Gu Xinzhou: "Okay! I'll be there within half an hour!"
Zhang Wei: "Alright, do you need to discuss this with Mr. Song?"
Gu Xinzhou: "He's in George's room, I'll go and let him know right now."
Zhang Wei: "Alright."
The call ended.
Gu Xinzhou walked over to the bathroom and looked at McDull in the bathtub: "McDull, you soak for five more minutes, because mommy has a very important errand to run. Mommy will wash your hair and change you into your pajamas, then you have to sleep by yourself, okay?"
"No!" McDull pouted grievously: "Take me with you!"
Gu Xinzhou: "..."
McDull: "Mommy, I promise, I won't talk, I'll be quiet and won't bother you, please take me with you!"
Fifteen minutes later.
Gu Xinzhou left through the second-floor door, holding McDull.
They did not pass by George's room, nor were they seen by anyone else.
Gu Xinzhou held McDull's little hand and hailed a taxi directly at the entrance of the compound, and the mother and son rushed to the Haiyan District police station as quickly as possible.
When Zhang Wei and his colleagues saw McDull, their hearts were heavy.
For they were reminded of the first time they saw George in the hospital.
McDull hadn't expected that mommy would bring him to the police station!
In a child's mind, this was a place for locking up bad people, somewhere good people would never go.
He nervously clutched Gu Xinzhou's little hand, not daring to make a sound.
Gu Xinzhou greeted Zhang Wei, explaining that there was no one to take care of McDull at home, so she had brought him along.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Wei agreed to let them go into the interrogation room to see Chen Shan, considering Gu Xinzhou was insistent.
The lights in the interrogation room were a stark white.
It seemed as though all virtues and flaws, good deeds or bad, couldn't hide under such lighting.
Gu Xinzhou and McDull sat on a bench, with a cup of coffee and a box of milk that Zhang Wei had gotten from a colleague placed on the long table in front of them.
Across from them, about three meters away, was a single chair.
A few minutes later.
Under the escort of a police officer, Chen Shan arrived in the room.
At her first sight of Gu Xinzhou, she opened her mouth wide in surprise.
She had never imagined George's biological mother would be so beautiful. Although she always felt fortunate that George was handsome, seeing Gu Xinzhou still shocked her.
Once she settled down.
McDull, who had been lying on the bench, propped himself up and sat upright.
The little figure, like a small Buddha, sat next to Gu Xinzhou with only a pair of round shoulders and a plump little face showing.
Those facial features...
Chen Shan, who had raised George for four full years, could not possibly mistake them!
She exclaimed in surprise, "This is..."
"This is George's biological little brother," Gu Xinzhou's voice trembled slightly.
She finally faced Chen Shan, the woman who took away her son!
Gu Xinzhou's expression, devoid of visible malice, was distantly aloof, making it impossible for someone to hold her gaze, or even to start a conversation.
Chen Shan lowered her head, after a long while: "I'm sorry."
From beneath Gu Xinzhou's long hair, a Bluetooth headset was concealed, Zhang Wei's voice came through: "According to the regulations, the visitation time is only half an hour, you now have 25 minutes left."
Gu Xinzhou pinched the base of her thumb hard under the table.
Raising her head again, she looked at Chen Shan: "Why did you steal my child?"
McDull became fearful.
Wasn't he here?
He had always been with mommy, and he looked so much like daddy, he definitely was the biological child of daddy and mommy.
Subconsciously, the little body leaned into Gu Xinzhou's embrace.
