Chapter 169 - Bodyguard? (1)
Once they had arrived at the police station, the cops took Shu Yan to point out the two kidnappers through a gla.s.s door, then made a simple report and she was free to go.
As luck would have it, it started pouring all of a sudden. Shu Yan, not having an umbrella with her and with the bus stop being a bit of a distance from where she was, had no choice but to wait around at the police station.
“If you like, I can give you a ride back when I am done over here.” They were not part of City Nan but there was a street that led straight to City Nan University and it’d only take half an hour to get there.
“No need. No need.” Shu Yan declined immediately. If she let the cop car take her back, she’d become very well known around her area within ten minutes. If she didn’t explain, people would think that she had committed some sort of a crime. If she did explain, what if the two kidnappers had other have others that they work with and wanted to retaliate? She has two children. What if they got dragged into this? She’d regret so much that she could die.
She waited for about an hour and the rain came down heavier and heavier. While Shu Yan was worrying about how she could get back, a group of people arrived and a comely woman was the first to come barging inside. Her hair was messy and she looked disheveled. Her eyes were swollen and she was crying, “The child. Where is my child?”
She grabbed a copy and asked, “I lost my child. I’ve heard that a kidnapped was arrested and there was a child with them. Is he my child? My child is a little boy, about this tall. He had on a blue set of sports outfits. Oh yes, he has a mole on his nose, right here.” The woman rambled on and gestured.
“Calm down and talk slowly. Take a deep breath.” The cop tried to comfort the woman.
“I a clam. I just miss my son. My Doudou is missing. I was cooking at home and he was playing outside the door. I turned around and he was gone. He’s… about this height.” She reached out her hand and gestured a height. “He had on a blue set of sport outfits and he has a mole on his nose. How was I so careless? Why did I bother cooking? So what if I skip a meal?” The woman suddenly slapped herself across her face.
The individuals following behind her started also started to cry. A couple who looked like the child’s grandparents looked very feeble, as though they could pa.s.s out at any time.
Suddenly, a man walked over with a cop and said, “Sister-in-law, I’ve just asked. It very likely can be Doudou.”
The voice sound very familiar. Shu Yan looked up and it was Feng Zeyu.
Feng Zeyu, too, noticed Shu Yan and was a bit surprised to see her there.
“The child is your nephew?” Shu Yan couldn"t help but asked when she saw that his face was covered in sweat.
“He’s the son of my comrade-in-arm. Why are you here?” asked Feng Zeyu.
“She’s the comrade who noticed something out of the ordinary and alerted the cops to save the child,” said a cop next to them.
The child’s mother recovered some and said, “Where’s the child? I want to see the child.”
“The child is running a fever so we took him to the hospital. We will take you to the hospital now to see if he is your son.” The cops were about to take them to the hospital.
Feng Zeyu took a few steps with them before he turned around and looked over at Shu Yan. “How you are getting back to City Nan?”
“I am fine.” Shu Yan waved her hand. “I’ll take a ride after the rain stops.”
“I am heading back to City Nan as well. Let me head to the hospital to check on the child first. Then you can ride back with me,” said Feng Zeyu in a very sincere voice.
Shu Yan took a look at the rain, hesitated for a little bit and said, “Okay then. Thank you.”
