Chapter 47 A Terrible Impression (Revised) "What are you doing, want to fight?"...
Captain Meng had enjoyed the excitement tonight, but he never expected that a car would actually arrive at this hour; it was beyond his imagination.
He looked at the man getting out of the car with surprise and asked, "Xiao Qiu, do you know anyone from the Liu family?"
"I guess so." Qiu Xiaoman's answer wasn't wrong. Liu Xiangyang was also a member of the Liu family, and as for Liu Yu from the telecommunications bureau, they had only met once, so they could be considered family.
There was also Liu Kai from the criminal investigation team. She knew he was Liu Yuandou's grandson, but she didn't know his exact birth order.
However, she didn't recognize the person getting off the car. She put down her lunchbox and asked, "Captain Meng, who is he?"
This man is Liu Kun, Liu Yuandou's illegitimate son. He is 1.83 meters tall and is wearing a black suit and black leather shoes despite the cold weather. He looks like an elite person.
His cold, handsome features made him appear unapproachable. His narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes were slightly narrowed as he sized up Qiu Xiaoman in the car.
He was Liu Yuandou's child with his nanny. Fearing that his wife would find out and that he wouldn't receive a good education if raised by the nanny, he bribed his sister-in-law to raise him.
Later, when a relative fell ill and needed to donate a liver, the wife discovered during the blood test that the blood type did not match. Under questioning, the sister-in-law told the truth.
The first wife made a huge scene and cut off all financial support from the Liu family to her sister-in-law. In order to win back her sister's heart, the sister-in-law had no choice but to let her sister's son take her son's college entrance examination score and go to a very good university in Shanghai.
However, the younger sister-in-law later died in a fire in another city. Some people suspect that she was killed by her sister, but there is no evidence.
Moreover, a rumor is widely circulating in Beidu that the sister-in-law died in a car accident.
Captain Meng suspected that this was a smokescreen put up by the real culprit, but the case was being handled by the criminal police at the scene of the crime, and he didn't know the specific details; he had only heard Tiger mention it.
Now, Liu Yuandou is raising his sister-in-law's son. Outsiders say that Liu Yuandou is loyal and righteous, but the reasons behind it are hard to say.
Team Leader Meng could only vaguely reply, "His name is Liu Kun, the 'kun' in Chinese, which means 'square' with two 'square' radicals and one 'earth' radical. In short, he is Liu Yuandou's son."
A son who is the same age as his grandson is only twenty-five this year.
Looking at the system, which was as quiet as a chicken, Qiu Xiaoman realized that the Liu family members she had contacted in the past few days were all innocent, and no one had triggered the system's gossip alarm.
She didn't think the person was there to see her, and continued eating with her head down.
Unexpectedly, after Liu Kun walked over, he only nodded to Captain Meng as a greeting.
He then walked to the back seat of the car and knocked on the window: "Hello, Officer Qiu, I need to talk to you about something. Would you be so kind as to come to my car to discuss it?"
Qiu Xiaoman looked up and saw that this person must be treated well at the Liu family's house. He was driving a Mercedes-Benz W140, which costs over a million yuan even for the entry-level model. Liu Kun, on the other hand, was driving the flagship S600, which cost over 1.6 million yuan.
In comparison, my cousin Shen Tenglong is the most down-to-earth and unpretentious.
However, Qiu Xiaoman is not interested in luxury cars; she only judges a person's economic level, spending habits, and family status based on the price of the car.
She refused Liu Kun: "Is there anything that Captain Meng can't listen to?"
Liu Kun frowned, squinted at the woman across the window, pondered for a moment, walked to the front of the car, and asked, "Captain Meng, you don't mind if I hitch a ride, do you?"
Team Leader Meng was dumbfounded, completely unaware of how this was developing. How strange, why would Liu's illegitimate son want to find Xiao Qiu?
Is it because among the children Xiao Qiu rescued, there was one named Liu Xiangyang?
