"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"
"Be gentle, nurse, it hurts!"
The nurse was speechless. "You're a grown man, can't you just bear with it?"
"I can't take it anymore! Who can stand this?! I'm almost disfigured."
"…………"
Even Wang Ya couldn't bear to watch anymore. Her hand was broken and in a cast. "Comrade Song, the injury on your face will heal eventually, no matter how late you wait."
Song Anmin's leg was in a sling, and he had several scratches on his face. When he and Zhuo Huai arrived at the scene with the police car at noon, they only saw an empty car on the side of the road. They didn't know if Lei Liangpeng or Zheng Guangping had abandoned the car and fled. Judging from the traces at the scene, they might have switched cars at the last minute...
Just as Wang Ya and the others were about to continue their pursuit, Song Anmin, with his sharp eyes, spotted several figures flashing through the mountains—
After catching up with Lei Liangpeng, Song Anmin slipped and tumbled down the hillside while trying to catch him. Song Anmin, taking advantage of his size, kept pressing down on Lei Liangpeng, and he only broke his leg and will recover in a few months. Lei Liangpeng's condition is not optimistic; he hit his head on a rock and is currently undergoing surgery.
Thankfully, Chengcheng was unharmed, and Zhuo held her and cried all the way.
After they returned to the city, the police who had been chasing Zheng Guangping and the others also received news that all three of them and the child had been found.
Song Anmin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A short while later, Zhuo Huai brought Chengcheng to the ward.
"Sister Zhuo Huai, is Chengcheng alright?"
Zhuo Huai still looked haggard. "Are you alright? Is everyone alright?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
The police have already found out that after Chengcheng and Tongtong separated yesterday, Chengcheng walked towards home. On the way, she saw some little boys playing marbles, and she joined in for a few rounds. Later, a little girl joined in and played better than them. The girl even said she would take Chengcheng to get candy, so Chengcheng followed her and was then kidnapped into a van.
The little girl was also arrested. She was over fourteen years old and would be sent to a juvenile detention center.
Zhuo Huai's eyes were complicated: "Thank you so much this time. If you hadn't seen Lei Liangpeng and the others in time, we definitely wouldn't have found them yet."
Song Anmin felt really bad about it. "This whole thing happened because of me, Sister Zhuo Huai. Please don't blame me."
Zhuo Huai sighed, looked at the third brother, opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Song Anmin touched his nose.
Zhuo Huai then asked Wang Ya, "Officer Wang, are you alright?"
Wang Ya: "It's nothing, just a broken hand. It'll be fine after some rest."
These are all minor injuries.
Song Anmin then said, "Sister Zhuo Huai, could you please do me a favor later? Guo Guo must be terrified. Could you please check on her for me?"
When the topic came up again, Zhuo Huai hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Song Anmin, are you really going to adopt her?"
Song Anmin remained silent this time.
Zhuo Huai also felt that he shouldn't have said too much. In the end, he sighed deeply, told Chengcheng to thank Song Anmin, and then prepared to leave with the child.
"Oh, right, I'll bring you your food later."
Song Anmin quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no need. There's food at the hospital. I'll just eat whatever's available. You should spend more time with Chengcheng."
That's what they said. Zhuo Huai took Chengcheng back towards Heping Lane, planning to cook dinner and then bring Chengcheng back with him.
After Zhuo Huai left, Wang Ya couldn't help but ask Song Anmin.
“Song Anmin, if your family doesn’t agree, you can send him to an orphanage first, or the police station and community can ask if anyone wants to adopt him.”
Besides, Song Anmin has broken his leg, so it's inconvenient for him to raise a child.
I didn't feel comfortable leaving it with the fifth brother, and my uncle was busy, so I felt even more embarrassed to bring it back to the Song family.
Song Anmin remained silent for a moment; he was already overwhelmed with his own situation.
After a long pause, Song Anmin asked, "Is it reliable?"
Wang Ya: "It's all a matter of opinion."
Although Guoguo has a tragic background, not to mention her father who was a murderer, Zheng Guangping is now a human trafficker. Even if Song Anmin wanted to raise her, he would have to consider the reputation of the Song family.
Song Anmin put one hand to his forehead and sighed again.
Wang Ya: "What are you sighing about? Do you think you can adopt all the orphans in the world? You have to be realistic about your abilities. I heard from your neighbors that the contrast is too great; you've gone from being extremely evil to being 'extremely good' all of a sudden—"
Song Anmin's expression was indescribable. "Stop, don't say anymore."
Wang Ya shrugged, and soon the police came to call her, and she left quickly.
-
On his way back, Zhuo Huai ran into Song Xinfu. When Song Xinfu heard that the third son had only suffered a fracture, his expression relaxed slightly. He told Zhuo Huai not to bother cooking and that he would just buy some food for the third son later.
Zhuo Huai: "Okay, then I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and let them know."
Song Xinfu nodded and continued on to the hospital.
Song Anmin didn't expect his father to arrive so quickly. He looked at Song Xinfu with a sickly expression and called out, "Dad."
Song Xinfu, carrying a boxed lunch, asked, "How much longer do I need to continue this IV drip?"
"That's all, it'll be over soon."
Song Xinfu: "Then you can eat after you finish your IV drip."
Song Anmin glanced at his father's face, coughed lightly, and said, "Chengcheng has been found, and she's alright."
Song Xinfu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is Guoguo alright?"
"Oh, I heard from the police that everything is fine." Song Anmin glanced at Song Xinfu's expression again. "Dad, just say what you have to say."
Song Xinfu suddenly chuckled, "I have nothing to say."
Song Anmin was uneasy. After thinking for a moment, he simply told Wang Ya about her suggestion. Guo Guo was still at the police station. There was a policewoman in the household registration department whose child was about the same age. She brought some food to the station to feed her.
