i love you after all

Chapter 18 "Crime and Punishment"

"Sister, it seems to be snowing outside."

Luo Shen looked out of the glass window and pushed the big sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.They had already had dinner at the Music Fountain Square. After the meal, Danjin proposed to take a walk on the street, and Luo Shen accompanied her at the risk of being exposed by the follower.As they walked, they came to a fire-fighting equipment store. Dan Jin stopped at the door for a while and walked in.

She was looking at the various fire extinguishers on the shelf. After hearing Luo Shen's words, she replied nonchalantly, "Didn't you drive a car? Just take a taxi and go back to the parking lot of the square."

"Yes..." Luo Shen followed Dan Jin to look at the fire extinguishers boredly, "Is there no fire extinguisher in your villa? Why do you want to buy it specially?"

"There are fire extinguishers, but they are used up." Danjin seemed to be optimistic. She walked to the counter and said to the boss, "Please, ten small 1kg cans of dry powder fire extinguishers. I will leave you an address and deliver them before tomorrow afternoon." It's good to go."

Luo sighed deeply: "Ten? What do you want to do for a fire drill?"

Dan Jin wrote down the address and handed it to the boss, paid with her mobile phone without looking up, "No."

"The eight achievements are for the fire orphan you just adopted. Speaking of which, the top searches these days are either 'Ran xx Danjin', or 'Danjin Sanweizhen', what else is 'Danjin Adoption''Adoption Law''Adoption Status', the news about your adoption will overshadow the one about Sanweizhen herself..."

"I just want to buy it myself." Dan Jin interrupted him.

"Okay, buy it if you want it, don't tell me you have something you want?" Luo Shen smiled, he saw that Danjin didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, so he stopped talking, "...by the way, next Do you have any plans for three months?"

Danjin flicked the phone screen for a moment.

She pretended to answer casually: "Not for now, I didn't hear from the company."

"You know, I recently took over director Li Jiaxiao's Yitian. In the past two days, Zhao Min's actor has been settled, and it's Han Yuting who was brought in by the investor, that little flower who just became popular recently." When Luo Shen mentioned Han Yuting With disdain on his face, he frankly expressed his dislike for that person, "I don't want to work in front of that person for three months, with a vitriolic look, it's very annoying. I thought to myself, if my senior sister is also in this crew That's good, although Zhao Min is gone, but Zhou Zhiruo's role is still there, so I will tell Director Jiaxiao on my own initiative to let senior sister play Zhou Zhiruo. Senior sister won't blame me, will she?"

Zhou Zhiruo.

Dan Jin's voice remained calm: "What did Director Li say?"

"He was a little hesitant at first, so I told him that if you were not allowed to play Zhou Zhiruo, I would not act at all, and he agreed." Luo Shen laughed foolishly, "He said he wanted to have dinner with you, You discuss cooperation in person. You see, if you have no problem, I will help you determine a meeting time."

Danjin suppressed Yu'er's excitement of taking the bait, and made a last tactful gesture: "But I'm not sure if the company has other arrangements for me, just in case..."

"Your manager is Yu Weizhong, right? I know him. Don't worry, even if there are other arrangements, he will push you. You can't stop coming with such a good IP as Yitian."

"Then, thank you." Dan Jin smiled at him.

"If you're not angry, I'll cut it first and then play it. I don't want to thank you." Luo Shen hugged Danjin's shoulder.

Dan Jin's body froze, she resisted the urge to take Luo Shen's hand off her shoulder, and smiled at Luo Shen, who seemed extremely happy.

The screen of the phone suddenly turned on, and before it could ring, Dan Jin quickly pressed the answer button, and walked away from Luo Shen's arms without a trace.

There came Jiang Yanran's rare hurried voice: "Xiao Jin, Chu Qiu is gone."

Dan Jin froze for a moment, and all her thoughts froze instantly, "Wh...what do you mean disappearing?"

"It just disappeared suddenly. In the afternoon, Aunt Mei went to deliver food to her. She was not in the room. We all thought she was in another part of the villa. I went to find her later, but she was still not in the room, so I went up and down. I searched all over, only to find that she is no longer in the villa!"

Dan Jin immediately pushed open the shop door and walked out, Luo Shen hurriedly followed, but she had no time to pay attention to Luo Shen, "Did she go out by herself?"

"I don't know. I wanted to call the police, but I was afraid of being stabbed by the media. I have checked all the windows. There are no signs of intrusion, and there is no sign of struggle in the room. Most of them may have walked out by herself." .”

"Where are you now?"

