to the square these past two days"Yan Jia was stunned for a moment, her face flashed with a trace of embarrassment, and she lowered her head with some grievance and said:"I've been doing what you said..."You want to make a move here Don't you think you'll get caught"
Joe the Second scolded in a low voice.
"Second brother, knock them unconscious and send them to our Qiaojiagou. Who will ever find them"
"Shut up, there are cameras here. Are you really that clueless or are you just pretending"
Joe the Second's face was truly dark. He didn't want to get involved, after all, they always made thorough preparations before each operation, otherwise, who knows how many times they would have been caught. Naturally, he wouldn't break their rules just because of a minor Sixth.
The ripples brought back important information – the Qiaojiagou. Apparently, this is where the original owner was trapped.
The two were still arguing when the door to the ward was pushed open and someone walked in. Ripple didn't need to open her eyes to know that it was a man and a woman.
"Honey, slow down."
"I'm not made of porcelain, you don't have to be so careful."
Although her voice was impatient, it was very sweet. It was clear that she felt cherished and important because her husband valued her.
"Are you new here"
The man must have seen Joe's second in command, and immediately smiled and asked.
Qiao Lao Er immediately changed his expression, giving a guileless smile and saying:
My daughter-in-law isn't feeling well, the doctor wants her to keep the pregnancy and stay overnight for observation. I don't understand anything, so I'll just listen to the doctor.
"Then you'll have to be more careful. If the child doesn't develop well in the past few months, it will affect the child's intelligence."
A man said in a tone of someone who's been there before.
Ripples opened her eyes at this opportune moment, looking at the happy couple. She said to Lao Er Qiao:
"Second brother, could you help me go to the restroom"
"Oh! Oh!"
Joe the Second immediately replied, then gave Little Six, who was pulling a long face beside him, a wink and said:
"Help me support your sister-in-law together."
Oh, here you are!
Little Six reluctantly walked to the bed and, together, they helped Ripples down from the bed, one on each side. They were extremely careful, all pretense of concern hiding their true intention: to prevent Ripples from running around or speaking out of turn.
The ripples didn't resist, stood up following the two people's strength, and then slowly moved to the bathroom.
As soon as the bathroom door creaked open, Joe Second leaned in and whispered to Ripple,
"You'd better be honest. You don't have an ID, and you're pregnant. No one will believe you. If you dare to lie, I'll kill you!"
Liàn yī trembled, then nervously nodded before entering the restroom.
Because the restroom was located within the ward, it was separated individually, but the area was quite small. One person could fit inside, but two people would have no room to turn around, especially with her protruding belly. In the end, Qiao Lao Er could only choose to stay outside the door. If he insisted on going in, it would easily arouse suspicion from others.
Ripples really needed to use the restroom. Thankfully, this was a toilet stall, so she sat down and began looking around, thinking about how to get her message out.
Finally, she fixed her gaze on the rolled paper beside her. There were only a few thin layers of paper left. After some thought, she took out the core of the roll and gently tore off a layer of the hard shell paper. Then, she put the core back in its original position.
The scrap of paper, about the size of her palm, was stuffed into her bra before she pressed the flush button and opened the bathroom door. The smell wasn't pleasant, Qiao Lao Er wrinkled his nose, apparently put off by it.
Ripples glanced at the other person, who wanted to smell her fragrance. She wouldn't stop him, so she went straight back to the hospital bed. Qiao La Er waited for a while, until the smell dissipated, then he also went into the bathroom. Before going in, he winked at Xiao Liu.
After she lay down, Lian'er smiled at Xiao Liu and said:
"Xiaoliu, would you please pour me a glass of water"
"Okay, sister-in-law."
Little Six also knew the importance of the situation. He immediately sat down by the bed and used the hot water bottle at the head of the bed to pour a cup of hot water, which he handed to Lian Yi.
Thank you.
"Your sister-in-law is too polite."
The woman in the bed next to her had a large belly, she looked about eight or nine months pregnant. Seeing Ripples looking somewhat haggard and with a small bump, but with two people taking care of her, she smiled and started a conversation:
"Hey girl, you're so lucky, with two people taking care of you. Is this your brother"
This is not my younger brother, but my second older brother's cousin.
R ripples took a sip of hot water and, under Xiaoliu's intense gaze, smiled faintly.
No wonder, you two don't look alike. You seem to have a better air about you.
The woman exclaimed in genuine admiration.
Can temperament be bad Now, her core is the ancestor of ripples. The things that come from the soul are emitted outward, you can't fake it.
"Thank you, elder sister, for the compliment. I'm not a local."
As soon as Lian Yi finished speaking, Qiao Lao Er came out of the restroom, glared at Lian Yi, and then sat down in front of the bed, blocking the woman on the next bed's line of sight. He said:
"Daughter-in-law, if you're tired, lie down for a while."
"Okay, I want to eat some fruit. Can you ask Xiao Liu to buy me some fruit"
The ripple obediently complied, lying down and immediately saying.
"Okay, I'll have Little Six go buy it. I'll stay here with you."
Only then did Ripples close her eyes contentedly. She was truly asleep, not feigning it. A tough battle awaited her, so she needed to conserve her energy.
Joe Erh looked at Lian Yi closing her eyes, and then he took out one hundred yuan from his jacket pocket and gave it to Xiao Liu:
"Go buy some apples for your sister-in-law."
When ripples opened his eyes again, the outside was pitch black. Old Joe stood at the head of the bed napping, Little Six wasn't there, only a bag of red apples on the bedside table.
The ripple moved slightly, which startled Qiao Lao Er awake. He looked at the ripple and said:
"Are you awake How are you feeling"
"My stomach still feels a little lower than usual, but it's much better than yesterday."
After finishing, Lian'er also patted her belly with a loving expression, making the other party feel that she cherished this child very much.
"Second brother, I'm hungry."
"Have an apple first, Xiao Liu has already gone to cook."
Joe took an apple from the bedside table and washed it. Since there wasn't a single person in the ward at this moment, he felt very safe.
Ripples grasped the time, pulled out the torn piece of paper from her clothes, and then took out the pen she had received from Qiao Shuang earlier. She quickly wrote down the original person's name and ID number, and then wrote the SOS distress signal.
Then she flipped it over, writing on the back to report to the city Public Security Bureau. She fell into a village controlled by a human trafficker group, Qiaojiagou. The Qiaoqiang at the hospital was their accomplice. Play the long game, catch the big fish. She can hold on.
After finishing these, her erect ears caught the sound of hurried footsteps. She immediately shoved the pen under the mattress and tucked the paper back in her chest. When Joe Lao Er came in, she was pretending to massage her chest.
"What's wrong"
"My chest feels a bit tight."
Liàn Yī wrinkled her brow, her face somewhat pale, a thin sheen of sweat on her temples.
"You eat the apple first, I'll call the doctor over."
The ripple reached for the apple, took a bite, and it was quite sweet. As for Old Joe's second son, he didn't leave the ward, he just stood at the door and yelled, saying that his wife had chest pain.
It was just about the time when the hospital staff finished their shifts. Only one nurse came over, measured Ripples' blood pressure, asked a few questions, and then left.
But the couple next door who went out for dinner just came back.
"Girl, why didn't you go out to eat"
"I dare not run around, for fear that something might happen to the children."d, and the instructors monitoring the test raised their eyebrows. The power of each punch increased with every strike, culminating in a final blow that nearly reached the level of a Grandmaster. This...
