Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

After a brief understanding of the situation, Qin Mei hurried forward to comfort her.

Perhaps because she was relatively familiar, Liao Dandan finally gradually calmed down.

Seeing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

But considering the current situation, it was obviously not suitable to question her further, so Luo Fei and Yang Mei discussed it and decided to ask Qin Mei to keep an eye on Liao Dandan's situation. Then they took a strand of her hair and left.

Fortunately, Liao Dandan's school required students to live on campus, so they weren't worried that her foster parents would notice anything.

"Liao Dandan's behavior today might be due to psychological barriers caused by her childhood abduction. If she continues to resist recalling the past, the situation could become very tricky."

In the car, Gao Meng said.

Yang Mei was somewhat frustrated. She initially thought that as long as they confirmed Liao Dandan's identity, they could take her back immediately. But seeing Liao Dandan like this, she was not so sure anymore…

"There's nothing we can do now. We must quickly compare her hair sample with Aunt Tang's hair sample. If it's confirmed she's Aunt Tang's child, you can arrest Liao Mingjin and his wife."

The law states that those who buy abducted children are guilty as well.

Currently, Gao Meng and the others hadn't acted against Liao Mingjin and his wife simply because there wasn't enough evidence yet.

"Aunt Tang? So, are Liao Dandan's parents related to Comrade Yang Mei?"

Gao Meng then realized why they were personally handling this case.

Yang Mei shook her head, "Not exactly relatives, Liao Dandan's father was my mentor."

"Mentor?"

"Yes, he was the captain of our police technical team, but later he was murdered by a killer while pursuing a serial murder case and died in the line of duty."

Gao Meng's previously calm expression turned solemn upon hearing this.

"So that's how it is!"

He hadn't expected that Liao Dandan's biological father was a policeman and had died so tragically.

That convinced him that he couldn't let his comrade die without peace!

Overwhelmed with sorrow, he immediately promised, "Rest assured, we will do whatever it takes to bring Liao Dandan home."

"But Comrade Yang Mei, have you considered that if Liao Dandan has deep feelings for her foster parents, she might resist coming home once she knows we've arrested them?"

Gao Meng's words brought silence to the car.

According to the country's law, both buyers and sellers are equally guilty in trafficking cases.

But each year, the police face the biggest obstacle of not incomplete evidence, or denials from buyers, but resistance from the trafficked children themselves in such cases.

Because children who have been trafficked are generally found years later, during which time they have developed feelings for the buyers and regard them as their real parents, trying every means to excuse them from charges.

In extreme cases, some even refuse to acknowledge their biological parents unless they drop the case.

Having handled many such cases, they all felt a deep sense of helplessness at that moment.

Especially when Yang Mei thought of Tang Cuifang waiting at home for her daughter, fearing that Liao Dandan might be like those children…

Seeing her worry, Luo Fei said, "Let's not overthink it now. We'll decide what to do when the results come out."

While speaking, they had returned to the police station.

But Yang Mei and her companion dared not rest; after quickly thanking Gao Meng, they rushed to the criminal police team in Danyang City.

They handed the hair samples from Liao Dandan and Tang Cuifang to the technical team, asking them to conduct the test as soon as possible. Then they returned to Lishui County.

Finding a hotel to stay in, they reported the situation to Zhao Donglai over the phone.

After that, they couldn't help but talk about Liao Dandan.

Considering her emotional state, the two decided to wait for the paternity test results before visiting Liao Dandan again.

With a plan in mind, they each returned to their rooms to rest.

However, plans can't keep up with changes. At about one in the morning, Luo Fei received a call from Gao Meng.

"Comrade Luo Fei, hurry to Liao Dandan's school, something's happened!"

Luo Fei instantly shook off his sleepiness, quickly got up, and asked, "Director Gao, what's happened?"

"Principal Lin just called, saying that Liao Dandan suddenly started crying and causing a scene in the middle of the night. It's very unusual. I'm heading there now."

"Understood, we'll head over immediately."

Ending the call quickly, Luo Fei rushed to the next room to wake Yang Mei, and the two of them sped towards Linshui First High School with urgency.

Luo Fei drove at lightning speed and arrived almost simultaneously with Gao Meng.

As soon as they met, they had no time for small talk, speeding towards the girls' dormitory building.

From a distance, they could hear an argument.

"I'm taking my own child with me. How dare you stop me! Let go of my daughter, or we'll call the police!"

"Your school dares to stop parents from picking up their children? Believe me, I'll complain to the education bureau!"

"Please, both of you stay calm. It's not that we're preventing you from picking up your child, but given Liao's current state, you can see for yourselves. Why don't we wait for the police officers to arrive and then discuss?"

"No, we're taking our daughter home. Why should we wait for the officers? Make way now!"

Hearing this, they all turned pale and hurriedly increased their pace, running towards the commotion.

Arriving at the dormitory, they saw many people gathered. Among them, led by Lin Hai, were the school's staff.

Beside them was an older couple, both with angry expressions, confronting Lin Hai and his team.

No need to ask; they knew this couple must be Liao Dandan's adoptive parents.

Standing behind Lin Hai were Liao Dandan and her homeroom teacher, Qin Mei.

Currently, Liao Dandan was tightly clutching Qin Mei's waist, sobbing in her embrace.

Facing the previous generation, the Liao Mingjin couple, Lin Hai was caught in a dilemma. He was relieved to see Gao Meng and the others as if seeing saviors.

"Director Gao, you're finally here!" He quickly walked up to them.

"Principal Lin, what's going on? Didn't we say not to alarm Liao Dandan's parents for now?"

"Director Gao, it's not my fault. Late at night, Liao Dandan suddenly started causing a scene, and nothing the classmates said could calm her down. The dormitory supervisor, unaware of the situation, called her parents, and it led to this…" Lin Hai explained helplessly, spreading his hands.

Now they understood the context.

Gao Meng stepped forward and looked at Liao Mingjin and his wife, "Are you Liao Dandan's adoptive parents?"

Seeing Lin Hai address him as Director Gao, Qin Mei's face immediately showed a look of fear.

Liao Mingjin still remained calm, angrily retorting, "What adoptive parents, we are her real parents! Dandan, come, let's go home with mom and dad!"

Showing no intention of arguing further with Gao Meng, he reached out to grab Liao Dandan, but was blocked by Lin Hai and others.

Hearing this, Liao Dandan's emotions seemed to reach a peak, and she suddenly cried out to Wang Meng, "No, police uncle, save me, they're not my parents!"

Silence fell for a second before Liao Mingjin suddenly shouted angrily, "You ungrateful girl, what nonsense are you talking!"

Qin Fang followed, sobbing, "Dandan, are you having a nightmare? How can mom and dad not be your parents? Stop talking nonsense."

Yet, under Gao Meng's piercing gaze, she nervously lowered her head almost to the ground.

"I'm not lying, my mom's name is Tang Cuifang, and my dad is Zheng Bei. I'm a second-grade student at Ningjiang Primary School..."

"Shut up, you ungrateful brat, believe me, I'll beat you to death!"

Liao Mingjin angrily cut her off, roaring as he lunged at Liao Dandan.

His face contorted, veins bulging, enraged to the utmost.

Luckily, Luo Fei had been watching his every move and immediately blocked his attempt.

Liao Dandan, terrified, once again hid in Qin Mei's embrace.
