Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

Yang Mei suddenly clung to Luo Fei's arm with a teasing smile, essentially marking her territory, implying to the other woman that this man was already taken, and she should just give up!

Meanwhile, she secretly pinched his arm.

That's what you get for attracting so much attention!

Innocently blamed Luo Fei just wanted to say, what did I do wrong?

The nurse, seemingly unaware of her implications, joined the conversation with a smile, "Oh, you wouldn't know, but our whole family is a fan of Comrade Luo Fei, especially my son, he looks up to him so much and always says he wants to be a police officer when he grows up!"

"Ah... son, you're married?"

Yang Mei was so shocked that she nearly bit her tongue.

So it was a misunderstanding?

Oh heavens, this is so embarrassing!

In her embarrassment, she instinctively turned to look at Luo Fei, and saw him raise an eyebrow and smile at her, making Yang Mei feel even more awkward.

The nurse looked completely puzzled, "Yeah, I've been married for several years, is there a problem?"

"No, no, I just think you look quite young, not like someone who's married."

Being complimented as young by a beautiful woman, the nurse couldn't stop smiling, "Haha, really? Maybe it's because of my baby face, so I look younger."

She glanced between the two of them again, "Judging by your looks, you must be a couple, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

"I knew it, you two look so perfect together, it'd be a shame if you weren't."

Facing the nurse's aunt-like smile, Yang Mei was so awkward she didn't know how to respond.

Luo Fei said, "By the way, could you take us to see the child?"

The nurse, realizing she had gone off-topic, quickly said, "Sure, sure, please follow me."

They were led into a ward where they saw the little boy Luo Fei had saved last night sitting on the middle bed, with another nurse playing with him.

Upon seeing people enter, the nurse stood up, "Sister Ling, who are they..."

"Xiaozhu, these two are from the detective squad, they're here to see the child."

The nurse called Sister Ling briefly introduced Luo Fei's identity, then bent down to the child, "Little one, haven't you been asking who saved you? This is the police uncle who saved you last night."

Hearing this, the little boy sweetly called out "Uncle."

"You have a nice chat with him, we'll get back to work."

Sister Ling said, pulling her colleague away.

In the ward, Luo Fei and Yang Mei quickly got acquainted with the child, eventually learning that his name was Xiaotian, formally Lin Tian, and he was five years old.

According to Wang Pingchuan last night, Xiaotian was taken from a scenic area in nearby Huang Xu City, so the boy's detailed information was unknown.

Upon learning this, Wang Yong and the others immediately contacted the Huang Xu City Police Department, asking for help in locating the child's parents.

But Huang Xu City is vast, with many missing children, so they could only commit to investigating immediately, but it would still take a day or two to locate the parents.

Seeing Xiaotian was articulate and lively, Luo Fei thought to try getting some useful information from him.

This way, they could bypass some steps and quickly find his parents.

"Xiaotian, how about Uncle tests you now?"

"Okay!"

"What's your home address?"

"My home is at number three, sixth floor!"

"Do you know the name of your community?"

"I don't know."

"What about your mom and dad's names?"

The question seemed to trigger something, and the previously cheerful Xiaotian suddenly pouted, "Mom, I want my mom!"

Luo Fei: ...

"Don't cry, little guy, uncle is trying to find your mom for you, okay? Can you tell uncle your mom's name or phone number?"

"Mom, I want my mom!"

"Alright, alright, we'll find your mom, but how about not crying?"

"Mom..."

No matter how Luo Fei coaxed him, Xiaotian just kept crying, it felt like hitting a hornet's nest.

He wished he could slap himself, he shouldn't have mentioned it!

Just as he was feeling overwhelmed, Yang Mei couldn't take it anymore.

"Luo Fei, this isn't working, let me try."

Laughing and crying, she said as she reached out to take the child from him.

"Xiaotian, no more crying, okay?"

She gently patted Xiaotian's back and whispered something into his ear, making him gradually stop crying.

Not only did he stop crying, but he also held out his chubby hand, "Then let's pinky swear, sister!"

"Okay, pinky swear!"

Yang Mei laughed and hooked her pinky with his, making Xiaotian break into smiles again.

Luo Fei watched in amazement and couldn't help but ask, "Yang Mei, what did you tell him!"

How could she calm him down within a few words when he'd been trying for so long?

"Haha... well, I told him that if he stopped crying, I'd buy him some treats and toys later!"

Luo Fei: ...

Wow, that works!

Faced with his amazement, Yang Mei gave a smug smile, then took out a package of biscuits from her bag.

"Our Xiaotian is such a good boy, here's a reward for you, answer uncle's questions well, and sister will buy you lots of treats later, okay?"

Xiaotian hugged the biscuits, nodding vigorously, "Okay!"

"All set, ask away!"

Luo Fei was skeptical.

Worried about making him cry again, Luo Fei decided to use a gentler approach, "Xiaotian, can you tell us who's in your family?"

"There's mom and dad, grandpa and grandma!"

"Do you remember their names? A phone number would work too."

"I don't remember. But I do remember Pingping mommy's phone number."

Luo Fei frowned, trying to comprehend, "Pingping mommy... who is she to you?"

Mom is mom, where did this Pingping mom come from?

"Uncle, you're silly, Pingping mommy is my kindergarten teacher!"

Suddenly feeling disdained: ...

So this little rascal was doing it on purpose!

Yang Mei couldn't help but chuckle, "Haha Luo Fei, I didn't expect you to be clever all your life, only to be ridiculed by a child."

Luo Fei was at a loss for words, pretending he didn't hear, "So, what's the number for your Pingping mommy?"

"It's 135..." Lin Tian stumbled over the numbers, finally reciting a phone number.

Luo Fei skeptically dialed it, discovering it was indeed a Huang Xu City number.

There's hope! He immediately got excited.

Once the call was answered, he asked, "Hello, is this Teacher Pingping from kindergarten?"

"Yes, this is she. May I know who's calling..."

"I'm with Jiangzhou City's Jiangning County detective squad, and I'd like to know if your kindergarten recently lost a child named Lin Tian?"

"Yes, yes, little Lin Tian from our class has been missing for almost a month, officer, did you find him?" Teacher Pingping asked excitedly.

"Yes, we have the child at our county hospital, but he's been adamant about finding his parents, so could you notify them to contact us as soon as possible?"

"Certainly, I'll contact his parents immediately!"

Yang Mei, overhearing the conversation, asked him once he hung up, "What did they say?"

"She said they indeed have a child named Lin Tian, it seems there's no mistake."

"That's great, that's great, little Lin Tian, you are amazing, come on, sister will take you to buy toys and snacks now!"

Yang Mei exclaimed excitedly, immediately picking up Lin Tian to fulfill her promise.

Having received information about Lin Tian's parents, a weight lifted off Luo Fei's shoulders.

The two said goodbye to the nurses and took Lin Tian out for a while.

Upon their return, they were carrying big and small bags of snacks, and Lin Tian was hugging an Ultraman toy, looking absolutely delighted.
