The little girl called out softly, "Thank you, Sister."
In the interrogation room next door, Liu Hua handed two packets of dicine to Bai Qingrui. "Qingqing, use these. I guarantee they have no side effects."
Bai Qingrui felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason. "Aunt, is this another concoction you've co up with?"
Liu Hua shook her finger. "No, this one was developed by An Yan. Keep it and use it."
Sui Jinhong arrived a few steps behind, accompanied by Ye Wan and Sui Anqing upon hearing the news.
As soon as Sui Anqing entered the police station, she began looking around. "Sister! Police Sister, where is my sister? The short, sowhat silly little short one!"
Ye Anning frowned as she walked over. "Sui Anqing, don't talk about An Yan like that."
Sui Anqing was a little afraid of Ye Anning. "Okay, then where is Yan Sister? I brought her so small cakes."
Leaning against a wall, Xu Mo's tone was rather cold. "Besides eating, do you ever think of anything else?"
Sui Anqing touched her nose self-consciously. "I... I brought them for Yan Sister."
Shen Nian chid in rcilessly, "An Yan will definitely be upset if she knows you called her a little short one."
Sui Anqing retreated weakly. "But it's true, isn't it? I didn't say anything bad about Yan Sister. I think she's really cute!"
Just like a little sister!
As they bickered with each other, Sui Jinhong and Ye Wan went to find Liu Hua and the others with grave and concerned expressions.
Sui Jinhong frowned as he asked Xu Yi, "What have you found out? How is An Yan doing now?"
Xu Yi's brows remained furrowed. "We haven't found much. All we know so far is that the man driving the car had likely been in contact with a man surnad Lu, but the details are still unclear."
Surnad Lu...
Sui Jinhong's expression froze for a mont. He pursed his lips, sent a few ssages, and his entire deanor turned gloomy.
Ye Wan sensed that Sui Jinhong seed to know sothing, and was about to ask him discreetly when Sui Jinhong suddenly looked up and asked, "Where's Bai Qingrui? I need to talk to him about sothing."
Liu Hua narrowed her eyes, also sensing sothing amiss. She tilted her chin toward the interrogation room. "Over there."
Without hesitation, Sui Jinhong went and knocked on the door.
Bai Qingrui was still standing inside, looking down at the disheveled man.
"Knock, knock."
At the sound of the knock, he gave the driver a cold look before turning to leave.
"Uncle Sui, you're here too?" Bai Qingrui raised an eyebrow.
Sui Jinhong spoke calmly, "I have a lead."
He recounted the incident involving the Lu Yunling family from years ago concisely, then fell silent.
Bai Qingrui was silent for a long ti. "...So, this incident is very likely related to their family again?"
Sui Jinhong waved his phone, showing Bai Qingrui the ssage he had just received. "In fact, it has basically been confird."
Bai Qingrui's gaze lingered on Sui Jinhong's phone screen for a few seconds, taking in the contents of the ssage.
"Sir, the two mbers of the Lu family were recently released from prison. This incident is related to their eldest son."
Bai Qingrui knew about this case. He only knew that Sui Jinhong, along with people from the Qi family, had sent a couple to prison at the ti. That couple had indeed committed several cris, so he didn't pay much attention to the matter.
However, he never expected that the couple's daughter would harbor such malice toward his sister.
He lowered his gaze, lost in thought.
The two fell silent until a phone call broke the atmosphere.
Bai Qingrui pressed his temples, sounding a little impatient as he answered the call. "Hello?"
Whatever the person on the other end said made him grow wary. "What do you want with her?"
Sui Jinhong couldn't hear what the other person was saying, but he saw Bai Qingrui's expression change from a frown to one of utter shock.
After hanging up, Bai Qingrui seed dazed, unresponsive to Sui Jinhong's words.
Sui Jinhong didn't want to disturb him further. "You keep at it. I'll have soone look into whether they can find any other information."
But shortly after Sui Jinhong left, Bai Qingrui ca rushing out, calling out, "Aunt!"
Liu Hua stood up abruptly. "What's wrong? Did you find sothing out?"
Xu Yi and Ye Wan also stood up, looking at Bai Qingrui with concern. But Bai Qingrui only asked, "Aunt, where's An Yan?"
Liu Hua let out a long breath. "An Yan and her brother and sister are in the resting area next door. A girl just took them there."
Bai Qingrui's expression was grave. "Aunt, did you know that An Yan sent a dicinal formula to the research institute?"
Liu Hua was taken aback. "I knew that. I taught her to do it because she wanted to know the level of the dicine she had researched."
Bai Qingrui paused. "Then... do you know which formula she sent?"
Liu Hua hesitated. "I'm not really sure about that. An Yan likes to tinker in my lab whenever she has free ti. I don't know how many things she's co up with. But she does give so interesting powders sotis, like the one I just gave you."
Bai Qingrui wiped the sweat from his brow. "Aunt, I think you should ask An Yan about it. I just received information from the research institute."
As a woman who had been invited by the national research institute several tis, Liu Hua sensed that sothing was amiss.
Feeling both proud and a little worried, she turned and headed toward the room where Sui Yan and the others were waiting.
Sui Yan was hugging an ugly but adorable large stuffed animal, lying on the long bench and asleep.
When Sui Anqing entered, she instinctively lowered her voice. "Yan Sister is sleeping?"
The others hushed her softly. "You know she is, and you still say it!"
Sui Anqing touched her nose, not daring to make any more noise.
The little girl, who seed to be sleeping restlessly, turned over and mumbled a few words before continuing to sleep.
Liu Hua walked in and couldn't help but frown when she saw her sleeping daughter. She whispered, "Why is An Yan sleeping here? Doesn't she worry about catching a cold? Looks like she really was scared today!"
After seeing the replies to others' ssages on his phone, Sui Yu raised his head and said, "Mom, why did you co here? Did Qingqing and his brother find anything out?"
They had a bird's-eye view, going directly to the Lu family and uncovering quite a bit of information.
Liu Hua shook her head, "I don't know about that side yet. I ca here to ask Yan sothing, but she's asleep, so never mind. I'll go see if I can get a blanket to cover Yan. She can't sleep like that."
