Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 443 He too will chase his own light...

The police intimidated the couple, and things were handled quickly afterwards. After the couple pressed their fingerprints, the police immediately took the letter of severance but showed no intention of leaving.

Thinking about what he was going to say next, the police officer secretly cheered himself up.

Such a family was the girl's unfortunate reincarnation, but fortunately, someone was willing to lend a helping hand and save her.

The comrade from Kyoto said he would find her an adoptive family, and presumably their family conditions wouldn't be too bad. Her days should finally be over.

When Pan Di's mother saw that the person didn't move, she immediately frowned. She was just waiting to finish so that the police could be sent away.

She had already thought it through: she would only drop her off at the door, not any further, otherwise the gossipy neighbors would keep asking her all sorts of questions, which would be very annoying.

Then the police spoke up again, "Also, although Pandi is your child, what you did was illegal. The human traffickers have already been arrested. You can't go unpunished. Hand over the money you got from selling Pandi."

This was like a bolt from the blue; the couple were stunned for a long time before they could find their voices again.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't pursue the matter?"

The police officer kindly explained to them, "It's Pan Di who won't pursue the matter; she's willing to exchange a letter of severance for not pursuing you. But now it's the Public Security Bureau that will pursue you."

Fearing they might not understand, he explained further, "This is clearly stipulated by our country's laws. If Pan Di doesn't sue you, you can be exempted from criminal liability and won't have to go to jail like those human traffickers."

However, the public security organs also have the power to confiscate your illegal gains, that is, the proceeds from selling Pan Di, and also impose fines, which you deserve.

Do you understand? Breaking the law comes at a price. Right now, the confiscation of stolen money and the fine are already the lightest punishments.

Otherwise, they'd probably put you in jail for a few years.

The police spoke with righteous indignation, leaving the couple completely bewildered. How much money could that be?!

Why do we have to spend so much money on that brat even though she's no longer family with them?

What were they after in selling their daughter? Now things have completely backfired.

"Oh my god, this is going to kill us! Where are we going to get that much money? How are we supposed to live? I knew she was a debt collector! She's gone, but she's still causing trouble for us!"

Pan Di's mother cried with great intensity, and her father's face was also gloomy, but so what?

If the police were a little hesitant when they tricked someone into signing a letter of severance, now they are enforcing the law seriously and are absolutely not being dishonest.

"I can see you don't want the neighbors to know about this, so stop crying and making a scene. Otherwise, it will only make things worse. Just pay the fine and the stolen money quickly, and this matter will be over."

As they spoke, the police pulled out another receipt with the amount, time, and nature of the payment already filled in, and it was also stamped.

Pan Di's parents' eyelids twitched upon seeing him, but finally their minds cleared a bit. "May I see your work ID, comrade?"

It's no wonder they doubted the identity of the police officer; his actions were simply too unpredictable.

The police officer showed no anger whatsoever, deftly pulled out his identification, and let them hold it and examine it carefully.

"Absolutely genuine. If you don't believe me, you can go to the brigade headquarters and call the provincial public security bureau to ask if I exist."

Holding the police ID booklet in my hand felt so hot! Although I couldn't read, they recognized Guo Hui; it had a red stamp, and even the photo matched.

Furthermore, since they had done something wrong, the couple dared not go out to call and verify.

"So, can we settle the account now? If you still don't believe me, you can come with me to the Provincial Public Security Bureau. Wouldn't that put your mind at ease?"

The police officer's words were indeed gentle, but the couple felt a chill seep into their very bones.

Finally, Pan Di's father gritted his teeth and said, "We'll pay whatever it costs!"

"The father of my child!"

Pan Di's mother was still unwilling to give up, "It's just selling a child, and it's her own child. It's not like no one has ever sold a child before, so why is it that our family is the only one in such big trouble?"

The police officer immediately turned cold and snatched his identification from her hand. "Do you have any evidence for what you're saying? If it's true, please tell us the truth. Cooperating with the police is your duty."

