Chapter 68: Oh No, My Identity Is Exposed

Luo Tian’s mind buzzed.

“…May I ask what this is about?”

“It’s like this. A woman named Lin Lin came to the police station to report a case, saying you’ve gone missing and asking us to help locate you. Do you know Lin Lin?”

Lin Lin.

She called the police?

“…I don’t know her.”

“Then what is your relationship to Luo Tiantian?”

“I…”

Luo Tian felt both shocked and furious.

What right did Lin Lin have to report her missing?!

She had to come up with an excuse.

In earlier times, without birth certificates or household registration, many families secretly raised children without registering them, resulting in undocumented individuals.

Although rare, it was not unheard of.

She would say she was that second child.

Luo Tian spoke:

“I’m Luo Tiantian’s younger sister.”

There was a brief silence on the other end.

“Sister? According to Luo Tiantian’s records, he is an only child with no siblings.”

“It’s… that kind of situation. You know how it was back then—some families… My parents never registered me. My brother knew, but outsiders didn’t.”

“I’ve been raised by my grandparents since childhood.”

“Then bring your family documents and come to the police station. We need to verify the situation.”

“Lin Lin reported that Luo Tiantian is missing. We need to confirm whether he’s safe, and also check any proof of family relationship—photos, letters, anything like that. Bring them all.”

“I’ll meet you first and understand the situation.”

“Okay… I’ll come right away.”

Luo Tian hung up.

Her whole body trembled.

Lin Lin.

Have you really gone crazy?

“When did you report this?”

“Why did you call the police?”

“Is it because of that four hundred eighty thousand that you suddenly remembered me?”

Luo Tian wiped her tears fiercely and walked to the box.

She packed the letters, the bankbook, and the old photos of her grandparents into her bag.

She also gathered the identification documents left by her parents.

There was an old photo.

In it was a little boy, only a few years old.

That was Luo Tiantian as a child.

Beside him was a little girl with two braids.

She froze.

She had never seen this photo before.

Who was that little girl?

A relative’s child?

Or…

Herself?

Her heart jolted.

Forget it—this photo could serve as evidence.

Police station.

Luo Tian stood across the street, looking at the gray-white building.

Her heart pounded.

Stay calm, stay calm.

It’s fine.

She had not done anything wrong.

At most, that four hundred eighty thousand savings would make her the prime suspect.

But she had truly done nothing—no need to be afraid.

Luo Tian walked in slowly.

There were not many people in the lobby.

She approached the front desk.

“Hello, I’m here to see Officer Wang.”

The officer on duty looked up at her. “And you are?”

“I’m a family member of Luo Tiantian. He called me earlier.”

“Have a seat first. I’ll go get him.”

Luo Tian sat down, clutching her bag tightly.

Her palms were full of sweat.

After a few minutes,

A middle-aged man in uniform walked over.

“You’re Luo Tiantian’s sister?”

Luo Tian stood up. “Yes, that’s me.”

Officer Wang looked her up and down.

“You look… a bit too pretty, don’t you?”

“Come with me.”

Inside the office.

“Did you bring your documents?”

Luo Tian opened her bag and took out the letters, bankbook, and photos one by one.

“These… were left by my grandparents.”

“This is the bankbook, this is the password, and here is my brother’s ID.”

“And copies of my grandparents’ and parents’ IDs.”

Officer Wang took them and examined each item carefully.

He also looked at the photos.

“Where is your brother now?”

“He… he went out of town for medical treatment.”

“What illness?”

“A very serious one. He didn’t want too many people to know, so he went alone.”

“He didn’t take his phone?”

“He left it with me.”

Officer Wang frowned slightly.

“When did he leave?”

“A few days ago.”

“Where did he go?”

“I… I don’t know. He didn’t say.”

“Then why didn’t you report it?”

“I also suspected he might be missing… but I don’t have an ID, so I didn’t dare report it.”

Officer Wang stared at her for a few seconds.

“What’s your name?”

“Luoluo.”

“Full name?”

“I don’t have one. I’ve never had a registered identity. Everyone just calls me Luoluo.”

“How old are you?”

“Nineteen.”

“Have you been to school?”

“No. My brother taught me how to read.”

Officer Wang fell silent for a moment.

“Your situation is quite special.”

“Without an ID, there are indeed many things you can’t do.”

“You can’t take flights, stay in hotels, open a bank account, enroll in social security, or even seek medical treatment conveniently.”

He took out a form from the drawer.

“In your case, you need to apply for a household registration.”

“You’ll need to provide materials such as a birth certificate, proof of family relationship, statements from neighbors, or certification from your village to prove you exist.”

“Once the materials are complete, you can apply.”

Luo Tian took the form, her hands trembling slightly.

“Thank you… thank you, Officer.”

“No need to thank me. It’s my duty.”

“If your brother shows up, contact me immediately.”

“This is my phone number.”

“Thank you.”

Luo Tian walked out of the police station.

She still felt a bit dazed.

Things… did not seem as difficult as she had imagined.

It was like a door that had always been closed was suddenly pushed open just a crack.

She held the form excitedly and spun in place.

“That’s great!”

“I can finally have an identity!!”

Suddenly—

A pair of hands reached out from behind and grabbed her shoulders, pulling her back.

“Who are you? Why are you here?”

Luo Tian trembled in fright.

Her arm hurt from the grip.

She was about to struggle, about to kick—

But then she met a pair of familiar eyes.

Those eyes made her forget to resist.

“King… King You?”
