Chapter 999: Chapter 999: One Must Always Be On Guard Against Others Chapter 999: Chapter 999: One Must Always Be On Guard Against Others When she arrived, she saw the area crowded with people, so she shouted aloud, “Everybody step back, step back, don’t crowd around here, it might affect the patient.”
After squeezing in, she had a nearby train attendant disperse the crowd and said to the woman holding a child, “I’m a doctor, I can take a look at your child.”
Everyone was sowhat skeptical of such a young woman, but at that mont, other than a barefoot doctor and a gynecologist who had co over, there were no other doctors available.
The woman holding the child turned to Luo Qiao, unable to concern herself with anything else, “Please save my son, what would I do if sothing happened to him?”
The child’s face had already turned purplish blue, and he seed unable to breathe. The barefoot doctor spoke up, “The child choked on so food, patting his back didn’t help.”
Luo Qiao took the child from the woman’s arms and quickly perford the Heimlich maneuver. After several attempts, a piece of fruit was expelled from the child’s mouth, and then the child burst into tears.
The people nearby finally took a sigh of relief, and the woman embraced her child and started crying too, thanking Luo Qiao while crying, “Thank you so much.”
Seeing the child was alright, Luo Qiao was about to leave when the barefoot doctor stopped her, “Could you teach that thod you just used?”
Luo Qiao nodded, took him to the connection between the train carriages, explained the Heimlich maneuver in various situations, including precautions, and made sure he understood before she left for her own carriage.
The next day when she got ho, her two little girls were playing in the backyard, which had a space specifically set aside with posts supporting a roof, beneath which were a slide, a rocking horse, a seesaw, and swings built by Elder Rong.
Upon seeing their mother return, the two little ones stopped playing and sprinted over.
Luo Qiao opened her arms to catch the two little treasures, “Mommy’s back.”
Yanyan said, “Missed mommy.”
Yueyue then kissed Luo Qiao on the face.
After a mont of affection, Luo Qiao played wildly with her two children for a while, and the playti might not have ended had Rong Daniang not co over to call them for dinner.
After dinner, the two little ones really started to chat, even ntioning a recent recurring encounter with a lady who invited them to visit her ho.
But Yueyue said, “Mom, the way that lady looked at us was just like the Big Bad Wolf looking at Little Red Riding Hood.”
Although it seed like a joke, it alerted Luo Qiao, “You two listen to mommy, never follow any strangers. Such people could be kidnappers, and if you’re taken away, you may never see daddy and mommy again.”
Yanyan tilted her head, “But we’ve already seen that lady several tis, she’s not a stranger.”
Luo Qiao picked up both children, seriously analyzed the situation for them, and continued, “Perhaps mommy isn’t entirely right, but as they say, ‘Better safe than sorry.’ We must be cautious.”
The children understood, Yueyue spoke, “Mommy, we understand, we won’t go with anyone without an adult’s permission.”
Luo Qiao let the children play with building blocks while she went to the front yard to discuss the matter with Rong Daniang, who confird she had indeed seen that woman several tis recently.
Rong Daniang looked at Luo Qiao as she fell silent, “Is there a problem?”
Luo Qiao, showing signs of worry, replied, “You said her accent doesn’t sound like it’s from around here, and she’s never been seen before, yet she has no children at Yanyan’s kindergarten and yet she repeatedly appeared in front of you over just a few days—I feel there might be sothing fishy.
Of course, it could just be being overly sensitive and making a mountain out of a molehill, but still, it’s better to be cautious.”
Just to be safe, “Daniang, let’s have Yanyan and Yueyue take a few days off. I’ll have soone investigate this, and hopefully it turns out I’m just being paranoid. We can send them back when things clear up.”
Hearing this, Rong Daniang also felt that the woman might indeed be suspicious, as she always approached them specifically, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.
The next day, Luo Qiao called the kindergarten and asked for a week off for the children.
Then she called the security company currently under her na. The person she contacted was Lu Yi’s good friend, Shen Jianzhong, who was also the head of that branch. Luo Qiao explained the situation and described the woman’s appearance, asking him to discreetly conduct an investigation.
After hearing everything, Shen Jianzhong reassured, “Don’t worry, I’ll send soone to keep watch imdiately and will definitely clarify everything about this woman. I’ll update you as soon as possible.”
He himself wondered whether Lu Yi had recently offended soone, or if it was soone he had previously caught seeking revenge. This was no small matter; he decided to personally take two people with him for surveillance.
