Chapter 79: Prison

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

When Jiang Tang came to her senses, she saw the kid looking at her worriedly with his big eyes.

He quickly retracted his thoughts and shook his head, "It's okay."

She touched the boy's head and removed the annoying Qin Xiao from her mind.

He exhaled lightly, stood up, and looked down at the kid, "Chuyang, are you hungry?"

The young man nodded his head and touched his belly, "Sister-in-law, I'm hungry."

The little guy looked really cute. Jiang Tang smiled and walked to the refrigerator, opened it, found the ingredients, and prepared to make lunch.

Qin Xiao went to the factory early in the morning.

Her menstruation is over now, so Qin Xiao doesn't have to run back and forth every day to accompany her and not let her do anything else.

Jiang Tang took out the ingredients skillfully and asked the boy to help her while she cut the vegetables.

Dudududu.

Qin Chuyang blinked his big eyes and looked at Jiang Tang, "Sister-in-law, there's someone."

Jiang Tang said loudly without turning back, "Chuyang, go ask who is at the door. Don't open the door to bad guys."

The kid ran out with his short legs. Jiang Tang kept an eye on the door while cutting vegetables.

After a while, the kid came running back, looking up at her with wrinkled brows.

"Sister-in-law, if you don't open the door, you are a bad person."

Jiang Tang frowned slightly, picked up the kitchen knife in her hand and walked out to see the bad guy the kid mentioned. The little guy followed her closely.

As soon as Jiang Tang reached the gate of the courtyard, he heard noises outside.

It’s Jiang Cui.

She looked down at the kid and carefully handed him the kitchen knife with its back turned over. "Chuyang, help your sister-in-law take this back. Be careful."

The young man nodded, glanced at the closed door, took the kitchen knife, and walked in quietly.

Jiang Tang turned around and opened the door for Jiang Cui, who was standing at the door holding an envelope.

When she saw someone opening the door, she immediately looked up and saw Jiang Tang. She handed the thing in her hand directly to him.

Jiang Tang didn't answer, frowning and looking at her, "What does this mean?"

Jiang Cui lowered her eyes and stared at the envelope in her hand. "I know you may think it's a little too little now, but this is also my compensation."

Compensation? Jiang Tang looked at the envelope in her hand.

Jiang Cui remained in the position of handing it over to her and explained, "This is my compensation for all the advantages I took from you before."

In the past, out of vanity and jealousy, she stole Jiang Tang's clothes and used her things to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and to build good relationships with others. She never thought about returning them to Jiang Tang.

She should come back today.

Although these were not the only things she had done to provoke Jiang Tang, this was all she could afford to pay back now.

Is she here to pay back the money?

Realizing this, Jiang Tang reached out and took the envelope, which easily fell into her hand without any effort.

Jiang Cui quickly withdrew her hand.

Jiang Tang took a quick look and found that there was indeed money in the envelope.

She looked up at Jiang Cui in front of her and whispered, "Do you have money now?"

Jiang Cui nodded without saying anything. "I just divorced Chen Qian and have some money."

She looked up at Jiang Tang and said, "I have a little bit left on me, it's useful, I can't give it all to you."

She spoke of the divorce calmly, as if it was just an ordinary thing.

Jiang Tang opened the envelope in front of Jiang Cui, counted the money, took out a few bills neatly, and handed them back to Jiang Cui.

Jiang Cui didn't move, but just stared at her in confusion.

Jiang Tang shook his fingers and said, "I only take what I deserve. You should return what I deserve."

Jiang Cui was silent for a moment, raised her hand to take the bills, and stared at the money in her hand.

Jiang Tang frowned and asked, "You and Chen Qian are divorced? Is this the money you got?"

Jiang Cui smiled calmly, "Yeah."

"I said before, they can't survive me."

"But I never thought that the people in the county town are so poor. The Chen family doesn't have much money at all. They just have a house in the city and usually pretend to be rich."

She got the money and didn't want to continue to be entangled with Chen Qian.

Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows, "How could they be willing to give the benefits to you?"

"Especially his mother."

That man is a difficult person to deal with. Why would he take the initiative to give money to Jiang Cui so that they can divorce?

She had previously thought that letting her son have an illegitimate family outside was better than getting a divorce for money.

Jiang Cui smiled and looked at Jiang Tang, "Her son is going to marry a girl from the city, so naturally I need to take over his position."

