Chapter 616 Even eating and taking
Although this family is just an ordinary family, it is obvious that the family atmosphere is very good and the parents are very open-minded, which has led to Lin Wushuang's good personality, cheerful and generous.

Most importantly, Lin Wushuang actually discovered this during her growth, yet she was almost unaffected, which is a miracle in itself.

This also proves that her parents truly love their daughter, which is why Lin Wushuang has such a strong inner strength and remains cheerful even knowing this situation.

The two had a meal together and opened up about the topic, especially Lin Wushuang's personality, so Chuanmei no longer needed to hesitate for fear of hurting her.

"Brother, do you think there might be a mistake? After all, there's no evidence and no paternity test," Lin's father voiced his doubts from the side.

Although his daughter's attitude was very firm, another side of his human nature still made him unwilling to confirm the news that his children's biological parents had been found.

After all, once found, it would mean more variables. The couple had poured so much effort into their daughter over the years, which made them somewhat worried. If it weren't for their daughter's attitude giving them great confidence, they would probably be restless by now.

Fortunately, he was relieved by the information the woman from Sichuan provided, especially her speculation that the family had ulterior motives in their search for him.

The more the other party has ulterior motives, the more likely the daughter will side with them.

This isn't because the couple is dark-hearted; it's just human nature. After all, they can't accept the feeling of losing their daughter.

"Although it's not confirmed yet, and we haven't done a paternity test, I still have a lot of confidence in my friend's sketches. He's never made a mistake before, I'm afraid..." Chuanmei sighed helplessly.

This time, he also hoped that Lin Mo had made a mistake, but he knew that the probability was not high. Fortunately, he was not a policeman; he was just an ordinary person and not an official. He could express his opinion, and he could also choose his side.

“Dad, I know that. The character Shou Ge in his work is a sketching genius. He can draw an old man at the age of three, and he even has a collaboration with the Jiangning police.” Lin Wushuang said, then looked at Chuan Mei and continued, “Actually, I started paying attention to you when you first became popular, and I saw your abilities. However, I never thought of contacting you to find your parents. I thought it had nothing to do with me. I didn’t expect to get caught up in this mess.”

Regardless of whether they are my biological parents or not, I will not choose to acknowledge them. This time, it seems you've made a wasted trip."

In response, the woman from Sichuan waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. This matter has not been settled yet. I will keep your information confidential."

However, this is a case after all, and I have already reported the details to our local police. They may still need to verify your identity later, so please be prepared for that.

Anyway, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters. If the other family's situation is really as I suspect, then not going back is the best option.

"Are you preparing to go back now?" Lin Wushuang asked.

The Sichuan girl nodded: "Pretty much. I just need to find you. Besides, the case has taken some wrong turns, and we don't have much to do here!"

“Then you can spend a couple of days here. The scenery here is quite beautiful. Besides, I haven’t seen what you, Li Shiya, look like yet. How about I act as your tour guide for the next couple of days?” Lin Wushuang said excitedly.

Hearing this, Chuanmei and Director Wang exchanged a glance and were immediately tempted. They had come all this way, even to a tourist city, and it would be a waste to rush back so soon!
Besides, this trip was a waste of time; it would have been better to shoot more footage here.

"Won't this be too much trouble?" Chuanmei asked somewhat embarrassedly.

Hearing that there was hope, Lin Wushuang immediately became excited and quickly said, "No trouble at all, let me tell you, the scenery here is great for taking pictures. You can wear a cheongsam or ancient costume. Many young ladies like to take pictures here!"

After thinking about it, the girl from Sichuan gritted her teeth and agreed.

Although he has started to transform his image, he hasn't completely broken away from Li Shiya's image. He still needs Li Shiya to maintain his popularity, but she's not as important as he used to be.

Given these inherent advantages, he naturally wanted to film some footage to take back; otherwise, his trip would have been in vain.

Upon hearing these words, Lin's father and his wife looked puzzled. "A young man wearing a cheongsam?"

Meanwhile, Zhao Yun also took action and quickly reported the situation. Director Liu then had someone contact Nanyang immediately to inquire about the situation.

It's easy to find out if there are legal adoption procedures. Although many years have passed, there are still records in the local area.

At 4:30 p.m., Zhao Yun and several key members of the team were called to Director Liu's office.

"Take a look, everyone. We've got some news. Let's contact Nanyang. There really was such a case back then, and the adoption procedures were legal and compliant. Even the timing matches up."

"Now it seems that this Lin Wushuang is most likely the Li Zhaodi we are looking for," Director Liu said calmly, taking a sip of tea from his iron teacup.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly picked up the documents on the table and looked at them. Except for Zhao Yun, the others were very happy.

This means they are about to successfully solve another missing child case and find another missing child. This is definitely good news for their special task force, and they may even receive some commendation.

But Zhao Yun, a criminal investigator, narrowed her eyes and said with a somewhat gloomy expression, "So, there might be something wrong with this case! Someone is lying!"

"Yes, but we cannot rule out the possibility that the complainant's description was inaccurate, causing a misunderstanding. Therefore, this matter still needs to be followed up," Director Liu said conservatively.

They will not rule out any possibility until the case is completely settled, especially for a case that has been around for a long time.

"Ha, Director Liu, do you even believe that yourself? If a family loses their child at the train station, wouldn't they go crazy searching for them and then call the police?"

