“Officer, now that Zhou Hao has been cremated, we’re ready to take him back,” Zhao Laidi immediately spoke. “As for this matter, you don’t need to investigate further. I believe it was an accident. Please return my son to us.” Even though they had been anxious about Zhou Hao before, now that they had their own biological son back, the deceased who was neither their son nor alive seemed less significant. How could he compare to their freshly regained biological child?

They might be dealing with complex emotions, but the reality was different. The police had already investigated the matter to this extent, and it wasn’t possible for Zhao Laidi and her husband to suddenly change their minds and request the case to be closed. Besides, there was also Zheng Qin, who was staring in shock and trying her best to fight for something for her boyfriend. -What are you saying, Aunt and Uncle?” Zheng Qin spoke with determination. “Even if Chen Jianxun is your son, can you really just ignore what happened to Hao Ge? Moreover, the origin of this incident is not Chen Jianxun…”

If you give up now, won’t the real mastermind behind this escape?” She firmly rejected their proposal. “No, this matter cannot end like this. Officer, I implore you, please help me find the person who harmed Zhou Hao!”

At least there was one rational person among the group. Su Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement. However, as soon as these words were spoken, Zheng Qin was immediately scolded by Zhao Laidi.

“You little wretch, what do you understand?” Zhao Laidi exclaimed. “This matter, in the end, is a family affair! It has nothing to do with you. We’re ready to drop the charges, and you want to continue with this…”

“What grudge does my son have with you?” She continued. “No, we’re done searching for answers. We won’t look for the perpetrator anymore. Let’s just consider Zhou Hao’s death an unfortunate accident! Zheng Qin, don’t keep chirping here! Otherwise, I might just scatter Zhou Hao’s ashes!”

Zhao Laidi, realizing she couldn’t win this argument with Zheng Qin, resorted to threats.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Qin immediately fell silent and stared in disbelief at Zhao Laidi. She hadn’t expected someone’s attitude to change so quickly. After all, they had raised Zhou Hao for over twenty years!

“I’m sorry, but this matter cannot end just because you say so,” Su Xuan spoke calmly. “The DNA test results have already come in. Please go back for now. We will notify you of Chen Jianxun’s verdict once the case is completely resolved.” However, Zhou Hao’s parents, upon hearing this, reluctantly got up. After all, he was their biological son!

No, Officer!” Zhao Laidi protested. “I only have this one and only son… You can’t possibly leave me with no one to take care of me in my old age…” Seeing Zhao Laidi about to cause a scene again, Su Xuan stopped all her shouting with a few words. “In this case, Chen Jianxun’s charges are not very severe,” he explained. “But he did participate in a crime… It’s impossible for you to take him away now. Please go home and wait.”

After delivering this message, Su Xuan didn’t pay further attention to their protests and proceeded to escort them out. Although he had anticipated their likely attitude from the beginning, seeing Zhou Hao’s parents standing firmly on the side of their biological son without any hesitation left Su Xuan feeling a bit disheartened.

According to the investigation records, Zhou Hao had sent most of his salary back to his parents, apart from covering his own living expenses and rent. He had certainly repaid their kindness. In the end, Su Xuan persuaded Zheng Qin not to say anything more, and the matter came to a temporary close.

Just when Su Xuan and the others were working hard to bring the case to a close, Wei Guochao’s lawyer hurriedly arrived with some documents in hand Hearing the lawyer’s arrival, Wei Guochao, who had been silent with his mouth shut the whole time, finally smirked. In his mind, as long as his lawyer was here, he could be pulled out of this situation easily.

With this confidence, he cast mocking glances at Su Xuan and his team, standing there arrogantly, waiting for them to release him. However, he was soon brought back to reality as Su Xuan and his team presented a series of evidence that firmly nailed him to the crime, despite having the most skillful defense attorney.

In the face of irrefutable evidence, the police handed the case over to the court, and in the end, Wei Guochao was sentenced. As for the hired killer, he didn’t escape justice either.

It was Chen Jianxun who received a lighter sentence, thanks to the strong wishes of Zhou Hao’s adoptive parents and a letter of forgiveness they wrote. Even though Zhou Hao wasn’t their biological son, he was still their adopted child.

After the case was resolved, Zhou Hao’s adoptive parents wasted no time and returned to their hometown with their son and Zhou Hao’s ashes. Later, it was heard that Zheng Qin had taken a leave of absence to bring back Zhou Hao’s ashes to Hong Kong and bought a burial plot to lay him to rest.

“Life is unpredictable, my friend,” commented Zhou Qiang, who had finally managed to get some time off and was enjoying a meal with Su Xuan. He shook his head while Su Xuan absentmindedly picked up another plate of food, listening to Zhou Qiang’s gossip. With each piece of gossip, a piece of meat disappeared from the hotpot.

“That’s great, you still get a day off tomorrow.”

“I can’t, I have to go back to work.”

“I mean, after handling such a big case, why won’t they let me have an extra day off?”

“No way, after this meal, I need to get a massage. These late nights have taken a toll on me.”

“Suxuan, are you going?”

Zhou Qiang didn’t even realize he was eating so fast; his chopsticks didn’t stop moving. Then he looked up at Su Xuan.

Su Xuan shook his head.

He had planned to visit the original owner’s hometown to see his parents. It had been over a month since he crossed over, and he had received quite a few Phone calls from his parents. They had heard that he was still working on a case, so they hadn’t asked him to come back yet. But the message was clear: the vegetables were ripe, and the potatoes were ready to be harvested. They wanted him to come home for a meal. After all, it had been more than a month, and Su Xuan had already integrated into the original owner’s life. It was time ’ to go back and see his parents.

“I’m not going.”

“I’ll head to the countryside later and spend the night before deciding.”

After saying this, Zhou Qiang nodded.

“That makes sense. You haven’t been home for almost two months.”

“You should definitely pay a visit.”

“I bet old man, your old lady miss you, huh?”

“Speaking of which, isn’t this trip home a perfect opportunity to talk about your girlfriend with your old man and old lady?”

“Get out of here!”

Su Xuan laughed and scolded, “Eat your food! You can’t stop stuffing yourself with meat!”
