After Qin Tianming hung up the phone, he returned to the bedroom to take care of Xu Jingya.

As for Qin Mingze, after hanging up the phone, he naturally went home.

After he dealt with a few more urgent documents, he handed the rest of the less important ones to his assistant.

"Go back to the villa."

Qin Mingze got in the car, said something to the driver, and then started using his cell phone to ask the detective how the matter was going.

Wang Kun has not made any progress yet.

He first went to several cities closest to Beijing and inquired at the household registration department of the local police station.

At the end of July, no 16-year-old girl had come to handle any household registration or name change.

So he began to travel to provinces closer to Beijing.

Qin Mingze had contacted him before, but unfortunately, he was on a plane at that time.

The phone was turned off, so I didn't receive the call.

"Mr. Qin, please rest assured. I will continue to investigate this matter."

After Wang Kun reported the recent whereabouts and progress, he made assurances one after another.

In fact, he was very interested in this matter.

He is very interested in solving cases, otherwise he would not have become a policeman.

If that incident had not happened that year, he would not have left the career he loved.

Even though he left the police station, his passion and persistence in solving cases did not diminish at all.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have opened a detective shop.

In fact, he had taken on the case of Qin Duoyu running away from home before.

But he recovered most of them.

But this was the first time he had seen a kid like Qin Duoyu who would do such extreme things.

His intuition told him that someone was helping Qin Duoyu.

He just couldn't guess what the man's ultimate purpose was in helping Qin Duoyu leave the Qin family?

This is what interests him most.

"Mr. Qin, I am currently in the neighboring province, I..."

squeak....

Suddenly, the driver slammed on the brakes, causing Qin Mingze, who was sitting in the back seat, to lose his balance and fall forward, and the phone in his hand fell onto the car mat.

"Mr. Qin? Mr. Qin?"

The sound of sudden braking was transmitted to Wang Kun's ears through the mobile phone, and he called Qin Mingze anxiously.

"I'm fine. I have something to take care of here, we can talk later."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Mingze opened the car door and got out.

The driver had already gotten off the car to check the situation.

"what happened?"

"Boss Qin, I don't know either. I was driving just fine, and the man was fine, but who knew he suddenly fell down."

Qin Mingze looked at the young man lying on the ground. He was as thin as a piece of paper, his face as pale as snow, sweat on his forehead, and his hands were tightly covering his heart.

"Send to hospital."

Qin Mingze was not afraid that the boy would blackmail him.

After all, dashcams are not just for show.

The reason why he kindly sent the boy to the hospital was, on the one hand, because he found that the boy was really in pain, and on the other hand, he didn't want to return to the villa too early and face Xu Jingya.

The driver carried the boy into the car and rushed to the hospital.

The boy was sent to the hospital and the doctor began to give him first aid.

Fortunately, Qin Mingze sent the man to the hospital without any hesitation. If it was a little later, the boy would have been beyond help.

After rescue, the boy was sent to the ward.

"This young man has heart problems. After examination..."

The doctor mistakenly thought Qin Mingze was the boy's relative and told him about the boy's condition.

"Doctor, I understand."

Qin Mingze nodded, then came to the ward and looked at the pale boy.

---You said that all crows in the world are black, and there are a lot of shameless toads on the ground. You said that even the whitest silver has to be stained with dust, and who doesn't feel guilty?

The cell phone rang, but Qin Mingze didn't answer it at first.

But who would have thought that the phone would ring several times in a row, and finally, Qin Mingze took the phone out of the boy's pocket.

The caller ID on my cell phone showed it was my sister.

"Hey."

"You're not Xiaodong? Who are you?"

A very soft but pleasant voice came from the other side.

"The Xiaodong you are talking about is a teenager of about 16 or 17 years old. He fainted on the road and I sent him to the hospital."

"He is currently in Ward 401 of the Central Hospital."

"Oh, ok, thank you, I'll be right there."

The person on the other end of the phone was startled at first, then quickly thanked me and said he would be there soon.

After Qin Mingze hung up the phone, the boy happened to wake up.

He first looked around in confusion, then his nose was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and he realized that he had been sent to the hospital by kind people.

He turned his head slightly and saw Qin Mingze who was about to leave.

