Early the next morning, Mu Qizhou knocked on the door and took Shen Nanyi to the restaurant for breakfast.

After the conversation on the terrace last night, the two of them were a little embarrassed when they met again, and they deliberately distanced themselves from each other.

Mu Qizhou was drinking coffee, checking messages on his mobile phone, and dealing with some official matters; while Shen Nanyi was immersed in breakfast, not even daring to raise his eyes.

After finishing breakfast, Mu Qizhou coughed, lowered his eyes and explained:

"Shen Nanyi, you were in a low mood last night, so..."

Shen Nanyi immediately stopped him:

"I understand, Mr. Mu. It is extremely unprofessional for me to bring my personal emotions to work. I will immediately adjust my mentality and be a decent, professional person who can control my emotions."

Mu Qizhou opened his mouth, as if he didn't know how to answer.

In the end, I could only nod muffledly, bringing this matter to an end.

They knew in their hearts that there was an insurmountable barrier separating the two people.

Mu Qizhou calmed down, his tone was calm, and he returned to his usual aloofness:

"What are Shen Lu's plans next?"

Shen Nanyi's eyelids moved and she took a deep breath: "Quick victory, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain."

Mu Qizhou felt suffocated.

Did she... mean something?

Shen Nanyi took a sip of milk, a circle of foam appeared on the corners of her lips, and her expression became a little gloomy:

"I received news from the police station last night that Xiao Lan's body... was found."

"..." Mu Qizhou was stunned: "Where did you find it?"

Although this result had been expected for a long time, it was really uncomfortable at this moment.

"It was discovered by fishermen rushing to sea near Qingshi Reef, three hundred miles away from downtown Nancheng City..."

Shen Nanyi's tears fell and wetted the paper towel on the table.

Mu Qizhou held the tissue and hesitated for a long time, but still suppressed the idea of ​​handing it to her.

"There is a high probability that he was swept away by the waves and drifted along the ocean current from Haicheng to Nancheng." Mu Qizhou lowered his eyes and analyzed, feeling very regretful.

Shen Nanyi could not imagine what kind of wandering his little body had endured during the hundreds of miles on the sea from Haicheng to Nancheng.

She was like a lonely boat floating in the cold sea, and her soul followed her all the way to Nancheng.

The ferryman who came to find her.

"How can there be such irresponsible parents in the world?"

Shen Nanyi really wanted to rush over and question Wu Qing right away, how important is a mobile phone?

So important that he left his daughter alone on the beach and let her be swept away by the waves.

After the incident, the child's parents were interviewed by the media and issued a missing person notice. They all unanimously believed that the child had been abducted.

Ana Shen stood up awkwardly, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and looked angry:

"No, I want to leave immediately. I can't bear it for a moment."

Mu Qizhou stood up, shook off his clothes, and put on his sunglasses: "Let's go."

The two once again took Xiao Lan to the door of Wu Qing's house yesterday, and he was about to go out.

Shen Nanyi stood in front of him and stopped him.

"Who are you?"

"Wu Qing, I am lawyer Shen Nanyi from Nancheng. Your daughter Wu Xin has been found."

A trace of panic flashed across Wu Qing's face, and suspicion quickly emerged: "Why should I trust you?"

Shen Nanyi was startled, then laughed angrily: "What's the benefit of lying to you?"

She pointed towards his house with both hands, and her impoverished family situation could be seen at a glance.

Just as Wu Qing was about to refute something, the pregnant woman in the room rushed out:

"Xiaoxin? Xiaoxin found it? Where is she? Where is she?"

Shen Nanyi looked at her with some sincerity.

Wu Xin's ghost hugged the pregnant woman's thigh: "Mom, Mom, I'm here, Xiaoxin is here."

Shen Nanyi and Mu Qizhou looked at each other and received the encouragement in his eyes.

She took a breath and said to the couple, "Can you go in and talk?"

Wu Qing hesitated for a moment and released his hand holding the door frame.

The pregnant woman’s name is Fang Qing.

Looking at my belly, I should be five or six months pregnant.

In other words, Wu Xin was already pregnant when her accident happened.

"Where is my daughter? Where is my daughter?"

Fang Qing kept looking behind Shen Nanyi and Mu Qizhou but didn't see the child, so she grabbed Shen Nanyi's arm anxiously.

Shen Nanyi's hand hurt a little when she grabbed it.

Mu Qizhou frowned, looked at the pregnant woman's belly, coughed twice and then finished.

He walked silently to Xiao Lan and covered her ears.

Shen Nanyi nodded with a solemn expression:

"The body of your daughter Wu Xin is currently at the Nancheng Criminal Investigation Brigade. Later, there should be a formal call informing you to claim it."

"Corpse...what did you say?!"

Fang Qing took a step back and almost fainted. Wu Qing was so frightened that he helped her:

"Wife, wife, don't scare me."

Xiaolan's soul rushed over: "Mom, mom, what's wrong with you, mom."

Fang Qing seemed to sense it and cried loudly.

