Chapter 0004: The Frustrated Rookie Police Officer

Sister Xia, I also went to the Shaping Street Police Station last year, but I didn't see you there at that time

... ...

Xia Yu was momentarily at a loss for words. She shot Yang Yan an angry glare and said, "Do not call me Sister Xia! You have not completely cleared yourself of suspicion, so what do you mean by trying to get close?"

This is merely a procedural formality, yet the rookie police officer Xia Yu is very earnest, meticulously questioning Yang Yan and following the process through to completion

"Forget it, forget it, as long as we find Yan Zi!" Lei Zhentian laughed heartily as he patted Yang Yan's shoulder and said, "Where did you go last night? Why are you dressed like this?"

Fortunately, timely medical assistance was provided. After treatment by the doctors, around noon, the condition of the baby girl gradually improved, her body temperature decreased, and she was able to drink breast milk given to her by a kind-hearted nurse who was in her nursing period

The topic seems to have reached a dead end, and both Yang Yan and Xia Yu silently picked at their lunch boxes

Then it can only be this way, I hope to find her parents! Yang Yan sighed softly

Although Yang Yan was praising her, Xia Yu did not feel happy after hearing it. Instead, she stared at Yang Yan with a look of suspicion, trying to discern some clues from his expression. She tentatively asked, "Have you seen many police officers?"

Yang Yan had no choice but to rack his brains for a topic. He hesitantly said, "I was thinking about that little girl. Suppose, and I mean suppose, if you cannot find her parents, what should be done then"

"No, nothing at all." Yang Yan was worried that he would annoy the police officer again, so he quickly shook his head

Then the police said if we had made a mistake somewhere, perhaps you went somewhere without telling us, and they also suggested that we try looking again. Jiang Yuan followed the crowd and gathered around Yang Yan, complaining as he spoke

Speaking of which, when buying infant formula, Yang Yan also learned for the first time that there are actually different stages: Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, and even Stage 4. It is astonishing that there are so many considerations for children's products. Standing in front of the shelves related to infants and toddlers, Yang Yan was also in awe.

Yang Yan, who was still unaware that he had angered the beautiful police officer, was somewhat bewildered by Xia Yu's sudden change in attitude, sitting there in astonishment.

Originally, Xia Yu planned to return to the police station for lunch, but Yang Yan had already bought her portion. Xia Yu did not stand on ceremony with Yang Yan, and the two of them went to the hospital cafeteria, where they opened their lunch boxes and began to eat ravenously.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Xia Yu could no longer hold back. She picked up the small plastic bowl, took a sip of the soup, and then said: "If there really is no other way, she might have to go to the children's welfare institution..."

Without waiting for Yang Yan to respond, Xia Yu raised her voice and said earnestly: "But I will find her parents, I will definitely!"

"Yanzi?" A shout filled with surprise and joy echoed in the service hall of the police station

In the afternoon, it was confirmed that the baby girl had recovered from her fever, and after leaving her mobile phone number with the doctor and receiving numerous reminders, Yang Yan, dressed in a hospital gown and carrying a bag of her dirty clothes, accompanied Xia Yu to the Shaping Street Police Station to make a statement

"What are you looking at?" Xia Yu noticed and asked without raising her head, her cheeks puffed out.

After all, breast milk contains certain antibodies that infants need, making it more suitable than regular cow's milk for newborns who are currently in a weakened state due to illness

Yang Yan quickly explained: "It is like this, I am currently interning at a startup company founded by a senior sister. Her company focuses on the research and development of database software and services, primarily dealing with big data visualization and analysis..."

However, compared to the small amount of milk powder money from Yang Yanhua, Xia Yu contributed much more. She did not care at all and calmly took out a bank card, paying for all the expenses related to the treatment and hospitalization of the infant.

At this point, Yang Yan paused, feeling that his explanation had become somewhat complicated. He decided to skip over the technical aspects and said: "Last year, we worked on a database project for the Yangcheng Public Security Bureau. I accompanied my senior sister on several visits to the Public Security Bureau and the local police stations, so I have a certain level of understanding."

