Chapter 40 The child with a missing ring finger, could he be the one
If she could destroy Xia Xian and put Wei Zhiwei in jail or execute him, she would really wake up laughing in her dreams. That bully Wei Zhiwei should have died long ago!
When Bai Lian thought about the suffering she had endured over the past few years, she couldn't help but want to cut Wei Zhiwei into pieces!
"Okay, then what do you want to do? Just tell me when the time comes, and I'll cooperate with you."
After hearing what she said, Kang Cuimei did not object but supported her. As expected, her parents were not much better as they could raise a shameless white lotus like Bai Lian.
Xia Xian didn't know that someone was secretly plotting against her. The butterfly's wings began to flutter, and everyone's movements were different from the previous life...
Director Mei is not seriously ill and was discharged today. When Xia Xian went to see her, she saw Zhong Yang taking good care of her. The couple seemed to be getting along much better.
Xia Xian went to help carry the things so that Uncle Zhong Yang could help Director Mei go back. The hospital was not far away, and they were afraid of bumping the wound if they rode a bicycle, so it would be better for them to walk back.
When Director Mei saw Xia Xian, she felt embarrassed and wanted to push her man away.
"It's not like I had surgery on my legs. I told you I don't need help. I can walk on my own."
"It's okay to get some help. What if you fall and get hurt? You're not afraid of the pain, but aren't you afraid of having to go back to the hospital and delay things?"
"Aren't those female comrades waiting for you to do ideological work on them? Don't you have a meeting coming up?"
Zhong Yang asked back, and it was unclear whether he was being sarcastic or just arguing with each other. Anyway, this was how the two of them got along over the years. Director Mei was not angry, but instead thought deeply about what he said, and thought it made sense, so he didn't say anything else.
She can't fall again and delay her work.
Xia Xian was laughing secretly on the side. Director Mei was such a strong person, she couldn't just give in to her in everything. Otherwise, she would really think she was invincible and wouldn't take care of her body.
As they were talking, a few older kids chased a child past them. The child was covered in dirt, and it was unclear whether he had fallen on the ground.
In a panic, he was about to stab Director Mei, but Zhong Yang was quick to dodge and said smugly as he dodged.
"Look, this is useful now. If I weren't here, you might have torn your wound."
The man's narcissism and arrogance began to show again. Director Mei was most annoyed by his narcissistic appearance, but seeing that he was taking good care of the children, she did not refute him, but instead scolded the children.
"What are you doing! Are you bullying me? Where are your parents? I'll go find them!"
The bullies are all ten years old, and the one being bullied looks only five or six years old. There is no way he can be a match for these kids. No wonder he was being chased.
"I'm not bullying anyone, I'm just joking!"
Some of the older children tried to make excuses.
Xia Xian couldn't bear it, so she hugged the child to her side and said seriously.
"Then I'm just joking with you guys. If you get caught by me, I'll beat you up!"
The child kept struggling in her arms. Xia Xian thought he was afraid, so she held him tighter and did not let him break free.
"Tsk, who wants to play with you? If you don't want to play, then don't play. Who wants to play with a little monster like this?"
Several older children pouted and ran away together, fearing that if they ran too late they would be caught and punished by Xia Xian and the others.
"Are you scared, kid?"
Seeing these naughty boys leave, Xia Xian squatted down and wanted to ask him how he was and where his home was, but she unexpectedly saw a pair of scary eyes.
Xia Xian's heart suddenly skipped a beat and her voice stopped abruptly.
Yes, scary. She didn't know why she used the word scary to describe the eyes of a five or six-year-old child, but his eyes were dark and fierce, with slanted irises and three white spots on the lower part of the eyes. It made people feel uncomfortable when looking at them, as if they were being stared at by a wolf.
The child ignored Xia Xian and pushed her away with force. Xia Xian was originally half squatting, and her posture was unstable and it was difficult for her to exert force, so she was pushed so hard by him that she actually fell backwards.
Xia Xian subconsciously wanted to hold him, but her hand slipped from his arm to her palm, and she failed to catch him, and he ran away.
As slippery as a loach.
"Why is this kid like this? We were kind enough to help him avoid being bullied by other kids, but he treated you like this. He is really a jerk who doesn't appreciate a good person's kindness! How did his family teach him?"
Director Mei became angry upon seeing this. If she hadn't been injured and couldn't move, she would have chased him and grabbed him, forcing him to come back and apologize.
"Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with kids nowadays, get up quickly."
While Zhong Yang agreed with Director Mei's words, he reached out to pull Xia Xian up. Xia Xian shook her head, patted her butt and got up.
She was still young, so the fall wasn't a big deal and it didn't hurt, but there were a few things she was concerned about.
"Director Mei, the child just now was wearing a glove on his right hand, right?"
She asked as if seeking confirmation.
"Yeah, I wouldn't have remembered it if you hadn't mentioned it. Why is he wearing gloves in such hot weather? Isn't he afraid of damaging them? The smell of sweat would kill people."
Director Mei was puzzled, but children of this age did not do things logically, so she continued.
"Maybe he brought it with him for fun. Once it got warm, he would know how to take it off."
No, it shouldn't be for playing or just brought along, because when she grabbed his hand just now, she seemed to feel that there were only four fingers, and one of the fingertips was empty!
And it's the right hand...
Coupled with the terrifying look in the child's eyes just now, she couldn't help but have a guess in her mind...
However, she was not sure whether the child was missing the ring finger.
"Xia Xian? What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in your thoughts. Let's go. A few brats can't cause any trouble. Just ignore them."
"Stay at our house for lunch. I'm so grateful to you for the past two days. If you hadn't dragged me to the hospital and registered an appointment for me to get checked, I don't know when I could have been diagnosed with this disease. You also paid for me and ran around for me. Thank you for your hard work."
"Don't say you won't go. If you don't go, you'll be giving the director no face."
Director Mei called Xia Xian back to her senses and invited her to her house for dinner, and Zhong Yang also joined in.
"I have to go. I've asked those little idiots at home to cook the rice. I just need to go back and cook."
It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so Xia Xian had to agree.
However, she kept thinking about the child while eating. She felt that it was impossible. The child was too young, and Quan Ruifeng had already captured several children who were related to Haiying. There shouldn't be any children who slipped through the net. It was also impossible for Haiying to harm so many children at once, as it would easily expose itself.
Maybe it was just a coincidence and she was just overthinking it.
But this is too coincidental...
Xia Xian was worried, so she decided to go and check it out after dinner!
