The femboy with auburn hair was taken to the police station by Mr. He for further questioning and investigation.
After this unexpected incident, Yu Suye lost all interest in shopping for clothes and rode shared bikes back with Yan Feifan.
At 9:50 PM, the two of them parked their shared bikes outside Zuimo Court and walked into the residential complex.
As soon as they entered the complex, Yu Suye couldn’t help but say, "Feifan, although he looked a little strange, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with him."
"Did you notice something?"
Yan Feifan prompted her, "Su Ye, did you notice? The child in the photo..." Yu Suye carefully recalled the details of the photo, then nodded. "Now that you mention it, there really is a faint swelling on each side."
"Feifan, what do you think that is?"
Yan Feifan said softly, "There’s a high probability—" "Ah, she’s a little boy, too?" Yu Suye exclaimed in surprise.
Yan Feifan sighed softly. "I hope I’m wrong, too."
"However, it’s also possible..." Yan Feifan continued his analysis. "Because of a congenital deformity, the boy lacks typical male organ characteristics."
"And he also has severe hypospadias, which led doctors and his family to mistake him for a girl at birth."
Yu Suye recalled the child’s photo again, processing Yan Feifan’s diagnosis. "Feifan, I really hope you’re wrong, or that the child’s chromosome test shows she’s a girl."
She said sympathetically, "From the photo, she looks four or five years old. She’s already formed a clear sense of her own gender identity."
"If her gender is suddenly changed to male at this point, it’s hard to say how that will affect their future."
"Will they end up becoming a femboy, too?"
Yan Feifan said softly, "As long as they don’t become a sociopath who’s a danger to others and society, it should be fine."
"Besides, gender confirmation surgery is quite advanced these days."
Yu Suye shot him a look and said, "Feifan, you make it sound so easy. Never mind the high cost of the surgery, after the operation, they’d have to take hormones for the rest of their life."
"The toll it takes on their body and lifespan is huge..."
Just then, Yu Suye’s phone rang.
She took it out and saw it was a call from her brother.
After exchanging a few words with her brother and hanging up, Yu Suye sighed softly and said, "Feifan, my brother sold the two ginseng roots. But he didn’t sell them to our Yu Family’s clinic; he sold them to an outsider."
Yan Feifan just said, "Oh," and listened as Yu Suye continued, "The clinic offered 70,000 for one and 90,000 for the other."
"My brother said that offer was a clear lowball."
"He’d previously had an elder in the family appraise them, and both the quality and age of the ginseng were excellent. They should have been worth at least 200,000."
"The clinic was only willing to offer 160,000. They were clearly lowballing him."
Yu Suye added indignantly, "So my brother contacted the friend who had asked him to find the ginseng in the first place."
"And that person just bought them for 350,000."
Yan Feifan was a little puzzled. "The price of ginseng fluctuates that much?"
Yu Suye explained softly, "For wild mountain ginseng of this age and quality, each root is priced individually. In other words, the price is negotiable."
"To someone who doesn’t need it, even 10,000 is expensive."
"But to someone who does, a million could be a bargain."
"After all, it’s rare, and our people hold it in very high regard. My brother said his friend’s elderly family member needs high-quality wild ginseng to maintain their health."
After a pause, Yu Suye said in a sullen voice, "Feifan, this whole incident has also exposed a problem."
"The Yu Family’s clinic has always had a great reputation."
"But now they’re lowballing on this ginseng, and to their own family, no less. This is clearly targeted at my brother and me."
"Sigh..."
Yan Feifan took Yu Suye’s hand and comforted her, "You didn’t do anything wrong. Nobody wanted what happened to happen."
"If they’re holding a grudge, that just shows how narrow-minded they are. Try not to let it get to you."
Yu Suye hummed in agreement. "I’m here in Binhai, so I’m not afraid of anything they can do."
"It’s just my brother..."
Yu Suye sighed again. "I hope he makes a decision soon and strikes out on his own..."
As they spoke, they reached Building 9 and took the elevator to the seventh floor.
Yan Ziruo and Tian Yu had gone to Phoenix Tail Mountain, so they definitely wouldn’t be back tonight.
Du Qiu had also gone home.
The spacious apartment had now become a world for just Yan Feifan and Yu Suye.
In the master bathroom, Yu Suye washed herself clean until she was fragrant all over, then changed into a sexy, alluring nightie.
She hurried back to the loft and struck several seductive poses on the bed, finally settling on the one she felt was the most smoldering.
But her back and arms grew sore from holding the pose, and still she heard no footsteps entering the loft.
’This is infuriating! Would it kill him to make the first move for once?’