Yang Yan turned his head and saw Jiang Yuan looking at him with a face full of surprise. Beside him, Lei Zhentian and Fang Hexu, who were talking to the police officer, also stood up one after another. Lei Zhentian, in particular, was overjoyed and pointed at Yang Yan, unable to utter a word

Fang Hexu wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained with a smile, "Damn it, Yanzi, we finally found you! You have no idea, we all thought something had happened to you and were just about to call the police to look for you!"

After taking a shower, he finally had the opportunity to enter the hospital room to visit the baby girl he had brought in. Looking at the little one lying in the small hospital bed, Yang Yan recalled the diagnosis of malnutrition that the doctor had mentioned earlier. Therefore, seizing the chance while going out to buy lunch, he also stopped by the hospital shop to buy her a can of milk powder

Yang Yan was very cooperative; he just felt a bit embarrassed. After all, wearing a patient outfit was too conspicuous at the police station. Wherever he went, it would inevitably make him the center of attention!

There he was, coming out of the office with Xia Yu, returning to the front service hall, where the crowd gathered to handle household registration matters or report cases turned their heads in surprise to look over.

... ...

In the morning, Yang Yan had already taken a shower in the hospital's inpatient department washroom and changed into a blue and white striped patient gown. Although it looked quite strange, it was at least much better than his previous dirty and smelly appearance

Because your clothes are still very new, and Sister Xia, you look very neat when you wear them. I don't know if they have been ironed, but I have seen police officers from the police station who do not look as clean and tidy as you do, just like those police officers in the Ministry of Public Security's public service advertisements, full of spirit

This group of brothers is not very reliable, but Yang Yan still felt their concern for him. He smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, there is no injury. However, speaking of what happened last night, it is quite a long story!"

Can this be considered as turning against someone without mercy

Being called a rookie cop, Xia Yu's eyes widened like a cat whose fur had been ruffled, glaring angrily at Yang Yan, as if she would not let it go easily unless he provided a satisfactory explanation today

"Speak your mind! You are a man, so stop being so wishy-washy!" Xia Yu said somewhat in a grumpy manner

Yang Yan is very confident in his memory, and Xia Yu has a pair of unforgettable eyes. If she had already been at the Shaping Street Police Station last year, how could Yang Yan have no impression of her

Yang Yan was truly starving; he had not eaten breakfast, and his stomach was growling loudly. While it was somewhat understandable for him to eat ravenously, it was surprising to see such a beautiful girl like Xia Yu eating in such an unrefined manner. This made Yang Yan take a few more glances at her.

Yang Yan actually did not finish what he wanted to say, those female police officers on the television are not as good-looking as Xia Yu!

Faced with this very real issue, Xia Yu fell silent. After a long while, she shook her head and said, "I don't know"

Xia Yu retracted her scrutinizing gaze, yet still felt somewhat unconvinced. She bit her lip and retorted, "That may not necessarily be the case; perhaps my police uniform was just recently changed, and the previous one was worn out!"

In reality, Yang Yan and Xia Yu both know that finding the parents of an abandoned baby is akin to searching for a needle in a haystack. Even with surveillance footage, it would still be very difficult; technologies such as facial recognition and precise location tracking likely only exist in movies—otherwise, there wouldn't be so many criminals at large, would there

However, the doctor said that further hospitalization for examination is necessary, so for the next few days, she will remain in the hospital, which should also be the best choice. Xia Yu stood in front of the payment window in the lobby and said to Yang Yan, who was carrying a can of milk powder and a bag of boxed lunch, but dressed like a patient.

"Indeed! Could it be that you are injured somewhere?" Jiang Yuan asked nervously

Yang Yan quickly nodded and smiled, saying, "Yes, it is definitely possible. I believe that no matter how difficult life may be, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome"
