"It's okay for our company to help take care of them for a while, but what about the next step? We can't always take care of them, right?"

Xu Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't expect that catching a thief would lead to big trouble. If he had known this, he might as well have let him go directly!

"Don't worry, wait until they calm down, and then we will try to persuade them. After all, it's impossible for a woman like her to support three children. If it doesn't work, it won't be too late to notify the Children's Bureau then."

"Why not notify directly?" Xu Dong asked in confusion.

Officer Sun shook his head: "The recent actions of the Children's Bureau have been a bit excessive, causing a lot of conflicts and causing some bad effects in society.

This period is very sensitive, and the higher-ups don't want to add fuel to the fire, especially don't want to cause...

The bureau is now helpless and in a dilemma. Our director said that this matter must be handled in a low-key manner no matter what."

"Then there must be a time limit, right?"

"How about a month? By then, the storm will definitely be over, and if you come to deal with it, you don't have to worry about getting in the way."

Xu Dong was still very cautious. Before making a decision, he specifically asked for the opinion of Section Chief Li. He agreed only after Section Chief Li nodded.

Next, under the leadership of Zhang Zhensong, the group came to a sewer entrance on Qianmen Street.

After opening the manhole cover, it was not as dirty and cramped as imagined, but unusually cool and clean.

In fact, it is easy to understand. Since the drought broke out, the weather has been unusually dry, and coupled with the extinction of rats and insects, the living environment in the sewer is not as bad as everyone imagines.

Moreover, Yanjing had just carried out a round of maintenance and expansion of the city's sewers a few years ago. Sewers like the one where Zhang Zhensong's family lived were extremely spacious, and it was no problem to drive a car down there.

"Chief Xu, do you want to come together?" Officer Sun asked.

Xu Dong hurriedly shook his head: "No, I'll wait for you up there."

"Okay, we'll go down first."

"Be careful!" Xu Dong reminded.

Officer Sun smiled and said: "Don't worry, we often go down the sewers, and it's not as dangerous as you think."

At present, the entire capital area has a population of about 100 million, of which at least a million or even more cannot get temporary residence permits.

These people cannot afford to rent a house, and most of them can only live in the sewers.

They are figuratively called "rat tribe".

This is not only the slums of the capital, but also the blind spot of urban security, and the General Administration is also a headache.

But it is impossible to prohibit it blindly. After all, housing is a rigid demand, and in the end, it can only be tacitly accepted that this place exists.

The only thing they could do was to do a good job of identity registration and send people to patrol regularly, but the sewers were too complicated and they couldn't cover everything.

Half an hour later, Officer Sun brought Zhang Zhensong's wife and children up. The four of them wore eye masks and were generally stable.

In addition, they were carrying a bunch of broken luggage.

"Chief Xu, I'll leave the people to you."

Xu Dong nodded.

After Officer Sun and others left, he arranged for Xiao Xiao to help the child's mother, and he and Datou and others directly picked up the three children.

He had just called his subordinates over.

Xu Dong was holding a little girl of seven or eight years old in his arms. The child was really thin and light. He felt that he was holding a handful of bones.

However, although the little girl was wearing tattered clothes and smelled very strong, she was very polite and just said "thank you" to him.

Back to the north gate, Chief Li also came over.

"Uncle Li, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Xu Dong asked quickly.

"I have agreed with the canteen that the mother of the child will go there to do odd jobs and provide three meals a day for the four of them. As for the three children, let the mother take care of them herself!"

"Where will they live?" Xu Dong asked.

Section Chief Li waved his hand: "There are still vacant dormitories inside the company. You can take them there directly and try to find a double dormitory for them."

"Okay."

We got some leftovers from the canteen. After eating, they buffered for more than a novel. The four of them finally took off their blindfolds. It was the first time that Xu Dong saw the four of them.

The mother of the child looked very old. Her whole face was really skinny. The three children were similar. They were seriously malnourished.

"Hey, what's your name, big sister?"

"My name is Li Yanyi. This is my eldest child. She is 11 years old this year. Her name is Zhang Xuan." Li Yanyi introduced.

Xu Dong reached out and touched the back of the child's head. This girl was the one he had brought over personally before, but he didn't expect the child to be three years older than he estimated.

"This is the second child, Zhang Hui, 8 years old this year. The last one is the third child, 5 years old this year, a boy, named Zhang Han."

"Then I will call you Sister Li. Sister Li, where are you from?" Xu Dong tried to get closer.

"Jinzhou."

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to say more, Xu Dong stopped asking questions and took the four people directly to the company dormitory.

"Sister Li, you can live here for the time being!"

"Thank you." Li Yanyi said softly.

"Thank you uncle." Zhang Xuan and Zhang Hui followed.

Xu Dong put down the tattered luggage in his hand:

"Don't thank me, Sister Li, you should have a good rest tonight, and I will take you to the company cafeteria tomorrow morning. You will work there from now on, and you will get paid at the end of the month, and you can also eat in the cafeteria."

"What should we do with Zhang Xuan?" Li Yanyi asked nervously. She was very afraid that the children would leave her sight.

"The canteen is not busy. You can take them with you. Just pay attention to safety."

"Thank you."

"There is a bathroom in the dormitory. You can take a good shower at night." Xu Dong reminded that the canteen is a place for cooking after all, and hygiene is a must.

Li Yanyi nodded.

"At 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening, the big head who was in the guard room just now will come to deliver dinner to you. You can open the door for him at that time."

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. I have said everything I should say here. Do you have any other questions?"

Li Yanyi hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Chief Xu, when will my husband be able to come out?"

"I don't know about this either. Don't worry. I will ask about the situation for you later." Xu Dong said perfunctorily.

At present, the market price of any mobile phone is tens of thousands of yuan. Zhang Zhensong will not be able to come out if he does not stay in jail for a few years.

But he couldn't say that. If the other party couldn't get over it, it would be troublesome. He hated trouble the most.

"Sorry to bother you, Chief Xu."

Xu Dong waved his hand, "No, do you have anything else to do?"

"No." Li Yanyi shook her head.

"Okay, you guys take a good rest, I'm leaving first, see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!"

"Goodbye, uncle!"
