Chapter 2151: Chapter 2054: A Few Good Words
In the police station, everyone, regardless of age or gender, felt deeply outraged by the actions of this couple. However, after reading the interrogation report, the police chief appeared quite anxious and flustered.
While others were unaware, he was very clear that there were many human traffickers in the Jinling area over the past few years. They were never fully captured, as these criminals operated in gangs and had extremely strong anti-detection skills. Once a child was abducted, it was very difficult to get them back.
Therefore, the chief was particularly worried that the little girl named Tongtong might have been kidnapped by traffickers. If that were the case, their police station would be in serious trouble.
The attention Miss Huo Sining paid to the little girl named Tongtong indicated that the girl had a close relationship with Miss Huo Sining. If Miss Huo requested their help to find the girl, it would be a disaster.
If the girl couldn’t be found, based on his past experience, he feared that higher authorities would blame him, and he might not be able to secure his position.
With this thought, cold sweat broke out on the chief’s forehead as he awkwardly looked at Huo Sining:
"Miss Huo, is this child yours..."
Before the chief could finish his sentence, Huo Sining smiled and said, "Director He, don’t worry, the child wasn’t lost. I had someone pick her up directly yesterday, and now she’s well and safe with me. You can rest assured."
Upon hearing Huo Sining’s words, Director He immediately breathed a huge sigh of relief and visibly relaxed, nodding repeatedly in agreement: "That’s good, that’s good, as long as the child is safe."
However, Huo Sining’s expression suddenly turned serious: "The child is safe, but what this couple did was truly indecent."
"I’m not afraid of being open with you. Frankly, a friend of mine had an accident some time ago and has since passed away. On her deathbed, she told me about the child, and only then did I learn about it. In her critical condition, she entrusted the child to me."
"I originally thought the child was well placed, and I only intended to come and check without disturbing her life. But I hadn’t expected the child would suffer like this in Jinling."
"If not for my spontaneous visit to Jinling, I might never have known the child was in such distress. Since my friend handed the child over to me, I absolutely cannot allow her to suffer like this anymore. Moreover, such a significant grievance to her mother and her was due to this couple’s deception. If we do not address this, my friend probably won’t rest in peace even in death. Don’t you agree?"
Director He immediately understood Huo Sining’s meaning: "Yes, yes, what you say is true. What this couple did is intolerable to anyone. You can rest assured that with me here, this couple won’t be able to pull any tricks!"
Huo Sining was quite satisfied with Director He’s perceptiveness. However, she remained serious and said, "Director He, I don’t like to leverage power to pressure others. We should act according to regulations and procedures, doing exactly what needs to be done, with everything based on the law."
Director He nodded repeatedly: "You are right. Our police station would never wrong a good person, nor would we let a bad one go. We’ll handle this case officially, and this couple won’t escape their fate. Just the charges of human trafficking and child abuse are enough to punish them severely! Rest assured, the external handling will be impeccable, and we won’t let anyone have a bad word to say."
Huo Sining nodded, smiling, and said, "Director He handles things cleanly and efficiently, and the efficiency of your station is very high. Rest assured, I will undoubtedly speak well of you in front of my family head."
Upon hearing this from Huo Sining, Director He was overjoyed.
Director He knew very well who Huo Sining was. This woman was now an official celebrity, well recognized in various departments.
Huo Sining was now the granddaughter-in-law of the Gu Family and a disciple of treasure appraisal maestro Zhou Shitao. All the major families, like the Gu, Zhou, and Huang families, had good relations with her. Moreover, there were rumors that she was also Chief Lu’s granddaughter. Although this had never been confirmed, Director He believed that rumors were not baseless. Even if she wasn’t Chief Lu’s granddaughter, she undoubtedly had many connections with the Lu Family.
Having the opportunity to establish a good relationship with someone like her was certainly beneficial and came as a rare opportunity. If he could handle this matter properly, it would be a major favor, ensuring a bright future ahead for him once this woman put in a good word for him!
Director He grew more enthusiastic towards Huo Sining and her companions, becoming increasingly attentive.
Huo Sining did not stay long in Jinling. Once the case was brought to prosecution, she took Yingzi and Su Qingqing back to the Magic Capital. With Director He handling the matter, it was certain that Tong Jian and Zhang Jing would face prison time.
After returning to the Magic Capital, Huo Sining sent off Su Qingqing and Yingzi before bringing out Tongtong.
The little girl was startled when Huo Sining released her from Space. She remembered clearly that just a second ago, she was washing cold vegetables by the faucet in her yard, and in the next second, she was in a luxuriously decorated room.
Stunned by the scene before her, Tongtong was bewildered, her eyes wide open, unable to believe what she saw. But upon seeing Huo Sining, she quickly calmed down.
The child remembered Huo Sining, recalling how this sister had bought her tin cans and trash bottles for a hundred yuan back then. That was the first large sum of money she ever received. The little girl was very excited about the hundred yuan but dared not show her excitement too obviously, fearing her parents would notice and take the money. So, she cautiously hid the hundred yuan in her undergarments.
Now, upon meeting Huo Sining, the little girl instinctively felt a bit nervous. She cautiously looked at Huo Sining and asked:
"Sister, did you regret and come back to collect the hundred yuan from me?"
Seeing the little girl’s nervous and timid demeanor, in contrast with her mother’s confidence and pride, Huo Sining couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache. She squatted down, gently patted the girl’s head, shook her head, and softly comforted her:
"Tongtong, from now on, you will live here with me, and I will support you to go to school. What do you think?"
The little girl was taken aback by Huo Sining’s words and instinctively looked around. After curiously staring at the room for a while, she hesitated and asked:
"What about my mom and dad and my brother?"
