MVP in the next examination room

The two people were in different places, staring at the message sent by the other party that completely coincided with their own, and were stunned.

After a while, Yuan Che's phone vibrated again.

Regular tremors cling to the palm, and two particularly eye-catching words flash on the caller ID.Yuan Che clutched the phone for a while, swiped down to answer.

A familiar voice came from the mobile phone immediately, and it was clearly attached to the ear, but it seemed to be thousands of miles away: "Are you... back?"

Yuan Che moved his lips, his throat was dry: "On the road."

Tang Ran was silent for a while. He wanted to say a lot, but he didn't know what to say for a while, and finally he only said four words: "Then... I'll wait for you."

After buckling the phone, Yuan Che closed his eyes and lay on his back on the car seat.

What happened in the past few days, if it were someone who was emotionally weak, he would probably have to find a place where no one was around to cry and vent his emotions that he couldn't confide in, but he has neither the time nor the energy right now.

The eyes are dry and astringent, which is the result of not resting for many days.Physical exhaustion urges him to take this time to take a nap, but his brain does not allow him to relax for a moment—he hasn't figured out what kind of posture he will use to tear apart Dong Meng's lies over the years when he goes back.

She is just a substitute for her missing son.This cruel and ridiculous lie has been woven into an impenetrable web by the people around him since he could remember anything.

Even his grandparents, who have always loved him, are silent and concealed accomplices.

But Yuan Che has no extra strength to hate them now.

His life track, when he was stolen by that woman 16 years ago, deviated from the normal track and slipped into an unknown bleakness.

His parents, relatives, household registration, and even the yellowed birth certificate are not his.

Only the one who said "I'll wait for you" to him.

It was the only vivid and strong color in his 16 years of life.

There were still three hours to go back to City C by car. Yuan Che leaned back quietly in his chair, closed his eyes for a while, and pulled himself together to reply to the unread messages from these days one by one.

Not long after he finished replying to Teacher Ren's message, Shang Xiao's dialog box suddenly popped up——

【Shang Xiao】:[/link]

Title: [C City Online: Emergency spread, citizens please pay attention and actively provide clues]

Yuan Che clicked in.

This is a piece of news that was released not long ago today. It briefly reported that a young mother in city C was taking a baby with her in the square outside a commercial building, and the baby was accidentally lost.

According to the investigation and monitoring, it was a woman of medium build, wearing a light pink sun protection suit, wearing a sun hat and sunglasses who took the child away. The police called the monitoring along the way and found that the woman stopped a silver car on Chuanyang Road. Citroen car, holding the child and sitting in it.

After that, the Citroen drove into a residential area called Xingfu Community.

According to this emergency push report, the police quickly found the owner of the Citroen car. The middle-aged woman lives in the happy community.

After the police came to the door, they showed their ID and made some inquiries. The owner of the car said that she took an order from the commercial building to the Xingfu Community on Didi software. When she drove to a nearby location, a woman with a baby in her arms waved to her. It was the customer who placed the order, so he stopped the car and asked her to come up.

Only halfway through the car did I realize that this was not the client she wanted to pick up.

But firstly, he was already in the car, and secondly, there was still a young child in her arms, so she made a mistake and sent him to the gate of Xingfu Community.

The owner of the car recalled that the woman asked herself to stop the car at the gate of the community, saying that she would get off here and wait for a relative's car to pick her up and go home with her children for dinner.

The monitoring at the entrance of the community showed that the woman did get out of the car with the child in her arms, but not long after the Citroen drove into the community, the woman looked around and walked into the happy community with the child in her arms, and then never came out again. .

The official public account called [C City Online] calls on the public to pay more attention, actively provide clues to the police, and help the parents of the children find their children as soon as possible.

After sharing the link, Shang Xiao sent another message: "Old Yuan, look at the car in the photo, is Aunt Dong sitting in the driver's seat?"

In the middle of the text, there are two pictures cut from the surveillance camera. One of them is a silver-white Citroen sedan. Through the window, the figure of the owner can be vaguely glimpsed.

Shang Xiao’s mother used the software to call a car when she went out a while ago, and happened to call Dong Meng’s once, so she knew her new car.She usually loves to play WeChat, and follows many official accounts. "C City Online" is the one she usually reads the most. As soon as she swiped to the new news, she immediately clicked in.

