She doesn't want to pretend anymore

However, it is the middle of the night now, and even if everyone receives the news, it will not be as fast as handling the case during the day.

Manshu did his homework until the early morning, and fell asleep on Yan Zhan's desk without knowing when.

Yan Zhan worked until late at night and was very sleepy.

But he still forced himself to carry Manshu into the lounge and put him on the bed.

He went to wash his face and planned to continue looking through the surveillance footage to find out where the couple had appeared and who had come into contact with them.

This was originally the police's job, but Yan Zhan was completely regarded as a non-staff member by Tong Yan and was drafted into the police force.

Unfortunately, just as he put Mansu down, the person on the bed woke up.

"Third Uncle?" Manshu's hand was still on Yan Zhan's neck, and he hugged him tightly in a daze.

Seeing her watery eyes, Yan Zhan rubbed her hair and said, "Go to sleep."

Manshu noticed the dark circles under Yan Zhan's eyes and frowned: "You should get some sleep too. The police are investigating the case and we have to trust them."

She didn't mean to stop Yan Zhan from finding Yan Siyu quickly.

But Yan Zhan's biological clock was on time, and he was already extremely sleepy at 10 o'clock in the evening.

Now his eyes were red from staying up all night, and Manshu still felt distressed.

"Well, I'll go sleep on the sofa outside." Yan Zhan planned to take a nap for two hours and then get up.

One reason was to find Yan Siyu, and the second was that Tong Yan said that similar cases had occurred not only in City C, but all over the country.

Human traffickers pretend to be other people's parents or a woman's husband and forcibly take people away. Some even let elementary school students get on the bus to show them the way and then take people away.

Such cases occur one after another, but the hideouts of human traffickers have never been found.

He suspected that this was a tight-knit organization, with people in the organization divided into several groups that committed crimes on the move.

Logically, there shouldn't be that many buyers, but they committed hundreds of cases in just a few months.

If this happened in the same city or province, it would have surely attracted the attention of higher-ups.

Unfortunately, these cases were scattered across the country and did not receive any attention for a while.

In a small place, the disappearance of two or three people would not attract much attention.

Ultimately, it is because of the state's poor supervision, otherwise the problem would not have been discovered only now.

This is a big case, but also a bit weird.

Tong Yan has a keen sense of smell, and Yan Zhan is not bad either. They always feel that there is something they have overlooked.

The two discussed for a long time over the computer, but there was no progress.

At this moment, Tong Yan stopped sending messages, so Yan Zhan had time to settle Manshu.

"How can you sleep on the sofa?" Manshu muttered, then moved his body to give up half of the bed.

"Uncle San, you can sleep here."

Yan Zhan looked at the little girl on the bed in disbelief: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Inviting a man to sleep with her was definitely not something she could do.

"I know, I just want you to sleep, not to sleep with me..."

Manshu might not have woken up fully yet, so he spoke without thinking.

Yan Zhan stared at her, and Manshu realized belatedly that he had said the wrong thing.

"Well, what I mean is that the bed is so wide that we can sleep together without getting in each other's way. Since we have a bed, why bother with the sofa?"

"The sofa isn't that comfortable after all. If you don't get enough rest, how are you going to work tomorrow?"

People who earn tens of millions of dollars in minutes can suffer huge losses if something goes wrong at work, even just a misjudgment of a decimal point.

Manshu's argument was well-reasoned and irrefutable.

In fact, Yan Zhan didn't want to refute her.

He reached out and scratched her nose: "Don't regret it."
