Chapter 336: The Clown Across the Street_1
Gu Yuanzhou’s various difficulties and insults these past few days made me feel like death would be preferable; I couldn’t let him get away with it.
But Ding Xiao stopped me,
“Xiaosong, it wasn’t him!”
“Are you afraid of him?”
“No, I’m not afraid of him!”
“Then why won’t you let me report him? People like him deserve to be in prison.”
“No! Xiaosong… Ruirui wasn’t kidnapped!”
Ding Xiao’s expression was calm.
“What are you talking about?”
“Ruirui wasn’t kidnapped, she was just wandering the streets on her own. Then, by chance, she was taken in by a passing couple for a few days, it’s a misunderstanding!”
I didn’t believe Ding Xiao’s explanation at all; I looked at him in shock,
“Do you believe it’s just a misunderstanding?”
“The child said so herself, and it was that couple who brought Ruirui to the police station.”
Ding Xiao’s face remained calm.
But facing such an explanation, I simply couldn’t believe it.
Who knows if that couple wasn’t arranged by Gu Yuanzhou.
It’s impossible.
Gu Yuanzhou must have kidnapped Ding Ruirui, threatening me, humiliating me.

Now he’s speaking so lightly about it.
How could I let him off the hook?
If I let him go, wouldn’t all my suffering have been in vain?
My hands were trembling, this had become a fixation for me; I couldn’t possibly let him off.
It was him, it must have been him…
Even though Ding Xiao kept trying to persuade me, I simply couldn’t listen anymore.
I stubbornly found the police,
“Officer, our Ruirui’s missing case, it’s a kidnapping, and Gu Yuanzhou is behind it.”
The police shook his head,
“I’ve obtained surveillance clues proving it’s unrelated to Gu Yuanzhou. The child was taken by a couple!”
“Have you investigated that couple? They must be hired by Gu Yuanzhou, you should check thoroughly.”
The police looked at me with sympathetic eyes,
“Ma’am, please calm down. We have vast experience in case handling. We will not let any criminals go, nor will we wrongly detain an innocent person, you have to trust us. What’s most important right now is that you take good care of the child, help her adjust to her surroundings.”
“No, Gu Yuanzhou is a bad person, if you don’t arrest him, he will offend again…”
I was very anxious.
Ding Xiao stopped me,
“Xiaosong, let it go! Listen to me!”
He pulled me aside and spoke softly, persuading,
“Xiaosong, perhaps this time, you’ve misunderstood Gu Yuanzhou. However, regardless, he is indeed a bad person. There’s no denying that, but with no evidence on the police’s side, clinging to him is pointless, we should just stay away from him from now on.”
I glanced at Ding Ruirui, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and then nodded slightly,
“Let me take you guys home.”
“No need, it’s so late, you should go home by yourself. I’ll take the child home; anyway, the doctor just checked her, she’s fine. I’ll spend time with her these next few days.”
“It’s okay, I won’t be able to sleep alone at home anyway, accompanying her will give me some peace of mind.”
I still wouldn’t give up; I didn’t believe what the police had said, so I decided to stay with Ding Ruirui for a few days to see if I could get anything out of the child.
Also, I feel like I’ve developed some post-traumatic stress now, I’m really afraid that Gu Yuanzhou will take away the child again next time.
Maybe it’s because of my own negligence at that time, not protecting my child well.
Now, looking at Ruirui, I am determined to protect her.
After returning to the Ding Family.
Ding Xiao then carried Ding Ruirui to the bedroom to sleep…
Mom Ding held my hand, talking nonstop about Ding Yinuo’s recent illness,
“Xiaosong, it’s all thanks to you! Yinuo has been getting better day by day. The doctor says his condition is improving more each day, and if nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to get up by the end of this year, right?”
It seems that ever since Ding Yinuo started to recover, Mom Ding’s smile has become more frequent on her face.
These days, she’s visited him at the hospital every single day.
And she also took the time to make chicken soup to nourish my body.
She has long considered me as part of her own family.
She discusses everything with me.
“Yes! I have a lot of confidence too!”
“When he wakes up, you two should have a child early. Sigh, it’s all thanks to you. Without your patience and confidence to help him, he might not have woken up by now.”
“Don’t worry, once he wakes up, I’ll keep him company!”
“Yes, once he’s better, our family should go out and really enjoy a trip. Visit some places we’ve never been before. This child has never enjoyed life. Back when he was studying, he buried himself in books, reading day and night. After becoming a doctor, he was a workaholic. Always circling the operating table, giving all his energy to the patients, he never went on a trip, never really lived life.”
“Yes, you’re right. Once he wakes up, our family will go on a trip.”
At that moment, Ding Xiao came out of the bedroom,
“I’m heading to the hospital to watch over Ruhui. Please help look after Ruirui!”
I stood up,
“Rest assured! I’ll stay here for the next few days… Right, and you also need to be careful lately, see if anyone is following you.”
Ding Xiao is smart, he immediately grasped the meaning behind my words.
“Okay, I understand, thanks for the heads up!”
After Ding Xiao left, I voluntarily took on the responsibility of caring for Ding Ruirui.
After all, Mom Ding is getting on in years, the elderly lack energy, and little kids are energetic. Actually, letting an old person take care of a child is not a wise choice.
That night, I stayed by Ding Ruirui’s side to sleep.
The next morning.
After Ding Ruirui woke up, she was in very good spirits. After washing her face and brushing her hair, I fed her breakfast and then watched cartoons with her.
This little girl recovered quite quickly, it seemed she easily accepted the changes.
Before long, we got along very well. While I was feeding her apples, I casually asked,
“Ruirui, do you love Auntie?”
The little girl nodded like a pecking chick,
“Of course, Auntie buys Ruirui tasty food, beautiful dresses, and tells me bedtime stories. Auntie loves Ruirui the most. And Ruirui loves Auntie the most too!”
“That’s good. Next, Auntie is going to ask you a few questions. Can you tell me the truth?”
“Of course, yes!”
“That day, the day you disappeared, can you tell me why you ran out of the school?”
The little girl thought for a while,
“Across the street, there was an uncle with balloons and candies, waving at me!”
“And then?”
“Then I walked over, but before I got close, a man and a woman came out of a car and picked me up and put me in the car!”
“Did this man and woman hit you? Cover your eyes or anything like that? Did they say anything about kidnapping?”
