When the Cheng Sisters and Guo Zhiqian arrived outside the boy's house in a taxi, they noticed a car parked at the entrance. They hesitated for a moment before hurriedly entering the boy's home.
Just as Guo Zhiqian and the Cheng Sisters walked into the boy's house, the boy's father, Old Zhang, was approaching from a distance with a doctor.
The doctor, seeing the two cars at the boy's front door, curiously asked, "Old Zhang, did you have some important guests today? Why are there two cars parked out front? Who are they?"
Old Zhang looked up just in time to see Guo Zhiqian and the Cheng Sisters walking into his house.
Old Zhang quickly replied, "I don't know them!"
"Are they good people or bad people?"
"I have no idea!"
Having seen many things in his life, the doctor suddenly had a bad feeling: "Let's go! Hurry!"
Old Zhang was puzzled: "Why are we leaving so quickly?"
The doctor urged, "If we take too long, your wife and children might be in danger!"
"Ah—" Old Zhang exclaimed in surprise, and he and the doctor hurriedly quickened their pace toward the front door.
Guo Zhuanghuai was crouched on the wall, watching as Guo Zhiqian and the Cheng Sisters approached the house. Suddenly, he made a slight noise that caught the attention of the already alert Cheng Sisters. Cheng Yuwan glanced over, prompting Guo Zhuanghuai to quickly pull his head back.
Cheng Yuyao was also observing her surroundings. At the front door, Old Zhang and the doctor rushed over. Old Zhang pushed open the half-closed door a bit more, causing it to creak and drawing the attention of Guo Zhuanghuai and the Cheng Sisters toward Old Zhang and the doctor.
Old Zhang asked the Cheng Sisters, "What are you doing here? Why did you come to my house?"
Before the Cheng Sisters could respond, Guo Zhiqian said, "We are investigating yesterday's Dead Chicken Case."
Old Zhang replied, "Isn't that case already closed? The dog was taken away by the police!"
Guo Zhiqian responded, "That wild dog is not the real culprit!"
Being an honest farmer, Old Zhang became flustered by Guo Zhiqian's words. "Then... then the real killer isn't in our house. You need to leave! Get out!"
Old Zhang picked up a hoe from beside the wall, ready to chase Guo Zhiqian and the Cheng Sisters away. Guo Zhiqian grabbed the other end of the hoe. "Uncle, we are not bad people! We know your son has returned; we are here to save him!"
"My son doesn't need your help!"
The door was pulled open from inside by Zhang Wife, and Tao Ziwen, Wang Zhiyuan, and Zhang Xin peeked out from inside.
Tao Ziwen saw Cheng Yuwan and exclaimed, "Yuwan, why are you here?"
Seeing Cheng Yuwan arrive, Zhang Xin deliberately struck a victorious pose and acted very familiar with Tao Ziwen.
Cheng Yuwan was displeased to see Tao Ziwen and Zhang Xin together. "If you can come, why can't I?"
Old Zhang looked at Zhang Wife and asked, "What's going on here?"
Zhang Wife pointed at Tao Ziwen and the others. "They... they are from the police station. They just came to ask about our children."
Everyone stood at the door, and for a moment, Old Zhang didn't know how to handle the situation. It was the doctor who had come to treat the boy who took charge: "Since everyone is here, let's have them come in and sit down first. It's important that I see to the child."
Old Zhang hurriedly said, "I... my house... Wife, quickly... let them in!"
"Oh!" Zhang Wife opened the door and stood by it. "Then... everyone can come in. Please have some water first."
Old Zhang leaned his hoe against the wall. After everyone had entered, he quietly discussed matters with the doctor.
Old Zhang asked, "What if they take the child away?"
The doctor reassured him, "They are police officers, not bandits. How could they just take your child?"
Old Zhang sighed, "You'll understand once you go inside."
The doctor followed Old Zhang into the house, still confused.
Guo Zhiqian and the Cheng Sisters, who had just entered, were mentally prepared but were still very surprised when they saw the Pale Yellow-Skinned Boy.
The Pale Yellow-Skinned Boy was holding a chicken leg and was warily watching everyone in the room.
The doctor was stunned by the boy's condition and instantly understood Old Zhang's concerns: "Old Zhang, are you sure this is your son?"
Guo Zhuanghuai, who had been peering over the wall, saw that everyone had entered the house. After thinking for a moment, he climbed down from the wall, brushed off the dust from his clothes, and walked away down the road toward the distance.
He was going to send a warning.
He arrived at the public telephone booth, picked up the receiver, inserted a coin, and dialed. Then he spoke to the person on the other end, "Chairman, it's me, Guo Zhuanghuai... The boy can't be retrieved anymore; your son Tao Ziwen has already found the child's home. My son is also at their house, and I'm afraid they will recognize me."
In the Dow Pharmaceuticals Building's Laboratory, Tao Gongjin, who was answering the call, said with a serious expression, "You need to find an opportunity to act!" After a moment of thought, he added, "I will create an opportunity for you!"
After hanging up on Guo Zhuanghuai, Tao Gongjin directly called Zhang Zhaolin, hoping that Zhang Zhaolin could help him remedy the situation.
Zhang Zhaolin scratched his head while sitting behind his desk and asked, "You've caused such a big mess; how am I supposed to help you?"
Tao Gongjin replied, "The Sheriff at the police station listens to you. You need to have the Sheriff send someone to capture that pale-skinned child!"
"Am I supposed to send him? Isn't your son a policeman too? Why don't you let your son catch him and bring him to you?"
Tao Gongjin hurriedly said, "My son won't listen to me! He has no idea I'm working on a Biological Experiment project."
Zhang Zhaolin reluctantly replied, "Fine, I understand!"
