Shen Jiayue thought she must have put it in the wrong place.
She searched again.
Still no sign of the Chicken Feet.
Instead, she found a pile of chicken bones in the trash can in her room.
This...
Thinking back to when her mom came to her room for a face mask not long ago, Shen Jiayue had reason to believe that this was a heinous case of internal family theft!
She couldn't believe it.
The chief of gastroenterology, who lectured her every day about not eating late at night, had actually sneaked away to nibble on the Chicken Feet she had stashed away.
She immediately sent her mom a message: "Director Han, something's missing from my room. I don't know where it went," she typed, adding three smiling emojis.
Less than a minute later, her mom replied: "I'm going to rest now. Talk to your dad if you need anything."
My dad? Was he involved in this theft too?
Shen Jiayue thought it over.
Her father, Old Shen, indeed had a prior record in this area.
