Chapter 105 This family is either me or her, or her or me!

The reason for mentioning Minister Jiang is to hope that the police department will take this case seriously, since my cousin-in-law has a superior with a higher position.

"Minister Jiang?" Officer Su's eyes widened, and then his gaze fell on Wen Ci. He had once had the honor of attending a military region meeting and meeting Minister Jiang.

The girl in front of me looks somewhat similar to Jiang.

Officer Su asked curiously, "Why didn't you ask the military region for help? Logically speaking, the military region should be in charge of this matter more; our police station is just assisting."

Wen Ci suddenly remembered that in the 1980s, soldiers had a higher status than police officers, and most of the police officers on duty were retired soldiers who had switched careers.

Officer Su continued, "Unlike military camps, police stations across the country can't communicate with each other with just a phone call. Cases involving cross-provincial issues are difficult to handle."

Officer Su then looked at Xiao Chuan and said, "If it's confirmed that this child has no family, he will likely still be sent to a children's welfare home in the end."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chuan shook her head frantically, pouted, and her eyes reddened. She tugged at Wen Ci's sleeve and said, "I don't want to go to the orphanage. Sister, I don't want to go to the orphanage."

Wen Ci asked, "Is going to an orphanage the only option?"

"Adoption is possible." Officer Su paused, his expression becoming serious. "The authorities are cracking down on birth control now. Each family can only have one child. Generally, only families with fertility problems will adopt; otherwise, they won't be able to obtain a birth permit in the future."

Wen Ci's eyelids drooped slightly.

He pondered whether or not to go back to the Jiang family home.

As a high-ranking official at the ministerial level, Jiang Zhenjun's mere words are enough to ensure that the case of child trafficking receives high attention from his subordinates, and it is estimated that the case will be solved in no time.

only……

Wen Ci sighed calmly.

To date, she has only met her biological father once, and that was with Huo Jingyuan. She felt a kind of physical aversion to him.

Xue Li asked, "Then, sister-in-law, are we going back to the military region?"

"Go back."

After leaving the police station, Xue Li drove to the Beijing Military Region building. He chatted familiarly with the soldier on guard duty in the guard room: "Brother, is Minister Jiang at work yet?"

"No."

Xue Li turned his head back and said, "Sister-in-law, Minister Jiang hasn't come to the military camp yet. He's probably on leave at home. Shall we go to your house now?"

"Need not."

As she spoke, Wen Ci opened the back door of the car, letting Xiao Chuan get out first, and then explained, "It's not far from the family compound, Xiao Chuan and I can walk back. Besides, Yu Qing is still staying at your house."

"Ok."

Wen Ci: "Be careful on the road."

·
The military camp is a ten-minute walk from the family compound. As the sun gradually rises, it dispels the dark clouds, and the temperature rises accordingly.

At this time, the Jiang family.

Jiang Ye stood in the living room, her eyes welling up with tears, her lips trembling, and she said in a sob, "I really know I was wrong."

Jiang Chen chimed in, "Mom, Xiao Yezi is young and impetuous. She makes mistakes occasionally. As elders, we should be tolerant and forgiving of her."

Su Guilan glanced coldly at Jiang Ye, then turned her gaze to Jiang Chen, who had chimed in, and said in a cold voice, "Didn't you say yesterday that you weren't coming back?"

"I……"

Jiang Chen was speechless for a moment.

Jiang Zhenjun listened to their conversation without saying a word, sitting on the sofa smoking, his indifferent expression speaking volumes about his attitude.

All the outside world knows is that his daughter married Huo Jingyuan.

Soon, the atmosphere in the living room fell silent.

Just as Jiang Chen was about to speak to ease the tension, the doorbell rang suddenly, breaking the silence. "Jiang Ye, go upstairs. Jiang Chen, go open the door."

As the head of the family, Jiang Zhenjun spoke up.

Su Guilan composed herself. Jiang Chen reluctantly went to open the door.

When the door opened, what came into his view was Wen Ci leading a little toddler. Jiang Chen's first reaction was bewilderment.

Why is Wen Ci here?

And whose child is she with?
Before she could even ask why she was there, Su Guilan, who was sitting on the sofa, saw Wen Ci's figure and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Aci is here."

Wen Ci pursed her lips, and somewhat reluctantly called out, "Mom."

Su Guilan beamed and invited Wen Ci into the house. Then she noticed the little child next to her and jokingly asked, "Is this the kid from our neighbor in the Northwest?"

When I went to the canteen to get breakfast this morning, I ran into some old acquaintances from the military region and chatted for a bit. They said they saw their daughters bringing back the children of the Northwest Military Commander.

"No," Wen Ci shook her head in denial.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen curled her lips in a mocking smile and said unhurriedly, "He wouldn't happen to be your illegitimate child born in the countryside, would he?"

Before the last word had even finished, Wen Ci raised her hand without a word and slapped him hard across the face, saying in a calm voice, "Is this the upbringing of the Jiang family?"

Then, Su Guilan also raised her hand and slapped Jiang Chen.

Her eyes showed incomprehension. How could someone just casually utter words like "wild child"? This was defaming her own sister's reputation.

Jiang Chen was stunned by the two slaps in succession.

He covered his face, staring at his mother in disbelief, and chuckled inexplicably: "Mom, you hit me? And for an outsider?"

From childhood to adulthood, he was the pride of the military compound.

This is the first time I've been hit.

Su Guilan said angrily, "How could you say that about your sister?"

"She's not my sister."

Hearing the commotion upstairs, Jiang Ye thought it over carefully. Now that Su Guilan had given up on her, the most urgent thing was to keep Jiang Chen, her 'brother', in check.

Even without the support of the Jiang family.

As long as Jiang Chen is around, all the Jiang family's wealth will still belong to him in the future.

She held back her tears, hurriedly ran downstairs, looked at the handprints on Jiang Chen's left and right sides, and stood protectively in front of him: "You can hit me if you want, but don't hit my brother."

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have stayed at home and taken on the role of the older sister. But my brother did nothing wrong, you shouldn't have hit him."

Wen Ci smiled.

I had originally hoped that Jiang Ye could be a good teacher in the Northwest.

But as soon as I returned, she followed me back.

Obviously he has no good intentions.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, pointed at Wen Ci, and said through gritted teeth, "From now on, this family will be either me or her!"

As he spoke, he took Jiang Ye's hand. "Let's go."

Jiang Ye was forcibly pulled away by Jiang Chen. She turned back to look at Su Guilan and gave an apologetic smile: "I will try my best to persuade my brother."

As soon as the two left, the Jiang family returned to peace.

Hearing her son's resolute tone, Su Guilan felt a pang of sadness.

Aci and Xiaochen are both flesh and blood that fell from my body.

She couldn't bear to part with anyone, no matter who it was!
Jiang Zhenjun raised his hand and stubbed out the cigarette, his gaze falling on Wen Ci. He said in a low voice, "You brought this child home. Is there something you need me to do for you?"

"Yes," Wen Ci readily admitted.