But he heard that the Liu family didn't intend to acknowledge the child.
If it really concerns the child, we still need to consult Qiu Xiaoman's opinion. He looked in the rearview mirror and said, "Xiao Qiu, it's your decision."
"No need, Captain Meng, you should go back. It's getting late. I'll get off the bus and talk to him." Qiu Xiaoman had finished eating.
After getting off the bus, I greeted Jiang Mingyuan first: "Brother Jiang, I'll return the lunchbox to you after I wash it when I get back. By the way, how is Zhao Qing?"
“He suffered a bit. He was caught and his leg was broken when he tried to escape. He’s in the hospital now. You… Mr. Shen, will cover his medical expenses.” Jiang Mingyuan almost blurted out “your father,” but thankfully he didn’t.
Sigh, Mr. Shen is a man who is very willing to go to great lengths when he really wants to win people back. After hesitating for a moment, he added a few more words: "Mr. Shen has invited the best experts for Zhao Qing. Don't worry, with timely treatment, she will definitely be able to walk normally. However, she may have to suffer a bit during rehabilitation. You should comfort her more then, the little girl is quite pitiful."
"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Qiu Xiaoman was extremely anxious. Why did she have to ask him to tell her such a big thing?
These children depended on each other for survival, and Zhao Qing was always timid and weak, making her the easiest target for bullying. She had been bullied by other children at school. At that time, Zhao Qing was in the first year of junior high school and Feng Shengnan was in the third year. It was Feng Shengnan who saved her; otherwise, the child wouldn't have been taken away by Feng Shengnan with just a few words.
She could choose not to see Shen Qinghuai, ignore the nephew sent by Chen Baihui, and politely decline her cousin's offer, but she absolutely had to see Zhao Qing!
Without saying a word, she walked towards Jiang Mingyuan's car: "Which hospital?"
"Peking Union Medical College Hospital." Jiang Mingyuan was frustrated. He figured Qiu Xiaoman had been exhausted all day, had gone through a gunfight, and was injured. The most important thing right now was for her to get treated at the hospital and get a good night's sleep. Zhao Qing's matter could be discussed tomorrow, but…
Forget it, it's all his fault. He won't argue with Xiao Qiu. The young lady has worked hard enough; it's good for her to vent her anger.
Qiu Xiaoman had no idea what he was thinking. She only knew that he was keeping it from her, so it was no wonder she was angry. She turned around and got into Shen Tenglong's car: "Brother, take me there. Thank you."
Jiang Mingyuan sighed. Well, in the end, Jiang Mingyuan won.
He turned to look at Liu Kun, who was frowning and silent, and said, "What are you standing there for? If you need to see her, just go with her to Peking Union Medical College Hospital. It's not like she's the one who's coming to you."
Liu Kun didn't say anything, but silently got into his Mercedes-Benz and followed behind Shen Tenglong's car.
Jiang Mingyuan simply followed along, and Chen Weiping, who had been ignored for most of the day, was extremely unhappy and also followed.
In the end, only Captain Meng was left standing at the entrance of the base, shivering in the cold wind, grinning foolishly.
Tonight is going to be amazing! I really want to go and see what's going on, but my daughter is still at home. Oh well, I'll go back now.

Orthopedic ward at Peking Union Medical College Hospital.
The girl in the hospital bed was thin and small, with her left leg in a cast and receiving an IV drip.
As the anesthesia wore off, the excruciating pain left her drenched in sweat.
She bit her lip, her eyes reddened, and she couldn't hold back any longer, sobbing uncontrollably.
When the head nurse came in for rounds, she saw that the girl didn't have any family members with her, and felt very sorry for her. She quickly comforted her, "Good girl, didn't President Shen just say that your sister Xiaoman went out on a mission and will be back soon? When she comes back, she will definitely come to see you."
"But Auntie, it hurts so much." Zhao Qing cried with tears and snot streaming down her face. Her pale little face looked even more pitiful. The head nurse felt heartbroken and could only offer a few words of comfort before leaving.