Once Zhang Zhaolin finished speaking, he slammed down the receiver. After a moment of hesitation, he picked up the phone again and called the Sheriff. Naturally, he instructed the Sheriff to arrange for personnel to capture the pale-skinned boy.
At the police station, Wang Junpeng was sitting in his office doing nothing when suddenly the Sheriff pushed open the door.
Wang Junpeng quickly put on his police cap and stood at attention to salute, "Sheriff!"
The Sheriff didn't bother with pleasantries and said directly, "There's a case that needs your attention!"
Wang Junpeng asked, "What case?"
"That's the place where you killed that dog yesterday. That dog was innocent, do you know?"
"How is that possible?" Wang Junpeng quickly retorted, "When I killed it, it was eating a chicken! Not only did I see it, but you can ask..."
"Ask what?" Sheriff said seriously as he looked at Wang Junpeng. "I want you to take a team back to that place and catch the real culprit who killed those hens!"
"Yes, Sheriff!"
Wang Junpeng realized the seriousness of the situation; he didn't want to hear the Sheriff continue to ramble, so he started to walk out.
"Stop!" The Sheriff called him back and then asked, "Do you know who to catch when you get there?"
Wang Junpeng thought for a moment: "No."
"Then how many people are you taking?"
"Um..."
The Sheriff scolded, "You don't even know who you're going to catch, and you're talking about how many people you're taking? How are you going to solve the case?"
Wang Junpeng looked at the Sheriff in confusion.
The Sheriff continued, "Let me tell you, the one who killed those chickens is a mutated boy with yellowish skin. He's particularly vicious. You need to bring more people this time; make sure to capture him, regardless of life or death, understand?"
Wang Junpeng quickly saluted, "Understood, Sheriff."
Sheriff felt relieved and said, "Alright, go ahead!"
Wang Junpeng turned and walked away.
This time, Wang Junpeng did not want to make the same mistake as last night. He confidently stepped out of the police station with just five or six people.
One of his subordinates, Er Niu, asked him, "Captain Wang, didn't Sheriff say to bring more people? Isn't it too few to just take us? What if a fight breaks out? We might not have enough manpower!"
Wang Junpeng replied, "Don't you think Sheriff is hinting at something? It's just one boy. If I bring too many people, I'll get scolded when I come back."
"Oh! Then let's just take a few of us to catch that kid. When we return, won't Sheriff reward us?"
Wang Junpeng and the other officers laughed proudly. Suddenly, Wang Junpeng said sternly, "Attention!"
The five or six officers quickly lined up.
Subordinate Long San flattered Wang Junpeng, saying, "Captain Wang, since it's just us, let's take a taxi!"
Wang Junpeng countered, "If we take a taxi, who's paying?"
Long San fell silent.
Wang Junpeng scolded his subordinates, "Don't treat the department's money like it's nothing! We stick to the old rules!"
The officers all looked disheartened. Meanwhile, Wang Junpeng had already started shouting commands: "Stand straight, march in step! Hurry up and keep up!"
Under the urging of Wang Junpeng, this lifeless police team, composed of just a few individuals, officially set off.
Wang Junpeng, along with five or six police officers, had barely covered half the distance when they were already panting and exhausted. One officer gasped for breath and pleaded, "Captain Wang... Captain Wang... let's take a break, we can't run anymore!"
Wang Junpeng was still full of energy as he replied, "Take a break? We're almost there! You're so weak because you don't usually exercise, you know? Keep up, hurry! Just half an hour more and we'll reach our destination!"
"What? Another half an hour?" The five or six officers exclaimed in surprise...
...
At the boy's home, the pale-skinned boy looked anxiously at the crowd in the room, making faint whimpering sounds. The doctor was checking the boy's pulse while the parents waited anxiously nearby.
The doctor shook his head repeatedly: "It's still not good. I really think you should listen to the police and take this child to a good hospital for treatment."
Old Zhang hesitated: "How much will it cost to send him to the hospital?"
Cheng Yuyao responded, "The hospital won't be able to treat this child's illness either. Qilin Pharmaceutical Factory has been developing new reagents, and the chairman of Qilin Pharmaceutical Factory is an internationally renowned talented pharmacist. He must have a way to cure this child's illness!"
Wang Zhiyuan asked Cheng Yuyao, "Even if he is a talented pharmacist, he is not a doctor at a hospital. Why do you believe he can definitely cure the child?"
Cheng Yuwan answered for her sister: "If he can't cure this child's illness, then no one in Shanghai can!"
Wang Zhiyuan countered, "What do you mean no one? Dow Pharmaceuticals can't cure this child's illness?"
The doctor also sided with Wang Zhiyuan: "I think Dow Pharmaceuticals might be better. The medicines produced by Dow Pharmaceuticals take effect quickly, and their technology is definitely superior to that of Qilin Pharmaceutical!"
The Cheng Sisters know many unknown secrets about Tao Pharmaceuticals, but they cannot disclose their identities or these secrets without Mother’s permission. Moreover, there are two police officers present—Tao Ziwen and Wang Zhiyuan. Therefore, even though Cheng Yuwan feels deeply dissatisfied, she has to suppress her emotions and swallow back all the words she wants to argue.
Tao Ziwen suddenly said, "Let's do as the Cheng Sisters suggested and take the child to Zhou Junsheng first!"
Wang Zhiyuan protested, "Ziwen..."
Tao Ziwen interrupted, "Enough. Don't forget our purpose for being here—we need to find out who the kidnappers of these children are!"
Wang Zhiyuan fell silent.
The boy looked anxiously at everyone, chewing on chicken, making a threatening "woo woo" sound with his mouth.
