Several burly men resembling bodyguards nervously looked around the car. 　　The ward door opened silently, and Yin Nan appeared at the door with Sha Wa, walking steadily towards the car. 　　Yin Nan watched her third brother, whose spirits had largely recovered, get into the car, then turned to the other side and got in as well. 　　The car immediately started moving smoothly. 　　The median window in the car had been rolled up. Sawa glanced at the driver, who was focused on driving, and 　　the burly bodyguard sitting beside him, and calmly said to Yin Nan, "I'm fine. You should have gone to the airport; you 　　didn't need to come pick me up." 　　Yin Nan sighed and said, "My sister-in-law insisted on coming back. I didn't expect it to be so soon; she was already 　　on the plane as soon as she received the news. She's probably afraid we'll try to persuade her again. I had Ke Lai pick her up at the airport; we 　　need to discuss some things beforehand. My sister-in-law isn't feeling well, so we need to avoid upsetting her." 　　Sawa nodded and asked with concern, "Have you arranged everything for your sister-in-law after she comes back? She's still wanted 　　by the police." 　　"Yes, I've arranged everything," Yin Nan replied calmly. " The arrest warrants for my elder brother and sister-in-law haven't been 　　cancelled yet. But the military government has already handed over power, so the validity of these warrants is actually ambiguous. 　　Besides, Ang Pan and the others are mainly concerned about my elder brother. I've personally negotiated with them. My sister-in-law's return this time 　　is entirely for Man Feng's sake. They are sisters, and from a humanitarian point of view, it wouldn't be right not to provide them with assistance. They 　　agreed that my sister-in-law will return to the country under the pretext of surrendering herself to the authorities. After getting off the plane, she can report to the police station, register, and then go home. 　　In addition, I've already instructed our newspaper to publish a news item to clarify the matter and prevent anyone with ulterior motives from making a fuss about it." 　　"Good, I'm relieved. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to explain this to my elder brother," Sha Wa breathed a sigh of relief. 　　Yin Nan paused for a moment, then continued, "There's no one at my brother's house right now. My sister-in-law's elderly father is still in the hospital 　　. We've kept Manfeng's situation a secret from him. So, I had Ke Lai bring my sister-in-law to your place 　　. With my third sister-in-law there, things will be easier." 　　Hearing Yin Nan's words, Sha Wa nodded with satisfaction, "Little sister, you're truly capable. You've arranged everything 　　so perfectly; otherwise, who knows what trouble might have arisen. I'm relieved to have you here." 　　Yin Nan smiled nonchalantly. Sha Wa suddenly turned to her and asked, "Is there any progress on Manfeng's situation?" 　　Yin Nan's expression immediately turned serious. She nodded gently and said, "The informant has given us a reply. They say Manfeng 　　refuses to come back, but has agreed to send the child back." 　　"What? Manfeng refuses to come back?" Sha Wa's lips twitched, and he frowned. 　　Yin Nan sighed and said cautiously, "This is what the middleman said. 　　It's been a year since she disappeared, and she's had a child with someone like Deng Min. 　　We can't even imagine what's happened in between. Besides, she's still under Deng Min's control; anything is possible." 　　Sha Wa rubbed his forehead and pinched his temples, saying helplessly, "Yes, anything is possible… Sigh, 　　when can we get the child back? What are their conditions?" 　　Yin Nan hesitated for a moment, then said sadly, "We can arrange the handover as soon as we agree. 　　They didn't mention any conditions for returning the child." 　　Hearing Yin Nan's words, Sha Wa's face also darkened. After a long while, he said, "Then 　　arrange it as soon as possible. Let's get the child back first. When you pick up the child, give them some money and ask them to treat Man 　　Feng well." 　　*************************************************************************** 　　A few days later, the atmosphere in the hall of Sha Wa's mansion was oppressive and tense. Sha Wa and his wife, Yin Nan and her husband, 　　Yao Pa and her husband Wen Sha were all present, but at the center of their gathering was Song Tao's wife, Man Feng's sister, Man Lai. Man 　　Lai looked grief-stricken and uneasy. Several women present surrounded her, constantly trying to comfort her. 　　The sound of a car engine came from outside, and Man Lai hurriedly tried to get up, but was persuaded not to by the women. She sat 　　on the large sofa, her hands clenched tightly, twisting and turning, nervously staring at the heavy gate. 　　Yin Nan hurried to the door and saw a Cadillac armored car with its windows completely covered, already turned off 　　and parked at the gate. Several burly men who had been patrolling the yard stood silently in a circle, vigilantly watching 　　the surroundings. 　　The car door opened, and Brother Biao got out first. He looked around, and only after the outer gate was closed tightly 　　did he go forward and open the back door, from which Ke Lai emerged. He exchanged a glance with Yin Nan, 　　who stepped forward, reached into the car, and took out a swaddled baby. She then turned and walked into the house. A 　　woman in her forties also got out of the car, carrying a swaddled baby, and followed closely behind Yin Nan, quickly entering 　　the hall. 　　After following them into the hall, Ke Lai turned around and closed the door tightly. Brother Biao remained outside. He stood with his 　　hands behind his back, facing outwards, like a guardian deity. 　　As soon as the door closed, low sobs immediately filled the hall. But no one sitting on the sofa moved; they all 　　watched intently as Yin Nan and the woman carefully placed the babies into 　　two large, comfortable rattan cradles that had been prepared in the center of the hall. Both babies slept soundly, their beautiful 　　nostrils gently fluttering on their fair faces, looking quite adorable. 　　The room was filled with suppressed sobs. "Manfeng!" Someone sobbed softly. It was Manlai, 　　her face streaked with tears. She wiped away the tears streaming down her face and shakily stood up 　　, walking towards the cradle. Her movement drew everyone else in the hall to the cradle. 　　Several women, their eyes red and constantly wiping away tears, tried their best to suppress them for the sake of the two sleeping children.