"I'm already in the car, where are you, I'll go find you."

"It's in the middle of Renmin Road, how long did it take to get there?"

"Two and 10 minutes. Do you need me to report to the company?"

"Not for now."

"Okay, you send me the precise location."

Dan Jin hung up the phone and immediately opened WeChat to send Jiang Yanran a location. Luo Shen looked at her slightly trembling fingers and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Chuqiu..." Danjin gritted her teeth, "The child I adopted is gone."

"It's gone? How could it be gone? She's the one who's on the headlines every day now, and her daily click-through rate of photos has already surpassed mine!" Luo Shen also became anxious, "Where did she go? What if she gets caught? If someone with a heart recognizes it, then..."

"Don't talk yet." Dan Jin took two deep breaths, turned on the phone again, and his mind was spinning rapidly.She first called up the map around the villa, checked the surrounding traffic conditions, and asked Luo Shen while looking at it: "Can you help me find the video at the gate of our villa?"

"wait."

Luo Shen immediately called a friend and provided the name of the villa area. The friend then contacted the police in charge of the southern suburbs, and the police dispatched the nearest police officer to the villa area. Within 10 minutes, they called The relevant surveillance video was sent to Luo Shen's mobile phone.

"She left the gate at four o'clock in the afternoon, and slipped out after another family." Luo Shen showed Dan Jin the screenshot of the video.

Danjin closed her eyes, took another deep breath, and tried her best to calm herself down.There is only one bus stop around the gate at four o'clock, and only one bus passes here. This bus stops at 29 stops, from the south gate to the end of the Drum Tower, passing through Caochangpo, Provincial Gymnasium, Weier Street, University of Political Science and Law , National Exhibition Center, TV Tower, Fenghuang Road...

...Fenghuang Road?

Jiang Yanran has already arrived, Dan Jin and Luo Shen got into the car.Jiang Yanran glanced at her phone, "It's already 07:30, where should we start looking?"

"Go to the fire scene first." Dan Jin swallowed, she grabbed the back of the driver's seat and stared intently at the map navigation on the phone.

Jiang Yanran immediately turned the car around, Luo Shen was puzzled, "How do you know where she went?"

"I'm not sure, it's just...she didn't even want to go out of her bedroom yesterday, but now she dares to go out alone, there must be a place she really wants to go. If she wasn't abducted halfway..." Dan Jin's voice was already With an abnormal tone, "If... If she hadn't been abducted, she could only get on that bus. The bus happened to pass by Fenghuang Road where Sanweizhen was located. She must get off around there. Whether it was Sanweizhen who had an accident, Or her original home, or the city hospital where she lived, are very close to there. When we go there, we can use this as the center to look for it in a radial manner.”

Jiang Yanran had never heard Dan Jin say such a long paragraph at once, she sighed: "Xiao Jin, don't worry. It's all my fault, I wish I found out sooner."

Dan Jin hummed, closed his eyes, and exhaled slowly.

What is she in a hurry for?

Her mind was like a mess of twine, and she couldn't tell what she was anxious about, was she anxious about losing Chu Qiu and her reputation would be seriously damaged, or was she anxious that something might happen to the child?

Maybe one day she will figure it out, but she has no time to think about it right now.She has only one thought on her mind right now.

Ran Chuqiu must be found immediately.

Jiang Yanran drove very fast, and even ran through a few yellow lights, regardless of whether she would be caught by the cameras at the intersection.The time they took was shorter than expected. When Luo Shen made the third phone call to his friend, he arrived at the Fenghuang Road intersection. After passing the stop sign of Fenghuang Road, he saw that the scene engulfed by the fire was still surrounded by horizontal stripes by the police, and the There are several patrolmen guarding it.Dan Jin and Luo Shen got out of the car and asked about it. The police said that no children had been here.

After leaving Sanweizhen, they went to Ran's house three streets away.After the death of Ran's parents, Shen Guohao became Ran Chuqiu's legal guardian, and this house and related property were also in the hands of Yunzhou, who helped the underage Chuqiu to take care of it.Naturally, the key to Ran's house will not be with Danjin, but it's okay if he can't enter the house, after all, Ran Chuqiu doesn't have a key either.

Luo Shen went to the concierge of the community to get the surveillance, and several people watched it carefully, but they didn't find that Ran Chuqiu had appeared.

Compared with Ran Chuqiu's whereabouts, Jiang Yanran was more worried about Dan Jin's condition at this time, she stroked Dan Jin's shoulder: "Xiao Jin, don't worry, there is still a hospital to go to."

