As a child, Ding Xiaoi had been told that her father worked outside the village and earned a lot of money. As a result, she was all set to leave the village by herself to find her father, whom she barely rembered, and return ho with the money to help treat her nephew’s illness. Her youngest brother saw her getting ready to leave and insisted on accompanying her. So, the two of them left the village.
“You said that the person who lied to you was a girl about your age?”
Jiang Yao asked, “A human trafficker in her teens? A girl?”
“Yes, she had short hair and a mole in her eyebrows.”
Ding Xiaoi wiped her tears. “Later, when I was locked up, I heard people call her Young Miss, so I knew she was the leader of those human traffickers.”
Jiang Yao was silent for a long ti before she asked again, “Does she know your na?”
Ding Xiaoi thought for a few seconds and nodded. “I told her my brother’s na and mine.”
With a mole in her eyebrow and addressed as a Young Miss, Jiang Yao knew it could only be Wen Yunfang.
If Ding Xiaoi knew that she and her brother were sold by the daughter of her father’s mistress, who was also her biological father’s adopted daughter, she would be in despair.
Jiang Yao thought Wen Yunfang was the most vicious woman. Even though Wen Yunfang had only been 15 or 16 years old at that ti, she had already gone out to deceive people. That was an indisputable fact.
Jiang Yao wondered if Wen Yunfang had recognized Ding Xiaoi back then. She must have known that Ding Xiaoi and her brother were Brother Ding’s children. Under such circumstances, Wen Yunfang had even sold Ding Xiaoi and her brother.
Did Wen Yunfang do that because she recognized them and feared the two siblings would take away Brother Ding’s love for her?
Ding Xiaoi and Brother Ding really looked alike. Wen Yunfang would not have had any doubts about that.
Lu Xingzhi did not show up. The two soldiers arrived 20 minutes later. They brought Jiang Yao and Ding Xiaoi to the hospital.
Jiang Yao did not take off her mask and hat the entire ti. When they arrived at the hospital, Jiang Yao finally understood why Ding Xiaoi trusted her more after hearing about the soldiers.
People in the countryside naturally trusted the soldiers because of stories about the People’s Liberation Army soldiers sacrificing themselves to save others.
Ding Xiaoi did not trust the police officers who had hurt her, but she trusted the soldiers. When the child was lying quietly on the hospital bed receiving the infusion, Ding Xiaoi knelt to the two soldiers and begged them to help her find her younger brother. She wanted them to help her find the human traffickers from back then and shoot them.
The two soldiers thought about finding an excuse to place Ding Xiaoi in the army temporarily. When they heard Ding Xiaoi’s plea, they imdiately agreed to Ding Xiaoi’s request. They promised her that they would investigate the matter.
Ding Xiaoi was successfully transferred to the army. Then, Jiang Yao decided to leave, with the excuse that she had to catch a train] She bade farewell to Ding Xiaoi and left the hospital.
Lu Xingzhi was waiting for Jiang Yao at the hospital. When he saw her co out, he quickly went up and asked about the situation in the ward.
“It’s very smooth. Ding Xiaoi will go to the army to stay with the two soldiers after the child is discharged from the hospital.” Jiang Yao sighed. “Ding Xiaoi—that is really an unexpected gain for us.”
Jiang Yao sighed again. “It’s just that her experience is so miserable. Also, I don’t know where her brother is now.”
