CHAPTER 58: CHAPTER 58: LITTLE BOY (2)

Captain Ma had already run over by this time, he quietly asked Lin Xiaoyan what had happened.

He Qi’an led the silent man beside him to leave with Director Zhao.

As the man passed by Lin Xiaoyan, he gently patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don’t cry. If anything happens, find the police. They will solve everything for you!"

Lin Xiaoyan stared blankly at the man.

The man looked at Lin Xiaoyan’s dazed expression, the corners of his mouth tugged beneath his mask, and he walked away.

"Wa...wait!" Lin Xiaoyan called out to stop the man.

The man turned his head to look at Lin Xiaoyan, as He Qi’an also halted.

"It’s you!"

In the scene Lin Xiaoyan had just "seen", she recognized the man as the scarred man from before.

Evidently, he had been rescued last time, but...

Lin Xiaoyan looked gravely at the scarred man, "You’re... not safe yet."

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s words, the expression on the faces of the scarred man, He Qi’an, and Director Zhao turned serious.

He Qi’an walked back, said something to Captain Ma, and then took Lin Xiaoyan to Director Zhao’s office.

At this time, only the four of them were in the office.

Director Zhao looked urgently at Lin Xiaoyan, asking if Kong Xi was still in danger.

Kong Xi, the same as the scarred man.

This year, he was thirty-two years old. At twenty-five, he obeyed organizational orders to become an undercover agent.

It had been seven years by now.

This year, he was finally relieved, but...

Kong Xi looked gravely at Lin Xiaoyan, revealing a bitter smile, "I kind of guessed it, those people won’t let me go."

He Qi’an looked at Lin Xiaoyan, inquiring her.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Kong Xi, "I just saw that on your way home, you were spotted by a man in a red leather jacket, then captured at home..."

Hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s words, the expressions of the three present varied greatly.

Kong Xi’s expression was extremely tense, "Then what about my family..."

Lin Xiaoyan looked at him apologetically, "They were also taken away..."

Lin Xiaoyan didn’t continue, nor did Kong Xi and the others ask further.

The consequences of being taken away, they could naturally imagine.

Kong Xi looked painfully distressed, he wasn’t afraid to die!

But upon hearing his family was captured, his heart ached immensely.

When he chose this path, he had already prepared for everything.

Disconnecting from friends, family, girlfriend... everyone, everyone.

From the moment he became an undercover agent, there was no Kong Xi in this world!

Now that he was liberated from his undercover identity, he thought... he could return to his old life...

Wrong! He was wrong!

Director Zhao sighed deeply, his mood was extremely heavy.

He Qi’an watched Kong Xi, his eyes flickered, then looked at Lin Xiaoyan, "You should go to Captain Ma first to handle the child’s matter."

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at the agonizing Kong Xi, feeling deeply upset, she took a deep breath and left the place.

Leaving the office, she saw Captain Ma waiting not far away.

This morning, her mood was terrible.

Having consecutively witnessed the scenes of two people, both scenes were so... brutal.

Lin Xiaoyan experienced some psychological and physiological reactions, unable to help but vomit.

However, since she hadn’t eaten for a long time, she didn’t throw up anything.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyan vomiting, Captain Ma immediately asked her if she was okay and called Mao Hong to look after her.

He went out to buy food for Lin Xiaoyan.

Mao Hong helped Lin Xiaoyan to a seat, letting her sit down first, then fetched some hot water.

She also took out a small bun from her bag for Lin Xiaoyan to take a bite.

Lin Xiaoyan felt the discomfort in her stomach and waved her hand, refusing Mao Hong’s kindness.

"It’s okay, this is my psychological issue."

She looked around, trying to distract herself.

Because whenever she stopped and closed her eyes, the images of the abused child and the captured Kong Xi filled her mind...

Li He, who was nearby, heard Lin Xiaoyan’s words and called the team psychologist to come over.

Wang Run quickly arrived; of course, he had heard of Lin Xiaoyan’s reputation.

He saw Lin Xiaoyan’s pale face and her nervous, anxious expression as she scanned the surroundings, understanding her condition.

"Hello, I’m Wang Run, nice to meet you."

Wang Run sat in front of Lin Xiaoyan and chatted with her.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the young, gentle police officer and patiently answered his questions.

Gradually, through the conversation, Lin Xiaoyan’s heart started to relax.

Her expression softened, and she even smiled when hearing something amusing.

Captain Ma brought breakfast back and, seeing Wang Run there, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Lin, have breakfast first, talk after eating." Captain Ma placed the breakfast in front of Lin Xiaoyan.

Wang Run gently said, "Eat, you probably haven’t had dinner last night."

Lin Xiaoyan felt a bit embarrassed since there were many people in the office, eating...

"I’ll eat outside."

"No need, just eat here."

Others in the office also smiled and said it was okay.

Lin Xiaoyan reluctantly started eating.

After finishing the meal, Lin Xiaoyan felt much more stabilized emotionally.

"Let’s start."

Lin Xiaoyan took a deep breath and looked at Captain Ma beside her.

At that moment, everyone had nothing much to do, so upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan was about to start, everyone perked their ears to listen.

"This time, the person I came into contact with was a little boy not yet three years old."

Everyone: !!!

"Yesterday, on the high-speed train, that father and son were already there, and the boy had been crying for his mom the entire journey.

Some people in the carriage suspected him of being a trafficker, but after confirmation by the train police, he was indeed the child’s biological father."

"According to the man, he was divorced from the child’s mother..."

"...When I touched the child’s hand, I saw the child being beaten and abused alternately by his father and that woman, presumably his stepmother..."

Lin Xiaoyan recalled those scenes, tears falling once again.

Mao Hong, who also had children, felt deeply upset as she listened.

She took out tissues to give to Lin Xiaoyan, also using some herself to wipe her tears.

"That woman even incited her own child to bully the little boy; they beat him, hitting him awake even when he was asleep...

If he cried, he’d be beaten more...

They wouldn’t feed him; the child scavenged trash bins for food, and after eating, he’d obediently put things back into the bin, not daring to make a mess for fear of more beatings...

The last scene..."

Lin Xiaoyan spoke with a heavy nasal tone, "...He was beaten into a coma, never to wake again...

His internal organs were ruptured; by the time he was sent to the hospital, his belly was swollen near transparency, his eye sockets swollen, veins bulging... not a single uninjured spot on his body...

The marks of beating... scars from biting... burn marks from cigarette butts..."

"Damn! They’re absolute beasts!!!" Li He couldn’t hold back and cursed.

After Lin Xiaoyan finished speaking, her mood was extremely low.
