Chapter 697 Aunt Yu

"Lao Jin."

As soon as the woman opened her mouth, her voice was choked with sobs.

The red eyes showed signs of moisture again.

……

"Mother of the child."

Uncle Jin put his arm around the woman's shoulders and pulled her closer to his arms. "It's okay, my daughter will be fine."

"We will find our daughter."

……

Xiao Xiao stood quietly behind Uncle Jin, without making a sound to disturb the two of them.

……

The woman blinked her eyes hard to clear away the mist in front of her eyes.

She couldn't be so useless.

Her daughter was still waiting for her.

It’s her fault. Why did she sleep so soundly?

I didn’t even know my daughter was missing!

The strong sense of self-blame mixed with worry about her daughter made the woman look paler and more tired.

……

"Don't think too much, it's not your fault."

As a married couple for many years, Uncle Jin could immediately guess what his wife was thinking.

He tapped his wife's back and deliberately lowered his voice to comfort his exhausted wife, "Our daughter is still waiting for us to pick her up."

"If you fall down, I will have to take care of you, and then there will be no one to take care of our daughter, right?"

……

"I am fine."

The woman pushed Uncle Jin's arms away, looked up and saw Xiao Xiao not far ahead, and couldn't help but look surprised, "Who are you?"

……

"Hello, aunt."

Xiao Xiao nodded politely.

……

"This is a passenger I once picked up. His last name is Xiao."

"Student Xiao, this is my wife. Her last name is Yu. You can just call her Aunt Yu."

Uncle Jin briefly introduced the two to each other, and after a pause, he said to his wife with some pride: "Student Xiao is a top student at Yan University."

……

"Oh, Yan University."

There was a subconscious sigh in his tone.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao."

The woman smiled stiffly and adjusted her clothes with her hands in a panic.

However, when she looked at Uncle Jin, her eyes were full of confusion and even doubt. She didn't understand why her husband brought this student here at this time?

……

"Student Xiao wants to visit the ward where his daughter is staying."

Uncle Jin's expression suddenly became a little hesitant. "He said that maybe he could help us find our daughter."

When he was in the coffee shop before, he was in the most depressed mood.

After a day of fruitless work and feeling physically and mentally exhausted, he received Xiao Xiao's invitation and suddenly developed a strong desire to talk.

After a thorough "venting", his mind was in an excited state.

Maybe it was also because of those two cups of coffee?

At that moment, after hearing Xiao Xiao's words, his first reaction was not doubt, but joy.

A feeling that something is finally changing.

More than a dozen hours of repetitive questioning and aimless searching made him desperately need something to change the status quo.

Everything is fine, just a little bit.

Break the current stagnant situation with no progress.

……

Uncle Jin was still excited as he drove back to the hospital.

But after seeing his wife, his mood suddenly sank due to her fragility and self-blame.

His wife's questioning and somewhat blaming look made him subconsciously explain the reason why he brought the young man here.

Although now he couldn't help but wonder if he had been stupid in the previous half hour?
Do you actually have expectations for a student's whimsical words?

……

Uncle Jin's words startled the girl. There was a flash of surprise in her eyes, but it dimmed in an instant as if she had thought of something. There was even a hint of anger in the girl's eyes. "Xiao, my daughter is missing. I'm very worried and scared."

"Please don't make such nasty jokes!"

The little hope that rose in the woman's heart was quickly extinguished when she realized that the police investigation had made no progress.

She stayed with the police until she learned that her husband had returned to the hospital and rushed over to reunite with him.

She saw with her own eyes how the police conducted their investigation and search.

To be honest, she was just an outsider, but she could see that the police had done everything they could and tried their best to be comprehensive and leave nothing out.

There was no trace of his daughter's whereabouts. What could the young man in front of him do, even if he was a student of Yanda University?

The only thing the woman could think of was that the young man had become interested in child abduction cases and wanted to actually see where the child had disappeared.

……

However, holding such thoughts is too rude and even excessive for my daughter.

Her daughter's disappearance was not just a topic of conversation among others!
She would not allow others to laugh at her daughter's disappearance in such a nonchalant manner!
……

The woman looked at Xiao Xiao with a hint of disgust in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Please go back."

……

"The child's mother?"

Uncle Jin was a little puzzled by the woman's sudden change of attitude. He looked at his wife anxiously, then at Xiao Xiao.

There was a mixture of questioning and apology in his eyes.

……

Xiao Xiao turned his head and lowered his eyes to give a soothing look to the somewhat angry Feifei.

A faint smile flashed across his face.

……

Whenever someone showed an unfriendly attitude towards Xiao Xiao, Feifei would always stand up and glare at the other person angrily.

The little monster's protection made Xiao Xiao feel warm.

……

"Aunt Yu."

Xiao Xiao didn't care about the hostility the woman showed towards him. He knew how panic-stricken a mother would be when her daughter went missing.

I am afraid that I will get the news that my child has met with misfortune.

He said gently, "I'm not kidding."

The calm, light yet firm tone inexplicably made the woman want to believe what the young man in front of her said.

"Let me go into your daughter's ward and take a look."

"Maybe I can help you find your daughter."

……

"I was serious."

"I have no ill intentions and I don't mean to be joking."

Xiao Xiao spoke slowly.

……

"Mother, look, everyone is here..."

Uncle Jin said, "Let Xiao go into the ward and take a look."

Besides, he had already agreed to Xiao's request.

……

"Didn't you say the police gave up the blockade after finding nothing in the ward?"

"Maybe Xiao can find something?"

The more Uncle Jin talked, the more hopeful he felt.

Including this time, he and classmate Xiao had only met three times.

But he had a very good impression of Xiao.

A top student from China's top university who will patiently listen to a taxi driver's chatter.

Such a Xiao Xiao made Uncle Jin not believe that he was a person who acted without purpose.

Because of his job, he has met many different kinds of passengers.

When it comes to judging people, he is still confident about the basic direction.

He believed in his vision.

Maybe Xiao will really bring them an unexpected surprise.

……

The woman was silent for a while, then made way for the ward door.

The meaning is self-evident.
