Lin Bieli and the others stopped upon hearing this and turned around to give her a definite answer.
"Yes, but you'll have to wait until you're feeling better."
"Lin Bieli, can I have a private chat with you for a few minutes?"
Mo Yan looked at the others before slowly speaking.
"Of course, you two can continue your conversation. We'll head out now."
The captain left with his men, not because they were unreasonable—if it were just a minor injury, they could have covered it up. But those were the belongings of over a dozen people, chopped into mincemeat; how could they possibly ignore it?
"What do you want to say to me?" Lin Bieli suddenly became a little nervous. His eyes, when he looked at Mo Yan, held not only heartache but also other emotions.
"In her case, she should be able to apply for legal aid, right? After being abused for so long, she would have been mentally unstable long ago, wouldn't she?"
Everyone must respect the law, because the law is the most basic moral bottom line.
Without this bottom line, anyone can kill at will; if I don't like you, I'll kill you.
If I kill you for wronging me, wouldn't society descend into chaos?
However, given how mentally unstable that woman is, applying for legal aid would be appropriate.
Lin Bieli's eyes lit up, her gaze radiating light as she looked at Mo Yan. "You're right, we'll apply for legal aid for her. Even if she ends up in jail, it won't be for long. Mo Yan, you really... have surprised me so much."
Mo Yan is like a treasure; you never know how many surprises she will bring you.
"I just feel sorry for her child."
They said they would wait a couple of days before going to see Mo Yan, but Lin Bieli came over the next day.
"She tried to commit suicide, but was stopped. Do you want to go and see her?"
Mo Yan nodded and slowly stood up. "Then let's go take a look."
"There's one more thing," Lin Bieli said, somewhat embarrassed to say it aloud. "That boss is your biological father. He wants to see you, saying he'll only be willing to confess after seeing you. Could you go see him with me?"
Mo Yan was surprised that the old man wanted to see her, but it also seemed to make sense.
"Then let's meet. I think I can be discharged now. I want to go home. I want to go back to my baby."
Lin Bieli: "!!!"
Lin Bieli's eyes widened, and she looked at Mo Yan in disbelief and shock. "You have a child?"
Lin Bieli thought that the two of them had a good working relationship, that they had a good understanding of each other since the day they met, and even felt that the two of them might be together.
but……
"Yes, I have a child. Otherwise, how could I have so much courage? It's all for the sake of going back to see him."
Mo Yan walked to Lin Bieli's side, looked up into his eyes, though she hadn't really looked at him closely yet.
"Lin Bieli, don't love me, it won't end well."
Lin Bieli: "..." Why does this suddenly feel so heartbreaking?
"I..." Lin Bieli's face turned bright red. He felt extremely sad, but also a little nervous. When he finally composed himself and tried to make amends, he found that Mo Yan had already walked out of the ward and was looking at him.
Why aren't you hurrying up?
Lin Bieli: "..."
"Slow down, your injury hasn't healed yet."
Mo Yan deserves a lot of credit this time, and she will receive a bonus after her medical expenses are reimbursed.
"It's okay, I'm fine now."
In the detention center, Mo Yan saw that woman again.
This time I finally saw her clearly; she was a woman who looked very gentle.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that she would do something so crazy.
People are driven to madness when they are driven to the point of having no other way out.
"Her name is Xiaocao (Little Grass)."
This is what Lin Bieli said while looking at Xiaocao: "Now, no matter who talks to her, she doesn't say anything. It's like she's immersed in her own world. No matter how you call her, she won't speak. Last night, she tried to run herself over, but she was found and saved."
"Little grass".
Mo Yan looked at Xiao Cao and called out her name.
The little grass finally focused its gaze and immediately looked over.
"You've arrived?"
She remembered this woman; it was this woman who had beaten those beasts to the ground, allowing her to take revenge herself.
"I came to see you and also to ask where you live. I'd like to come and look after your child."
Hearing this, her eyes lit up, and she ran over to look at Mo Yan. "Really? I'm afraid I won't be able to go back."
"How could you not be able to go back? You were abused, which is why you became mentally unstable. You couldn't control yourself back then. You will be able to go back in the future. Your child is still waiting for you to come home."
Think about it, what will happen to your child if you don't go back? Do you want her to be seen as a motherless child? Do you want her to have a stepmother who doesn't feed or clothe her, and ultimately uses her as a tool to make money?
"No, I don't want to!"
Xiaocao shook her head firmly. After hearing about the child, she no longer wanted to die; only by living could she go home.
“I want my child to be well. I live in Daliushu Village, Qianjin County. Please help me take a look. My child’s name is Liu Fei.”
"Okay, I'll go check it out for you. You need to cooperate fully with the investigation. You're mentally unstable and can't control yourself, understand?"
Although Xiaocao didn't understand why Moyan would say that, she obediently replied, "Okay, I understand. May I know your name?"
"My name is Mo Yan."
Mo Yan.
Mo Yan.
The little grass kept this name deep in its heart, telling itself that it could never forget it.
This is the person who pulled her out of the abyss.
This is her benefactor.
"I'm actually scared. I'm scared of what those people will say. I haven't been back for so long. Maybe the man already has a wife. Maybe I've become a slut in everyone's eyes."
"You are not. If you don't respect yourself, who will respect you? As long as you can respect yourself, what do other people matter?"
In this world, no one is more noble than anyone else; we are all just trying to make a living. It's just that some people live very well, some live averagely, and some live poorly, but ultimately, it all comes down to this: we all strive in this world simply to survive.
How you choose to live is your choice. When you live better than them, they will only look up to you and naturally dare not say anything against you.
We don't steal or rob; we live an upright life. What's wrong with us?
Mo Yan's words brought tears to Xiao Cao's eyes. It turned out everyone was the same; everyone was just trying to survive.
"I see."
"I'm leaving now. When I get back, I'll go see your daughter, Liu Fei. I'll remember that."
"Yes." Xiaocao's voice was a little choked up. "I will cooperate. I will tell them everything I know. I will go back. I will go back to find my child."
"I trust you."
Mo Yan nodded, her gaze filled with trust.
At that moment, Xiaocao felt that there was hope in her life.
