Wang Meijuan took a glance:
"Haohao, does she have a fever? Look how red her face is."
Wang Hao didn't care:
"It's from crying. She cried the whole way, it would be weird if her face wasn't red.
"Besides, it's perfectly normal for kids to get sick.
"She had a fever a couple of days ago too, and Lin Wanyi rushed her to the hospital in a panic, but they just prescribed some medicine and sent them back.
"Sis, just ignore her, drinking some hot water will be fine."
After he finished speaking, he turned to leave. Wang Keke immediately followed him:
"Daddy, where are you going? I want to go with you."
Wang Hao did not soften:
"Weren't you just screaming at the station that you didn't want Daddy, but wanted Mommy and Grandma?
"Why do you want to come with me now?"
Wang Keke followed him closely: "Daddy."
Compared to Wang Meijuan, Wang Keke would rather follow Wang Hao.
But Wang Hao wouldn't take her with him. However, he still squatted down in front of Wang Keke and said,
"Stay here with your auntie and be good. In a couple of days, Daddy and Mommy will come together to take you home."
Wang Keke grabbed his hand tightly:
"No, Daddy, don't leave me here.
"I don't want to be here, I want to go back, I want Mommy."
Wang Hao cruelly pried her fingers off and left without another word.
On the way back to Wangjiacun, he was in an incredibly good mood.
He felt like the moon and stars in the sky were celebrating for him.
By the time he got home, it was already early morning, but he was full of energy.
Liu Chunlan hadn't slept either; she had been waiting for Wang Hao.
"How did it go, son? Did everything go smoothly?"
Wang Hao was in high spirits: "Of course, everything went perfectly.
"Mom, Lin Wanyi is already on the train.
"This time, she is coming back with me of her own accord."
"Hahaha."
Liu Chunlan couldn't hide the smile on her face.
"I told you long ago, as long as we have that money-losing girl in our hands, Lin Wanyi will never escape our grasp.
"Haohao, go get some sleep, you've had a long day.
"Tomorrow, you can welcome your wife home."
Wang Hao lay in bed looking at the messages Lin Wanyi sent one after another:
"Wang Hao, did you give Keke her medicine?"
"Has her fever gone down? Did you take her temperature?"
"Did you go to the hospital?"
"Where are you? The hospital or Wangjiacun?"
Wang Hao didn't reply to a single message.
The feeling of watching Lin Wanyi jump around in anxiety was just too satisfying.
Getting no reply at all, Lin Wanyi was comforted by Lin Jiajun:
"Sis, it's fine. Wang Hao is just forcing you to go back. He won't do anything to Keke."
"Check Keke's location again, we'll head straight there as soon as we get off the train."
Lin Wanyi immediately opened the app and checked:
"Wangjiacun. Jiajun, Keke really is in Wangjiacun."
"That's good, Sis, get some sleep.
"Tomorrow will be a tough battle."
Lin Wanyi lay on the top bunk of the sleeper car. She forced herself to close her eyes, forced herself to sleep.
But the moment she closed her eyes, all she heard was Wang Keke crying and calling for Mommy.
She couldn't bear it. She blamed herself for not protecting Wang Keke well.
She especially couldn't live without Wang Keke.
That was the daughter she had carried for ten months and raised with her own hands for seven years.
She had to find her.
Wang Meijuan looked at Wang Keke, who was huddled in the corner:
"Who are you putting on that act for? I'm your auntie. I used to hold you all the time when you were little.
"I'm not going to eat you.
"Hurry up, go wash your face and go to sleep."
Wang Keke was scared, and she whispered,
"Auntie, can I call Mommy? I don't feel well, I miss Mommy."
Wang Meijuan touched her forehead again:
"You do have a bit of a fever, but kids catch colds easily.
"Come on, drink some more water."
Lin Wanyi really couldn't sleep, so she called Wang Keke's smartwatch.
On the other end, Wang Hao held the watch and smiled wickedly.
He slept until dawn and woke up in an incredibly good mood.
He hummed a song while brushing his teeth.
Zhang Cuihua saw him:
"Wang Hao, what are you so happy about?
"Did your mom find you another wife?"
He didn't say anything, but Liu Chunlan took a sip of porridge and said,
"Zhang Cuihua, believe it or not, Lin Wanyi will be coming back today."
"Are you kidding?"
Zhang Cuihua didn't believe it at all:
"She was bullied so badly by you guys, and almost broke a leg last time.
"She finally managed to escape, how could she possibly come back?
"Liu Chunlan, you must still be dreaming."
Liu Chunlan finished her last sip of porridge:
"Just you watch. In a few hours, she'll come crying and begging me."
Zhang Cuihua couldn't believe it no matter what. When she got home, she said to Wu Qin:
"Qinqin, that Liu Chunlan said Lin Wanyi is coming back today.
"How is that possible? She had such a hard time getting out."
Wu Qin didn't believe it either.
She immediately sent a message to Lin Wanyi:
"Liu Chunlan said you're coming back today? Wanyi, is it true?"
Lin Wanyi quickly called her back, her voice full of exhaustion:
"Sister Qin, have you seen Keke?
"Wang Hao took Keke away when I wasn't paying attention.
"He said he took her back to Wangjiacun. Have you seen her?"
Wu Qin immediately went to the second-floor window:
"No, I only saw Wang Hao and Liu Chunlan. I really didn't see Keke.
"I didn't even hear her voice. Wanyi, are you sure she's back?"
Lin Wanyi was extremely anxious:
"Yes, I tracked Keke's watch, it's in Wangjiacun.
"Sister Qin, I'm getting off the train soon. Can you help me keep an eye out? If you see her, send me a message right away, okay?"
Wu Qin immediately promised her:
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you. Don't worry, please don't worry."
How could Lin Wanyi not worry?
But worrying was useless.
When the train arrived at the station, Lin Wanyi was the first one standing by the door.
Sitting in the taxi, Li Suhua reminded them:
"Let's go to the police station in town first and go with the police."
The driver heard this and took them directly to the town police station.
When Zhang Yuan saw it was Lin Jiajun and Lin Wanyi again, he was secretly pleased.
Last time, because he followed Lin Jiajun, they successfully destroyed a human trafficking ring.
He was highly praised and commended by his superiors for following the case the whole way.
Now, seeing them again, he personally took the report:
"Why are you guys back again?"
Lin Wanyi begged him:
"My daughter was taken away by Wang Hao. Officer, please help me, help me."
Zhang Yuan didn't hesitate: "Get in the car."
When Lin Wanyi and the police appeared in Wangjiacun together.
The village became lively again.
The villagers all gathered around. Wang Xiu'e really couldn't understand:
"Lin Wanyi, why did you come back again?
"Are you crazy? What's so good about Wang Hao?
"I really can't figure it out."
Others chimed in:
"Yeah, seeing how hard it was for you to leave last time, it's really frustrating to see you fail to meet expectations."
"Lin Wanyi, you deserve it."
"Deserve what?"
Wu Qin said loudly: "What do you all know? It's not that Wanyi wanted to come back.
"It's Wang Hao who secretly took Keke away. Keke is the child Wanyi carried for ten months.
"With Wang Hao taking her child away like this, how could she not be anxious? How could she not come back?"
The onlookers finally understood.
Wang Xiu'e was the first to point at the Wang family's yard and scold:
"Wang Hao, aren't you just bullying people?
"A child is a mother's life. How can you be so shameless?"
