Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 644 Family Love
Zhang Yong shared his assessment with the people in Zhuzhou, and they quickly agreed with it.

While it may sound cruel and harsh, and it's excessive to make such assumptions about a victim without any evidence, the police have seen countless similar crimes. Ruthless criminals have no bottom line, and expecting them to be law-abiding and friendly is a joke! These kinds of people always use violence to control their victims and would never hesitate to inflict more and cruel harm on them.

What will happen to an innocent victim who is alone and trapped in a den of iniquity? Can we really expect a righteous hero who only appears in TV dramas and movies?

impossible!

It's really cruel to talk about this.

However, the police must consider these aspects, analyze and judge the level of crime committed by the suspects, and determine the standards for pursuit and treatment.

If the difference in 'price' can indeed be used to determine whether Ai Yun has suffered more serious abuse, the police must pay greater attention to this human trafficker and do everything in their power to find out everything about him.

"I got you!"

Cao Youen, deputy director of the Zhuzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, nodded, smiling and revealing a set of white teeth: "Human trafficking-related crimes are never simply a matter of buying and selling; they inevitably involve violent crimes and sexual assaults. This cannot be ignored. The relevant materials submitted to the procuratorate and the court must fully explain the numerous evil deeds and the utter ruthlessness of these people. We all hope that these damned human traffickers will be sentenced to death!"

"Yes! If they only get ten or eight years in prison, that would be so disappointing. So please, you absolutely must investigate this case thoroughly. Please find out all the criminal leads in the relevant chain and arrest all the suspects involved. I beg you!"

Zhang Yong stood up, bowed deeply to the group of police officers in the office, and handed the case over to the Zhuzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau.

As for Zhang Yong and his group, they have successfully completed their main mission this time.

Ai Yun's parents have been found and the two families have been reunited. The people who sold Ai Yun, took her away, and bought her back then have all entered the police investigation process. We can look forward to when they will be arrested and brought to justice.

It's not that Zhang Yong intends to give up halfway, but rather that investigating these cases involving Ai Yun would be less convenient for them than for the Zhuzhou police.

After all, it's cross-border law enforcement, and the police in Chu Province don't have the authority to handle cases in Nan Province. The victim, the scene of the incident, and the suspect are all in Nan Province, so this case can only be handled by the Nan Province police. Although Zhang Yong and others could stay to continue cooperating with the investigation, procedurally speaking, their presence in Zhuzhou City would be largely meaningless. They could directly request case acceptance documents from the Zhuzhou City and Yongzhou City Public Security Bureaus, and then take them back home.

Why are you going back so early?

Sun Chang was somewhat unwilling.

We've only just arrived in Zhuzhou, and we haven't even had a chance to settle in before we have to leave again?

Although the investigation into Ai Yun's parents went smoothly and quickly, we can't just treat people like donkeys! After the matter is finished, we should at least give her two days of rest. Besides, we need to check on Ai Yun's situation and see whether she wants to go back with us or stay in Zhuzhou.

"We brought Ai Yun out, so we must bring her back safely."

Sun Chang responded without hesitation, then looked at Zhang Yong with a sneer and said, "To be honest, I don't have a good impression of these senile parents. What were they thinking back then, entrusting their daughter to a stranger?"

"I can't understand this either."

Zhang Ke shrugged, equally puzzled, and said, "According to Shen Bo's confession, he and Chen Dongzhi actually didn't meet that many times. They initially met through literary exchanges and then kept in touch via letters, phone calls, and text messages, rarely meeting in person. Shen Bo cultivated a persona of a sophisticated intellectual, and Chen Dongzhi completely trusted him based solely on this persona. This is just too outrageous. What kind of naive personality could allow someone to entrust their daughter to another person so readily, knowing almost nothing about their family or personal information, simply because of a persona? It's like they had absolutely no guard up; it's so stupid it's suffocating."

Zhang Ke wanted to say again that there are always strange people every year, and there are always many of them. Especially as a policeman, he has seen all sorts of bizarre things and events in this world, and Chen Dongzhi's behavior was not the most outrageous in his opinion.

However, seeing Sun Chang's displeased expression, Zhang Ke wisely refrained from provoking her at that moment.

How is Li Siyu doing?

Zhang Yong interrupted the two men's grumbling.

"She's still with Ai Yun and those two old people! The two old people have calmed down a bit now and are talking to Ai Yun. But that old man hasn't said a single word of apology yet."

Sun Chang pursed his lips, his words still carrying a personal tone.

Zhang Yong ignored her.

Just wait for her to calm down on her own, or let Zhang Ke bear her negative emotions?
He glanced at Zhang Ke, shook his head inwardly, and gave up on the plan.

The group returned to Ai Yun's apartment complex and found her arguing with her parents. She angrily locked herself in her room, refusing to open the door no matter how much Fan Weiping and Li Siyu knocked, sulking silently inside. On the balcony outside the living room, Chen Dongzhi also looked grim. Despite coughing badly, he pulled out a pack of cigarettes from somewhere and started smoking one after another, filling the balcony with smoke.

