Chapter 360: Chapter 360 - Ruthless Parent Snatching The Child, Scaring Huai Sheng to Cry

Yunjin Prime Manor…

“F*ck, since those people abandoned him, why are they f*cking here to find him?”

Fu Chen held his Buddhist prayer bead bracelet in his hand, his expression as indifferent as usual.

When he picked Huai Sheng up once, he remembered Old Madam Fu sighing and lamenting that the child was very healthy and had no illnesses. Why was he abandoned?

In the past, he had also suspected that human traffickers had run out of options and abandoned the child. But a note had been found in his swaddling clothes…

After picking him up the mountain, the pilgrims had called the police. The police station didn’t have any reports of missing children. After a few fruitless searches, they had finally decided to send them to an orphanage before Master Pudu brought him to the monastery.

“Master, since you’ve looked for me so urgently, do you need my help?” Fu Chen asked silently.

Master Pudu’s expression was solemn. “Actually, I’ve been seeing that couple come to the monastery recently and ask my disciples if they saw an infant six years ago. A few days ago, they actually brought reporters there.

“Apparently, they went through the police system and found Huai Sheng. They said they’re his biological parents and want to acknowledge him.

“But this couple already has a son and daughter. Their son has leukemia, so they want to check if Huai Sheng is a match for him.”

Duan Linbai exploded. “F*ck, there’s actually such disgusting people? They were the ones who abandoned their children back then. It’s impossible for them to go back now.”

Master Pudu frowned. “I want to ask Third Master to help me check if what the couple said is true. They said that their child won’t live long.”

“Why didn’t they think of this when they threw their child away? Let me tell you. Karma is circular. If you do something wrong, you will be punished.” Duan Linbai snorted coldly.

“What do you think? Help them?” Fu Chen looked at Master Pudu. After all, he was Huai Sheng’s current guardian.

“It’s said that monks are merciful, but Huai Sheng is still young. I…” Master Pudu was not a saint, so it was difficult for him to treat all living beings as equal.

“I’ll get someone to investigate first.” Fu Chen knew that he was in a difficult position.

That family must have thought of looking for Huai Sheng because they were at their wit’s end. If Master Pudu and the others didn’t help that child, they wouldn’t be able to bear to watch him die. After all, the parents’ mistakes had nothing to do with the child.

“Sorry to trouble you.” Master Pudu stood up and bowed deeply to him.

Not long later, Huai Sheng came back with ice cream and jumped around.

“Master!” Huai Sheng rushed into Master Pudu’s arms. “Have a taste.”

“Master isn’t eating.”

“It’s very delicious. You can’t even eat it in the mountains. You haven’t eaten it before.” Huai Sheng brought the ice cream to his mouth before Master Pudu reluctantly licked it. “It’s delicious, right?”

Master Pudu nodded.

“When are we going back to the mountain?” Huai Sheng looked at him seriously.

Master Pudu reached out to touch his head. “It’s very busy on the mountain during the National Day holiday. No one will take care of you…”

He didn’t want Huai Sheng to meet the couple yet. It was safer to stay at Fu Chen’s place. Those people definitely wouldn’t be able to find him here.

“I don’t need anyone to take care of me.”

“There have been many pilgrims in the mountains recently, and many of them are from far away. They might stay in your room…”

“Then I’ll stay with you.”

Master Pudu was stunned for a moment. “What was your score on your last exam? Don’t you have make-up classes over the holidays? With your current results, you can’t even get into university. How are you going to be the abbot in the future?”

Huai Sheng lowered his head and didn’t say anything else. Mentioning his results was really too hurtful.

Master Pudu didn’t stay overnight and returned to the mountain.

***

Fu Chen checked the family’s information and found that it happened to be the child-seeking family he had seen when he watched the show with Song Fengwan last time. This family had said on TV that the child had been kidnapped.

This alone made Fu Chen a little angry.

He could understand why the couple said this. After all, abandoning a child was a serious crime, and they couldn’t afford it. But at a time like this, they were still spreading rumors on TV and asking people to donate. It was really disgusting.

“Third Master…” The person who followed Song Fengwan back to Nanjiang this time was Shi Fang. Qian Jiang had checked the information. “That child underwent an operation six years ago.”

He handed a document to Fu Chen.

“Once?”

“The bone marrow bank found a suitable donor, but it relapsed again,” Qian Jiang said bluntly.

People with leukemia received a bone marrow transplant and also needed chemotherapy in the later stages. It was suppressed by medication, but there was also a possibility of relapse.

“Once six years ago…” Fu Chen pinched the document and frowned. Huai Sheng was more than six years old this year. He quickly linked everything together.

“At that time, they did an interview with their local TV station, and there’s also video information.”

Fu Chen sneered. “Are these kinds of people even worthy of being parents?”

Qian Jiang replied coldly, “Not worthy!”

