I'm only five years old, how come I've become the military region's darling?

Xiao Chun felt a chill run down her spine from that faint voice.

"Really? Xiaochun, can you show me how to row?"

Ruan Xiaochun tried to refuse, "Captain Xing, I just learned how to draw this afternoon."

As she spoke, she stepped on Ruan Jianhua's foot with her little foot, saying, "Dad, please don't let the skin on your feet get bald."

"Oh, Xiaochun, it's perfect that you're here. I just told my senior brother, and he's leaving tomorrow. By the way, the drawing you did just now was really good. I'll show it to my senior brother later."

Shen Huaishan sensed something was wrong. "Old Xing, what's wrong? Why the long face?"

Xing Yong smiled. "Let me see what you've drawn."

"Tiananmen Square, look at it."

Xing Yong took the drawing paper and looked at the Tiananmen Square drawn in pencil. He had to admit it was quite good, and the drawing was quite realistic. However, the more Xing Yong looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.

Isn't that Tiananmen Square behind the Great Unity?!

With his mind buzzing, Xing Yong questioned Shen Huaishan, "Did you teach her?"

"I taught her! Xiaochun is incredibly talented. I just explained some details about calligraphy and painting forgery to her, and she was able to grasp it perfectly. She's a genius, Lao Xing!"

Forgery of calligraphy and painting?

To integrate and apply knowledge?

Xing Yong gritted his teeth. So, unlocking the door and forging wasn't enough for her; she was going to make her produce counterfeit money, was she?

Shen Huaishan noticed that Xing Yong's face was inexplicably as black as the bottom of a pot, and cold air was emanating from him.

"Old Xing, what's wrong with you?"

Xing Yong gave a forced smile and said, "Come into my office with me."

Next, a loud howling sound came from inside, and Xiaochun was so frightened that she shrank her head into Ruan Jianhua's arms.

She didn't want to either, but after learning so much about document forgery in the afternoon, she only had to practice a few times at the police station before her proficiency level was maxed out, directly upgrading to intermediate skill and unlocking the skill of forging calligraphy and paintings.

A storm raged in the office for an hour.

Niu Qiaobao rushed into the office like a whirlwind. "Captain Criminal Investigation, we found out. A neighbor saw an old lady going to Chen Meimei's place every few days. Another neighbor said that she used to live in Hongliu Village outside the city. And just now, Xiao Tao contacted the police in Xu Fangfang's hometown. Her mother said that she went to visit relatives and hasn't been home for the past two months."

The situation is now clear: Chen Meimei is very likely being controlled by the Xu family.

"Everyone assemble, proceed to Red Willow Village."

Downstairs, Zhou Dajuan, exhausted from being questioned, asked Xing Yong and his team, "Officer, is there any news about Meimei?"

Zhou's mother held him tightly, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, "Take me with you, I want to go too."

Xing Yong looked at Zhou's mother, who was on the verge of collapse, and wanted to say something about danger.

But looking into her pleading eyes, the words stuck in his throat.

"Captain Xing, my dad and I are watching over Aunt Zhou."

Xiaochun helped Aunt Zhou to swear, "We won't cause you any trouble."

"Get on the bus. Remember, once we arrive, do not act impulsively, and follow all instructions."

The police station's only police car sped through the twilight.

Time passed second by second, and Xiaochun's hand, which was being held by Aunt Zhou, was sweating. "Auntie, Sister Meimei will be alright."

"Squad leader, we've arrived ahead."

In Hongliu Village, in a dilapidated courtyard, an old woman wearing a faded blue jacket carried a dirty bucket and walked towards the cowshed.

The door creaked open, revealing a nauseating odor emanating from the dimly lit, dilapidated shed.

On a messy haystack in the corner, a woman looked like a dying rag doll. You could vaguely see the rise and fall of her chest. The woman was so thin that her belly was bulging. Her hands and feet were tightly bound with rope, like an animal at the mercy of others.

When she saw someone come in, her cloudy eyes instinctively darted around, but she didn't even make a sound.

Chen Meimei wanted to die, but she didn't even have the chance.

"You little slut, once you give birth to this child, I'll sell you to those old widowers in the mountains, you worthless slut."

The old woman's eyes were filled with hatred. This bitch killed her son. If it weren't for the fact that she was pregnant, she would have torn this bitch to pieces long ago.

"Have a meal!"

The old woman pinched her mouth shut and used a spoon to force-feed the stale food into her mouth.