Overwhelmed with grief,
Manlai staggered to the cradle, gently stroking the baby's warm face, large tears
streaming down her face onto the swaddling clothes. She examined both babies carefully several times, seemingly still wanting more.
Reaching out, she untied one of the swaddling clothes, taking the baby's chubby little hand in her own. She herself
was already sobbing uncontrollably.
Yinnan, who had been standing silently to the side, was probably the only woman in the room whose eyes weren't clouded by tears.
Watching Manlai's actions, her eyes suddenly lit up. She carefully removed the baby's other little hand from the swaddling clothes
. On the baby's delicate wrist was a striking piece of white silk, tied in
a very unique way, like a beautiful lily blooming on the child's wrist. Faint,
unidentified marks could be seen on the silk.
Upon seeing this, Manlai immediately burst into tears, unable to breathe. Seeing this, Mrs. Savar quickly patted her
back gently. After a moment, she caught her breath and began to sob.
Yin Nan carefully untied the silk handkerchief from the child's wrist and
peeked at the baby's legs from under the swaddling clothes. It was a boy. Yin Nan unfolded the silk handkerchief and quickly scanned the baby, her eyes filling
with tears. She forced herself not to cry out, covered her mouth, and handed the silk handkerchief to Manlai beside her.
Manlai, who was sobbing uncontrollably, took the silk handkerchief from Yin Nan, wiped away her tears, and unfolded it
. After a brief silence, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears again.
Yin Nan and Mrs. Savar quickly helped Manlai up. Savar stepped forward, took the silk handkerchief from Manlai
, and as soon as it was unfolded, everyone crowded around. All eyes were fixed on the small silk handkerchief,
on which were neatly written several lines in pen:
"Don't look for me anymore. Just pretend I'm dead. The two children are my own flesh and blood. The older brother's nickname is Amao, and
the younger sister's nickname is Alan. Let them come home; consider it atonement for my sins as an unfilial daughter. When they grow up and
understand, please don't let them know who their biological mother is. Just pretend I never gave birth to them. Please,
please! Feng."
Next to the signature was a blood-red fingerprint, a horrifying sight.
Seeing Manfeng's handwritten letter after being missing for over a year, everyone in the hall was overcome with grief, especially the women who couldn't hold
back their sobs. The overwhelming cries woke the two children, and with a
loud waar, both babies cried out simultaneously. In an instant, the hall was filled with weeping, the somber atmosphere reaching its peak.
Seeing this, Shawa quickly gave Yinnan a look. Yinnan helped Manlai back to the sofa to sit down again. Two
wet nurses, who had been waiting in the back, tiptoed to the cradle, picked up the two babies, and
carried them to the nursery prepared for them, soothing them as they went.
Manlai sat on the sofa, holding the silk handkerchief, looking at it repeatedly, wiping away tears.
The other women also wept with her, and for a moment, no one spoke.
After a long silence, Shawa spoke first: "Sister-in-law, do you think the handwriting on this is really Manfeng's
?"
Manlai wiped away her tears, looked at it carefully several more times, and nodded firmly, saying, "Yes, it is definitely Manfeng
's handwriting. And the way this silk handkerchief was tied, I figured it out myself when we were in school; she begged
me to teach her. No one but my sister and I would tie it like that. This thing must have been made by Manfeng
." After saying this, Manlai couldn't help but sob again.
Sawa took the silk handkerchief from Manlai's hand, carefully folded it, and handed it to Yinnan, saying, "Find out
any writing that Manfeng left behind, and have Mr. Shawen help with a handwriting comparison to confirm it. Also, I think the fingerprint below
looks like a bloodstain, so check that too. Oh, by the way, have they found Manfeng's blood sample yet?"
