Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 163 Prolonged Illness Leads to a Lack of Family Affection

The old man and the middle-aged man started arguing at the door.

The old man, who had been serious, was instantly brought to his knees by the middle-aged man's words. Faced with the desire to inherit the bloodline and the need to carry on the family business, his lips trembled twice, and he was unable to utter a word of rebuttal.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man became smug and even took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

"Get out of here! Smoking is not allowed in the hospital!"

The old man could only growl once, then turned and walked into the ward corridor as if he couldn't see anything.

"Tch! I'm going to smoke!"

The middle-aged man swung his legs casually, lit a cigarette and took a puff, then looked around boredly. Soon his gaze met that of Lin Ge, who was watching the commotion.

"cat?"

The middle-aged man suddenly became interested and walked towards Lin Ge with a chuckle: "Tsk tsk, cats in a hospital? They said it was the best mental hospital in Yongshi, but this is all the management they've got! Damn it, I wasted my money!"

How could Lin Ge allow such a shameless guy to touch him? He dodged the man's hand, jumped off the windowsill, and went to find Nie Guoqiang.

Midway through the journey, the middle-aged man ran a few steps to hug him, but Lin Ge turned around without hesitation and swatted him away with both claws.

"Fuck!"

The middle-aged man immediately stopped, looking down to see a bloody mark on the back of his hand. He was both shocked and furious and wanted to attack Lin Ge, but when he saw Lin Ge's calm eyes, he inexplicably became cowardly, pursed his lips, wiped his hands, and walked towards the ward.

Lingo lagged far behind him.

A man and a cat entered the ward area one after the other. The middle-aged man turned around several times and glared angrily at Lin Ge, but in the end he didn't have the courage. He just cursed and said that he would find the cat's owner to compensate him.

Lin Ge completely disregarded this guy and followed Nie Guoqiang's scent as he walked inside.

As he walked, Lin Ge's expression became strange.

From Nie Guoqiang's ward, one could hear him talking to an old man. This old man was the same one who had just spoken to the middle-aged man in front of him, criticizing him but ultimately being rendered speechless by his rebuttal.

What a coincidence!

It turns out these two are the guys we found earlier, who might be Luo Jue's grandfather and father. And the ward where Nie Guoqiang is currently staying is occupied by the sick woman named Ai Yun.

"what's the situation?"

The guy named Luo Jianlin muttered to himself in confusion, wondering why the usually quiet, deathly-like ward was so lively today.

But no matter what, he couldn't just leave without even going in. And he also needed to find a way to get Ai-yun to sign the divorce papers so he could be free and have another son with Xiao-mei.

Anyway, I've taken care of her for five years, so I've done my part.

Luo Jianlin became more and more at ease as he thought about it, and walked into the ward with a disdainful sneer.

He was stunned as soon as he entered.

The room, which should have been deserted, was now packed with people. His wife was still lying on the bed by the window, acting like a fool, but next to her sat a motionless boy. The boy, too, stared unblinkingly at the woman on the bed, looking just as foolish. His father stood behind him, watching the boy with an agitated expression; his eyes were even tearing up. Who were the people in police uniforms nearby? And why was that pretty young woman glaring at him?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Luo Jianlin's mind.

"Jianlin! Jianlin!"

Seeing his son come in, Luo Xianjin excitedly said, "Look! Look! This is your son! The police have found your son and brought him back!"

"son?"

Luo Jianlin was taken aback.

He quickly realized what was happening and took a few steps to the bedside. But then, as if remembering something, his steps slowed. His son was important, but his wife… was important too.

Xiaomei has already agreed to have a son for him, so what is this little devil who appeared out of nowhere?
As Luo Jianlin was still pondering his next move, Luo Jue suddenly looked up and stared intently at him. The boy's wolf-like gaze startled Luo Jianlin, who took a step back and instantly made up his mind: this kid cannot be allowed to live!

He chuckled dryly and then said to Luo Xianjin, "Da, what are you saying? Don't be fooled! This kid doesn't look like me at all, how could he be my son? There are plenty of swindlers these days, he's definitely after us."

