The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

"Stop thief! Stop thief..."

"Catch the thief..."

Upon hearing this shout, Li Yuanchao immediately put Li Tian down from his shoulder.

"You stay here and keep an eye on those two."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Yuanchao had already run out after the shout.

After realizing what was happening, Li Siwen grabbed one child with each hand, preventing them from joining the fun.

Li Tian could only obediently stand still and crane her neck to watch the excitement in the crowd.

After figuring out the thief's characteristics, Li Yuanchao took the lead and chased after him.

Thieves specialize in sneaking into alleys. Although they are cunning, their physical fitness is far inferior to that of a professional soldier like Li Yuanchao.

They couldn't outrun him, and if they brandished their knives, they'd get beaten even worse.

Before the victim could report the theft to the police, Li Yuanchao brought the thief back with him.

Li Yuanchao was simply acting bravely for a just cause; he was not a police officer.

He didn't have the authority to investigate the situation, so he took the thief and the victim to the police station together.

The rest was no longer his concern.

"Sir, this person is a repeat offender, but we haven't been able to catch him red-handed yet. We will take appropriate action after we have a thorough investigation, so please rest assured."

When the police officer on duty was making a record, he naturally checked Li Yuanchao's identification.

In his eyes, a regimental-level commander was already a big shot.

Li Yuanchao nodded and prepared to leave.

Li Siwen, who came along with them, recognized the police officer in front of her as the one who had registered her last time.

"Officer Liu, is there any progress in the case of my stolen bicycle?"

Police Officer Liu remembered Li Siwen; after all, pretty girls are easily recognizable.

Seeing Li Siwen standing with Li Yuanchao, he became even more cautious.

"Comrade, I'm sorry, we caught a few car thieves, but the stolen goods have all been moved, making it difficult to convict them."

The cars are all pretty much the same, and there's no surveillance, so it's really difficult for the police to get things done.

It would be difficult for anyone to do it.

Li Tian understood perfectly.

Li Siwen was still puzzled, "The bicycles are all registered, how come this can't be found?"

Li Tian rolled her big eyes; she really didn't know about registering bicycles.

It's probably the same principle as registering a car.

After all, in this day and age, a bicycle was a major household item.

Officer Liu gave an awkward laugh, "They'll grind off the stamped seal when they sell the stolen goods..."

Once something is lost, it's basically gone forever.

Li Siwen was mentally prepared for this.

"Alright, thanks for your hard work, goodbye."

"We're sorry, but we'll let you know as soon as we have any news."

As soon as the two separated, the person who lost the item walked over, took a few steps to Li Yuanchao, and shook his hand.

"Comrade, thank you so much! I will definitely send your unit a letter of commendation and a banner."

"You're welcome, it was nothing."

"I'm so glad I met you today. Losing some money is a small matter, but losing the company's contracts and official seal would be a huge problem for me. I really can't go back and explain myself."

"It's best not to carry such an important thing around at night."

The man smiled wryly, "It's precisely because it's important that I dare not leave it in the hotel."

Li Yuanchao nodded understandingly and said, "Take care."

"Dad, is the security situation really that bad these days?"

Li Yuanchao reached out and picked up Li Tian. "The country is in trouble, and many people are still unemployed. To make a living, some people will take risks. Of course, there are also those who are inherently lazy."

Li Tian nodded.

"That's why you need to go to school; only with skills can you earn a living."

Li Tian rolled her eyes; they had circled back to this topic again.

"Dad, you're not old yet, don't nag so much."

Li Yuanchao gritted his teeth but gently rubbed Li Tian's head.

"Siwen, try to stay home as much as possible at night. If you do go out, go with your classmates."

"Okay, bro, I'm a good student."

The group walked back to the parking lot, and when they arrived home, Ye Zhao was still sitting in the living room.

"Did you have fun now?"

Li Tian smiled and sat down next to Ye Zhao, reporting on all the big and small things that had happened that day.

"Alright, we don't need to say anything more, Mom, I'm going back to my room."

Li Siwen drank a glass of water and then left the living room.

Li Yuanchao had Zhang Sao take Li Tian to take a bath, and then sent Wang Bo back to the house.

"Mom, Tian Tian has never said she didn't want to go to school before, has she?"

Ye Zhao looked at Li Yuanchao with a puzzled expression. "I didn't say that."

Li Yuanchao chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Li Tian said today that she'd be happiest if she didn't have to go to school. Maybe I was just too nervous."

"Concern can cloud judgment, but it's only right to show more concern for the child. Go get some rest."

Li Yuanchao gently smoothed his mother's white hair, feeling a pang of guilt.

"I'm going straight to the military base tomorrow morning. My mom will have to take care of things at home. Call me if anything happens. I live nearby now, so I can always find time to come back."

Ye Zhao patted her son's hand.

None of the three children are truly easy to manage.

Even now, we still have to worry about them and do our best for them.

But since it was all for her child, Ye Zhao had nothing to complain about.

Li Yuanchao helped Ye Zhao up and took her back to her room. He then told Li Shengli about the fact that he had left early that morning.

"Standing at this new starting point, we must adjust our mindset and handle things calmly. The waters of Beijing are even deeper. Only those who can handle countless complex relationships can be true leaders; otherwise, they will always remain generals."

Only a biological father would say such things to him.

I wouldn't listen to advice before, but now I take it as gospel.

"Dad, I understand. If they misbehave, I'll deal with them when I get back. Please don't be angry."

Lee Seungri waved his hand.

Li Yuanchao closed the door and went out.

Seeing that Li Tian had already returned to the house, Li Yuan knocked on the door and went in.

After appeasing the elders, you also need to give the younger ones a little nudge.

"Tian Tian, ​​Daddy's going to work tomorrow morning, and he might not be back for a few days. Be a good girl and listen to Grandpa and Grandma at home, okay?"

Li Tian tilted her head and stretched out her little hand.

"Your allowance arrives on time, and everything is negotiable."

Li Yuanchao couldn't help but laugh and even clapped his little hand.

"Ten dollars is the minimum. If you cause trouble or deliberately mess things up, you'll be fined one dollar each time."

Li Tian pouted; her father really was as smart as she was.

They found out about economic sanctions so quickly.

Li Tian crossed her arms and sat on the pillow.

"If there's a punishment, there should also be a reward, right? Otherwise, I won't be motivated."

"Yes, of course, everything is judged according to your grandmother's opinion."

The mother dotes on her granddaughter, but there are limits.

The father may seem upright and incorruptible, but he is actually very accommodating to his granddaughter's every request.

Li Yuanchao knew everything perfectly well.

"make a deal."

"Lie down and go to sleep," Li Yuanchao said, turning off the light and leaving after settling Li Tian in.

Seeing that the light was still on in Wang Bo's room, Li Yuanchao went in and said a few more words, also asking him, as his older brother, to take care of Li Tian.

"I don't have any special instructions. Is your mouth dry? Moisten your throat and go to sleep."

Li Yuanchao took the water cup from his sister and drank it all in one go.

"There's not much to say. My older sister and I used to live far apart, so we relied a lot on my younger sister."

"Call me if you need anything, I've got connections!"
