Seeing Yuan Liangang , Xia Chuyi quickly waved her hand and said, "Brother Yuan, you don’t need to be so polite. I only let my dog deliver a message, I really didn’t do anything!"
How could Xia Chuyi accept such a big gesture? Besides, if she did accept it, wouldn’t that indirectly admit she did something?
It always felt like life was full of traps.
"It was the liberation army comrades and the police comrades who saved everyone!" Xia Chuyi stressed earnestly.
Suddenly, Du Hong, shaking her head, stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and said, "Chuyi, you deserve it."
"You don’t know, the traffickers were relatives of a criminal that Xiao Yi’s dad shot. They paid to have Xiao Yi captured!"
"So, Chuyi, this really is our fault."
At this point, Du Hong’s voice suddenly choked up, "And, according to what Xiao Yi’s dad said, there was a mole inside the Police Station. If it weren’t for your dog who quickly led people to the traffickers’ hideout, they would have received early warnings and escaped."
"Anyway, thank you so much," Du Hong said, still visibly shaken.
"Yes, thank you very much," Yuan Liangang added, saluting Xia Chuyi again. "If it weren’t for you, Xiao Yi might have been sold to my enemy..."
He could not finish his sentence, as he could not bear to think about it.
Such a large and muscular man, yet his eyes also reddened.
Xia Chuyi suddenly fell silent, feeling profoundly moved.
A strong military wife, a steely soldier, both shedding rare tears for their child.
This shows, traffickers really are the most disgusting creatures in the world, tearing apart so many beautiful families, breaking so many strong parents.
"Okay, Sister Hong, Brother Yuan, it’s all in the past now, look at me and Xiao Yi, aren’t we both fine?" She then tried to comfort them.
"Those traffickers are wicked and deserved their fate, don’t think too much about it."
Du Hong wiped her tears and exchanged looks with Yuan Liangang, unable to help but shake her head, "Look at us, we came to thank you, but instead you are comforting us."
With a sigh, Du Hong sincerely said to Xia Chuyi, "Chuyi, I don’t have any relatives in Beijing, you saved our Xiao Yi, from now on, you’re like a sister to me, what do you say?"
The implication was that she wanted to recognize Chuyi as her foster sister.
Xia Chuyi smiled and replied, "It’s funny, I don’t have many relatives in Beijing either. Gaining a sister, why would I refuse?"
Du Hong laughed through her tears, and Yuan Liangang couldn’t help but grin broadly.
The atmosphere immediately lightened considerably.
"Good, since you’ve acknowledged me as your sister, Chuyi, if you ever have any troubles, come to me, I’ll take care of you."
"Your brother-in-law is a lieutenant colonel in the military; there’s a saying ’children bear their father’s debts’—he’d risk his life to help you!"
Now it was Xia Chuyi’s turn to suppress a chuckle.
Sister Hong, such a gentle woman, suddenly became so fierce in front of her husband.
"Cough, Sister Hong, I am a law-abiding citizen, why would I ask for my brother-in-law’s life?" she said. "By the way, since I’m feeling well, how about I go visit the kids?"
She changed the subject.
Hearing this, Du Hong was initially worried, but after asking a few careful questions and consulting a doctor who confirmed that Xia Chuyi really was fine, she agreed to take her to see the children.
