In the following days, the people related to the case were either calm and uneasy, busy, or irritable.

Xiaojiu's birthday is coming soon. She hasn't received a call back from Ye He in the past few days. When she called Ye He, his phone was still turned off. All she could do was wait.

Liang Yuanqi was extremely busy and had to run to the government every day. Just as he had thought before, the government wanted the Wei family to withdraw because of what happened. Various contracts and agreements had to be signed again, so he was very busy.

The Wei family, having suffered the pain of losing their son, dealt them another severe blow, because all of Wei Bin's criminal information in Xiaojiu's hands had been made public.

Wei Bin’s previous actions can be said to be full of evil, which makes people hate him so much.

The public has a large base, so they are naturally furious about Wei Bin's persecution of an innocent little girl. Therefore, the online comments are surprisingly unanimous, that is, Wei Bin deserved to die, and the murderer was getting rid of a harm to the people.

This undoubtedly made the Wei family even more devastated, and they went to the police station to make trouble every day for the past two days.

"That Liang Yuanqi and his woman Ye Qiao are the murderers of my son. Why did you let her go? Why did you let her go?"

At first, the police officers patiently explained to them because they were victims’ families and were grieving.

"We have thoroughly investigated Ye Qiao. She did not have the time to commit the crime, so she has been ruled out as a suspect. As for the real culprit, we are doing our best to crack the case."

The first time they made a fuss, the police explained. The second time, the police still explained patiently. But after the Wei family members became unreasonable again and again, the police lost their patience.

"We have made it very clear that the two people you mentioned are not the murderers. The autopsy of the victim has been completed. If you insist on taking the victim's body back, you can go and complete the formalities now.

We have said everything we need to say. We will contact the family as soon as there is any progress in the case. But if you come to the police station to make trouble again, it will be obstruction of public service and we have the right to detain you."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wei went crazy, but fortunately Wei Xinmin was still a little sober and kept stopping her.

But when they went to pick up Wei Bin's body, Mrs. Wei completely collapsed, cried inconsolably and then fainted.

Wei Bin's grandfather lost his grandson, and now his daughter is in this state. She was so angry that she had a heart attack and was hospitalized. Now the Wei family is in chaos.

The good thing about their chaos is that they no longer have the energy to bother Xiaojiu, so Xiaojiu's life has been eerily peaceful these past few days.

There was no call from Ye He, no inquiries from the police, and Liang Yuanqi never came again.

In a blink of an eye, it was Xiaojiu's birthday. When the ring of an incoming phone broke the silence in the room, Xiaojiu was ecstatic and quickly grabbed the phone. He thought it must be Ye He calling, but he didn't expect it was Officer Li.

"Hey, Officer Li."

"Miss Ye, are you able to talk now?"

"It's very convenient. I'm the only one at home. Please tell me if there's anything you need."

"I have already quietly reported the situation you told me to our leaders, but since it involves such a large transnational drug trafficking group, we must be more cautious in the procedures.

After our superiors approve it, we still have to contact the police in Country C and come up with an implementation plan. The procedure is a little complicated, but don't worry, since you asked me for help, we will not ignore it.

And I am the only one who knows your identity. I will keep it absolutely confidential to my colleagues in the provincial department, so that I can better guarantee your safety."

"Okay, I know it's a big case like this, and it's going to be very troublesome to handle. I've been working on this for so many years, so I'm not in a hurry for a day or two. I hope you can help me."

"I will definitely help, but..."

"Officer Li, please let me know if you have any difficulties."

Xiaojiu knew that she was a C country citizen after all. When she came here, she suddenly asked a policeman from A country for help, which was such a big deal.

You have to know that those who do this kind of business are all desperate criminals, and if they take action, there might really be casualties among the police. She was already very grateful that Officer Li was willing to help her.

"It's not a difficult problem. Policemen are responsible for their jobs. What I want to say is that you are safe as long as you escape for the time being.

You grew up in here, so you can provide us police with a lot of useful information. We can protect you, and we police can handle the rest."

Protect her?

If she is really protected by the police and completely isolated from the people in there, the devil won't be able to contact her, and he will know that she has cooperated with the police.

Then he would run away completely, taking Ye He away from Country A forever. Maybe he would be at large for the rest of his life, and Ye He would live with him like this for the rest of her life, and she would never see her brother again.

This was not her original intention for cooperating with the police.

"No." Xiao Jiu refused decisively, "I wanted to escape before, but I don't want to escape now. I just want that devil to be brought to justice as soon as possible.

I can only go back to him as if nothing happened, so that I can locate him and let you catch him. If he becomes alert and runs away again, you won’t be able to catch him.”

"But according to what you told me before, he has never been kind to you. You have been alone in South City for so long. With his vigilance, he must have discovered your infidelity a long time ago. If you go back to him, I'm afraid your life will be in danger."

"I'm not afraid. As long as he can be caught, my death is worth it. I only ask that you can protect my brother. He is innocent. He and I have been persecuted by that devil since childhood.

Everything he did was forced, and he had to do it to protect me. I can't say he is a good person, but he is definitely not a bad person.

When you are able to act, I will find a way to get my brother away. No matter what the outcome is, I just hope you can keep him alive. Please."

Xiaojiu's words made Li Youcai silent for a long time. He hadn't experienced such a thing or seen such a person for many years.

"Okay, then you stay safe and wait for my news. If you are willing to cooperate with us, we will do our best to protect you."

"Thank you."

After receiving the call from Officer Li, Xiaojiu felt a little more relaxed. As long as Ye He's life could be saved, she would not be afraid of anything.

Before they knew it, it was night and Ye He still hadn't come. Xiao Jiu cooked a large table of dishes as instructed in the message, and then changed into the clothes that Ye He had given her.

Then she sat at the dining table, counting the time and waiting, one hour, two hours, three hours...

Why didn't he come to her birthday? He had been with her every birthday before.

Just when she had given up hope and felt hopeless, there was a knock on the door. She immediately came back to life and hurried to open the door.

But what no one expected was that the person standing outside was Liang Yuanqi. He was holding a big cake in his left hand and a big gift box in his right hand.

"Liang Yuanqi?" They hadn't been in touch for a few days, so she was surprised that Liang Yuanqi came over. "Why are you here?"

"Come and celebrate your birthday with you." Liang Yuanqi looked at Xiaojiu and said sincerely, "Happy birthday, Xiaojiu!"
