In the interrogation room, Li Qiumei and Ruan Dashan squatted in a corner, their injuries already simply bandaged.

"Officer, why is it that when she injured us, she only had to write a guarantee and leave? We have to be detained for another month!"

The police officer rolled his eyes at them. "You broke into a house and stole, and you think you're in the right?"

Li Qiumei retorted, "How is it burglary when we went to our own daughter's house?"

"Comrade Ruan went through all that hardship to give birth to three children, and when she was dying in the hospital, why didn't you say she was your daughter? Bah!"

Moreover, Comrade Ruan is a meritorious official in the bureau! He has made great contributions to the country! Anyone who dares to bully Comrade Ruan is truly courting death!

The police officers' fierceness terrified Li Qiumei and Ruan Dashan, who could only bury their heads and dare not say another word.

When their own daughter and son-in-law return, they will definitely take revenge on Ruan Tinghe's family for being such ingrates!

Ruan Tinghe quickly finished writing the guarantee, and the police officer glanced at it casually but was still amazed.

Everyone in the bureau knew that Ruan Tinghe was very good at painting, but they didn't expect her to write such beautiful and neat calligraphy. Her calligraphy was elegant and flowing.

Such an outstanding girl, how could her parents not cherish her? They're truly blind!

"Comrade Ruan, you can leave now."

The police officer took the guarantee and left first. Ruan Tinghe got up to leave, but then heard Li Qiumei's resentful voice behind her.

"Ruan Tinghe! How dare you treat us like this? Aren't you afraid we'll tell the police about your affair with another man and the birth of your illegitimate child? Having illicit relationships is a crime punishable by imprisonment!"

Ruan Tinghe's face darkened, and she raised her hand to slap Li Qiumei, but then realized that her arm was still injured, so she kicked the two of them a few times instead.

"Go ahead and tell me if you dare! Do you dare? It'll be a good opportunity to investigate how I was drugged and who the man was that night!"

Sure enough, Li Qiumei and Ruan Dashan immediately fell silent.

"Hmph! Coward!"

Ruan Tinghe scoffed and left the interrogation room. As soon as she came out, she saw Erbao clinging to Old Chen, acting cute and affectionate.

Upon seeing Ruan Tinghe, he immediately abandoned Lao Chen and ran over to hug her leg.

"Mom, aren't you going to ride?"

Erbao pouted and lectured Ruan Tinghe like an adult.

"I'm sorry, Mom made you worry."

Ruan Tinghe patted his little head, looked around, and asked, "Erbao, where are your brother and sister?"

"My little sister is hungry, so I'll take her to buy some steamed buns."

At this moment, on the street, Xiao Bao held a huge steamed bun in his hands, took a small bite, and exhaled a puff of hot air.

Da Bao was holding onto the bow on her clothes, and her short legs followed slowly.

Suddenly, Da Bao stopped, and Xiao Bao couldn't brake in time, bumping his head into his brother's back. His big, dark eyes instantly filled with tears.

"what……"

She gave a small groan, poked her head out, and saw her brother stop in front of a dirty, bruised, and strange uncle.

The strange uncle was dressed in tattered clothes, stained with blood, with a scraggly beard and a terrifying fresh scar on his brow. The black stitches looked like a centipede, ferocious and terrifying, like a fierce demon!

Xiao Bao only glanced at it before shrinking back behind his older brother, his little body trembling with fear.

I saw a ghost in broad daylight!

Why isn't my brother scared at all?!

Not only was Da Bao not afraid, but he also tugged at the strange uncle's sleeve, tilted his head up, and asked him very seriously, "Uncle, do you want a child?"

Shen Yan was dumbfounded by the question. He was just waiting for his teammates to pick him up by the roadside. How did the kid take a liking to him?

But this child is really good-looking, and his features look somewhat familiar.

"Uncle, do you want a wife?"

When the child saw that he didn't answer, he asked again, but something seemed off about his question.

Is this kid trying to sell himself and his mother?

They're quite cute.

Having been an undercover agent for too long, Shen Yan had developed a roguish air about him. He merely raised his hand to touch the child's head, but the gesture looked like he was about to hit him.

