Officer Wu made no objection when Duan Li agreed to go with Yun Jian.
Adopting a child required a lengthy set of procedures even though Duan Li was not an orphan as her father was still alive. In this case, Yun Jian was a reliable guardian as she was an Advanced Special Forces soldier under Ge Junjian, so Officer Wu let the children go with her after submitting documentation.
The procedures involved would still have to be completed but they were nothing too complicated since Yun Jian’s status was credible. Even if they were complex, Officer Wu would take care of them for her. Even if he was unable to, there was still Ge Junjian.
“Mn. The kids will go with you, then. Contact me anytime if you need to,” Officer Wu nodded at Yun Jian and told her sincerely. He meant it genuinely. Just Yun Jian’s ability was enough to win the policeman over.
“Mn.” Yun Jian nodded at Officer Wu. After bidding goodbye, she turned to leave with Duan Li, Duan Ya, and Yun Zhu to the opposite road.
Duan Li held Duan Ya’s hand while the latter stayed obedient despite not speaking a word all this while.
It was already dinner time when they were at Duan Li’s house earlier and with what had happened, as well as the time taken for their statements in the police station, it was already 7pm right now.
Yun Jian and Yun Zhu both had something to eat but Duan Li had not eaten anything yet. Duan Ya had only eaten some watery congee too.
Duan Li, Duan Ya, and Yun Zhu were around the same age, a growing age, and kids at this stage should be fed well with nutrition the most.
The food that Duan Li and Duan Ya had usually was not only lacking in nutrition, but they also might not even feel full from eating.
Yun Jian held hands with Duan Li and Yun Zhu while Duan Li held hands with her baby sister, Duan Ya, as the four of them made their way across the road. Yun Jian turned to ask Duan Li suddenly, “Chessie, you must be hungry? I’ll take you guys for some food.”
“Okay! Okay! Jiejie, I’m hungry again! Let’s go eat now!” Little Yun Zhu had already eaten but a growing child got hungry easily, of course.
Duan Li hung her head a little but she looked up at Yun Jian anyway with her glittery eyes. “Jiejie, thank you!”
Yun Jian smiled and patted her head before taking all of them to a neighboring restaurant.
...
Back to Ya Dang and Lan Su, both of them had been taking the same route after parting with Yun Jian. It was because the suite Lan Su stayed in and Dong Ruan’s mansion were in the same direction.
As Lan Su and Ya Dang got on their way, they had been competing to see who ran faster, making the pedestrians feel two gusts of wind. Both of them were incredibly competitive people.
It was until Lan Su arrived at her own place that she turned to leave. Before that, she scoffed harshly at Ya Dang, “Humph!”
“Haha!” Ya Dang rubbed the bridge of his nose. This was his first time racing with a woman and they were neck in neck.
After chuckling for a while, he straightened his expression and left toward Dong Ruan’s mansion. He was staying there as Si Yi’s friend and the mansion had plenty of rooms to spare.
Ya Dang met Mo Sen just as he came back to the house.
“Who’s that woman?” Mo Sen asked, crossing his arms in front of himself with his side profile against Ya Dang.
“You saw her?” Ya Dang walked over in his towering height. So Mo Sen had already seen him and Lan Su.