[Shang Xiao]: My mother said that the driver looked like Aunt Dong, so she just called and asked.Aunt Dong said that it was only when the police came to her that she found out that the woman was holding an abducted child in her arms. She was also shocked and provided all the information she knew to the police.

[Shang Xiao]: Looking at the meaning of the news, the last stop that can be traced is the Happy Community.My mother said that if there is no progress in this matter, the police may have to ask Aunt Dong a few more times, or you should not go home and come to live with us first?

Yuan Che's right hand holding the phone trembled imperceptibly.

——Dong Meng was once again involved in a child abduction case. Is this really just a coincidence?

He lowered his head, took a deep breath, slid the page to the top with his fingers, and read the report carefully from the beginning.

The number of residential buildings in Xingfu Community is not very large, and there are no high-rise buildings. If the traffickers are hiding in an acquaintance's house, the police should block the front and rear doors of the community, and it shouldn't take long to find them.

Wait, back door!

The Xingfu community has been around for some years, and many facilities are not perfect. There is only a surveillance camera at the front door, and there is no surveillance in other locations.

If the woman leaves by the back door with the child in her arms, or if she has an accomplice to meet her by the back door...then

It will be difficult to track down.

This possibility has obviously been considered by the police and the parents of the children, otherwise they would not have sent it in real time through the official news account to seek the help of the citizens.

Just over half an hour before Shang Xiao sent the link to Yuan Che, Tang Ran had just put on his windbreaker and was about to go downstairs when Gao Xiaohui called him in a crying voice.

At noon this day, the nanny found that the child's diapers were almost used up, so she went to the supermarket to buy some after preparing lunch.Gao Xiaohui didn't need to do this kind of thing in person, but after staying at home for a long time, she felt a little bored, so she decided to go with the nanny to get some air.

When the nanny was in the supermarket to make purchases, she would stroll around the outer square of the business building with a baby stroller, and then go home with her after the nanny finished shopping.

The surrounding area of ​​the business building was bustling and bustling. Gao Xiaohui was a little tired from walking. She sat down on a bench, put one hand on the handle of the baby stroller for twins, raised the other hand, and straightened the white cashmere around her neck. scarf.

The child was lost in just 10 minutes.

During this period, several men and women who were shopping together passed behind her, and the metal buckle on a lady's satchel accidentally caught her long hair as she passed by.

The owner of the bag hurriedly stopped and apologized repeatedly, and her companion also came to Gao Xiaohui's side and hurriedly helped to untangle the hair from the metal buckle. The whole process lasted less than a minute.

After the two apologized again, they turned and left.Gao Xiaohui straightened her hair, turned her head to look at the stroller, her face changed instantly - in the stroller for twins, a child was missing at some point!

She stood up in a panic and looked around, but she couldn't see the shadow of the child anywhere.

Gao Xiaohui tightly held the push handle of the stroller with one hand, and looked around while walking. With the other trembling, she took out her mobile phone and quickly pressed three numbers. After calling the police, she called Tang Minghua with red eyes. .

Tang Minghua was holding a high-level meeting, and his phone was set to do-not-disturb mode. Gao Xiaohui called twice but couldn't get through. In desperation, she actually called Tang Ran.

It happened that this commercial building happened to be one of the properties under the name of the Tang family. Tang Ran made a lot of troubles in that area when he was a child, and he couldn't be more clear about where surveillance cameras were installed around.He was much calmer than Gao Xiaohui at this time, so he casually comforted her, then called Tang Minghua's secretary and told him to notify the security department as soon as possible, calling out the surveillance cameras at several locations during this time period, and then went out to take a taxi , rushed to where Gao Xiaohui was.

The lack of facilities in Xingfu Community has indeed brought great difficulties to the police.

It doesn’t have an access control system, so there is no registration of residents’ private cars. The police can only use the surveillance video of the front door of the complex to screen the information of the vehicles entering and leaving the complex within a period of time before and after the woman entered the complex with her child in her arms.

Yuan Che arrived in City C, raised his hand to stop a taxi, and directly reported the address of the nearest police station to the Commercial Building.