When Ruan Tinghe saw this scene while leading Erbao, her heart nearly jumped out of her chest. That street thug was tall and big; if he slapped Dabao, he'd be turned into a meat pie!

"stop!"

Ruan Tinghe spread her arms and stood between Da Bao and the man, her eyebrows furrowed, glaring fiercely at the man in front of her.

"Where did these human traffickers come from, daring to commit crimes right in front of the police station!"

"Tsk!"

Shen Yan's hand, which was originally going to land on Da Bao's head, instead grabbed Ruan Tinghe's chin and lifted it slightly. The two were quite different in height; when they stood together, Ruan Tinghe only reached his shoulder height.

He bent down slightly, leaned closer, and forced her to see him clearly.

"You just slept together, and you've already forgotten?"

Ruan Tinghe's face flushed as she realized who the man was.

How did he go from a cool, roguish young man to a slovenly middle-aged man in just a few days?

Covered in wounds and looking battle-damaged, could it be that his undercover identity was discovered and he was chased all the way here?

Ruan Tinghe instinctively broke free and pulled away while holding the child.

She can take risks, but children cannot!

Those gangsters are no pushovers!

"Who are you? I don't know you!"

Shen Yan knew what she was thinking and explained, "Don't be afraid, those people have all been sent to eat peanuts."

Ruan Tinghe was slightly taken aback; this speed was too fast!

She had only just released the map information when she wiped it all out?

A car slowly came to a stop, and a round, bronze-skinned face peered out of the driver's side window.

"Brother, let's go!"

Shen Yan got into the car and closed the window, but his gaze remained fixed on the three children, his eyes gradually turning cold.

Her and her husband's child is already so big!

She even had three children!

"Brother, do you know Comrade Ruan?"

While driving, Song Kaiyuan noticed that Shen Yan was staring at someone and couldn't help but feel curious.

Shen Yan didn't answer, but instead asked him, "You know her?"

"Of course, she's a celebrity, and she's an amazing painter! But she probably doesn't know me."

Song Kaiyuan was sent by his superiors to assist Shen Yan's undercover operation. Shen Yan was an undercover agent, and he was responsible for leading the team to cooperate outside. A few days ago, when Ruan Tinghe was asked to help pass on information, he was involved. However, his identity made it inconvenient for him to show his face, so Ruan Tinghe did not know him.

"She has three children?"

"Yes," Song Kaiyuan said with a gossipy look, "I heard they're triplets! It's so pitiful. The children's father died young, and it's really not easy for her to raise three children on her own. Otherwise, she wouldn't have risked her life to help us."

Shen Yan looked up abruptly. "Her husband is dead?"

"Yeah, that's what the police said. He's really unlucky. Such a beautiful wife and three adorable babies. Tsk tsk."

Song Kaiyuan said a lot more, but Shen Yan didn't listen. He only had one thought in his mind.

Her husband is dead!

"Brother, you've done a great job this time, shouldn't you be getting married soon? Your wife has been waiting for you at the military dependents' home for years!"

"Have you seen a picture of your son? Tsk tsk, he looks like a little pig, all white and chubby."

"If the mission hadn't been so urgent back then, you wouldn't be so old with your child and still not married."

"But since we've filed a marriage report, it counts as being married. You only didn't get the marriage certificate because you were on a mission."

"Don't worry, everyone in the military dependents' compound knows about this. No one will say anything bad about you, your sister-in-law, or your child."

Song Kaiyuan kept rambling on and on. Although the two brothers were on the same mission, they hadn't spoken a word to each other for years. Now that the mission was finally over, he just couldn't stop talking.

until……

"She's not my wife, I have nothing to do with her, and I'm not going back for the time being."

"Tsk tsk tsk, he's already had a child and still says it's okay, what a scumbag!"

"Wait?" With a sudden stop, Song Kaiyuan looked at Shen Yan in disbelief. "Brother, what did you just say? You said you weren't going back?"

Suddenly, he thought of something else, and his face turned extremely ugly.

"Brother, tell me honestly, that night, you and Comrade Ruan really didn't do anything?"
