Bai Heng naturally agreed: "Do you want to mail that letter to your grandparents or should we have it delivered?"
Sui Yan scratched her head a bit shyly: "Mailing it is fine."
The military doctor nodded: "Alright, then you should rest well, and we'll go to your dad's place in the evening to get your stuff."
Sui Yan smiled timidly: "Thank you."
Bai Heng and the military doctor were usually quite busy and often not at home. There were only Sui Yan and Ti Zi at home, so these two... watched TV without any restraint.
Sui Yan watched the TV program, but her thoughts unconsciously wandered far away.
Ti Zi was just accompanying Sui Yan watching, and it gently pawed at Sui Yan: "Meow?"
What's wrong, Yan Yan?
Sui Yan held Ti Zi's paw, feeling the soft pads: "Ti Zi, I had anonymously sent a few medicinal recipes to the research institute's email before. A few were left behind by my mom, and a few were ones I secretly created myself."
Ti Zi tilted its head: "Meow woo!"
Yan Yan is amazing!
Sui Yan cupped her face as she sat on the floor, looking at her leg still bandaged: "Ti Zi, if there's a next time, you must not follow me again. Following me is no good, and it just made you suffer so much."
Ti Zi inched closer to Sui Yan: "Meow woo meow woo~"
Yan Yan, if there's a next time, I'll definitely become very powerful, so I won't let you feel so bad again.
Sui Yan yawned and leaned against Ti Zi as she fell asleep.
Seeing Sui Yan gradually recover, Bai Heng and the military doctor felt reassured and began to continue with their own tasks.
The military doctor sat in the passenger seat and suddenly said as they passed a fried chicken shop: "Bai Heng, stop for a bit."
Bai Heng frowned: "What for?"
The military doctor pointed outside: "Look at that fried chicken shop, there are many kids eating inside. Let's buy some for Little Yan too."
Bai Heng raised an eyebrow: "Okay."
His slender fingers lightly tapped the steering wheel as he waited for the military doctor to buy the food and come back.
It took quite a while before the military doctor returned with a large pile of things. Bai Heng frowned: "Little Yan has a small appetite, she can't eat all of this."
The military doctor waved dismissively: "It's fine, I didn't know what she likes to eat, so I bought everything. If she can't finish it, we'll help her eat the rest."
Bai Heng smiled and didn't say anything more.
It was the military doctor who fell silent for a while before starting to mutter: "The people at the research institute are really something, the person who sent that email was anonymous, how are we supposed to find them?"
Bai Heng gripped the steering wheel with one hand and took a sip of water with the other: "At least we've narrowed it down to this city, we've reduced the scope a lot already, we'll find them eventually."
The military doctor sighed: "If it weren't for this person being able to make a great contribution to the country, I really wouldn't have the patience for this."
Bai Heng didn't refute his words, because looking at those two brothers of his, he roughly knew that geniuses always come with their quirks.
As soon as they got home, the military doctor put aside this troublesome matter. He carried in a large pile of bags and shouted as he entered: "Little one! Come out and eat something good!"
Sui Yan opened her eyes groggily, waving her hand: "I'm here!"
Bai Heng helped Sui Yan up: "Why were you sleeping on the floor? Be careful of catching a cold!"
The military doctor squeezed past him: "Are you being annoying or what? Can't you speak with a better tone to the little one? Do you think this is one of those thick-skinned soldiers under your command?"
Bai Heng admitted his fault, rubbing his nose and falling silent.
Sui Yan hopped to the side on one foot, saying weakly: "Don't fight."
The military doctor helped her to the sofa: "We're not fighting, look at all the delicious food we bought for you?"
Sui Yan sniffed and smiled faintly: "Thank you."
The military doctor sighed: "Bai Heng, now I finally understand why our moms wanted to have a daughter so badly, if it were me, I'd want one too."
Bai Heng nodded deeply: "Yes."
The little girl was just too well-behaved and polite. The only downside was that she always felt like she would trouble others.
But that wasn't her fault, it only made people feel more sorry for her.
The military doctor and Bai Heng quickly laid out the large pile of fried chicken, soda, and everything else, then sat opposite Sui Yan with their eyes shining as they watched her eat.
Feeding the little girl was really delightful!
This wasn't Sui Yan's first time eating fried chicken, but it was the first time someone had specifically bought fried chicken for her.
She rubbed her eyes and obediently ate the food in front of her in small bites.
Bai Heng just watched Sui Yan eat, occasionally pushing the varieties she hadn't tried in front of her so she could try different ones.
The military doctor paid attention to the kinds Sui Yan liked best, and whenever he saw her eat more of a particular fried chicken, he made a mental note to buy more of that kind for her next time.
These two rough men once again experienced the joy of raising a daughter.
While eating, Sui Yan would also put the food she liked on Ti Zi's plate, sharing it with him.
The atmosphere was harmonious, but the military doctor sighed as he thought of their task.
Sui Yan looked up blankly: "What's wrong with you?"
The military doctor opened a bottle of yogurt for the little girl: "Nothing, you keep eating."
Sui Yan nodded obediently and tilted her head back to drink a large gulp of yogurt.
Bai Heng was about to speak when his phone suddenly rang.
He opened his phone without much thought, but the next second, he froze.
The military doctor kicked him: "What's the message?"
Sui Yan also looked up blankly at the two of them.
Bai Heng put down his phone: "It's nothing, just quite a coincidence. The IP address of the person who sent that email has been traced to Xiao Yan's dad's neighborhood."
The military doctor snatched Bai Heng's phone to look: "The research institute really took their time, how could they only send us this information now?"
Sui Yan felt like she had discovered something, biting her straw as she asked in a muffled voice: "What is it?"
Bai Heng hadn't planned to tell the little girl, but after thinking about it, he still asked her: "Little Yan, when you were living at your dad's place, did you see any strange uncles? Or strange aunties?"
Sui Yan: "...No, I don't think so."
Could it not be what she was thinking?
The military doctor looked exasperated: "Don't you know how to ask? Let me do it. Sui Yan, have you seen any strange people at your father's place? They could be strange in personality or appearance."
Sui Yan had already dismissed her previous thought, and shook her head: "No, I haven't."
The military doctor sighed: "Alright, I knew it! Whoever sent that important anonymous email wouldn't be so easily spotted by a kid."
Sui Yan: "......"
Could it be... that her earlier guess was right?
