This matter involves quite a few things, and the duty officer also had considerations.
Rong Yan did not wait for him to speak, but said again, "Uncle Police, I don’t want to miss tomorrow’s exam. May I ask if you can help me get a temporary ID card first?"
When the duty officer heard "Uncle Police," his brow twitched, and he immediately responded, "My last name is Li; you can call me... call me Police Li."
"If it’s a temporary ID card, I can expedite it for you, but you would need a household registration book. Did you bring it?"
Rong Yan shook her head. "No, I escaped from home. They were closely monitoring me. I couldn’t go in to get it."
Police Li furrowed his brow.
This was going to be somewhat difficult to handle since certain procedures still had to be followed.
"Just wait a moment, I’ll go and report this to my superiors."
This matter would require consulting the director.
Rong Yan nodded, "Okay!"
Then she sat there obediently.
Police Li didn’t delay any longer; he turned and headed to the director’s office.
Rong Yan looked around but remained still.
Fortunately, it was summer, and though there were more mosquitoes, it was not cold.
If it had been winter, she would have had to endure the cold.
The two eggs and a bowl of porridge she had earlier kept her not so hungry, so during the wait, she simply took out the books she had brought to read...
The college entrance exam seemed a very distant thing to her, looking at the books was also a way to regain a sense of familiarity.
On this side, Police Li arrived at their director’s office.
Because he knew that the director seemingly hadn’t left work today.
However, his timing was still quite fortuitous as the director was just packing up to go home.
Seeing him come in, the director asked, "What’s the matter?"
Xiao Li clearly explained the ins and outs.
The director pondered, then spoke, "We can’t just rely on one person’s word. So, let the young lady stay here and you and I will go to the Rong Family in Laiwang Village together." This text is hosted at novel※fire.net
"Ah! Weren’t you going to leave work, Director?" Xiao Li was somewhat confused.
The director immediately glared at him. "Can I leave work with things ? Come on, get ready, we’re going to Laiwang Village right now."
The town had over a hundred villages, and he had some understanding of them.
Laiwang Village was a village with many surnames, dominated by the Chen and Wang families, among other surnames.
In any case, Laiwang Village was quite large.
But finding someone there was still possible.
"Okay." Police Li had already gotten the address and direction from the young lady.
So, this time, there was no need to bring the person back.
The two of them had to pass through the police station lobby.
Seeing them come out, Rong Yan stood up.
Xiao Li immediately introduced her, "Director, this is the young lady I told you about, the one who reported the case. Young lady, this is our director, his last name is Zheng."
Rong Yan courteously greeted, "Hello, Director Zheng!"
Director Zheng nodded at her, "You’re Rong Yan, right? The matter you reported is a bit unusual. We’re planning to go to Laiwang Village now to understand the situation."
His gaze lingered on the book in Rong Yan’s hands for a moment. "Don’t worry, no matter what the truth of the matter is, we guarantee we won’t let you miss tomorrow’s college entrance exam because of the ID issue. For now, I’ll have someone arrange a place for you to stay, so you can rest well tonight..."
Rong Yan immediately said, "Thank you, Director Zheng, but that won’t be necessary. Since you’re going to my house now, I want to go with you and confront them face to face."
Her expression was exceptionally firm.
