Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 640 Case closed
People who frequently act out of their minds know that one person's outburst is just eccentric behavior, but if a group of such people get together, at best they'll gather to gossip and cause trouble, and at worst they'll raise their arms and declare themselves emperor.

A thunderous sitting posture is already shocking enough, but if five people line up in a row and stare at you in that same thunderous posture, then you should understand that you can't avoid their sharp edge and it's best to run away.

The five of them sat in the same posture, with scrutinizing smiles on their faces, as if they were all cut from the same mold.

At this moment, He Xiaoyue was holding a cup of Xiangpiaopiao milk tea in her hand and a plastic bag in her right hand, which looked like it contained snacks.

The moment He Xiaoyue saw the five men, she knew she had been exposed. She quickly pushed the man away, urging him to leave, and whispered an explanation.

Lin Mo and the others only saw that the man glanced in their direction before leaving.

Five minutes later, He Xiaoyue walked back with her head down, looking somewhat embarrassed. She was about to explain when the class monitor asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Upon hearing this, He Xiaoyue instinctively hid what she was holding behind her back: "I didn't!"

The next second, a blur flashed by, and with He Xiaoyue's cry of "Ouch!", Miss Yuan snatched the milk tea and snack bag away.

Then the five of them changed from sitting in a thunderous posture to sitting in a thunderous eating posture.

You have to admit He Xiaoyue is still young. We're all in a thunderous sitting position, and you're still not running? Aren't you just waiting to have your food stolen by the hyenas?

Now look what happened: he lost his date, and he lost his snacks too.

Potato chips, milk tea, jelly, hawthorn rolls, Doritos, and Delicious Cookies were all served. Lin Mo and the other three each took one item, while Miss Yuan took two: Doritos in her left hand and Delicious Cookies in her right. For a moment, none of the five spoke, only the sound of hyenas gnawing on their food could be heard.

He Xiaoyue was both amused and exasperated by what she saw. She had been caught secretly meeting with her online friend and thought she would be questioned by everyone, but instead, they were already having a meal with her.

"You came all this way so early in the morning, you didn't just come here to take some food from me, did you?" He Xiaoyue asked.

Upon hearing this, the class monitor, holding the milk tea that He Xiaoyue had drunk from, said without any disgust, "No, it's just that I noticed you sneaking out early this morning, and I knew you weren't up to any good. So when I came over, I found out that was indeed the case!"

"Exactly, being sneaky is one thing, but buying so few snacks is hardly enough for anyone. This guy is no good, so stingy. I should have known better than to answer the group voice call." Miss Yuan quickly finished off the snacks in her hand; this little bit wasn't even enough to whet her appetite.

If it weren't for wanting to watch the drama unfold, why would she get up so early to come and see the show?

"Pah! Wait a minute, you guys actually created a group behind my back? What kind of clique is this? You're just excluding me like this. Wait a minute, is this group specifically targeting me?" Lin Mo slammed his hand on the table and questioned.

As soon as he finished speaking, a cough was heard. Everyone looked around and avoided eye contact with him, clearly feeling guilty.

"Holy crap, you're really talking about me behind my back? Director Wang, Chuanzi, you two have gone astray. Back in the day, the four of us in the dorm had only one group chat, all open and honest. Now you're hanging out with women and you've actually learned to form cliques. No way, I want to join the group too. I can't let you ruin my reputation!" Lin Mo shouted.

Women are such a hassle. Back then, the four of them in the dorm were inseparable and united as brothers. But the addition of a few women caused a rift between them.

Sure enough, when several women are together, there are bound to be many groups. He used to think it was just talk, but he didn't expect it to be true.

The reason he wanted to join the group wasn't because he felt excluded, but because he knew that if he wasn't in the group, these people might talk about him behind his back.

Most importantly, he didn't even know when the group was created.

"Ahem, Lao Mo, we have no choice in this, and besides, I'm not the group admin," Director Wang said somewhat awkwardly.

Seeing this, Chuanmei quickly said, "Why are you looking at me like that? It's like I'm the group owner. Besides, Sister Yuan said this is an employee group. You're not an employee, so you don't need to join!"

"Go to hell, isn't Sister Yuan an employee too?" Lin Mo didn't believe it; what kind of employee group was that?

