Chu Boyang gritted his teeth. “Are you angry with me?”

The police officer laughed and patted his shoulder. “Young man, you’re thinking too much. You don’t have that much influence. Besides, how could I take a child seriously? I just feel that your suggestion is right. That girl is also a child. I was indeed too hasty…”

Chu Boyang clasped his hands tightly. The police officer looked at him in surprise.

Why did this child have to tire herself out at such a young age?

“That child, are all the children ostracizing her?”

Chu Boyang’s expression was cold and he did not speak.

“I can tell that she’s quite scheming. Not to mention that she’s a girl, even I don’t have the courage to save her at this age.”

Chu Boyang pursed his lips tightly, but his mind was in a mess.

He only knew that Ji Fengmian hated Ji Qing.

Hence, he thought that he was smart enough to make the assumption based on this.

This was the only reason why he almost sentenced Ji Feng to death.

It had been like this recently.

However, he was always wrong.

At this moment, the door to the ward opened and the director stood at the door. “Ji Qing said that she can speak now.”

The police officer glanced at Chu Boyang. Seeing that he didn’t intend to speak anymore, he raised his eyebrows and stood up. “Don’t force yourself.”

The dean’s lips twitched. At this moment, she really couldn’t smile.

Chu Boyang hesitated for a while before following her into the ward.

Ji Qing curled up in the corner of the bed and hugged her knees. She glanced at him timidly and worriedly.

“Young lady, can you do it?” the officer asked.

Ji Qing bit her lips and nodded. She glanced at Chu Boyang and said slowly,

“…I saw that Sister Mian and Brother Boyang were arguing again, so I went to look for Sister Mian to reconcile them. However, Sister Mian was very determined, so I followed her… Then, that person appeared out of nowhere and suddenly picked me up. He even… covered my mouth to prevent me from speaking…”

At this point, Ji Qing’s voice started to tremble.

“Later on, Sister Mian also realized that I wanted her to save me… In the end, she… suddenly said that I… deserved it…”

The police officer paused and lowered his gaze to look at the child who had curled up into a ball. He raised his eyebrows and retracted his gaze to continue recording the rest of his words.

“What else?”

Perhaps it was because she was too aggrieved back then, or perhaps it was because of the fear that swept over her again. Tears started to well up in her eyes again.

“She said that she hates me. It’s best if I die… She even… let that person torture me properly… to avenge her…”

The police officer lowered his head and recorded everything. Chu Boyang suddenly asked coldly,

“Did Ji Fengmian really say those words?”

Ji Qing nodded. “Really… I… Why would I lie…”

Chu Boyang stared at Ji Qing quietly with a cold expression.

After a long while, he frowned and said, “She saved you.”

Ji Qing shook her head as tears streamed down her face. “I don’t know what happened either… but Sister Mian really said these words…”

After the officer finished recording, he didn’t even look up. “And?”

“… Then, that person brought me to the mountain and beat me for a long time. I was afraid and kept hiding… Then, I hid in a tree…”

The officer asked:

“Did the criminal tell you anything?”

Ji Qing shook her head and stammered, “He only hit me…”

Seeing that there was nothing else to ask, the police officer closed the notebook and shook his head.

“Alright, you can rest.”

Ji Qing glanced at him timidly.

The police officer put away his notebook and turned around. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at the three silent people in the ward.

“Don’t tell me you think that what that child said is true?”

Chu Boyang looked at him. “So you’re saying that Ji Qing is lying.”

Ji Qing hurriedly shook her head and explained, “I… I didn’t…”

The officer said, “She’s telling the truth.”

Chu Boyang suddenly growled, “You’re the ones who said that Ji Fengmian saved her!”

“Yes.” The police officer pulled open the door with his back facing them. “Although I did get beaten up, it’s better than losing my life.”

The door slammed.

Chu Boyang froze on the spot.

The officer didn’t say much, but it was enough for him to understand.

What Ji Fengmian said was true, but it was also because of this that he really wanted to save Ji Qing.

If she didn’t say that, the criminal might not let her off. Then she wouldn’t have the chance to run back or even call the police.

And her so-called getting the criminal to teach Ji Qing a lesson on her behalf only increased the probability of Ji Qing’s life being spared to stall for time for rescue.

Compared to dying, Ji Qing’s injuries were nothing.

It turned out that she hadn’t…

He relaxed suddenly.

He blamed himself, felt guilty, and felt remorseful. However, this was his fault. He had always been the one at fault. He had misunderstood her.

Ji Fengmian had always been good.

He walked to the entrance and took a deep breath as he saw the heavy rain.

Ji Fengmian would definitely be fine.

What did he mean by falling off the cliff?

This was simply a fantasy.

How could this happen to Ji Fengmian?

She was too smart to let anything happen to her.

When she returned, he must apologize to her properly.

Definitely…

However, after waiting for two hours, there was still no news.

Chu Boyang, who had been silently convincing himself and deceiving himself, finally lost his patience.

In its place was panic, which made him uneasy.

She was so smart, how could something really happen to her…

…

However, the next morning, the people on the mountain finally came down, but Ji Fengmian was nowhere to be seen.

Chu Boyang didn’t sleep the entire night. At this moment, in the director’s office, he heard from the leader of those people that it was a pity because the rain was heavy and all sorts of factors were present. They hadn’t found her yet…

After a sleepless night, Chu Boyang’s face and lips were pale.

They had not found anyone for the entire night!

It took Uncle Chu a long time to enter the office. He was also in a sorry state. His face was haggard as if he had aged nearly ten years overnight.

“Uncle Chu…” Chu Boyang wanted to ask about the outcome, but Uncle Chu raised his hand to stop him.

Her hand was still trembling, and her voice was weak but filled with heartache.

“Don’t call me that… I can’t bear it…”

He slowly shifted his gaze to Chu Boyang, his eyes cloudy. “I know I shouldn’t be calculative with you… But if it weren’t for you, such a big thing wouldn’t have happened to my Miss… Chu Boyang, my Miss has been with you for three years in vain… I thought it was normal for children to bicker and quarrel… It’s my fault, it’s my fault… I allowed things to develop and caused my Miss to lose her life…”

Chu Boyang’s eyes widened.

“What did you say?! What do you mean by dead? Ji Fengmian can’t be dead!”

Tears streamed down Uncle Chu’s face as he looked at the young man who was grabbing his clothes tightly. He raised his trembling hand to push him away.

“Nothing is impossible. The cliff is so steep. It would be a miracle to survive a fall from such a height…”

With that, he turned around and left shakily.

Chu Boyang was stunned for a long time before he got up and chased after him. Uncle Chu had already driven away.

Ye Jingyun stood at the entrance of the orphanage in a sorry state. She was covered in mud and her wet hair was tied up.

As if he had found a life-saving straw, Chu Boyang suddenly grabbed Ye Jingyun’s shoulder with such force that Ye Jingyun cried out in pain.

Chu Boyang didn’t seem to hear her. “Have you found Ji Fengmian? Not yet, right?!”

Ye Jingyun was shocked, but she still said,

“I found it…”

Chu Boyang was stunned. “…How is she?”

Ye Jingyun clasped her hands together and shook her head after a long while.

“She was covered in injuries, and none of them were healed… When we found her, her body had already turned cold…”
