Afternoon.
Past 4 PM.
After the statements were taken, Zhang Ye picked Chenchen up. Along the way, he kept nagging at Chenchen, criticizing and scolding her. He was so agitated that the taxi driver kept looking in the rearview mirror. Finally, he tried to smooth things over with a few words of advice. Chenchen did not have much of a reaction. She did not take Zhang Ye's scolding of her to heart. She just looked out the window at ease, which made Zhang Ye even angrier.
"Did you hear what I said?"
"Oh."
"Don't do it again!"
"Yes."
"That was so dangerous! Do you think you're me? "
Caishikou.
Back at his parents' house.
The moment Zhang Ye opened the door, Chenchen slipped into the house.
She first went to find Zhang Ye's mother, who was preparing the dishes in the kitchen. "Grandma, I've performed a meritorious deed!"
His mother said, baffled, "Ah?"
Then Chenchen walked into the living room. "Grandpa, I've performed a meritorious deed!"
"What meritorious deed?" His father looked at her kindly.
His mother also came out of the kitchen, shaking off the water droplets on her hands. She said with a smile, "Did you help Mengmeng's parents cook? Not bad, you're such a good girl. You should be more diligent when eating at their house. "
Zhang Ye harrumphed, "What do you mean cook? This darn child brought Mengmeng and her classmates to catch thieves! They even alerted the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Key Case Investigation Unit! Just now, the entire Beijing media gathered at the scene! "
His mother said in shock, "Ah? What? "
His father was also anxious, "What happened?"
Zhang Ye told them everything from beginning to end in a bad mood. Then he started scolding again, "Don't you guys think it's infuriating? She scared me to death! If something were to happen to her, how am I going to explain it to her family when her aunt comes back!? If they push me too far, I won't be taking care of her in the future. I'll hand her over to the country! "
Chenchen pouted her little mouth.
Zhang Ye stared at her, "Look at that expression!"
Chenchen said unhappily, "I performed a meritorious deed."
Zhang Ye lifted his chin, "Come on, what meritorious deed!?"
"I did a meritorious deed!" Chenchen insisted.
Mom patted her son. "You brat, stop talking so much. Don't be so fierce to the child. Our Chen-chen solved the biggest theft case in the country. Isn't that a meritorious service?" Mom went up to pat Chen-chen's head. "Good job, Chen-chen. Grandma has a whole new level of respect for you!"
Only then was Chenchen satisfied. "This is what I should do."
His father said with lingering fear, "It's just too dangerous."
Mom shouted at Chen-chen and said, "What's so dangerous about following a petty thief? Your son even fought with the hijackers with his bare hands and piloted a plane. Why didn't you say it was dangerous? "
Dad: "…"
Chenchen nodded and said earnestly, "Zhang Ye, you are too disobedient."
Zhang Ye was furious, "… Do you believe that I won't beat you up?"
Mom lightly kicked her son's calf, "Who are you going to beat up? Hurry up and help me cook dinner. Let the child calm down. We have to celebrate this matter today. Our Chenchen is too awesome!"
Chenchen was also pleased with what she heard. She calmly leaned back on the sofa and said with a proud expression, "Zhang Ye, I'm hungry."
It made Zhang Ye roll his eyes, "You even became a lord?"
Not long after, Zhang Ye got a call. It was a female staff member from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, "Hello, is this Rao Chenchen's family member?"
Zhang Ye said, "Yes."
The female staff member asked, "Are you her guardian?"
Zhang Ye said, "It's considered temporary. I'm a friend of her aunt. Her aunt, who is also her guardian, is not in Beijing for the time being. She has temporarily handed the child over to me. If there's anything, just let me know."
The female staff member said gently, "Alright, we have special procedures for special cases here. The reward for assisting in the investigation has already been specially approved at the first instance. The reward for Rao Chenchen's little friend is two hundred thousand yuan. The reward is in the form of cash. Can you bring your child to the Municipal Public Security Bureau tomorrow to collect it? Besides, there might be a small press conference here as well. The owner of the 40 million RMB heist case at Chun Shuyuan has just contacted us and wishes for you to be there tomorrow. He would like to thank you in person and might have made a silk banner to give to Rao Chenchen and the other children. The owner is quite excited and has repeatedly asked us to pass on the message. "
"Ah?" Zhang Ye said in surprise, "200,000 yuan as a reward?"
Chenchen's eyes lit up.
Zhang Ye's parents were also stunned for a moment.
The female staff member said, "Yes, because it was a major case and the people who helped solve the case were the children, to reward their bravery and wisdom, the reward is higher than usual."
Zhang Ye hurriedly said, "Alright, we will definitely be there tomorrow."
When the call ended, his mother hurriedly said, "The reward is that much?"
Zhang Ye nodded and looked at Chenchen happily. "You're still underage and don't need any money. I'll help you keep the money for the time being. It'll be your dowry in the future."
Chenchen was furious. "Zhang Ye! That's my reward! "
Zhang Ye blinked and said, "It's your money. I'll keep it for you first."
Luckily, his mother gave him a slap on the back. "Don't talk nonsense with me. Why are you touching the child's reward? Later, use your name to set up a bank card for Chenchen and deposit the money into it. Leave the card for Chenchen to keep!"
