Rose Manor

Hearing this, the taxi driver pricked up his ears.

The voice on the radio continued: "The woman is about 27 or 28 years old, with long hair, a thin body, and a scar on the back of her hand. The child is half a year old, wearing a white sweatshirt, light blue overalls with a baby elephant pattern, and A dark blue woolen hat, wrapped in a blue and white plaid fleece blanket. Once again, if there are passengers in the car who meet these characteristics, please be sure to call the police, there will be a heavy reward, there will be a heavy reward!"

Repeating "There will be heavy rewards" several times was enough to mobilize the enthusiasm of the drivers.

"Is this the child of a wealthy family who was taken away?" the driver muttered, "these human traffickers are so hateful, they are so heartless."

The two people in the back seat listened to the content on the radio and did not dare to express their anger.

The driver glanced in the rearview mirror and saw a man and a woman sitting in the back. The man was a little older, over fifty years old, and the woman seemed to be less than thirty years old. She was wearing a hat with the brim of her hat lowered. I can't see her face clearly, but I can see that she is thin. The man was holding a child in his arms, and the child happened to be wrapped in a blue and white plaid quilt. As for what kind of clothes the child was wearing, it was hard to tell because it was wrapped too tightly.

Withdrawing his gaze, the driver pondered secretly for a while, then glanced twice in the rearview mirror with probing eyes.

The two people didn't say a word after getting in the car. They looked very nervous, especially the man. It was unusual for him to sweat so much on his forehead in the cold weather...

The child's bag was matched with one of the messages on the radio.

The driver's mind spun around, his eyes widened suddenly, and his voice trembled: "Brother, you guys..."

"You, don't just sit down when you catch a passenger holding a child." Yin Chengde was so nervous that he took over the topic before the driver finished speaking. He pretended to be calm and pulled away the child's blanket, revealing the baby's clothes. The clothes were a light gray corduroy jacket. "Xiaobao is my grandson, not the child mentioned on the radio."

Fortunately, Yin Shuyao had the foresight to change the child's clothes.

The driver was dubious: "Looking at your accent, you're not from here."

Yin Chengde sweated in his palms. Yin Shuyao, who was next to him, was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and reveal his flaws, so he said first, "We are from Yicheng, and we brought our children to Beicheng for medical treatment."

Yin Shuyao said this to arouse the driver's sympathy and dispel his suspicion.

"Oh, that's it." The driver felt guilty and apologized quickly, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood. What disease does the child have?"

Yin Shuyao lowered her head, as if she was sad, but in fact she didn't want people to see her face. And her hands were always hidden between her legs, not daring to be exposed.

Fu Jichen probably checked the hospital's surveillance system and discovered the scar on the back of her hand.

This wound was accidentally made half a month ago. It was not protected well at the time and became inflamed, leaving scars.

Yin Shuyao calmly pulled down her sleeves to cover the back of her hands, and answered the driver in a low voice: "I had a heart problem when I was born. I have been seeking medical treatment everywhere for the past few months."

Hearing this, the driver became more and more sympathetic, and sighed: "Heart disease is not easy to cure... But then again, there are so many famous hospitals in Beicheng, there will always be a way, don't be too discouraged."

"Hey." Yin Chengde didn't listen to what the driver said at all. He responded casually, wiped his sweat, and prayed that this journey would pass quickly.

Unfortunately, the little guy sleeping in his arms suddenly started crying.

The sound of "Wow" made Yin Chengde tremble in fright. Yin Shuyao's expression on the side also changed.

Yin Chengde threw the child to Yin Shuyao like a hot potato: "Hurry and see if Xiaobao is hungry."

Yin Shuyao looked irritated. Her original plan was to only help Yin Chengde get Shen Jianian's child, and then rely on Yin Chengde himself. I don't know where there was a deviation, but things developed to this point, which was completely beyond her expectations.

She had not been able to keep the two children she had conceived. She had no experience in raising children. When she heard the baby's cry, she was a little at a loss.

After being stunned for a few seconds, she covered the scars on the back of her hands, while holding the child and rocking it gently, she coaxed: "Don't cry anymore, don't cry anymore...Mom is here."

The child opened his mouth and cried.

"Is the child hungry?" The driver looked in the rearview mirror frequently.

Yin Shuyao's expression froze for a moment. She only remembered to change the children's clothes to avoid being tracked by others. After all, she had never been a mother and did not remember to bring milk powder or other things.

"It's hard to get an expert account. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to bring it with me." Yin Shuyao tried her best to sound natural, "How about you leave us on the roadside and I'll go to the supermarket to buy a can so that the children don't starve."

The driver responded, found a supermarket, and pulled over. Yin Shuyao got out of the car with her child in her arms. After thinking about it, she still felt that it was not safe enough and said to the driver, "You can leave first. We need to buy some other things, so we don't have to wait."