Normally, Fan Weiping would have given him a good beating if he had dared to smoke. But now, because of Ai Yun's matter, Fan Weiping couldn't stand Chen Dongzhi no matter what she did, and she just said, "You might as well smoke yourself to death," and then ignored him.

"What happened?"

Zhang Ke pulled Li Yiduo, who was operating his laptop in the living room, aside.

"The old lady wanted Aiyun to stay and live with the two of them, but Aiyun disagreed. First, it was because the old lady had a problem with Luo Jue and didn't want to acknowledge this grandson. After finally getting her to compromise, the old lady wanted Aiyun and Luo Jue to change their names back to Chen Aijun and Chen Jue, but Aiyun still refused. The mother and daughter had finally reunited, and that's how they started arguing. Aiyun couldn't win the argument with the old lady, so she simply locked herself in the room."

Li Yiduo explained in a low voice.

He seemed to be in a good mood, and it was clear that even though the mother and daughter were arguing fiercely, Li Yiduo thought it was a good thing.

The worst situation is when two people ignore each other and treat each other like strangers. Arguing? So what! Arguing brings them closer, they eventually become family – that's wonderful!

"Change your name..."

Lin Ge's lips twitched slightly.

It's only the first day of their reunion, and she's already impatiently asking her daughter to do this and that. The old lady's personality is quite impatient.

As for the old lady's disapproval of Luo Jue, Zhang Ke could understand it. After all, the child was half Luo Jianlin's blood, something the old lady deeply resented after learning the truth. Judging from her eventual compromise, she still cared about Ai Yun.

Ai Yun seems to have inherited the old lady's stubbornness in this regard. Lin Ge noticed this back in Zhang City; Ai Yun was quite obstinate in some ways, so much so that even Luo Jue had a headache with her stubbornness. It's only because this woman sees Luo Jue as her one and only that she immediately gives up on anything Luo Jue disagrees with; otherwise, it's hard to say what strange things she might do. Of course, the old lady is the same in this respect; compromise is inevitable.

"Chen Aijun, come out here!"

The old lady pounded on the door angrily. She'd been arguing with Ai Jun, but the argument had left her exhausted. She sighed helplessly, hands on her hips, and slammed the door again, saying, "Fine, I'll let it go this time! But open the door! I've missed you for over ten years, and I'm finally able to see you again, and this is how you upset me? Chen Aijun, what's with this constant arguing with me since you came back?"

"You still call me Chen Aijun! My name is Aiyun, Aiyun as in Aiyun, and Yun as in Aiyun!"

Ai Yun's boisterous voice came from inside the room, her voice revealing a hint of willfulness, naivety, and innocence.

It seems that returning to this home and reuniting with her parents, followed by this argument with her mother, has brought her back to the carefree and unrestrained days when she was with them. The lost ten years of memories seem to have erased those precious years as well, leaving her exactly as she was back then.

"call……"

The old woman's chest heaved violently; she guessed that none of her students back when she was teaching had ever been as difficult as her own dead daughter.

Most importantly, this brat is completely unreasonable! Sometimes she argues without any logic, spouting nonsense while thinking it's perfectly reasonable, causing Fan Weiping to stray from the point of view and even lose the argument.

“You’re not called Ai Yun, you’re my little ancestor!” Fan Weiping said through gritted teeth, looking around before suddenly grabbing a feather duster from next to the refrigerator.

After swinging it around a couple of times and finding it still easy to handle, he angrily grabbed it and headed back to Ai Yun's room, slapping the feather duster against the door with a 'smack'.

"One last question for you: are you coming out or not!"

"Come out, come out!"

As if sensing something, or as if such a scene had happened before, Ai Yun, even though she couldn't see this scene, reflexively compromised and surrendered when Fan Weiping held the feather duster in hand.

She opened the door, pouted, and walked out. She glanced at the feather duster in Fan Weiping's hand, and shuddered reflexively. Then, she put on a stubborn attitude and proudly raised her head.

"you……"

Fan Weiping really wanted to beat Ai Yun up, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

My daughter is silly, but I'm not! If I beat her, isn't it because I feel bad for myself?
Moreover, after all this commotion, all the misunderstandings and awkwardness in my heart have almost disappeared.

Looking up at her daughter again, Fan Weiping saw the marks of more than ten years on her face and the scars of more than ten years of hardship on her body, but the silly girl's appearance was not much different from what she remembered. The only thing that Fan Weiping disliked was Ai Yun's short, ear-length hair! How beautiful her daughter's long, thick, black hair used to be! How could it be cut into such a grotesque way? It looked like a blind person had just shoved a couple of snips into it and then reluctantly trimmed it.

"Juejue cut my hair!"

Noticing her mother staring intently at her hair, Ai Yun proudly announced the answer; she didn't find it ugly at all, and was even quite pleased with herself.

"..."

Fan Weiping then remembered that her daughter and grandson had been relying on each other for survival since they were rescued by the Zhangzhou police.

A simple-minded woman and a child certainly can't earn money. In other words, she has to rely on others for food, clothing, and shelter, and has to be mindful of their moods. She can hardly afford to go to the hair salon for a nice haircut.

