Chapter 113 - 113 Hit the Mark by a Fluke
113 Hit the Mark by a Fluke
Lu Zhi and Shen Yunci were back.
The two of them went home to pack some things. With Lu Ning’s condition as it was, she would definitely be staying in the hospital for a long time.
Lu Ning looked up and saw the two of them; Shen Yunci immediately trotted over.
“Ning’ning, you’re awake! Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Does it hurt? Are you feeling alright?”
As she asked, before Lu Ning could respond to her questions she had choked up.
Lu Ning handed the cup back to Lu Qing and comforted Shen Yunci.
“Mom, I’m fine. Look, aren’t I awake now?”
She raised her hand and gently wiped Shen Yunci’s tears, trying not to show any pain in front of her.
Lu Zhi put the things down and quickly poured out some of the porridge from the thermos for Lu Ning.
“Ning’ning, you must be hungry. Quick, have some porridge.”
Lu Zhi wanted to feed her, but Shen Yunci grabbed him.
“Let me do it.”
“You’re still recovering yourself, how can I let you?”
“I can do it! My other hand’s fine!”
Seeing the two of them arguing, Lu Ning could not help but mutter, “Why not, I’ll feed myself?”
“No way!”
The two of them spoke up in unison, startling Lu Ning.
Shen Yunci looked at Lu Zhi. “You scoop, I feed. That’ll work, right?”
Lu Zhi was powerless. “Alright, alright.”
Lu Ning could not help but giggle while watching the two of them.
There was finally some vitality on her pale face.
——————
Lu Ning did not know what they had told Lu Zhi and the others, so when Shen Yunci asked her about what had happened, she stammered and said that she could not remember.
Shen Yunci’s heart ached for her, so she did not ask further. After that, Lin Ci quietly told her what they had said when no one else was around.
Before Lu Ning could comprehend it, Shen Yunci had already called the police.
When the police came to take her statement, Lu Ning appeared calm—but she was panicking inside; after all, this was all made up, and she had wasted the police’s resources for this.
She said that she could not remember most of it, but Lu Jingzhi’s description was so vivid that it was as if he had really experienced it himself.
Later on, Lu Ning found out that Lu Jingzhi had indeed experienced it personally, because the police really caught a human trafficker who was abducting children nearby.
The human trafficker had not been active in that area for a long time; there were no surveillance cameras there to begin with, so it was easy for him to strike. However, unbeknownst to him, there were more police officers after he had not been there for so long. As soon as he made a move, he was caught by the plainclothes officers nearby.
Lu Ning was stunned when she heard the news.
Did he… hit the mark by a fluke?
Most importantly, Lu Ning thought that this matter would be over, but she did not expect a missing child’s family to come looking for her.
The missing child had been kidnapped by this human trafficker and never found; the human trafficker was not in a hurry to transfer the child, so after arresting him they went to his hideout and rescued the child.
The family members felt that it was all thanks to Lu Ning and the others, and that Lu Ning was even injured ‘in the line of action’. So, the entire family had come to see her.
They even brought Lu Jingzhi a whole lot of toys, bought Lin Ci a ton of food and drinks, and gave Lu Ning tonics.
Lu Ning: “…”
Lin Ci: “…”
Lu Jingzhi looked at the table full of toys and scowled.
The spinning fish that sang when it was turned on gave him a headache; did they really take him for a three-year-old child?
What was even more ridiculous was that this matter had shaken the television station and the media up—they said that they wanted to interview Lu Ning, and Lu Ning was so afraid that she refused insistently.
She really did not do anything!
