"All right, the paperwork has been completed. Come pick up your ID card in five days." Officer Lei walked in and placed a document bag before Father Ming and his son. Looking at Ming Jing, he said sternly, "You're an adult now. Whatever you do, you need to think about the consequences."
"I'm very sorry!" Ming Jing said, bowing obediently. During the four years he had been missing, aside from his family, Officer Lei had cared the most. He was a truly responsible police officer devoted to serving the people.
"Go home!" Officer Lei waved his hand. "This matter is settled now. Our bureau has also sent a letter to the insurance company explaining the situation, but you'll still need to handle some specific matters yourselves."
"We understand. Um... Officer Lei, why don't we have a meal together? You've worked hard these past four years," Father Ming suggested.
"As long as you understand, Old Ming. Hurry up and take care of it! Besides, your family has finally reunited. Why would I join in the excitement? Go home!" Officer Lei smiled and waved his hand again.
Father Ming glanced at his son and sighed. "Once we're done with everything, please do us the honor of having a meal with us, Officer Lei. Our family is truly very grateful to you."
"We'll talk about it later!" Officer Lei laughed it off and turned to leave.
The father and son thanked the other police officers handling the case before leaving the station for home. Father Ming had once owned a Mercedes, but he had given up his business during the past four years while searching for his son. The car had long been sold for money, so the old man and the young man walked toward the subway station beneath the blazing sun.