Even so, Fan Weiping still had to accept the favor!
If it weren't for the protection and help provided by the police officers at Zhanghe Police Station, given her mentally challenged daughter, she might have starved to death even if she hadn't been abducted again.

Thanks to them, his daughter was able to escape the den of evil, and he was able to reunite with her one day.

"thank you all!"

Fan Weiping turned around and bowed deeply to Zhang Yong and the others.

She even tried to kneel down, trembling, but Sun Chang quickly helped her up.

Sun Chang comforted Fan Weiping with a few words of comfort, and Ai Yun added her own jokes by picking up Lin Ge and showing him off to her mother. Fan Weiping's mood improved, and she glared at her daughter fiercely, wishing she could beat her up again.

On the other side, Zhang Ke and Li Yiduo accompanied Chen Dongzhi, trying to persuade him to stop smoking.

"You just said that my grandson was also kidnapped?"

Chen Dongzhi didn't know what he was feeling at that moment; his thoughts were still a jumbled mess. He didn't even dare to talk to Ai Yun, and for a long time he didn't know what to do, until finally he thought of a topic.

"Yes! Shortly after his birth, he was abducted and even taken abroad. Compared to Ai Yun, Luo Jue suffered a lot more. He was even bought and trained to be an assassin, almost becoming a menace to society."

Zhang Ke didn't hide much, after all, Chen Dongzhi was Luo Jue's maternal grandfather, and he had the right to know the truth.

Moreover, after experiencing Luo Jue's unreliable father and unreliable paternal relationships, a good maternal relationship is also crucial for him.

Despite his pedantry and naiveté, Chen Dongzhi cannot be considered a bad person, no matter how much criticism he receives. He bears responsibility for Ai Yun's tragic fate; however, it was merely a mistake of trusting others and being deceived, not a criminal act. Furthermore, their family's scholarly atmosphere could positively influence Luo Jue's future. Perhaps the child needs such an intellectual family to correct his character and prevent him from committing acts of murder and revenge.

"It's really... that child has suffered a lot. It's not easy for him and Junjun to finally get over their hardships. It's also thanks to your Zhanghe Police Station that I, this fool, was able to see my daughter again, have a grandson, and have my family reunited."

Chen Dongzhi accepted Luo Jue very easily; compared to Fan Weiping's disgust and resistance, he was even somewhat impatient.

After all... there's only a one-word difference between a grandson and a great-grandson. When that beast who bought Ai Yun was unworthy to be Ai Yun's husband or Luo Jue's father, then Chen Dongzhi was Luo Jue's biological grandfather, without the slightest problem.

"He should still be in class right now. You can have Ai Yun call Luo Jue later so you can have a good talk and exchange ideas. We need to let things pass and look forward to a promising future, right?"

Zhang Ke offered his suggestion with a smile, hoping that Luo Jue could accept the grandparents.

Chen Dongzhi naturally readily agreed.

Seeing the family's atmosphere and attitude, and realizing there wasn't a major problem, the police officers decided to take their leave.

With them standing there, the family felt awkward about saying anything personal or private, and they were also embarrassed to ask Ai Yun about what happened back then or how she was doing now in front of the police.

So, under Ai Yun's somewhat displeased and aggrieved gaze, Zhang Yong led the four officers from the police station away. Of course, he was careful to leave Mimi at Chen Dongzhi's house, and so far, Mimi's identity as a police cat has not been revealed.

Although Lin Ge was not very willing, he did not refuse out of respect for Luo Jue.

then……

He watched speechlessly as Fan Weiping, barely containing her urgency, glared at Ai Yun and turned hostile after just seeing the police downstairs. Without a word, she grabbed Ai Yun and dragged her into the bathroom, where Ai Yun's scream of "Why are you taking my clothes off!" soon echoed.

There's nothing wrong with a mother caring for her child, and Lin Ge felt it was inconvenient and awkward to stop her.

He turned to look at Chen Dongzhi and noticed that the man had finally stopped smoking after Zhang Yong and the others left. He even stood up cheerfully, waiting to move around in the living room while looking around as if everything was pleasing to the eye.

My daughter, whom I've missed for over ten years, has finally come back!
Despite the many unexpected things that happened in the past ten years, which caused his daughter a lot of trouble, she eventually returned home safe and sound!
That’s good!

That's it!

Nothing else matters, everything is acceptable! Compared to the fear and lingering dread of almost losing my daughter forever, both my grandson and Junjun's illness seem insignificant.

My daughter is still alive and kicking, and can still swear. How wonderful!

Hearing Ai Yun cursing loudly inside as Fan Weiping tormented her, only to be suppressed the next second with pitiful sobs and no courage to resist, Chen Dongzhi couldn't stop laughing.

He has longed for this scene for more than a decade!
He used to long for the day his daughter would come back from abroad, bringing her husband and grandson to visit him, so he could brag to the neighbors and relatives. But now, all he wants is for his daughter to be healthy.

"Save me!"

A short while later, Ai Yun, wrapped in a bath towel, suddenly fled from the bathroom in a disheveled state. She quickly hid behind Chen Dongzhi and grabbed his arm, as if she had found her backbone, and glared arrogantly at Fan Weiping.