However, there are only records here of Lin Wushuang's parents finding the child and calling the police, but there is no information about the people who reported the case on our side, which is abnormal in itself.

"Furthermore, it was winter, and children can't survive long in that kind of weather. In other words, there's no possibility that the two groups could have been separated," Zhao Yun said, holding the documents Director Liu had brought back. The answer was obvious: at the very least, it was abandonment.

"So, this matter still needs to be investigated. Also, tell your team members, especially the Li family, not to reveal too much information," Director Liu said.

Hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded: "Of course, but when we contacted their family to inquire about the situation a while ago, they did mention that they might have a child. This..."

"Let's stop here for now and investigate the specifics of the case first. Once we've confirmed it, we can contact Suzhou to inquire about the parties' wishes!" Director Liu said.

As police officers, when they receive reports from the public, especially cases like missing children, they must investigate regardless of the final outcome.

They can find the person, but whether the person is willing to acknowledge them is their private matter.

"Okay, I'll take some people to the home of the person who filed the report tomorrow to ask about the situation!" Zhao Yun waved her hand with the form in hand, then turned and left.

This case wasn't difficult for her. After all, the person had been found and all the paperwork was in order. Anyone with a little common sense would know that this case was either a false alarm or a deliberate act of abandonment.

As for the possibility of a misunderstanding, it is extremely small. Although there was little surveillance and the facilities were not perfect back then, it was not so bad that the two sides could not see each other.

The difficulty lies in the fact that so much time has passed; even if they have guessed the truth, they lack concrete evidence.

Meanwhile, Liu Ruyan had just returned, and Lin Mo went up to her, brought her back, and took the plastic bag from her.

"Sister Ruyan, why didn't you stay at home for one night? It's already dark," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan took off her wool coat and hung it on the hanger, casually saying, "Just eat at home, what's the point of living at home all the time? Besides, we're living together now. If we get married in the future, do you expect me to keep going back home every now and then?"
I'm just getting used to married life early, you know that, kid? Besides, after what happened yesterday, I'm a little worried about you being home alone. By the way, you didn't go out today, did you?

Lin Mo:
It has to be said that yesterday's events had a significant impact on Liu Ruyan, and she even felt increasingly angry the more she thought about it.

She's now worried about leaving herself at home alone, which shows how scared she is. What if she encounters another pervert?
"No, no, I'm fine staying at home. Besides, it's so cold outside. And Chuanmei and Director Wang are both away on business trips. Sister Yuan and you went home. I can't exactly go hang out with the class monitor and those two girls, can I?" Lin Mo said helplessly.

He didn't want to go out these past two days, wanting to rest more; he wished he could stay home every day.

Besides, everyone is an adult and has their own things to do. It's unrealistic to be together every day. Even if Lin Mo wanted to go see the class monitor, the two of them probably wouldn't have the time.

"That's good. In the future, unless it's absolutely necessary, you should stay at home. It's only because your restaurant still needs to operate that I'd want you to stay home every day," Liu Ruyan said with a sigh of relief.

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
"Nursing?"

“Is it wrong for my sister to have money?” Liu Ruyan said.

In response, Lin Mo quickly laughed and said, "Hey, what are you saying? Actually, I don't necessarily have to open this restaurant. By the way, can we talk about the price?"

"Price? Didn't Su Su say it's charged per session, eight hundred per session?" Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him, then looked at the plastic bags he had just placed on the table: "What's this? Ingredients? You went grocery shopping?"

Looking at the several lobsters in one of the bags, each almost as big as his forearm, he couldn't help but ask.

"Bought groceries? No, I brought these from home!"

As she spoke, Liu Ruyan opened several plastic bags and continued, "These are cooked Boston lobsters, steamed with garlic and chili. I packed them up after dinner. There are two more that I didn't cook, so I brought them back with them."

"And my dad's tea, my mom's red wine. It's only because you don't smoke that my dad has so many cigarettes. I'm afraid they'll expire. Come on, let's put these things away!" Liu Ruyan said with a somewhat excited smile.

Looking at the lobsters, tea, and wine, Lin Mo couldn't help but swallow hard.

"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate, Sister Ruyan? If you want to eat something, we can buy it ourselves. I have money too," Lin Mo said somewhat embarrassedly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him: "What's wrong with it? Besides, what's better than something you buy yourself than something you get for free?"
Besides, look at all those glass display cases in your living room, they're all empty. I'll bring back a few more bottles of good wine in the future, and we'll try to fill them up.

"Don't worry, I have plenty of this at home. My parents don't drink it, and besides, the stuff I took from your house on October 1st was all from my own home, wasn't it?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo was taken aback, then said, "Oh, I see. Then it's alright! Sister Ruyan, go put the wine and tea away. I'll go prepare the lobster. How about we have some late-night snacks tonight?"

“Agreed, let’s have some red wine to liven things up. I even brought a wine opener!” Liu Ruyan nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, then smiled as she held up the wine opener in her hand.

Lin Mo couldn't help but give a thumbs up in admiration.

Just as the two were getting excited, on the other side, at the Liu family villa, Liu Zhengyuan and Ms. Cheng exchanged a glance and then sighed in unison.

My daughter's tendency to eat and take things seems to be getting worse!