Dan Jin blinked a few times, her eyes were already bloodshot, she pressed her temple wearily, "What time is it?"

Jiang Yanran glanced at her phone, and replied, "Eight twenty."

"If the hospital can't find her, then we..." Dan Jin opened his eyes and looked out the window, "Call the police."

"You know what it means to call the police, right?" Jiang Yanran gritted her teeth, "We all know that the public's attention to this matter is only because they care about Ran Chuqiu, not you, Dan Jin. Tell the world: You have lost Ran Chuqiu. The character set that has been created with great difficulty in so many days will not only be destroyed once, but will even become more smeared..."

"So?" Dan Jin smiled suddenly, the smile stayed very short, and the tone was still difficult to maintain a steady and gentle tone, "If she really has an accident, the only way to save her is to call the police."

Jiang Yanran was silent for a long time, "...you really care about her. Why, Xiaojin? I... don't quite understand, you and her have only known each other for such a short time."

"I don't care about her. I care about..."

Dan Jin swallowed the second half of the sentence, she sighed, buried her face in her palm, and said sullenly, "I'm sorry, I'm a little out of control."

Luo Shen suddenly leaned on the window glass, his nose was pressed against the glass, "Stop, stop, stop!!"

Originally, she was about to arrive at the hospital, and Jiang Yanran was just slowing down. When Luo Shen called out, she looked there from the corner of her eye, and parked the car on the side of the road.

Before the car stopped, Dan Jin opened the door and stepped out.

Jiang Yanran hastily turned off the engine and pulled out the key, while looking towards the road.I saw a small figure squatting in a corner under the bus stop sign, a thin layer of snow had already accumulated on her head and shoulders, she buried her head between her knees, and seemed to have lost consciousness from the cold.

Dan Jin walked towards the opposite side of the road with big strides, at first he just walked quickly, and then he started to run.

The road is wide.

The traffic lights at the intersection are constantly flashing yellow.

A second later, the yellow light went off.

Jiang Yanran looked at the large truck driving over at high speed 20 meters away, her pupils dilated instantly, she didn't care about the car keys, she struggled to get out of the car, "Xiaojin!!"

Luo Shen also hurriedly climbed out of the car: "Sister——"

Dan Jin ran forward without looking back, her long black curly hair was flying in the air, like seaweed swaying in a pool of water.

The mobile phone in the coat pocket slipped out lightly due to the violent bumps.In a dazed moment, the rearview mirror of the large truck brushed against the long hair on the back of her shoulder, and the wheels rolled over violently, with a terrifying sound of wind and the roar of the engine.

boom--

"Xiao Jin—"

Jiang Yanran's facial features were frightened and distorted, she stretched out her hand forward, and her heart stopped suddenly.

The truck galloped away with its domineering speed, bringing up a large amount of dust on the side of the road.Jiang Yanran and Luo Shen's eyes were fascinated by the dust. They rubbed their eyes and waved their arms to disperse the dust, and then looked over in horror——

On the spacious road, there was only one mobile phone that was crushed to pieces.

The girl with long black curly hair had already run to the stop sign.She just stared closely at the child under the stop sign, as if it wasn't her who dropped her phone just now, as if she wasn't the one who was almost crushed to pieces, as if there were only the two of them left in the world.

Jiang Yanran swallowed tremblingly, and could clearly hear her heart beating wildly.Luo Shen's face turned pale with fright, his legs gave way, and he knelt down on the side of the road, staring blankly at Dan Jin's back.

No one could believe that in just the blink of an eye, they witnessed the instant intersection of life and death.

And Dan Jin just stood in front of Ran Chuqiu, panting slightly, she clenched her fists, feeling that a hanging heart was finally put back in her stomach.After a long time, she squatted down lightly and touched Chu Qiu's head.

Chu Qiu's body trembled, trembling and slowly raised her face, her eyes were swollen from crying, and her face was full of frozen tears.

Seeing Danjin, tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked up tremblingly: "I'm sorry... I missed the last train, I'm sorry..."

Dan Jin leaned forward and knelt on the ground on one knee.

When she knelt down, she took Chu Qiu into her arms.Her skin is very cool, sticking to Chu Qiu's side face, but it is better than the warmest touch in the world.

"It's okay," she tried her best to control the trembling in her voice, "It's just that you're okay."

Chu Qiu cried even harder, crying loudly, crying heartbreakingly.

Holding back her hoarse crying voice, she stammered and asked, "Why...why don't you scold me and still hug me?"

Dan Jin stared at the ground behind Chu Qiu, and closed her eyes for a while.
