"Creak~"

In the silent night, the sound of the door creaking was exceptionally piercing.

In an instant, everyone’s heart was in their throat.

The door finally opened.

Looking at the people inside, lying haphazardly, Wen Rou surprisingly felt an air of inevitability.

Xu Changhe and Er Mei lay slumped on the floor, their heads resting by the bedside. Now, there was no need to ask where the child had gone.

The child had undoubtedly been abducted.

The next step was to quickly obtain testimonies from Sun Xiaolian and Zhang Zhengquan, to make them confess about their accomplices.

To wake Xu Changhe, Er Mei, and even everyone in the entire compartment.

"Ahhhhh~"

The screams were ear-piercing.

Wen Ran, who had been well-prepared, had already plugged her ears.

In contrast to Hongguo, Xiao Chenxing, and Shen Yueyue, who were frightened stiff, she was evidently much calmer.

Slowly putting her hands down, she gracefully smiled, teasingly brushing away the strands of hair hanging by her ear.

Hmph~

It’s still me with foresight.

Er Mei had gone completely mad. Despite her appearance as a malicious sister-in-law now, she was essentially just weak inside.

She would only show off in front of her brother and that clueless nephew when she encountered Xu Changhe’s wife.

Zhou Sui.

In her presence, Er Mei was so obsequious, she would almost lick Zhou Sui’s feet.

However, Zhou Sui couldn’t quite comprehend Er Mei’s self-degrading behavior. She’d said many times for everyone to get along peacefully, but Er Mei wouldn’t listen and insisted on acting on her own desires.

She couldn’t be bothered to deal with Er Mei anymore.

Let her do as she pleases.

If someone is willing to act like a dog, what can she do?

If she tried to educate her, Er Mei would feel she was looking down on her, and if she didn’t...

Not educating her is better~

Zhou Sui had been anxious before about her sister-in-law’s disgraceful behavior, but one sleepless night, while looking at the man snoring thunderously beside her, she suddenly had an epiphany.

Why should she worry for someone else’s child!

After all, it’s not her own sister; whether Er Mei acts like a dog or even eats feces, it’s best just to let her be.

Since her brother doesn’t care, as a sister-in-law, she certainly wouldn’t care either.

From then on, Er Mei in Zhou Sui’s eyes was just a creature that could breathe, speak, and do stupid things.

Mmm, thinking that way made her feel much better.

"Enough!"

Xu Changhe was on the verge of breaking down.

But thinking of the missing child made him more heartbroken, and tears welled up. "If not for you, if it weren’t for you, how could things have come to this, reached this extent!"

All along the way, considering Er Mei was his sister, he didn’t know how many times he’d tolerated her behavior.

Suppressing so much anger, at the moment the child went missing, it all reached its peak.

He rushed over, swung his hand, and slapped Ah Mei’s face, then, with a kick, sent Er Mei flying three meters away.

Er Mei landed on the ground, opened her mouth with an "aah", and spat a large mouthful of blood.

She felt painful all over, unable to crawl up, only able to struggle and twitch while lying on the ground.

"Alright!" The attendant advised, "The most important thing right now isn’t venting anger, but providing as much information as possible so we can quickly find the person."

To prevent further escalation, some staff stayed behind to calm down the crowd.

The rest took everyone including Sun Xiaolian, Zhang Zhengquan, Xu Changhe, Er Mei, and Wen Ran away.

They were brought to a secluded location for talks.

Regarding such matters, it’s no joke, and Wen Ran was happy to cooperate.

Moreover, to reduce the likelihood that her serious recount would be treated as a joke, she rummaged through her bag and pulled out a small scroll tied with a string.

"Here!"

Wen Ran pushed the item forward.

The clerk responsible for recording cautiously asked, "What’s this?"

Wen Ran earnestly replied, "Certificates, to be honest, I’ve helped catch quite a few child traffickers, thieves, and notorious robbers before."

The clerk: "???"

He was a bit bewildered.

Huh?

Looking at Wen Ran’s slender limbs, he felt that everything before him was quite unreasonable.

There indeed might be people who have caught child traffickers, thieves, and notorious robbers...

But these things shouldn’t be associated with such a delicate, beautiful young woman.

Especially considering this young woman appeared so frail, with her slender limbs seemingly breakable with just a bit of force.

Yet, when one places her identity in the victim’s position, it suddenly becomes reasonable.

"Whether you believe it or not, open and see for yourself."

The certificates were real and were those Wen Ran had painstakingly pried from the wall before departing.

Prying them off was easy.

These things were just pasted with rice glue to the wall.

The difficult part was removing the rice glue from the back of the certificates.

While prying them off, Wen Ran felt she was nearly becoming cross-eyed from the ordeal.

She even wondered if she might not need them once she arrived at the Capital City; wouldn’t that be a waste of her effort?

Indeed.

Wen Ran had no official identity, making things inconvenient, but...

She had official certificates!

Not just one.

One, two, three, four, five certificates.

The attendant looked at the red seals on them, somewhat bewildered, trembling as he stood up, realizing that this figure wasn’t someone a minor employee like him should question.

Better to let someone capable handle it all!

"Boss!"

In the crowd, a woman turned, "What’s the matter?"

"I feel it’s necessary for you to come here," he stammered.

With a slender waist and long legs, the woman strode over, her face cold, exuding an aura of authority that left Wen Ran dazzled.

Wow, is this the so-called uniform temptation?

Please forgive her for not being a firm-minded woman; she has always enjoyed looking at beautiful sisters.

Hehehe.

The attendant whispered to the woman, who managed to spare a moment to glance at Wen Ran amidst her busy schedule.

Very calmly.

She reached out, picked up the certificates on the table, and glanced through them one by one, but...

She frowned, "These honors, why have they been cared for in such a manner?"

Wen Ran obediently replied, "Actually they weren’t originally like this, I put them on the wall, thinking they’d keep me motivated.

However, since I am going to college,

I thought since I’m leaving, I probably won’t return for decades, might as well take them with me."

What?

This information shocked the woman even more.

This was the first exam after the reinstatement of the college entrance examination, and she passed?

"You got into college?"

Wen Ran couldn’t tell if it was her own illusion, but she felt the coldness that initially emanated from the woman was subtly diminished.

The aura surrounding her became gentler.

Oh~

Wen Ran suddenly realized, turned out the pretty sister liked obedient kids who excelled academically.

Hehehe, lucky her, she met all the criteria.
