Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 1254: Marriage Recovered Through Fraud (20)
Shi Chu took Du Xiaoshi and followed the police back to the police station. Du Xiaoling was always looked after by the female police officer. Apart from being nervous, there were no safety issues.
She was waiting at the door eagerly. When she saw Shi Chu coming back with Du Xiaoshi, she immediately rushed over to him like a baby bird: "Auntie! Brother! Woo woo..."
Du Xiaoshi also hugged his sister back with tears in his eyes, and cried with her. Du Xiaoling cried and shouted sadly: "Brother! I thought I would never see you again! Woo woo, I was so scared..."
"Sister, don't be afraid, I'm back." Du Xiaoshi comforted his sister while crying and hiccuping.
Because they had rescued many children, the police were very busy. As the hero who found the children and helped catch the traffickers, Shi Chu answered some questions, made a statement, and then was allowed to take the children home.
After experiencing this unexpected disaster, the two children didn't dare to look around curiously as before. Instead, they held Shi Chu's hand tightly and stuck to her, fearing that they would be abducted again by accident. Du Xiaoshi, in particular, was like a frightened puppy. He would tremble with fear when he saw a stranger approaching.
Shi Chu had no choice but to pick up both children. Fortunately, they were still young and Shi Chu was strong, so he could hold one in each hand.
"The wound on Xiaoshi's face is a bit serious. Let's go to the hospital." Shi Chu looked at the bruises on Du Xiaoshi's cheek and said, the human trafficker was so cruel that he could even beat a child so harshly. The bruise on Du Xiaoshi's cheek was half the thickness of his other cheek, which looked even more hideous on his fair and delicate face.
"Auntie, I'm not in pain. Can we not go to the hospital? Let's go home..." Du Xiaoshi said to Shi Chu timidly. His eyes were still red and swollen, and he looked at Shi Chu nervously.
Shi Chu looked at him steadily and soothed him softly, "Don't be afraid. The hospital is very safe. There are only patients, doctors and nurses inside. No one would dare to hurt you there, and I won't lose you again. If you don't apply medicine to the wound on your face, it will take a long time to heal."
Du Xiaoshi had no choice but to agree when he heard her say that. Du Xiaoling seemed to notice her brother's nervousness, and quickly patted the back of his hand, comforting him in a baby voice, saying, "Brother, I will also keep a close eye on you, and no one can take you away from me!"
"Okay..." Du Xiaoshi said and stuck close to Shi Chu again.
Shi Chu saw that he agreed and took them both to the hospital.
When the doctor saw the wound on Du Xiaoshi's face, he immediately frowned, looked at Shi Chu with indifference and disapproval, and asked, "What's going on? How could you have the heart to hit such a young child? And beat him so hard?"
Shi Chu knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "I didn't beat him, he met a bad guy and was beaten by him."
The doctor was shocked and realized he had misunderstood. He quickly apologized to Shi Chu, then applied medicine to Du Xiaoshi while asking the child what kind of bad guy he had met who could have harmed him.
Shi Chu told the truth that he had met a human trafficker. The doctor immediately started to curse the trafficker angrily, and then said to Shi Chu with some sympathy: "It turns out that the whole town was in an uproar about the case of human traffickers kidnapping children. One of the victims was yours... You took two children out on the street by yourself today? No wonder, it's normal that you can't take care of two children for a while. But you have to learn from your lesson in the future and don't be so careless. Not every time a child is lost, you will be so lucky to find him..."
"I know that this lesson is enough for me to remember for the rest of my life. How dare I do it again?" Shi Chu said with a wry smile.
"It's a good thing those damn human traffickers were caught, otherwise I don't know how many families would have lost their children and ended up with their families broken up. In my opinion, it would not be too much to let those human traffickers be shot in a wooden box a hundred times!" the doctor said indignantly.
"Yes! Such a heinous beast has no right to live!" Shi Chu agreed and followed the doctor in cursing the human traffickers.
More than ten minutes later, Shi Chu finally came out with the medicine and the child.
Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels far and wide. When Shi Chu just returned to the village with the child, Duzhou came out from home to pick them up. When he was in the county transport team, he received a call from the town police station. The police told him that his child was lost and asked him to come back quickly.
His mind went blank immediately and he had almost no reaction. It was only after a while that he realized what was meant. His hands were shaking so much that he could not hold the receiver.
He was so panicked that he bit his lips until they bled. The pain made him calm down and listen to the police.
By the time he hung up the phone, he was already covered in cold sweats. He asked his leader for leave. When his leader heard that his child was lost, he asked him to go back and look for him without saying a word. In order not to waste time, he even approved him to drive a car back to town.
But Duzhou was so anxious and nervous that his hands were shaking and he couldn't drive at all. Finally, his leader asked a colleague to drive for him.
However, when his colleagues sent him back to the town police station, he learned that Du Xiaoshi had been found and Shi Chu had taken them home, so he rushed home again.
It was just that Shi Chu took Du Xiaoshi to the hospital and was delayed for a while, and Du Zhou took a car back, so he returned home earlier than Shi Chu and the others.
Duzhou was so panicked that his heart almost stopped beating when he didn't see his child at home. Finally, it was his colleague who sent him home who comforted him and said that they must be on the way back, which made him calm down.
"Xiao Shi!" Duzhou knelt on the ground immediately when he saw his son with red and swollen cheeks, and hugged him tightly in his arms.
When Du Xiaoshi was hugged by him, the emotions that had finally calmed down were instantly aroused again. He buried his head in Du Zhou's arms and cried his heart out. Perhaps because he saw his relatives, his grievances burst out again.
When Duzhou saw his son crying so miserably, his son's eyes also became hot and he couldn't help but shed a few tears. It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but they just don't cry when they are sad.
Duzhou couldn't imagine how painful he would be if his child was really lost. When he learned from the police that his son was missing, the moment he collapsed was indescribable.
He hugged his lost and found son tightly, as if to release all the fear in his heart.
When Du Xiaoling saw the father and son hugging each other and crying, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red. She was moved to tears and threw herself into Duzhou's arms. Duzhou then opened his arms and hugged her too.
Shi Chu stood aside and watched the three of them vent their emotions without disturbing them. To be honest, she felt a little guilty. After all, it was because she was too careless and did not keep an eye on the child that the human traffickers took advantage of the opportunity and almost kidnapped Du Xiaoshi.