"Big brother, did you save me?"

Qin Mingze, who was about to put down his phone and leave, didn't expect the boy to wake up so soon.

"it's me."

"Thank you, big brother."

The young man smiled, but because his face was too pale, his grateful smile sounded a little weak.

"You are welcome."

Qin Mingze waved his hand. This was just a piece of cake for him.

If you encounter such a thing on the road, an ordinary person may be afraid of being blackmailed, but he is not afraid because of his identity and status, so he will help others without hesitation.

Apart from this, when he looked at the thin and frail young man in front of him, he thought of Qin Duoyu.

He thought that if he helped this strange boy, would there be strangers who would be kind enough to lend a helping hand to his sister when she encountered difficulties?

The young man's eyes were clear. He looked at Qin Mingze with gratitude and said that he could give him whatever money he had spent.

Qin Mingze thought for a moment and said:

"It's five hundred in total."

"However, this money has not yet gone through the medical insurance process. If it had gone through medical insurance, it might have been less."

When the boy first heard the price of more than two thousand yuan, his face looked a little embarrassed.

After all, because he was sick and needed expensive medicine, he didn't have a lot of money on him, only a hundred yuan.

And he saved up this hundred dollars for a long time.

Today is his mother's birthday and he wants to use the money to buy her a cake.

But his mother usually doesn't let him go out, for fear that something bad might happen to him.

So, he sneaked out while his mother was out working.

He thought he would go home soon and his mother wouldn't find out, so he didn't even bring his usual medicine.

But on the way to the cake shop, he was so anxious that his heart couldn't take it anymore and he suddenly fainted in front of Qin Mingze's car.

If he hadn't met this kind-hearted older brother, he might have died because of being ignored.

"Brother, I don't have that much money."

He calculated that even if he had medical insurance, he would still need to pay Qin Mingze more than a thousand yuan.

And he only had a hundred dollars.

"It's okay. You should take good care of yourself. Your family just called, and I believe they are rushing to the hospital."

"I go first."

Qin Mingze saw that the boy was fine and prepared to leave.

As for the more than 2000 yuan, he did not urge him to pay it back.

But who would have thought that as soon as he turned around, the door of the ward was opened.

A man ran in breathlessly from outside the door.

"Xiaodong, how are you?"

The girl came up to the boy, looked him up and down for a long time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You were staying at home, why did you suddenly go out?"

The boy knew he was in the wrong, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the girl's face.

"say."

"Sister, today is Mom's birthday. I want to buy her a cake."

When the girl heard this, she was obviously stunned, and then looked at the boy with a complicated expression.

"You can tell me and I'll buy it back."

The boy didn't say anything, but lowered his head guiltily.

Because of his illness, the already poor family was even worse off.

How could he have the nerve to say this to his sister?

The girl looked at the boy with his head down and couldn't help but reach out and touch his head, as if to comfort him.

At this time, the girl remembered the person who helped the boy.

She quickly turned around and found that she and her brother were the only ones left in the ward.

"Xiaodong, wait a moment. I'll go thank the people who helped you."

As the girl spoke, she ran out of the ward and just saw Qin Mingze waiting for the elevator.

"Mr. Qin."

Qin Mingze turned around and saw the girl running towards him.

"It's you."

Qin Mingze didn't expect to meet Meng Xue.

In fact, when Meng Xue rushed into the ward just now, he didn't look carefully. He just thought that the boy's family had arrived and he could leave.

But who would have thought that the person coming was Meng Xue.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin."

"You helped me last time, and you helped my brother this time. Thank you so much."

"I didn't think he could be your brother."

Qin Mingze was also surprised.

The young man he helped turned out to be Meng Xue's younger brother.

He still has a good impression of Meng Xue.

After all, it was Meng Xue who sent him to the hotel because he was drunk.

And for a man of his status, many women would take advantage of him being drunk to have something happen to him?

Even if nothing happened, I would still rely on him.

But Meng Xue didn't.

At the beginning, he asked someone to investigate the hotel’s surveillance.

The surveillance footage showed that after Meng Xue helped him to the hotel, she asked a male waiter to help him change his clothes. She then stayed on the sofa in the hotel lobby for the whole night until she went out in the morning to retrieve his clothes and the breakfast she had bought.

