This sound also confird for Yang i that they didn’t find the wrong person this ti.
She said excitedly, "Dandan, do you want to co back with us to Jiangzhou City to see your mother? She has been looking for you all these years."
"Yes, I do!"
"Alright, then rest well tonight, and we’ll take you back first thing tomorrow morning!"
...
The chaotic night quickly passed, and with a longing to return ho, Yang i picked up Liao Dandan at dawn the next day, ready to return to Jiangning County.
Before setting off, they went to the Daping Town police station once more.
Besides thanking Gao ng for his help, they also needed to do so work transition with him, as Liao Dandan’s household registration is currently with them.
Before parting, Liao Dandan deeply bowed to Gao ng and several police officers, "Thank you, uncle policen."
"No need to thank us, young lady; we didn’t really do much."
Gao ng waved his hand, wanting to say sothing upon thinking of her experiences but not knowing how to start; he could only sigh in the end, "Go and spend good ti with your mother when you return."
"Okay, I know... Uncle, can I ask you a question?"
Liao Dandan suddenly asked with a face full of hesitation.
"Go ahead."
"When I return, will my parents here... my adoptive parents be jailed?"
"If it’s confird that they bought you, then according to the law, they will definitely go to jail... But it’s deserved, so don’t worry about it and go ho with Comrade Luo Fei quickly."
Upon hearing this, Liao Dandan said no more and boarded the car with a heavy heart.
She remained sullen even after the car had driven far away.
Beside her, Yang i noticed her downcast mood and asked concernedly, "What’s wrong, Dandan? Are you still worried about Liao Mingjin and his wife?"
After last night’s interactions, Liao Dandan had developed so trust and reliance on Yang i.
Upon hearing, she nodded, "Sister Yang i, although my dad used to hit early on, he was alright later, and my mom... I don’t want them to go to jail."
Even though the initial experience of being bought left her with severe psychological trauma, she had developed so familial affection for the couple over the years.
Yang i imdiately realized that what Gao ng worried most about yesterday might still happen.
But she had no position to criticize Liao Dandan.
"Dandan, committing a cri ans having to bear corresponding responsibilities, and we can’t change that. But when you return, talk it over with Aunt Tang; if she’s willing to issue a forgiveness letter, your adoptive parents might get leniency."
"But be sure not to quarrel with her, communicate properly; your mom has had a hard ti all these years..."
"Thank you, Sister Yang i, I understand!"
...
Four o’clock in the afternoon.
After more than eight hours of driving, Yang i and the others finally returned to Ningjiang County.
Since Yang i couldn’t wait to tell Tang Cuifang the good news, they didn’t go to the police station first but went to the porridge shop on New Street instead.
In the small town, there were generally few custors who ca for porridge in the afternoon.
Tang Cuifang was not busy, as usual, casually found a table to sit down, staring at the door absentmindedly.
Yang i walked in and called out, "Aunt Tang."
Tang Cuifang ca to her senses, surprised, "Yang i, why are you here at this ti? Did you get off work early today?"
"Aunt Tang, don’t ask first; I have a big surprise for you!"
"What surprise? Why so mysterious?" Tang Cuifang replied with a mock smile, helplessly allowing herself to be pulled up.
"You’ll definitely be happy, but you must promise not to get too excited later."
"Okay, I promise not to get excited."
Only then did Yang i call outside, "Dandan, co in!"
Always hiding outside, Liao Dandan and Luo Fei walked in.
At first, Tang Cuifang thought Yang i had co up with so quirky idea to cheer her up.
But when she saw Liao Dandan, she was suddenly stunned!
It’s often said that there’s a connection between mother and daughter; at that mont, she recognized sothing, but because she cared too much, she dared not easily confirm, fearing she would be disappointed again...
"Yang i, is she..." She trembled when looking at Yang i, her voice quivering with excitent, unable even to finish her sentences.
Liao Dandan suddenly cried and threw herself into her embrace, "Mom, I’m Huanhuan!"
"Huanhuan, are you really my Huanhuan?"
"It’s , Mom, I’m really Zheng Huan!"
...
After that, the mother and daughter successfully recognized each other; Tang Cuifang held her daughter regained, crying out loud, and Luo Fei and Yang i persuaded for quite a while before the mother and daughter cald down.
However, Tang Cuifang always held her daughter’s hand, fearing this dream might wake up at any mont as if it were a dream.
Knowing that the mother and daughter surely have a lot to say, Yang i and Luo Fei tactfully stood up.
"Aunt Tang, have a good chat with Dandan; we’ll head back to the police station first. Call if there’s anything."
"Alright alright..."
Right now, Tang Cuifang was full of her daughter, even forgetting what she was saying, just nodding continuously.
Yang i and Luo Fei then left the porridge shop.
In the car, Yang i sighed.
"What’s wrong? After finally helping Aunt Tang find her daughter, why aren’t you happy?"
"It’s not that I’m not happy; I’m just a bit worried."
"Worry about what?"
"Dandan seems to have strong feelings towards her adoptive parents. I’m worried she would forcibly make Aunt Tang issue a forgiveness letter, which Aunt Tang can’t accept and might feel more pain..."
She regretted as she spoke, "I shouldn’t have been so talkative earlier."
Luo Fei drove seriously and comforted her upon hearing, "With the internet being so developed now, Dandan, being a high school student, would have checked it herself even if you hadn’t told her, so don’t bla yourself."
"And I don’t think it’s as bad as you say; from Dandan’s attitude, it seems she indeed hopes to show leniency to her adoptive parents."
"But from her expression when she recognized Aunt Tang, it’s clear Aunt Tang holds a much higher place in her heart than the Liao Mingjin couple, so even if she wants Aunt Tang to issue a forgiveness letter, it won’t be as extre as you think."
"Really? Then I’m much relieved..."
During the conversation, Luo Fei had already driven the car into the Criminal Police team, parking steadily in front of the office building.
The two went upstairs and bumped into Yang Su.
Looking at them, he was pleasantly surprised, "Luo Fei, you’re back? Found the person? Is it Old Zheng’s daughter?"
Yang Su and Zheng Bei were also old colleagues for many years and had deep connections.
So knowing they went to find Zheng Bei’s daughter, he couldn’t help but care about the result.
"Although the paternity test result hasn’t co out yet, the victim was able to detail her identity before being trafficked, which completely matches Zheng Huan’s situation, so there shouldn’t be any mistakes."
"Really? Then where is she? Why didn’t you bring her back?"
"We already sent her to et Aunt Tang first."
"Oh okay..." Yang Su understood and nodded without asking more, "By the way, Zhao Donglai is in the office, you guys should go over quickly."
"Alright."
The two went to Zhao Donglai’s office, and just after finishing reporting their work, Yang i’s phone rang.
It was from the Cloudy City Criminal Police team saying yesterday afternoon’s paternity test results were out, and the two samples matched the mother-daughter relationship.
Yang i hurriedly shared the good news.
"This is great; now we can finally relax completely."
Zhao Donglai smiled satisfiedly and looked at the two, "Well, you two must be tired from this trip, so go rest first."
With the common effort of everyone, this case had entered its closing phase, and their police team had completely relaxed, so with a happy mood, he gave the two an early leave.
They naturally welcod it, thanked and left the police team at once.
Then Yang i called Tang Cuifang again in the car, shared the paternity test result, and subtly inquired about the current situation between the mother and daughter.
After confirming they didn’t have any argunts or unpleasantness, she finally felt relieved to hang up.
Then heard Luo Fei tease, "Relieved now?"
"Relieved, relieved!" Yang i laughed happily.
