“Woo, I want to go home, I want my mother, I want to go home.” A girl cried, and the other children also cried.
Shen Qinglan looked at the group of crying children with a confused face. She stood there and looked helplessly at Fu Hengyi. Fu Hengyi pulled Shen Qinglan out. The police who followed went in and took the children out one by one. The last one who was carried out was Doudou, still asleep.
“Master Fu, we don’t know the situation of these children yet. We need to take them back first and then find a way to contact their families.” The director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau said to Fu Hengyi.
“We know who the parents of this child are, can you hand him over to us?” Shen Qinglan pointed at Doudou and said.
The police chief already knew that the young girl in front of him had cooperated with them in solving this major child trafficking case, so he was naturally very polite to Shen Qinglan, “Of course, but we need to register the details first.”
“This child should have been fed some drugs, he hasn’t woken up yet, let’s take him to the hospital for a check-up first.” Shen Qinglan suggested.
The director of the Public Security Bureau nodded in agreement.
Fu Hengyi and Shen Qinglan followed at the end. Before leaving, Shen Qinglan’s eyes stayed in the room where the children were detained for a moment, and then she left with Fu Hengyi.
What happened next had nothing to do with them. After sending the child to the hospital for examination, it was found that he had just been given some sleeping pills and would be fine by tomorrow. Shen Qinglan was relieved and asked the police to call the child’s parents.
Shen Qinglan and Fu Hengyi never left. When the child’s parents arrived, Shen Qinglan discovered that there were slap marks on the young mother’s face and some bruises on her eyes. Her eyes stayed on the child’s father for a second, her eyes looking very cold.
“Thank you. Thank you so much today.” The young mother hugged her lost child tightly and kept bowing to the police.
The police pointed in the direction of Fu Hengyi and Shen Qinglan and said something. The young mother walked over and bowed deeply to them, “Thank you for helping me find my son. Thank you.”
Shen Qinglan stepped forward and helped her up, “I accept your thanks. It’s too late now. Take the child back quickly.”
The young mother had already recognized Shen Qinglan as the girl who helped her at the playground and she became even more grateful.
“Remember to watch your child when you go out from now on and don’t play with your mobile phone. Some grievances can be tolerated, but some grievances cannot be tolerated. If you don’t love yourself anymore, why should others love you?” Before Shen Qinglan left, she said in the woman’s ear so that only the woman could hear it.
The woman was startled, and her tears suddenly fell down. She pressed her face tightly against the child’s body and cried silently.
Fu Hengyi was driving the car on the way back. Shen Qinglan remained silent. Fu Hengyi glanced sideways at her, “What’s wrong? Are you in a bad mood after seeing those children today?”
Shen Qinglan nodded, “Fu Hengyi, do you know?? When I was a child, I was taken away by someone like this. The man covered my mouth with a handkerchief, and I fell asleep. When I woke up, I was in a small dark room with many children there, they were all caught by human traffickers. I was very scared when I woke up, I would cry, and I wanted my parents to come to save me, but until the end, they didn’t come…”
Shen Qinglan talked about the people abducted with her during that time in the past, her tone was very calm, as if she was telling someone else’s story, but there was sadness hidden in her eyes. The car had stopped at the roadside at some point. Then Fu Hengyi unbuckled his seat belt and held her in his arms. “Those things have passed, don’t think about it.”
Shen Qinglan buried her head in Fu Hengyi’s arms, her voice muffled, “Fu Hengyi, I am not a good person, I used to…” be a killer. The last four words were drowned in Fu Hengyi’s sudden kiss.
His kiss was gentle and comforting. Shen Qinglan’s irritable heart gradually calmed down tonight. Fu Hengyi let go of her and looked into her eyes, “I don’t care what you have experienced in the past or who you are. I only know that you are my wife now and will be my only wife in the future.”
Shen Qinglan looked at him steadily, her eyes trembling slightly, “Fu Hengyi, if my past is in opposition to your military duties. Than what will you do?”
Fu Hengyi’s heart trembled slightly, and he sighed silently in his heart, looking at the fear hidden in her eyes, “Qinglan, that is just your past, a life you could not choose. I have always known that you are so kind and soft, Qinglan, believe me and believe in yourself.”
Her tears fell silently, and Fu Hengyi’s eyes flashed with distress, then he reached out to gently wipe away the tears on her face. This was the second time he saw her cry. The first time she cried was in the rain forest. He could vaguely guess Shen Qinglan’s past identity, but what he didn’t tell her was that as a soldier of the special forces, his hands were never as clean as she thought.
He had his own beliefs and his own responsibilities, but these beliefs and responsibilities had never been opposed to his love for her and his desire to protect her. Some people may say that he was selfish, but if a man could not even protect the woman he loved, then how could he protect others and defend the country?
“Qinglan, don’t cry, I feel sad when I see your tears.” Fu Hengyi said softly, and his rough fingertips brushed against her cheek, causing a slight itch.
Shen Qinglan looked at Fu Hengyi steadily, “Fu Hengyi, thank you.” Thank you so much to God for allowing me to meet you.
Fu Hengyi chuckled, “Fool, I am your husband and the person who wants to spend his life with you. You never have to say thank you to me.”
Shen Qinglan raised the corner of her mouth and smiled at Fu Hengyi.
“Is there anything special about the watch on my hand?” Fu Hengyi raised his wrist and exposed the watch in front of Shen Qinglan.
“There is a small tracker in your watch that matches the watch on my hand. As long as I turn on the button switch, we can sense each other within a certain range.” Shen Qinglan explained, without any intention of hiding anything.
“How far is a certain range?”
