Something wasn't right...
"Grandma hasn't forgotten Big Brother?"
Officer Li was very surprised.
Given the condition of these two children's grandmother...
The old woman couldn't even remember her own grandchildren, let alone a stranger she'd barely met.
No matter how he looked at it, this didn't make sense.
Huh?
The two children looked at each other.
Then they turned to Officer Li, their faces full of confusion.

Officer Li figured the most likely explanation was that the old woman had suddenly thought of something on her way home last night...
And said she wanted to see Student Xiao.
Maybe to thank him?
Other than that, he couldn't think of a reason the old woman would