"You just vacated the space for them?"

Jiang Cui shook her head. "No, that girl was my friend from school. Her family was well-off, at least better than the Chen family. I asked her to help me."

"She helped me to flirt with Chen Qian and expressed her desire to marry him."

"Chen Qian is already married for the second time. If he can find a partner like this again, his mother will be even more anxious than he is and will start to back off from me."

"Especially since the bride said she would give a considerable dowry, they became even more anxious."

Thinking about her dowry and recalling how stupidly she had asked Jiang Tang for a color TV, Jiang Cui laughed at herself.

Jiang Tang nodded. So now that Jiang Cui and Chen Qian are divorced, it is still a lie for the Chen family to think that they can find a good daughter-in-law right away.

Jiang Tang understood, but she looked at Jiang Cui and asked, "Aren't you afraid that they will cause trouble to you or your friend in the future?"

Jiang Cui shook her head. "This is the second reason I came to see you today. I am about to leave Wuli County."

"If I leave, they won't be able to find any trouble with me. If they go to the Jiang family to find trouble, I'll be happy."

"As for my friends, they are not to be trifled with."

"Are you leaving?" Jiang Tang looked at Jiang Cui in front of him and saw determination in her eyes.

"Yeah." Jiang Cui looked up at Jiang Tang, "There's nothing left here that belongs to me. I'm going to go outside and take a look."

"No matter how bad life gets, it's better than now."

Jiang Tang asked one more question, "When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow." Jiang Cui had no regrets in her heart. She looked at Jiang Tang and said, "After counting, you are the only person I need to say goodbye to in Wuli County. I need to return the money to you. I know you won't forgive me, but at least I can let it go in my heart."

"I don't know if I will come back in the future, but I will pay you back and apologize to you."

"Jiang Tang, I'm sorry."

This was Jiang Cui’s nth time to apologize. Jiang Tang couldn’t quite remember how many times, but she could see that this time she was sincere.

Jiang Tang was silent and said nothing.

She didn't respond at all. Jiang Cui's lips were also tinged with sadness as she looked at Jiang Tang.

"I'm leaving first. I don't know if Jiang Hu will come to see you again after I am gone from the Jiang family."

She stared at Jiang Tang and said self-deprecatingly, "I really regret it now. Why didn't I just let him stay in the police station? You were right at that time. If such a disaster is released, I will be the one who gets hurt."

She touched her empty belly, "…But now, it doesn't matter. I've paid the price, seen everything clearly, and am leaving."

"If they come to trouble you again in the future, the police station will be more suitable for them."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Jiang Tang, then turned and left.

Jiang Tang's lips moved slightly, and he whispered, "Jiang Cui, goodbye."

Jiang Cui paused for a moment and responded loudly, "Goodbye."

After saying this, he left without any reluctance.

Jiang Tang watched her back disappear at the intersection, lowered his eyes to stare at the envelope in his hand, turned back to the yard and closed the door.

Back in the yard, Jiang Tang put the money she had just received into her bag, then washed her hands and went into the kitchen to continue cooking. After finishing her meal with the little guy, Jiang Tang wondered who would come to her first, Jiang Hu or Chen Qian.

But unexpectedly, I received a call from the hospital in the afternoon.

When Jiang Tang picked up the phone, he heard the nurse's anxious voice.

"Hello, is this Comrade Jiang Tang?"

Jiang Tang heard her urgency and responded quickly.

The nurse said on the phone, "The woman from last time is here again. This time it's the baby from last time. The condition is very bad. If possible, can you come to the hospital now?"

The child the doctor mentioned last time was Li Shunqin's child. She frowned and immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll go over right now."

Without wasting any time, Jiang Tang hung up the phone, wrapped a scarf around her neck, squatted in front of Qin Chuyang, looked up at the boy, and tried to keep her voice steady, "Chuyang, sister-in-law has to go out now. We Chuyang still want to go and play with your friends at home."

When going to the hospital again, Jiang Tang still felt it was not appropriate to bring the little guy with him.

The boy saw that his sister-in-law was anxious, so he spoke sensibly, "Sister-in-law, Chuyang is waiting for you at home."

Jiang Tang rubbed the little guy's face randomly, reminded him to close the door and not open it for others, then rushed out of the yard.

