Chapter Twenty-Eight: Thinking of a Woman Becomes Ill
The doorman glanced at Tang Xin vigilantly and asked, "Which unit are you from, what's the matter with Director Xia?"
"I don't have a unit, so I'm looking for Director Xia for some private matters. β
"Did you call Director Xia before you came, did you make an appointment?"
"No phone calls and no appointments. Tang Xin replied truthfully.
The doorman shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, if you don't have an appointment with Director Xia because of business, you can't go to his office to find him." β
Tang Xin knew that the current public security and law organs were very strict in terms of access control, especially when he saw the number one in the unit, it was difficult to enter without an appointment, so he took out Song Yao's silver collar from his bag and said to the doorman: "Big brother, please call Director Xia, just say that I am here to give him a silver collar." β
"Silver collar, are you trying to bribe? Then I can't let you in. The doorman stared at the silver collar and sternly refused.
Tang Xin said with a little cry and laughter: "Big brother, if I want to bribe Director Xia, what role can a silver collar play?" Let me remind you: This silver collar is very important to Director Xia, if you don't let me in, if he knows about it in the future, he will definitely blame you." β
The doorman saw that his expression was very serious when he spoke, not like a joke, so he asked, "How can I tell Director Xia?"
"You tell him that someone has come to give him a silver collar, and this silver collar belongs to the little princess, and he will understand. β
Although the doorman felt that his words were a little inexplicable, he still dialed the phone number of Director Xia's office.
"Director Xia, hello, I'm Xiao Li in the guard room. Here's a young man coming to you and saying he's going to give you a silver collar. He also said that this silver collar belonged to the little princessβ"
As soon as he said this, there was an exclamation of "ah" on the phone.
Then, I heard Director Xia ask in an unusually hurried tone: "Xiao Li, is the person who gave the silver collar a man or a woman? How old is he and what does he look like?"
"It's a boy, in his early twenties, and he's pretty handsome. β
"Look at what is carved on that silver collar?"
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll take a look. β
Then, he beckoned to Tang Xin, motioned for him to come over, and then approached the silver collar, looked at the ornaments on it, and said into the microphone: "Director Xia, I saw it just now, there are some flowers and plants carved on the silver collar, as well as a few birds." β
"Xiao Li, invite him in, I'll wait for him in the office. β
Xiao Li heard Director Xia use the word "please", and didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly hung up the phone and said to Tang Xin: "Director Xia, please come in, his office is Room 408 on the fourth floor." β
Tang Xin nodded and walked through the guard room towards the office building.
At this time, Xia Guowei, who was waiting for Tang Xin in the director's office, couldn't wait to walk out from behind the desk. His cheeks flushed, his eyes lit up, and his breathing became rapid.
Director Xia, who is now in a high position, is the biological father that Song Yao has been looking for for more than ten years.
Fourteen years ago, Xia Guowei was the director of the Nangong Town Police Station in Lengxi County, which is subordinate to Hengjiang City, and his wife Liao Meiru taught at the Lengxi County Central Primary School.
During the summer vacation of that year, Liao Meiru suddenly received a call from her brother, saying that her mother was suddenly ill and was rescued at the county people's hospital, and asked her to go home quickly.
Liao Meiru is a Miao ethnic group whose hometown is in a county in Xiangxi. After receiving a call from her brother, she immediately sent her four-and-a-half-year-old daughter Charlene to the Nangong Town Police Station, asked her husband to take her for a few days, and then hurriedly took the train back to her hometown.
Xia Guowei is a very enterprising and extremely responsible person for his work, because he often has to go to the police, he entrusted his daughter to a female policeman who is engaged in internal work in the station and asked her to help take care of it.
Unexpectedly, on the third day of Liao Meiru's departure, because of the negligence of the female policeman, Xia Lin was abducted by traffickers and did not know where to go......
Xia Lin has been very beautiful and cute since she was a child, and she is smart and clever, she can memorize more than 20 Tang poems at the age of three, and she can only give birth to one child at that time, so Xia Guowei and his wife love her like a treasure, and they have always called her "little baby" and "little princess" at home.
When she learned that her daughter was missing, Liao Meiru, who was far away in Xiangxi, fainted several times a day......
From that day on, Liao Meiru began to embark on a long road to find a woman. In order to find her daughter, she took leave for many years and was finally dismissed from the school.
Because her daughter was abducted at the police station, Liao Meiru thought that her husband had lost her daughter through negligence, so every time she went out to find her daughter without success, she would come back and quarrel with Xia Guowei, and tried to commit suicide several times out of despair, but fortunately she was found and saved in time.
Later, because she missed her daughter, Liao Meiru suffered from intermittent schizophrenia. As soon as she got sick, she would run out into the street and ask people, "Have you seen my little princess?" She is so beautiful, prettier than all the children......
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, when the third watch slept in bed, she would suddenly wake up, jump out of bed, and run outside, crying and saying, "My little princess is back...... I heard her calling for Mom...... Little princess, little baby, don't be afraid, mom is here to pick you up......"
Even when she was awake, she would sometimes burst into a burst of tears, crying and crying, "My poor daughter, where are you? Are you still alive? Are you starving? Are you beaten? Are you wandering in the streets? My good baby, my little princess, you are coming back! You are sorry for me......
Every time he encounters this kind of scene, although Xia Guowei is also heartbroken, he can only endure the pain to comfort his wife, saying that maybe Linlin was sold to a good family, and she will not be beaten and starved, and when she grows up in the future, she may find her home after knowing her life experience......
In the process of looking for her daughter, Liao Meiru was pregnant twice, but because she was in a bad mood and insisted on looking for her daughter during pregnancy, she had both miscarriages. Later, after a doctor's examination, she was no longer able to have children.
However, despite the extreme misfortune of his family, Xia Guowei's official fortune is very good: in just over ten years, he has been promoted from the director of a county police station to the deputy mayor and director of the municipal public security bureau.
And Liao Meiru, although because of her age and decreased energy, she goes out to look for her daughter less and less, but she misses her daughter more and more in her heart......
Because of this, when he heard that someone came to give him the "little princess's silver collar", Xia Guowei immediately realized that his daughter might have news, and he was so surprised that he almost suffocated......
A few minutes later, there was a soft knock on the door outside.
Xia Guowei suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart, and tried his best to say in a calm tone: "Please come in." β