Miss Yuan sneered upon hearing this: "Of course I'm not an employee, I'm a shareholder. I provided the workplace, okay? The rent is considered part of my shares, so what!"

"What do you mean by 'investing'? I'm investing with my technology!" Lin Mo retorted.

Miss Yuan: "Technology as equity? Good skills?"

Lin Mo: "I fucking said I was investing in shit, not investing in ass. Forget it, I'm not joining this group. It doesn't seem like anything legitimate!"

"Exactly, you guys have gone off-topic. Let's focus on Xiaoyue's situation!" the class monitor suggested.

Upon hearing this, the five of them turned their gazes toward that person.

He Xiaoyue:
Half an hour later, the five of them quickly finished breakfast and then arrived at the studio. Fortunately, there weren't many people watching outside during this time of day.

"Tell me, what's going on? How did we suddenly end up meeting?"

The five men sat on the sofa in a thunderous posture, while He Xiaoyue stood and was interrogated by them.

"He said he wanted to meet me, and I thought, since you all think there's something wrong with him, why not meet him? If there really is a problem, then we can find out and treat it early. He said he had to go to work today, so he got up early to have breakfast together and came over specifically for this purpose," He Xiaoyue said.

Hearing this, Lin Mo took a deep breath. Although it was indeed a good idea, it was not suitable for people with brains. He Xiaoyue was obviously in a crazy state right now. So he said, "You've only been chatting online for four days. If it's a blind date, meeting at this time is naturally fine. But if the two of you are talking on your own, the progress is a bit fast."

Alright, whatever, you've already met him. What do you think of him?

"He's handsome, witty, has great taste in clothes, and is very generous. He treated me to dinner and bought me things. He didn't make any inappropriate jokes during our conversation. He seems like one of the few normal men out there," He Xiaoyue quickly said upon hearing this. She wanted to praise the man to the skies, subconsciously refuting the opinions of the others from yesterday and explaining for him.

Seeing this, the group exchanged glances and shook their heads.

"No, what do you mean by shaking your heads? He's really a nice person, I'm not lying. He's also very attentive to detail and very considerate. He was worried I was cold and even bought me milk tea to warm my hands." He Xiaoyue became a little anxious when she saw everyone's expressions.

Miss Yuan pursed her lips and said, "We won't talk about his good looks, humor, and fashion sense, since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and besides, his appearance is indeed passable."

But I seriously suspect that's where your generosity comes from. He came to see you so early in the morning just because breakfast was cheap!

“That’s right, who buys only a few kinds of snacks for their daughter? If you didn’t know better, you’d think they were just snacks to take to class,” the Sichuan girl chimed in.

The class monitor nodded in agreement: "I think so too. Besides, isn't refraining from making lewd jokes a bonus? Isn't that what a normal person should do?"

Lin Mo, Director Wang, and Chuan Mei—these three are men too. Have you ever seen them make lewd jokes when they meet other girls?
Leaving aside those three, in our class and the class next door, how many boys have you seen making lewd jokes with girls right away?
"Speaking of generosity, let's not even talk about Chuanmei, he's not dating anyone. Lin Mo and his girlfriend, they're not short of money. But take Director Wang, before we were even together, he put all his money with me. A few dollars for breakfast, ten or twenty dollars for snacks and he's got you? Wake up!"

The most anxious one here is the class monitor. After all, the two were roommates for four years in college and are now colleagues. Moreover, He Xiaoyue is her strategist. He Xiaoyue has helped her a lot in making her relationship go so smoothly. She is really afraid that this person will get carried away!

"If you say he's good-looking, I admit that, but as for handsome, he's just average. He can't compare to Lao Mo in terms of rugged and clean-cut handsomeness, and he can't compare to Chuanzi in terms of effeminate handsomeness," Director Wang said, counting on his fingers.

Upon hearing this, the Sichuan woman flew into a rage: "Get out of here! What do you mean by 'sissy'? I'm the toughest man in Sichuan and Chongqing! This is called being refined, don't you understand, you bastard!"

"If you continue to be so weak-willed, then forget about having guts, it's questionable whether you're even a man at all," Lin Mo said, rolling his eyes at him.

Sichuan girl:.
Wang's health has improved recently thanks to the class monitor, but Chuanmei is still the same as before, as if all the Chinese medicine she took was wasted.

