After arriving in the city, we met up with my old classmate and his police friend, and things became much easier after that.

Our program was broadcast very quickly and received a lot of attention with the help of the police in seeking adoptions, creating a significant public opinion impact.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, we saw Bai Zhaodi again.

This time it was with my old classmate, his police friend, and the Lin couple who were preparing to adopt her.

The Lin family is from Modu and are Buddhists. Due to health reasons, they have been childless for many years. They run an international trade business at home and have always funded various children's education.

After seeing our report, they were immediately attracted by the adoption recruitment at the end of the program. After screening the conditions, they have already registered with the police to go through the adoption process.

Considering Bai Zhaodi's actual situation, even though the process wasn't completed, the Lin couple had already practically started fostering her.

We met at a high-end restaurant in Modu, and Bai Zhaodi had already been renamed Lin Xixi, which means 'cherish'.

She was dressed in high-end fashion, obediently following behind the Lin couple. There was no trace of the fear and frailty she had while at the logging site; her face was full of happy smiles.

Obviously, the Lin couple treated her very well, which put our minds at ease.

And as for this new family member, the Lin couple were also very satisfied.

Besides being well-behaved and sensible, the Lin couple kept praising, "Our daughter is so smart, isn't she, Xixi? The teacher at the training class said her IQ is 140. In the future, she can choose between Tsinghua and Peking University. We are truly blessed."

Lin Xixi shyly nodded and expressed that she would study hard and earn money in the future to take good care of her parents.

At the end of the meal, we took a photo with the family of three.

After watching Lin Xixi and her family leave, my old classmate's police friend lit a cigarette and said meaningfully, "Do you know, we later did an autopsy on Bai Haoyu and found out he didn't die of illness."

I was stunned and didn't understand what he meant by that.

"He was suffocated. It was 24 hours after Li Yaozu left the Bai Sanshui house."

I didn't understand and looked at him.

"Do you know how Bai Sanshui died?"

My eyes opened wide.

"He was pushed down. Lin Mama was right; she is a very smart child."

Looking at Lin Xixi's smiling face in the DSLR, I shook my head

and said, "So what?"

The policeman nodded and exhaled a puff of smoke, "Li Yaozu had long been using superstition to control residents and amass wealth."

"He confessed to the crime of rape and surrogate pregnancy through child-seeking, so we didn't pursue it further."

I smiled and shook his hand, "Happy New Year."