She ran to the intersection, quickly hailed a tricycle, and rushed to the county hospital.

She rushed straight into the hospital lobby as soon as she got off the car. As soon as she entered the lobby, the nurse came up to her and explained the situation to her with a frown.

"The child is now unconscious and has been burnt out."

She frowned and said, "I asked Comrade Li Shunqin what caused it, but she refused to say anything."

As a medical worker, it is difficult for me to speculate about the patient's family, but I saw the pitiful condition of a child who was almost a baby.

The nurse couldn't help but say, "From our initial observation, the little guy's body was covered in bruises, which looked like frostbite, but the patient's family didn't say anything and didn't answer any of our questions."

"And send him to the hospital. Don't worry about anything else. Just let us call you."

Jiang Tang took a deep breath. How could there be such parents?

The nurse felt bad, "What sin has this kid committed?"

Jiang Tang was speechless. He walked over with the nurse and handed over the money.

Then she saw Li Shunqin and her man coming over, and when they saw Jiang Tang, they quickly ran to Jiang Tang.

"Jiang Tang, the child is in danger now. Even if you hate us, you can't just ignore a child, right?"

Jiang Tang took a deep breath to keep himself calm, "I can give you money."

When they heard this, their cloudy eyes suddenly brightened up. The man immediately stood in front of Li Shunqin and looked at Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang frowned, "I'll give you the money. Tell me honestly what caused the child to become ill."

As soon as he said this, the two of them looked at each other. Li Shunqin wanted to say something but stopped herself. When her man glared at her, she retracted her neck.

Li Shunqin looked at Jiang Tang and said, "Children are prone to illness."

He also took the opportunity to sell her badly, "Because there was no money at home, I couldn't give her anything good, and the things she wore were very thin."

"That's how sick I am."

Jiang Tang stared at the two people and said in a deep voice, "I have a thousand yuan here. I will give it to the one of you who tells the truth. Tell me the truth. I will give it to the one who believes me."

As soon as she said this, Li Shunqin looked at her man and was about to speak.

The man who suddenly attacked her slapped her hard in the face. She fell to the ground. Jiang Tang frowned and looked at the woman who fell to the ground without saying a word.

Li Shunqin looked at Jiang Tang and said, "Comrade Jiang Tang, I didn't lie. We are really poor. The little girl didn't wear enough clothes, so she got hurt."

Jiang Tang looked at him coldly without saying a word.

At this time, the nurse walked over and spoke anxiously into Jiang Tang's ear.

"Comrade Jiang Tang, that kid is in a very bad condition now, and he may not be able to be saved."

She had seen these two families before and no longer wanted to say anything to them. Perhaps Comrade Jiang Tang, who was worried about the child, was much better than these two cold-hearted parents.

Jiang Tang narrowed his eyes, his eyes were somewhat dangerous. The little girl was in a very bad condition. If she really didn't come back, then...

The two men in front of her were the murderers.

Jiang Tang narrowed her eyes and shook her head at the nurse, not intending to explain the situation first.

She looked at the two people in front of her coldly and said in a cold voice, "I just want the truth now. I don't care about your family affairs. Tell the truth and I will give you one thousand yuan."

After she finished speaking, she stared at the two of them and said, "Don't lie, I can see it."

After saying this, he turned around and tilted his head to look at the nurse.

"Can I use the hospital's phone?"

The nurse agreed directly, ignored the two people, and took Jiang Tang to make a phone call.

Jiang Tang called Qin Xiao, and after Qin Xiao answered the phone, he briefly explained the situation.

"Jiang Tang, wait for me to come over."

"Um."

After Jiang Tang finished talking to Qin Xiao, he hung up the phone.

Then he looked at the two people coldly, sat in his seat in the hall, and ignored them.

Li Shunqin got up from the ground and walked to Jiang Tang's side. When her man saw this, he immediately caught up with her.

Li Shunqin stared at Jiang Tang, covering her face, "Can you really give me a thousand yuan?"

Before Jiang Tang could answer, Li Shunqin was pushed to the ground by her man again, "You bitch, you want to lie."

After he pushed Li Shunqin, he looked at Jiang Tang attentively, "To be honest, that little girl is this vicious woman. She wanted to get money from you, so she deliberately let her suffer."

"I didn't." Li Shunqin lay on the ground, looking at Jiang Tang anxiously.

