Chapter 9

When Qin Wan'er saw Guoguo, her eyes instantly lit up. What a lively and beautiful little doll! Suddenly, a wave of affection welled up in her heart.

In an instant, the fierce gaze of the spirited Qin Wan'er softened and became tender.

Qin Wan'er's change did not escape Xu Yun's notice. He smiled helplessly, thinking, who could be cuter than Guoguo?

"Little beauty, tell me what happened," Qin Wan'er squatted down, her face now full of smiles, all traces of her previous ferocity gone.

"My parents run a small business, and these bad guys always come to cause trouble!" Guoguo said indignantly. "Sister Wan'er, you must help my parents teach these bad guys a lesson!"

Xu Yun and Ruan Qingshuang were both stunned. Qin Wan'er also opened her mouth in surprise and looked up. These two don't seem that old, how could they have such a big daughter? Could it be that they got married and had a child while still minors?

Ruan Qingshuang hurriedly explained, "Officer Qin, Guoguo is their goddaughter. I... I and Xu Yun... it's not what you think."

"Then you can develop things the way Sister Wan'er thinks," Guoguo said seriously, leaving the adults both amused and exasperated.

Qin Wan'er didn't dwell on it. "Then come with me to the station. We need to take some statements. I will make sure these hooligans get what they deserve!"

"Okay!" Guoguo raised her hand first. "I will tell Sister Wan'er everything I know."

"Good!" Qin Wan'er pinched Guoguo's little cheek affectionately again, then immediately took out her phone to call the Wenhui District Police Station for backup to take away the bald Wei Bing and his gang.

Of course, Xu Yun, Ruan Qingshuang, and Guoguo were also invited to the Wenhui District Police Station.

The trio of Xu Yun, Ruan Qingshuang, and Guoguo, wherever they went, were a dazzling sight. And Guoguo kept calling out "Mom" and "Dad."

Almost everyone in the police station thought that this unkempt, laid-back young man was completely unworthy of this young, beautiful mother with a child. Many young police officers even wondered if they would lose control if this beauty asked to marry them with a child.

The power of beauty is great, so Ruan Qingshuang and Guoguo received the best care, with tea, water, and chairs being offered! Xu Yun could only stand to the side.

Xu Yun was indignant. Damn! This is clearly gender discrimination!

Qin Wan'er and a few police officers from the station sat opposite the three. "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Before Ruan Qingshuang could speak, Guoguo answered first, "Sister Wan'er, it's like this. A scoundrel owed those bad guys money and claimed that Mom is his sister-in-law, so he made those bad guys ask Mom for money! Mom hasn't even married, how could she be that scoundrel's sister-in-law?"

The words left the male police officers, except for Qin Wan'er, feeling a deep sigh. They all thought it was a pity that she had a child before marriage. They wondered who the bastard was who didn't cherish such a treasure.

Xu Yun became the target of everyone's cold stares...

Xu Yun and Ruan Qingshuang were already helpless and didn't bother to explain. They could only hope that little Guoguo would say less, fearing that she would shock them with her words.

However, Comrade Qin Wan'er seemed to have a special connection with little Guoguo. During the formal questioning, she actually communicated with a child under seven years old.

"Don't overthink it," Qin Wan'er rolled her eyes and ignored her colleagues, then continued to ask Guoguo, "Have they been harassing you many times?"

"Uh-huh," Guoguo nodded. "After I met Mom, they came several times, and Mom has paid the scoundrel's debt twice."

"..." Qin Wan'er was completely confused by what she meant by "after I met Mom."

Ruan Qingshuang didn't know how to explain, so she let Guoguo speak. Children speak without reserve, and if she said anything inaccurate, Ruan Qingshuang would correct it with Xu Yun.

Guoguo continued, "The third time, they asked for twenty thousand, and Dad helped us. So today, they came to take revenge on Dad and Mom."

Qin Wan'er looked at Xu Yun, then at Ruan Qingshuang. "Is that right?"

"Yes," Ruan Qingshuang nodded, Guoguo's narrative ability was flawless.

"Okay, good." Qin Wan'er lowered her head and wrote it down, then looked up at Xu Yun. "Have you been in the military?"

Xu Yun was taken aback and shook his head. "No."

Qin Wan'er sized up Xu Yun, then smiled. "Who are you fooling? Do you think I don't know military boxing? I practiced it in police school."

Xu Yun chuckled, thinking to himself that he should have used a scoundrel's fighting style. He used military boxing because he was afraid of killing someone with other moves...

"False step to the ribs, horse stance strike, throat punch, these are all moves from military boxing, right?" Qin Wan'er said calmly, looking at Xu Yun with a smug expression. "If you haven't been in the military, how do you know these moves?"

"I didn't do well in school, so I spent two years in the military. I didn't feel right calling myself a soldier," Xu Yun said without a hint of nervousness.