Pan Di's mother's resentment quickly subsided. How could she possibly explain it clearly? Wasn't this something everyone already knew?

If they told the truth, their whole family wouldn't be able to stay in Ganqiao Brigade anymore.

They have no choice but to accept what happened today.

The couple finally cried their hearts out about their longing for a younger brother.

……

Another two days later.

Chu Xin saw Pan Di, who was carrying a letter of severance of ties and a "huge sum" of sixty yuan, off onto the train bound for Su Province.

Pan Di had never ridden a train before, and his way of looking around showed that he was a country bumpkin. Chu Yunting looked at him with a mixture of disdain and worry.

"He's so short, what if he gets kidnapped on the train?"

His worries were completely unnecessary. Pan Di is very cunning; if she doesn't want to leave, no one can persuade her otherwise. Of course, if she gets knocked unconscious, that's another story.

Anyway, Chu Xin didn't have this worry.

Zhou Yichen is always prudent in his work, and besides, he might as well take advantage of the favor he owes someone.

"Don't worry, Lu Chen will have someone keep an eye on things on the train to ensure a safe arrival."

The first step in my brother's life change officially began after he boarded the train. Although it felt like a dream, he wasn't completely out of his mind.

She leaned against the car window, a wide grin spreading across her face, her eyes brimming with tears. "Sister, thank you. You wait, I'll definitely repay you someday!"

Chu Xin curled her lips, but her eyes were cold.

"The family you're going to is my relative. If you disobey me or dare to disobey me, I'll make you regret ever meeting me!"

Pan Di paused for a moment, then was overjoyed. His eyes, which had been on the verge of tears just a second ago, immediately lit up with a bright light, as if they had been fitted with searchlights, dazzling and radiant.

"So I'll be your relative from now on? Hahaha, I'm so happy! Don't worry, that day will never come!"

"Hmph, don't be too smug. If you want to be relatives with us, you have to be presentable. If we see you still acting like this, it would be too embarrassing."

Chu Yunting gave a haughty snort; although his words were a bit harsh, they were still meant to encourage.

"I……"

"Woo--Woo--"

The train slowly started moving, and the whistle sounded. Pan Di's words, which she shouted with her mouth wide open, were drowned out by the following roar, and Chu Yunting couldn't hear what she was saying.

I shrugged indifferently. As long as the little girl isn't stupid, she should know what the best course of action is.

He turned his head, about to say, "Let's go back."

A loud, clear female voice suddenly rang out from the train after it had traveled some distance, "I have no way to repay your life-saving grace but to repay you with my body. I will definitely be a good daughter to your relatives and I will absolutely not hold you back..."

After that, I couldn't hear anything more. On the train, which was getting farther and farther away, all I could see was a short arm waving vigorously.

Chu Yunting couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose. "Little Chu, write a letter to your grandfather or aunt later. If you have the chance, teach that girl. It's terrible to be uneducated. Is that how you use the phrase 'a life-saving grace'?"

That's absolutely laughable.

Chu Xin rolled her eyes at him, put her hands in her coat pockets, and turned to walk back. "How dare you talk about others like that? So what if you're cultured? You still misuse idioms."

Chu Yunting wouldn't stand for it and quickly chased after him.

"Even if I misused it, I wouldn't have made such a big fool of myself. She hasn't even called you 'sister' yet, and you're already protecting her like this. It's really hurting my feelings."

"laugh!"

"Huh? What do you mean by that?"

"The literal meaning..."

The heatwave on the platform gradually dissipated after the train departed, and the people who came to see them off also left. Chu Yunting's figure chasing after Chu Xin demanding an explanation seemed more like someone arguing for the best right in front of someone very important.

As Zhou Yichen watched the two figures getting further and further away, he suddenly smiled gently and sped up to catch up.

He, too, will chase his own light...
