After Turning Around, I Exploded in the Legal Circle

Ten years in Huating have been turbulent, with behind-the-scenes capital always omnipresent. Beneath the calm surface, undercurrents always churn; lights flicker on and off, and human affairs ebb a...

Chapter 243 Evil Thoughts

"Bao Jianan!"

Qin Suisui looked down at the girl who was clinging tightly to the hem of her clothes.

"What happened?"

She reached out and smoothed the girl's messy hair, then looked up at Hong Chang.

"Qin Lu, shall we find a place to sit down and talk this over?"

Hong Chang looked exhausted; he hadn't rested for two days in order to bring Bao Jianan back.

Qin Suisui nodded and said softly, "Okay."

Hong Chang was in very poor condition; you could tell from his complexion that he hadn't had a good rest in the past few days.

Her ashen complexion, heavy dark circles under her eyes, and wrinkles in her clothes all told her that she had been traveling a long and arduous journey.

"Get in my car, and we'll find a quiet place to talk."

Qin Suisui could sense that Bao Jianan, who was right next to her, must have been frightened.

She frowned, looking down at the little girl's thin face, which was filled with fear and unease.

She thought back to when Hong Chang talked about the blood test at Qiyang Town Hospital and the procedures for adopting the little girl before she went abroad, and sighed to herself.

The influence of one's family of origin on their destiny can be devastating.

Qin Suisui drove to a quiet private kitchen and asked for a small private room for Hong Chang and Bao Jianan.

"Is Jia Nan hungry?"

Upon entering the small private room and seeing the tightly closed door, Bao Jianan lowered her guard and relaxed considerably.

"Sister Qin, I'm not hungry!"

She swallowed hard, shook her head, and quietly touched her stomach with her right hand.

Qin Suisui noticed her little action, and with a slight smile, she picked up her phone and started scanning the QR code.

She ordered some dishes that girls like to eat.

After confirming the order and uploading it, she put down her phone and looked at Hong Chang across from her.

"Director Hong, please explain the whole story first."

Hong Chang glanced at Bao Jianan, pursed his lips, sighed, and a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

“Law Qin, as you know, this girl came to me last month to talk about the adoption by that family in the north of the city. At that time, you told me to keep an eye on her.”

"I was skeptical at the time, but in the following days, the old woman from the Bao family didn't cause any trouble, so I didn't pay much attention to it and went back to Huating."

“A few days ago, my elderly parents went to the peanut field to pick peanuts without telling me. My father accidentally twisted his back. The day before yesterday afternoon, I booked the earliest flight back home. As soon as I got home, this girl came to my door.”

At that time, the girl was thin and dirty.

His mother washed her, changing the water countless times, before she finally got her clean.

He slightly raised his chin and looked at Bao Jianan opposite him.

"Girl, you can tell your sister Qin what happened next yourself!"

Upon hearing Hong Chang mention her, Bao Jianan quickly glanced at Qin Suisui beside her.

She nervously wrung the hem of her clothes, bit her lip, and glanced at Hong Chang across from her.

"Speak up!"

Hong Chang grew anxious when he saw that Bao Jianan remained silent for a long time.

"On the way here, didn't you keep saying you wanted to tell Sister Qin? Why are you silent now?"

"No, I just don't know~" I don't know how to begin.

Bao Jianan's eyes were red, and she stammered for a long time without being able to speak. She was so anxious that sweat was pouring down her forehead.

"fine!"

Qin Suisui reached out and squeezed her hand, comforting her, "Jianan, we're not in a hurry, let's think about it slowly and talk about it slowly."

Reassured by Qin Suisui, Bao Jianan's tense emotions gradually calmed down.

She spoke through sobs.

"Sister Qin, Grandma wants me to go to the North City with two strange uncles, so I ran away!"

Her eyes were red and swollen. She glanced at Sister Qin, who was frowning, and then continued.

“I will not go to Beicheng with them. I heard what they said to my grandma and dad. They want to buy my kidney.”

"What?"

Qin Suisui raised her voice, then lowered it again.

"Jianan, are you sure you heard me clearly?"

Jia Nan is still a child. Buying a kidney? No wonder Hong Chang said last time that the other party wanted to adopt Jia Nan. They really have a good plan.

"Sister Qin, they're not joking!"

Sister Qin's doubts caused Bao Jianan's emotions to break down instantly, and her big eyes filled with tears.

She reached out and wiped away the tears that had fallen on her cheeks with the back of her hand.

“I saw it. I saw them give money to Dad, but Grandma snatched it all away.”

"Sister Qin, I asked my teacher, and she said that a normal person must have two kidneys. If someone only has one, they are not a normal person."

Bao Jianan's voice choked with emotion; the emotions she had been holding back for days finally broke down at this moment.

She shook her head vigorously: "I want to be a normal person. I still have to take care of my mother and my little brother. My grandma is not nice to my little brother at all."

Bao Jianan's broken and sorrowful voice made Qin Suisui's nose tingle.

She picked up a tissue from the table and bent down to gently wipe Bao Jianan's face.

“Jianan, don’t worry. Their actions are illegal. No one can take anything from you against your will.”

"But Grandma said that since I'm a girl and don't need to do any physical labor, selling a kidney would be a good way to help my uncle get married."

Bao Jianan wiped away her tears haphazardly with the back of her hand.

"Jianan, don't cry. Let me ask Uncle Hong a few questions, okay?"

The little girl cried bitterly, and her words were fragmented and incoherent; I only vaguely understood what had happened.

She looked at Hong Chang.

"Did you investigate afterwards? Did you confirm that Qiyang Town Hospital was the one that led the operation?"

If so, she would definitely make sure the other party spends the rest of their life in jail.

Hong Chang frowned, his face full of indignation.

"I conducted an investigation that day, and it was indeed Qiyang Town Hospital that took the lead."

Seeing Bao Jianan still sobbing, I couldn't help but speak up.

"Little girl, don't cry! I need to talk to your sister Qin about something."

"Um!"

Knowing the gravity of the situation, Bao Jianan suppressed her emotions and looked at the two of them through teary eyes.
