"Release them! If anything happens, I'll take responsibility!"
She spoke with such authority that they dared not move an inch.
The hand involuntarily loosened its grip, and the old woman said something.
"I was just afraid you'd make a big deal out of this. Is it really necessary? The child couldn't have been hidden in the box; otherwise, he would have suffocated long ago!"
"Hey girl, why are you making such a fuss so early in the morning? We live on the same floor. If this keeps up, it won't sound good if word gets out!" the man said confidently. "I'm doing this for your own good!"
Su Lan and her son had already pulled Liu Yue'e aside.
Lu Zhixia was too lazy to argue with these people about the Empress, so she picked up the hammer and continued smashing the lock.
"Lu Zhixia, I'm telling you, if you smash this box, I'm not done with you! It contains my father's ashes!"
Liu Yue'e started lying because no normal person is unafraid of ashes.
After hearing this, those people started to speak up again, saying, "What you're doing is really going too far. Do you really have to smash it open?"
"Exactly, in my opinion, this is no different from robbery!"
The plump auntie understood what was going on as soon as she arrived, so she put her hands on her hips...
"Are you all ever going to stop? This has nothing to do with you. Stop talking nonsense!"
Seeing that Aunt Pang had also joined in, those people dared not speak.
Their eyes were fixed on the box. If there were no children inside, they'd see how these girls would get out of this mess!
No matter how much Liu Yue'e struggled, it was no use; her mouth was covered by a tattered cloth that the little brat had found somewhere.
Lu Zhixia pounded on the lock with all her might, and soon there was a click as the lock finally fell to the ground.
Liu Yue'e closed her eyes in despair, unable to face what was about to happen.
Lu Zhixia opened the lid of the box and was shocked to see the child curled up inside, her face flushed, covered in sweat, and her little dress completely soaked with sweat.
"There really are children like this!"
"Wow!"
"What have we just done!"
Those people shut up immediately after speaking; their meddling almost delayed the rescue of the child.
Seeing that her daughter was indeed in the box, Su Lan subconsciously let go of her hand, then immediately rushed over and picked the child up from inside.
"Yuanyuan!"
Liu Yue'e felt this was an opportunity, so she shook off the child's hand and ran outside while everyone was crowding around.
The fat aunt grabbed her clothes, but Liu Yue'e simply ripped them off, leaving the coat with the fat aunt, and then ran away.
"Stop right there!"
Aunt Pang shouted and chased after him, but tripped on the threshold and almost fell. She peeked out and saw that he had already run far away, so she had no choice but to go back into the house.
Lu Zhixia began first aid for the child and found that the body temperature was extremely high and the heartbeat was weak. She then spoke to Su Lan.
"No, let's all take the children to the hospital. We can't delay any longer."
"Then let's take him to the hospital." Su Lan picked up the child and ran outside.
Lu Zhixia supported her head from behind, and the two ran towards the hospital.
After they left, the plump aunt put her hands on her hips and said to everyone, "That Liu Yue'e is a human trafficker. If they hadn't insisted on opening the box, Xiao Yuanyuan would have died inside." Then she pointed at them and said, "You are all accomplices today. Sometimes you shouldn't meddle in other people's business, or it will lead to someone's death."
"Auntie Pang, we didn't mean it. We just didn't want to make a big fuss, or it would sound bad if word got out," the woman said. "Who knew it would turn out like this? Now the child has been rescued."
"That's because it wasn't your children who were lost that you could act so nonchalantly. Now you know what kind of person Liu Yue'e is, so you'd better watch your children carefully!"
After venting her anger, Aunt Pang went back inside, still shaken by what had just happened.
Fortunately, it wasn't their own child.
Others might think this way, but it's not their own child who gets hurt.
Liu Yue'e, who was hiding in the alley, never expected that her secret would be exposed.
I found Zhou Yuanyuan alone when I went to the toilet. She looked pretty and thought she would definitely be beautiful when she grew up.
Although it's not a boy, a baby of excellent quality is definitely valuable.
Then she had a wicked idea and took the child home directly.
Everyone in the hallway was busy at the time, and no one noticed what was happening, which allowed her to take advantage of the situation.
"Lu Zhixia! Su Lan! I will never let you get away with this!"
She can't go home right now; if those people see her come back, they'll definitely send her to the police station. She can only hide outside and wait until things calm down before going back!
——
Lu Zhixia and Su Lan had already arrived at the hospital. Everyone here seemed to be extremely busy. They went to the lobby, but no one paid them any attention. Even the nurses were in a hurry.
Lu Zhixia saw a female doctor walking towards her.
"Comrade, come and see the child."
Lin Yueru glanced at the person blocking her way, then said coldly,
"I'm a gynecologist, I don't deal with children."
Lu Zhixia didn't move aside, but continued to block her path.
"Just show us, the child seems unable to breathe and needs emergency care."
"I have something to do," Lin Yueru said impatiently. "You should go find an emergency doctor now, not me. I can't handle this."
Lu Zhixia grabbed her collar, "I don't care what kind of doctor you are, but you're a doctor who saves lives, can't you at least help take a look?"
Lin Yueru panicked. When had she ever been treated like this?
"Let go of my hand right now, or I'll call security!"
Su Lan knelt down, holding the child, pleading, "Doctor, please help me!"
As other patients gathered around, Lin Yueru became increasingly embarrassed and softened her tone, saying...
