Xia Chuyi looked at Ou Jun with confusion in her eyes.
Upon closer consideration, the kidnapper’s behavior after being drugged did indeed resemble that of rabies.
But what exactly did Ou Jun mean by that, was he doubting her or hinting at something?
Xia Chuyi couldn’t understand Ou Jun.
"Rabies? So the kidnapper reacted because of rabies!" she feigned a sudden realization and said, "Sorry, comrade from the Liberation Army, I did tell a little lie."
"When I was first locked up, I was clear-headed, later, I even saw how the kidnapper went mad."
"But I was drugged, and my mind wasn’t very clear, I blocked the door while I was still coherent, and then I passed out."
"And what happened after that, I really don’t know."
No matter what Ou Jun meant, she would never admit that she had tampered with anything.
After all, the secret of the space must never be exposed.
"Hmm." Ou Jun nodded, surprisingly made no comment, and simply said, "I understand."
This meant that the reason for the kidnapper’s madness—rabies—was established.
So, was he really not going to pursue it further with her?
"Then, let’s leave it at that." Ou Jun stood up and told her, "The children are in the room next to yours, if you want to see them, you can go on your own."
"Hmm." Xia Chuyi nodded agreeably.
Ou Jun gave her one last look and said, "By the way, my sister was born on the same day, month, and year as you."
It seemed that all the answers had their explanations.
"I’m not your sister." For some reason, she felt compelled to clarify to Ou Jun, "I am my parents’ biological child, my birth certificate, all the paperwork is complete."
She didn’t want him to misunderstand and misplace his emotions.
Listening to her hurried explanations, Ou Jun suddenly laughed and said, "You misunderstand, I didn’t mean anything else, your father was a soldier, and a martyr... I’m not doubting you."
"I just... hope that everyone born on the same day, month, and year as my sister has a good life."
That way, even if he couldn’t find his sister, she would still be happy.
"Also, Xiao Yi is the son of a brother-in-arms, you saved him, and I am grateful to you." That was the main reason he would let her go.
"Be careful in the future, and try not to encounter kidnappers again."
Finally, Ou Jun left these words behind and left the hospital room.
Just as he exited the room, he glanced back at the door and shook his head.
The direction in which the kidnappers trafficked children back then was not the city where Xia Chuyi was.
No need to be overly cautious anymore.
Hadn’t he made enough mistaken searches over the years?
Shaking his head, Ou Jun strode out of the hospital.
Not long after he had left, Du Hong followed a tall military man into her room.
"Chuyi, I’m sorry, Deputy Ou and the others wouldn’t let me come see you," Du Hong caught her hand excitedly as soon as she saw her, "They said there were some suspicions about you."
"I wanted to explain for you, but they wouldn’t listen."
"What does a suspicion matter? I only know that you were locked up by the kidnappers because you wanted to save Xiao Yi!"
Du Hong said this while glaring at the man next to her.
The man awkwardly rubbed his head and said to Xia Chuyi, "Hello, I am Xiao Yi’s father, my name is Yuan Liangang; thank you for what you did for Xiao Yi."
As he spoke, Yuan Liangang deeply bowed to her at a ninety degree angle.
