Chapter 217 - 217: 103 Willingly (First Update) _3
Translator: 549690339
For the first time in eighteen years, someone wasn’t attracted by his aura.
Qu Feitai wasn’t narcissistic, he was just curious. Could this be an aftereffect of becoming a monk since childhood?
Or in other words, when a person’s inner strength reaches a certain level, they can be unaffected by anything external, not even being influenced by a top-tier star like him…
Qu Feitai didn’t know whether the bitterness in his heart was simply disagreeableness or…
“Ms. Zhu, are you free now? Please come to the police station.”
The car stopped in front of the police station. As soon as Ming Jing got out of the car, Xu Huan walked up to her and said, “Ms. Zhu, something has happened. Han Suwen has disappeared.”
Xu Huan saw no expression on Ms. Zhu’s face. She replied indifferently, “When did she leave yesterday?”
Xu Huan narrated the whole story, “After Cai Ping was brought back to the station, I called Han Suwen to come and make a statement. She had a fight with Cai Ping after learning the truth, and our police had to intervene. She sat in the station all afternoon. I was busy handing Cai Ping over to the procuratorate and didn’t have time to look after her. When it was getting dark, I returned to the station and found her missing. I asked a few colleagues, but they were all busy with cases and didn’t notice her leaving. I also called the Zhus, but she didn’t go back there. I checked the surveillance footage; she left the station around six in the evening and went south. I searched the surrounding area, but couldn’t find her. I already dispatched some colleagues to look for her, but there’s still no news. That’s why I called you.” Ming Jing nodded and asked, “Have you seen Qin Xu?”
Xu Huan was startled, as if her words had enlightened him.
“Yesterday, when I handed over Cai Ping, I seemed to see him hiding behind a tree at the entrance of the police station.”
“First, try to contact Qin Xu. There’s a great probability Han Suwen is with him.
Let’s go to the Qins’ place and look.”
Xu Huan thought about it and left to gather people to go to the Qins’ place. It had been more than twelve hours; they couldn’t afford any accidents.
Du Ze followed the police car in his own vehicle. On the way, Ming Jing called Han Suwen, but her phone was switched off.
When they arrived at the Qins’ apartment, Xu Huan went upstairs with two of his colleagues. “Ms. Zhu, you wait downstairs for news. My colleagues and I will go up and check.”
Due to the arrival of the police, many people gathered around to watch. Seeing Ming Jing, they began to speculate in amazement.
“Did something happen to the Qins? I heard that their granddaughter was actually sold by her own grandmother, that old witch Cai Ping. I never expected her to be so ruthless. For the past five years, she blamed everything on her daughter-in-law, but it turns out she was the real culprit.”
“I’ve never seen such a shameless old woman. Even the death penalty is too lenient for her. But it’s really unfortunate for the granddaughter Han Suwen…” “Have they found the child?”
“Not sure, but since they’ve caught the person, they should have found where the child is, right? Let’s wait for the police’s announcement.”
Ming Jing could hear the whispers of the people not far away, her gaze slightly narrowed, and she went upstairs.
“Miss,” Du Ze called from behind.
“Stay here and don’t worry about me,” she said without looking back and went upstairs.
“Don’t move, stay still…” Two policemen escorted Qin Xu out of the room.
Qin Xu’s head hung low, his face grim.
His gaze fell upon a familiar white dress in the corner of his sight. Qin Xu suddenly raised his head; an unexpected light burst from his dead, dull eyes. His desiccated lips quivered violently, “Ms…Ms. Zhu.”
He shook off the two policemen, and fearing he might harm Ms. Zhu, they let him go. The next moment, Qin Xu kneeled in front of Ming Jing, knocking his head hard on the ground three times.
“Ms. Zhu, you’re a good person. It’s my mother and I who have wronged you, but please, please don’t let Nannan know about her real identity. That would be too cruel for her. I beg you, let her be your sister for the rest of her life.”
The two policemen looked at each other dumbfounded. Xu Huan, who had come out following them, sighed.
Ming Jing looked at him indifferently, her expression neither sad nor happy, “She has the right to know where she came from. That’s not an excuse for you to hide the truth.”
With that, she stepped into the apartment, “Where is Han Suwen?
Xu Huan pointed to the bedroom, “She was knocked out by Qin Xu. It seems he was planning to commit suicide with her by burning charcoal.”
A charcoal basin lay on the bedroom floor.
Han Suwen had already regained consciousness. Seeing Ming Jing, she rushed forward emotionally, kneeling and knocking heads just like Qin Xu did. “Miss, from now on, my life is yours.”
“Your life is your own. Now get up,” Ming Jing walked to the window and looked down.
Qin Xu was escorted into a police car by two officers while the crowd pointed and whispered.
From now on, the Qins’ notoriety would spread far and wide.
“Miss, can I ask you for a favor?”, Han Suwen asked cautiously.
Ming Jing’s fair fingers twirled the Buddhist beads, “Hmm.”
“Please don’t let Ming Yi know about her past. I will serve you faithfully in return, and I Imow you treat Ming Yi as your own beloved sister. That is her good fortune. Sometimes, it’s better not to know some things.”
With negligent parents like them, and a wicked grandmother like Cai Ping, the rumors that accompanied her along the way would cause her immense pain. In fact, she wanted to die together with Qjn Xu. These past five years had been stolen trom her. Now that the truth had been revealed, and the ottenders punished, Nannan would have a loving sister in Ms. Zhu. She believed in Ms. Zhu’s ability to protect Nannan for a lifetime without worries, which would be much better than staying with her failed parents like them.
She could finally leave with a clear conscience.
“Before this, you were a great mother. But just now, when you decided to take your own life, you lost the right to be loved by Xiao Wu.”
“Everyone plans her future for her so-called wellbeing, but have you ever considered what Xiao Wu truly wants? Only selfish people would make excuses for their own cowardice.”
With that, she left the room.
Han Suwen remained in the bedroom, crying her heart out.
“Ms. Zhu, what about Nannan? You see…” Xu Huan hesitated to ask.
Nobody had expected that the granddaughter the Qins had lost for five years would turn out to be Ms. Zhu’s junior disciple.
Was this misfortune or good fortune?
Compared to the aura of Ms. Zhu, if she could also receive Ms. Zhu’s sincere care, what Nannan could have would be far more than what she had at the Qins’ house.
That must be the reason why Qin Xu and Han Suwen were unwilling to acknowledge their past.
But was that what a child needed?