Fu Chen called Master Pudu and said that he didn’t support sending Huai Sheng back. When Master Pudu heard Fu Chen’s analysis, he was also silent…

***

Huai Sheng lived with Fu Chen, and Uncle Nian accompanied him to the tutoring center during the day, so everything was fine.

The turn of events happened on October 6th. Fu Chen and Duan Linbai had gone to the new district in the capital for an inspection and were scheduled to return at night. But Song Fengwan had returned to the capital in advance.

Song Fengwan had returned to Nanjiang for a few days. In order to avoid the peak return period and to see Fu Chen earlier, she had specially bought a plane ticket in advance.

“Third Master isn’t in the capital today. Are you sure you don’t want to tell him?” Shi Fang was dragging the luggage and walking forward.?To be honest, Old Madam Yan is too exaggerated. She brought a large box of specialties alone.

“He’ll be back tonight. Let’s go to the compound first.” Old Madam Yan had asked her to bring some things for the two Fu elders.

Song Fengwan went to the old Fu residence to accompany the two Fu elders for a while. Using the excuse of giving Fu Chen specialties, she entered Fu Chen’s residence openly.

When she arrived at Yunjin Prime Manor, it was evening.

“Woof—” When Fu Xinhan saw Song Fengwan, he rushed over, spun around in circles in front of her, and wagged his tail.

“Good boy!” Song Fengwan bent down and stroked his head.

Uncle Nian heard the commotion and walked out of the house. “Miss Song? Why are you here? Third Master isn’t home. I’ll call him…”

“No need. I know he’s not here. I’ll just wait for him here.” Song Fengwan had dragged her luggage and rushed to catch the plane, so she was travel-worn and wanted to tidy herself up before seeing Fu Chen again.

“Then come in quickly. It’s hot outside.” Uncle Nian smiled kindly.

“I brought you some specialties.” After Song Fengwan entered the house, she took out some coconut cake and dried fruits for Uncle Nian.

Uncle Nian declined repeatedly before accepting them.

“Last time, school just started, and I had too much luggage, so I couldn’t bring you a gift.” Song Fengwan smiled.

“You’re so considerate.” Uncle Nian was grinning from ear to ear. “Have a seat first. I’m going to the tutoring center to pick Huai Sheng up. I’ll be back in half an hour.”

Song Fengwan was surprised. “Huai Sheng didn’t return to the mountain?”

This little monk would happily run to the mountain even on weekends. How could he be willing to stay here during such a long holiday?

“He couldn’t improve his grades, so he had to stay for make-up classes.” Song Fengwan didn’t know the inside story, and Uncle Nian deliberately didn’t mention it.

“I’ll go with you. I haven’t seen him for a long time.”

“He will definitely be happy to see you.” Uncle Nian smiled.

***

Huai Sheng’s tutoring center was near Beijing Second High School, which Song Fengwan had once gone to, not far from Yunjin Prime Manor.

Song Fengwan even specially bought a cup of bubble tea and walked to the tutoring center with Uncle Nian.

When she passed by the atelier she had studied in, there was a student recruitment notice posted on the door. Song Fengwan sighed with emotion.?Time really flies.

“It’s just up ahead. Just take a turn, and we’ll be there.” Uncle Nian pointed at the intersection ahead.

“Okay.” Song Fengwan nodded.

When they turned the corner of the intersection, the words ‘Hope Education’ entered their sight. The most eye-catching thing was that the entrance was completely surrounded by people. There were even reporters carrying cameras blocking the entrance. The surroundings were full of parents and students watching.

The argument was very intense, and the sound of a child crying rang out.

Song Fengwan frowned. “What happened?”

Uncle Nian cursed in his heart. “Huai Sheng…”

While speaking, he rushed into the crowd.

Song Fengwan followed closely behind him. After running into the crowd, she saw Huai Sheng being protected by a woman and sobbing uncontrollably.

He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and his arms were covered in red marks.

“Huai Sheng?” Uncle Nian’s eyes instantly reddened. Huai Sheng had lived here for almost a year, and they saw each other every day. He was no different from his own grandson.

“Grandpa Nian—” Huai Sheng wailed as he threw himself into his arms. One of his shoes had fallen off, and he was stepping on the scorching ground barefoot. His knees were scraped.

Song Fengwan’s mind was a little confused.?What’s going on?

… Until a crazy-looking woman rushed out. “Son, I’m really your mother. I’m here to bring you home.”

“Madam, the child obviously doesn’t know you!” The woman protecting Huai Sheng was a teacher of the tutoring center. “How can you just rush in and grab the child?!”

“He is my son! I’m his biological mother. What’s wrong with me wanting to take him away?!”

Song Fengwan was stunned.?Huai Sheng’s mother?

She took a closer look and realized that this woman looked a little familiar. Coupled with the reporters and cameras behind her, she recalled the child-seeking program she had watched before.

Is she looking for Huai Sheng?
