"You can do that?" Fang Miaomiao's eyes widened in astonishment. "Just like that, they flip sides?"
Wen Zhiyan shrugged. "Who knows? Anyway, Officer Xu found a lot of evidence based on the information provided by Qiu Xi, enough to convict Ran Qiu, and even his deceased older brother and father."
Fang Miaomiao's lips twitched. "A family of criminals, what is this nonsense?"
"This incident will cause a sensation later. You might even get praised online."
Fang Miaomiao whined, "Can I not go?"
She had simply done what a person should do; there was no need for such a grand fanfare. Besides, the police had done the most work; they should be the ones praised.
Wen Zhiyan ruffled Fang Miaomiao's head. "I don't know about that. But if you really dislike it, I'll go talk to Captain Xu again."
Fang Miaomiao nodded heavily. "Right, what about Fang Yan Huan now?"
"Fang Yan Huan has been rescued and is in the hospital now," Wen Zhiyan said after a moment of silence. "Fang Yan Huan didn't do anything bad, so she can't be convicted. Xie Wanqing's crimes haven't been investigated, and she has disappeared."
"It's fine, as long as our family can be safe and happy together," Fang Miaomiao shook her head, not wanting to deal with these matters anymore.
Wen Zhiyan remained silent.
"Let's go see your older brother and sister-in-law," Fang Miaomiao took Wen Zhiyan's hand and smiled gently. "Let's take An An with us."
"Okay," Wen Zhiyan nodded. "We'll go see them tomorrow."
...
The cemetery.
The three of them, dressed in black, held chrysanthemums and walked to a tombstone.
Wen Zhiyan looked at the name on the tombstone for a long time before speaking to Wen Yan An, "An An, these are your parents who gave birth to you and loved you. They are our pride and glory."
Wen Yan An nodded and knelt before the tombstone. "Dad, Mom, An An is here to see you. An An's current parents treat me very well. Don't worry. Dad said you live in another world. Dad, Mom, in that other world, you must live well."
"Especially Dad, you are the one An An admires the most in his heart. I will use you as my role model. But in that world, be careful when you're working, pay attention to safety. Mom, please keep an eye on Dad."
"And, An An is doing great now, and has made a lot of friends. I don't know if you can see it, but I'm sure you can, right?"
As Wen Yan An spoke, he could no longer hold back his sobs. "Dad, Mom, An An loves you very, very much. An An will never forget you."
"Brother, I'm sorry. It took me so long to catch those people," Wen Zhiyan said, his eyes red. "And, I want to say, I really love the gift you gave me."
"We will live well. Miao Miao and I will raise An An healthily. I won't make him learn things he doesn't like. A child having a happy childhood is the most important thing, right?"
"Also, I found the woman I love most in this life. Her name is Fang Miaomiao. She is very kind. Sometimes she's a bit silly, but she's very cute. She treats me and An An very well. An An and I both love her very much."
"Miao Miao," Wen Zhiyan said, feeling the strength in his hand, tears welling up in his eyes.
Fang Miaomiao wanted to laugh but held it back. "Why are you crying?"
Wen Zhiyan turned his head away, silent.
"Hello, Brother, Sister-in-law," Fang Miaomiao said, looking at the two photos on the tombstone. The man looked heroic, the woman gentle; a perfect match.
After bowing slightly, she said, "I'm very sorry that Wen Zhiyan and I are only visiting you now. Wen Zhiyan misses you quite a lot. One night, when I got up to use the restroom, I heard him call out to you in his sleep."
"An An is also very obedient and smart. I especially like An An. An An is a good child. As a little adult, he has taught me a lot of wisdom."
The three of them stayed at the cemetery for a while before preparing to leave.
Exiting the cemetery.
Wen Zhiyan's steps faltered. He looked at Ran Lian, who had just gotten out of a car, and after a moment of silence, said, "Miaomiao, let's go."
"Zhiyan," Ran Lian couldn't help but call out as he walked away without looking back.
"Fourth brother," Wen Zhi Jia also called out. His gaze was fixed on Wen Zhiyan's legs.
Good heavens, Wen Lan hadn't lied to him after all. Wen Zhiyan's legs had really recovered.
Wen Yan An tugged on Wen Zhiyan's hand.
"Does An An want to talk to Grandma?"
Wen Yan An nodded.
"Then we'll wait here for An An. When An An is done talking to Grandma, we'll leave, okay?" Fang Miaomiao continued.
Wen Yan An nodded.
"Good boy, go ahead."
Wen Yan An ran to Ran Lian.
Ran Lian looked at her good grandson and touched An An's cheek with her withered hand. "Good boy, my good grandson, you've lost weight."
Wen Yan An shook his head seriously. "No, Grandma. An An has gained quite a bit of weight."
"Grandma knows you and Fang." Ran Lian paused for a moment and said, "I know you and your mother are very capable, not only saving many children but also catching the bad guys. An An is truly amazing."
Wen Yan An continued to shake his head. "This was done by everyone together, not just me and Mom."
"Yes, yes, Grandma was wrong. You are all excellent."
"Grandma, are you here to see Dad and Mom?"
Hearing this, Ran Lian was first stunned and then asked nervously, "An An, who told you that?"
The whole family had kept this a secret. How did An An know?
Wen Yan An glanced at Wen Zhi Jia.
Wen Zhi Jia was confused. "An An, why are you looking at me?"
"Can An An say it?"
"Of course, you can. Don't forget I always give you gifts whenever I see you. I dote on you."
"Third Aunt said so."
"Hong Lu?" Wen Zhi Jia blinked. "When did she tell you? I didn't know."
"A long time ago, when Third Aunt and Wen Lan Gege were arguing."
Wen Zhi Jia: "..."
Good heavens, why did he not know anything?
"I'm sorry, An An. I thought you were living happily in Imperial Garden," Ran Lian said apologetically.
"It's okay, Grandma. I liked Grandma very much before too," Wen Yan An said crisply.
Especially the Grandma who spoke gently. He liked her very much; he felt very happy then.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Grandma didn't mean to," Ran Lian said, her gaze drifting to the two figures not far away.
Fang Miaomiao sighed and shook her head, then looked up at Wen Zhiyan.
Wen Zhiyan patted Fang Miaomiao's head. "Go get An An. I'll wait for you in the car."
"Okay, you go to the car."
Ran Lian looked at Fang Miaomiao, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"Mother, the weather is bad today. You should go home early after visiting Brother and Sister-in-law."
