Zheng Tianming pushed Jiang Qiu aside, forcefully shoved aside his teammates blocking his way, and stared straight at Xu Mengyu. Memories from several years ago flooded back, and his mind was in complete chaos.

"Captain, the female suspect was stabbed by her husband and has been taken to the emergency room."

"Hello, Captain Zheng, we need your cooperation."

But no matter what the people around him said, he seemed not to hear them and walked straight ahead.

Xu Mengyu took a few steps with Xu Lu in her arms. She wasn't unreasonable, but no matter what, he would never firmly choose her.

All of this was a misunderstanding and a coincidence, something he couldn't do due to his profession, which means they really weren't meant to be, and even God didn't think they were a good match.

Zheng Tianming walked to Xu Mengyu's side. He was silent for a moment. If he still couldn't react by now, he would be too stupid.

His lips moved slightly, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Previously, he had said many hurtful things out of jealousy, including countless offensive words.

“Your foot injury hasn’t healed yet, leave it to me.” Zheng Tianming’s voice was low and deep, even a little hoarse.

Xu Mengyu carried Xu Lu forward, her voice indifferent: "No need, thank you, you go ahead with your work."

Feeling an unprecedented awkwardness, Zheng Tianming followed behind Xu Mengyu, his eyes lowered as he looked at her and the child, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Based on her age, Xiaolu should be eight years old this year. After they broke up, she gave birth to their child, and he couldn't even imagine the many difficulties they went through.

Xu Lu blinked her big eyes at Zheng Tianming, her voice a little hoarse: "Uncle Zheng, did you save me?"

Xu Mengyu didn't interrupt or try to smear Zheng Tianming; she let him answer for himself.

"I'm sorry I'm late." Zheng Tianming said, reaching out his hand again, but Xu Mengyu dodged it.

Xu Lu buried her face in Xu Mengyu's arms. Her mother always said that her father was a great hero.

While in the car, he knew his mother would come to rescue him, but he also wondered if the great hero would come along too.

Zheng Tianming became a hero in the eyes of others, but only in front of his lover and children was he nothing...

Xu Lu's arm underwent basic treatment, but the sand and gravel inside were not completely removed. Xu Mengyu held him as they sat on a chair.

Xu Lu didn't want to scream. He bit his lip, his calves trembling, but in the end he couldn't hold back anymore.

With every shout from him, Xu Mengyu felt as if her heart was breaking.

Zheng Tianming stood aside, unable to help at all. He squatted down and took Xu Lu's hand. Xu Lu looked exactly like him when he was a child.

Xu Mengyu's delicate face had not yet regained its color, her eyes were red, and tears were welling up in her eyes, ready to fall at any moment.

"The child is still young, but just to be on the safe side, we still need to take an X-ray." The doctor said and gave the child a prescription.

Zheng Tianming took the card and receipt to pay the fee. He saw the full name and actual age on it. If he had told anyone earlier, he wouldn't have done so many bastard things.

Xu Mengyu sat quietly on the bench, waiting. She was just being shameless; for years, whenever she was drinking or in a bad mood, she would call Zheng Tianming and yell at him.

On the deserted island, although they bickered and he was sharp-tongued and said hurtful things, she still kept a small place in her heart for him.

It's like she knew from the beginning that it wouldn't end well, but she still secretly hoped for it. She couldn't help it; she cursed herself for being pathetic while recklessly clinging to him...

After Xu Lu finished his examination, Xu Mengyu carried him out.

"Fairy, you can't tell Grandma about me wetting my pants." Xu Lu felt incredibly dirty and grimaced in disgust.

Xu Mengyu looked at Xu Lu in her arms, lowered her head and kissed his forehead: "Little Lu, from now on, no matter when, you can call me Mom, even if there are reporters interviewing you, even if there are ten thousand people watching."

Xu Lu looked up, hot tears falling onto his face. He reached out and wiped them away. "Mom, don't cry. I... I'm telling you, when I wet my pants, the smell made them cough..." As he spoke, he tried to smile.

Xu Mengyu hugged Xu Lu and cried. She didn't dare to think about what would happen if she really lost the child. Since he was born, he had lived in a cold and indifferent house and had never felt the warmth of a home. She had never been a good mother.

Xu Lu panicked. He didn't know how to comfort her because his mother rarely cried in front of him. It seemed that no matter what happened, as long as she was there, his world would not collapse.

Zheng Tianming paid the bill, carrying a bottle of warm mineral water and some bread. When he returned, he saw Xu Mengyu crying, so he quickened his pace...

"Eat something first to calm your stomach," Zheng Tianming said, picking Xu Lu up from Xu Mengyu's arms.

