"I had my suspicions, and followed them, but then I was caught..."
"They locked me up with Xiao Yi in a pitch-dark room, and I had been drugged, completely unaware of what was happening." Xia Chuyi recounted half-truthfully, then asked with a look of concern, "Comrade from the liberation army, can you tell me what happened after that?"
"Did you rescue me? And what about Xiao Yi, how’s Xiao Yi doing?"
Ou Jun raised his hand to calm her and then said with a gentle smile, "Don’t worry, Xiao Yi and the other two children are all fine."
"That’s good, that’s great!" Xia Chuyi patted her chest with relief.
"Do you really not know what happened next?" Suddenly, Ou Jun asked again.
"Ah, don’t you comrades from the liberation army know either? I was unconscious! I don’t know anything!" Xia Chuyi blinked her innocent large eyes.
After all, the drugs would definitely be detected in her system, and she had indeed been unconscious for a long time, so her claim of ignorance was credible.
Ou Jun stared at her for a long while before saying, "Let me bring a few children over to visit you, see if you can remember anything."
After speaking, Ou Jun stood up.
When he did, the people with him also hurriedly got into motion, and the group left the sickroom.
Although she had a pretty good impression of Ou Jun, the man was also too shrewd.
Bringing Xiao Yi and the others over... It wasn’t to see if she could remember anything, but to see if Xiao Yi and the rest could remember something, right?
A little while later.
Ou Jun brought Xiao Yi, along with the other two little tykes, to the sickroom.
"Pretty big sis!" Xiao Yi’s eyes lit up upon seeing her, and he rushed over immediately.
"Hey, be careful!" Xia Chuyi quickly sat up and caught the oncoming Xiao Yi, asking with concern, "Are you alright, Xiao Yi? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
She was really worried that the drug might have left some aftereffects on the child.
"Xiao Yi good, Xiao Yi not scared." Xiao Yi, after all, was just over four years old, quite young, and his reply was a bit off-topic.
"Xiao Yi seems quite close to you," said Ou Jun, who had brought the children over, out of the blue.
Xia Chuyi composed herself, "Maybe it’s because we took the train to Capital City together, the child took a liking to me."
Ou Jun glanced at the other two little tykes, who were also looking at her with affectionate eyes.
Clearly, although the drugs had jumbled the children’s memories, the sense of dependency in the darkness had not faded.
Xia Chuyi fell silent, then said, "Comrade from the liberation army, I really don’t know what happened."
In this situation, she was determined to deny everything.
Besides, even if she admitted to drugging and causing the traffickers to turn on each other, would anyone believe her?
Unless she revealed the secret of her space.
The sickroom quieted down for a moment.
Suddenly a policeman came in and said to Ou Jun, "Chief Ou, the station has sent over the files."
Xia Chuyi bowed her head, slightly squinting her eyes.
"Xia Chuyi, from Ling County..." Ou Jun read softly.
It seemed he was telling her not to be too nervous, it was just some information about her after all.
"Born on..." Suddenly, he paused his speech and abruptly asked, "The birthday on your household registration book, is it the lunar calendar or the agricultural calendar? Is there a mistake?"
"What?" Xia Chuyi was a bit startled, "Lunar calendar, why?"
"Then... who are your parents?" Ou Jun looked at her with an unfathomable expression.