From beginning to end, Meng Xue behaved well and did not have any inappropriate thoughts.

It is precisely because of this that Qin Mingze has a good impression of her.

In addition, after several contacts later, although he did not show it on the surface, he had a little affection for this strong and kind girl.

"Mr. Qin, are you leaving?"

"Yeah. I have something else to do."

"Mr. Qin, how much is my brother's medical expenses in total? I'll transfer it to you."

Qin Mingze knew that Meng Xue's family conditions must be very poor.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have worked so many jobs while in school.

The 2000 yuan is nothing to him, but to Meng Xue, it may be the salary she earned from working several jobs.

"We'll talk about the money later. Go back and take care of your brother."

Qin Mingze looked at the open elevator door and said goodbye with a smile.

Meng Xue looked at Qin Mingze with gratitude as he walked into the elevator, and at the moment the elevator was about to close, she bowed deeply to express her gratitude.

Although Qin Mingze didn't say anything, he was still very satisfied with Meng Xue's gratitude.

After all, no one wants to help an ungrateful person, right?

Qin Mingze left and Meng Xue returned to the ward.

After watching Meng Dong finish the injection, the siblings left the hospital and returned home.

At this moment, Zhang Chunhua, the mother of Meng Xue and her brother, was wearing an old long-sleeved shirt on her upper body, a pair of black pants that were a little pale from washing, and a pair of old sneakers on her feet.

Her hair is very short and her facial features are very ordinary, but the scars on her face silently tell us what she has experienced.

She was wiping the table with a rag with an expressionless face. There were some broken wine bottles and peanut shells on the floor.

The whole house was in a mess, as if it had been robbed.

"mom."

As soon as Meng Dong saw the situation at home, he knew that those people had come to collect debts.

Seeing that there was no money, he came and smashed things.

And this has become commonplace for him.

Zhang Chunhua glanced at Meng Dong. Her voice was a little hoarse, but the worry in her eyes was real.

"Luckily, you're not at home today."

Meng Dong did not go to school due to health reasons and he stayed at home.

If it wasn't Zhang Chunhua's birthday today, he wouldn't have sneaked out to give his mother a surprise.

When he thought about how he had been blocked at home by debt collectors and watched his mother being beaten, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

But as a son, he could do nothing.

"Mom. Are you still in pain?"

Meng Dong's eyes turned red as he looked at the wound on Zhang Chunhua's face.

"Are you hungry?"

Zhang Chunhua did not answer.

She is in pain, but what's the point of telling her?

Not only will no one help her, but her son will also fall into self-blame.

"Mom left some food for you."

As Zhang Chunhua spoke, she turned and went to the kitchen, and took out a worn-out thermos from under the sink.

She left this place alone for Meng Dong.

Fortunately, she put it in the corner under the sink, otherwise, the food would not be preserved.

Zhang Chunhua poured the beef noodles into a bowl, brought it out and placed it in front of Meng Dong.

"eat fast."

Meng Dong looked at the bowl of beef noodles which was already a bit lumpy, and his eyes became even redder.

"Mom, I'm not hungry, you eat."

Meng Dong pushed the beef noodles in front of Zhang Chunhua.

Today is her birthday, and she wants to eat longevity noodles on her birthday.

So, this bowl of noodles should be eaten by Zhang Chunhua.

"Mom has eaten."

Zhang Chunhua looked at Meng Dong lovingly and pushed the noodles in front of him.

Meng Dong lowered his head, tears falling down his face.

He always felt that he was a burden.

"Mom, today is your birthday. I bought you a cake."

Meng Xue felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Zhang Chunhua, who had always cared about Meng Dong.

She took the initiative to put the cake on the table and looked at Zhang Chunhua tenderly.

Zhang Chunhua didn't even look at the cake and Meng Xue, but stood up and said:

"Xiaodong, eat obediently. Mom has to go to work."

Zhang Chunhua said this and stood up and left without even looking at Meng Xue, as if Meng Xue didn't exist.

"Mom, happy birthday."

Meng Xue looked at Zhang Chunhua who ignored her and couldn't help but speak out.

Zhang Chunhua acted as if she didn't hear anything. She picked up a cloth bag, opened the door, and left without looking back.
