"No, this can't just be left like this. I'm going to find the manager!"
Pei Songbai remained silent for a long time before finally managing to utter this sentence.
All three are executioners who tortured children. The man is already dead, but Yunmeng and her daughter must not be released.
Even Pei Songbai himself couldn't stand it, let alone Xia Wenhua, who hadn't yet emerged from the shadows.
If someone who harms a child can escape without any punishment, the father will be too ashamed to even look at his child.
Lin Xin, fearing he might act impulsively, quickly tried to persuade him.
“Songbai, we need to consider this matter carefully. Elder Yun is still here, so let's wait and see…”
"If we really have to wait, I'm afraid we'll never see the day when the bad guys are brought to justice."
The door behind her suddenly opened, and Xia Wenhua walked out with a cold face.
According to Pei Ying, this was the first time she had commented on external matters since committing the murder, so Pei Songbai quickly stepped forward.
"Wenhua, how are you?"
Xia Wenhua, who grew up under the red flag, never imagined that she would kill someone. Therefore, after the shooting, her mind was in a daze for a long time.
She knew she was killing bad people, but reason and emotion were always at odds.
The professor's professional competence was naturally beyond question, and Xia Wenhua herself was a very strong-willed person. With a little professional guidance, she quickly emerged from her confusion.
Psychological problems can be big or small; finding the right professional can yield obvious results.
Xia Wenhua smiled gently at Pei Songbai's concern.
"I'm fine now."
After she finished speaking, the old professor came out from inside.
His eyes were full of admiration as he looked at Xia Wenhua: "Comrade Xia is one of the few people I have ever met with a firm will. She knows exactly what she wants."
Even without me, Comrade Xia will have figured things out in a couple of days.
In fact, this was the consultation that required the least amount of effort from the old professor, as Xia Wenhua had her own protection mechanism.
Even though she found it hard to accept the fact that she had killed someone, she was still instinctively on guard when the old professor asked her for details.
Through self-defense and persuasion, Xia Wenhua finally woke up.
The old professor felt that he had no real purpose, and had only served as a trigger to provoke Xia Wenhua. He felt unworthy of the thanks from the group.
"Professor, you're too kind. Without you, I don't know how long it would have taken me to figure this out. You've been a great help to me."
In less than an hour, Xia Wenhua regained her usual composure.
She had a brief conversation with Lin Xin and learned that the old professor's current living conditions were not good, so she went out and bought him a few cans of malted milk powder.
"You've come here because you truly consider Lin Xin and us as your own people, so please don't stand on ceremony with us."
Lin Xin told us that your wife isn't in good health, so these are just a small token of our appreciation from us younger generation, meant to help her recover.
The old professor insisted that he was there to help Lin Xin and absolutely could not accept any payment.
After hearing Xia Wenhua's words and seeing the malted milk powder she handed him, he fell silent, which was unusual for him.
If Xia Wenhua wanted to thank him, he would never accept anything, no matter what it was offered.
Thinking of the hardships his wife had endured alongside him, and her current frail health, he wanted to refuse, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Xia Wenhua's smile was genuine as she revealed her purpose.
"Professor, we've come here to consult about our child's psychological issues. After the child is discharged from the hospital, we'll need your help to take a look at them personally."
After all, our child has suffered a great ordeal; we wouldn't feel at ease unless a professional like you took a look.
The old professor was stunned for a moment, and Xia Wenhua took the opportunity to stuff the malted milk powder into the old professor's hand.
"Thank you for taking good care of the child."
"You, a woman, really are..."
The items had already been handed to him, but Professor Wang, who was completely clueless about social etiquette, moved somewhat stiffly.
Xia Wenhua, who was completely bewildered when he entered the room, suddenly had his mind working so fast. He opened his mouth to comment, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Xia Wenhua's actions left the two men next to her completely stunned.
She didn't care what others thought and remained warm towards Professor Wang.
"It's our job to bother the professor, so it's only right that we do these things."
"It's all from our younger generation's heartfelt wishes, so please don't find it offensive."
Professor Wang, somewhat dazed by Xia Wenhua's enthusiasm, took the things and walked to the door. Just before leaving, he stopped.
"Talking too much can be deadly. The old man knows what he should and shouldn't say."
"Child... just call me if you need anything. I'll keep this a secret."
Professor Wang wasn't stupid; he understood Xia Wenhua's unspoken meaning.
In this lifetime, no one can truly be aloof.
This woman was no ordinary person, and the gift she gave him was exactly what he needed, so Professor Wang couldn't help but be moved.
He took the items, and naturally he would keep it a secret for Xia Wenhua.
After Professor Wang left, Lin Xin, who had never seen Xia Wenhua like this before, gave her a thumbs up.
"Sister Wenhua, you're amazing!"
He called her "sister" without any hesitation.
Because Yin Yu and Pei Songbai are close in age, they address Pei Songbai by his given name.
Later, Yin Yu changed her address to Sister Wenhua, which puzzled Lin Xin. This time, he truly understood Yin Yu's thoughts.
Xia Wenhua didn't mind Lin Xin's teasing. After seeing Professor Wang off, her attention returned to the issue they had been discussing at the beginning.
"What are your thoughts within the Public Security Bureau in Yunmeng? What's the current situation with those two?"
The best chance to kill Yun Wenxia and her mother would have been right after the child was rescued, but unfortunately, people can't always fight against unexpected situations.
Xia Wenhua couldn't overcome her psychological trauma on her own, and because Pei Songbai was taken away, she was afraid something would happen to him, so she shut herself off.
Now she's in a better position, but things are clearly more difficult to handle in Yunmeng than before.
Lin Xin gave a bitter smile: "The situation is very bad now. If I hadn't insisted so strongly, the mother and daughter would probably have already been released."
The military has strict rules and regulations, and everything must be thoroughly reviewed. Pei Songbai really couldn't understand the police station's bizarre practices.
"Why were they released? It's a fact that Yunmeng kidnapped the child, but the man's identity wasn't even verified. How can they release him now?"
Some of the confusion caused by special circumstances cannot be explained in just a few words.
Lin Xin's smile grew increasingly bitter: "The current conviction... if it is to be convicted, it will most likely be counter-revolutionary kidnapping. These two charges are equally important."
Huang Dacheng can completely refute the first point, and the second point cannot be verified at present.
The police may have made a somewhat ill-considered decision to release him, but it can't really be said that they made a mistake.
Special times have special rules.
Lin Xin had done his best, but that was all he could do.
Huang Dacheng and Elder Yun behind the Yun family are both insurmountable mountains in front of him.
