchen. "Thank you, Big Brother Ye."

Ye Jinmeng chimed in, "Wanwan and I are already sisters. Of course my home is Wanwan's home, and my family home is naturally Wanwan's family home too."

Ye Jinchen curved his lips slightly and pinched her little face.

He smiled, "I remember someone told me that from now on, she won't be lazy anymore, and she'll do whatever I tell her to do. Who said that?"

Ye Jinmeng played dumb, "Yeah, brother, who did say that? It definitely wasn't me. I'm hardworking, see? Maybe you meant Wanwan said it?"

"Ah? Why would I have said that? I don't know which little lazybones said it but won't admit it now."

Gu Qi watched the children joking and laughing together, thoroughly enjoying this warm atmosphere. She hoped that from now on, none of the children would ever be hurt again, and that they would all live safe, healthy lives.
