Chapter 1765: A Moment Of Life And Death (Part Ten)
Ye Yuwei, “…”
“Mommy, carry me,” Xi Xi called out as she tried to pull the baby.
Gu Juexi reached out and carried Xi Xi over. Xi Xi called out for her mommy to hug her, as though her mommy would become the mommy of another child when she hugged another child.
Ye Yuwei could only hand the baby over to Wen Shan and take the noisy Xi Xi from Gu Juexi. “How can you be so ruthless?”
“Mommy is mine,” Xi Xi claimed with a straight neck as she hugged Ye Yuwei’s neck tightly.
Qian Yikun handed the child over to Mo Fei. She was slightly shocked as she lowered her head and saw the child. However, she instinctively reached out to take the child and hugged it carefully in her embrace.
Ye Yuwei hugged Xi Xi and sat down next to Gu Juexi. “You are quite professional at hugging children.”
When Mo Fei heard this, she looked up at Ye Yuwei. After sitting down, Qian Yikun looked at Mo Fei intentionally too.
“Of course, what can’t this woman do?” Mo Fei replied smugly. Then, she lowered her eyes to look at the baby in her arms, and her brows furrowed.
Wen Shan carried the child awkwardly because she did not know how to hug him. After all, she had never hugged a child before.
Nalan Chunbo looked at her and whispered into her ear, “You’ll have to get used to this sooner or later.”
Wen Shan, “…”
This was awkward.
The way Wen Shan carried the child looked worlds apart from the way Mo Fei carried the child.
Qian Yikun watched silently without saying anything.
Ye Xicheng walked over and placed his small hand on Gu Juexi’s leg as he took the cup from Gu Juexi and drank from it.
Ye Yuwei reached out to touch the baby in Wen Shan’s arms and asked worriedly, “It’s almost the end of the year. The families who lost their children must be very anxious.”
If she lost Xi Xi or Xicheng, she would go crazy.
“Currently, we’re still investigating. We haven’t found their parents yet. We will try to find them as soon as possible. If we still can’t find them, we will check B City’s gene bank,” Qian Yikun explained.
“Who wouldn’t report their missing children?” Ye Yuwei was curious.
This was indeed a problem. Everyone would report a missing child, would they not?
Even the wealthy Ding family had reported the case.
“Perhaps some of the children are unexpected?” Mo Fei suddenly opened her mouth and said slowly. It was unclear whether she said this intentionally for them to hear.
Ye Yuwei s.h.i.+fted her gaze upward to look at Mo Fei. Mo Fei did not look up at her but looked down at the baby in her arms.
Ye Yuwei was about to open her mouth to tell Mo Fei that no child in this world was unexpected, but Gu Juexi spoke first. “Why don’t you just ask the human trafficker after you catch him?”
“The Bridge of Helplessness sent the babies to the entrance of the police station. Do you know that the Bridge of Helplessness ever only sent the children over and no one knows who he is, and no one knows how the children he saved disappeared in the first place,” Qian Yikun swirled the cup in front of him and said in a helpless tone.
Bridge of Helplessness?
Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juuxi curiously. The Bridge of Helplessness was Old Lady Meng[1]’s territory, was it not?
The Bridge of Helplessness was a good place. Gu Juexi looked at his son, who was standing by his legs. He reached out to pat his son’s head, but Ye Xicheng brushed him away with disdain.
“The children that were brought back by Bridge of Helplessness were cases where the police couldn’t do anything about. You don’t need to look at me like that—Yes, I’m talking about you guys,” Gu Juexi said coolly.
[1] Also known as Meng Po, she is a mythical being who stands by the Bridge of Helplessness and serves soup that wipes the memories of those getting reincarnated.
