Baihua is still in the hospital because of her miscarriage and hasn't come back yet. She spent the whole year in the hospital. Fuqiang ran away in the first place, so why would he come back?
Jiang Ci stared at him.
The two were almost at the newspaper office's staff quarters on their bicycles, and Fuqiang was heading in the direction of the staff quarters.
After Bai Hua woke up, the police went to the hospital to question her.
Bai Hua vehemently denied having illicit relationships with others or having children with other people.
Xu Jianguo and the burly man insisted on keeping Bai Hua in check, and even revealed the location of the guesthouse they frequented.
A letter of introduction is required to stay at a guesthouse, and the guesthouse keeps a copy of the proof. So no matter how much Bai Hua denies it, she can't deny the fact that the child she miscarried and the son Xu Jianguo is raising are her children.
He's been arrested now, but Xu Jianguo isn't the kind of person who's willing to raise someone else's child, especially since Bai Hua made him lose face at the newspaper.
So when his parents came, Xu Jianguo asked them to return the child to Bai Hua.
His parents hesitated, saying, "Jianguo, you can't have children, and now you're divorced from Xiaoyun... It's still a question whether you can have children in the future. We raised Xiaobao from a baby. He doesn't remember anything yet. When he grows up, he'll call you Dad, and you'll have someone to carry on the family line, right?"
Xu Jianguo was furious when he heard this, but when he thought about his inability to have children, his heart turned cold. He gritted his teeth and decided not to say anything about returning the child to Bai Hua.
But he still had to squat by the fence where he was supposed to.
A burly, dark-skinned man was squatting with him by the fence.
Even after being discharged from the hospital, Bai Hua was taken to the police station. She was still defending her husband, Fu Qiang, saying that everything had nothing to do with him and that the idea of having a child with another man was hers.
Even when the police told her that Fuqiang had fled with the children and money, Baihua insisted that the matter had nothing to do with Fuqiang.
Logically speaking, since Fu Qiangren had already fled, which could be considered as fleeing from punishment, why would he go to such great lengths to come back?
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli didn't quite understand.
The two exchanged a glance and began to follow at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
Fuqiang's route was clearly to return to the staff quarters of the newspaper, and he took a very discreet route, deliberately choosing to go through winding alleys.
"Dad, are we going home?" Fuqiang's son asked him.
Fuqiang smiled and said, "Yes, isn't this the way home?"
"Yes!" the son said happily. "Dad, we've been out for so long, Mom must be very worried. Let's go back quickly!"
"Okay, we'll be home soon!"
The conversation between Fu Qiang and his son made Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli both frown.
Jiang Ci's expression was cold, and she was no longer drunk. She and Zhou Mingli moved even more quietly, following behind.
Soon, Fuqiang arrived near the newspaper office's staff quarters.
He didn't go through the main gate, but instead went through a very secluded side gate that few people used. This was a side gate that only long-time residents of the apartment complex would likely discover.
Fuqiang carried the child inside.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli parked their bicycles and, instead of rushing home, hid in a spot where they could see the Fuqiang route.
"Have you guessed what he's planning to do?" Zhou Mingli turned his head to look at Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci gave a calm "hmm," and said, "We'll know when he comes out."
Zhou Mingli squeezed Jiang Ci's palm and waited with her for Fu Qiang to appear.
Before long, Fuqiang emerged.
He didn't come out with his son; he came out of his house alone.
He also chose a good time to come back. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone was still visiting relatives and friends. In the family building, people either closed their doors or were chatting happily inside. No one paid any attention to Fuqiang.
The kids playing games downstairs didn't understand anything either. They saw Fuqiang and that was it; they wouldn't point at him and say he was a prisoner.
Fuqiang walked out openly, wearing a hat and a scarf.
He left the child at home.
Or rather, he came back just to keep the child!
"What a beast!" Jiang Ci cursed expressionlessly.
Letting this kind of scoundrel who abandons his wife and children go is a disaster.
Zhou Mingli was equally aloof. "Go to the front gate and call the security guards. I'll stop him."
Zhou Mingli was determined not to let her risk pursuing Fu Qiang, and Jiang Ci didn't hesitate, quickly nodding, "Okay."
She immediately ran forward to find the security personnel.
The building they lived in was very close to the front gate, and Jiang Ci quickly arrived at the gate and knocked on the window of the pavilion.
When the security guards saw it was Jiang Ci, they opened the window. "Comrade Jiang, what's wrong?"
“My wife and I found Fuqiang, comrade. I remember he seemed to have fled to avoid punishment. Should we arrest him now?”
Upon hearing this, the security personnel immediately came out of the pavilion, and the three of them asked in unison, "Where is Fuqiang?!"
"Come with me."
Jiang Ci led the security personnel in the direction that Fu Qiang might have taken to return.
Sure enough, they ran into Zhou Mingli on the way.
Zhou Mingli saw the security personnel and pointed over, saying, "He's over there."
"This guy dares to come back! Let's chase him!"
The security guards were all tall and strong, and they quickly caught up with Fuqiang.
Hearing the noise behind him, Fuqiang turned around, his pupils constricted, and without thinking, he took off running.
Damn it! How did the security guards find him?!
Fu Qiang did not see Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli.
Since his work-related injury, Fuqiang hasn't done any work. With his wife and mother taking care of things at home, he's very carefree every day. Obviously, he's no match for the security guards in terms of physical strength and running speed, and he was easily caught up with.
Fuqiang was pinned to the ground by three security guards.
"You dare to run away, you little brat!"
"You piece of trash, you can't escape now!"
Fuqiang struggled with all his might, but to no avail. "Let me go! I didn't do anything! What right do you have to arrest me!"
"Why are you running away if you didn't do anything?!" the security guard shouted angrily at him.
"I think you're just feeling guilty! Don't waste your breath on him, just take him away!"
As they were talking, the three of them pulled Fuqiang out of the water.
Fu Qiang scrambled to his feet and, seeing Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli not far away, immediately understood what had happened. His eyes turned bloodshot as he glared at them fiercely. "It's you!"
"You're the ones who ruined me!!"
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli sneered at Fu Qiang.
"You still dare to act so violently!" A security guard slapped Fuqiang on the head. "Go and call the police."
After speaking, he paused again and said politely to Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli, "You two should come with us. We might need you to give statements to recount what happened."
“No problem,” Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli agreed.
