She's a shrewd and sweet woman who transmigrated into a book.

Chapter 160 Mom
The boy sat there silently, as if he were not being interrogated.

"If he doesn't have identification, let's lock him up for now. We can't just let him go like this."

"Uncle Chen, this child is so young, it's not right for him to be locked up with them!"

In this era of scarce resources, conditions in detention centers were far from ideal.

The thugs they arrested were all seasoned veterans; if they threw a kid in like that, he'd probably be bullied to death in less than two minutes.

"That's right, let's lock him in that small room by himself. But he's still a child, so give him two blankets so he doesn't get cold."

Old Chen caught this child by sheer chance.

He happened to be patrolling near the Capital University when he saw him loitering in front of the university. He stopped him, questioned him, and, seeing that he had no identification, detained him and brought him back.

After the interrogation, he realized he had brought trouble back with him.

Just as Old Chen was about to go back and continue the interrogation, his new colleague rushed over.

"Old Chen, he said it, he said it."

"Really? What did he say?"

The other police officers were also very curious and quickly asked.

"He didn't say much, just that he had a fight with his mother and ran away from home. He gave her his mother's address and name."

They didn't say anything, which was enough. The most important thing now is to call someone to take them back; leaving them at the police station indefinitely isn't a good idea.

"Okay, quickly notify someone to take him back."

"Okay, I'll go now."

The police gave the phone number to the female colleague who made the call.

"Should we transfer them to the military dependents' compound?"

"I think I should. The address and name he gave me can't be wrong."

"That's true. Just look at his clothes and his demeanor. He's definitely not ordinary. He must be from a wealthy family."

"You know what, it's true. But the kids in this compound are still so unruly. They'll definitely get a good beating when they get back."

After the call was connected, the female police officer gave her name and address, and the call was successfully transferred.

"Hello, are you Comrade Liu Jingyi?"

The name the boy said.

—Liu Jingyi.

Liu Jingyi was busy at the sewing machine. She had just taken on a job and was also making two cheongsams for herself. If she got busy later, she wouldn't have time.

Several years have passed, and Liu Jingyi is still very young. Like Leng Yunting, the two seem to have never been affected by the ravages of time.

However, Leng Yunting is different in some ways; time has made him more composed.

Liu Jingyi, on the other hand, remained as radiant as ever.

The phone downstairs kept ringing, but she didn't hear it.

Leng Ling heard the phone ring, walked over to it, and answered it.

"Excuse me, is this Comrade Liu Jingyi? Could you please come to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to pick up your son?"

Leng Ling was puzzled when she heard the voice on the phone; it was a sweet voice.

"Uncle, did you dial the wrong number? My brother is at home."

The police officers there were also puzzled when they heard a little girl's voice, but logically speaking, it was impossible for them to have made a mistake.

The little girl's voice was very sweet, and it also carried a hint of composure.

The police officer paused for a moment, then asked, "Is your mother's name Liu Jingyi?"

Leng Ling hummed in response, but her displeasure was also evident in her voice.

"That's it. Let your mother answer the phone."

Leng Ling said unhappily, "Mom is busy, she doesn't have time."

Is that person at home?

Although Leng Ling was unhappy, she did not want to lie.

Her mother taught her and her brother from a young age that children should not lie.

The police urged her again before she obediently said "okay." Leng Ling went upstairs and knocked on her mother's door.

Upon hearing the knock, Liu Jingyi said, "Come in."

The door was opened a crack, and a girl peeked out. She had fair skin with a natural pink blush on her face, and her big eyes blinked. Although she was only six years old, she looked like an elf who had stepped out of a fairy tale.

She inherited the best qualities of Liu Jingyi and Leng Yunting, and even surpassed them.

She looked at her mother expectantly and whispered, "Mom, someone downstairs is calling for you."

Liu Jingyi was surprised for a moment, not expecting anyone to call her at this hour.

She put down her work, took Ling'er's hand, and went downstairs, asking a question as she did so.
"Ling'er, did the person on the phone say who was looking for Mommy?"

Leng Ling thought for a moment, "Mom, it's a call from the police station."

Liu Jingyi frowned when she heard "Public Security Bureau".

Why would the police be looking for her? She hasn't done anything wrong, has she?
Leng Ling obediently held her mother's hand and said sweetly,

"Mom, it's okay, Ling'er is with you."

Liu Jingyi pinched the little guy's cheek and said, "It's okay, Mom is an adult, how can I need Ling'er to comfort me?"

Liu Jingyi picked up the phone. "Hello."

The police officer's voice contained no dissatisfaction; they simply told her...
"Hello, are you Comrade Liu Jingyi?"

"Yes, it is. May I ask what's the matter?"

"Your family member is missing. Please come to the station to pick them up."

After hearing this, Liu Jingyi felt that the phone had been dialed by mistake. How could someone ask her to come and pick up someone right away?

Besides, Leng Yunting is an adult; it's impossible for him to ask her to pick him up.

Ling'er and Sheng'er are both at home, so she doesn't have any family members left.

"Officer, did you dial the wrong number?"

Upon hearing this, the police officer quickly replied, "No, aren't you Comrade Liu Jingyi?"

"Yes," Liu Jingyi replied.

"Then there's no mistake. Please come as soon as possible," the police said.

Liu Jingyi thought to herself, could it be her stepmother?

"Okay, officers, I'll be right there to pick them up. Thank you for your help."

The police breathed a sigh of relief; the child had finally found his mother.

"Okay, come over now. It's no trouble at all; it's our job."

"Okay, thank you so much."

Liu Jingyi hung up the phone and prepared to go out.

She first went upstairs to gather up the clothes she had only half-finished, and then gathered up the threads and other things.

Liu Jingyi changed her clothes again.

She was very lazy at home, and her hair was always falling down haphazardly.

She hadn't cut her hair in the past few years, and the ends had reached her waist. She found it troublesome to manage, so she would just casually gather it up with a wooden hairpin.

After changing her clothes, Liu Jingyi looked at herself in the mirror.

The person in the mirror is very beautiful.

She has big eyes, thin and fair skin, and a small face.

She has bright eyes and white teeth; when she smiles, her eyes sparkle, as if they are filled with a faint luster.

Liu Jingyi was still quite satisfied with her appearance. Every time she looked in the mirror, she would admire herself for a moment. She would not be embarrassed to go to the police station looking like this.

Liu Jingyi went downstairs.

Leng Ling was downstairs, seemingly waiting for her.

"Mother."

In their past life, Liu Jingyi and Leng Yunting had a child!