Yinnan nodded and said, "Found it. The police station has archives of the officers' biological samples.
I've managed to get Manfeng's archived blood sample, hair sample, and skin tissue sample."
"Hmm..." Sawa nodded in satisfaction, "Compare this bloody fingerprint with Manfeng's blood sample,
and also the fingerprints. The police station should have those on file too, right?"
"Definitely. I'll get on it right away." Yinnan nodded.
Sawa glanced subconsciously at Manlai, who was still sitting on the sofa, sobbing uncontrollably. He took two steps to the side and
lowered his voice to Yinnan, saying, "Take samples from both children and compare them with Manfeng's sample
. We must be 100% certain of the children's identities."
Seeing Yinnan nod silently, Sawa took a deep breath and said, "Go find Inspector Chatchai. He should be
back by now. Ask him to help you see if you can find the biological sample of that drug lord, Dengmin. Interpol and
the UN Office on Drugs and Crime have been tracking him for years. I heard he was imprisoned in his early years. They might
have his sample. If we can find it, that would be best. We must know the whole story of the two children's origins."
Yinnan looked at Sawa's serious face and nodded solemnly.
While Sawa was assigning tasks to Yinnan, the other women were already sobbing uncontrollably, especially Manlai and
Mrs. Sawa, who sat together, embracing and weeping. Manlai cried and whispered Manfeng's name. Mrs. Savar
had come to comfort Manlai, but as she tried to comfort her, she herself began to weep.
Her own grief was stirred, and she murmured, "Chu Yun, my poor child, where are you
... my grandson... sob sob..."
Seeing his mother weeping so bitterly, even more heartbroken than his aunt, Kelai quickly came to comfort her. Yaopa and the others also
gathered around, offering kind words of comfort. It was only with great difficulty that they managed to calm both of them down. Manlai had almost cried her eyes out.
Looking at her sister-in-law beside her, she nearly fainted from crying, collapsing into Kelai's arms, panting heavily. Suddenly remembering
something, she grabbed Kelai's hand, her eyes red with tears, and asked urgently, "Is there any news of Chu Yun? How is the child?"
Upon hearing Manlai's question, Mrs. Savar burst into tears again. Seeing this, Shava quickly came over, comforted
his wife, and turned to everyone, saying, "Don't worry, everyone, Chu Yun will be home soon."
"Oh..." Hearing Shava's words, everyone crowded around, looking at him expectantly.
Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, then at Yin Nan, he let out a long breath and said, "These are all family here.
What we discussed today must be kept strictly confidential. Not a single word can be leaked to outsiders." He nodded to Yin Nan.
Yin Nan hesitated for a moment, then said to everyone, "Of the three conditions the kidnappers proposed, the first one, the Aung Pan government, has already
fulfilled. All the troops and government service agencies in the northern mountains have withdrawn. The third condition, the ransom,
is already prepared. That's not a problem. Only the second condition, Meng Chong's release, hasn't been fulfilled yet
, but it will be done soon.
Meng Chong's bail is already on the Supreme Court justices' desks, and all the conditions for bail
have been met. It's expected that the Supreme Court's joint meeting will approve the document next week. According to our understanding
, at least five of the seven justices have clearly indicated they will vote to approve the document. Therefore, this last
condition will also be met soon."
"How is Chu Yun now?" Man Lai asked with concern, sobbing.
Klai took the call and replied, "We've maintained contact with the kidnappers. They've repeatedly assured us that
Chu Yun and the child are safe. They'll release Chu Yun if we meet their conditions."
Hearing this, everyone present breathed a slight sigh of relief. But Mrs. Savar still asked worriedly, "
What if the kidnappers try something funny?"
Savar looked at Yin Nan and nodded to her. Yin Nan said seriously, "This is a key issue we're focusing on.
We've paid such a high price; we must ensure Chu Yun and the child return home safely. Our trump card is
Meng Chong."
Seeing everyone's suspicious looks, Yin Nan patiently explained, "Besides the ransom, Meng Chong
is actually the most important and crucial condition Long Kun proposed.
All the bail application procedures are under our control. Therefore, once bail is approved, the approval
document will also be in our hands. In other words, only our people can pick up Meng Chong from prison.
After we bring him out, we'll arrange for him to be exchanged with Chu Yun at a secret location. Meng Chong
was seriously injured during his capture. Although he survived, he was left with a disability—his right leg is severely crippled, making movement difficult
, and he needs crutches. Therefore, we're not afraid of him escaping. This ensures we maintain the initiative during the hostage exchange
."
"Oh, thank goodness, please bring my Chu Yun back! She's been pregnant for almost three months, she's suffered so much,
her baby must be showing by now!" After hearing Yin Nan and Ke Lai's explanation, Mrs. Shawa finally breathed a sigh of
relief and spoke her mind. The others present, including Man Lai, also felt a little more at ease.