Zhang Ye harrumphed, "Her solving the case has a lot to do with my education and influence, so I should get a share of the reward as well!"
Chenchen nearly fainted from anger. "Zhang Ye, you're not behaving like an adult at all!"
…
On the same evening.
The news was bombarded!
On television, in the newspapers, on the radio, and on the Internet, there was a piece of jaw-dropping news that appeared everywhere. When everyone saw and heard it, their first reaction was disbelief!
"Chun Shuyuan's major heist case solved!"
"Elementary school student solves the biggest case in the country!"
"More than 50 people arrested, with more than 40 million RMB found to have been stolen!"
"Elementary school student solves a major case! Tracking down the criminal gang's lair! "
"Zhang Ye appeared at the scene to collect the hostages!"
"Shocking insider news! The elementary school student who led the arrest of the thieves is Zhang Ye's relative! "
Countless news reports were published. The entire country's citizens were also in an uproar!
…
In a restaurant in Beijing.
Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and a few other colleagues from The Voice's program team were having dinner together. Director Wu Yi had a little too much to drink and was singing loudly at the dining table when this piece of news appeared on the television in the lobby.
"Stop singing, stop singing!"
"Quick, look at the news! This … "
"This case was solved by an elementary school student? Zhang Ye's relative? "
"Damn, look at the back of that person in the video. I-Isn't that Chenchen!"
Wu Yi's drunkenness had sobered up quite a bit as he stared with wide eyes!
An image of Chenchen and a few other children appeared on the television. However, as Zhang Ye and the parents did not agree to let the children appear on screen, the camera only showed their backs. Their backs were even covered with a mosaic that wasn't too thick, so most people would not be able to recognize them. But it was different for these people from The Voice's program team. They connected the information about Zhang Ye's relative to the information about the elementary school student, and finally looked at that little back of theirs. Wasn't that Chenchen!? Back then, Chenchen had been staying at Central TV for a long period of time. Ha Qiqi and the others were very familiar with Chenchen and all of them liked this "Little Leader" who liked to boss people around!
"It's really Chenchen!"
"Oh my God! Chenchen went to catch the thieves and solve the case? "
"I've always known that Chenchen is very clever and crafty. She's different from other children, but solving a case … how can this be something that a primary school student can do!"
Ha Qiqi gave a wry smile. "Chenchen is really carved from the same mold as our Director Zhang!"
Zhang Zuo was also amused. "Yeah, they're really alike!"
When everyone heard that, they all expressed their agreement. This adult and child pair's personalities were really exactly the same. Wasn't Director Zhang just like that? He could find trouble even when there was nothing going on, and when there was something going on, he could stir up even more trouble!
… …
It went crazy online!
Various celebrity friends sent their "congratulatory messages" over!
Yao Jiancai: "…"
Zhang Xia: "…"
Fang Weihong: "…"
Dong Shanshan: "…"
Chen Guang and Fan Wenli: "…"
The celebrities expressed their shock!
The netizens also expressed that they could not accept it!
"Blind!"
"Heavens! Aren't primary school students these days too fierce? "
"Just what kind of world am I living in!"
"Primary school students? It's impossible to look straight at them! "
"This is too crazy!"
"I was wrong. I will never look down on primary school students again! You guys have won! "
"How is that possible? This must be fake news, right?"
"It can't be fake. All the media outlets are reporting about it!"
"Damn, this is too unbelievable! When I was in the second grade, I was still fucking playing in the mud. I didn't even know the difference between a boy and a girl! Even primary school students these days can solve crimes and catch thieves? And it's even one of the biggest burglary cases in the country? Isn't the difference too great! "
"Comparisons are odious. I'm kneeling to primary school students!"
"I still can't believe it! Th-This is impossible! It doesn't make sense! "
"Why is it impossible? Hur hur, look at this photo. Who is the person who came to pick up the child? And this news, take a look! "
"Eh, why does this person look a little familiar?"
"Holy shit, isn't that Zhang Ye!"
"What? She's that Zhang Ye fellow's relative? "
"I knew it! I knew it! "
"If she's Zhang Ye's relative, then everything makes sense! No wonder the child is so strange. So the adults in her family are all like that! Only a family like Zhang Ye's could raise such a godly child! "
"Hahahaha, this is so funny! So she's Zhang Ye's relative! "
"Teacher Zhang has become famous again. Just how does he educate his child! The way he educates his child is too heaven-defying! Even Earth can't stop him now! "
"Zhang Ye just smashed Tsinghua University's car two days ago and caused such a huge commotion. He's been quite idle these past two days, but his relative has started taking over the reins? He's starting to make a name for himself in the world of troublemakers? This family is so dedicated! They're really advancing wave after wave! "
"I'm pissing myself laughing!"
"Does it have to be so funny!"
The netizens exclaimed!
The people were stunned!
But more than that, they were happy. This news had really tickled them. As long as there was any news related to Zhang Ye, it would always be so funny. Even many of the people who did not like Zhang Ye could not help but laugh out loud when they saw this. This was because this matter was too strange!
What a funny adult!
And what a funny child!
Zhang Ye's family is really a bunch of freaking weirdos!
