Chapter 418: How did you know the child was sold?
Upon seeing the corpse, Jiang Qianhui froze on the spot, as if her soul had been ripped away.
When the onlookers saw the body, some of the more timid ones couldn't stop vomiting, and the scene was chaotic.
Gu Xunjing stepped forward and covered Jiang Qianhui's eyes, saying nervously, "Suihui, don't look."
Gu Xunjing gently covered Jiang Qianhui's eyes with his hand, and Jiang Qianhui's vision went black. The noisy scene seemed to have been paused.
All that could be heard was Gu Xunjing's firm yet gentle voice.
"Sui Sui, no matter what happens, I will face it with you."
"Little Jiang Bao...is he gone?"
Jiang Qianhui's voice trembled and was filled with sorrow.
Gu Xunjing hugged Jiang Qianhui tightly. At this moment, little Jiang Bao was in grave danger. After all, although the identity had not yet been confirmed, the corpse was probably Wang Jun.
Wang Jun died, and Xiao Jiangbao, who was only two months old, had no ability to escape on his own and was in even greater danger.
Tragedy was inevitable.
"Sui Sui, let's go back first. I'll handle this."
Gu Xunjing wanted to send Jiang Qianhui back, not wanting her to face such a terrible thing.
Jiang Qianhui removed Gu Xunjing's hand from her eyes, and said with a sorrowful yet firm look in her eyes, "No matter what, I must get an answer. Whether it's good or bad, I must find Xiao Jiangbao."
Losing her child twice in such a short period of time was a huge blow to Jiang Qianhui. It felt like being cut into her heart piece by piece with a knife, causing her body to tremble with pain.
Firefighters were still searching the scene and confirming the identity of the deceased. Jiang Qianhui calmed herself down and decisively stepped forward to the firefighters, saying, "So this person should be Wang Jun. You can contact his family and have them come to identify the body."
The firefighter was shocked to hear Jiang Qianhui's words. He looked at her with suspicion and asked, "How do you know this person's identity?"
"He was the tenant of the house that burned down. He stole my child. Please search the fire scene again carefully to see if there is anything there..."
Jiang Qianhui choked up, unable to say anything more. If the child were found in the fire, the child would end up like Wang Jun.
Recalling the scene of the white sheet being blown open by the wind, revealing the charred corpse, Jiang Qianhui's heart ached even more. She clutched her heart tightly, afraid she would faint.
The firefighter said, "We will search the fire scene carefully and arrange for Wang Jun's family to come and identify him. Please take care of yourself."
"Thank you."
The firefighters went back up to search the fire site. Jiang Qianhui stood alone, looking up at the place where the fire had started, her eyes somewhat vacant.
Gu Xunjing held Jiang Qianhui's shoulder, wanting her to know that he had always been by her side.
But at this moment, Jiang Qianhui's body was still so cold, as if she had been soaking in seawater all night.
After the search was completed, Jiang Qianhui immediately went up to ask the firefighters questions.
Have you found the child?
Jiang Qianhui's voice trembled, and her eyes looked like those of a small animal afraid of being hurt.
The firefighter took off his helmet and said, "We didn't find the child."
Hearing the firefighter's words, Jiang Qianhui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the child is not found, there is still hope for the child's survival.
Gu Xunjing happily said to Jiang Qianhui, "Suihui, if we didn't find Xiao Jiangbao, it means Xiao Jiangbao wasn't in the fire. Xiao Jiangbao is alright."
Firefighter: "A burnt cell phone was also found at the scene. We will hand it over to the police, and they should be able to recover the data. We'll leave the rest to the police."
Jiang Qianhui bowed to the firefighters and said, "Thank you."
……
When Jiang Qianhui returned home, Yang Huirong immediately came up to her and asked, "How did it go? Did you find it? I told you, don't waste your time."
Jiang Qianhui remained silent, while Gu Xunjing said, "Wang Jun may have already been burned to death. The police are still confirming his identity, but it should be him."
Yang Huirong exclaimed in shock, "What did you say? That person has been burned to death. Then... what about the child?"
Yang Huirong asked cautiously, and at this moment, a rare hint of worry could be seen on her face.
"The child was not found at the fire scene. I think the child is probably safe now."
Hearing Gu Xunjing say that no child was found at the fire scene, Yang Huirong breathed a sigh of relief, then put on a stern face and said, "I think that child was probably sold by that person, probably to a family without children. Since that person is dead, we don't know where the child was sold to. Let's just let this matter go, and you don't need to waste any more effort looking for the child. That child has no blood relation to you, so why waste your energy?"
Yang Huirong continued rambling on, but Jiang Qianhui's gaze sharpened.
"Mom, how did you know the child was sold?"
Upon hearing Jiang Qianhui's words, Yang Huirong said in a panic, "I was just guessing. That man stole the child. Since it was for money, he probably thought he couldn't get any money from us, so he sold the child. Now that man has burned to death and the child has been sold, this matter has reached a dead end. There's no way to resolve it. Let's just let it go."
"Are you just going to let it go like this? If you hadn't told Wang Jun when he called that we had already called the police, how could he have sold the child? If the child was sold, you also bear some responsibility. Mom, don't you feel any remorse?"
Yang Huirong, enraged, said, "What are you saying? That man has already burned to death. If the child hadn't been sold, he would have burned to death with him. How can you blame me? If the child were still alive, he should be thanking me even if he had been sold."
Jiang Qianhui was furious inside, but she restrained herself and said, "Mom, why do you hate Xiao Jiangbao so much? You used to only hate my brother, but now I find that you especially hate Xiao Jiangbao. Why is that?"
Yang Huirong is quite friendly to others, but she hates Jiang Che to the bone. However, Jiang Che is her husband's illegitimate son, so it's understandable that she hates him. But why does she hate Xiao Jiangbao, a child who is only two months old?
Feeling that her thoughts had been seen through, Yang Huirong said somewhat flusteredly, "Jiang Qianhui, what are you saying? I don't hate that child. I just feel that the child has no blood relation with us, so why care so much? If you like children, hurry up and marry Gu Xunjing and have a child of your own. I can also help you take care of the child."
Yang Huirong's words made Jiang Qianhui feel dizzy.
Gu Xunjing said to Yang Huirong, "Aunt Yang, please stop talking. Sui Sui is tired too. I'll help her go rest first. As for the child, our child is Xiao Jiangbao."
Yang Huirong is Jiang Qianhui's mother, and Gu Xunjing doesn't want any conflict with her. He can only show her through his actions that their child is Xiao Jiang Bao. He won't force Jiang Qianhui to use a surrogate, and he'll make her give up on her "for their own good" intentions!