Xu Lu was a little embarrassed. He was still naked, and besides, there was nothing wrong with his leg; he had just bumped it. "Uncle Zheng, please put me down."

Xu Mengyu didn't say much; she didn't even have a reason to argue with him: "I've already sent the bodyguards and maids over; we'll be leaving in a bit."

Zheng Tianming was holding Xu Lu with one arm and handing him bread with the other. When he heard Xu Mengyu say that, he looked down and said, "Wait for me? I still have some finishing work to do here."

“No, we’re not going the same way.” Xu Mengyu said, looking at Zheng Tianming: “I have to take care of things at the studio, and Xiaolu still has to go to school.”

Zheng Tianming thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll take you back first."

Xu Mengyu looked up at Zheng Tianming: "You may not have heard me clearly. What I mean is, we're not on the same path."

She knew that once he knew Xu Lu was his child, his attitude would change. If it were before, he would have held her back and waited until everything was settled before they left together.

Zheng Tianming was at a loss. Was he the kind of person who could comfort people?

He held Xu Lu and looked at Xu Mengyu in silence.

"Mom, those bodyguards aren't very reliable, I'm scared..." Xu Lu was genuinely scared. He still trembled at the thought of what had just happened and felt the urge to urinate.

Xu Mengyu nodded: "Then let's go together."

"Uncle Zheng, put me down, I need to go to the bathroom." Xu Lu was a little embarrassed; he was so old, yet he still needed to be carried all the time.

Zheng Tianming bent down and hugged Xu Lu. Before Xu Mengyu could react, he kissed her on the corner of her lips: "Given my relationship with your mother, you should call me Dad, not Uncle."

After Xu Mengyu realized what was happening, she reached out and pinched Zheng Tianming's outer thigh: "How can you be so shameless?"

Zheng Tianming raised an eyebrow. He hadn't yet learned how to be both shameless and able to make people happy.

Xu Lu turned her head away: "Grandma said you can't watch kissing, it'll ruin your eyes."

Xu Mengyu glared at Zheng Tianming, her lips unconsciously pouting, clearly showing how angry she was!

Zheng Tianming carried Xu Lu towards the bathroom. What was the use of being angry? The facts were right in front of her, and she couldn't deny them even if she wanted to.

While Xu Lu was in the restroom, Zheng Tianming received a phone call from the team, informing him of a three-month leave of absence...

His identity was exposed, and his superiors would send someone over again. However, to his surprise, the crazy woman across the hall was actually killed.

The man claimed he wanted to see his wife, but as soon as she arrived, he pulled out a kitchen knife, nearly decapitating her. He died before even reaching the emergency room, with blood splattered everywhere.

The matter isn't over until the mastermind is caught, but Zheng Tianming can no longer continue with this case; he has bigger cases to deal with.

If the seller of the child runs away, then the buyer is still here, isn't he?

Xu Lu came out of the bathroom, limping, clearly having fallen badly: "Uncle Zheng, have the bad guys been caught?"

"Call me Dad." Zheng Tianming picked up Xu Lu. Except for the skin color, they looked alike in every way.

Xu Lu whispered, "No, Mother didn't agree. If I call her that, she'll get angry. Aren't you scared?"

"Why should I be afraid?" Zheng Tianming didn't want to lose face in front of his son, and besides, what did he have to be afraid of...?

Xu Lu's eyes were big and bright. He looked at Zheng Tianming with admiration. He was so amazing that he wasn't afraid of his mother. He was terrified when she shed tears and didn't know what to do.

Zheng Tianming was very pleased to receive the admiring glances.

Xu Mengyu leaned back in her seat, wondering if Zheng Tianming would stick to them like a sticky rice dumpling.

After Zheng Tianming returned, he squatted down in front of Xu Mengyu. Her foot injury hadn't healed yet, and it must be hurting a lot right now: "The report is out. It's nothing serious. Just go back and change the dressing on time."

"Give me the child." Xu Mengyu stood up, not wanting him to carry her at all. If she didn't want any involvement, then she shouldn't make things difficult for him.

Zheng Tianming was still holding Xu Lu in his arms. He turned around and glanced at her, saying, "Stop dawdling, or I'll call Uncle Xu right now and settle our marriage."

Xu Mengyu couldn't help but kick Zheng Tianming: "You're so shameless!"

Zheng Tianming looked indifferent; it was all the same anyway.

"Son, do you want to see your grandfather?" Zheng Tianming looked down at Xu Lu in his arms. Xu Lu was eating bread. He was so sleepy and hungry that he could barely keep his eyes open.

Xu Mengyu had never seen anyone act so shamelessly. She simply lay down on Zheng Tianming's back and pressed down hard, not believing he could stand up.

