Xiao Liu nodded subtly to his wife, Liu Xiaoqing, who was relieved. She didn't want to sleep, but childbirth was exhausting, and she soon fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Liu didn't sit by the bed the whole time. Instead, after his wife fell asleep, he pretended to lie down on the bed and sleep, with his other hand on the small bed next to him.
If it were someone else, they might actually fall asleep while lying down, but Xiao Liu and his team have undergone all sorts of training. They could do it even if asked to lie there all day without sleeping.
So two hours later, when the entire hospital was asleep, the couple opened their eyes. In the moonlight, they looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.
Then, the couple quietly got out of bed and tiptoed toward the Liu family's location. Just as the man reached out to pick up little Liu, little Liu, who had been pretending to sleep on the bed, suddenly grabbed the man's hand.
"Guards! Someone's stealing a child!"
In the middle of the night, the quiet hospital was startled by his loud shout. Whether it was the sleepy medical staff or the pregnant parents who had fallen into a deep sleep, no one could sleep at all now.
"What? Kidnapping? Where?"
"Qiangzi, hurry up and check if our child is still there!"
Suddenly, the entire obstetrics and gynecology department was in chaos.
The nurse heard the noise and ran over. After checking several wards, she finally found the Liu family's house. By then, Xiao Liu had already subdued the man.
"Comrade, please call the police. This couple is trying to steal my son."
The man was being restrained, cold sweat beading on his forehead. "No, I didn't."
He can't admit it, he absolutely can't admit it, or he's finished.
What he didn't know was that from the moment he and his wife started plotting against Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu never intended to let him go. Moreover, once someone like that has such a thought, they might do it a second or third time, so he had to learn a lesson.
"No? If you didn't, why would you come to my child's place? Did I drag you here to harm you?"
"Yes, it was you who harmed me. My wife offended your wife this afternoon, and you held a grudge and wanted to harm me."
Although that's what he said, his eyes darted left and right, revealing that he couldn't lie at all.
The nurse knew something was wrong as soon as she saw where the group was standing. She also knew that the couple who had been arrested were very unhappy with their newborn daughter, so it wasn't impossible that they would try to steal someone else's son.
"I'm going to call the police right now."
The hospital also has its own security. By the time the police arrived, the couple had already been taken into custody by the hospital's security personnel.
"I didn't, I didn't steal the child."
After inspecting the scene, the police asked directly, "If you didn't plan to steal the child and run away, where were you going in the middle of the night packing your things?"
“We want to go home. Yes, my wife doesn’t like staying in the hospital, so we want to go home.”
Looking at the package lying near the door and the baby girl still in her place, Xiao Liu said sarcastically, "You two are really something. It's one thing to come home in the middle of the night, but you don't even seem to have any intention of taking your daughter back with you. Is that how it is?"
"That's right. His wife's gaze towards my son was off this afternoon. And the couple only want a boy, they don't want a girl at all, so they want to steal my son back to raise him."
By this time, the ward was completely packed with other patients and their families, and they were all pointing and whispering about the couple.
“I know about this. When she came, her mother-in-law said that there were already three girls in the family. If this baby is another girl, everything in the house will belong to her husband’s older brother.”
“I happened to run into them in the bathroom when they came out after giving birth. The two of them were extremely disgusted with their daughter, saying that the child had taken the place of their son, which was why they couldn’t have a boy. I think it’s possible that they stole someone else’s baby boy.”
......
The situation was getting worse and worse for them, so the woman collapsed to the ground. “God! Look at this! These people are really not letting us live. I’m already pitiful enough because I don’t have a son and my in-laws are bullying me, but they, they even accused me of stealing a child. I, I might as well just kill myself.”
She tried to break free from the police's control and bang her head against the wall, but of course, all of this was just an act. She hadn't given birth to a son for her husband yet, and she couldn't die, otherwise even her ancestors in the underworld wouldn't let her go.
"Go ahead and crash if you dare. If you can't have a son, steal from someone else. If you get caught, commit suicide to escape punishment. You can only use these tricks in the village. You think you can threaten our fair and just police officers? No way!"
Liu Xiaoqing is quite skilled with words; with just a few sentences, she flattered the police officer and exposed the woman's intentions.
"That's right. What's there to be afraid of if we haven't done it? The police will definitely find out the truth. There's no need to bang our heads against the wall."
"Don't you understand? You're definitely feeling guilty."
Just then, the other couple in the ward spoke up.
“Officer, when I opened my eyes after hearing the voice, he was there. It wasn’t this officer who dragged him there to frame him.”
"Yes, and his hand was reaching towards the crib. If they didn't want to steal the child, why would they reach into someone else's crib in the middle of the night? It was just that this comrade was alert today. If he had been sleeping as soundly as us, we wouldn't know where the child would have been when he woke up."
The couple wholeheartedly supported Xiao Liu and his wife, not because they held a grudge or wanted to harm them, but because they were simply stating the facts of what they had seen.
“You’ve framed us too, just because I said you felt sorry for your daughter being silly? I apologize to you, please don’t hurt us anymore.”
No matter what they said, they were taken away. As for the poor child, the hospital will take care of him, and they will be sent back after the situation is clarified at dawn.
Although the person had been sent away, Liu Xiaoqing and her husband couldn't sleep all night. When Liu's mother came to bring breakfast, she saw that they both had dark circles under their eyes.
"Xiao Qing, what's wrong with you two? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Liu Xiaoqing angrily recounted what had happened last night, "If Sister An'an hadn't reminded me, the child might have really been stolen by those two."
Liu's mother never expected such an outrageous thing to happen to her own family. "You bastards, they should be glad that the police took them away first, otherwise I would have made your dad and your brother come and beat them to death."
Xiao Liu's lips twitched; his wife's family really were violent.
"Oh! You're such a lucky kid, you've found a wonderful older sister. I'll get things ready for you later. I really have to thank An'an for this."
