"Is this the office?"

Standing at the door of Chang Kun's office, Li Jun felt a little uneasy and turned around to ask.

Xiao Wang nodded: "Within the Public Security Bureau, based on your description, it must be Chang Kun."

She had just encountered this group of people at the police compound. Upon learning that they were people coming to express their gratitude for Chang Kun's good deed, she offered to lead the way.

Li Jun was a little uneasy. Hearing others describe Chang Kun's appearance, he felt that he looked a bit like his brother-in-law, and he couldn't believe it.

I took a deep breath and knocked on the office door.

After a while, Hou Jun poked his head out.

Who are you looking for?

"Um..." Li Jun scratched his head, finding it a bit difficult to explain, and stepped aside to reveal the women and young girls behind him.

"We heard that someone in this office saved the little girl, and we've come to express our gratitude."

Hou Jun immediately understood; he had seen the woman and her family from afar on the platform earlier.

These people have come to thank Chang Kun, which is a good thing! He quickly opened all the doors and let them in.

"Please wait here for a moment. My junior brother Chang Kun has gone to the section chief's office."

As soon as Xiao Wang entered, he smelled the delicious aroma of mutton soup: "You guys haven't finished eating yet?"

Hou Jun chuckled and said, "It's not easy to have a meal of mutton soup, so of course we have to savor it slowly."

"Tsk tsk, you guys are really something, taking your time eating such good food..." Xiao Wang said, noticing Hou Jun's smug look, when suddenly an idea struck him, "Does Chang Kun still have some mutton to share with you?"

Hou Jun's smile froze, a hint of panic crossing his face. He waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, how could there possibly be any mutton left!"

"Heh, monkey, don't you know you can't lie? Look at your face..."

Hou Jun's face flushed red, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as he anxiously exclaimed, "There really isn't any mutton left! Why don't you believe me?!"

Wu Jie had heard about it before because of his big mouth, and now Xiao Wang knows that his junior brother also has mutton. I wonder how his junior brother will blame him.

Xiao Wang chuckled: "Okay, okay, I believe you, the mutton is really gone."

That expression showed absolutely no sign of belief.

"Okay, okay, just trust me." Hou Jun patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lei Guohong sighed inwardly. This kind of foolish apprentice couldn't even understand what he was saying. He really didn't want him anymore!

After the group paused their conversation, Li Jun cautiously asked from the side, "Um... comrade, could you tell me where Chang Kun is from?"

Hou Jun looked Li Jun up and down. Seeing that he was wearing a military uniform and carrying a bedding roll on his back, he looked like a recently discharged soldier. Hou Jun mumbled, "Where else could he be from? Just a proper man from the capital."

Li Jun pressed on, "Are you from the city?"

"Of course, most of us are city people, while you guys... just got discharged from the army?"

Li Jun was a little disappointed. His father-in-law's family had been farmers for eight generations and couldn't possibly be city people, so Chang Kun couldn't possibly be his brother-in-law.

He recounted how Chang Kun saved people, and everyone in the office nodded in agreement.

"That's right. My junior brother is kind-hearted and loyal. Giving him some food is nothing."

"Where...did Chang Kun go?"

Hou Jun said enviously, "He was invited to the section chief's office for a meal; he'll definitely get to eat his fill of meat."

Xiao Wang chimed in from the side: "Monkey, we're lucky to even have mutton soup. We have to thank Chang Kun. I really don't know where he got the ability to hunt a sheep in a single day."

Li Jun and Li Wu, smelling the aroma of mutton soup, swallowed hard and exchanged glances. In the army, it was difficult to even get a full meal. How come the food in the civilian area was so good?

With outsiders present, the office staff felt embarrassed to eat slowly and deliberately, so they hurriedly gulped down the mutton soup and swallowed a few pieces of mutton after chewing them a few times.

Li Jun stepped forward and offered cigarettes to everyone. As they puffed away, they talked about Xiao Ya having a fever.

Hou Jun said, "Sigh, the little girl is the most delicate. Just like my daughter, the other day my junior brother gave her some hermit crabs to play with, and they all died yesterday. She cried until midnight and wouldn't go to sleep."

Lei Guohong rolled her eyes: "Apprentice, you spoil your daughter too much. Chang Kun's family also has several daughters, but they don't cause such a fuss."

"Hehe, Master, that's because Junior Brother is capable and has a lot of good stuff at home. Otherwise, his little pretty boy is no pushover either. Only Xiao Mu looks like a good girl."

Hou Jun adores the little girl the most. Last time when Chang Kun moved, he even taught Xiao Qing and Xiao Mu to play Gomoku.

Li Jun, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed. What was with all this talk about Xiao Qing, Xiao Mu, and Xiu Er? How could each of them correspond to his sister-in-law?

His mouth gaped open, his heart pounding. Could it be?!

Could it really be my brother-in-law?!

Just as I was about to ask, a hearty laugh came from the doorway.

"How did you find this place?"

The woman, who was holding the baby girl and getting some fresh air outside, turned around upon hearing this and her face lit up with joy: "My benefactor, you're back!"

Chang Kun waved his hand: "Don't call her that, it sounds awkward. The little girl looks completely better, she's quite energetic..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Jun suddenly rushed in front of him, looked him up and down, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is it Xiao Kun?"

He had only seen his brother-in-law a couple of times, during his wedding and when he returned to his wife's family home, so he didn't remember what he looked like very clearly. However, his eyebrows and eyes looked somewhat similar to his wife's.

Chang Kun's eyes widened: "Brother-in-law?! What are you doing here?"

Since her rebirth, she has not met her brother-in-law Yang Lijun, but she had dealt with him quite a bit in her previous life, and she still remembers what he looked like when he was young.

"Oh my! It really is you!" Li Jun excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Chang Kun's arm. "What are you doing here? I really didn't expect this..."

"Brother-in-law, I was just about to ask you that, what are you doing here?" Chang Kun looked at his brother-in-law's attire. "You've just been discharged from the army and got off the train?"

"That's right, I decided to go home today at the last minute and didn't have time to tell your sister beforehand," Yang Lijun hesitated, but finally couldn't help asking, "Xiao Kun, what are you doing working here now?"

Looking at his brother-in-law in his police uniform, Yang Lijun felt a little envious, but more surprised.

You know, my brother-in-law used to be completely useless, and his wife Changmei was always worried that he wouldn't be able to find a wife.

"Brother-in-law, I've only been working here for a week or two... Um, come in and sit down so we can talk."

Yang Lijun glanced back at the office; it was too crowded. He then said, "I won't sit down. Anyway, I'm back now. We can talk later. But you're something else, kid. This is my cousin, Yang Liwu. You're the one who saved his daughter."

Yang Liwu, who was standing nearby, was stunned. He turned to look at Yang Lijun and then at Chang Kun: "So... does that mean we're all relatives?"

He gripped Chang Kun's hands tightly: "No matter what, I really need to thank you. Otherwise, my little girl would have been in danger!"
