Sheriff Uncle, open the door quickly! I've come to solve a case!

"Is the other team cheating? How come they're getting headshots with every shot?"

Inside the smoke-filled rented room, several men sat barefoot on chairs, banging their keyboards loudly.

A guy who had just been headshot in a shooting game threw the mouse aside, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and watched the game go on.

Only one incongruous young man, sitting with his legs crossed and not smoking, scoffed upon hearing this: "Is it because you're old and slow-witted that you're saying this, and you can't dodge it?"

"You never said that before when feeding Sun Heng!"

"I didn't know you guys were so old before. I thought you were all newbies. Now I understand."

"Go to hell!"

The older brother wasn't really angry; he and Sun Heng were bickering and fighting all the while.

The other man took over the mess, then pulled them apart with a speechless expression: "How old are you? Still acting like children."

When the two got tired of fighting, they sat on the ground and looked at each other.

The older brother, who had been arguing with Sun Heng, suddenly became a little worried: "Sun Heng, are we really sure it's okay to do this?"

"Seeing your parents like this, I can't really describe how I feel. What if they're too reluctant to spend the money and call the police?"

Sun Heng's shoulders slumped, his expression somewhat forlorn: "Don't worry, if they really call the police, I'll take full responsibility. You haven't done anything wrong, and the money will be paid to you as agreed."

"Sigh..." The eldest brother sighed and patted Sun Heng on the shoulder: "We didn't come here for the money. We're all brothers. We just wanted to help you. We're so old, it doesn't make any sense for us to ask a kid for money."

"I hope your parents will care about you more when you go back this time."

Sun Heng was deeply moved, never expecting that even his biological parents wouldn't care about him as much as his friends of five years whom he had met in the game: "Thank you, I'll cover the gun skins for you from now on."

"That sounds good, hahaha!"

"Knock knock knock!"

There was a gentle knock on the door of the rented room.

The group immediately became alert.

Sun Heng slowly approached the door, while the other brothers turned off their games and stood cautiously behind him, observing.

Hello Flash Delivery!

Sun Heng looked through the peephole and saw a dark-skinned man in a Flash Delivery uniform standing at the door.

He opened the door a crack, revealing a wary eye.

The delivery guy immediately smiled at him and said, "Hello, Flash Delivery. Could you please give me your pickup code?"

After confirming that it was indeed the Flash Delivery guy, Sun Heng breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up, and opened the door.

The moment the door was opened, several police officers rushed out and forcibly broke it open. In the blink of an eye, everyone inside was subdued by the police.

Before he could even utter the curse, Sun Heng was pinned down and unable to move.

"Hands up!"

"Stand in a line!"

The deliveryman was so frightened by what he saw that he backed away repeatedly.

He took two steps back and bumped into a solid chest. When he looked up, he saw that it was Qin Qingzhou, who was the most frightening person there.

"Um, may I go now? I still have orders to deliver..."

"Okay, but you can't tell anyone about what happened today."

"Okay!" The young man dashed off in a flash.

Sun Heng and his three older brothers stood sullenly by the wall, Sun Heng's eyes still fixed on the two suitcases on the ground.

Qin Qingzhou walked up to Sun Heng, looked him over to make sure he wasn't injured, and asked, "Sun Heng, right?"

"My parents sent you, didn't they?" Sun Heng said in a rather unfriendly tone.

Now all he can think about is why he wasn't more careful?

I still held onto the hope that my parents wouldn't call the police for money.

Now look what's happened. He's been caught red-handed by the police. When he goes back to face those two, they'll probably ignore him even more.

"no."

Sun Heng paused for a moment, then looked up at Qin Qingzhou in disbelief.

"The person who asked me for help was someone else, not your parents."

"Actually, your parents also contacted me, but unfortunately, they withdrew their police report just half an hour ago."

Sun Heng lowered his head again: "I knew it..."

"Officer, I orchestrated all of this. The guys next to me know nothing; I hired them. This has nothing to do with them. Can you let them go?"

Qin Qingzhou looked at him quietly: "Do you know what crime you're suspected of committing after taking on this case?"

"Although you faked the kidnapping, you still committed fraud and extortion, which carries a sentence of three to seven years in prison."

Sun Heng lowered his head, his bangs obscuring his eyes, making it impossible to see his emotions: "Hmm..."

Perhaps this is the best way.

Will his parents love him more after he's been in prison for so long?

Qin Qingzhou looked at the other police officers: "Take them away."

The older brothers looked at Sun Heng with concern, and did not resist when the police took him away.

Sun Heng was completely too weak to speak, his voice filled with disappointment: "Officer, you'll tell my parents about this, right?"

"Yes, guardians have the right to know the truth."

What will his parents think of him if they find out?

"But not now."

"What?" Sun Heng looked up in confusion.

Qin Qingzhou looked indifferent, a faint smile playing on her lips: "I told you, your parents withdrew their police report."

"From our police's perspective, you are now a suspect whose parents are unknown. The police need to question you and conduct DNA testing to find out who your parents are."

"And we'll also need to interrogate you."

"This process should take until around 5 a.m. tomorrow."

Sun Heng's eyes slowly brightened, and he nodded vigorously: "I will cooperate with the police investigation!"

His gaze then turned to confusion: "Officer, you said someone came to me for help, but... I don't have any friends?"

"They're not even human."

Qin Qingzhou turned her head and called out towards the door, "Zhizhi."

Bai Zhizhi's round little head peeked out from the doorway, her round eyes were very cute.

In order not to disturb the police officers' work, she waited in the corridor the whole time.

"Uncle Captain Qin! Zhizhi's here!" Bai Zhizhi strode in with unsteady steps, meeting Sun Heng's eyes filled with doubt: "Hello, brother~"

Sun Heng was even more puzzled; he didn't recognize the child either.

Bai Zhizhi grabbed his hand and tugged at it: "Brother, squat down."

Sun Heng squatted down, and a soft little hand touched his eyes.

He instinctively closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a familiar dog bark preceded the light.

"Woof!"

As soon as Sun Heng opened his eyes, he saw a little white dog standing in front of him, wagging its tail wildly.

"Sugar Baby?"

"dad!"

"Whoa!" Sun Heng was startled and lost his balance, falling to the ground.

Wasn't his dog beaten to death?

Why is a dead dog still jumping around here?

"Don't be afraid, brother. It was Zhizhi who made it possible for Tangbao to talk to you."

"Daddy, I'm so glad you're okay! I was so worried about you!"

Tangbao was so happy that she spun around in place, but because one of her legs was broken, she could only limp.

"Sugar Baby, what happened to your leg?"

"Sugar Baby fought the bad guys to protect her dad!"

"But Tangbao was too weak and couldn't protect her dad properly..."