"Hello, please check the surveillance video of the Xingfu Community two evenings ago," the staff of the police station was a little surprised to see the half-grown child walk in the door, and raised his phone to light up the report interface of [C City Online] , then turned the hand holding the mobile phone back to the side, looked at them with clear eyes, and calmly reported a series of license plate numbers, "The car with this plate number should have entered the Xingfu Community at around [-]:[-] in the evening. There may be a connection to this case."

------------

When Tang Minghua rushed to the lounge of the police station near the commercial building, Gao Xiaohui was holding the remaining child in her arms, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was staring blankly ahead.

Tang Ran walked in after him, leaned against the wall with arms folded, watched Tang Minghua sit down beside Gao Xiaohui, put her arms around her shoulders, and patted her reassuringly twice.

The sound of footsteps came from far to near, and a young policeman walked towards the lounge, cleared his throat slightly, and said to the people in the room: "According to the clues provided by the enthusiastic citizens, the case has made a breakthrough, we are now A vehicle with the plate number X33X7 has been locked, and a checkpoint has been set up at the intersection of Hanxi Road to intercept..."

Gao Xiaohui came back to her senses suddenly, and stood up from the chair, with tears and hope shining in her eyes: "The child is in the car!?"

"According to the surveillance footage, the woman sitting in the back seat of the car is suspected to be a woman who kidnapped the child," the policeman said. "The car will soon reach the intersection of Hanxi Road. We will notify you as soon as there is news ahead."

Just when the boy reported the license plate number, the policeman still doubted what he said—after all, he was young and there was no real evidence. This was just his personal speculation and suspicion.

The policeman asked, "Do you have evidence?"

Yuan Che read the urgent push, and contacted the second brother of the Internet cafe owner at the gate of the community on the bus that was about to arrive at the station.

This guy spends much more time squatting in front of the store than looking at the phone in the store every day. He is very familiar with the residents and private vehicles in the community. Yuan Che asked him if he had seen a black Nissan with the plate number X33X7 entering and leaving the community recently. .

The second brother recalled it for a moment: "I seem to have seen it the night before yesterday."

Yuan Che asked him what time period he was in.

The second brother quickly gave a reply: "It's about [-]:[-]. I remember that there were a lot more cars entering through the front door than usual. It happened to be the time when I got off work, and the traffic was blocked—oh By the way, the sewer at the back door was just being dug up for maintenance that day."

When the bus arrived, Yuan Che flagged down a taxi, quickly reported the address of the police station, and then continued to talk to the second brother: "Apart from that day, when else did you see it?"

The second brother thought for a long time: "No, just that day... Hey, why are you asking about this?"

Yuan Che just said to ask casually, hung up the call, frowned, and went through the information provided by the second brother in his mind again.

That black Nissan car was driven by the man he ran into at noon that day. He clearly remembered the direction the man left and the dodge in Dong Meng's eyes when he mentioned whether there had been guests at home.

What kind of urgent work that must be done by her will make Dong Meng insist on finishing it before leaving after receiving the news that his father is seriously ill?

The monitoring at the entrance of the Xingfu Community is very unobtrusive. Since the traffickers have chosen this place as a transfer point, it is impossible for them not to have checked the environment before and failed to notice the camera.

He said he was waiting for a relative to pick him up here, but he walked into the community after a few minutes. Could it be that Didi drivers gave the police wrong information and interfered with judgment?

This is unreasonable, what is the point of this move?

——The only possibility he could think of was to clear Dong Meng's suspicion.

Yuan Che's eyes sank little by little.

Tang Ran leaned against the wall of the lounge, silently watching Tang Minghua try his best to suppress the worried expression on his face, and comforted Gao Xiaohui in a low voice.

After watching for a while, he looked away and stared boredly at the snow-white wall on the other side, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Tang Minghua's figure walking towards him.

Tang Ran Bafeng stood motionless, his eyes fixed on that place motionless.

Tang Minghua stood still in front of him, raised his hand, and gently placed it on his shoulder.

"Thank you." Tang Minghua's steady voice sounded in his ear.

In the afternoon, Tang Ran rushed to the Commerce and Trade Building, took the surveillance camera and asked Gao Xiaohui to take it to the police station for screening. He pressed the floor where the conference room was located. Regardless of the security at the door, he went in and informed Tang Minghua directly that his son was lost, so let him watch it by himself. do it.

