Outside the office, Lu Xun was leaning on the wall with his eyes closed as he waited for Song Xing Xing to speak to that boy.
He did not know what the two had talked about but Lu Xun could sense that the atmosphere in the room had slightly changed as he delivered the bucket of fried chicken.
The phone in his pocket buzzed. Lu Xun glanced at the caller ID and quickly answered the call when he saw Zhang Yu Han's name.
"I've arrived in Capital City with Anna's parents," Zhang Yu Han spoke as the call was connected. "Lu Xun, where are you?"
His eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. Lu Xun had not thought that his friend would bring Shi An Na's parents over. "The police station."
Zhang Yu Han listened to the address that his friend had reported to him. "Wait for me. I will be there as soon as I can."
The phone call was disconnected. Lu Xun stared at his phone with a dazed expression.
At this time, the door behind him was pushed open. Song Xing Xing came out with a faint smile on her face.
Before he could ask a question, Song Xing Xing placed a finger on her lips, gesturing him not to say anything. He shot her a puzzled look and watched as she spoke to the policewoman who was guarding outside.
"What happened?" Lu Xun asked as the policewoman entered the office where Shi An Na's son was in.
"The boy is asleep," Song Xing Xing said.
Lu Xun glanced at the time and noted that it was almost midnight. He did not realize that it has been this late. They had stayed at the station for a long time.
She dragged him to a quiet corner and forced him to sit down. She could tell that he would be tired after standing for a long time.
Lu Xun watched his wife's face for a long time. Then, he broke the silence and asked, "Why do you treat that boy so well?"
His heart was not at ease. Lu Xun did not like that boy after what he had tried to do. However, his wife has been treating him well.
"He's just an innocent child," Song Xing Xing said. "He only did things because his mother. Actually, I think he's quite pitiful." Song Xing Xing continued to tell him a little bit about her conversation with that boy.
The frown on his face deepened. No matter what, Lu Xun still did not like that boy. Chen Yu Xi might be a little boy, but because of his mother, he had almost destroyed someone else's life.
"What else did he tell you?"
It took Song Xing Xing a while to gain that boy's trust. But perhaps, it was just like her mother had said, younger kids found that she was easy to get along with. After talking to Chen Yu Xi about this and that, the boy gradually opened up.
"It seemed that Miss Shi has been teaching her son to call you 'daddy' for a while. She told him that you are going to marry her and become his father. He wanted his mom to be happy and decided to play along. This was why that boy had approached you when there were too many people around." Song Xing Xing stared at him and frowned. "It seemed that Shi An Na really likes you. She was willing to use her child so that she could be together with you."
Lu Xun sneered. "What are you saying? What she liked isn't me. It's money. Back then, didn't she choose to break up with me and marry someone else for money?"
A light smile appeared on her face. Song Xing Xing leaned on Lu Xun's shoulder and frowned as she thought of her conversation with Chen Yu Xi. She really did not expect that Shi An Na would be that obsessed.
The couple stayed in the corner for a long time. Lu Xun had suggested for Song Xing Xing to head home and rest. However, the girl had stubbornly wanted to stay by his side and wait for Zhang Yu Han to arrive.
In the end, Lu Xun could only let her stay. A faint smile curled on his lips as he pressed his lips on her head. His hug around her waist tightened.
A while later, Zhang Yu Han appeared at the police station with Shi An Na's parents with him.
The elder couple heard that their grandson was in the office and quickly went in to see him.
It has been a few months since the last time they saw their grandson. Last time, Shi An Na had taken her son and left without saying a word. Ever since then, the Shi couple had not heard a word from their daughter.
Who would have thought that the next time they saw their grandson, it would be in that video?
Their neighbor came over and pointed out that their grandson was seen in that trending video. The Shi couple were anxious. They planned to head over to Capital City and look for Lu Xun. That was when Zhang Yu Han appeared at their doorstep.
The man offered to send them to their grandson and asked for them to help clarify this rumor surrounding Lu Xun.
The couple had no objection. After all, they knew that they owed Lu Xun a lot. Especially after what their daughter had done to him.
A police officer walked over and led the elderly couple to meet their grandson.
As they left, Zhang Yu Han turned to the couple and gave Lu Xun a lookover. "Are you alright?"
Lu Xun gave him a slow nod. "Don't worry about me. I know what to do."
Zhang Yu Han chuckled. He glanced at Song Xing Xing before he looked at Lu Xun again. "You better be."
Lu Xun knew well that his friend was warning him to handle this matter carefully lest he would hurt Song Xing Xing again. Shi An Na had repeatedly messed up with him and tried to tarnish his name. This time, he should not pity her. This time, he should not be soft-hearted.
"Yu Han," Lu Xun pursed his lips into a thin line. Then, he spoke again, "Thank you."
Zhang Yu Han almost rolled his eyes. The phone in his pocket rang. Zhang Yu Han glanced at the caller ID and accepted the call. He pressed the phone to his ear but did not speak a word.
The phone call lasted for a few seconds.
He slid the phone back into his pocket and looked at Lu Xun again. "They have found Anna."
Lu Xun was not surprised that Zhang Yu Han would be the one to give him this news. After all, he had his connection in Capital City.
"They will be bringing her here shortly," Zhang Yu Han continued.