“It can accurately locate within two hundred meters, and it can only roughly determine within one thousand meters. It basically loses its effect beyond one thousand meters. Its biggest function is to avoid detection by detectors. The security is very high, so the range is not very large.” Actually speaking, the range of only two hundred meters was a bit useless.
“How did you get this thing? Is it made by your friend like the positioning device?”
Shen Qinglan nodded, “She likes to study these things and often does weird things. I don’t want to follow you, it’s just…”
Fu Hengyi chuckled, “I know, I will always carry it.”
Shen Qinglan looked at him deeply and said nothing, but her eyes were full of smiles.
The next day, the news about child abduction was not reported in the newspapers. In fact, it was not reported until a week later. Based on the clues provided by those people, the police successfully found the lair of this group of people, more than 100 criminal suspects were arrested, and more than 50 abducted children were rescued. Many of them had even been sold and were now being searched for based on the confessions provided by the criminal suspects.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately shocked the whole country. The news also praised Shen Qinglan and Fu Hengyi for their rescue actions, but did not mention their names and appearances.
When Mr. Shen saw the news, he didn’t think of his granddaughter. He only found out about it after the director of the Public Security Department personally called Mr. Shen to express his gratitude.
So when Shen Qinglan returned to Shen family house for dinner, she was called to the study by Mr. Shen, “Grandpa, what’s wrong with you?” Shen Qinglan asked softly when she saw that the old man was just looking at her but not speaking.
“Are you injured?” Mr. Shen asked gently.
Shen Qinglan didn’t react. Then Mr. Shen said the word news. Shen Qinglan understood immediately and shook his head, “Grandpa, I’m fine. I was just responsible for tracking them.”
“You, always rush forward when there is danger. Your own safety, have you forgotten about it?” Mr. Shen said reproachfully, but his tone did not contain the slightest reproach.
“Grandpa, you personally taught me my skills, so you still don’t trust me?” Shen Qinglan said softly.
Mr. Shen smiled helplessly and warned, “Don’t be so impulsive next time, you know?”
“What, Shen Qinglan, are you taking risks again?” Shen Junyu, who came up to ask them to eat, exploded when he heard this.
“What are you shouting for?” Mr. Shen shouted in a deep voice, “Be careful that your mother hears it.”
Seeing the effects of psychotherapy slowly coming out, Chu Yunrong couldn’t stand the stimulation now. Who knew what would happen after this stimulation.
Shen Junyu stopped speaking, but his eyes lit up when he looked at Shen Qinglan, “Shen Qinglan, do you know who those people are? They are all human traffickers, people who don’t care about others’ lives. Have you ever thought about your own safety before confronting them head-on? Regarding your own safety, what did I tell you last time? Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?”
“Brother, Fu Hengyi was with me, and I didn’t do anything to them at all.” Shen Qinglan explained.
Shen Junyu looked at her with a foxy look, “Really?”
“Really.” Shen Qinglan said with certainty, and did not say anything about her racing on the street. Because there was a reason for this incident, the traffic police did not say anything, although online some videos had been circulated, but even if they came forward, they had been suppressed.
Shen Junyu was relieved. He could trust Fu Hengyi’s skills. It was just a piece of cake for him to deal with a few traffickers.
“That’s good. Remember from now on, you will leave such dangerous matters to Fu Hengyi, he is a man.” Shen Junyu said it matter-of-factly, completely forgetting that Fu Hengyi was his brother who grew up with him.
“Grandpa, the day after tomorrow is grandma’s birthday. I want to see grandma.” Shen Qinglan said in a low voice.
The expressions on the faces of Mr. Shen and Shen Junyu changed slightly. Mr. Shen nodded, “Well, go ahead, grandpa will go with you.”
Because Li Xitong left the orchestra, Chu Yunrong, who had originally planned to rest at home, started to get busy again, so she flew abroad early the next morning, thus the only people who went to Grandma Shen’s birthday ceremony were Shen Junyu, Shen Qinglan and Mr. Shen.
Grandma Shen’s tombstone was in a cemetery in the south of the capital. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers and had excellent feng shui. Grandma Shen’s tombstone was on the hillside, and you could see a small flower field at the foot of the mountain. The scenery was extremely beautiful. Her tombstone was often cleaned, so it was very clean.
Shen Qinglan held a bouquet of gardenias in her hand. She bought them from flower shops all over the capital. She placed the flowers in front of Grandma Shen’s grave and looked at the loving old woman smiling in the photo on the tombstone. There was a moment of trance before Shen Qinglan’s eyes.
“Grandma, I’m here to see you.” Shen Qinglan spoke softly, with a slight smile on her lips.
Shen Junyu and Mr. Shen stood beside her but did not speak. Shen Qinglan also remained silent after saying this.
“You guys go down first, I’ll talk to your grandma here.” Mr. Shen looked at his wife’s tombstone and spoke.
Shen Junyu and Shen Qinglan looked at each other and silently walked down the mountain.
Mr. Shen sat down in front of Grandma Shen’s tombstone and carefully wiped the tombstone with his sleeves. “Old lady, I came to see you. How are you doing alone there? Something happened at home recently. Li Xitong has left. She has nothing to do with our Shen family anymore…”
Mr. Shen whispered about all that had happened recently, his eyes full of deep nostalgia, “Old lady, Lan Lan is fine and happy now. You don’t need to worry about her anymore. The relationship between her and Yunrong has also improved a lot, and now Yunrong is becoming more and more like a mother…”
The wind blew and a leaf fell, and it happened to fall on Grandma Shen’s tombstone. Mr. Shen picked the leaf, “Old woman, after you left, I don’t even have anyone to talk to.”
