8 – She is a Chengguan
Almost everyone believed Ye Yuntong was actually dead.
Until half a month ago, a police station in a small, obscure fishing village called Wuli Town by the seaside sent the Ye family a DNA report and a strand of hair, informing them that a missing child they had registered years ago had been found.
This was thanks to the relatively well-established missing child search system nowadays. With DNA comparisons, many children had been successfully reunited with their families.
Ye Yuntong had been found!
The entire Ye family was overjoyed. However, Wuli Town was extremely impoverished. It was said that there were no proper roads yet—cars had to be exchanged for ox carts at the county town, and from the county to the town, it required another half-hour on foot. There was only one unreliable green train that ran once every three days. This made Old Man Ye, who had originally intended to personally fetch her, abandon the idea and instead arranged for them to travel overnight to City A.
It was faster and more convenient.
Besides, she came from a poor rural area and probably wouldn’t mind taking a green train.
According to the information mailed earlier, Ye Yuntong was the captain of the second team of the Wuli Town Urban Management Administrative Law Enforcement Brigade—hardworking, diligent, and proactive…
In short, a city management officer.
Yes, Ye Yuntong was a city management officer and had even risen to the rank of a small team leader. She had been adopted by the Wuli Town orphanage since childhood. This was a relatively well-structured orphanage that provided education up to university level and even had the authority to award bachelor’s degrees to graduates. Of course, these diplomas were only recognized within Wuli Town.
It was a somewhat peculiar county-level city, but the Ye family didn’t pay much attention to it. After all, some coastal county-level cities might receive special policy support, specifically cultivating outstanding local graduates to stay and contribute to their hometowns.
Moreover, Ye Yuntong had graduated with excellent grades and was assigned to work in the town’s urban management brigade after graduation. It was said that her work performance was also quite impressive.
Everyone in her jurisdiction knew her name.
It was unclear what mindset the Wuli Town police station had when sending away such an outstanding cadre. When she left, countless people gathered at the station to see her off, setting off firecrackers in celebration.
The above was the life resume of Ye Yuntong that the Ye family had received.
Looking at this bizarre resume, they felt a mix of joy and worry. The good news was that the Ye family’s precious little granddaughter had been found. The worry was that she seemed to have taken an unconventional path.
Growing up in an orphanage was one thing, but she had ended up becoming… a city management officer…
A city management officer!
This would undoubtedly become a topic of conversation in high society.
Old Man Ye sealed off this resume information. Apart from the family, no one knew about Ye Yuntong’s past, which also made her appear somewhat mysterious.
The legendary Miss Ye was finally about to make her entrance.
As the car came to a stop, the first thing to emerge was a leg clad in black work pants, followed by a white T-shirt—an outfit that screamed “city management officer.”
However, when a petite face with delicate features appeared from the car, everyone was stunned.
Her gently arched eyebrows, slightly upturned eyes, and perfectly shaped nose and lips gave her a fair, clean, and spirited appearance.
She looked exactly like the photo they had received, yet for some reason, it was hard to connect the photo to the person standing before them.
It was a strange feeling. Old Man Ye thought it must be because Ye Yuntong wasn’t photogenic.
“Are you Tongtong?” A well-maintained middle-aged woman warmly approached her. “I’m your Aunt Jing, Yingying’s mother. You’re so pretty, but you don’t seem to resemble Zhongshan. You must take after your mother, right?”
What did she mean by that?
Saying Ye Yuntong doesn’t resemble her father? Suspecting she isn’t a child of the Ye family?
Is it a case of impersonation, or was she never biologically related in the first place, and then casually throwing in some disrespect toward Ye Yuntong’s mother?
Starting off with a show of force right from the beginning?
