Her hands were handcuffed, her hair was messy, the blue cloth bag fell at her feet, the money inside was scattered everywhere. Seeing me hugging Doan Doan, at first she was stunned, then immediately screamed: "I'm not selling! I'm just giving it to someone to adopt! Their family has money, the baby will be fed well and dressed well. Is it okay to let him follow a divorced woman like you to suffer?" I bent down to look at Doan Doan who was unconscious in my heart. "How much money did you receive?" Her eyes avoided: "What money?" Police officer Co stood next to him, holding up a bag of things. Transparency increased. Inside were three stacks of cash. I asked again: "When you covered the boy's mouth, were you afraid that he would stop breathing?" There was a flash of panic on Ma Que Phan's face, but it quickly turned into an angry look. "Don't threaten me! What law is breaking if I carry my own grandchild? You city people are really evil. Grandma held the child for a while and called the police!" Tham Lo almost rushed forward but was stopped by two policemen. "Say one more sentence, if I don't break your mouth today, I won't. okay!” Ma Que Phan craned his neck: “Fight it! How dare you try hitting an old person!” I didn't curse her, just took out my phone and opened the video of her giving Doan Doan to Cao Lao Tam. Transact, receive money, silence. Every second is clear. Seeing the video, the blood on Ma Que Phan's face gradually disappeared. "You followed me?" "Yes." "You did it on purpose, right? Hua Duong, did you intentionally let me take the baby away to cause me to go to jail?" I looked at her and suddenly burst out laughing. "That's right." She rolled her eyes. I leaned closer and said word by word: "If I don't let you carry me, at best you will just go home and pretend to be pitiful, and continue to look at me tomorrow. I let you carry me because I want the police to see with their own eyes what kind of person you are." Ma Que Phan shouted: "You cruel woman!" "Not like you." The ambulance door closed. In my last look, I saw her sitting on the ground, still screaming: "He's my grandchild! My biological grandchild!" My biological grandchild. Those two words that came out of her mouth were so dirty and disgusting. The hospital emergency room lights turned on. The doctor said Doan Doan had been given a small amount of sedative. That dose is not large for an adult, but the child was only eight months old so it caused high fever and respiratory depression. Luckily it was discovered in time. Luckily. Those two words scared me so much that my whole body felt cold. At two o'clock in the morning, Doan Doan's fever finally subsided. I sat next to the hospital bed, holding my child's small hand. Tham Lo stood by the window and called, his voice very low: "Yes, we caught someone. Cao Lao Tam was also arrested. Yes, I'm fine. Don't tell your mother, otherwise she will cry." After hanging up, she walked over to me. "Does it hurt?" At this point I realized that my shoulder was swollen, my palm was still bleeding. "Okay." Tham Lo tried: "What the hell?" She sat down. squat down, help me roll up the patient's sleeve. Seeing that bruise, her eyes immediately turned red. "Hua Duong, don't risk your life like that next time." I looked at Doan Doan's small sleeping face and said softly: "There won't be a next time." 6 At dawn, Tuong Khai Nien arrived at the hospital. "Hua Duong, where is my mother?" I almost burst out laughing. Doan Doan is inserting an IV needle, his little face is as white as paper. Yet the first thing he asked when he entered was his mother. "Ma Que Phan has been detained in criminal detention. Cao Lao Tam has also been arrested. If you want to know, go to the police station and ask." He gulped: "Have you been convicted?" "What do you think?" "Hua Duong, it's not good for anyone that things have gotten so noisy. Hasn't Duan Duan been found already? My mother is old, if she really had to spend a few years in prison, she would be in prison for several years." I can't stand it." I raised my head to look at him. "When Doan Doan was given drugs, could he stand it?"

Khai Nien was silent for a while and then started preaching again. "Surely she didn't know that it was true. She was just temporarily confused and was deceived by people. She is a daughter-in-law, she cannot force an old person into the world." Tham Lo laughed coldly: "When she sold the baby, she didn't think about leaving him a way to live. Now you start talking about compassion?" Tuong Khai Nien was talked about until his face turned pale. He walked around Tham Lo, walked in front of me and lowered his voice: "Hua Duong, after all, we were once husband and wife. Give me some face. You told the police that this was just a misunderstanding, my mother took the baby out and was tricked by someone else." I looked at that face. Seven years of marriage. I used to think he was just lazy, just a clingy guy, just not responsible. Now I know that when a person is evil, their face is not necessarily fierce. They can also frown and pretend that they are very unjust. At this moment, comments appeared. 【Last night he received two thousand yuan from Cao Lao San.】 【The conversation is still there. He hadn't had time to delete the backup in the cloud.】 My heart felt cold. “Tuong Khai Nien.” I asked. “Show me your WeChat transaction history.” His eyes immediately changed. “Why are you looking at my transaction history?” “Didn't you say your mother was scammed? So what are you afraid of?”
