Solving the case: Combining the police dog's olfactory genes at the beginning
Chapter 1226 Witness
Luo Fei looked around and sure enough, he saw a group of children of all ages staring at them with wide, curious eyes.
He had a sudden inspiration and said loudly to the children with a smile, "Kids, Uncle has asked Auntie to do something for you. Turn your heads away and don't peek! Whoever behaves will get a hundred yuan to buy candy!"
As soon as the words were spoken, more than a dozen children turned around in unison, their backs to them. A few clever little ones urged, "Uncles and aunties, hurry up and kiss us! We promise we won't look!"
Luo Fei laughed heartily, seized the opportunity to pull Chen Xuanran into his arms, and kissed him deeply. Chen Xuanran struggled symbolically for a moment, then melted into the sweet kiss.
After the orphanage matter was basically settled, Luo Fei led the members of the special case team back to Jiangcheng.
Back in his familiar office, Luo Fei noticed that his team members all seemed to look much better than before, with a kind of... radiant glow on their faces? He asked them about it out of curiosity.
It was only after asking that I learned that during his absence, almost everyone in the group had found a partner!
Chen Yifan and forensic doctor Zeng Mengxue got together, and their relationship developed very quickly. After get off work, Chen Yifan often stayed out all night. Wu Peixiong and Zhou Xiaobei also found girlfriends. Even Wang Feifei shyly revealed that he was dating a policewoman.
Everyone joked that Director Luo was the one who led the way to happiness, and they all shared in the joy.
With their partners around, the morale of the entire special task force improved significantly. Chen Yifan often joked with Yuan Bingyan, who was still single, which made Yuan Bingyan glare at him in annoyance.
When Yuan Bingyan learned that Luo Fei had officially proposed to Chen Xuanran, her eyes dimmed for a moment, but then she was completely relieved, and the inappropriate thoughts in her heart finally disappeared.
After returning home, Chen Xuanran immediately told her parents about Luo Fei's marriage proposal.
When Mr. and Mrs. Chen heard the news, they were overjoyed and wholeheartedly agreed!
Luo Fei is now the director of the 18th Bureau of the State Security Department of the Great Xia Dynasty. He has status, ability, and money... Judging from how he can easily set up a multi-billion dollar foundation, he is definitely not short of money!
Such a son-in-law is like a golden turtle falling from the sky, how could they not agree?
Aunt Li Guo was also very happy. She felt that after Luo Fei became her niece's husband, her status in the family would rise significantly, and she would be able to sit on equal footing with that relative who always showed off his son-in-law Zhou Gang!
Chen Hao, however, had the most complicated feelings. She was the one who first took a liking to Luo Fei, and even had some ulterior motives at the time. Unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, Luo Fei was now going to become her brother-in-law. She was happy for her sister, but she couldn't help feeling a little lost and sour.
While the family was chatting together, Mr. Chen couldn't help but tease his eldest daughter: "Xiao Hao only chose Luo Fei because he was handsome!"
Chen's mother held Chen Xuanran's hand and asked with concern, "Did you agree to his proposal back then? You can't be a girl and just say yes as soon as someone proposes. You have to be more reserved!"
Chen Xuanran said somewhat embarrassedly, "I... I said I needed to come back first to discuss it with you..."
Chen Hao, speaking from experience, advised her sister, "Xuanran, marriage is a big deal. Don't be like me back then, acting impulsively on a whim. You have to think it through carefully."
As she spoke, her tone was filled with disdain for her husband, Zhang Yong. "Look at your brother-in-law, he has no money, no ability, and after ten years at the company he's still just an ordinary employee, not even a department manager! After so many years of marriage, he can't even have a child. I bet it's his problem!"
Her voice wasn't quiet, and Zhang Yong, who had just come out of the study to pour himself a glass of water, heard it clearly. Zhang Yong's face instantly turned extremely pale, and his hand holding the water glass trembled slightly.
When Chen Hao saw Zhang Yong come out, she not only didn't calm down, but became more and more agitated, venting all the resentment she had accumulated over the years: "His salary is so low, and most of the down payment for the house was paid by my family! All he does is stay at home reading those useless books, he has no ambition at all! I think my life is ruined by him!"
Zhang Yong couldn't hold back any longer. He slammed his water glass down on the table with a loud bang, and retorted with a livid face, "Chen Hao! That's enough! Yes, I'm incompetent! My salary is low! I can't get promoted! But can you blame me entirely for the child's problems? Why don't you go to the hospital and get yourself checked out?!"
