Li Jie didn't understand what was going on, but when she saw Linglong chasing after her, she started running too.
As she ran, she kept asking, "Linglong, what's going on?"
"Li Jie, she might have a problem."
In front, the woman holding the child ran faster.
When Hao Chunlei arrived after buying the tickets, she saw that both of her friends were gone, and she started to get anxious. "Where did they go without even telling me?"
She could only ask around with the people nearby, and luckily there was an auntie who brought some of her own things and sold them secretly and told her about it.
"I saw it. It seemed like it was chasing someone."
Now Hao Chunlei was even more confused. Chasing someone? What on earth was going on?
Linglong has been in good health since she was rejuvenated and joined the army. The food has been pretty good, and she cooks, washes vegetables and does other chores every day. Although Li Jie is a little fat, she is a soldier after all, so her physical fitness is also very good.
The woman in front was holding a baby, not a newborn. Linglong took a quick glance and thought the baby was about one year old.
After chasing for a while, the woman ran slower and slower.
Perhaps she felt Linglong and Li Jie approaching from behind. When they reached a corner, the woman threw the child she was holding to the ground and ran away.
Linglong hurried to check on the child. Li Jie paused and then followed her.
Linglong was afraid that the child might be hurt by the fall, so she took a closer look and saw that the child's face was red. When she touched the forehead, she found that the child had a fever.
Fortunately, he was wearing plenty of clothes, so it looked like he wasn't hurt at all from the fall.
She had just finished checking the child's condition when Li Jie came over with a look of regret on her face.
"I didn't catch him. I don't know where he's hiding."
"So what if we didn't catch him? The child has a fever. Let's take him to the doctor right away."
"Okay."
"Oh, by the way, I forgot about Chunlei."
"Well, let's go to the temple and ask Chunlei to go with us."
"good."
Linglong was also afraid that if she was left alone, the unknown woman would come and snatch the child away.
Could that person be a human trafficker?
Hao Chunlei waited anxiously at the entrance of the cinema, and finally her two friends came, with a child in their arms.
The most urgent thing, of course, was to take the child to see a doctor. She could only regretfully give the tickets she bought to a passerby, and the three of them hurried to the hospital.
After finding the nearest hospital, Li Jie went to see a doctor as soon as she entered.
The emergency doctor examined the little boy and frowned when he took his temperature.
"The child is already feverish, why did you send him here only now? This mother and father are so irresponsible. Who among you is the child's mother? When will the child start to have a fever?"
Holding the child, Linglong hurriedly explained, "We are not the ones who found the child."
"Ah!" The doctor looked at them with suspicion.
"Doctor, please help reduce his fever first." Linglong said anxiously.
"Okay, I'll give him an injection first."
After the injection, Linglong stayed by his side while Hao Chunlei and Li Jie went to find a washbasin and a towel, intending to cool the little guy down physically.
The doctor doubted their identities and remained silent.
"Where did the child pick up the trash?"
"Doctor, the truth is, there was a woman holding the child. I noticed the child looked unwell, so I asked her a few more questions. Then she ran off with the child. My friend and I chased after her, but when she saw we were about to catch up, she dropped the child and ran off. I suspect she's a human trafficker."
"Ah!" The doctor was surprised again.
To make her words more credible, Linglong introduced herself. "Doctor, the three of us are from the nearby military camp. We are all military families." She could barely be considered a member of the Tong family.
When the doctor heard that they were military dependents, his expression improved a little.
"Looks like we need to talk to Comrade Xi'an. Don't rush around. I'll go talk to Comrade Xi'an's security department and have them call the Security Bureau."
"Thank you so much, doctor."
"I think so."
Linglong now had the opportunity to take a closer look at the little fellow with a high fever.
To be honest, the little guy is fair and tender, has good facial features, and is very cute.
I don't know whose child this is. Now when I think about the woman who ran away, I feel more and more that she is not the child's parent.
When Hao Chunlei and the others came with the things and undressed the little guy to wipe him, they saw many bruises on his body, which made Linglong and the others feel distressed immediately.
"Who would do this? They're worse than animals."
"It's completely heartless."
"How could you do that?"
I went to find the doctor from the Security Department and he was also filled with indignation when he saw this.
For this reason, the doctor went back again and emphasized the matter to the comrades in the security department.
In addition to wiping the body to cool down, Linglong also borrowed a cotton swab from the doctor to moisten the little guy's lips.
Fortunately, the fever-reducing injection worked, and the little one's temperature gradually dropped, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Two comrades from the Public Security Bureau also came and asked about their specific situation. However, considering that the little one was still sick, the Public Security Bureau did not take them with them, but only registered Linglong and the others' information.
In fact, even if such a young child is brought up, Da'an will not be able to take care of him. He will probably have to seek help from a government aid agency, such as an orphanage or welfare home, to help take care of him.
As soon as Linglong and the others understood what was going on, they immediately decided to take the little guy to the military camp to be looked after first.
Once we find the little guy's family, we'll send him away.
After all the trouble they had for the child, by the time the little one's fever had completely subsided, it was already late and they had already missed the opportunity to get a ride home.
Finally, Li Jie called her father for help, and a car came to pick them up.
In the car, the three of them started discussing.
"Why don't you leave it at my house? I can take care of it. My house has a lot of space." Li Jie said.
As soon as they started talking, the little one woke up after sleeping for a long time.
Because Linglong was holding him, the first person he saw was Linglong. To their surprise, the little guy grabbed Linglong's clothes and pouted in grievance. "Mom."
Linglong's heart was melted by this baby voice.
Although she didn't know why the little guy called her mom, Linglong still gave him a gentle smile.
"May I have your name?"
"Congcong, mom, Congcong."
“It turns out to be Congcong.”
It was the first time for both Hao Chunlei and Li Jie to see Linglong so gentle.
I don’t know if it’s because they’re attracted to each other, but Congcong only wants Linglong and won’t let Hao Chunlei and Li Jie hug her.
Although Linglong liked Congcong very much, she thought that she had to go to work during the day and could not take care of the child. Now that Congcong was staying at the Tong family, she did not want to cause more trouble to the Tong family, so she planned to agree to let Li Jie bring Congcong home.
But looking at Congcong's current condition, it seems that she is the only one who can take the child away to take care of him.
Hao Chunlei and Li Jie had no objections, but they were worried that no one would take care of Congcong when she was at work during the day.
Worried about the child, they took Congcong to Li Tong's house first.
