“He was hired by the school to clean the bathhouse. He was divorced and raised his son alone. The school took pity on him and kept him on.”

Tell me his work hours.

Ye Zhaozhao felt that she couldn't let any suspicious person go. The man smiled and assured Ye Zhaozhao and the others.

"Old Kong would never do that. He's the most honest man. He wouldn't do such a thing."

Ye Zhaozhao then asked several people who knew Lao Kong, and they all gave the same answer.

Having a good impression of Lao Kong, Ye Zhaozhao and Liu Zhangyi went to ask him about it.

“I went home very early that day, and only found out about the incident the next day.”

Old Kong's answer was watertight, and Liu Zhangyi found Old Kong very suspicious.

After carefully examining him, I noticed that Old Kong was short and in his fifties.

"Who can help you provide an alibi?"

“My son and the neighbors both saw me come home early that day.”

After asking the questions, Ye Zhaozhao and Liu Zhangyi left, and the two of them talked about the children in the hospital.

Old Kong's hands unconsciously tightened, and Liu Zhangyi asked his colleagues to keep an eye on Old Kong.

Before they could make any progress, another incident occurred at the hospital. When Liu Zhangyi and Ye Zhaozhao arrived at the hospital, they saw the girl in great pain.

“I don’t want this child, and I will not agree to let you raise him.”

The woman opposite looked at her daughter and wanted to slap her twice. How could she be so confused?

"We didn't ask you to support us. You know your brother has been married for so long."

Since you don't have children yet, why don't you let your younger brother raise this child?

Fearing her daughter would disagree, the woman continued to persuade her.

"Give us the child, and you can continue your studies. We've gotten a child for free this time."

"We've made a profit, so let's not say anything more, it's settled."

Ye Zhaozhao heard this as soon as she entered the room. She finally understood why the girl was afraid to speak out about the harm she had suffered; it turned out she had such a family.

With no one to stand up for her, Ye Zhaozhao suddenly thought of something and left the ward to ask Liu Zhangyi to investigate.

What is the family's financial situation like that of the girl who chose to report the case?

The girl looked at her mother with disappointment. She had suffered such a great injustice, and her mother came not to ask a single question, but to snatch her child away.

"I will not agree."

The child is hers, and they can't raise her unless she agrees. The woman was thinking of asking her daughter if she had a mental problem.

"From the time I was old enough to understand, you've never cared about me, not even for my school fees."

"I earned all of this by cutting grass. Since I started school, have you ever cared for me even once?"

The girl was hysterical; she hated that person so much. She already had such a hard life, why did she have to suffer like this?

Another reason why the girl didn't want everyone to find out was that she cherished this opportunity to go to school.

Before the woman could say anything more, Ye Zhaozhao spoke up.

"The suspect hasn't been found yet, so you can't take the child away."

Upon seeing Ye Zhaozhao, the girl's eyes lit up with surprise. The woman looked at Ye Zhaozhao, reluctant to let go of the child in her arms—this was a boy, after all.

"Why can't I take it with me?"

“If you take him away, you’ll be associated with the suspect. When he’s caught, you’ll inevitably be implicated.”

Hearing this, the woman hesitated. She wanted the child, but she didn't want to take on the responsibility. Upon hearing this, she immediately forgot about the child.

He handed the child to Ye Zhaozhao and ran away.

"Comrade Ye, thank you."

"It's alright, what are you going to do with this child?"

"I want to give her away; I've already asked the hospital to help me make some contact."

The girl couldn't bear to look at the child; seeing him reminded her of that night.

She doesn't want to raise children; she wants to continue her studies.

Ye Zhaozhao asked the girl some more details, and the girl immediately told Ye Zhaozhao whatever came to mind.

"I remember now, he smelled strongly of alcohol."

Ye Zhaozhao remembered that Lao Kong smelled of alcohol today and had obtained useful information from him.

Ye Zhaozhao went to find Liu Zhangyi, and Liu Zhangyi also found out the details.

This girl's family wasn't well-off either; the two girls shared a similar background of not being from good families.

Ye Zhaozhao told Liu Zhangyi about the taste of the wine and asked him to try to investigate.

Two days later, Ye Zhaozhao's competition results came out, and Ye Zhaozhao successfully won first place. Since winning first place...

Everyone knows Ye Zhaozhao now, and many people have approached her wanting her to teach English. The first to approach her were the director of a department store and a research institute.

They wanted Ye Zhaozhao to give lectures at their place, and Ye Zhaozhao agreed to go after get off work, seven days a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at the department store.

She went to the research institute on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and refused the remaining people. It's almost the end of the month.

Ye Zhaozhao is also a bit busy, so she decided to start from next month.

The two of them even gave Ye Zhaozhao a month's salary in advance, one thousand yuan each.

Two thousand yuan is a lot of money nowadays.

Ye Zhaozhao went home with two thousand yuan in her pocket, but she had just arrived at the family compound.

Then they saw Gu Yunduan's orderly running over, his head covered in sweat.

"Sister-in-law, Deputy Brigade Commander Gu is injured and is currently in the military hospital."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to remain calm.

I quickly went back and told Sister-in-law Sun to help pick up the child.

Then they went to the military hospital. Seeing Ye Zhaozhao like this, Sun Xiuhua was also very worried. Seeing her like this, Zhou Dawu became jealous.

“I didn’t see you worry this much when I was injured before.”

"How can you compare to Deputy Brigade Commander Gu? Come on, you should go to the military hospital for a checkup right away."