Jiang Tang looked at Li Shunqin calmly, "If you tell me the truth, I can not only give you one thousand yuan, but also let you divorce him and send you away."

Li Shunqin lay down next to Jiang Tang. Her man was about to take action again. Jiang Tang looked away indifferently.

Seeing the man was hesitant, Jiang Tang looked down at Li Shunqin, "I won't lie to you. I don't want you to appear in front of Qin Xiao and the others in the future. If you tell the truth now, I will send you away so that I won't have to see you and won't be bothered."

Li Shunqin was moved.

She looked at Jiang Tang hesitantly, then glanced at the man next to her, and was frightened by the man's vicious eyes.

Jiang Tang naturally saw it too. She said calmly, "Who do you think is better, him or my Qin Xiao?"

Li Shunqin was stunned by her words. Of course, it was Qin Xiao who was powerful.

She stared at Jiang Tang and pointed at his man, "It's him. He made the child sick."

"He was originally unhappy that I had a girl, and he didn't care about the child at all. He wanted to send the girl away, but no one was willing to buy her. Last night, it was so cold, and he put the child at the door with only a piece of clothing on her."

She looked up at Jiang Tang timidly, "He left the child outside and froze him all night."

Although the weather is getting better and winter has just passed, it is still very cold. An adult wearing thin clothes may not be able to endure it outside, let alone a child!

How can such people be qualified to be parents?

Jiang Tang was so angry that he was shaking all over.

Li Shunqin's man couldn't help but kick her and pointed at her to refute, "Comrade Jiang Tang, this bastard is lying. I didn't freeze the child."

"It's her own fault. She abandoned Qin Xiao and Qin Chuyang before. She has no feelings for the child at all, not to mention that she is just a little girl."

"She just wants to use the child to get some more money from you. You are cruel to us, but if it is a child, you will definitely be soft-hearted and give her money."

Jiang Tang now found it difficult to listen to what these two people said. She only knew that their words combined to mean the same thing.

The child had been freezing outside the house all night, but now, it was already afternoon, and they finally sent the child to the hospital.

Then he couldn't wait to give her money.

Jiang Tang's brain was about to explode. How could such people be qualified to be parents?

She thought that there were parents in the world who loved their children, but she never thought that there were actually parents who did not love their children, and there were quite a few of them.

Li Shunqin was lying on the ground, her eyes were red and her face was completely swollen. She looked at Jiang Tang with a ferocious expression.

"Jiang Tang, I have already told you the truth."

"Can you really give me money and send me away?"

Jiang Tang nodded, "Of course, as long as you are telling the truth."

What she meant was that she was going to give Li Shunqin money and send her away in front of him.

How could Li Shunqin's man allow this?

"This bitch is telling lies. She was able to abandon Qin Xiao and Qin Chuyang before. Now even if she abandons a little girl, she can still cheat money. So what?"

Jiang Tang raised his eyes and his gaze paused. He looked past Li Shunqin's man and saw Qin Xiao walking in from the door step by step behind him.

Li Shunqin's man also looked over and was frightened by Qin Xiao. He couldn't help but shrink his body back. The place where Qin Xiao had hit him before seemed to still be a little painful.

Qin Xiao didn't look at the two people. He walked over and squatted in front of Jiang Tang. He reached out and stroked the little girl's cheek and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you okay?"

Jiang Tang placed her hand on the man's hand that was touching hers and shook her head slightly.

"Nothing."

Qin Xiao stood up and sat next to Jiang Tang, stroking the little girl's hand.

He looked up at the two people in front of him.

The two people who were able to speak to Jiang Tang just now were now silent.

Jiang Tang tilted his head and looked at Qin Xiao, his face completely downcast.

"These two people left the child alone outside, freezing him overnight, and only just sent him to the hospital. The first thing they did was to ask me for money."

At this point, Jiang Tang turned his head and whispered into Qin Xiao's ear, "The child is in a very bad condition now. There's a possibility that he can't be saved."

Qin Xiao's face froze instantly and he stared at the two people in front of him.

Meeting his gaze, Li Shunqin just looked at Jiang Tang secretly.

"Jiang Tang, I have told you the truth. I didn't lie to you."

"I will never look for Qin Xiao and Chu Yang again. Please let me go."

