Chapter 844: Chapter 832
He pulled Gu Xiaoning over forcefully, "How did you promise me just now?"
"I..." Gu Xiaoning frowned, hating this father to the extreme, "I promised I wouldn’t regret it! But, Little Zheng isn’t feeling well! Can we take him to the hospital and talk after seeing a doctor?"
"No need!"
Gu’s Father obviously didn’t care, "If he was going to die, he would’ve done so long ago! How many times has he been beaten since he was little and never died? That idiot bastard has a hard life!"
"You..." Gu Xiaoning gritted her teeth in hatred, this was not her father, he was a beast!
"Come with me!" Gu’s Father ran out of patience, "If you keep dawdling, do you believe I’ll kick him a few more times and really send him to Western Heaven?"
"No!"
Gu Xiaoning shielded Zheng in front, tears streaming down, she was really scared, her eyes full of fear, "I’ll listen to you, I’ll do as you say! Please spare Little Zheng!"
"Humph!" Gu’s Father pulled his daughter up, "Let’s go!"
"Little Zheng!" Gu Xiaoning turned to look at her brother, who still maintained his original curled-up position, eliciting a pang of heartache at just one glance.
I’m sorry, Little Zheng... your sister tried her best...
...
Sister Gu returned home, and the neighbors rushed over, "Sister Gu! Why are you just getting back! Something happened at home!"
"What?"
Sister Gu was startled, hurriedly rushed in, only to see all the doors wide open, the house clearly rummaged through and chaotic...
Her daughter Gu Xiaoning was missing, her son Little Zheng curled up in a corner, as if severely traumatized.
"Little Zheng!" Sister Gu quickly went forward, "Little Zheng, where’s your sister?"
Little Zheng didn’t move, trembling with fear.
Sister Gu had no choice but to ask the neighbor, "What happened?"
"I don’t know!" The neighbor shook their head, "It was like this when I came over! Could it be..."
Sister Gu paused, thinking of that possibility... Could it be the children’s father had come back!
There wasn’t any money left at home; for him to rummage like this, he surely didn’t find anything.
But, where is Ningning? Why isn’t she here? Sister Gu couldn’t conceive why her husband took the daughter...
"Little Zheng," Sister Gu helped her son up, "Where does it hurt? Mommy will take you to the hospital, okay?"
"..." Little Zheng didn’t speak, suddenly let out a scream, "Ah..."
The scream was sharp and piercing, shocking everyone.
"Oh dear, Sister Gu, Little Zheng must have been severely traumatized!"
Sister Gu furrowed her brow, reached to pull apart Little Zheng’s T-shirt... her heart sank, indeed... Little Zheng had been beaten! It must be the husband, definitely him! That beast, hurting her child again!
"Be good, Little Zheng," Sister Gu held back tears, "Mommy will take you to find your sister..."
Upon hearing this, Little Zheng responded, though he didn’t look at his mom or speak, he calmed down.
Sister Gu’s eyes welled up, "Be good, Little Zheng, let’s go!"
With coaxing and pleading, Sister Gu led Little Zheng out to the alley.
At the alley entrance, Le Zhengsheng arrived again, driving.
Suddenly seeing Sister Gu and Little Zheng, Little Zheng’s appearance didn’t seem right. Le Zhengsheng’s heart sank, he immediately pushed open the car door and got out, walking quickly over, "Auntie, what’s wrong with Little Zheng?"
Little Zheng saw Le Zhengsheng, anxiously flustered, his mouth moving, "Brother! Brother! Brother..."
His words were limited, unexpectedly calling Le Zhengsheng three times!
Sister Gu couldn’t hold back, tears streaming out, "Ah Sheng..."
Le Zhengsheng furrowed his brows, patted Little Zheng’s shoulder, and looked at Sister Gu, "What exactly happened? Where’s Ningning?"
Le Zhengsheng asked, making Sister Gu hesitate to speak truthfully.
She had driven Le Zhengsheng away after all!
Le Zhengsheng grew anxious, "Auntie, please speak up!"
Sister Gu struggled, "I don’t know, I’ve been busy outside all day, Ningning and Little Zheng were locked at home by me... even added a lock outside Ningning’s small room..."
Le Zhengsheng was stunned, so that was it!
Ningning had been locked in the house! No wonder he hadn’t seen her for days!
"But," Sister Gu cried, "When I got home, Ningning was gone... Little Zheng was beaten, lying on the ground! It must be her father who came back! He rummaged through the house and, without finding money, I don’t know if Ningning was taken away by him!"
"Why would he take Ningning away?"
Le Zhengsheng furrowed his brows, his tone not good.
"I..." Sister Gu was taken aback, "I don’t know either, it’s never happened before! However, Ningning wouldn’t abandon Little Zheng unless she’d been taken away by him!"
Le Zhengsheng’s brows furrowed tighter, "How’s Little Zheng?"
"Not clear, we’re just about to take him to the hospital!"
Le Zhengsheng promptly opened the car door, "Get in!"
"..." Sister Gu was stunned, "This..."
"Quickly get in!" Le Zhengsheng had no time to waste, "First, take Little Zheng to the hospital, and then think of a way to find Ningning."
Sister Gu, feeling ashamed, said, "Ah... okay."
She wanted to say thank you, but it was too awkward to speak.
...
At the hospital.
"Bone fracture?" Sister Gu couldn’t believe it, jumping up.
Looking at Little Zheng lying on the bed, she couldn’t help but choke up, "Little Zheng, my poor child!"
Her husband was inhuman! Not recognizing his own son was one thing... how could he go as far as to beat him into a bone fracture?
"Doctor, does he need to be hospitalized?"
The doctor shook his head, writing a prescription, "No hospitalization needed, make sure he rests at home, lie down as much as possible, and... I’ll prescribe some medication, watch his diet, nourish him, come back if the pain gets severe."
"Ah, okay... thank you, doctor."
In the corridor, Le Zhengsheng finished a phone call and walked over.
Sister Gu supported Little Zheng out, Le Zhengsheng naturally took the prescription from her hand, "Did you get the medicine? I’ll go get it."
"Ah Sheng..." Sister Gu called him, embarrassed, "Did you... about Ningning...?"
Le Zhengsheng furrowed his brows, explaining, "I’ve already called friends, they will coordinate with the local police for assistance in finding her."
He sighed gently... worried!
Gu Xiaoning’s father could beat his son into a fracture, how kind could he be to his daughter?
"I’ll go get the medicine."
Le Zhengsheng turned towards the pharmacy, got the medicine and returned, "Auntie, Little Zheng... I’ll take you home!"
Sister Gu supported her son, speechless with guilt.
Le Zhengsheng escorted them home, then took his leave.
"Ah Sheng... you’ve worked hard, Auntie, thank you." Sister Gu was deeply embarrassed, this thanks seemed so inadequate.
Le Zhengsheng pulled a slight smile, "No need... I haven’t done much, Ningning hasn’t been found yet... please take good care of Little Zheng, when there’s news about Ningning, I will inform you immediately."
"Ah... okay."
Watching Le Zhengsheng leave, Sister Gu sighed heavily.
This young man, he’s good in every way, but... why did he have to get that kind of illness? He looks fine now, but... ultimately Ningning can’t rely on him for a lifetime!
