"I was busy and didn't see anything, Xiao Li, did you?" Chen Decheng was sweating profusely.
Xiao Li shook her head, "I was in the kitchen, I didn't even know the boss's wife ca out to do the cash register; otherwise, I would have definitely stopped her. Who knew the boss could be so careless..."
Chen Decheng's fingers were tightly clenched into a fist, and it seed like he was already drowning in guilt and self-reproach.
At this point, assigning bla was completely aningless.
"Xiao Li, no matter where Beichen is, call him back." My fingernails dug into my flesh, the pain bringing
a slight awakening, "I rember there's a surveillance cara at the cash register."
The restaurant wasn't big, only the cash register had a cara set up for surveillance.
Perhaps the surveillance footage could reveal so clues...
Chen Decheng got up at once, heading to the computer, "I'll pull up the surveillance right now."
In critical monts, Chen Decheng was indeed reliable.
Even though he was internally frantic, worried about the safety of his wife and child.
He still managed to pull up the surveillance footage from that ti with the fastest speed and accuracy.
I pressed fast forward, and several images flickered on the screen.
I hit the space bar to pause, and the fra froze on the scene where Chen Shufen's wrist was being grabbed by a female custor.
The woman's hat brim was very wide, making it hard to see her face.
I turned over Chen Shufen's wrist from left to right.
The boss's wife's skin was well-maintained, and on the back of her pale wrist.
There was a strange symbol that looked as if it had been carved in with a knife.
The mont I saw the symbol, I felt a mont of disorientation, "This person's body-hugging dress was stretched out in a strange way, undoubtedly, it was a male in won's clothing."
"I seem to have seen him sowhere before, that's right! That ti at the hospital, the man who was handing out Jade Pendants to everyone." Xiao Li suddenly recalled, looking at the man in won's clothing.
Deep down, I was filled with regret; we had already caught these two before.
If we had been ruthless, we could have eliminated them for the good of the people; none of this would be happening now.
I nodded: "It's them."
Chen Decheng asked hoarsely, "Then Yuanyuan, what on earth happened to your boss's wife? She... she's alright, isn't she?"
"The boss's wife is okay, but the child might... might not make it..."
A warmth slid from the corner of my eye.
At this mont, the ultrasound images of the male and female babies at the hospital kept replaying in my mind.
"What?" Chen Decheng's eyes turned bloodshot with impulse, "I'm going to find that person and kill him!! It just happened, he definitely hasn't left Spring Wind Town yet."
"Boss, don't be impulsive; the boss's wife needs you the most right now, you're the last person who can leave." I kept repeating in my head the notes from my father's book that I knew by heart.
Surprisingly, there wasn't a single one about preserving a pregnancy; with so many Life and Death Embroideries, how co there were none for treating pregnancy complications?
Beichen appeared just in ti, "Is the boss's wife cursed?"
"Yes, the fetus in her belly was hit by a curse that causes difficult labor for pregnant won, and I... don't know what to do." I looked eagerly at Beichen when I heard his voice.
He had been raised by Yu Longting, so perhaps he had a way.
Beichen nodded and took Chen Shufen's pulse, "Even though the fetus is cursed, the pregnant woman has a Peace Pouch for protection, so the fetus still has a faint heartbeat."
The Peace Pouch he ntioned must be the one I gave Chen Shufen a long ti ago; I didn't expect she would still wear it to this day, and the Peace Pouch was still effective over ti...
"Really? The baby is still alive!!" I was incredibly excited.
Indeed, deciding to call Beichen was the right choice.
He was very reliable!
Beichen's expression darkened, "But Snake Lord never taught
how to heal, though..."
"Though what! Brother Chen, say what you want to say all at once, don't keep
on tenterhooks, I'm dying of anxiety here." Xiao Li's eyes were bloodshot as she pulled at Beichen's collar.
Beichen wasn't angry; instead, he gently supported her lower back, stabilizing Xiao Li's center of gravity, his eyes flickering with a glint, "Though we could try asking Immortal Liu for help with Yuanyuan's influence, Immortal Liu might be willing to help, and there could be a chance."
