Half a day past since Lin Feng went to complete the admission procedure.

He ran to the ward directly after going out of the doctor’s office. Opening the door, Lin Feng said, “Hurry up, I am going to buy some snacks outside, what would you like to eat…”

He immediately saw that the bed was empty without finishing his words. He ran to the bed and found that the handcuff had been fractured with one part of it hanging by the bedrails.

The policewoman could not wake up. He was really confused who made the girl unconscious.

Lin Feng started emitting cold sweat. He could only call back to the office to seek help.

“This is terrible, Sir, Zhao Ru escaped!”

“What? Ouch…” Ma Houde’s angry voice could be heard but it turned into a shout of shock. Then the young police heard an anguished sound from the other side of the phone. It seemed that Ma Houde had hit something, “How could she disappear?”

“I am not sure, I was completing the admission procedures with the doctor for a while. Xiao Ke was here watching her. But I found Xiao Ke unconscious when I came back. The handcuffs were sawed by something, the incision was tidy… I think someone dragged her away.”

“How long did they do it?”

“About ten minutes…No more than thirteen minutes!”

“OK.” Ma Houde added, “Just leave Xiao Ke in the hospital if you can’t wake her up, go to check the monitoring system in this hospital to see if there are any clues… She won’t get far in 13 minutes!”

“Yes, sir!”

On the other hand, Ma Houde hung up the phone and assigned missions to the other members. He almost forgot his painful knee which was hit just now.

“Try to check all the bus stations, train stations and airport. And also inform those illegal taxi drivers!” Ma Houde clapped his hands, “Go now, quickly!”

He evicted other policemen out of office in a very short time.

Hearing of the noises outside, Wang Yuechuan opened the door. He had already regarded the office as his own. Seeing the police rushing out, he frowned and asked, “What’s wrong here?”

Ma Houde was not going to blame Wang Yuechuan if he reviewed documents in the office. But he was apparently looking for trouble himself. Ma Houde said angrily. “Wang, do you know you caused a big mess? Zhao Ru was taken away from the hospital!”

Wang Yuechuan pulled a long face, and then walked out from the office. He asked, “Why was she taken by others? Your team lost her?”

Ma Houde snorted and said, “I believe my members! One of them fainted and stayed in the hospital! But you didn’t even tell me what you said to Zhao Ru! You should be clearer why she was taken! And, who caused her to be hurt thus needing treatment? Wang! Yue! Chuan!”

Wang Yuechuan didn’t respond to Ma Houde’s scolding. He was in deep thought. Later, he walked back to the meeting room and returned with clothes on. “Where is the hospital? Take me there.”

“What are you going to do? Do you think she will still hide in the hospital?”

“No.” Wang Yuechuan said seriously, “Officer Ma, take me there and I can tell you the truth. I am not going to look for Zhao Ru but to find that guy’s tracks.”

“That guy?” Ma Houde was confused and followed, “Which guy?”

“A scumbag.”

Ma Houde had no idea that who the scumbag was but he could feel Wang Yuechuan’s indignation.

…

…

There was no work that needed to be done in jail because of the visiting hours. Although some prisoners had no families or friends visiting, they could still enjoy a free day without working.

But Feng Guichun chose to lie in his bed.

Perhaps he was sleeping? It was rainy today… Seeing the gloomy and dump cell, Zhou Xiaokun thought that. He didn’t intend to wake the old man as he knew that it was better to leave Old Feng alone.

Zhou Xiaokun’s bed was on the left of Feng Guichun’s. He had nothing to do so he fell asleep soon.

There were a few people in the cell. Feng Guichun opened his quilts and picked up his pillow after glancing at Zhou Xiaokun. There was a photo under the bed sheet, which Old Feng had kept for years.

He would look at the photo every night before he went to sleep.

Years past and his vision became poor gradually.

Old Feng moved his body toward the window. He wore his glasses and tried to discern the photo with the help of light refracted from the iron window.

It was a normal photo. The photo showed a father sitting in a house with his daughter in a hug.

But Old Feng never got tired of seeing the photo.

He gently touched the little girl on the photo again and again. At last, he held the photo and leaned on the bed, saying to himself, “I know you don’t want to see me…it’s not your fault…”

He was tired and closed his eyes.

He heard a gentle voice saying something around his ear… and felt someone talking to him when he was half-asleep.

The voice said, ‘Do you give up meeting your daughter?’

Is that his voice? Old Feng was not sure… but he thought in heart, ‘I don’t want to bother her, it’s right for her not to see me…’

The voice continued, ‘But she may leave here forever when she finishes her wedding and you will have no chance to meet her at that time.’

Old Feng was sad, ‘It doesn’t matter… as long as I know she is happy, that’s enough.’

The voice didn’t give up, ‘How do you know she is happy if you don’t see her at all? Don’t you worry if the man treats her badly? Don’t you want to see how she looks like now? Don’t you want to hold her hands again?’

‘I do… but… she won’t see me anymore… I dragged her down.’

‘Just do it… follow your heart… just see her… I can make it come true… come on… if you want, give me something, then your wish can be achieved… come on…’

The voice was ringing around Old Feng’s ear.

That’s the voice of Tai Yinzi, made by imitating his voice.

Tai Yinzi was shocked that Old Feng reacting calmly.

‘F*ck! Why aren’t you giving me any reaction? I worked so hard.’

However, Feng Guichun… fell into deep sleep.
