Sweet Time Only for You: The Entanglement between Mr. Lu and Miss Song-Chapter 257: The Children’s Whereabouts Confirmed!
Song Yinyin nodded, reigniting hope.
This time, there was no room for error.
......
Another long and arduous wait. An entire afternoon passed, yet still no good news had returned, making Song Yinyin increasingly restless and uneasy.
She sat dazed on the sofa, staring blankly at a certain spot.
Suddenly, she heard the faint sound of a woman sobbing nearby.
She turned her head and found that the person crying was actually Teacher Wen.
Teacher Wen had stayed at the police station, not leaving a single step, even though Song Yinyin had tried persuading her several times to go home, rest, and wait for news, but Teacher Wen refused to leave.
Song Yinyin felt that Teacher Wen was truly a dedicated and responsible person.
Feeling a sense of shared hardship, Song Yinyin went over to comfort her.
"Teacher Wen, here you go."
She took out a pack of tissues and handed it to Teacher Wen.
Teacher Wen nodded, said ’thank you,’ and took the tissues to wipe her eyes, although she still sobbed faintly.
"Miss Song, do you think... Luolu will be alright? She isn’t in good health and often falls sick. After her previous dance performance, she only changed into a thin piece of clothing. I wonder if she’ll be cold at night..."
Teacher Wen wept as she wiped her tears.
Her worries were undoubtedly Yinyin’s own worries as well.
Song Yinyin took a deep breath, suppressing her own anxiety, and comforted:
"Teacher Wen, don’t worry. Luolu is a good child, and Song Dabai is with her. I think both children will look out for each other."
Heaven knows, her current mood was no better than that of Teacher Wen.
So, these words were as much to comfort Teacher Wen as they were to console herself.
She prayed in her heart, hoping her son would be strong, to protect himself well, and also Luolu.
Just then, Officer Zhang walked into the break room excitedly and said to Lu Jihan from afar:
"Mr. Lu, we’ve confirmed the children’s whereabouts. They’re at the residence of that man called Daming’s ex-girlfriend!"
Great!
Lu Jihan immediately stood up, his gaze filled with determination.
Song Yinyin also heard the good news and eagerly followed Officer Zhang outside, but Lu Jihan held her back.
"I’m going to rescue Dabai!"
Song Yinyin tried to shake off his hand.
"Don’t go!" Lu Jihan admonished softly.
"I’m going!"
"Be good! Stay here at the police station with Teacher Wen. I’ll take some people to rescue the children, nothing will happen!"
Song Yinyin wanted to say more, but two other police officers stopped her, and she could only watch helplessly as Lu Jihan left with Officer Zhang and his team.
......
In the northern suburbs of the Imperial City, in a slum area.
The residential buildings in this area were extremely shabby, but because of the large transient population, it made it easier to hide. Daming and his friend Wei Zai were hiding in the home of his ex-girlfriend.
"Hey, Daming, is this place safe? What if your girlfriend rats us out, then what?"
"Relax, that woman only has eyes for money. I gave her some money, told her I had an urgent need, and she handed me the keys."
Wei Zai nodded, glancing towards the corner at the two small huddled figures.
Both children were filthy. Song Dabai’s hair was a bit messy, and the corner of his large monkey-print T-shirt was torn, his little face covered in dirt.
As for Luolu beside him, her situation was even worse.
Luolu’s small face was smudged with dirt, tear streaks under her eyes. Wearing thin clothing, her lips trembled constantly, appearing somewhat blue.