"Hold onto my waist tightly, or I won't be responsible if you fall." Zheng Tianming was holding Xu Lu with both hands; the child was sleepy, and he couldn't free his hands right now.

Xu Mengyu was furious: "Then why are you showing off? Who told you to carry me!" Despite her words, she still wrapped her legs around his waist.

I was so scared that I didn't think things through, and now I'm feeling a sharp pain in my foot. The reality check came too quickly...

"Captain, what's going on?" His teammates were waiting at the hospital entrance.

Zheng Tianming said naturally, "Take your sister-in-law home. We can talk about the statement tomorrow." With that, he walked towards his car.

The teammate looked puzzled and whispered to the person next to him, "Even someone like the captain can have a wife, what am I lacking?"

“...”

Xu Mengyu bit Zheng Tianming's shoulder; her resentment was stronger than that of a vengeful ghost!

On the way back, Zheng Tianming lit a cigarette and looked at Xu Mengyu, who was still angry, in the rearview mirror: "When are we getting married?"

"You're talking nonsense." Xu Meng cursed directly.

Speaking nonsensically in a serious manner.

Zheng Tianming flicked his cigarette ash: "You wouldn't let me leave back then because I was pregnant? Why didn't you say so?"

"If you like me, I've begged you so much, why don't you stay? And I said, just for a year." Xu Mengyu's tone became serious.

Zheng Tianming never expected that Xu Mengyu would get pregnant. At that time, he didn't know much about this kind of thing, and he had taken precautions.

Zheng Tianming glanced at the rearview mirror: "Then why didn't you say so when I later sought peace?"

"How can you be so shameless? You just leave whenever you want, and you just get back together whenever you want?" Xu Mengyu pouted. He had really broadened her horizons.

Silence fell over the car. Zheng Tianming drove straight to the hotel because the beds there were large enough for three people to sleep in.

Xu Meng's voice sounded like she was in pain. She naively thought that if he knew Xu Lu was his son, he would bow his head. He had no knees and couldn't kneel down!

After arriving at the hotel, Zheng Tianming helped Xu Lu out of the car: "Things have already come to this. We'll just see which day is auspicious when we get to the hotel."

"Get lost." Xu Mengyu got out of the car and walked straight to the hotel. She didn't want to bother with people like that; they were serious but unreliable.

Zheng Tianming paid the room fee and stood next to Xu Mengyu waiting for the elevator to come down: "I'll go back with you. Don't you need a reliable bodyguard?"

"Ha, how rare is that? Are you reliable?" Xu Mengyu crossed her arms. If she didn't stand up for herself now, he really would stay by her side and never leave.

After the elevator came down, Zheng Tianming glanced at Xu Lu in his arms and said, "The child is frightened. It will be safer for me to stay with him."

“You’re the one who’s making things difficult. Don’t even think about taking my child away from me. I’m not afraid of a lawsuit.” Xu Mengyu now finds it hard to see Zheng Tianming as a good person.

Zheng Tianming looked at the little boy who only reached his shoulder. Was he just trying to take the child?

"Give me the room key." She left in a hurry, didn't bring any money, and her phone was dead.

Zheng Tianming took out the room key and held it between his fingers: "I'm sorry, I only have enough money for this one room." After saying that, he opened the door and let Xu Mengyu go in first.

Xu Mengyu gritted her teeth. She was already pretty, and even with that expression, no one could really tell she was ugly. In any case, Zheng Tianming didn't think she was ugly.

Xu Lu was startled and would occasionally let out a sob; he was truly terrified.

Xu Mengyu went inside. She had been up all night, and it was almost dawn. She was extremely tired, and her head was throbbing.

Zheng Tianming put Xu Lu on the bed. He was a first-time father and had little experience. He needed to work on building a relationship with the mother of his child.

Xu Mengyu took off her shoes, hugged Xu Lu, and lay down on the bed. Zheng Tianming went to the bathroom to take a shower. He was usually very clean, and his body was covered in dust, so he didn't want to go to bed.

When they came out, Xu Mengyu was already asleep, her delicate face flushed, and she was holding Xu Lu tightly in her arms. She had also been quite frightened today.

Zheng Tianming dried his hair, sat down in a chair, and drank a cup of tea. He took out his phone and glanced at it, his long eyes half-closed.

[This kid is mine now. Let's see if he's so lucky to escape from me next time, Zheng Tianming!]

Zheng Tianming looked at the text message, took a sip of tea, his eyes cold and deep, then got up and went to bed.

Xu Mengyu felt the mattress sink, and kicked her leg back, making a muffled "roll over" sound. She knew she would get angry when she woke up!
