This was not excessive, Xing Yuan nodded in agreement.
An Xun Jie's expression was complicated. Although he didn't know her reasons for not wanting to go home, he wouldn't force her.
Perhaps she just couldn't accept the reality for a moment and would be willing to go home later!
As for telling his parents she was no longer alive, he certainly wouldn't lie about that. They couldn't bear such a blow. He said solemnly, "If one day you're willing to come home, we'll always welcome you."
"Okay!" Xing Yuan smiled, a relaxed smile.
She paused, then pulled out a few strands of hair, put them in a transparent bag, and handed it to him, saying softly, "Then I'll trouble you."
Xing Yuan was not accustomed to having family, and An Xun Jie was no exception.
So, the two parted ways very quickly.
An Xun Jie also kept his promise. After finding a highly confidential institution for the identification, he returned to school.
"How was it? Is she the person we're looking for?" Pei Yu rushed over, more anxious than An Xun Jie himself.
An Xun Jie sighed and shook his head with a hint of disappointment, "No! She just looks alike."
"You have to keep this a secret for me too! You absolutely cannot let my parents know, otherwise, how sad they'll be to have their hopes dashed!"
An Xun Jie's fringe covered his emotions, and Pei Yu didn't suspect anything.
From childhood to adulthood, An Xun Jie had never lied to her. Moreover, for such a big matter, if he had confirmed it, it would definitely be true.
Pei Yu patted his shoulder comfortingly, "It's okay. Maybe, maybe she's still alive somewhere on Earth! It's just that we might not have the chance to meet again."
"Mmm," An Xun Jie nodded gently.
As long as he knew that the person connected to him by blood was alive and well, even if they couldn't be together day and night like a normal family, it would be enough.
Xing Yuan held her phone for a long time before sending a message: I miss you!
Miraculously, Ling Chen Yue, who usually didn't check her phone much, seemed to sense her bad mood and replied immediately.
"I miss you too."
Ling Chen Yue smiled, a hint of sweetness spreading through her heart. "I've been a bit busy with work lately, but it'll be wrapped up tomorrow! I'll take you out to play then, okay?"
Xing Yuan: (★^o^★)!
"Really? Sister, you can't lie to me this time! I hate girlfriends who go back on their word the most."
Ling Chen Yue thought of the last time she promised to have dinner with her but was called away by a phone call. Although she knew Xing Yuan couldn't see it, she still nodded.
As if feeling a bit foolish, Ling Chen Yue sent another message, "No, I promise."
"Hehe, I believe you, Sister. You go ahead and be busy!" Xing Yuan happily turned off her phone and rolled around on the bed.
Then she sat up and called Wang Yu Bei.
"Tonight's operation, go easy! Don't you dare injure my people, or you're finished," Xing Yuan warned.
Wang Yu Bei's veins bulged on his forehead, but due to the leverage Xing Yuan held over him, he had no choice but to compromise, "I know."
Then he contacted his subordinates and repeatedly emphasized, "Tonight's operation is just a bait, a freebie. Try not to injure those cops, otherwise, the rest of the plan won't proceed."
His subordinates immediately understood and assured him, "Boss, don't worry. We'll retreat as soon as we get the signal, leaving a few fools for them."
So, when Ling Chen Yue and her team took action that evening, they encountered very little resistance. The opponents seemed to resist only symbolically before scattering and fleeing.
The spoils of their operation that night were more than the sum of their previous operations, as if they were deliberately given to them.
This strange behavior made them suspicious of the goods, fearing there might be a problem. After a simple inspection, they were sent to a specialized isolation room and decided to transfer them to another location after confirming their safety.
Xing Yuan watched this farce remotely, her face as dark as could be.
Whose play was this fake? They were all idiots, unable to even act properly. Such a bunch of trash.
Xing Yuan was furious, but the die was cast. She couldn't bring in new actors at the last minute, so she had to accept it.
Fortunately, those they captured knew nothing, and were just there to fill the numbers.
Therefore, the police department only suspected they had some conspiracy and would never have imagined that this was Xing Yuan's stepping stone for the person she loved, even though this stepping stone seemed to have broken in half before knocking on the door.
Ling Chen Yue had never been in love before, so she naturally poured all her energy into her work. Even during her holidays, she would consciously work overtime.
But now it was different. After tasting the sweetness of love, she had been successfully swept into someone else's life.
Before their date, Ling Chen Yue, at the suggestion of a friend, went to a flower shop.
But the dazzling array of flowers made her eyes blur, and she pondered with a conflicted mind, what kind of flowers did she like?
The florist saw the short-haired woman hesitating at the entrance and proactively said, "Hello, what kind of flowers are you looking for? I can help you recommend some. Our flowers are very fresh."
"Really? Then, what kind of flowers should I give to a girlfriend?" Ling Chen Yue asked.
The florist smiled knowingly, her smile undiminished, "To a girlfriend, right? Usually, people give roses. Shall I wrap a bouquet for you?"
Ling Chen Yue frowned, thought about Xing Yuan's image, and shook her head, "Too gaudy. It feels like she wouldn't like it."
Although she always appeared very forward in front of him, she felt that her personality was not the passionate and outgoing type.
"How about lilies? They symbolize eternal love." The florist picked up a bouquet and continued to recommend.
Ling Chen Yue gently touched the pink petals. It seemed quite suitable for her. She nodded, "Wrap a bouquet for me."
What a nice blessing! Could they really be together for a hundred years?
She knew from the beginning that this path would be difficult, but she still nodded and agreed to take responsibility.
Because there were few things she cared about, and she happened to be one of them.
The two arranged to meet in a park. As soon as they met, they exchanged the flowers in their hands.
Xing Yuan stared at the flowers in front of her for a moment, then smiled gently and said playfully, "Sister! We really have such good chemistry. We even bought the same flowers."
Ling Chen Yue also stared at the flowers in her hand, and upon hearing Xing Yuan's words, she nodded seriously, her brow furrowing slightly, annoyed, "I should have bought something else."
