Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 332 No one is allowed to bully Yan Yatou

Is Uncle Tao the top official?

The air inside the police station seemed to freeze. Everyone was so shocked by this sudden turn of events that they were speechless.

Yan Lan stared blankly at Uncle Tao.

No, he should be called the First Commander now.

She never imagined that this elderly man, who always patronized the small clinic quietly, would have such an unusual identity.

Si Chu's expression was also one of surprise. His gaze shifted back and forth between the First Commander and Yan Lan, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He couldn't understand how Yan Lan knew the First Commander, and how their relationship seemed to be extraordinary.

"Is this really the First Commander himself?"

Deputy Director Song's legs went weak, and his voice trembled uncontrollably.

He wanted to slap himself a few times; he had actually thought of handcuffing the chief officer.

The police officers present looked at each other in bewilderment.

This newly appointed top official keeps a low profile and rarely appears in the media. Who would have thought he would appear here wearing ordinary work clothes?

"Is this how your police station investigates cases?"

The first officer spoke coldly, his brows furrowed with anger, "You called me an old rogue and even tried to lay a hand on Yan girl?"

His sharp gaze swept over Deputy Director Song's pale face. "If I hadn't happened to be here today, would you have tortured a pregnant woman to extract a confession?"

Deputy Director Song was trembling all over and couldn't utter a single word.

"Sister Yanxue, what are you talking about?"

Before Liu Shiyu could react, she grabbed Yan Xue's sleeve and persisted, "He's the one who hit Song Chi just now! You need to get the secretary-general..."

"Shut up!"

Yan Xue reprimanded sharply, her exquisite makeup unable to conceal the panic on her face.

She walked quickly to the first officer and forced a smile: "Sir, it's all a misunderstanding. A few children were just being silly and offended you."

Si Chu finally came to his senses and quickly stepped forward to introduce her: "First Officer, this is Yan Xue, whom I mentioned to you before, Yan Feng's daughter."

Yan Feng's daughter?

Isn’t that what it is?

Uncle Tao's expression clearly froze for a moment. He carefully examined Yan Xue, a rare complex look appearing on his usually serious face.

"You're so old now?" he murmured softly, as if talking to himself. After a long while, he sighed, "Fine, for your sake, I won't pursue the matter of that girl's responsibility. But..."

His gaze, sharp as a knife, turned to Song's parents and Song Chi, who were immediately terrified and turned ashen-faced.

"Song Chi deliberately damaged other people's property and framed them. He must be severely punished." The First Officer's voice left no room for doubt. "I will have the relevant departments thoroughly investigate this matter."

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Song nearly collapsed to the ground. They never imagined that their son's impulsive act would cause such a huge problem.

Now it's not just that the son is doomed; the entire Song family is likely to be completely ruined.

Yan Xue stood aside, her heart churning with turmoil.

Unexpectedly, Yan Lan was fine, but the Song family suffered a great misfortune!

How come Yan Lan is so lucky!

She recalled taking Liu Jinnian to the Capital Stadium, hoping to get to know the First Commander, but they came up empty-handed. Meanwhile, Yan Lan, the woman she had always looked down upon, had actually known the First Commander for a long time and even received his protection.

"Yan girl, are you alright?" The first officer's tone softened considerably when he turned to Yan Lan.

He looked at Yan Lan's protruding belly with concern, "Should we go to the hospital for a check-up?"

Yan Lan shook her head and forced a smile: "I'm fine, thank you."

Her gaze inadvertently swept over Yan Xue, and she found that the other was staring at her with eyes full of jealousy and resentment.

The malice in those eyes sent chills down Yan Lan's spine.

Just then, a commotion broke out outside the police station.

Several uniformed police officers strode in, led by the head of the Public Security Department.

"Sir!" Minister Zhang bowed respectfully. "We have already launched an investigation into the relevant personnel involved in the case, as instructed by you."

Uncle Tao did not speak.

Minister Zhang turned to Deputy Director Song, his face darkening: "Deputy Director Song, please suspend you from your duties immediately and accept the investigation."

Deputy Director Song's face turned ashen, and his legs buckled, causing him to kneel on the ground.

The first officer nodded, then looked at Yan Lan: "Yan girl, I'll have someone send you back to rest. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

His tone carried an undeniable authority, yet also a fatherly concern. Yan Lan nodded gratefully and, supported by Situ Qing, slowly walked out.

As Yan Lan passed by Yan Xue, she noticed that the other woman's fingers were tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, and her knuckles were white.

But she didn't stop; she simply walked past calmly.

Outside the police station, the afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the street. Yan Lan took a deep breath, feeling the tightness and pain in her chest ease slightly.

Outside the police station, dusk was falling. Yan Lan stood on the steps, a cool evening breeze brushing against her pale cheeks. She pulled her coat tighter, her fingers unconsciously tracing her swollen belly.

“Attorney Situ,” she said softly, her voice trembling slightly, “is there any new progress in the investigation into Qin Shi’s plane crash…?”

Situ Qing remained silent for a moment, then took a document from his briefcase. Under the dim streetlights, he saw Yan Lan's slender fingers tremble slightly as she took the document.

“I used all my connections,” he said, carefully choosing his words, “and could only confirm one thing: Qin Shi was indeed on the helicopter that crashed that day.”

These words were like a dull knife, piercing Yan Lan's heart. She bit her lower lip until she tasted blood before letting go.

"A high-altitude crash..." Situ Qing turned her face away, unable to bear it any longer. "The possibility of survival..."

"I know," Yan Lan interrupted him, her voice as soft as a sigh.

After a long silence, Yan Lan suddenly spoke up: "Attorney Situ, could you please do me another favor?" She took out a sealed bag from her bag, "Could you find a way to get... a sample from the body? I want to send it to the X Research Institute for DNA comparison."

Situ Qing's pupils contracted slightly. The X Research Institute was a top international gene testing institution, but could it really bring about any turning point?

“Ms. Yan,” he hesitated, “the police are already doing DNA comparison.”

“I know.” Yan Lan gripped the sealed bag tightly, her knuckles turning white. “But the body was burned beyond recognition, what if…”

What if it wasn't Qin Shi? This thought grew wildly in her mind like weeds. Even if there was only a one in ten million chance, she would seize it.

Looking at her stubborn profile, Situ Qing finally nodded: "I'll do my best."

A black sedan slowly drove up and stopped in front of Yan Lan.

Attorney Situ turned around and went back into the police station. A moment later, he came out with a sample and handed it to Yan Lan.

"Thank you for your help, Attorney Situ," Yan Lan said softly.

As night deepened, the city's neon lights began to flicker. Yan Lan leaned against the car window, and in a daze, she saw Qin Shi's gentle smiling face again.
