The next day.
The hot search about the police officers solving a child trafficking case on Mid-Autumn Day, rescuing more than twenty abducted children, and reuniting several broken families on the day of the festival had gained even more traction after a night of circulation.
Not only on the hot search, but multiple videos about the incident also went viral on short video platforms.
People from all walks of life became aware of the event.
The families of all the police officers, including Han Fei's wife and daughter, also learned about it.
If it weren’t for this hot search, they wouldn’t have known how great and meaningful the work their husbands had done the day before was.
Recalling how she had complained about her husband missing another milestone in their daughter’s life, Han Fei’s wife felt a wave of guilt.
"So... he wasn’t just wasting his time."
Upon learning about the incident, Han Fei’s daughter also forgave her father for his absence, and her previously sullen face lit up with a smile again.
"Daddy isn’t a bad guy; Daddy’s a hero!"
...
That day, the police station was flooded with people bringing banners and gifts, one after another, without pause. These were the family members of the children who had been rescued the day before.
Along with the grateful families came various media outlets, lining up to interview the officers.
Seeing this, the officers couldn’t help but smile.
They felt even more convinced that what they had done the day before was truly meaningful.
The incident even caught the attention of the headquarters, which decided to commend all the officers and police stations involved in the operation.
Especially Han Fei’s station, which received special recognition, as they had taken the lead in cracking the trafficking case. Although officers from other provinces and cities had also participated, their contributions paled in comparison to Han Fei and Xu Mo’s.
At noon.
Just as they had finally managed to send off the gift-bearers and reporters, the officers’ families arrived.
They had come to express their apologies for misunderstanding their selfless dedication the night before, taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday to visit.
"Old Han, this is a lunchbox our daughter made for you herself. Last night, I scolded you so harshly—why didn’t you explain yourself?"
"Dad, everyone online is saying you’re a hero!"
This was the first time in Han Fei’s career that he had received such understanding from his family.
Especially hearing his daughter call him a "hero" instead of the "bad guy" from her sleep-talking the night before, Han Fei felt a complex mix of emotions.
Looking at his wife and daughter, who now understood his struggles, Han Fei wanted to cry but held back, forcing the tears welling up in his eyes to retreat. A grown man crying? That wouldn’t do.
"Dad, try the lunchbox I made for you! I did it all by myself—Mom didn’t help at all!"
"That’s amazing! I’ll definitely give it a try," Han Fei said with a smile, ruffling his daughter’s hair and taking the lunchbox from his wife.
He opened the lid and took a bite of the fried egg inside. The moment the flavor hit his tongue, his expression froze, and the tears he had just suppressed came pouring out uncontrollably.
The egg... was unbearably salty!
"Is it good, Dad? I added lots and lots of sugar!"
Sweetheart, what you added wasn’t sugar—it was salt! Han Fei finally understood why the egg was so salty.
His daughter loved sweet flavors, so she had prepared the lunchbox according to her own taste, but she had mistaken salt for sugar. No wonder it was so salty!
"It’s... *cough*... delicious, really delicious," Han Fei forced himself to nod.
"No wonder they say daughters are their fathers’ little angels. I’ve never had a lunchbox made by our daughter—you’re really lucky today," Han Fei’s wife said with a laugh.
Han Fei smiled wryly. His daughter was indeed his little angel, though this angel’s wings seemed a bit... drafty.
Meanwhile, almost all the officers received lunchboxes, fruits, or other treats from their parents, girlfriends, or wives.
"You silly kid, why didn’t you say anything when you were feeling wronged? Last night, when I scolded you, you didn’t even explain yourself. If it weren’t for Aunt Liu next door telling me you were in the news, I wouldn’t have known what you were busy with."
"Sweetheart, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have lashed out at you yesterday. I thought you stood me up on purpose because you didn’t want to spend time with me. I was wrong."
"Honey, I misunderstood you yesterday. From now on, I won’t complain about your work anymore. I’ve decided—you focus on your job, and I’ll be your supportive partner!"
"..."
Xu Mo sat in his office, watching everything unfold outside.
All the other officers had visitors—except him.
Wang Dachuan noticed this too, and an inexplicable sense of satisfaction washed over him. He felt like he had finally surpassed Xu Mo in at least one aspect.
Xu Mo didn’t have a girlfriend coming to visit him, but he did! His girlfriend had even come to apologize for misunderstanding him the night before, bringing along his favorite peaches.
As he ate the peaches his girlfriend had washed for him, Wang Dachuan felt a sweet contentment.
However, his joy didn’t last long. Soon, he saw four women, whose looks and presence could rival celebrities, walk into the police station and head straight for Xu Mo.
"The crab dinner we missed last night—we’re making it up to you today... We specially ordered this king crab for you. The restaurant just finished preparing it, so we packed it up and brought it over. Dig in!"
"Here, open your mouth. I’ll feed you. Say 'ah'..."
"If you get tired of the crab, there’s also some fruit here—washed and cut. Have some to refresh your palate."
"..."
Wang Dachuan: "???"
So, I’m the clown here!
Xu Mo has a girlfriend—no, four girlfriends! And they’re all stunning, like goddesses!
Instantly, the peach in Wang Dachuan’s mouth lost its sweetness, tasting like cardboard.
As he stared at Xu Mo and the four women surrounding him, he suddenly felt a chilling sense of danger, his spine tingling.
The next second, his ear was yanked upward.
"Enjoying the view? You want four beauties waiting on you too, huh?"
"No, no! Ouch, that hurts..."
