Mi Xaing 'er asked softly, "Mom, are you hungry or thirsty? Are you feeling unwell?"
A layer of mist floated into the Tang Xiling's eyes. She sniffled and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. Then, she quickly turned her gaze away and returned to her usual confused self.
The boy was very quick-witted. He immediately ran to the Tang Xiling's side and leaned on her legs. He rubbed her back. "Mom, you're sad again. Don't be afraid. I'll protect you!"
Then, he turned to Mi Xaing 'er. "Sis, do you have sugar water at home? Mom has low blood sugar!"
This child!
Sis!
Mom!
He called her so affectionately.
Mi Xaing 'er poured a glass of warm water and added a spoonful of sugar. She watched her mother drink the water and lowered her head to ask the boy, "What's your name? Why are you calling me Sis?"
The boy was exceptionally smart. There was a calmness in his eyes that did not match his age. When he spoke, he was very eloquent. "My name is Fu Bowen. My nickname is Little Six 'er. Don't judge me by my small and skinny appearance. I'm ten years old this year. I met my godmother in the shelter. It's been two years since then …"
Ah!
Godmother!
Shelter!
Mi Xaing 'er turned her gaze to Shen Shiqiu. "Captain Shen, what's going on?"
That's right!
She urgently needed an answer now.
Tang Xiling seemed a little "abnormal". After all, this child was still young. He probably would not be able to explain it. She could only ask Shen Shiqiu.
Captain Shen coughed softly. "Well, your mother has been missing for a few years. The police have been looking for her. Unfortunately, the world is chaotic now. It's not easy to find someone. Fortunately, Second Sister Yun has a friend in Guangdong. That's why this matter is much easier."
Mi Xaing 'er understood that Yun Jingting was the one behind all this. She quickly shot him a glance, but because there were too many people around, she did not express her gratitude.
Shen Shiqiu smiled slightly. "Your mother has been in the shelter in Guangdong for the past two years. As for why …"
He looked at the Tang Xiling. He probably did not want to say too much in front of the person involved. "Anyway, before Comrade Tang returned home, our Public Security Department had already arranged for her to do a comprehensive physical examination. Other than some low blood sugar and malnutrition, everything else is normal. It's just that her mind is a little confused. Her symptoms are depression, she doesn't like to talk, and she acts irritable when she is agitated. In short, it's what people call intermittent psychosis...."
Psychosis?
Mi Xiang 'er's eyes widened in disbelief.
In her memory, her mother was a very wise woman. Not only was she beautiful, gentle and kind, but she was also knowledgeable and farsighted.
How did she suddenly become like this after she disappeared for a few years?
Yun Jingting calmly took over the conversation. "Captain Shen, do you mean that Mi Xaing 'er's mother can stay at home in the future? Her problems have basically been investigated and solved."
"Yes, they have basically been solved. It's all thanks to your second sister's mediation. As for this child, he has no relatives, and his identity is still under investigation. Before he came back this time, he insisted on holding onto Comrade Tang Xiling and refused to let go. No one could persuade him otherwise. The police over there thought about it and decided that since this is the case, they might as well let the child come over first."
Shen Shiqiu pondered for a moment. "Head Of Yun, I already talked to you over the phone this afternoon."
Yun Jingting replied softly, "Yes, I originally expected you to arrive tomorrow morning. I didn't expect you to arrive so soon. Fortunately, I came over early. I have a few questions to discuss with you in person. It's not convenient to talk about it over the phone."
Ah …
Mi Xaing 'er finally understood. It turned out that Yun Jingting was afraid that she would not be able to handle the situation of her mother's sudden return tonight, so he specially rushed over to "hold the fort". However, he did not leak a single word in advance.
This man was really meticulous.
He was also very calm.
"Alright, let's talk outside." Shen Shiqiu lowered his head. "Regarding Comrade Tang Xiling's situation, I won't go into detail here. Head Of Yun, when you have time, please explain to Comrade Xiao Mi. I still have something to do, and it's getting late, so I won't stay any longer."
He walked slowly to the door, as if he suddenly remembered something. He patted his forehead and chuckled. "By the way, I haven't had the time to congratulate the two of you on your marriage!"
Yun Jingting raised her eyebrows. "Hey, you're really worthy of being the captain of the Criminal Police Force. Mi Xaing 'er and I haven't announced our marriage to the public yet!"
Shen Shiqiu laughed. "Even if you don't announce it, you still can't hide it from me, Head Of Yun. Xiao Mi, I wish the two of you … well, it's not too early to say this, right? Head Of Yun is almost 30 years old!"
Mi Xaing 'er blushed. She lowered her head and did not say anything.
Tang Xiling's ears perked up. Her gaze wandered as she looked at everyone in the room. She did not know how much she had heard or understood.
Yun Jingting saw her tired expression and said considerately, "Captain Shen, I'll send you out then. Mi Xaing 'er, hurry up and settle your mother down!"
Mi Xaing 'er nodded. She helped Tang Xiling into the main room, tidied up the room, and made the bed.
From the corner of her eye, she saw Yun Laohu and Shen Shiqiu standing under a tree. The two of them looked solemn as they whispered to each other.
She was in a daze for a moment.
She only felt someone patting her shoulder from behind.
She turned to look.