The group simply expressed their opinions and reminded He Xiaoyue to keep an eye on her money. Ideally, they should give the money to the class monitor for safekeeping, but He Xiaoyue clearly didn't take it seriously.

There was nothing anyone could do about it. They could only let her get to know the person better and invite her out for a meal when she had some free time, so they could give her some advice.

After all, they had never met that man, and everything was just speculation. If they met him for a meal, they might be able to find out more.

Actually, the man's abnormality is a minor matter. The important thing is that He Xiaoyue has gone crazy. As we all know, once a person goes crazy, their IQ drops, and it's not surprising that they do some bizarre things.

After staying in the studio for a while, Lin Mo left through the back door. After all, he had nothing to do there, so it was better to go back and change his clothes first.

As for the others, Miss Yuan could play anywhere, while Chuanmei and the others started working at the studio.

Although my trip to Suzhou a couple of days ago was a wasted trip, I still managed to shoot a lot of footage, which will be perfect for publishing my work. Besides, Miss Yuan even got them some advertising opportunities, so young people should naturally prioritize making money.

Meanwhile, in Shuiquan Village, at Li Dafu's house, Zhao Yun, police officer Xiao Wu, and two others came to announce the results.

"Li Dafu, we have found information about your daughter, Li Zhaodi. After our police investigation, we have confirmed your daughter's current identity. We have also cooperated with the local police to learn that your daughter was found at Nanyang Railway Station. Because her biological parents could not be found, she was listed as an abandoned child. Fortunately, she met a kind person and has been adopted. She is now growing up healthy."

However, the family has now moved to another city. After we confirmed their identity information, we explained the situation.

However, the person in question, your daughter, is unwilling to acknowledge her family, so we need to respect her wishes and cannot disclose her relevant information to you.

"But your daughter asked us to pass on a message to you. She said she's doing well now, so you don't need to worry or look for her anymore. She doesn't want her life to be disturbed," Zhao Yun said calmly, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

There was nothing she could do; she had long disliked this family and even brought reporters to the police station. They were a family of lawless scoundrels.

Fortunately, news came from Suzhou this morning confirming her identity. After learning this, she specially brought people over to inform them, just to see the family's reaction. Naturally, she was not disappointed.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, both Li Dafu and his wife Liang Cuifen's expressions changed.

Liang Cuifen pointed at Zhao Yun and shouted, "Bullshit! She's my daughter! Why doesn't she acknowledge me? I gave her life! I'm her mother for life! Where is she? I want to see her!"

Faced with Liang Cuifen's agitation, Zhao Yun took a step back to avoid getting spittle in her face, and then said calmly, "I'm sorry, we can't comment on that. Our police mission is complete, the case is closed, and we've come to inform you! We're leaving now!"

After saying that, Zhao Yun turned to leave, but Liang Cuifen grabbed her arm and roared, "Don't go! I need to know where she lives. She's my daughter, why doesn't she acknowledge us? Our blood ties are proof. She can't just say she doesn't acknowledge us! Grandma! I'm going to sue her. She has to take care of us when we get old. I can't have given birth to her for nothing!"

"That's your own business. You can file a lawsuit. Of course, as a friendly reminder, once the adoption is established, your daughter's custody will no longer be your concern. In other words, she will not be obligated to support you in your old age."

"Now, let go!" Zhao Yun said calmly.

"I won't let her go! I won't let her go! You have to tell me where she is, or I'll call the police and file a complaint against you!" Liang Cuifen tried to find out about her daughter by throwing a tantrum.

For other police officers, a complaint might be a painful experience, but for Zhao Yun, it was a minor issue. She wasn't afraid at all and sneered, "On the same day your daughter disappeared, a group of human traffickers in Nanyang were arrested. One of them confessed that they were going to pick up another girl, a couple who were selling her, but they were caught before they even got to see her. What do you think?"

"What do you mean? I..." Liang Cuifen trembled slightly upon hearing this, and couldn't help but let go of Zhao Yun's hand, not daring to meet her gaze.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun's eyes grew even colder, and she continued softly, "You know what you mean. You brought reporters to the police station to cause trouble, and you brought your relatives to block the door. We didn't want to deal with you before, but now that the case is closed, you can try again and see if we can deal with your whole family on the grounds of 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble'!"
