Doctor Qiu wanted to say something else but was called away. The family sends packages here every month, but do they know those things never actually reach their child’s stomach? Do they even guess what kind of days their child endures? Yunyi thought. Yet, when everyone finished tidying up and left work, Guo Shuiyu still hadn’t come over. Today was Yunyi’s shift. She had just gotten her meal and returned when she remembered there was a child in the ward with no one to look after him. Previously, Yunyi had asked Doctor Qiu if someone should go to the Zhang Family to call for someone. Doctor Qiu waved his hand dismissively. "No need. It’s not the first or second time the child has been left here. Zhang Chunshan works at the regiment. When this month’s list of charges on their account comes out, the finance department will make a direct deduction. These matters are beyond our control." Since Doctor Qiu had said so, she naturally didn’t press the issue. But now, mealtime had passed, and still, nobody from the Zhang Family had come. The thought that he was just a child stirred compassion in her. Looking at the lunch box in her hand, she walked towards the back ward. The child was quite clever. After changing his clothes, he had covered himself with the quilt from the hospital bed. He then took the thin, damp blanket he had been using before, flipped it over, and spread it on top of the quilt, ensuring the dampness wouldn’t reach him. The child was handsome, with distinct features and long eyelashes. However, perhaps because he had been in the water for too long, he was curled up, looking pitiable. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel•fire.net Yunyi gently nudged the child. "Anyi, come on, get up and eat something." Guo Anyi groggily opened his eyes. It took him a while to come around, and then he asked, "Where is my aunt?" Yunyi genuinely didn’t have the heart to tell him his aunt still hadn’t come, but she didn’t want to lie to him either. "She might be busy and might come later. You should eat something first, or your body won’t hold up." Falling into the water in this weather and not developing a fever shows his constitution is good, but there’s no guarantee he won’t get one tonight. And if he doesn’t eat, the consequences are unthinkable. Guo Anyi looked at the lunch box in Yunyi’s hand but didn’t move. "No, thank you. My aunt will definitely come." Yunyi did not expect him to refuse. She didn’t persuade him further; instead, she nodded at him and turned to leave the ward with the lunch box. After leaving, she returned to her office and stored the lunch box in her space, ensuring it would still be hot when she took it out later. She then took out her own pre-prepared meal from her space and began to eat. It’s been several days since I last saw Huo Jingrui, Meanwhile, the man she was thinking about was currently discussing an action plan with the Public Security officers he was coordinating with. Just then, someone ran in. "Chief Cai, Commander Huo, there’s a situation." The two men looked over in unison. "What’s happened?" The person seemed embarrassed. "We fell for their diversion tactic; the child was thrown into the water." Before he could finish, they both exclaimed in unison, "What about the child? Is he all right?" The person hurriedly explained, "The child is fine. He was rescued by passers-by and has been returned to the Zhang Family. Guo Shuiyu had a fight with the Zhang Family’s eldest daughter-in-law and sent the child to Hua’an Farm Reclamation Clinic." Hearing ’Hua’an Farm Reclamation Clinic,’ Huo Jingrui became anxious. "What’s the situation now? Is someone keeping watch over there?" "When I left, Liao Rui was already on guard there. I was afraid someone might act tonight, so I came back to request reinforcements." Chief Cai looked at Huo Jingrui. "It seems our movements have been discovered. Those people are desperate now, and I fear they’ll recklessly harm the child." Huo Jingrui stared at the map on the table. "It looks like we can’t wait any longer. They’re cornered now. They probably intend to use Guo Anyi to deal a final blow to Old Guo." Chief Cai’s expression was grave. "If we move tonight, we might not be able to catch the big fish behind this. It may become difficult to find them later." Huo Jingrui sighed. "But we can’t gamble with the lives of Old Guo and his grandson." After a silence, Chief Cai nodded. "You’re right. We can’t disappoint the Guo Family any further." Soon, Public Security and the county’s Armed Forces Department coordinated once again. Teams of officers rushed towards their respective mission areas and targets under the cover of night.