After the youngest son was lost, Tang Minghua never expected Tang Ran's actions. It is undeniable that Tang Ran's way and method of handling this matter were far beyond his imagination.

It was neater than he had imagined, and more mature than he had imagined—although the way of breaking into the meeting room was a little scary, it was overall very efficient considering the overall situation.

Tang Ran withdrew his gaze, and just as he landed on Tang Minghua's face, the other party suddenly made an unexpected move.

He wrapped his arms around, gently wrapped Tang Ran into his arms, and gave him a restrained and restrained hug.

Tang Minghua said, "Son, thank you."

It was hard for Tang Ran to describe his mood at this moment.

How to put it, this seems to be the first hug he gave himself after his mother ended the marriage and turned away.

It is also the first sentence that is so gentle and heartfelt.

Solemn and careful.

Tang Minghua suddenly felt that perhaps it was time for him to make some changes in the way he viewed him and communicated with him over the years.

A certain hidden place in Tang Ran's heart was inevitably sour, then raised his hand and gently pushed his father, and said arrogantly and awkwardly: "Just this time, I won't bother to lose it again."

The delicate atmosphere between father and son was floating, and the young policeman suddenly raised an excited voice: "Found it! We successfully stopped the target vehicle at the intersection of Hanxi Road! The child has been rescued, and our colleagues are taking the child to Hurry here!"

-----------

After taking the child, the police did not relax at all. They quickly held down the driver of the Nissan car and the woman who took the child away, escorted them into the police car, and took them back to the clinic for interrogation.

At the same time, the police stationed around the Xingfu community also quickly dispatched, controlled Dong Meng who was staying at home, and brought them back to the institute for interrogation.

In the police station, the policeman in charge of the case issued a series of orders and came to the teenager who provided important clues.

"We had doubts about the owner of the Citroen car before, but there was no real evidence, so we could only monitor it secretly and could not be detained for interrogation," the policeman said. "Why are you so sure that she has something to do with this case?"

The boy's hair was a little long in front of his forehead, and it was easy to block his eyes when he lowered his head.

He raised his head, his face still calm, but the blood on his lips was very pale, and his voice was a little low: "Because, she is my... mother."

When he said the last two words, the boy had an imperceptible ironic smile on his lips.

Tang Minghua wanted to meet this enthusiastic citizen who provided key information.

He followed the young policeman to another room and saw a familiar face.

He was surprised for a moment, then quickly realized, stepped forward, and thanked Yuan Che sincerely.

"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, or if you need help, please let me know."

Yuan Che didn't expect that the abducted child belonged to the Tang family.

He was stunned for a moment, and instinctively wanted to shake his head to decline, but he suddenly thought of something, stopped the car in time, nodded, and agreed with Tang Minghua's promise: "Okay... I will tell you after I think about it."

Tang Minghua patted Yuan Che on the shoulder, and asked him meaningfully: "By the way, have they... Have you been in touch recently?"

you? "

"They" refers to Fang Qi and his wife, Yuan Che understood.

This time, he did not evade, raised his eyes to look directly at Tang Minghua, and replied bluntly: "When it is convenient for them, I will go to the hospital to cooperate with the appraisal."

"Okay," Tang Minghua took out his mobile phone, "Can I do it today?"

The sooner this happens the better.

Suddenly there was a light cough from outside the door.

Tang Ran didn't intend to follow this enthusiastic citizen. The child over there had been brought back safely by the police and sent to Gao Xiaohui's arms. He was really bored in the lounge and planned to come out for a walk.

As a result, in the corridor, I heard the voice that I have been thinking about these days.

Yuan Che looked up, and the moment his eyes met Tang Ran, the whole portrait was fixed in place.

After being dazed for a moment, he resolutely and quickly rejected Tang Minghua: "Sorry, I still have something urgent to deal with today."

Tang Minghua looked back and saw Tang Ran standing not far from the door. Before he could respond, Yuan Che said "goodbye" in a low voice, walked sideways, and went straight to the door.

In the ear is the noisy wind in the evening, and above the head is a round of colorful sunset.

In the corridor just now, without saying a word, Tang Ran grabbed Yuan Che's wrist and dragged him towards the police station.

Yuan Che didn't know where he was going to take him, but he didn't want to ask, so he let him wrap his wrists and ran forward in big strides in the afterglow of the evening. The surroundings turned into jumping and illusory lines. , as if they were the only ones left.

