Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

To be honest, Tang Cuifang is still somewhat in disbelief.

But she just talked to Luo Fei out of curiosity and look at that, the daughter has already been found, she still feels like she's dreaming.

"Haha, Aunt Tang, you guessed right..."

Now there's no need to worry that she will be disappointed again, so Yang Mei laughed and explained the whole story, only omitting some key details.

After listening, Tang Cuifang looked at Luo Fei, who was too shocked to speak.

He could determine there was a problem just by one look and trace it back to solve the case.

Even though she's not a police officer, she can feel how terrifying Luo Fei's case-solving ability is!

Looking at her expression, Yang Mei laughed, "Haha, Aunt Tang, don't you think Luo Fei is awesome? Actually, all of us were quite shocked by him."

"Indeed, very impressive."

Tang Cuifang nodded earnestly, which made Luo Fei, who was sorting vegetables aside, blush a bit.

Tang Cuifang and Yang Mei were chatting and laughing, yet their hands were constantly busy.

Soon, a large table of delicious food full of color and aroma was ready.

Yang Mei also went to call Zheng Huan, and the four of them sat down at the table.

Tang Cuifang poured juice for each of them and said to Luo Fei, "Luo Fei, you helped me get Huanhuan back, Aunt Tang doesn't even know how to thank you, let me toast to you!"

"Aunt Tang, there's no need for that, it was just a small favor, and besides, it wasn't just my effort..."

"Nevertheless, thank you. If it weren't for you discovering those two traffickers, we wouldn't have found Huanhuan's whereabouts. You must drink this toast no matter what."

Tang Cuifang got a bit teary-eyed as she spoke excitedly.

Luo Fei had no choice but to drink with her.

Then Yang Mei quickly pulled Tang Cuifang to sit down, "Alright Aunt Tang, no need to be so formal with us. If you really want to thank us, you might as well cook us more delicious meals in the future."

Hearing this, Tang Cuifang couldn't help but laugh, "That's no problem, as long as you're willing, Aunt Tang promises to cook for you every day without repeating any dish."

"Haha, that's great, but Aunt Tang, make sure to not get tired of us later."

"I won't, I can't wait for you to come every day."

Yang Mei's remarks immediately livened up the atmosphere.

The few of them started eating happily, and during the meal, Tang Cuifang eagerly served food to the three of them, wishing to fill everyone's bowls to the brim.

After finishing the meal, Zheng Huan spoke to them briefly before heading back to her room to review her school work.

Yang Mei asked, "By the way, Aunt Tang, now that Huanhuan is back, what about her schooling?"

"I plan to transfer her to Ningjiang High School once her household registration is changed back. I've contacted her old school, and they said they'll help us get a transfer certificate."

"That's good. It's closer, so you can take care of her more easily. By the way, Luo Fei, isn't your brother also in Ningjiang High School, in his first year? Can he help look after her?"

"Of course he can. I'll tell my brother when I get back, Aunt Tang, notify me once you have everything arranged."

"Alright, much appreciated."

They chatted for a while longer before standing up to say goodbye.

At Tang Cuifang's house, they hadn't noticed, but Luo Fei checked the time and realized it was almost eight o'clock.

They had been at her house for nearly three hours.

"Yang Mei, where to next?"

"It's getting late, let's head directly home."

"Alright."

As Luo Fei started the car, he thought for a moment then spoke, "By the way, Yang Mei, there's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Today Captain Zhao told me there's a possibility that I'll be transferred to the city criminal investigation team with him."

"Are you getting promoted?"

"More or less, Captain Zhao said I should become the team leader of the first group there."

"The team leader in Jiangzhou City's Criminal Police Squad is a formal regiment-level position, the same level as my uncle now."

Yang Mei said, filled with joy for him, "Congratulations, Luo Fei!"

She had long known that this man wouldn't stay in this small town forever, and now her judgment was correct.

Luo Fei couldn't help but remind, "But with this, we won't be able to go to and from work together anymore..."

Yang Mei looked a bit wistful at first but soon perked up, "What's the big deal? When love endures, don't let time dictate it."

"Besides, if I miss you afterward, I can always drive to the town to find you. It's not that far anyway."

Luo Fei had been worried she might not be able to accept it, but hearing her words, he smiled too.

"You're right, and today Captain Zhao promised that we're only separating temporarily; later he'll find a chance to transfer you to the city too."

"That's even better."

Talking with her relieved Luo Fei's concerns, and he relaxed.

Before long, they arrived at his apartment building.

Before parting, he remembered Wu Yan's advice and said, "By the way, are you free this weekend? Why not come over for a meal at my place?"

Previously, Yang Mei had felt awkward meeting Luo Fei's family.

But after a brief encounter yesterday, she found Wu Yan wasn't as difficult to approach as she'd imagined, so she agreed without much hesitation.

After exchanging a few more words, she drove away.

Upon returning home, Luo Fei found Wu Yan sitting on the sofa stringing beads.

The mother and son chatted briefly; after mentioning that Yang Mei would come for dinner on the weekend, Luo Fei went to take a shower.

In the bathroom, as he turned on the showerhead, his consciousness entered the space again.

The system prompt sounded timely, "Ding, congratulations Host for successfully disrupting the Chen Chahua case, earning a reward of 400 Gold Coins."

Watching the Gold Coins increase from 1100 to 1500, Luo Fei contentedly exited the system.

After finishing his shower, he returned to find Wu Yan still stringing beads.

"Mom, it's getting late, you should rest early, you have to get up for work tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll finish this and go to sleep, you go ahead and sleep."

"Alright, I'll head to my room."

...

After a good night's sleep, in the morning, Luo Fei woke up to find Wu Yan had already left for work, and breakfast was still warm in the pot.

After waking his siblings, he quickly had breakfast and went to work.

There wasn't much going on at the police station today, so everyone returned to their usual leisure.

Chatting away and dawdling, the day quickly passed.

The following days were much the same.

In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend.

Early that morning, Wu Yan woke Luo Fei and his siblings up.

Luo Fei and Luo Xiaoxiao were fine with it, but Luo Hao kept yawning and complaining, "Mom, it's hard to get to sleep in on vacation, why wake us up so early?"

"I told you to sleep early at night, but you wouldn't listen. It's already seven o'clock, it's not early at all! Look at yourself, no wonder your grades aren't good!"

Wu Yan nagged a bit, then started delegating tasks, "After breakfast, you and Xiaoxiao tidy up the house, clean what's necessary, and mop the floor."

"Luo Fei, you come with me to the market, let's buy more groceries."

Luo Hao woke up halfway, "Mom, is this a holiday?"

Cleaning and grocery shopping—usually, this level of preparedness occurs only during festivals in their home.

He wracked his brain, but couldn't figure out what holiday it was today.

"No, it's just that your sister-in-law Yang Mei is coming over for dinner later."

"You mean brother's girlfriend?"

"Yes, just a heads-up, you two should behave when Yang Mei comes. If you offend your future sister-in-law, see if I won't smack you!"

Wu Yan warned her son and daughter, lastly giving Luo Hao a stern glare.

Luo Hao immediately protested, "Mom, do you think I'm that foolish?"

He's not out of his mind, why would he offend his future sister-in-law?

"You better know that, now hurry and eat, and work quickly after!"

With that, the family swiftly finished breakfast, and Wu Yan took Luo Fei out the door.