"It doesn't matter. No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you." The driver is a warm-hearted person. It's not easy for them to see them, and he always wants to provide more help. "I have to send you somewhere, right?"

"No need really, we still have things to do." Yin Shuyao squinted and gave Yin Chengde a look.

Yin Chengde understood her instructions, immediately paid the fare, and helped close the door. Not forgetting to act as an honest and simple person, he bent down and waved to the driver: "Thank you, brother."

The fact that the child kept crying like this attracted too much attention. Yin Shuyao turned around and handed the child to Yin Chengde, and said patiently: "I'm going to the supermarket."

Boss Yin Chengde reluctantly reached out and took the child.

Yin Shuyao turned around and went to the supermarket. Naturally, she had no sympathy for Shen Jianian's child. She took a can of milk powder and a milk bottle from the shelf, made a bottle of milk with the free hot water provided in the supermarket, and gave it to the child. drink.

The child refused to drink, his head was shaking, and his mouth was unwilling to even touch the bottle.

"You little brat, you're so picky." Yin Shuyao lost his patience and glared at the child fiercely, "If you don't drink, I'll buy a sleeping pill and stuff it in your mouth!"

The child cried louder, and people passing by looked back three times with appraising eyes.

"Don't talk nonsense in public. You don't think you are attracting enough attention now!" Yin Chengde scolded her and looked down at the child, "If the child is crying, he is either hungry or has diarrhea. Open the diaper and take a look. , is it pulled?"

Yin Shuyao: "Why don't you read it yourself?"

Yin Chengde suppressed his anger, sat on the tiles beside the flower bed, put the child on his lap, took a look at the diaper, and frowned: "Look, I just said it was a poop. Can you buy the diaper?" Are you wet?"

Yin Shuyao almost laughed out of anger: "You understand, I'm not here to be a nanny for Shen Jianian's children. Have you forgotten your plan?"

"I haven't forgotten." Yin Chengde gritted his teeth, tensing and relaxing his facial muscles, "This child can't make any mistakes, otherwise Fu Jichen won't let it go. I just want money and don't want other troubles to arise. Now the police have intervened. Well, things are trickier than I thought."

Yin Shuyao went to the supermarket again and was prompted by Yin Chengde to buy paper towels and diapers.

After changing the baby's diaper, he immediately stopped crying.

The police received the latest tip that a taxi driver reported that there were two suspicious passengers in the car with a child who looked like he was half a year old.

The police attach great importance to it and ask the driver to be more specific.

The driver told what he saw and heard: "It was a man in his fifties and a woman in her thirties with a child. The child looked to be several months old, and he was wrapped in a blanket. It was blue and white. Their accents were not from the locals. They said they came from Yicheng to treat the child. I asked what disease the child had, and they said the child had a heart problem. The child cried loudly. He was strong and didn't look like he had a heart problem. What puzzled me the most was that the child started crying in the car and they all acted panicked. The woman even said she had forgotten to bring milk powder when she went out and wanted to buy some in the supermarket. can. I thought about the fact that my child is so young and would usually bring milk powder with me no matter how rushed I go out. Even if I really forget to bring it, I can just find a place to breastfeed. Why would my first reaction be to buy milk powder? Of course, I don’t know what mine is. I guess I’m right, I just think it’s a little abnormal…”

"Thank you for the clues. Where are they now?"

"They got off the bus at the entrance of Demei Supermarket on Huanyang Road." The driver hissed, "Speaking of this, their destination when they got on the bus was Xinzhou Garden. I said I would wait for them. But they don’t want to ride in the car anymore.”

"Is there a recorder in the car?"

"Yes." The driver said, "Our company requires it."

The police obtained the video in the car and based on the comparison of characteristics, confirmed that the child held by the man and woman was Fu Jichen's son, and immediately sent people to the address mentioned by the driver.

Fu Jichen continued to watch the video with Shen Jianian. The woman did not show her face during the whole process, and the older man wore a black mask, only showing a pair of eyes.

Shen Jianian felt that those eyes were a bit familiar, so he repeatedly pulled the progress bar to go back and look at one of the frames.

"I know who they are." Shen Jianian's eyes suddenly narrowed as he stared at the screen.

Fu Jichen also recognized them at this moment. The two looked at each other and said the names of the two people almost at the same time: "Yin Chengde and Yin Shuyao."

Previously, only Yin Shuyao was monitored in the hospital. Her face was disguised and she wore a mask, making it difficult to identify her. There were two people in the video provided by the driver. Yin Chengde's identity was confirmed, and it was not difficult to guess who the other one was, even though she did not show her face. (End of chapter)
