Su Yutan quickly denied, “No! The police told me not to tell anyone. Really!”
“Police?”
“Yes! This is what they told me. They will protect me, you don"t have to worry about it. I… I just ask you to protect the little dove! You must protect the little dove! She is so small…” She wanted to stay calm and didn"t want to cry, but she couldn"t control herself.
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan frowned, “Looks like your trouble is not small.”
Su Yutan didn"t want to say anything more, and said goodbye directly, “That"s it! I still have something to do… goodbye!”
After hanging up the phone, she collapsed on the bed, curled up into a ball, and tears fell down.
She cried for a long time before she felt better.
She got up from the bed, sat down in front of the dresser, took out a sketchbook and a pencil from the drawer, and began to clear her mind.
Was this pervert someone she knew or someone she didn"t?
After thinking about it, she felt that both situations were possible.
He may pretend to be a good person and sway around her all day.
He may also be like a mouse, hiding in a corner and sneaking on her.
In particular,the hostage-taking incident video had been widely circulated on the Internet and was seen by many people.
Did anyone get “interested” in her after watching the video?
So, if she knew this person, was it a recent encounter or they had known each other for a long time. But that person had only recently "ordered" to traffic her.
Anything was possible.
After scribbling and writing on the paper for a while, she found that she could not even ignore the list of suspects.
She was irritated, and tore the sketch paper to pieces and tossed it in the dustbin.
She laid on the dresser, touching the clean but somewhat mottled paint of the dresser. She was strangled by an unusually strong sense of loneliness.
“Dad, how good would you be if you were alive?” She muttered to herself, “It"s really hard living alone in this world!”
This dresser was one of her father"s few relics.
That year, her adoptive mother accompanied her through the thrift market, only to find a rocking chair and a dressing table.
That rocking chair was in her studio. This dresser had been in her bedroom all the time.
Whenever the ring couldn"t help her restrain her emotions, she would lie on the dresser like this, tracing the mottled paint with her fingertips and seeking a little comfort.
Being distressed, Milo told her again through the smart headset, “Mr. Qiao w.a.n.gchuan is here. He said that he is the technical adviser to the Earth Alliance"s Public Safety Department. I have checked his credentials and Police Officer Yue Yueming also confirmed his ident.i.ty. “
“Mr. Qiao?” Su Yutan sat upright all of a sudden. Only her hand was still on the dressing table.
She suddenly remembered that she never asked what was his occupation, nor did he take the initiative to tell her. The technical adviser to the Ministry of Public Security… This t.i.tle seemed impressive?
“Ask Mr. Qiao to come in!” She said to Milo.
She looked in the mirror of the dresser, adjusted her appearance a little, and went downstairs to see Qiao w.a.n.gchuan.
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan had already entered the door and was sitting in the living room with Yue Yueming.
Yue Yueming introduced Su Yutan to Qiao w.a.n.gchuan, and said, “We have just been informed by our superiors that Mr. Qiao w.a.n.gchuan will join the plan to protect you. And…” His face looked a little ugly, "On protecting you, we have to listen to Mr. Qiao"s arrangements.”
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan smiled at Su Yutan and said softly, “Can I talk to you alone?”
Su Yutan nodded gently, “Come with me to the second floor! My mother"s study room is quiet.”
There was a chaise longue in Dr. Song Yuning"s study room.
Su Yutan asked Qiao w.a.n.gchuan to sit on the sofa, then dragged the swivel chair behind the desk, and sat opposite Qiao w.a.n.gchuan.
“Miss Su, can you trust me now?” After sitting down, Qiao w.a.n.gchuan set aside the small box in his hand and asked Su Yutan seriously.
Su Yutan smiled slightly bitterly and said euphemistically, “Frankly, I don"t know who I can trust now, except for my old friends of many years.”
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan understood her meaning and asked, “What can I do to make you fully trust me?”
Su Yutan asked, “Why do you care if I trust you?”
“It"s about whether I can protect you.”
“Why would you protect me? Although we have a child, it is not legal or morally mine, and you have no obligation to protect me.”
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan sighed. His voice was a little low, “Because when the dove grows up, and when I take her to see you, I don"t want to take her to your tombstone."
“Or worse, you wouldn"t even have a tombstone. You would be living in an unknown place, tortured by a pervert.”
“Little dove will always be concerned about you, but she will never find the answer. This situation would be very tormenting, and I can"t bear her being tortured in this way.”
Su Yutan was silent.
She remembered her determination in the playground where she met Cui Linlin.
She thought at that time that she must work hard, live a serious life, and face her illness seriously.
She hoped to see her beautiful little dove coming to her one day and say “Hi”.
She also did not want the dove to see her tombstone when she became an adult.
The other situation that Qiao w.a.n.gchuan mentioned was even more terrifying.
Her head turned sore .
Did he automatically want to protect her because they had a child?
She felt strange but warm.
Qiao w.a.n.gchuan and she had already shared a special and strong connection. They were no longer as polite and formal as before.
She smiled softly, “Trust comes from knowing each other. What do you think?”
“What do you want to know?” Qiao w.a.n.gchuan calmly said, “I don"t like to talk about my personal affairs. So, if you want to know anything, please ask yourself. If I can answer, I will answer.”
