Chapter 74: Chapter 74: The Child Who Especially Loves Cleanliness

    Jinshan Village Police Station.

    Ma Qiang waited anxiously, his eyes fixed desperately on the automatic exchange telephone on the desk.

    This was the only telephone in Jinshan Village, specially approved initially to facilitate communication with the city bureau.

    Seeing him like this, Fang Ming couldn’t help but say, “Brother Qiang, you have no relation to the Yue Family, and the day before yesterday you even made a special trip to the city for this. Now, you’re just waiting for a message that might not come. Why bother?”

    Ma Qiang glanced at him sidelong, “Do you think I’m doing this for the Yue Family?”

    “Isn’t it?” Fang Ming asked, puzzled.

    ...

    Ma Qiang snorted through his nose, Forget it, don’t bother arguing with a fool.

    He just hoped the leaders in the city could bring news soon.

    This case was really typical. If it could end well, it would be good news for the girls in the surrounding villages, even those in the city.

    Perhaps it was his deep obsession, but just then the phone suddenly vibrated, and the piercing ringtone sounded.@@@@

    But to Ma Qiang, this noise was like music from heaven; he pounced on it like a hungry tiger leaping at food.

    “Is this Ma Qiang? Yes, the leaders are very concerned about this case. Last night, they arranged for a doctor from the city hospital to come over. They probably set off this morning.”

    There was just one thing: Cao Qi was different from them, often appearing somewhat haughty and rarely showing a smile.

    Let alone smiling like today, showing all his teeth.

    “I was ordered to come with Dr. Yan. He is a treasure of the nation; I couldn’t feel at ease not accompanying him.”

    Cao Qi eagerly stretched out his hand to welcome them, and only then did the two notice that there were also two other people sitting in the donkey cart.

    Or rather, a man and a teenager.

    The man wore gold-rimmed glasses and had a warm smile, clearly an easy-going person.

    “It really is Dr. Yan.” Fang Ming gaped. Yan Qiying’s face had appeared more than once in the newspapers; even a resident of Jinshan Village like him could recognize him at a glance.

    Yan Qiying, completely down-to-earth, smiled at the two men and reached to help the child sitting in the back seat down.

    The boy looked somewhat like Yan Qiying but his expression was sternly mature.

    He shook his head, refusing the offered hand, and with a frown, pulled a pair of semi-transparent gloves from his pocket.

    After blowing them up, he slipped them on and then climbed down the side of the donkey cart by himself.

    Yan Qiying coughed lightly and introduced him to Ma Qiang and his friend, “This is my son, Yan Sinian. The boy is a bit of a clean freak.”

    Ma Qiang’s lips twitched, a clean freak? That was the first time he had seen a child so obsessed with cleanliness.

    Despite having traveled on a donkey cart, his clothes were without a single wrinkle, all smoothed down after he got off.

    These days, why did he always run into such unusual children?
