Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 479 So you've always treated him like a woman
The sudden change in the Sichuan girl stunned everyone around her.

Of course, apart from Director Wang, no one knew what they had encountered in the past few days, but they could all see that the person in front of them seemed to have changed.

It's worth noting that Chuanmei had been growing her hair for a long time. Her initial idea was to use her own hair instead of a wig, completely follow Li Shiya's path, gain traffic, increase followers, and eventually make big money from advertising. If her account hadn't been on the rise, she would have already started live-streaming e-commerce.

After all, the most profitable online influencers are those who sell products through live streaming. Aside from the uncles shouting "Go for it!", who doesn't want to make a lot of money, achieve financial freedom, and drive a Ferrari with one hand after plunging into the self-media arena? The Sichuan girl is no exception.

But this trip to find her relatives led Chuanmei to cut off her hair, which she had been growing for a long time, and she even said that Li Shiya was being unreasonable.

Of course, he doesn't want Li Shiya to disappear immediately. After all, a transition period is needed. You know, a considerable portion of his current fans are still die-hard fans of Li Shiya, and he needs this popularity to support his actions.

It's just that Li Shiya's importance has been adjusted to a lower level; she's no longer his main focus.

That evening, everyone ate together. Miss Yuan treated everyone to a welcome dinner for Chuanmei and Director Wang.

During the meal, everyone learned what had happened during their business trip.

"Isn't this a good thing? A happy ending, how wonderful!"

Inside a mushroom hot pot restaurant near the school, He Xiaoyue ate while speaking.

Upon hearing this, apart from her, the others remained silent, clearly understanding how Chuanmei felt at the time.

"Chuanzi, everyone has their own path. There's not much you can do. You can't let the unfortunate experience of one person deprive others who want to reunite with their biological parents of hope, can you?"
Moreover, although the situation is difficult for the person involved, his biological parents did nothing wrong; at least they have been found, haven't they?
Moreover, you yourself said that Chen Yong's biological mother originally had mental problems, but after the child was found, her mental state immediately improved significantly, and she became fully conscious at that time.

I think what you did was very meaningful. Besides, if you want to go down this path, similar things will definitely happen again in the future. There are too many people in this world who are not living their lives to their heart's content.

None of us are saints. Just do what you can. The outcome isn't something you can decide at the moment. Maybe their lives will get better and better in the future?

Lin Mo spoke earnestly, feeling that Chuanmei was putting too much pressure on him.

This was undoubtedly pressure he put on himself. Chuanmei always felt that the predicament Chen Yong was about to encounter was related to him. She felt that if it weren't for him, Chen Yong's peaceful life would not have been disrupted. His adoptive father already needed his care, and now he had an elderly pair of parents to take care of, especially his mother who had mental health issues.

He wouldn't have donated money if he hadn't seen how difficult their financial situation was.

"Exactly, you are a blogger. Although you are using this incident to gain traffic for yourself, his suffering was not caused by you, and you even left him money. So, don't put so much pressure on yourself."

"That's what you do. Poverty alleviation is the country's business. What does it have to do with you?" Miss Yuan was clearly more open-minded and pointed out the core of the problem incisively.

Squad leader Wang Jing nodded in agreement: "I think Sister Yuan is right. Just do your own thing. If you have to worry about everything, then you wouldn't be doing self-media. You should take the civil service exam and work hard. Maybe when you're in your fifties or sixties, you can become a local official. Then you can think about solving the livelihood problems of the local poor."

The three of them made it very clear that Chen Yong's suffering was caused by human traffickers. If there had been no human traffickers, given his parents' circumstances at the time, even if he wasn't a good student, he could at least have gone to a junior college, found a partner at that age, and his family could have helped him a little. He could have gotten married and had children, instead of facing even greater financial pressure now, where he not only doesn't receive any help from his family but also has to deal with even greater financial burdens.

"Don't worry, I understand what you're saying. I'm just a little upset because it's the first time I've encountered something like this," Chuanmei said with a smile and a wave of her hand.

Actually, he was feeling quite heavy-hearted while he was there, but he felt much better after he came back. No matter what, it wasn't his business, so naturally he couldn't truly understand what he was going through, and his discomfort was only temporary.

"That's more like it! But I didn't realize you were such a kind-hearted guy. You donated ten thousand yuan without hesitation. That's something else!" Miss Yuan gave a thumbs up and laughed.

Hearing this, the Sichuan girl blushed slightly: "Sister Yuan, please stop teasing me. How can I compare to you? It's mainly about the scene, plus I have to turn this into a work and post it online. Leaving some money is just to put my mind at ease."

"No, it's not about how much money you have, it's about the thought that counts. You're a pretty kind guy."

"And you've cut your hair short too, you look much more energetic than before, but it just looks a bit out of place," Miss Yuan said, pouting as she ate. "It just doesn't look right."

Unfortunately, Miss Yuan had never seen the Sichuan girl with short hair. After all, when the two first met, the Sichuan girl's hair was already quite long.

Even Lin Mo and Class Monitor Wang had never seen a Sichuan girl with a buzz cut during their years at university; she used to have the hairstyle of an idol trainee.

Although his hair is shorter, his androgynous features haven't changed at all. He still looks handsome, and there's still a bit of Li Shiya's resemblance to him.

When the group returned after dinner that evening, the food street was still open as usual, and the number of customers had increased significantly recently.

However, whenever Lin Mo and the others came over, there were always a few eyes on them.

Because of Li Shiya's work, this snack street has recently become a popular spot for internet celebrities to take photos. Many people have come here after hearing the news. Everyone knows that there are plainclothes police officers in this snack street. Some people come here hoping to run into Li Shiya, while others come specifically to find loopholes in the plainclothes police. It has definitely turned the snack street into a live version of a nationwide spot-the-fault game.

