Gu Lingxiao finally understood that this woman just wanted to make money off the child; she was a complete scoundrel!

He had no idea how she had managed these past few years, but he looked down on people like her from the bottom of his heart.

I'll say it again, I don't know where he is!

"I'll kneel down for you, okay?!" Zhang Xuelian immediately knelt down. "I just want to see him, I really don't want to do anything?"

Gu Lingxiao didn't help the person up, but turned around and walked back. There was no point in arguing with someone like that.

Now that he's at the military base, he can't say anything too harsh, lest something happen and he get himself into trouble.

Seeing that the person had left, Zhang Xuelian quickly ran after them.

"Captain Gu, you can't abandon me! I'm starving!"

He ran and shouted these few words. Just as he was about to catch up, he quickened his pace a few steps and then went inside.

Then the soldier used his hand to block her outside.

"Comrade, this is a military area. Please do not trespass!"

"I'm looking for him!" Zhang Xuelian said anxiously.

"The captain has already spoken to you. Your matter has been resolved. You cannot go in without the leader's approval!" the young soldier said righteously. "If you trespass, I have the right to detain you!"

"Okay, I'm leaving!" Zhang Xuelian didn't want to go in, but she didn't plan to leave. Since Gu Lingxiao was giving her the cold shoulder, she would find a higher-ups to resolve the issue.

She refused to believe that a child could simply vanish into thin air.

That family must give her money; she can't let them raise her son for nothing!

In order to survive, she had to get this money!

As long as that family is willing to raise the child, they have to keep giving her money—

Otherwise, she could tell the children the truth, and then the children wouldn't be close to them anymore...

——

Gu Lingxiao had someone check the entrance and learned that the woman hadn't left; if he wanted to go out, he would have to use the side door.

I have a lot to take care of today, so I'll just stay home and do it tomorrow!

——

Lu Zhixia arrived at the hospital's security office but didn't see Hu Youli. Just then, a tall man was about to leave, so she asked him...

"Excuse me, Comrade Hu, is Hu Youli at work today?"

"He's on the night shift today!"

Lu Zhixia thought to herself that her timing was really bad, so she continued to ask,

"When does the night shift start?"

He said impatiently, "It's 6 p.m., he should be sleeping at home right now! You'll have to wait for me if you need anything! I have other things to do!"

Seeing that the person left in a hurry, Lu Zhixia guessed that he really had something to do, so she took the child's hand and went downstairs.

After Lin Yueru finished her rounds, she saw the woman she had argued with last time and walked over triumphantly. It was obvious that the woman had brought her child to the hospital for treatment. Now she could finally get her revenge.

Lu Zhixia watched as this person walked up to her, looking at her with a half-smile, his face practically screaming "I don't know what I'm talking about!"

I'm here just to see you make a fool of yourself!

"Where are you taking the child?! I'm all alone here today. If you want to take the child to see a doctor, you need to apologize to me!"

She held her head high with pride, certain the woman would apologize.

She has encountered mothers kneeling down for their children several times.

"Are you toxic?!" Lu Zhixia retorted.

"What's wrong with you? I'm giving you a way out, why won't you take it!"

Lin Yueru was already upset about work, and now her temper flared up even more! So she reached out and blocked her way, "You must apologize for what happened that day!"

Lu Zhixia flung her hand away, "If you're not feeling well, go to the department and get yourself checked out first!"

"How dare you push me!" Lin Yueru threw down what she was holding and reached out to grab the other person's hair.

Lu Zhixia reacted quickly, swinging her right hand to knock her hand away.

"What, you want to fight me?"

Lin Yueru was really angry, and seeing that there were onlookers, she immediately spoke up.

"I've said so much to you, all I wanted was an apology from you, why can't you just say it!"

Lu Zhixia didn't mince words and said directly, "I did nothing wrong, why are you apologizing? If you're mentally ill, go get it treated!"

A woman in the crowd blurted out, "How dare you talk to Dr. Lin like that!"

“It’s because Dr. Lin is such a good person that this person must have said something wrong, otherwise how could they have made Dr. Lin so angry?” another woman chimed in.

“That’s what I think too. A person can’t be too kind; if they’re too kind, they’ll get bullied.” The woman looked at Dr. Lin and said, “If all else fails, we should report it to the police!”

Lin Yueru couldn't possibly report the case; it was just a pointless argument, and she had no grounds for complaint.

Besides, if things escalate, it will also affect her personally, so she spoke with the two parents.

"There's no need to report it. I'm not one to hold grudges. Let her go!"

The woman then added, "You can't do that. If you let this person get away with it, she'll bully others in the future."

Lu Zhixia looked at them with amusement. "Go ahead and report it! I didn't do anything wrong. Don't think you're right just because you outnumber me!"

Lin Yueru: "Didn't I already say? I won't report it to the police. You just need to apologize to me!"

Lu Zhixia thought the woman was mentally ill; she was the type who wouldn't back down even when she was in the wrong.

"Don't even think about it! I'll fight you to the bitter end if you report me to the police!"

Lin Yueru was so angry that her chest ached. Her hand involuntarily touched her chest, and her other hand began to tremble. Suddenly, she realized that if she pretended to faint, the woman would not be able to escape responsibility.

She'll make her apologize if she doesn't!