She planned to go to the gastroenterology department to see President Shen and ask when "Sister Xiaoman," whom Zhao Qing had mentioned, would be returning.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the stairwell, I saw a group of people coming.
The leader was a spirited young woman, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a high ponytail, wearing a trench coat and leather shoes, her hands wrapped in gauze, and she walked with a brisk pace.
Four adult men followed behind her. Apart from the one closest to her who had a smile on his face, the other three looked like they were there to collect a debt.
The head nurse was about to step aside to let her pass when the girl at the front of the line came up to her and asked, "Hello, sister, is there a 14-year-old patient here named Zhao Qing?"
"Yes, who are you?" The head nurse was a little surprised. She didn't expect Zhao Qing to have family members. Only the police were present during the surgery.
Qiu Xiaoman quickly introduced herself, and the head nurse breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness you've finally arrived. Quick, the anesthesia has worn off, the child is crying."
The head nurse quickly led Qiu Xiaoman to visit Zhao Qing. Qiu Xiaoman was a little surprised, not expecting that Shen Qinghuai had arranged a single room for Zhao Qing.
Medical expenses must be expensive, right?
She suddenly wondered, "Shen Qinghuai probably didn't help the Song siblings, did he?"
Although she knew that Song Xiaojun was still a child and should be given a chance to correct his mistakes, she still found it disgusting that he actually went to Xiao Qiao's room to pick the lock. What a scoundrel! It was better not to help him. However, she would wait until she had seen Zhao Qing before discussing this matter.
Pushing open the ward door, Qiu Xiaoman felt heartbroken when she saw Zhao Qing's condition. She quickly went up to Zhao Qing and held her hand, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Come stay with me when you're discharged in a couple of days. I'll share a room with Xiao Qiao, and you can sleep in her room. We'll make other plans when you're better."
"Sister Xiaoman, I regret it so much." Zhao Qing sobbed uncontrollably, but she couldn't bear to blame Feng Shengnan, after all, Feng Shengnan didn't want things to turn out this way either.
It's all the fault of those damned human traffickers; without buying and selling, there would be no harm.
She leaned against Qiu Xiaoman's chest and cried herself to sleep.
Qiu Xiaoman carefully laid her down, covered her with a blanket, and checked the radiator in the ward to make sure Zhao Qing wouldn't get cold before leaving.
In the corridor, Chen Weiping had already left. He had no patience to listen to a girl crying; the crying annoyed him, so he simply went back.
Shen Tenglong went to the gastroenterology department to report the situation to Shen Qinghuai.
Only Jiang Mingyuan and Liu Kun remained outside the door.
Qiu Xiaoman asked curiously, "Brother Jiang, why aren't you going back? Aren't you sleepy?"
"It's too late, how are you going to get back?" Jiang Mingyuan felt bad. He wanted to talk to Xiao Qiu alone. No matter how important the children who came from Yunnan were, they were not as important as her own health. He looked down at her hands and said, "Let's go to the surgery department first. The hospital area is too big. I'll show you the way."
Qiu Xiaoman's temper flared up and subsided quickly. Seeing Jiang Mingyuan's concern for her hand, she forgave him. But she asked curiously, "But you've been running around all day, aren't you tired?"
He was definitely sleepy, but he was in good health and the cold wind made him feel awake.
So he smiled and said, "I'm not sleepy, let's go."
Qiu Xiaoman turned around and looked at Liu Kun, who had been following her, completely baffled: "What do you want from me?"
"Take care of your wound first, we'll talk later." Liu Kun said with a sour face, as if he really came to collect a debt.
Qiu Xiaoman had a very bad impression of him, extremely bad!
She turned and followed Jiang Mingyuan out. When she reached the corner and looked back, hey, this guy had nails on his feet, standing there staring straight at her!
Qiu Xiaoman disliked that look and immediately asked, "What's wrong? Want to fight?"