Ana Shen shook his head and sighed.

"My child...why is she in Nancheng?"

Wu Qing helped Fang Qing sit down on the wooden sofa in the living room, lowered his head and sobbed.

"Wu Qing, your daughter was swept away by the waves and drifted to Nancheng along the direction of the ocean current."

Shen Nanyi said while looking at Xiaolan.

At this moment, she was lying on her mother's lap obediently, listening quietly to the adults talking.

Fang Qing and Wu Qing just sobbed muffledly and didn't seem to cause much trouble.

Ana Shen's heart sank, and her voice was cold: "Have you already guessed this result?"

Fang Qing suddenly covered her face and cried loudly: "It's all your fault. It's all your fault for taking the child out."

Wu Qing stood up and smashed the wall: "Blame me. Blame me."

Ana Shen's eyes turned red, and her palms tightened a little more.

This couple is still acting here.

Mu Qizhou was very calm. He pulled up a chair and sat down, spreading his legs and uttering soul torture:

"Wu Qing, why did you leave your child alone on the beach that day?"

"My wife was pregnant at the time and couldn't stand the sun, so she was enjoying the shade under a tree on the roadside. I thought I had forgotten my cell phone, so I went to get it from her."

"Does it take that long to get a cell phone?"

Shen Nanyi checked the news of the incident.

Wu Qing claimed that he only spent five minutes holding the phone, but a video accidentally shot by a tourist on the beach showed that Xiaolan wandered and played alone on the beach for nearly 12 minutes without a parent.

In fact, the time she spent alone on the beach even exceeded these 12 minutes.

This video was posted on the Internet, causing netizens to question it.

But Wu Qing remained silent and did not respond. He even quickly deleted the missing person information.

Wu Qing hesitated and couldn't explain why.

"I just answered the phone and had a brief chat."

Mu Qizhou stared at him straightly, his eyes filled with coldness: "It's a debt collection call, right?"

Wu Qing stepped back in horror and held on to the wall: "You, you, you are talking nonsense."

Mu Qizhou's sharp eyes left him nowhere to hide: "I checked your call records. On that day, your call lasted 31 minutes and 57 seconds. It was not the five minutes you said."

"The call came from a virtual number. After checking, it was a collection call from XX Financial. You owe a lot of debt."

Fang Qing looked at him with tears in her eyes, with mixed emotions in her eyes.

Shen Nanyi saw through her at a glance and suddenly realized, "So, you know about it."

Fang Qing shook her head in pain: "No, I didn't know it at the time. I only found out after the debt collectors came to visit."

Wu Qing hammered the wall: "I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to leave the child there. I didn't expect it would be a waste..."

"You didn't expect that? Your child is only five years old." Shen Nanyi bit her lip with great anger.

"That day, she kept arguing and insisted on buying some rabbit. In fact, I didn't have much money anymore. But I couldn't resist her, so I could only buy one for her. At that time, I thought, why is this child so annoying? In addition, My wife was pregnant again at the time, so I was under a lot of pressure..."

Mu Qizhou was not led astray by his words. He firmly grasped the key point: "So, you just want to throw her away and let her fend for herself on the beach, right?"

"No, no, no, this thought just passed through my mind. I never really thought about not wanting her!"

Mu Qizhou raised his lips and stood up.

His tall figure was like a jade tree, and Wu Qing looked extremely small in front of him.

He walked to the table nearby, picked up a piece of paper, and threw it in front of Wu Qing and his wife:

"You thought about it and did it. Because you already know that your wife is carrying a son in her belly."

Ana Shen was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

She picked up the paper on the ground. It was a report on the gender identification of the 12M+ fetus.

Wu Qing and Fang Qing both shut their mouths at this moment, and even stopped crying.

Mu Qizhou's attitude was cold and his words were sharp without leaving any trace of emotion:

"You like gambling, you owe a lot of debt, and you can't pay it off. As a result, your wife is pregnant again.

Your family favors sons over daughters, and you have always wanted a grandchild.

So you couldn't wait to do a gender test secretly just after three months.

You were happy and worried when you found out it was your son.

Your wife has no job, and you are just an ordinary employee at the water plant, earning a drop in the bucket.

He is in debt and has two children to bear.

So, at that moment, you had that thought.

Am i right? Wu Qing. "

Wu Qing was silent.

Good and evil cause and effect are all in one thought.

He leaned against the wall weakly and fell silently to the ground, his head lowered and silent.

Fang Qing touched her stomach and kept sobbing and shaking her head.

Shen Nanyi pulled Xiaolan who was crying silently.

Although the child is young, he understands everything.

"She was born in ten months of your pregnancy! Why are you so cruel?"

Shen Nanyi looked at Fang Qing with tears in her eyes.

Fang Qing covered her face in shame and cried.

Mu Qizhou looked at the couple coldly, with a stern expression on his face.

He put his arm around Shen Nanyi's shoulders, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and seemed to say to Xiao Lan:

"Let's go. This kind of parents are not worth it."
