From the very beginning, she knew that trouble would follow, so when she called the police, she simply mentioned that her child appeared to have been abducted and hoped that they could look into it.
The man seemed determined not to give her a chance to react and immediately moved on to the next question. “Did you sell your child to Li Cuihua before?”
Fu Qi, who was passing by, failed to hold onto his teacup. It spilled into the plate, catching everyone’s attention.
He quickly placed the items down and apologized, “I’m sorry, let me go get it fixed.”
The man’s eyes filled with hidden meaning fell back on Fu Yuling again. Her expression remained unchanged from the beginning, calm and composed.
“You must have made a mistake. I wanted to buy some clothes at that time and asked Li Cuihua for a loan. But it seems she misunderstood and imagined that I wanted to sell my child to her.”
“Later, my brother went to return the money to Li Cuihua and brought the child back.”
Fu Yuling turned her head and smiled at Fu Qi.
“Xiao Qi, it’s really thanks to you for bringing the child back. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known about this.”
The two police officers behind the man exchanged puzzled looks, clearly sensing something amiss.
However, others didn’t say anything.
Fu Qi’s eyebrows twitched slightly and he moved his lips, “Yes. After all, Xiao Xuan is my nephew.”
The man took the tea cup that Fu Qi handed him, and his eyes slowly moved from the teacup along his arm to his face. Fu Qi thought for a moment that he discovered that he was lying.
Just as Fu Qi was about to make a move to escape, Fu Yuling stood up and stood in front of him. She took the plate of the teacup from him and blocked the piercing gaze ahead.
“Xiao Qi, you go in and take care of Xiao An. I’ll handle the rest.”
Knowing that Fu Yuling was helping him conceal his panic, Fu Qi hummed and left.
He Xuan was still standing there, his big dark eyes staring curiously at the three unfamiliar men.
“Mom, who are they?”
Fu Yuling placed the items down and exuded a natural elegance with her every move. At a glance, one could tell that this woman had a unique charm.
Bending down, she gently touched his little head. At this moment, a genuine smile appeared in her eyes.
“The uncles are here to catch the bad guys.”
“Bad guys?”
He Xuan blinked his eyes and tugged at Fu Yuling’s clothes. “Are they the bad guys who took away my brother?”
“Yes! Xiaoxuan, you should learn from the uncles!”
Hearing this, the man also tugged at the corners of his mouth, trying to make his smile less serious.
“Serving the people is our duty.”
Fu Yuling naturally admired and respected them. But now that these people had started to suspect her, she felt a headache and a deep sense of unease.
Turning around to face the man, she resumed her calm demeanor from earlier.
“You…”
Just as the man was about to say something, He Xuan called out first.
“Mom, my stomach… my stomach hurts…”
Suddenly, He Xuan clutched his stomach and fell to the ground. His previously rosy face turned pale in an instant, startling everyone.
Fu Yuling instantly lost her composure and quickly picked up He Xuan. She anxiously examined the area he was clutching.
Before she could even touch it, He Xuan lightly tapped her hand a few times. When Fu Yuling looked up, he blinked his eyes.
“It hurts… sniff, sniff…”
“Mom…”
“Sob, sob…”
Even though Fu Yuling knew that He Xuan was pretending, she couldn’t help but feel her heart pounding with fear, afraid that something might happen to him.
The man wanted to help, but Fu Yuling quickly said a few words and carried He Xuan inside.
“You guys can come another day. I’m really sorry.”
