Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"Hehe, it's been a while since you guys have come. Your six dishes and one soup are all served. If you need anything else, just let me know, or you can go to the kitchen to get it yourself."

"I'm chubby, Mr. Qin said after serving the last dish."

The small, rustic restaurant was still filled with the aroma of cooking and packed with people; though small, it was brimming with the warmth and life of everyday life.

Xia Keke replied, "The boss's business is really good!"

Mr. Qin chuckled and said, "My little shop relies entirely on you regular customers. Please make yourselves at home. Help yourselves to any drinks you need."

Xiao Zhan joked, "Boss, aren't you afraid I'll finish my beer, put the empty bottle back, and say I didn't drink it?"

Boss Qin chuckled and said, "Hehe, it's no big deal, just a few bottles of beer. If you really want to drink, consider it my treat. Besides, most of the people who come here have been old acquaintances for years. They've long treated this little shop like their own kitchen. Do you see those people over there? They're all old neighbors living in the alley. They all help themselves when they come. Sometimes when I'm too busy, they cook for themselves. Hahaha, the main idea here is to do whatever you want. In today's popular terms, it's called harmonious win-win."

Qin Huanhuan: "The main reason is that the owner is generous, has a gentle and cheerful personality, and the dishes taste good and are reasonably priced, which is why we have so many repeat customers."

Boss Qin squinted at Qin Huanhuan and said, "I'm not a very ambitious person. I keep a low profit margin and focus on the quality of the dishes, so everyone comes to support me."

"Alright, please enjoy your meal. I'll go and serve the others."

After finishing speaking, Boss Qin glanced at Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke, then turned and left...

Hua Ying kept glancing at Boss Qin and then at Qin Huanhuan before finally blurting out, "Why do I think Huanhuan and Boss Qin look so alike? Especially the faint sadness in their eyes, and the tone and feeling when they speak. And you both have the surname Qin, you wouldn't happen to be distant relatives, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Huanhuan's expression changed slightly, her brows furrowing, but she calmly said, "Do we look alike? I don't see it at all."

In fact, the previous times Qin Huanhuan ate at the local restaurant, she had a sense of déjà vu about the owner, Mr. Qin.

Shen Jun: "What a coincidence! There are over 20 million people in Beijing. Even relatives might not run into each other."

Xiao Zhan interrupted the conversation with a smile, "Come on, let's drink. If you look closely, you'll see that people have some similarities in their facial features."

Xia Keke added, "Lunch is on me, so eat as much as you like. Don't try to save me money, okay? I can't afford a fancy hotel, but I'll make sure you get plenty of local dishes, hahaha."

So, the group began to feast...

after an hour,

The five people left the local restaurant after they had eaten and drunk their fill.

Qin Huanhuan and Hua Ying walked ahead, chatting and laughing about private things, while Shen Jun followed behind carrying their bags.

As Xia Keke and Xiao Zhan walked and chatted, Xia Keke laughed and said, "Haha, you guys saved me money at noon. The five of us ate for 330 yuan, which is 66 yuan per person. But that number is quite auspicious, it really is six!"

Xiao Zhan glanced back at the still-crowded local restaurant and said, "With this price and this taste, you probably won't find another place like it in the capital. Boss Qin really knows how to do business."

Then, lowering his voice, he asked, "Did you check?"

Xia Keke glanced at Qin Huanhuan walking ahead, then whispered, "I checked, and this Boss Qin is Qin Hanwen, the eldest young master of the Qin family in Beijing who disappeared overnight more than twenty years ago. But his appearance is very different from before; he must have had plastic surgery."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "So, Huanhuan and he might actually be related?"

Xia Keke smiled, took out a wad of tissues from her pocket, and said, "I just managed to get a hair from Boss Qin and Huanhuan. I'll send it for DNA testing right away. The results will be out in three days, and then the truth will be revealed."

Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up when he saw the two thin strands of hair. "Director Xia, you're so thoughtful," he said.

Xia Keke said with a hint of smugness, "You don't even know what I do for a living. This is called specialization."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why doesn't Qin Hanwen go back to the Qin family, but instead hides away in the alley running a restaurant?"

Xia Keke: "There must be a little-known story behind this. The current head of the Qin family, Qin Hanwu, is Qin Hanwen's cousin. More than 20 years ago, the Qin family was turned upside down overnight. Qin Hanwu became the head of the family, while Qin Hanwen disappeared without a trace. Folk legend has it that Qin Hanwen eloped with his lover for love."

Xiao Zhan grinned and said, "Isn't this just nonsense?"

"For Qin Hanwen to abandon the vast Qin family business and elope for a woman, he must have lost his mind."

"Beep beep beep".

Suddenly Xiao Zhan's phone rang.

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow when he saw the caller ID.

Then, after answering the phone, he asked, "Director Li, what's the matter?"

Li Chaobing said over the phone, "Young Master Xiao, I just received a call from Wang Guoyong saying that you are inquiring about Zhao Ruirui's case."

Xiao Zhan didn't hide anything and admitted, "Yes, Zhao Ruirui and my wife were college classmates. She tried to harm my wife several times, and even the death of my fake father-in-law was related to her. So I asked about the case. What's wrong, Director Li?"

Li Chaobing: "It's nothing. I called to ask after I heard about it. Because Zhao Ruirui's case with Zhu Junjie was being investigated by our bureau, and she is pregnant, I granted her bail pending trial to facilitate our subsequent investigation. She is currently under residential surveillance by our bureau. Everything is being carried out in accordance with normal legal procedures."

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask, Young Master Xiao?"

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "Hahaha, I have no questions for a pregnant woman. It's not easy for a man to live with a woman inside. That's enough."

Li Chaobing: "Young Master Xiao, I'll hang up now if there's nothing else. I have a meeting soon."

Xiao Zhan: "Goodbye, Director Li."

Xiao Zhan hung up the phone and looked at Xia Keke. The two of them said in unison, "This is like trying to hide something obvious."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "Li Chaobing or Zhao Ruirui must have seen us at the traffic light intersection, so they're calling now to test the waters."

Xia Keke frowned and said, "You were sitting in the car. My car has a privacy screen, so you can't see inside from the outside. You can only see the driver. Li Chaobing probably felt a little guilty after seeing me, so when he contacted Wang Guoyong and found out that you had called to ask about Zhao Ruirui, he felt even more guilty. He didn't know what you wanted to do, so he called you to test you."

Xiao Zhan: "Now that you've put it that way, the entire logical thinking and the analysis of the relationships between them are complete."

At this moment, Qin Huanhuan called out, "Xiao Zhan, I'm free this afternoon, and I'd like to go shopping with Hua Ying, is that okay?"

Xiao Zhan: "Weren't we going to see some lovemaking?"

Qin Huanhuan: "It's lunch break time now, so family members aren't allowed in. We'll go in after Ai'ai finishes her nap."

Xiao Zhan: "Okay, where should we go shopping?"

Qin Huanhuan: "There's Dayue City nearby, and it's not far from the People's Hospital. After we finish shopping, we'll go straight to see Ai Ai."

Xiao Zhan: "Okay!"

Shen Jun and Hua Ying arrived by car.

Xiao Zhan asked, "Director Xia, are you coming with us?"

Xia Keke shook her head and said, "There are four of you, two couples. Do you want me to be a third wheel? I won't go. I'm taking the stuff to the lab for DNA testing."

Xiao Zhan: "Alright then, don't forget to meet Deng Zhi at six o'clock tonight."

Xia Keke nodded, took two steps, then turned back to Xiao Zhan and said, "Xiao Zhan, now that you have the information from Su Zixing, what's your next step?"