"You!" Chen Hao was taken aback, then flew into a rage, pointing at Zhang Yong's nose and yelling, "Zhang Yong! You think you've got guts now?! You dare talk back to me?! I can't live like this anymore! Divorce! We have to get a divorce!"
"Fine, let's get a divorce! Anyone who doesn't is a coward!" Zhang Yong was completely enraged, his blood boiling, and he blurted out.
Chen Hao was furious. Upon hearing this, she immediately rushed into the bedroom, rummaged through drawers and cabinets, found the household registration book and marriage certificate, and slammed them in front of Zhang Yong: "Let's go! To the Civil Affairs Bureau right now! Anyone who doesn't go is a bastard!"
Seeing this, Mr. and Mrs. Chen panicked and rushed forward to stop them: "Hey! What are you two doing! Why are you talking about divorce! Put your things down!"
"Yes, yes, Xiao Hao, Xiao Yong, we're all family. Let's talk things out and not be impulsive!"
Chen Xuanran hurriedly advised, "Brother-in-law, sister, calm down! Don't do anything foolish because of a fit of pique!"
However, the two were too angry to listen to any advice. One was determined to think the other was a coward and that they couldn't live together anymore; the other felt that his dignity had been shattered and he had had enough of being belittled.
The two glared at each other, both insisting on getting a divorce.
Chen's parents and Chen Xuanran stared in disbelief as Chen Hao and Zhang Yong stormed out of the house and headed straight for the Civil Affairs Bureau, unable to stop them.
No one expected that Zhang Yong, who was usually mild-mannered and even somewhat timid, would suddenly erupt in such a forceful manner.
"Sigh...this family...is falling apart..." Mr. Chen slumped onto the sofa, letting out a heavy sigh, his face filled with helplessness and exhaustion.
Aunt Chen also looked worried, muttering, "It was supposed to be a good thing for Xiao Ran and Luo Fei... how did it turn out like this in the blink of an eye? Does this mean they'll be a couple who get married and another couple who get divorced? A good thing has turned into a bad thing?"
Chen Xuanran was completely stunned, her mind blank. She had happily returned home to discuss her marriage with Luo Fei with her parents, never expecting things to turn out this way, directly igniting years of pent-up conflict between her sister and brother-in-law, leading them to decide to divorce on the spot!
She looked at her parents with a bewildered expression, her voice trembling slightly: "Dad, Mom... then... then will my marriage with Luo Fei still go ahead?"
Mr. and Mrs. Chen exchanged a glance, both looking troubled. Mrs. Chen hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Xiao Ran... look at the situation now... your sister and brother-in-law are going through a divorce, and she's definitely emotionally unstable. If you hold a wedding now, it might upset her, and what if she does something foolish? I think... maybe we should... postpone it for now?"
Mr. Chen nodded in agreement: "Yes, you know your sister's temper. She's strong-willed and prone to overthinking. She's in a bad mood right now, and if she sees you getting married in such a grand way, she'll definitely feel even more resentful. Let's wait until she calms down and accepts reality before we talk about it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuanran felt a chill run down his spine.
She suddenly remembered the nightmare she'd had before—in the dream, her sister was making a scene at her wedding, even overturning the table… Was that dream really going to come true? She even had a thought: maybe… she should just reject Luo Fei to avoid further trouble at home…
"No!" Chen Ma seemed to have seen through her thoughts and immediately interrupted her. "Luo Fei is such a good boy! You can't be foolish! Just tell Luo Fei that there are some things going on at home recently, so the wedding isn't in a rush. We can talk about it later. If he truly cares about you, he'll definitely understand."
Chen Xuanran opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed his words and nodded helplessly: "Okay... I'll listen to you."
At this moment, Chen's father seemed to remember something and couldn't help but complain, "If you ask me, Xiao Hao is the way she is today because your mother spoiled her! She's always had whatever she wanted since she was little, and she can't stand the slightest grievance. Now look what's happened! She bosses her own husband around. What man can stand that?"
Upon hearing this, Chen's mother immediately became displeased, glaring at her and retorting, "Hey! You old fool! How come you're blaming me again? Did I give birth to our daughter alone? Don't you have any responsibility? How much have you cared for her? And now you're blaming me!"
Mr. Chen also got angry, raising his voice eight octaves: "How could I not care? Does she even listen to me? Her words, her condescending tone, are exactly the same as when you used to scold me! She learned it all from you! She's been influenced by what she sees and hears!"