"I'm home!"

Just as Chuanmei, Miss Yuan, and Lin Mo returned to the entrance of the residential area and were about to go in, a familiar voice came from behind them.

The three turned around and saw Zhao Yun, dressed in plain clothes. "Cousin, you're back too?" Upon seeing this, Miss Yuan happily ran over to greet her.

Faced with Miss Yuan's coquettishness, Zhao Yun, carrying groceries in one hand and ruffling Miss Yuan's head with the other, smiled and said, "Of course we'll come back together. We went there together, but I went straight to the police station to file a report and only just got home. Have you eaten yet? If not, come to my house and I'll cook something for you."

Upon seeing this, the three quickly said that they had already eaten. Although Zhao Yun had taken off her police uniform, Lin Mo and Chuan Mei still felt a sense of pressure.

As they were talking, the four of them entered the residential area. Miss Yuan invited them to her place to play cards and have some fun, but Zhao Yun gave them a stern warning.

Inviting the police to her house to play mahjong... I have to say, Miss Yuan is something else. Even if she doesn't gamble for money, this is still unacceptable.
The four then split into two groups and went home.

Soon, Lin Mo and the other person took the elevator upstairs. With a ding, the elevator doors opened, and Lin Mo said with a smile, "Then I'll head back first. You should also go back and rest. You've been traveling all day and on a business trip for several days. Take a good rest. Come visit me sometime!"

After saying that, Lin Mo stepped out of the elevator, but the next second, Zhao Yun followed and said with a smile, "No rush, there's no time like the present. Come on, let's go to your place for a while. By the way, is Ruyan there?"

Lin Mo:
He was just being nosy by saying that. He knew this woman might have some wrong ideas, so why did he still bring it up?

He was just being polite, but Zhao Yun actually took the opportunity to come over, which put him in an awkward position as he couldn't send her away.

"Sister Ruyan is away on a business trip and hasn't been around lately." Lin Mo was a little embarrassed and glanced at the time on his phone.

The meaning is quite clear: it's already dark, and my girlfriend isn't home. It's not very convenient for a man and a woman to come over alone!
But whether Zhao Yun didn't understand his implied meaning or she did it on purpose, she said directly, "Oh, is that so? It's okay, come over and wait for a while, I'll tell you about the business trip and its results."

Seeing this, Lin Mo had no choice but to open the door and welcome Zhao Yun inside.

"Have some water. There's not much fruit left at home, so please make do with this," Lin Mo said, pouring a cup of hot water for him.

Now that the weather is getting cooler, the water or cold drinks in the refrigerator are no longer suitable for serving guests.

Although there was tea brought by Liu Ruyan at home, he didn't even have teaware, let alone boil water, which was quite troublesome.

"It's nothing, no need to trouble yourself. I just came to take a look. But how come your house is like this? We have the same layout, but the air in your house is so fresh. I didn't see you looking at the window." Zhao Yun asked in confusion.

Although she had only been inside for a short while, she immediately noticed the difference between this place and her own home.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo glanced at the potted asparagus fern on the dining table and couldn't help but admire Zhao Yun's keen observation skills. He then smiled and said, "I often ventilate the room during the day, which might also be related to the air freshener I sprayed today?"

Don't underestimate that small potted plant; it really makes a difference. At least it keeps the room from feeling dull.

"Oh, I see. I'll buy a couple of bottles to try when I get back. By the way, Ruyan, wasn't your fake relationship exposed? How come her things are still with you?" Zhao Yun asked, puzzled.

She was now certain that their previous relationship was fake, and with her investigative abilities, she could naturally understand why Liu Ruyan had placed her things there.

But now that she has seen through their relationship, it makes no sense to leave the things here.

"Um, we were just pretending before, but now it's real, really, I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, go to the bedroom and see, we're living together now," Lin Mo explained as best she could.

Zhao Yun was still somewhat skeptical, because she knew Liu Ruyan all too well what kind of person she was. Even though she found Liu Ruyan's things in the bedroom, she wouldn't completely believe it. Rather than that, she decided to put it aside for now, since she had other things to do today.

"Alright, we'll talk about this later. We were on a business trip for a few days and completely closed a child abduction case. The progress was quite good. When Director Liu heard this, he told us to keep up the good work, saying that if we do well, it could become a model case in our city, and then we will receive special support."

As for you, you can be given a permanent position at any time, but if you don't want it, we can give you an honorary title, or even an honorary title from our city. Of course, there will be rewards as well. In short, it will be of some benefit to you." Zhao Yun said, listing many benefits, but Lin Mo was not moved at all.

After Zhao Yun calmly recounted her business trip experience, which was much more detailed than Chuan Mei's account, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh and said, "The situation was indeed very bad. No wonder Chuan Zi came back feeling so down. But you don't seem to have been affected at all."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun rolled her eyes at him and laughed, "Do you really think I've been a criminal investigator for nothing all these years? If I couldn't even handle this little situation, I would have quit long ago."

I'm just a police officer, and I only do my job. Simply put, I'm only responsible for finding missing children. Once the child is found, the case is closed, and what happens after that is not my concern, nor can I handle it.

Li Chuan has a really low tolerance for stress, but he's a decent person. Even though he used this material to gain clicks, he was quite generous when it came to donating money. He used to be so effeminate, but this time he acted like a real man!

Lin Mo:
"So you've always thought of him as a woman?"

Zhao Yun: "Otherwise what?"

Lin Mo: "6"
