The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Yan Feng still maintained his composed demeanor, though he looked slightly haggard.

His eyes were dark circles and his lips were pale.

"How about it? Should we go to the hospital for a check-up?"

Although he thought she was unlikely to be injured.

"It's alright, this child has a problem; all he does is laugh."

Liu Yu helped hand the child over.

Yan Feng took a look and immediately realized that the little boy might have cerebral palsy.

“We have already notified the family, and his mother will be here soon.”

Thank you, you saved another life.

"It's nothing. Oh, by the way, um..."

Lin Xi pulled Yan Feng aside and asked him how the drug trafficking case from last time was going.

Yan Feng assumed she was concerned about the bonus.

"I'm sorry, the bonus can only be paid after the case is closed. Right now... there's no progress."

"It's alright, the bonus isn't a rush. Is there some difficulty with the lack of progress?"

Yan Feng thought the young girl was very capable and might be able to offer some ideas.

He frowned and said, "We found the place where he used to live. There were only a few clothes and simple daily necessities. It should be a temporary base."

"Aren't there any clues inside?"

Every place that has been lived in will leave traces, but current criminal investigation methods are not that advanced.

"There were no important clues, but there was an open box of instant noodles, and only one bowl was eaten."

It seems they originally planned to stay long, but left shortly after arriving.

That place was also very remote, with no surveillance cameras whatsoever.

Yan Feng's expression was not good. Everyone had been working overtime for more than half a month, and they had finally made progress, but then the clues went cold again.

Lin Xi's face scrunched up in a frown.

Drug trafficking cases were originally far removed from her life; she only saw them on television or in novels.

But now, she is personally dealing with such cases.

These cruel events happened in this city, right here in our neighborhood.

I can't help but keep it in mind; I can't stay out of it.

"If... if you don't mind, could you take me to see it in person? I'd like to try it."

Yan Feng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow."

"it is good."

"Don't bring too many people, understand?" Lin Xi winked at him.

Yan Feng, who was usually sullen, smiled for once. "Don't worry, I know."

Lin Xi patted his shoulder like a little adult, "It's settled then, I'm leaving now."

He then grabbed Liu Yu and ran away.

Oh no, oh no, I'm going to be late...

On the way, I heard a system notification that 5000 Love Coins had been credited to my account.

It seems that without my intervention, this world would have lost a precious life.

……

The two ran breathlessly to the entrance of Fu Wenyuan's residential compound, where the security guard escorted Lin Xi inside.

Liu Yu stared in disbelief for a long time before turning and leaving.

That old man is so rich! Why is he dressed like a beggar?

The doorbell rang, and Fu Wenyuan opened it to find his little apprentice running around, covered in sweat.

"Why did you run like that?"

"Hey, driver, I... I'm afraid I'll be late..."

Respect for teachers is a tradition deeply ingrained in Lin Xi.

Fu Wenyuan picked up a tissue and wiped his little apprentice's sweat, looking at him with heartache.

"So what if you're late? I'm not going to make you stand as punishment."

If Gu Zheng knew, he would be furious.

Back then, if I was even a minute late, Fu Wenyuan would berate me for half an hour with incredibly elegant language.

After resting for a while, Lin Xi quickly got back into the zone.

"Master, let's begin. Look, this is the homework you gave me."

This is an article I'm submitting to my friend, and I'd like your feedback.

It must be said that Fu Wenyuan is extremely capable.

One can spot a person's weaknesses in writing at a glance.

Lin Xi's writing skills are already extraordinary for her age.

However, in Fu Wenyuan's view, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

The descriptions in many places are too detailed. Although they may easily resonate with readers, it is better to leave some room for the reader's imagination than to write lengthy articles.

After looking at it for a while, Fu Wenyuan said gently, "Xiao Xi, look, the problem I mentioned last time still exists. This part can actually be glossed over..."

Last time, Fu Wenyuan gave Lin Xi homework: to revise all the previous drafts.

Only by constantly refining and improving one's own work can one know the direction of progress.

Writing a lot is not as good as polishing a good piece.

Lin Xi always benefited greatly from her master's teachings, and looking back at her previous writings, she felt a little embarrassed.

At the time, I was quite pleased with myself, thinking it was a great achievement.

This is not Lin Xi's fault; Fu Wenyuan, as a top-tier writer in China, certainly has a very high standard.

The garbage he described was already considered quite good by ordinary people.

If he says it's just average, then it's excellent.

He's right, then you can have a place in the world of writers.

The whole morning was spent in discussion.

After lunch, Lin Xi went upstairs again to read.

Fu Wenyuan looked pleased; his little apprentice was truly worry-free.

Before leaving.

"Xiao Xi, you don't need to come over next week. Your second senior brother just called me. Xin Xin is coming to see you next week."

Oh, and I asked you to prepare some pickled vegetables; make sure to take a lot back with you.

"Hey, you're such a grown-up, and you're still so greedy."

"Perfect timing, disciple, you can prepare some for me too."

The old man didn't stand on ceremony at all, acting as if it were perfectly normal.

Lin Xi readily agreed, knowing her grandmother would be overjoyed.

main entrance.

Lin Xi immediately noticed the boy, whose face was red from the cold, rubbing his hands and peering inside.

She hurried over. "Brother, didn't we agree on a time? Why are you here so early?"

"It's alright, we just arrived. Let's go."

Could Liu Yu say he was worried, fearing that his sister had run away and done something earth-shattering again?

However, the two did not go home.

Lin Xi then dragged Liu Yu into the mall.

A big shopping spree.

One item on the left, one item on the right.

One pair on the left, one pair on the right.

"Okay, this one will do."

"Sure, sure, pack it up."

"This one is good too, let's take them together."

……

The salesperson couldn't stop smiling.

Liu Yu's face twitched with pain.

My sister is good at earning money, and she's also good at spending it.

Every time Lin Xi paid, he would sigh.

Lin Xi quietly called the salesperson aside when they passed a down jacket store.

He secretly pointed at Liu Yu, who was silently gazing at the sky.

"Get me a down jacket that my brother can wear, something thick."

The salesperson noticed that the girl was about the same age as her own daughter, so she leaned close to the girl's ear and couldn't help but say, "Little girl, it's getting warmer soon, you won't be able to wear these thick clothes for long."

"It's alright, it should last for a month."

The woman smiled kindly; the brother and sister had such a good relationship!

"Okay, it's on sale right now."

After the clothes were packed, the two finally left the mall.

Liu Yu took a deep breath.

Free air smells so good.

Given the speed at which his sister was spending money, he felt that every breath he took in the mall was worth paying for.

The two carried large bags and small packages home.

At the door, Lin Xi took out a beautifully packaged large bag. "Brother, this is yours."
