  ……

  Private office, quiet with only long sighs left.

  He narrowed his eyes, and Ye Changhu was anxiously smoking, quietly waiting for the test results of the transformation into a fragrant cigarette.

  Suddenly, there was a phone call coming in, he quickly picked it up and took a look, but had a few parts of shock and disappointment.

  "Hey, Xiao Shen, what's up?"

  "Hey, is that Uncle Ye? Uh... Is Ye Cai really single?" The young man on the other end stuttered.

  Ye Changhu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but wonder if his daughter had found a boyfriend without him knowing.

  "What's going on? Tell me in detail."

  "Uh, I just, made a guess, it was, what her friend said."

  "Is she your friend?"

  Raising an eyebrow, Ye Changhu seemed to have caught on to something and took a deep drag of his cigarette before asking: "Which friend? What's their name?"

  "Uh, haha, I guess I made a mistake..."

  "It's okay, if we don't know each other, just describe him and I'll probably know who it is."

  "Uh... tall, very slender, about 1 meter 7... oh, and golden hair."

  Tall and slender?

  Blonde?

  Who else could it be besides Liu Youyou?

  Thinking of the ambiguous relationship that might exist between them, Ye Changhu, puffing on his cigarette, couldn't help but smile wryly. After a moment's thought, he said, "Never mind, never mind, that girl was just talking nonsense, go after her with confidence."

  "Hehe......" The young man was too embarrassed to speak.

  "Uh...alright, you two try getting along for now, and I'll arrange a formal meeting between her and you another day, okay? No pressure, just go with what you think is suitable. Alright?" Leaf Changhu took the cigarette out of his mouth, his attitude suddenly becoming gentle and sincere, no longer as overbearing, even with a hint of compromise and reconciliation.

  "Uh, okay, so... about my mom..." The young man started stuttering again.

  "Don't worry, the cost of hospitalization and care will be covered by me first. I've already contacted the Welfare Fund Association, and in a few days, someone will come to conduct an investigation and interview, just a formality. Don't worry," Ye Changhu said with a smile.

  "After a long silence, he finally said - 'Oh... that's troublesome. I'll hang up now.'"

  "Yeah, let's grab a few drinks together another time."

  He hung up the phone, and Ye Changhu let out a sigh, once again bringing the cigarette butt to his lips, narrowing his eyes as the pale blue smoke swirled lazily around his field of vision. He thought of Shen Yixuan's despondency and loneliness before hanging up the phone, and couldn't help but smile bitterly several times.

  It was indeed the young people who grew up in poverty and hardship, whose thoughts and sense of smell were delicate and sharp. Ye Changhu sighed silently.

  Perhaps Shen Yixuan understood the implication of his words, which was to stop forcing interactions with Ye Cai and not bother asking for Shen Yixuan's help anymore. After all, it seemed that his daughter had found relief and liberation, no longer being so stubborn and depressed, and Ye Changtiger didn't need to treat Ye Cai's heart disease anymore, leaving everything to time from then on.

  Since there is no need for help, it's natural not to pay again.

  Although Shen Yixuan's university tuition fees were not mentioned again by Ye Changtiger, Ye Changtiger was also a man of his word and took care of the nursing expenses for his foster mother through a corresponding charity fund, fulfilling his responsibilities as a public security officer.

  Although his family has money, it doesn't mean that Ye Changhu, the poor and hardworking captain of the criminal police brigade, has a lot of savings. It's actually his wife He Xiaoyun who earned the money.

  For the huge income gap between husband and wife, Ye Changhu has always been a soft spot and heart disease. He is a policeman who needs to use a strong hand and cold temperament to build professional dignity. Moreover, his wife He Xiaoyun's straightforward personality makes it difficult for him to face the awkward situation of staying at home.

  At this moment, he felt deeply ashamed, wasting the precious youth of others' time and energy, being too embarrassed to take out his withered wallet, unable to fulfill his promises. So he gave Shen Yixuan the power and opportunity to continue pursuing him with a broken jar and a broken heart.

  Of course, if we can catch up, it will more or less make up for that little guy's loss.

  Ye Changhu comforted himself like this, and his heart seemed to feel a little better.

  The next moment, he received a phone call and was frightened out of his wits.

  "Hey, Xiao Yang, how's it going? Any results?" he asked with a nervous and forced smile.

  "Hmm... Officer Ye, that pack of cigarettes seems to be gone."

  "Vanish!?"

  Ye Chang's eyes nearly popped out, his mouth agape, and his tongue stuttered: "H-h-how... how could it disappear? You're not kidding, are you?"