At this moment, news came from the interrogation room. The confession of the fourth member of the Four Wolves Gang, Wei Bing, matched what Guoguo said.

"This shows that Wei Bing didn't lie. After all, Guoguo wouldn't lie," Qin Wan'er smiled and pinched Guoguo's little cheek.

"Right! Sister Wan'er, they extorted thirty thousand from my mom! Can we get the money back?" Guoguo asked hopefully.

Ruan Qingshuang was taken aback. What is this girl saying? They just praised her for not lying, and Lu Bao only extorted less than twenty thousand from her.

Qin Wan'er nodded seriously at Guoguo. "Their gang is notorious. Sister Wan'er will definitely help you get revenge. If their leader doesn't return the thirty thousand, I won't let them go! Okay?"

"Yay!" Guoguo was excited!

Seeing Ruan Qingshuang's expression of exasperation, Xu Yun understood that little money-grubber Guoguo had definitely gained something...

Seeing Ruan Qingshuang about to speak, Xu Yun pulled her and shook his head, whispering, "Those people deserve it."

Qin Wan'er then asked Ruan Qingshuang some more questions. Learning that Ruan Qingshuang, a weak woman, was self-reliant, raising Guoguo, and constantly on guard against the harassment of scoundrels and hooligans, she felt a deep admiration for her.

In the end, it was determined that the Four Wolves Gang had brought this upon themselves, and Xu Yun's actions were purely self-defense, and could even be considered heroic.

"Sister Qingshuang, you can take Guoguo home. Hehe, Guoguo is really cute." Qin Wan'er really wanted to play with Guoguo a bit more.

Ruan Qingshuang was flattered by Qin Wan'er's address. "Officer Qin, if you want to try medicinal cuisine, come to my shop. Guoguo, Xu Yun, and I would all welcome you."

"Sister Qingshuang, don't be so formal. Just call me Wan'er," Qin Wan'er smiled. "I will definitely come to try it!"

"I'll treat you when you come," Guoguo said with a grin.

After teasing Guoguo a bit, Qin Wan'er stood up and called out to Xu Yun, who was about to leave. "Wait a moment."

Xu Yun was taken aback. "What else do you need from me? Didn't you already determine that I'm a good guy? Are you going to give me money? A reward for bravery?"

"Are you dreaming? You want a reward for helping the people by teaching a few hooligans a lesson?" Qin Wan'er shook her head. "Wake up, young man!"

"Then why did you call me? Do you want my phone number?" Xu Yun rubbed his chin. "If you want to ask me out, you'll have to wait until after I finish work at nine in the evening."

Qin Wan'er's face turned dark. "I just want to tell you that I might summon you at any time for this case."

"Why?" Xu Yun was not happy about being watched by the police, even if it was a beautiful officer.

"Why so many questions? Are you a legal citizen? If so, you have the obligation and responsibility to cooperate!" Qin Wan'er said bluntly.

Xu Yun was speechless. "Is that a reason?"

Qin Wan'er turned around gracefully, leaving Xu Yun with her graceful back. "Cooperate with me, and you'll get your rewards!"

Working with the police? What a joke! Xu Yun thought. If it weren't for Guoguo, he would have flipped out long ago. In Xu Yun's mind, the police were synonymous with trouble and annoyance!

...

After leaving the police station, it was almost four in the afternoon. Guoguo decisively canceled the half-day job market tour.

The reason was simple: the only people who would come to apply so late would be either very capable and confident or those who were just dragging their feet and wasting time.

Clearly, the first type wouldn't come to work as a helper in their shop, and the second type wouldn't be worth a hundred yuan to Guoguo.

After some discussion, the two adults and one child decided to head home.

When they returned to the medicinal cuisine shop, Ruan Qingshuang couldn't help but gasp and draw a sharp breath. The glass window facing the street had been smashed, and broken glass was scattered all over the floor.

Guoguo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shouted, "Oh no!" and ran into the shop.

Soon, Guoguo, who had rushed to the front desk, pouted and started to cry. The seven thousand yuan in the drawer was gone.

When Xu Yun saw the smashed window, he understood everything. After careful consideration, he realized that this was unlikely to be the work of an ordinary thief. After all, it was broad daylight, and the nerve to smash a window and steal must be quite strong.

If this wasn't the Four Wolves Gang's revenge, it was likely related to Lu Bao. Lu Bao had dared to sneak in during the lunch rush, so it wasn't hard to imagine him smashing the window.

Moreover, Lu Bao was now in a desperate situation, fearing that the Four Wolves Gang would really beat him to death if he didn't pay back the money!

Ruan Qingshuang was dazed. Business had finally started to improve, but the hard-earned money from the lunch rush was gone in just a few hours. This was a huge blow to her.

Guoguo was so upset that she lost all her usual liveliness, making her look heartbreakingly pitiful.

After catching her breath, Ruan Qingshuang decisively picked up the phone and called the police.