"Eat, give me some."

Chen Meimei kept her mouth tightly shut. She never imagined that a blind date would become the source of her nightmare. Why was she being treated like this? What had she done wrong?

Tears streamed down my face.

She hated it so much.

Despair overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.

"Eat, eat, give some to your mother."

Grandma Xu frantically pried open her mouth and poured the contents in, while Chen Meimei bit down on her tiger's mouth.

"Ah—you bitch, let go of me!"

Chen Meimei refused to let it go.

Enraged, the old woman picked up a brick and smashed it down on her head.

Seeing Chen Meimei lying on the ground, his expression changed. "Bitch, little bitch."

Just then, with a "bang," a group of people rushed in.

Everyone who saw this was stunned.

The piercing wail shattered the sky.

"Beautiful, beautiful..."

When Chen Meimei was confused, she seemed to see her mother.

The sound faded into the distance.

With bloodshot eyes, Xing Yong roared, "Get him to the hospital right away!"

"Meimei, my Meimei." Zhou's mother collapsed and knelt beside her daughter.

"This is my daughter-in-law, you can't take her away." Before Old Mrs. Xu could finish speaking, Zhou Dajuan pounced like a tiger, yelling, "You hit my daughter, I'll kill you!"

Zhou's mother grabbed the other person as if she had gone mad.

She would kill anyone who bullied her daughter.

"Auntie, Meimei is bleeding! You need to go to the hospital with her right away."

When Zhou's mother came to her senses, seeing her bruised daughter and the profuse bleeding beneath her, large tears streamed down her face. "My Meimei, Mom's here, Mom's here."

"Get to the hospital quickly."

The police cars, wailing and wailing, sped away.

Xing Yong's expression was serious. "Take him away."

"Officer, we found a man's body on the bed inside. It should be Xu Xiaoshan."

The major crime unit of the Tanshui City Public Security Bureau was brightly lit.

Xing Yong and his men interrogated Xu Fangfang overnight.

Under the stark white light of the incandescent bulb, Xu Fangfang forced herself to remain calm.

"Officer, didn't we just interrogate them during the day?"

Xing Yong threw a stack of photos in front of her, and Xu Fangfang's pupils contracted.

"Your mother said Chen Meimei stabbed Xu Xiaoshan to death, but the forensic examination determined that his cause of death was asphyxiation. What do you think your mother would do to you if she knew that you killed your brother with your own hands?"

Xu Fangfang swallowed hard and suddenly released her hands.

"He was asking for it."

That day, after Xu Xiaoshan's identity was exposed, he tried to force himself on Chen Meimei.

When Chen Meimei retaliated, she stabbed him with a knife. Just then, Xu Fangfang arrived. Fearing that her actions would be exposed, she knocked Chen Meimei unconscious. At this moment, Xu Xiaoshan woke up and cursed Xu Fangfang along with him.

"Xu Fangfang, it was you who came up with this terrible idea. I'll make Mom marry you off to an old widower when I get back. You still want to be an official's wife? I think you're just destined for a worthless life..."

Enraged, Xu Fangfang picked up a rope and strangled Xu Xiaoshan to death.

Later, worried that Xu's mother would cause trouble, she used Chen Meimei's child to appease her.

I plan to deal with Chen Meimei later.

Unexpectedly, Zhou's mother returned looking for him halfway through.

After an all-night interrogation, the case of Chen Meimei's disappearance was finally solved. When Xu's mother learned that her son was killed by her daughter, she was completely stunned and kept cursing her as a bitch.

However, both she and Xu Fangfang were arrested. Other details will be added later when Chen Meimei recovers.

Xing Yong went to the hospital, and Xiao Chun and Ruan Jianhua were sitting forlornly in chairs.

"Have something to eat."

Xiao Chun took the steamed bun, her mood very bad. "Captain Xing, Sister Meimei will never be able to have children again. Why are good people always the ones who get hurt?"

Xing Yong looked at her distraught appearance.

He patted her head from behind and said, "It won't always be like this. Justice may be delayed, but it will always arrive."

"If Chen Meimei can do it, your father can too."

"Really?"

Xing Yong met her wet, round eyes and nodded firmly.

"Of course, when I arrived this morning, the latest public security technology documents were sent from Beijing. Xiaochun, the technical guidance document on the identification of handwriting changes over time has arrived at the bureau. Shen Huaishan's senior brother left from Beijing this morning and will arrive tomorrow."