  "Hmm, a few minutes ago, I took out some tobacco and had it tested. The result was that after heating it up and putting it under the microscope, there was nothing... When I went back, the pack of cigarettes was gone too... The door was locked properly."

  Ye Changhu was so scared that he seemed to have forgotten to breathe, his heart was hard and stuffy, took a few deep breaths with difficulty, and barely calmed down: "Where are you now? The laboratory? Just wait there for me to come over."

  He hung up the phone, Ye Changhu extinguished the cigarette, put on the coat hanging on the back of the chair, and rushed to the forensic laboratory of the Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Department.

  He rushed to the door and deliberately turned the doorknob a few times. It was indeed locked from the inside, so maybe it was an indoor theft?

  He guessed as much.

  At this time, Investigator Yang, who was indoors, heard the noise and rushed to open the door, revealing an awkward and shy face.

  A big man like you is showing such a look, Ye Changhu dare not look straight at him.

  "Hmm, just as the other person's footsteps arrived at the place where 'Transforming Cigarette' was placed before, Detective Yang of the Criminal Investigation Department pointed to the empty table and said timidly: "A few minutes ago, it was still here, I checked, there is absolutely no one else in the laboratory, unless..."

  Ye Changhu took a deep breath, shocked and terrified, barely calming down, looking at him with disdain and slanted eyes: "Unless what? Unless there's a ghost? It's really ridiculous, don't forget, you're a police officer."

  "Hmm..." Lowering her eyes, Xiao Yang scratched her head, feeling very embarrassed.

  Ye Changhu spun around in a circle on the spot, thinking repeatedly, and pointed to the microscope instrument not far away: "Has the mirror been checked? Is there any residual substance?"

  Xiao Yang shook his head timidly, with a wronged and innocent look on his face.

  Ye Changhu looked at him with that pitiful appearance and felt untrustworthy, immediately throwing a disgusted glance, quickly walking to the microscope, taking out a pair of gloves from under the table, then carefully disassembling the microscope lens under Xiao Yang's pitiful gaze.

  Looking closely at the light, there was indeed no residue left. It felt unbelievable. Then I put the lens back on and stared with my left eye to check again, still no residue, the lens was smooth as new.

  It seems that the mysterious disappearance event mentioned by Xiao Yang has been initially confirmed here, and Ye Changhu let out a long sigh, seemingly with a few points of confusion and helplessness.

  At this time, Little Yang came up and asked timidly: "That... that one, should we apply for a search?"

  Ye Changhu suddenly turned around and directed his anger at Xiao Yang, looking impatient, saying: "Who to search? Search you?"

  Xiao Yang's face turned pale with fright, and he hastily waved his hand, saying: "It wasn't me, it wasn't me, I didn't do anything."

  Having sent the fire off, Ye Changhu let out a sigh and took off his gloves, saying: "You go close the door."

  "Ah?" Little Yang was terrified.

  "Shut the door! Look again!" Ye Chang Hu growled impatiently.

  "Oh..."

  Xiao Yang took one step at a time, turning his head back, seemingly very timid and guilty.

  ……

  ……

  Luoshui No. 2 Middle School, breakfast time.

  Let's not talk about Ye Cai and Liu Youyou's transformation into women at the dinner table with pure-blooded sister Xiao Xue, let's focus on the male protagonist Shen Yixuan. At this moment, he is sitting alone at a table, eating breakfast absent-mindedly while holding the brand new phone that Ye Changtiger bought for him, chatting with a mysterious man using the chat tool.

  "Marisa: Chirp chirp, I've got some good news to tell you, want to hear it?"

  "Dragon travels all over the world: says so."

  "Marisa: Hehe, my mom's situation has been settled."

  "Dragon Dominates the World: (sigh) I thought it was something else."

  "Marisa: (acting cute) What's wrong?" Shen Yixuan's face also showed a few hints of confusion and nervousness, her lips slightly pursed.

  "Dragon Dominates the World: Who is it? Who doesn't give me face? I've already said let me handle it."

  Shen Yixuan's mouth curved into a warm smile, and his agile thumb gently tapped the screen.

  "Marisa: No, it was a policeman who helped me..."

  "Dragon travels all over the world: Oh, police, are you happy then, baby?"

  Shen Yixuan smiled shyly - "Magical Lyrical: Ah, I feel much more at ease now."

  "Dragon travels all over the world: (hug)"

  The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve up into a happy smile — "Marisa: (mua mua)"