They ran across the freshly paved snack street, past the majestic gate of Shengjing Middle School, into the dormitory building where the setting sun was shining, and up to the open and spacious rooftop.

Before he could catch his breath, Tang Ran pushed Yuan Che against the wall next to the entrance of the rooftop.His movements were obviously extremely fierce, but when his back hit the wall, he didn't feel the slightest pain.

Tang Ran gritted his teeth and whispered in his ear: "You will play Lost Contact without telling me where to go, did you do it on purpose?"

Yuan Che replied subconsciously: "...you don't want to hear it?"

As soon as he said it, he regretted it.

According to this connection method, the two can fight in less than three seconds, and declare their relationship in less than five seconds

Cracked again.

Tang Ran obviously also thought of this consequence, and gritted his teeth and stared at him for a while. The two of them stood in a stalemate for a while. They didn't know who was leading the way first.

After a while, Yuan Che was the first to suppress the smile on his lips, and said seriously, "I have something to tell you."

Tang Ran also retracted the obvious arc of the corners of his mouth, and replied, "Say it."

Yuan Che suddenly fell silent.

I want to say too much, it's not that I don't know where to start, but when I look at the eyes of the person in front of me, I feel a sense of retreat for no reason.

——I want you to know all of me, but I am afraid of letting you know all of me. This kind of contradiction is insurmountable.

Tang Ran seemed to understand something from his silence, sighed, and said quietly: "You can actually be more narcissistic in front of your boyfriend."

Yuan Che looked up at him, with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Tang Ran said without hesitation: "I like all of you."

"The first one, the last one," Tang Ran counted for him, "100 catties, 200 catties..."

Yuan Che couldn't help but curled up the corner of his mouth, and made a gesture to kick him, cursing: "Get lost, you only weigh 200 catties."

Tang Ran looked at him and smiled, then suddenly tightened his arms and pressed him into his arms.

"Just this time," Tang Ran said, "we won't quarrel in the future, okay?"

Yuan Che raised his arms and hugged Tang Ran back, his forearms clinging to his back. The material of the windbreaker was a bit hard, and the body heat from running just now slowly seeped out of it.

"Okay," Yuan Che said, "In the future, if there is something to do, let's fight directly."

"..." Tang Ran called out his name, and then said, "Being your boyfriend is such a high-risk job."

Yuan Che: "I didn't say I wouldn't let you fight back."

"That won't work either," Tang Ran said, "I can't beat you."

Yuan Che felt that Tang Ran's hands were getting tighter and tighter, and his heartbeat became more presumptuous one after another, and he gradually had difficulty breathing.

This person doesn't know if he really can't beat himself, but it is really possible to strangle himself to death.

He pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled, called out Tang Ran's name, gave himself a brief mental construction, and said, "I'll tell you everything about the past..."

Tang Ran said, "Don't say what you don't want to say, and I don't want to know about those."

Yuan Che smiled: "I want to tell you."

Tang Ran unexpectedly insisted: "Then don't talk about it, I don't want to hear it now."

Yuan Che: "?"

As soon as Tang Ran's words fell, the singing sounded in the dormitory building, shaking the entire dormitory area.

Tang Ran: "I ordered a song for you. Fortunately, I caught up with it. Don't talk, just listen first. It cost me 20 yuan."

Damn, I thought it was free to order songs from the radio station, but it turned out that during the cultural festival, there was a charge!

A full twenty oceans!

After the cheerful and retro prelude was played, the whole dormitory building exploded: "Grass? Which uncle ordered the song! Think this is the Spring Festival Gala!"

The melodious yet lively female voice echoed over the dormitory area:

"The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are reconciled, the family is warm, and life is getting better and better.

Children are taller, more sensible, and learn better

……

Hey~ it's getting better and better come come come come~"

Yuan Che: "..."

Tang Ran looked at him affectionately in this classic melody: "How about it, do you like it?"

What a beautiful and sincere wish! !

Yuan Che: "...you let me go."

"Don't let it go," Tang Ran smiled childishly, "I will never let it go."

The setting sun gently outlines the silhouettes of the two teenagers on the rooftop.

will get better.

We will always walk hand in hand towards our future.
