Chapter 81 Following the Rules
Ye Mu'en had already scoured the household registration lists of several cities. Today, she had just disembarked from the train in Qishi, still determined to find her sister. The only downside was the persistent shadow trailing behind her.
"I say, how long are you going to keep this up? Who exactly is this Ye Shenge?"
Han Yu Yan, with a duffel bag slung over his shoulder, shouted at the person in front.
"I don't get it, how important can this person be for you to abandon your job? And to the point that I'm now unemployed like you."
Ye Mu'en was not pleased.
"Did I ask you to discharge from the army? You should be at work, not following me around and blaming me."
Ye Mu'en wasn't about to coddle him. She had realized this guy always acted up; he wasn't comfortable unless he was picking a fight. With the original host's quiet personality, she couldn't fathom how these two became best friends.
"Heh heh, Muzi, where are we going now? You know, the people in Qishi are quite numerous. Looks like we'll be spending ten days to half a month at the Public Security Bureau again."
Ye Mu'en ignored the talkative man and quickly headed off after asking someone for directions to the nearest guesthouse to the Public Security Bureau.
"Let's go quickly, we'll settle in first."
"Muzi, can we eat something first? The food on the train was awful."
After checking into the guesthouse, Ye Mu'en changed her clothes and immediately went to the Public Security Bureau, leaving Han Yu Yan alone.
"Hey, let's eat first. No need to rush."
Han Yu Yan pouted resentfully, watching the person who had already walked away.
"Hmph, if you don't eat, I will. Nothing is more important than eating."
Ye Mu'en had already arrived at the Public Security Bureau and even knocked on the director's office door.
"Mu'en, you've grown so big."
"Uncle Hong, it's been a long time."
"Sit, sit down!"
Hong Ai Guo had been Ye Huai Jin's subordinate. After being injured and discharged, Ye Huai Jin had arranged for him to work at the Public Security Bureau, and he was the one who had helped him the most during difficult times.
"How is your father doing lately?"
Ye Mu'en acted very affectionately. After all, they were all from military backgrounds, and there was a certain hot-blooded camaraderie among them.
"My dad is doing well, just busy."
"Haha, so your mother doesn't let him come home?"
Ye Mu'en pursed her lips and smiled faintly. No matter the circumstances, her father feared her mother the most. This was exactly the same as the original host's father.
"It's common for him not to be allowed home."
After they chatted warmly for a while, Ye Mu'en got to the point.
"Uncle Hong, I need your help with something. Please take a look at this note from Uncle Yu. After all, we have to follow the rules when we handle matters."
Hong Ai Guo took the note and smiled after reading it.
"Only that fellow Yu Ming Li would do something like this, so meticulous, never leaving room for anyone to find fault. This little matter is just a matter of a word, yet he's making it sound so troublesome."
Ye Mu'en just smiled, resolutely saying no more.
"Alright, I'll issue you a note as well, to make things more convenient for you in the county and township."
"Thank you, Uncle Hong. I'll treat you to a meal another day."
"Why another day? Uncle Hong is treating you today."
With that, Hong Ai Guo put his arm around Ye Mu'en and left the office. Just as Ye Mu'en left, Ye Shenge was squatting in the alley next to the Public Security Bureau.
Speaking of the Public Security Bureau reminded her of Ye Laopo. Ye Shenge didn't know the details of Ye Laopo's embarrassing moments at the Public Security Bureau, but she could imagine how pathetic they would be without even thinking about it.
Ye Laopo had loitered around the entrance of the Public Security Bureau for a long time, not daring to go in. Ordinary citizens like them were usually most afraid of the police. Let alone coming to the Public Security Bureau, she didn't even have the courage to enter.