Jiang Tang said nothing. Now that Qin Xiao was here, the two of them couldn't run away.

She said coldly, "You'd better pray that she's okay, otherwise it would be murder, and then you'll be sent to jail."

When Li Shunqin's husband heard Jiang Tang say that he was going to send them to jail, he immediately became anxious. "The child was just frozen outside for a night. It's not that cold now. How can he be in trouble?"

At this point, he stared at Li Shunqin and said, "It's all your fault, you bastard. You left the child alone."

"It's you." Li Shunqin pointed at his man.

Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang just watched the two of them blaming each other with cold eyes and ignored them.

Until the nurse came hurriedly, looked at Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao, with regret on her face, and shook her head at the two of them.

“When the child was brought here, the situation was already very bad.”

"We tried everything, but there was no way to save him."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Shunqin's husband started to curse, "What a lousy hospital you are. You can't even cure a minor cold or fever."

"I'm going to sue you and make you pay!"

His words made the nurse's face turn cold. "The hospital has tried its best to save the child. How can you be parents? When the child was brought in, his body was already purple. You can tell at a glance that he was severely frozen. How can you take care of your child?"

A little life was gone like that, and the nurse had somewhat lost her upbringing as she looked at the two weird parents in front of her.

When Jiang Tang suddenly heard the news, he felt weak, his back was covered in cold sweat, and his heart was chilled.

Looking at the man who is still trying to claim compensation from the hospital, I want to sew his mouth shut and let him die.

Li Shunqin's husband was still jumping up and down, "My girl was fine when she was brought here. She was just frozen for a while. There was no big problem at all. You quacks killed my baby. Pay me!"

Jiang Tang closed his eyes, tilted his head to look at Qin Xiao, and said softly, "Qin Xiao, take them to the police station. I'll look after the children here."

Qin Xiao's face was as cold as a pond. He stood up and kicked the man who was still causing trouble for the nurse to the ground.

He raised his hands and clamped the man's arms behind his back, making him unable to move. He stepped on the man's back and exerted force with his hands, causing the man to scream.

The hand is completely dislocated.

Qin Xiao stared at Li Shunqin beside him with a gloomy face. Li Shunqin was afraid of her son, so she got up and followed Qin Xiao with her body hunched.

Qin Xiao tilted his head and looked at Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang said slowly, "Take someone to the Public Security Bureau. I'll be waiting at the hospital. Call me if you have anything."

Qin Xiao frowned, "If I don't come by dark, you go home first, I will take care of the rest."

Qin Chuyang was still at home. Jiang Tang nodded, "Yeah."

Qin Xiao grabbed Li Shunqin's man and left, and Li Shunqin followed behind.

Jiang Tang tilted his head to look at the nurse and whispered, "Can I go and see him now?"

The nurse nodded gloomily, "Come with me."

Jiang Tang followed behind her, and the nurse couldn't help but say, "The little girl is so pitiful."

"When he was born, he looked good even though he was malnourished. Now he looks terrible."

Jiang Tang followed behind her. She didn't see the baby before, she just saw the baby being held in Li Shunqin's arms not long ago.

Such a beautiful little life just disappeared at the hands of selfish parents.

The nurse took her to see it. Jiang Tang felt suffocated and couldn't say a word.

"If it is suspected of intentional homicide, the little girl may need to be examined to find out the cause of death."

What a poor little girl! After Jiang Tang finished reading, he followed the nurse out and said softly, "I want to buy a beautiful new dress for the little girl. Is that okay?"

Such a small child was wearing rags patched with holes, and his clothes were so thin and pitiful.

"Of course."

The nurse nodded. "But wait until your husband has dealt with those two people thoroughly."

Jiang Tang understood what this meant. She nodded, her body somewhat limp, and she returned to the hall powerlessly.

Sit quietly.

The nurse stayed with her for a while and then went back to work.

Jiang Tang sat there in a daze, not moving at all.

Qin Xiao didn't come back until it was completely dark outside.

Thinking of Qin Chuyang at home, Jiang Tang stood up, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. She stood up with her hands on her knees and walked out of the hospital dragging her weak and aching legs.

I took a tricycle back home.

As soon as I opened the gate, a small thing was hung on my legs.

The kid raised his head and looked at her pitifully, "Sister-in-law, if you don't come back, brother won't come back either."

