I'm only five years old, how come I've become the military region's darling?

Although Ruan Xiaochun was wary of Su Mei's cunning, she felt a strange mix of emotions when she heard that Su Mei was going to beat the child.

Su Mei already knew that she was reborn, but she still decided to abort the child.

"Heh," Xiaochun gave a bitter smile. In Su Mei's eyes, probably no one was as important as herself.

Ding Xiao looked at Xiao Chun, whose face was even more unsightly than if she had been crying, and felt a pang of guilt. She had just wanted to embarrass Su Mei, but now she only felt guilty.

"No, it's nothing, never mind, it's not good to talk to a child like you."

Ding Xiao turned to leave, but Xiao Chun reached out and grabbed her hem. "Dr. Ding, can you tell me how you knew?"

Ding Xiao looked at the little girl, who scratched her head, her large, watery eyes shining with a heart-stopping light, "You..."

Xiaochun tugged at her fingers, "Xiaochun already knows she's pregnant..."

"Doesn't she want the baby?"

Ding Xiao couldn't help but sneer, "Does she not want it? I'm afraid someone doesn't want her to have it. Fu Chen already has three children, who cares what's in her belly?"

Xiaochun felt heartbroken; the child she had loved so dearly in her past life had become a hot potato in this one.

"It's true that Su Mei herself is heartless. If she didn't agree, who could have dragged her to have an abortion?"

She looked at Xiaochun and sighed, "This happened when I went out to provide support. The hospital gave everyone a day off, and since my home is in the north of the city, I took the opportunity to go back. I didn't expect to run into Dr. Fu Chen on the street."

"I thought he was on his way to run some errands, so I followed him to say hello, but I didn't expect to see him enter a house."

Ding Xiao remembered that the aunt next door had spat at her and then splashed a basin of water on her.

"So young, yet so sinful."

She was baffled and tried to reason with them, but was met with a cold shoulder.

At that point, she wasn't in the mood to care what Fu Chen was doing, so she went home and told her mother.

As a result, Ding's mother clasped her hands together and muttered, "Why did you go there?"

He picked up a willow branch and whipped her a few times, muttering something incoherently.

Under her persistent questioning, Ding Xiao's mother finally admitted, "What kind of wonderful place do you think that is?"

"Some people say that alleyway is a den of abortions, extremely unlucky, and any good girl's reputation will be ruined if she gets involved there. And you still go there so eagerly. Don't go there again."

An abortion clinic? Ding Xiao's mouth widened in disbelief. "Mom, are you sure that place is an illegal abortion clinic?"

"Who knows? I just heard it from someone else. Whether it's true or not, don't go there again."

They said they would use tree branches to ward off bad luck.

She was muttering to herself like she was chanting a spell, as if some little ghost was haunting her.

Ding Xiao was also very frustrated. What was Fu Chen doing at that illegal abortion clinic?

Unless Koh Samui is pregnant.

This news came like a bolt from the blue.

As expected, the first thing Fu Chen did after returning to the military region was to go find Su Mei.

The two talked for a long time in secret, and when Su Mei returned, her eyes were red.

Ding Xiao immediately realized that this matter couldn't be fake.

She had always disliked Su Mei's pretentious act. She had initially thought that Su Mei was just dating Fu Chen, but she never imagined that the two of them had already slept together in bed.

Bah! How shameless!

Without a second thought, she ran to find Ruan Xiaochun, but seeing the silly look on the little girl and Ruan Jianhua's faces, her conscience ached. She couldn't let her gloating be built on the suffering of others.

After much hesitation, I said, "You're too young to get involved; it's not good for you."

"Dr. Ding, actually, Captain Xing from the Public Security Bureau already knows, but I'm worried about her too. Can you tell me the location? I'll let Captain Xing handle it."

Ding Xiao heard that even the police knew about it, so Su Mei definitely couldn't escape this matter.

This girl is really nice; she even worried about Su Mei.

That woman, Su Mei, is a real scoundrel.

"It's in Chuan'er Alley in the north of the city. I remember it was the third house on the right. There was a small mirror hanging on her door."

Ruan Xiaochun knew, of course, that Ding Xiao hadn't meant well by telling her this news.

But what she said wasn't wrong either.

As the saying goes, "to catch adulterers in pairs, to catch thieves red-handed," this child is the best weapon to make her and Fu Chen pay the greatest price.

Ding Xiao made sure Xiao Chun didn't need her help before leaving.

Ruan Xiaochun thought for a moment and then borrowed the guesthouse's phone. Just as she expected, the phone rang for a while before being answered. There was a constant buzzing sound from the static. "The criminal investigation team and their group have all gone out to work on a case. Leave a message and I'll have them call you back later."

Xiaochun left her name and hung up the phone. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the waiter at the door and another middle-aged woman whispering to each other.

"Have you heard? Commander Jiang's son and daughter are missing."

"When did this happen? I remember his daughter was sent back to her hometown, wasn't she?"

"Oh dear, you don't know, it happened just yesterday. His old lady brought her child to visit relatives, but she got lost at the train station. It's highly likely she was kidnapped by a criminal."

"What a tragedy!"

"When I came here just now, I saw the police going to his house. I really hope that child is alright."

Human traffickers? Police?

Xiaochun's heart was pounding. "Dad, let's go take a look too."

At the entrance of the family compound for regimental-level cadres, there were rows of independent courtyards. At this moment, the entrance to one of the courtyards was crowded with people, and there was a noisy commotion of crying and discussion.

The old lady, dressed in blue with faded melon seeds, was now sobbing uncontrollably, leaning against Jiang Hongxia. "My Jingjing, my darling, it's all Grandma's fault for losing you."

Standing to one side was a man with red eyes, trying to hold back his emotions. He was holding a woman with short, shaky hair who was crying uncontrollably. "How could you not hold onto a child?"

Upon hearing this, the old woman struggled to kneel on the ground. "Hongying, it's all my fault! I never imagined that Lai Di would be gone in the blink of an eye. Blame me if you must. It's all my fault! If anything happens to Jingjing, I'll pay with my life!"

"Mom! What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Hongxia helped the old lady sit down. "Sister-in-law, I'm also heartbroken that the child is missing. I've already reported it to the police, and they will definitely find the child."

"The police are here!"

Xiao Chun, who had been standing in the crowd, saw Xing Yong and several uniformed police officers riding bicycles from afar.

"Make way, the police are conducting a case."

Xing Yong watched the little girl watching the commotion, smiled at her, and went inside.

"Auntie, don't cry. Tell me the details of what happened when your child went missing."

Niu Qiaobao held up his notebook, saying, "The more detailed the better."

The old lady was sobbing. "After getting off the train, I took Jingjing to catch the bus, but the child said she was hungry. I saw a steamed bun vendor across the street, so I dragged her across to buy some. But when I turned around after buying the buns, Jingjing had run to the alley across the street. When I chased after her, I found she was gone."

"And then?"

The old woman cried so hard she couldn't breathe, "I...I searched everywhere, but I couldn't find him!!"

Niu Qiaobao put away his notebook; his words were as good as nothing.

"Officer, we've questioned the people around here and the stall owners. Our train station branch has also asked them. Someone saw that child go to buy steamed buns."

Xing Yong was analyzing the whole case when Xiao Chun frowned as she looked at the old lady being questioned. Why did she feel that the old lady's crying was a bit strange?

The old woman had the same despair and distress in the child's mother's eyes, but not as much.

At that moment, a clear electronic voice rang in Xiaochun's mind.
