Chapter 534 - 534 Some Clues
534 Some Clues
A vehicle came by quickly to pick Zhang Miao up from the village. Chen Hu always did things very efficiently.
In order for Zhang Miao to be able to lie down properly, Chen Hu specially made arrangements for a military truck. The stretcher could fit in the back of the truck so that Zhang Miao could lie down. Moreover, the back of the truck had a covering that could block out the wind and sand.
During this time of the year, the dew was heavy at night and the wind was also stronger, so they needed more blankets. Inside the truck, there were many military blankets, military coats and iron thermo bottles that were filled with hot water.
Qiao Mei noted everything she saw. She did not expect Chen Hu to be such a meticulous person.!!
“Hello, Qiao Mei. I’m a soldier who reports to Chen Hu. Just call me Xiaobei,” Xiaobei said to Qiao Mei with a grin.
“Hello. Do you need us to do anything now?” Qiao Mei asked.
“Let’s carry the child up first. My boss has already contacted the hospital. If we send her over now, she can receive treatment right away. The hospital has the best specialists,” Xiaobei said.
“Great, I’ll go and make the arrangements now.” After saying that, Qiao Mei went into the room to find someone to make the arrangements.
When Zhang Miao was carried out on a stretcher, Qiao Mei could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.
The small little child’s face was very pale without a trace of color in it. She lay quietly on the stretcher, and even her breathing was extremely weak.
What kind of beast could do something so evil to such a young child!
“Mom, put on the military coat and sit at the back to take care of Zhang Miao. Xia Zhe will accompany you,” Qiao Mei said calmly.
At this moment, Li Gui could no longer hear anything. She crouched helplessly next to Zhang Miao’s stretcher and wept loudly.
Out of her four children, this was the child she loved the most. This child was usually sunny and cheerful, always filling her with joy. If it was not for this child, she definitely would not have been able to survive those difficult days.
“My daughter! Why are you like this?! Get up and look at Mom!” Li Gui wailed.
Qiao Mei helped Li Gui up so that the stretcher could be lifted into the truck. She did not want to miss out on the golden time for treatment.
“Mom, calm down. Zhang Miao needs everyone to be supportive now. We have to rush to the hospital to save her. If we delay any longer, Zhang Miao’s life will be in danger,” Qiao Mei said.
Li Gui gradually calmed down. The most important thing now was to save Zhang Miao.
She had to persevere and not fall apart. She still had to go and look for Zhang Qian and ask him for the money to save Zhang Miao’s life!
“Yes! I still have to ask Zhang Qian for money! Let’s go! Let’s send Zhang Miao to the hospital quickly!” Li Gui stumbled up the truck.
After Xia Zhe set down their things properly and Qiao Mei left behind some instructions, they set off for the hospital.
There was someone at the entrance of the hospital to receive them. After being carried down from the truck, Zhang Miao was sent into the operating theater.
“Mei Mei, I’ll go and look for Zhang Qian. Can you both stay here and help me look after Miao Miao?” Li Gui pleaded.
Qiao Mei held Li Gui back and said, “There’s no hurry to do that. We can talk about it later. The most important thing now is to make sure Zhang Miao is settled down. When Zhang Miao’s life is out of danger, you still have to go back and look after Zhang Wei. There’s no hurry to ask Zhang Qian for money now.”
Li Gui had no choice but to listen to Qiao Mei. Chen Hu gave Qiao Mei a call at that moment.
“Hello, Qiao Mei, it’s your Uncle Hu. I’ve already sent people around to find the whereabouts of the two children, Zhang Chao and Zhang Qin. Don’t be too anxious. How’s Zhang Miao? I heard from Xiaobei that he has already sent you to the hospital,” Chen Hu said.
Qiao Mei said in a low voice, “She’s still undergoing emergency treatment. Thank you very much, Uncle Hu. If it’s not for you, this child would have lost her life.”
Chen Hu laughed heartily and said, “Hahahahaha! You’re being so polite! If it weren’t for your grandfather back then, I might have lost my life! There’s no need to be so polite between us!”
Qiao Mei quietly walked to one side and asked, “Uncle Hu, tell me the truth. Have you gotten any clues by now?”
Chen Hu suddenly fell silent. It was not that he did not notice anything weird about this matter, but he was still unsure. He suspected that the children had been sold.
He had been stationed at this area for a long time. He would hear of similar incidents of children getting stolen, but it was usually the families who had sold off their children themselves. Some families had too many children and could not afford to feed them, so they sold their children in private.
As long as both parties accepted these things and no one reported the case, the authorities would not be able to get involved. What if the children’s parents did not want them when they were found? After all, the children’s parents did not want to look for them. What could the authorities do even when they found the children?