Jiang Tang raised his hand and touched the boy's head.

Holding the boy's hand, Jiang Tang went to the kitchen and sat down exhausted. Looking at the lively boy in front of him, he couldn't help thinking that the kid was gone when he was only four years old.

She couldn't help but reach out to touch the little guy's face and feel his warmth.

My eyes feel a little hot.

Qin Chuyang stood in front of Jiang Tang, holding her face with his chubby hands, blinking his eyes and looking at her worriedly with his head tilted.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

Jiang Tang held the person tightly in his arms.

I want both of them to go to jail.

Qin Chuyang held Jiang Tang in his arms obediently, and his little hands touched her head to comfort her, just like Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao usually did.

Jiang Tang held the little life in his arms, calmed down for a while, and then let him go. He looked at the little guy in front of him and whispered, "Chuyang, you must always stay with your brother and sister-in-law."

The young man blinked his big eyes and nodded his head affirmatively, "Chuyang has been with his brother and sister-in-law all his life."

Jiang Tang raised the corners of his lips slightly and forced a smile.

She endured the pain in her legs and stood up, "Chuyang, you must be hungry, right? I'll cook for you first."

The young man pulled Jiang Tang's hand and shook his head, "Sister-in-law, I'm not hungry. Chuyang ate a lot of food. The small cakes made by sister-in-law are just snacks."

He patted his belly and said, "I'm really not hungry."

Jiang Tang reached out and touched the little guy's belly, nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law touched the little cake."

Jiang Tang sat back in his seat, quietly holding the little guy, and rested for a while.

It was already getting late outside and Qin Xiao hadn't returned yet.

Jiang Tang stood up and went to the bathroom to turn on the water heater.

After the water was boiled, she went upstairs to get her pajamas and took the kid to take a bath first.

Qin Chuyang sat on the chair and swung his legs, looking at Jiang Tang, "Sister-in-law, why hasn't my brother come back yet?"

Jiang Tang sighed softly, "Brother will be back a little later, sister-in-law can take Chuyang to bed first."

The young man immediately shook his head and said, "I won't sleep. I'll stay with my sister-in-law and wait for my brother to come back."

Jiang Tang looked into the boy's big eyes and nodded slightly.

Hold the kid in your arms and wait for Qin Xiao to come back.

The little guy was still young and couldn't hold on any longer. After a while, his little head was about to fall asleep.

Jiang Tang didn't wake the kid up. Instead, he lifted his arms and held him in his arms, letting him lie on his lap, gently patting him to sleep.

It was already late at night when Jiang Tang heard the noise outside the yard. She picked up the little guy with great effort, walked out of the kitchen, and opened the door for Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao walked in with a frosty look on his face, and his eyes softened when he saw Jiang Tang holding the kid in front of him.

Jiang Tang turned around and went to the kitchen, and Qin Xiao closed the door behind him.

He went to the stove and warmed himself up before taking Qin Chuyang from Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang brought the pot and gave him a bowl of clear soup noodles.

The boy was awakened by the noise. When he opened his eyes, he saw his brother holding him. He said in a soft and surprised voice, "Brother, you're back."

Qin Xiao stroked the boy's eyes with his big hand and made him close them again, "Well, go to sleep."

The little guy fell asleep again obediently, sleeping soundly in Qin Xiao's arms.

Qin Xiao carried his younger brother up to the second floor and only went downstairs after coaxing him to sleep.

Jiang Tang cooked two bowls of clear soup noodles, handed them to Qin Xiao, and ate one bowl himself.

He whispered, "How is it going?"

Qin Xiao's voice was filled with coldness. "They are both trying to evade each other and refuse to plead guilty. Tomorrow the police will conduct an inspection to find evidence and will also arrange for someone to examine the missing girl."

"If you refuse to plead guilty, you will be dead after the investigation."

Jiang Tang nodded. Since the police have already intervened, it is only a matter of time before they find out the truth.

She looked at Qin Xiao, "Do we need to cooperate with the investigation?"

Qin Xiao stared at the little girl and nodded, "Yeah."

"Go there early tomorrow morning, cooperate with the interrogation, and tell the truth."

Jiang Tang was silent, staring at the man in front of him, and responded softly.

"Qin Xiao, will Li Shunqin's relationship with you affect you?"

Qin Xiao shook his head slightly, "No."

