CHAPTER 62: CHAPTER 62: LITTLE BOY (PART 3)

The house allocated by the Special Investigation Bureau is very close to both the bureau and the police station.

Lin Xiaoyan had so few belongings that she managed to move everything in just half a day.

Looking at the brand-new and empty house, Lin Xiaoyan felt incredibly excited.

Although the house is not currently in her name, she can stay there with peace of mind!

No worries about rent, or about the landlord raising the rent or anything...

In the evening, Lin Xiaoyan bought a lot of groceries, cooked herself, and invited Yang Lin and He Qi’an, who helped her move, to dinner.

At night, lying in bed, Lin Xiaoyan still felt a sense of disbelief.

She looked at the unfamiliar room and the strange scenes outside the window, her heart still brimming with excitement.

In the following days, Lin Xiaoyan went to the Special Investigation Bureau every day for psychological treatment.

Police Station

"Damn! Those two are worse than pigs and dogs!!!"

Ning Xuan walked into the police station with a furious face, swearing angrily.

"What happened?"

The people in the office looked at Ning Xuan, puzzled.

Ning Xuan took a big gulp of water, trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

"I’ve been following that little boy Xiao Lin mentioned before for the past few days. I’ve been watching his house for three days, and that kid... I, damn it..."

As Ning Xuan spoke, he couldn’t help but want to curse.

Captain Ma frowned at Ning Xuan and sternly said, "Watch your language!

As a police officer, you should know that dealing with any case, the most taboo thing is to carry personal emotions!"

Warned by Captain Ma, Ning Xuan took a deep breath and apologized to Captain Ma.

But...

Ning Xuan reported to Captain Ma all the photos he had taken and the things he had seen and learned over the past few days.

"Smack!"

When Captain Ma saw the slap marks on that child’s face, and how he was forced to stand under the blazing sun in long sleeves and pants, sweating profusely...

Captain Ma couldn’t hold back and snapped the pen in his hand.

The rest of the office heard about the boy’s current situation.

They had previously heard Lin Xiaoyan’s account firsthand.

And now, seeing for themselves what the child had endured...

Damn it!!!

Who could endure this!

Captain Ma’s face turned red with anger, and he asked, "Have you contacted the child’s biological mother?"

Li He stood up, "We just got hold of her this morning. Because the child was taken away, the mother couldn’t accept it and fell ill, staying in the hospital all this time. We only managed to contact her this morning."

Captain Ma nodded, "Inform her about the situation and have her come to Sea City as soon as possible."

"Okay, Captain."

Li He quickly contacted the child’s mother.

Captain Ma looked at Ning Xuan, "Keep an eye on that place, and if the child..."

At this point, Captain Ma paused, "Ensure the child’s safety."

The laws and regulations of Hua Country have many provisions. As police officers, there are many things they cannot intervene in or are powerless to do.

Hearing Captain Ma’s words, Ning Xuan paused and then nodded.

...

"Mom, meat! Meat!"

"Okay, mom will make you some meat to eat."

"Honey, go out and get some ribs, we’ll stew some ribs for the baby tonight..."

"Okay, okay, I’m going now!"

A family, if you only listen to the sounds and just see the interactions, it seems like a happy family.

However, in the corner, the boy watched eagerly as they talked and laughed together.

He touched his rumbling stomach, not knowing how long it had been since he had a hot meal.

His stomach ached, and his body hurt.

He missed his mom’s steamed eggs, his grandma’s cooked meat, and other things...

The woman’s son, hearing his mom mention making meat, happily ran up to the boy.

He raised his hand and hit the boy on the head, "No meat for you! No meat for you..."

The boy whimpered in pain, wanting to dodge, but any movement made his whole body hurt, so much that he wanted to cry.

The woman came over and saw her son hitting the boy, a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

"Darling, are you tired? Take a break, mom will get you some fruit."

"Okay!"

The man went out to buy groceries, and as he passed the two boys, he glanced at the child on the ground, left without a word.

At night, once everyone had eaten their fill, the woman walked over to the boy.

"Get up and wash the dishes. If they’re not clean, you’ll be in trouble!"

The boy lay curled up on the ground, crying, feeling deeply wronged.

The woman’s annoyance only grew when she heard the boy’s cries.

"Wah... Mom..."

"Still trying to hide? Stand still and don’t move!"

Nearby, the woman’s child, hearing the commotion, ran over excitedly, yelling "hit," and then searched around the house.

From among his toys, he took out a small shovel and ran towards the boy.

"Boo hoo... Mom... I want my mom... Mom... Mom..."

Hearing the boy’s cries, the man, just back from smoking outside, coldly ordered, "Shut up! Stop crying!"

The neighbors upstairs and downstairs, hearing the cries, shook their heads.

"What’s with this family? Why has it been so noisy these days?"

"There they go again! It’s so annoying! I’ll complain to the property management tomorrow!"

"Can’t get any rest!"

Hearing the upstairs shouting, the woman stopped and turned back inside.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, the house fell silent.

The boy opened his eyes, wiping the drying tears from his face.

He slowly got up, carefully glancing towards the bedroom, terrified that someone inside might hear him.

He waited for a long time before staggering a couple of steps.

After just a couple of steps, he squatted down; his whole body hurt terribly.

Finally, making his way to the kitchen trash can, he skillfully fished for food inside. It didn’t matter what it was, as long as it was edible, he’d eat it!

He was just too hungry.

After eating, he cautiously moved to the sink.

Due to his height, he couldn’t reach the faucet, so he slowly turned, struggling to lift a small stool and gently placed it on the ground.

Forcing back tears, he climbed onto the stool, turned on the faucet, and drank the water with his cold little hands...

The next day at noon, a disheveled woman rushed into the police station.

"Hello, I’m Li Zixuan’s mother. A policeman contacted me yesterday morning..."

The woman’s eyes were swollen, tears streaming non-stop, her voice hoarse, and she looked at the police in the hall anxiously.

The two police officers in the hall immediately knew that this was the mother of that little boy.

One officer quickly stood up and led the woman inside.

"Captain Ma, Li Zixuan’s mother is here."

Captain Ma and everyone in the office saw Xuanxuan’s mother, their hearts filling with anticipation; she had finally come!

Captain Ma had the boy’s mother sit down and began to slowly explain the boy’s recent situations.

Hearing her son’s experiences, the woman couldn’t help but break down, cursing endlessly at the wicked couple.

Mao Hong continually comforted the woman from the side.

Once the woman calmed down a bit, he said, "Due to certain regulations, we can’t take action to save the child.

There needs to be a report for us to act."

Hearing this, the woman understood and immediately said, "I’ll report it! I want to report it!"
