Chapter 18: The Children Waiting to be Taken Away

  Li Shan Yu heard the news and asked us to go to the subway station immediately. As we walked out of the campus, I saw Bai Ying Yue Die in the dance hall looking at us, thinking of her child, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. Xiao Lu pulled me and said: "You're too sentimental, how can you face all kinds of situations like this?!" Li Shan Yu smiled kindly and said: "It's good to be like this, at least it shows she's human, with feelings!" Xiao Lu didn't say anything else, the three of us arrived at the subway station smoothly, Luding Road was still as desolate as ever, the construction site had been abandoned.

  I whispered: "Xiaoyuan? Are you there?" Xiaolu closed her eyes and muttered something softly, while Li Xiangyu shouted loudly: "Little ghost, come out quickly, sister is here to take you away!" Except for the voices of a few people around us, there was still no sign of Xiaoyuan. "You said he wasn't here? Why isn't he?" Li Xiangyu asked impatiently. I thought carefully and said: "Last time, he did follow me to Nagu Yun'er's house, but then disappeared in front of me. He should have come back here, right?"

  Little Green opened her eyes and smiled, saying: "I know where it is, follow me!" We followed Little Green, only to find that she had arrived at a subway stop. How could Xiao Yuan be here? Shouldn't he be in the afterlife? Just as I was puzzled, I saw Xiao Yuan sitting in a corner muttering: "When the next subway comes, Mom will definitely come down to pick me up!" The sound of "ding ding ding" rang out, the subway stopped, but no one got off. After a while, it left again.

  Li Shan Yu walked over to Xiao Yuan's side and sat down, asking: "You said your mom would come pick you up, but she didn't. What are you going to do?" But Xiao Yuan didn't seem as eerie and scary as before, instead he simply raised his head and said: "I couldn't see her, maybe my mom came looking for me and I just wandered off on my own. But it's okay, I can keep waiting!" Little Green sighed and said: "Kids are just too simple-minded!" I thought of the song that Yue Die taught me to play, I wonder if she regrets it now. If given another chance, would she still choose to give up everything just to stand on that dream stage?

  Li Shan Yu grabbed Xiao Yuan's hand and said, "Come with me, I'll take you to find your mom!" Xiao Yuan struggled free from Li Shan Yu's grasp and shouted, "No! Mom said so, we have to wait for her, don't go with strangers!" Xiao Yuan's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, but when his gaze fell on me, he surprisingly ran into my arms and said, "Sister, take me away!" I asked in confusion, "Why do you want me to take you away?" He looked up at me and said, "You have mom's scent on you." It dawned on me that I was the one who had been in contact with Yue Die the most, so I must have carried her aura with me, which is why he followed me like that last time.

  I patted his head and said, "That's good, but you have to listen to us, be obedient! Do you know?" "Uh-huh!" Xiao Yuan nodded, the blood color fading from his eyes, a pair of bright and shiny big eyes looking at me, really cute. I was amazed: "It turns out that this is such a lovely child." Xiaolu took Xiao Yuan's hand and said, "Just finding Xiao Yuan is not enough, we still have to deal with that plastic surgery hospital." Li Xiangyu walked over and looked around, saying, "Not only that, but we also need to solve the matter of Yue Die!" "Yue Die? How do you plan to solve it?" I asked. "Yue Die must die, otherwise her other half's soul cannot leave either." Hearing this, I felt a bit uncomfortable - why did solving some things require sacrificing people? Xiaolu seemed to see my dissatisfaction and said, "Ning Lie, you have to remember that every cause has an effect. Everyone has to bear the consequences of their own actions. No one should pay for her mistakes."

  When I was savoring the sentence, Yuan Nuo's voice sounded in my ear: "How did you guys come first?" Facing Yuan Nuo's sudden arrival, I blurted out: "The one who pushed me out of the subway last time, it was actually you?!" Yuan Nuo's expression became awkward and he said: "Little Xiao is getting smarter and smarter now, I just want to let you get my aunt's approval as soon as possible!" I cooled down my face and whispered: "Are you colluding with Nagu Yuer to bully me?!" After finishing speaking, I walked towards the exit. Xiaoyuan broke free from Xiaolü's hand and ran over to hold my hand, saying: "Sister, don't be angry, I won't deceive you!"

  Looking at this lovely child, I couldn't help but wonder why Yuedie was so heartless. I squatted down and asked softly: "If your mother really abandoned you and indirectly killed you, would you hate her?" Xiaoyuan looked at me with a cloudy expression, and indeed, asking such a question made him unable to answer. I stood up and smiled, saying: "Okay, Xiaoyuan, don't think about this anymore, let's go!" Behind me, Li Xiangyu's voice came: "Ning Hong, we'll meet directly at Jiake Plastic Surgery Hospital!" I waved my hand, indicating that I knew. But a feeling of increasing discomfort grew stronger - this Jiake Plastic Surgery Hospital, I always felt it wasn't that simple. As a result, before I even arrived at Jiake Plastic Surgery Hospital, I unexpectedly ran into Ye Zikuo, who hadn't been seen for days. He looked at Xiaoyuan beside me and asked: "This child?" Xiaoyuan hid behind me in fear, secretly observing Ye Zikuo.

  "Isn't he the one who almost killed my child last time?! Now I'm going to take him to Jiake Plastic Surgery Hospital, and you?" Ye Zikuo greeted Xiaoyuan and said: "Naguyun'er also asked me to go there once, let's go together!" As we walked with Ye Zikuo, I suddenly remembered that he had disappeared for a few days, so I asked: "Where did you go these past few days?" Ye Zikuo didn't answer directly, but instead asked: "I heard that last time you almost died at Jiake Plastic Surgery Hospital." I nodded gloomily, and Ye Zikuo just smiled and said: "Those things of yours weren't useful at all in that situation, were they?!" Being reminded by him, I suddenly remembered that last time I was in such a dangerous situation, but the ring and bracelet didn't react at all.

  "What's going on? If the law enforcement didn't work, then how did Li Xiangyu's Soul Bell come in handy?" I asked curiously. Ye Zikuo smiled and replied, "Many things, you have to think for yourself!" I pouted and whispered, "You're all so smart, only I'm the stupidest!" By the time I finished saying this, Jiake Plastic Surgery Hospital had appeared before my eyes. The two women wearing cheongsam dresses were still smiling with a thousand charms: "Welcome to Jiake Plastic Surgery Hospital, Miss Ning. You ran away too quickly last time, don't let us miss you again this time!"

  I shivered and said, "Last time was really embarrassing." Actually, I wanted to wait for Li Shan Yu and the others to arrive before going in, but Xiao Yuan suddenly ran in, and my brain heated up, forgetting the current situation, shouting Xiao Yuan as I went in. The moment I walked in, the door slammed shut behind me, and Xiao Yuan fearfully ran back into my arms, saying, "Just now, I clearly saw Mom's smiling face." I looked up towards the front, a nurse was walking towards me with a sharp blade in hand.
