Lin Jiaxuan's new image caused quite a stir in the department!

Looking at the delicate and pretty young girl, no one could connect her with the dirty little beggar she used to be. It was truly like the ugly duckling transforming into a swan!

"Xuanxuan, you're actually so beautiful." Mu Shihan couldn't help but praise.

"I-I'm not pretty, sister, you look much better than me!" Lin Jiaxuan said with her head down, still appearing a bit shy about her surroundings.

Mu Shihan laughed and said, "Let's officially get to know each other. I'm Mu Shihan, and from now on, we're friends. This is for you!"

As she spoke, she took off a necklace from her neck, the diamond on it sparkling brightly, like a star in the sky.

At this moment, a female officer exclaimed, "It's a limited edition from Van Cleef & Arpels!"

The male officer next to her asked curiously, "You recognize that necklace?"

The female officer nodded, her face full of shock as she replied, "That's the limited edition necklace from Van Cleef & Arpels released last month, only a thousand in the world. See that diamond in the middle? Even if we pooled our whole life's salary, it wouldn't be enough to buy even half of it."

"Isn't that an exaggeration?" Someone couldn't help but widen their eyes and say, "So, is Brother Feng actually a secret tycoon?"

Realizing this, everyone couldn't stay calm. According to the female officer, being able to get a necklace limited to a thousand worldwide, just how rich is Xiao Feng or his family?

The reason everyone thought this was because Mu Shihan had explained to everyone that she was adopted by Xiao Feng's family, and they aren't biological siblings.

This "not biological siblings" point was particularly emphasized by Mu Shihan.

Although everyone thought there was no need to stress this point, after all, Xiao Feng's last name is Xiao, and Mu Shihan's last name is Mu. They're obviously not the same, who would mistake them for siblings?

"No, no!" Lin Jiaxuan shook her small hands, refusing, "This gift is too valuable, I can't accept it."

"Valuable or not, from now on, we're sisters. If you don't accept it, then you don't want to be my sister." Mu Shihan said with some displeasure.

The female officer who recognized the necklace's value wished she were Lin Jiaxuan. If someone were willing to give her such a necklace, she'd become sworn sisters, kneeling and bowing if needed!

Lin Jiaxuan fell silent, while Mu Shihan smiled, "That's right, you'll be my sister from now on. If anyone bullies you, tell me."

She then placed the necklace around Lin Jiaxuan's neck.

"Xuanxuan, you look even more beautiful with this necklace on!" Mu Shihan generously praised Lin Jiaxuan, examining her with satisfaction as if admiring her own work.

Xiao Feng, looking on from the side, felt baffled. Others might not know, but he was clear about the little girl's temperament, and she wasn't as generous as she appeared.

In some ways, Mu Shihan was even a bit stingy, so why did she seem to have changed her tune now?

After the crowd dispersed, Xiao Feng pulled Mu Shihan aside: "Alright, what's your real intention?"

"What intention?" Mu Shihan looked innocent, spreading her little hands: "What intention could I have? I just thought Xuanxuan looked pitiful, and I wanted to take care of her."

"If I hadn't told you I'm suspicious of her, you might have done this, but knowing I'm suspicious and still doing this, you must have your own thoughts." Xiao Feng said plainly, "So just say it, what do you really want to do?"

Mu Shihan sighed in slight defeat: "Alright, I just think the more suspicious she is, the closer we should get to her. Knowing something is better than knowing nothing, right?"

"You still refuse to suspect Lin Jiaxuan?" Xiao Feng frowned.

"Honestly, that's right." Mu Shihan replied seriously, "You mentioned that you taught some vagrants a lesson in an abandoned building. From that, she could make a rough assessment of your abilities. If that's the case, she wouldn't need to enter your radar at all."

Mu Shihan thought for a bit, then added, "If we really want to point out something suspicious, I still find that old lady more suspicious. Xuanxuan is just a child; she can't have such complex thoughts."

"Haha." Xiao Feng laughed dryly, feeling helpless about the little girl's naivety.

In fact, although Xiao Feng had only seen Lin Jiaxuan's eyes a few times, he always felt they weren't those of an average ten-year-old girl.

Yet, that still proved nothing. Lin Jiaxuan's background was different from most of her peers, which could easily explain personality differences due to different survival environments.

But regardless, maybe it's preconceived notions, so far, his suspicion of Lin Jiaxuan remained high.

"Xuanxuan." Mu Shihan called Lin Jiaxuan over, pulling out her phone and said, "Shall we play a game?"

"I don't know how to use a phone." Lin Jiaxuan said a bit embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'll teach you." Mu Shihan remained enthusiastic, treating her like a real sister.

Lin Jiaxuan hesitated for a long time, clutching her clothes, and said softly, "Sister Shihan, I... I haven't been to school, I can't read."

"..." Mu Shihan was momentarily stunned, something she hadn't anticipated, but she quickly recovered: "Then I'll teach you to read first."

"Thank you, Sister Shihan, but maybe we shouldn't. I've always been slow to learn since I was little, so it might just be a bother." Lin Jiaxuan blushingly replied.

Mu Shihan said sternly, "In today's society, you can't get by without being able to read. Even if it's not for the country's benefit, you should learn more for yourself."

"But I..."

"Don't say another word, I'll definitely teach you to read. I'll see who has a dictionary, and we'll start with the basics." Mu Shihan declared decisively.

To be fair, when the little girl got serious, she really had some persistence. She spent the whole morning with Lin Jiaxuan, patiently teaching her, showing no signs of impatience.

Xiao Feng clicked his tongue in amazement, finally seeing a benefit from Lin Jiaxuan's presence: keeping the little girl occupied so she wouldn't wander around causing trouble.

At noon, Mu Shihan closed the dictionary and said to Song Keren, "Sister Keren, I'm going to find Brother Xiao Feng, let's go out to eat?"

From behind the desk, Song Keren, focused on writing a report, replied without looking up, "There's lunch in the cafeteria."

Mu Shihan said, "The cafeteria food is probably not tasty, I think going out to eat would be better."

Song Keren paused with her pen, wanting to argue, but in the end, she couldn't say anything.

Because, honestly, the police station cafeteria's lunch wasn't good, barely palatable, let alone delicious.

With that thought, Song Keren suddenly felt it was time to improve her diet; it couldn't keep going on like this.

At that moment, Xiao Feng walked in, "No one's eaten yet, right? How about we go out to eat together?"

"Awesome!" Mu Shihan cheered, "I was just thinking about eating out." She said, grabbing Lin Jiaxuan and heading towards Xiao Feng.

Meanwhile, Song Keren shut down her computer, thinking, it's rare for him to be so generous.

But right after stepping out the door, Xiao Feng turned his head, looking at her strangely, "I didn't say you were invited, why are you following?"

"Ha..." Song Keren stood stunned for a full three seconds, then said angrily, "Stop flattering yourself, even if you invited me, I might not go."

"That's convenient because I wasn't planning on inviting you anyway." Xiao Feng laughed, and then left with the two girls, one tall and one short.

Song Keren was so furious her teeth nearly gritted to dust. Was this jerk her nemesis?

Why did he always manage to rile her up?
