Gu Qingchen was just about to get up after reinserting the needle for the intravenous infusion into Xiao Yuer’s hand back veins, allowing the dication to drip back into the child’s bloodstream.
"Bei Ran, Xiao Yuer has been frightened, and what she needs most now is for you to stay by her side, not leaving her side at all. However, this is only a temporary solution, not a cure. I’ll go check the school’s hobby class to see who is bullying a child so badly!" Gu Qingchen said.
Bei Ran nodded: "Okay, be careful yourself."
After Gu Qingchen left, Bei Ran held Xiao Yuer, sang a few nursery rhys to her, and the child gradually cald down in her arms and then fell asleep with her eyes closed.
Gu Qingchen arrived at the hobby class with a teacher and saw that there were caras outside the building. If soone maliciously ca in to scare the child, it would either be an employee of the building or soone from outside.
He followed the teacher from the hobby class into the school, entered into the restroom the child talked about, and saw that the glass shards on the floor had all been cleaned up.
Since restrooms are secluded areas, they usually do not have caras installed, so it’s unknown who might have co here.
"Teacher, I want to see where those shards were disposed of when you cleaned up here," Gu Qingchen asked.
"Auntie, don’t throw it away yet..." the teacher hurriedly caught up and said, "Dr. Gu wants to take a look at these things..."
Gu Qingchen opened the remnants; he put on gloves and examined everything thoroughly, most of which were broken shards.
Gu Qingchen then rummaged through the trash can outside and saw a facemask with red, white, and black colors – it resembled a ghostly face.
This mask, at a glance, looked like a ghost.
Gu Qingchen guessed that soone must have worn this to frighten the child in the restroom!
Another thing he was certain of was that this person was definitely malicious and not just acting thoughtlessly.
"Get your supervisor here! I want to report this to the police." Gu Qingchen said, "A child was injured in your school, and you can’t identify the perpetrator? What will you do if this attacker returns and more children continue to get hurt?"
"But what if reporting it damages the school’s reputation?" the teacher still worried.
Gu Qingchen sternly said: "The reputation of the school is indeed important, but the safety of the children is most crucial. A five-year-old child was terrified to scream and cry in the restroom. Adults might understand soone dressed up as a ghost playing a prank but think about how it could damage a young child’s psyche and world view if not properly addressed."
He is a doctor, he understands this better than anyone else.
The teacher was intimidated by his stern manner, hurriedly went to get the head of the hobby class, who ca forward and said: "Dr. Gu, we will definitely handle this matter seriously. We are also looking for the perpetrator right now. Could you let us handle this internally first? If we can’t handle it internally, then we will turn it over to the police."
"But, are you sure you can handle it properly internally?" Gu Qingchen’s voice beca even more stern.
The director imdiately said: "Our hobby class has an autistic child who loves to draw. He sits at the entrance drawing pictures of everyone who cos to our hobby class, including those using the restroom. He has a great mory and can recall every feature of the people who co in. Dr. Gu, co and see, he has drawn so many people already. We are actively investigating... Of course, we can’t rule out it being one of our staff. Regardless, we will deal with this matter sternly and will not tolerate any negligence."
Gu Qingchen walked over to the autistic child and saw he indeed had a large white sheet filled with various people’s drawings.
While he has autism, he also has another gift granted to him.
That is, he can depict each person’s deanor and likeness so vividly, as if they were springing to life on the paper.
Gu Qingchen looked through each of the child’s drawings and also saw a drawing of Bei Ran holding Xiao Yuer’s hand as they entered.
Although the autistic child may not communicate with the outside world, it does not an his inner world isn’t rich and colorful.