These words struck a nerve with Chen's mother, who suddenly stood up and pointed at Chen's father, cursing him.
"Chen Jianguo! What do you mean?! What did I say to you back then? Huh? Wasn't what I said true? Look at you! You've been a fishmonger your whole life! Have you ever been anything but successful? What can you do with your cronies besides drinking and bragging? How much have you ever cared about the family? If it weren't for me managing everything inside and out, this family would have fallen apart long ago!"
"What's wrong with selling fish? Does selling fish disgrace you? I earn my living with my own hands, honestly and uprightly!"
Mr. Chen was also enraged, and his pent-up resentment exploded instantly, "I've had enough of you! You nag all the time! It never ends! Divorce! I'm divorcing you too! I've had enough of this life!"
"Fine, let's get a divorce! Who's afraid of who!" Chen's mother was furious and shouted defiantly, "I've had enough of you, you good-for-nothing!"
Chen Xuanran was stunned by this sudden turn of events. She never expected that her attempts to persuade them would lead to her parents also arguing about getting a divorce! She hurriedly stepped forward and pulled them aside: "Dad! Mom! What are you doing! Say less! My sister's situation is already chaotic enough, don't make it worse!"
The two were too angry to listen to anything. Chen's mother flung Chen Xuanran's hand away and yelled at Chen's father, "Let's go! Get the household registration book! We're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau right now! Anyone who doesn't go is a coward!"
Mr. Chen was determined and turned to look for the household registration book. He discovered that Chen Hao had taken it!
"Xiao Hao took the household registration book!" Chen's father said angrily.
"Then bring your ID card!" Chen's mother persisted. "You can get a divorce with just your ID card these days! Let's go! Perfect! Let's go get divorced together with your daughter and son-in-law!"
Chen Xuanran was almost in tears, clutching his mother's arm tightly: "Mom! Stop it! Dad! Please talk to Mom!"
Chen's mother struggled to break free from Chen Xuanran, and instead glared suspiciously at Chen's father: "Chen Jianguo, you agreed to the divorce so readily, did you already find someone else? Tell me! Is it that old Mrs. Li downstairs who dances in the square with you every day?"
Mr. Chen was so angry that his face turned pale: "What nonsense are you talking about! Old Mrs. Li has a husband!"
"Then it must be something else! Anyway, you've been running around every day lately, it can't be anything good!" The more Chen's mother spoke, the more suspicious she became. "Let me tell you, even after the divorce, with my looks and appearance, I can still have suitors if I dress up! You'll regret it!"
Mr. Chen was so angry he laughed: "Ha! Are all the guys chasing you old men who do square dancing? Several young women downstairs are even fighting over me to dance with them! I'm divorced, any one of them would be better than you!"
He didn't forget to turn back to the dumbfounded Chen Xuanran and say, "Xiaoran, you must never be like your mother! From now on, live well with Luo Fei! Your father and mother are the bad example!"
“Yes! A negative example!” Chen’s mother chimed in defiantly.
After saying that, neither of them would back down, and they went out together, arguing loudly, seemingly really going to the Civil Affairs Bureau!
Chen Xuanran was left alone in the living room, staring at the empty house and listening to his parents arguing in the distance. He was completely stunned and couldn't come to his senses for a long time.
When she realized what was happening and rushed out of the house, she saw that Mr. and Mrs. Chen had already boarded a bus, and it seemed that they were really going to the Civil Affairs Bureau!
Chen Xuanran hurriedly took out his phone, and the first thing he thought of was calling his uncle Li Guo for help.
The call connected quickly, and Li Guo's cheerful voice came through: "Hey? Xiao Ran! Have you and Luo Fei decided on a date? When are you going to get your marriage certificate? Your uncle will give you a big red envelope!"
With a sob in her voice, Chen Xuanran cried out urgently, "Uncle! No! Something terrible has happened! My dad, my mom, my sister, my brother-in-law... they... the four of them went to the Civil Affairs Bureau together!"
"Huh?" Li Guo was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding. "A group? What for? To register you two as witnesses?"
"No!" Chen Xuanran was almost in tears. "They're going to get a divorce! To get a divorce certificate!"
"What?!" Li Guo's voice on the other end of the phone rose eight octaves instantly, filled with shock and disbelief. "Divorce?! And a group?! Four people together?! What... what's going on?!" (End of Chapter)
