Chapter 1258 - 1233: All Women in the World Are the Same

Zhou Susu and the male officer waited anxiously outside, not daring to knock on the door, afraid of startling Little Jing.

At this moment, the door opened, and this time it was Ye Chen holding Little Jing’s hand as they walked out.

"Alright, let’s head out now," Ye Chen said with a smile.

Ye Chen and Little Jing walked in front, with Zhou Susu and Officer Zhang following behind.

The four of them walked out of the building together and arrived at the car.

This was the first time Little Jing had left the house since the incident.

The sunlight outside felt a bit glaring to her, so she shielded her eyes with her small hand.

Seeing Little Jing’s reaction, Ye Chen thought they should quickly find the culprit so Little Jing could return to her normal life.

As soon as the case is solved and the culprit caught, Little Jing can, like other children, go to school and have many playmates with her.

That kind of life is what a child her age should have, not being confined in a room under police protection all day.

In fact, Zhou Susu and the rest didn’t want this either, but Little Jing’s life safety was more important than her mental and physical health.

Ye Chen didn’t rush Little Jing to get in the car, but instead wanted her to get used to the outside environment.

After a while, Little Jing slowly put down her hand, breathing in the fresh air outside.

It must be said that children really do adapt much more easily than adults.

Seeing Little Jing somewhat adjusted, Ye Chen smiled and said to her, "Little Jing, get in the car, and we’ll head to your home now."

Little Jing nodded, and under Zhou Susu’s guidance, got into the car.

The car sped along and quickly arrived at the neighborhood of Little Jing’s home.

Ye Chen drove straight in and stopped at the entrance.

Zhou Susu and Officer Zhang got out first. They surveyed the surroundings before allowing Ye Chen and Little Jing to exit the car.

The four of them walked into the villa where Little Jing lived, with police officers still guarding the place.

Seeing Zhou Susu approaching, the two officers hurried over and said, "Captain Zhou, what brings you here?"

"Well, I brought Little Jing back to pick up a few things she left behind," Zhou Susu said with a smile.

The two officers looked at Little Jing beside Zhou Susu with sympathy.

It’s truly heartbreaking for such a young child to go through this.

With Zhou Susu and Ye Chen accompanying her, Little Jing slowly walked into the house.

At first, she had a nervous expression, even tightly gripping Ye Chen and Zhou Susu’s hands.

They knew this reaction meant Little Jing was very scared.

Ye Chen comforted Little Jing, saying, "Be good, Little Jing. With brother and sister here with you, there’s nothing to fear."

Zhou Susu quickly added, "It’s alright, Little Jing, there’s nothing to worry about."

Even for an adult, returning to a place that once caused psychological trauma would surely be frightening, let alone for Little Jing, who was only a few years old.

Just like that, Ye Chen and Zhou Susu comforted Little Jing as they continued walking forward.

Seeing Little Jing’s emotions slightly calm down, Ye Chen smiled and said, "Little Jing, let’s go find your little bear’s friend."

Holding the little bear Ye Chen had given her, Little Jing nodded. She glanced around before running into the study.

Ye Chen and Zhou Susu followed her in.

Seeing the two of them enter, Little Jing pointed to the bookshelf and then at her little bear.

Zhou Susu didn’t understand her meaning, but Ye Chen knew that the little bear should be in this study, and it was related to the bookshelf.

"Susu, come help me find something," Ye Chen said hurriedly.

"Find something? What are we looking for?" Zhou Susu asked, puzzled.

"This identical little bear," Ye Chen said, pointing at the one in Little Jing’s hands.

Since the incident, the police had thoroughly searched every inch of this villa, and she had seen the inventory list.

So Zhou Susu was very aware of what was in this room.

She didn’t recall any little bear toy being here.

Could they have missed something at the time and didn’t notice the little bear?

Since Ye Chen asked her to look for it, it indicated the little bear toy existed, especially with Little Jing pointing it out.

Zhou Susu searched the bookshelf carefully several times, but found nothing.

Ye Chen continued searching other parts of the study relentlessly.

In the end, both of them came up empty-handed, not finding the little bear toy.

"Strange, why isn’t it here?" Ye Chen muttered to himself.

Little Jing clearly said it was here, yet they couldn’t find it.

At this time, Zhou Susu also looked at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression and asked, "Ye Chen, why are we looking for the little bear toy? Is it related to the case?"

"Of course it’s related, which is why we must find it," Ye Chen said with determination.

Then, Ye Chen walked over to the bookshelf and gave it a gentle spin, and a magical scene unfolded.

Suddenly, a wall beside the bookshelf opened like a door.

Ye Chen and Zhou Susu quickly led Little Jing inside, where it was filled with her parents’ collection of famous paintings and antiques.

Most interestingly, there was a little bear identical to the one Little Jing held, lying there.

Seeing the little bear, Little Jing rushed over, picked it up, and rubbed her cheek against it repeatedly.

Ye Chen could see how much Little Jing loved this little bear, as it was a gift from her mother.

This little bear was crafted with much more attention to detail than the one Ye Chen had given her.

"This room holds precious items, and this little bear is just a plush toy, incomparable to these valuables, so why hide it in such a secret place?" Zhou Susu asked Ye Chen skeptically.

"Because there’s something very important inside it, and to Little Jing’s parents, it’s just as valuable as these antiques," Ye Chen replied.

Hearing Ye Chen’s response, Zhou Susu assumed that the little bear’s stomach must hold some treasure or something valuable.

"Oh, I get it. The valuables must be hidden inside the little bear. I’m sure it’s some jade, gems, or diamonds," Zhou Susu said, as if she had figured it out.

Ye Chen couldn’t help rolling his eyes, thinking that indeed, women everywhere thought of jewelry.

If Ye Chen were to tell Zhou Susu that things weren’t as she imagined, that the little bear was a recorder containing evidence of a crime, she would be astonished.
