“I’m not a picky eater, Grandma, I love everything you make!” Dai Xingyun quickly replied, while reaching out to support her grandmother and carefully seeing her out the door.

"Alright, Grandma will just buy whatever she wants." Grandma Dai smiled and patted Dai Xingyun's hand, then walked out with light steps. Her agile gait was nothing like that of an elderly person.

Watching his grandmother's departing figure, Dai Xingyun still felt uneasy. After thinking for a moment, he decided to call the Qindu Police Station to find his good friend Chen Feng and confirm the situation.

"Hello! Kyoto Police Station." The voice on the other end of the phone came quickly, and Dai Xingyun recognized it as the familiar voice of Chen Feng.

“Fengzi, it’s me, Xingyun! I have a favor to ask you!” Dai Xingyun said directly without any hesitation.

Chen Feng was clearly surprised, paused for a moment, and then asked, "What is it? Tell me!"

Dai Xingyun took a deep breath and continued, "My fiancée took the xxx train in Tan City yesterday. I want to know if anything happened on the train?"

Chen Feng pondered for a moment, quickly recalling his recent work, and confirmed that he had not received any case information related to this train.

"I haven't received any news about the train accident, but I can make a call for you and get back to you in half an hour. Is that alright?"

"Okay, brother, thank you so much! Once we're done with this, let's find some time to get together at Manfulou and have a good chat!" Dai Xingyun said gratefully.

"Haha, no need to thank me, there's no need to be so polite between brothers."

"We really haven't gotten together in a long time, we definitely have to have a good get-together then!" Chen Feng replied with a smile, then hung up the phone.

Dai Xingyun put down the phone and sat quietly to the side, waiting anxiously for Chen Feng's call back.

Soon, Chen Feng called, "Brother, I just checked the train carefully, and there are no reports of any abnormalities. Are you sure your fiancée encountered any unexpected problems on this train?"

Dai Xingyun frowned, remained silent for a moment, and then answered decisively, "Yes, I'm very sure! The reason we haven't found any relevant information is probably because it hasn't been exposed yet. After all, some things happen silently."

He paused briefly before continuing, "Here's what we'll do: can you check with the police stations in the cities from the ring road to Huacheng to see if they've received any reports of crimes from last night to today? See if anything unusual has happened."

Chen Feng hesitated for a moment, but readily agreed: "Okay, I will do my best to investigate! However, don't have too high expectations, after all, these kinds of things are not easy to investigate."

Dai Xingyun nodded in understanding: "Yes, I know. It's okay if we don't find it. Just consider it another attempt."

After saying that, he hung up the phone, and his mood gradually calmed down!

Since Xiaoxiao called to let us know she's safe, it means she's probably safe and hasn't encountered any major trouble or accidents.

Dai Xingyun thought to himself that he would wait patiently for two more days and see if she had arrived in Kyoto by then. He would then buy a ticket and go pick her up in person.

With his mind made up, Dai Xingyun felt much more relaxed. However, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the phone suddenly rang.

Without the slightest hesitation, Dai Xingyun quickly picked up the phone and answered, "Okay, I understand. I'll definitely treat you to a meal next time!"

He gave a brief reply, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then hung up the phone.

Shen Xiaoxiao sat quietly on the bench in the police station, her fingers unconsciously stroking the rough edge of the wooden chair, feeling every texture of it.

At the end of the corridor, the peeling green paint on the door finally opened slowly, making a soft creaking sound.

Shen Xiaochuan's tall figure appeared at the door. Shen Xiaoxiao stood up and walked over quickly.

Behind Shen Xiaochuan was the director, who unexpectedly took his statement personally.

"Comrade, thank you so much!" The director walked quickly to Shen Xiaochuan, grasped his hand tightly, and said earnestly, "If it weren't for you two siblings, these human traffickers would have harmed countless families!"

Shen Xiaochuan's face remained expressionless. He simply nodded slightly and replied calmly, "This is what we should do."

“We just happened to run into them, and they even bullied my brother and me, so we were just trying to protect ourselves.”

The director seemed to suddenly remember something important. He hurriedly took out a notebook from his pocket and turned to a page.

"Oh, by the way, I heard you got off the train halfway through the journey? Your destination is Kyoto. It's so cold, how are you going to get back? How about this, I'll have Xiao Wang drive you to the station and buy your tickets for you while he's at it."

Upon hearing the director's words, Shen Xiaoxiao's face showed a hint of embarrassment and awkwardness. She quickly waved her hand and said, "No need, Director, we can manage on our own..."

"That won't do!" the station chief interrupted her without further ado, turning to shout into the inner room, "Xiao Wang! Go to the garage and drive the car out!"

He then lowered his voice and said to the brother and sister, "You two have done a great service; the city leaders specifically instructed us to take good care of you."

Shen Xiaoxiao and her brother exchanged a glance and both showed helpless expressions, but still nodded politely to thank her.

The police car drove smoothly through the town's streets.

Shen Xiaoxiao sat by the window, quietly watching the scenery outside.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something important, she quickly turned to Xiao Wang, who was driving, and said, "Comrade Xiao Wang, could you please stop at the supply and marketing cooperative? I have something I want to buy."

Xiao Wang readily agreed and quickly drove the car to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Shen Xiaoxiao hurriedly got off the bus and ran into the supply and marketing cooperative.

About ten minutes later, she returned to the car carrying two items wrapped in oil paper.

Shen Xiaochuan looked curiously at the things in his sister's arms, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Is this a thank-you gift?"

Shen Xiaoxiao nodded gently and said "Mmm," then carefully placed the oil paper package on the back seat.

The car continued on its way and soon arrived at the station.

Xiao Wang skillfully parked the car, and before Shen Xiaochuan and Shen Xiaoxiao could react, he had already strode into the ticket hall.

A short while later, Xiao Wang returned, carrying not only two train tickets, but also two sleeper tickets.