"Don't worry."

Jiang Tang breathed a sigh of relief. She felt relieved after hearing Qin Xiao say that.

After the couple finished their meal, they went to bed.

The next morning, Qin Xiao took Jiang Tang and Qin Chuyang to the Public Security Bureau.

After being interviewed and questioned, Jiang Tang was able to leave the police station.

Not long after she came out, Qin Xiao also came out. Jiang Tang held Qin Xiao and said softly, "Qin Xiao, are you okay?"

Li Shunqin is now a suspect. She doesn't know whether the man with dark circles under his eyes feels bad or he really doesn't care at all.

Qin Xiao turned to look at the little girl and raised his hands in front of her.

Jiang Tang took a look and put her hand into the man's palm.

His voice was low and hoarse. "Whether it's her fault or not, even if it looks like supervision is inadequate, she should stay for a while."

"I often wonder if she would have been a little sad if Qin Chuyang and I hadn't made it through."

Qin Xiao held the little girl's hand tightly and sneered, "Now I know."

There is no sadness, only blame-shifting and avoidance of responsibility.

However, he held the warmth in his hands tightly, and squeezed it in his palms. Since he had the little girl, he no longer cared about it.

Now I just recognize more clearly the other party's cold-blooded selfishness.

He held Jiang Tang's hand and walked back, while Jiang Tang held Qin Chuyang's hand and followed behind the tall man.

The family of three left the Public Security Bureau and walked away step by step.

After returning home and sitting in front of the stove, Qin Chuyang looked at Jiang Tang, blinking his big eyes.

"Sister-in-law, they are so proud?"

Jiang Tang tilted his head, "What's so cool about that?"

Qin Chuyang gestured with his hands, "They all wear the same clothes, very impressive."

The kid was talking about the police. Jiang Tang touched the kid's little face.

"They are here to catch bad guys. Don't do bad things after Chuyang comes. They will catch anyone who does bad things."

The young man looked longingly, "Just like when Chuyang helped his sister-in-law catch the bad guys?"

Jiang Tang smiled and nodded, "It's the same and different. If Chuyang encounters bad guys in the future, you can hand him over to them."

The boy nodded, not quite understanding.

…

It was nearly two weeks since Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao worked together to take the statement.

Qin Xiao came back, stared at the little girl, and said hoarsely, "The matter has come to an end."

Jiang Tang quickly stood up from the stove, walked to Qin Xiao, and pulled his arm, "What's going on?"

Qin Xiao said in a low voice, "Li Shunqin's poor supervision constitutes negligence, and she will be detained for six months."

"Her husband was convicted of premeditated murder, and his previous criminal record for robbery and theft will lead to his execution by firing squad at a later date."

Jiang Tang's lips moved slightly, "So, it was Li Shunqin's husband who deliberately threw the child at the door."

Qin Xiao raised his hands and hugged the person tightly in his arms, his voice low and hoarse, "Well, the situation is even worse. The child was thrown out for one night and soaked in cold water the next day."

Jiang Tang grabbed Qin Xiao's clothes, his eyes were swollen, and he couldn't help but shed big tears.

"How can you be so cruel? She is so young."

Qin Xiao raised his hand and gently stroked the little girl in his arms, his throat rolling, "Li Shunqin gave birth to a girl, and her husband didn't like it. In order to let us pity the child, he didn't care about the child's life or death."

If you are alive, you can blame them; if you die, you can blame the hospital.

Such a scum deserves to die a thousand times, but Jiang Tang just can't help thinking about that little girl.

She grabbed Qin Xiao's clothes and cried, "Qin Xiao, if we had compromised and given them money..."

It won’t be like this if it happens or not.

Qin Xiao lowered his head and rested his forehead against the little girl's head. "We are right, Jiang Tang. Greedy people have endless desires. We can never satisfy them even once."

Compromising once will only whet one's appetite like a bottomless pit, and the final result will not change.

The rough big hand gently stroked the little girl's tear-stained face, "Don't cry."

Jiang Tang swallowed hard, trying to control his emotions. "I... I know, I was just thinking about the one in ten thousand possibility."

She buried her head in Qin Xiao's arms, "It's okay, they all paid the price, I'm just a little sad."

Qin Xiao hugged the little girl, letting her tears wet his clothes on his chest. The little girl's sobs made his heart ache.
