Cheng Guodong, Qin Xin, and Tao Shen, accompanied by Tao Ti, arrived at the police station, where the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive. Two female police officers had red eyes, as if they had been crying.
"Please take a seat," an older police officer said, first offering an apology. He continued, "You may go back. This matter does not concern you, we will make proper arrangements for the two children."
Cheng Guodong, originally full of anger, calmed down unexpectedly and took several more glances at the seasoned officer.
The voice on the other end of the phone call he had received belonged to a female police officer, likely one of the two they had just seen.
It appeared that the old officer had given them a talking-to.
"Since we're here, let us at least see the children," Qin Xin said with a smile.
The old officer looked at the little girl, who nodded her head, "I want to see my twin brother and sister!"