Luo Xianjin was stunned for a moment, then quickly scolded his son, "Luo Jianlin! This child looks so much like Ai Yun, how can he not be your son? Look at his eyebrows and eyes, look at his ears, he's obviously a descendant of the Luo family!" "Anyway, he's not my son! My son was abducted... so many years ago, how can I just accept anyone as my son!"

Luo Jianlin spoke nonchalantly, even forgetting when his son had gone missing.

"you……"

Luo Xianjin was so angry that his body swayed.

"Comrade, I cannot agree with what you said."

Nie Guoqiang finally spoke up, his expression serious: "Since we've traveled so far to find this place, we must have obtained definite clues and evidence. If you have any doubts about your relationship with this child, you can choose to have a DNA test done."

"That's not necessary!"

Luo Jianlin awkwardly turned his head away.

Actually, he also felt that the strange child must be his son. But, was this son important?
The existence of this son will only affect his relationship with his girlfriend. It will only affect his marriage to Xiaomei and making Xiaomei bear his child. What use is he otherwise? To prove that he is healthy enough to have more children?
“I’ll take care of this child! Whether his father acknowledges him or not, I, as his grandfather, will definitely acknowledge this grandson.”

Luo Xianjin suddenly spoke, his voice low and somber.

Luo Jue seemed not to hear the old man's words at all. He was only staring intently at the woman on the hospital bed, and he didn't even realize when he had taken her hand.

Nie Guoqiang shook his head and said seriously, "Grandpa, that's not how it works. I'm a policeman, and everything I do must be done according to regulations. If you want to acknowledge this grandson, you must verify his DNA and that of his blood relatives. We cannot allow any accidents to happen, nor can we hand him over to a father who doesn't accept him. You should know how pitiful trafficked children are, and we cannot push him into the fire again."

"Fire pit..."

Luo Xianjin paused for a moment, turned to look at his son who was bowing his head and not saying a word, then looked back at his daughter-in-law and grandson who were in such a state of illness, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

"Let's come back in a couple of days. Now, please calm down and we can discuss it then."

Nie Guoqiang had no intention of staying any longer, mainly because the cat at the door was becoming increasingly impatient. Not only Sun Chang, but even Qian Wei, who was known for his integrity in this regard, looked very displeased.

Because of his wife's death, Qian Wei became even more disgusted with people who didn't treat their wives well.

Without saying a word, Qian Wei turned and left.

Sun Chang sighed and went to take Luo Jue's hand. Luo Jue struggled for a moment, but somehow calmed down and obediently let Sun Chang lead her out with her head down.

Nie Guoqiang walked at the very back, glanced at the old man Luo Xianjin with his ugly face, then at the indifferent Luo Jianlin, and at Ai Yun on the bed who knew nothing about everything, shook his head and left.

The three people and the cat walked out of the hospital in silence, then stopped in front of the police car.

Sun Chang opened the door and let Beibei out, stroking its head as a reward before looking up at Nie Guoqiang and saying, "Chief, are we really just going to leave like this? That lady, she's so pitiful."

"Let's find a hotel to rest first, and come back early tomorrow morning."

After making his decision, Nie Guoqiang turned to look at Luo Jue and said, "Luo Jue, don't worry. Now that you've found your parents, everything else is a minor issue. He is your father, and he will definitely understand and change his mind to accept you back."

Luo Jue didn't look up, and the aura emanating from him became as cold and indifferent as when they first met.

After listening to Nie Guoqiang's words, he raised his head and said, "That person... is he really my father? Is there a mistake? He doesn't look like a relative at all."

"But your grandfather cares about you very much."

Nie Guoqiang shook his head and said, "Besides, you and your mother look very alike. I think that given that she also lost her child, and considering your similar appearances, the probability of a misunderstanding is extremely small."

"I understand."

Luo Jue nodded, then lowered her head and remained silent.

After finding a reasonably priced hotel and settling into their rooms, the group prepared to rest after a long day.

While Nie Guoqiang was taking a shower, Lin Ge suddenly nudged Luo Jue, who was sitting on the bed, signaling him to come with him.

This matter cannot be left unresolved.
