Just as Zhou Chuan was inquiring about car rental, Xiao Ran waited for a long time but Zhou Chuan didn't show up. So he rushed to the health center. When he got to the ward where Zhou Chuan was, he found that Zhou Chuan was not there and his personal belongings were also gone from the table. He hurriedly ran out to inquire.

He made an inquiry and was shocked to learn that his aunt had already passed away. Unwilling to give up, he grabbed the nurse's collar and cried out, "Where's my aunt? Where did she go?"

Seeing the child's eyes filled with tears, Nurse Liu felt a pang of sympathy: "Don't cry. Comrade Zhou Chuan has gone back to her hometown. This isn't her home. She'll have to leave sooner or later."

Large tears slid down Lin Chuan's face. There was no one in the world who would ever be kind to him again. He paused for a few seconds, then a resolute look suddenly appeared on his face. He quickly wiped away his tears and ran away.

Nurse Liu was a little worried, so she ran out after the child, but she wasn't going to chase after him; she went in another direction.

Xiao Ran ran all the way back to his family compound. He didn't go straight to his own home, but went to another family's house. He stared at that family's house angrily for a while, then went into the yard, picked up some stones from the ground, and threw them at the family's window.

One after another, until several sharp cracks of glass shattering on the floor and shouts of cursing erupted from inside, Xiao Ran finally stopped. He turned and ran away, leaving behind the shouts of a middle-aged woman and threats to tell her parents...

But none of that mattered to Xiao Ran. He ran all the way home, and before he could catch his breath, he went upstairs to pack a few changes of clothes and carefully put the fifty yuan under his pillow into his pocket.

Then he went to the study on the first floor and filled a small bag with rice. He put half of the money in his pocket into the rice, and carefully put the rest back into his pocket. Finally, he took a basket from the kitchen and packed the clothes and the small bag of rice into it.

He carried the basket to the door, turned around and glanced at the home where he had lived for almost half a year, then closed the door without looking back. He stopped for a while by the well, his eyes filled with reluctance, but he still gritted his teeth and left. Once outside the courtyard, he carried the basket and ran all the way out of the military compound and out of the military region gate.

Upon hearing the news, Political Commissar Ma rushed anxiously towards the family compound. To be honest, he felt relieved when he learned that Comrade Zhou Chuan had left. That man's mouth was really too sharp; every time he made him feel like he was no longer human.

Especially yesterday, he didn't actually say anything, but he was insulted indirectly and sarcastically, called a piece of trash and a scumbag, which made him unable to sleep well last night.

He was finally busy today and had forgotten about yesterday's unpleasant events, but then this mess happened again. She left, which is good for everyone. Even if the division commander asks about it later, he will only get a scolding at worst.

Judging from what Nurse Liu said, Xiao Ran seemed to be acting very strangely. Anyone could be acting strangely, but Xiao Ran's child couldn't be. That was Xiao Ran's only son. If something happened to Xiao Ran, Bei Chen would probably have to draw his gun on him.

Thinking of this, Political Commissar Ma quickened his pace, hoping it was just a child's tantrum. He was anxiously hurrying towards the family compound when he happened to run into his wife who was coming out looking for him.

"Old Ma, Xiao Ran smashed all our windows! You need to come home and check."

"Did you see clearly? If you didn't see clearly, you can't wrongly accuse the child."

"I saw it clearly with both eyes, how could I be wrong? Even if I was wrong, Sister Fan next door saw it too, so are we all wrong? I think he's an ungrateful wretch. I've gone to so much trouble to take care of his sister, and not only is he ungrateful, he even smashed my window... I don't care, I don't care, I have to get his father to pay for it..."

"Alright, alright, what do you mean by 'ungrateful'? Bei Chen didn't make you work for nothing, didn't he give you money?"

"Isn't it only right to give money? It's just me. If it were anyone else, who would help take care of such a small child, changing his poop and pee? Take Sister Tian for example, would she help take care of such a small child? She only gives him food, and it's just cabbage and radishes. She doesn't even wash the child's clothes."

"According to you, Bei Chen saved my life, so shouldn't I pay him for saving my life? That's enough, you didn't lose out, why are you being so petty? And don't keep bringing up Sister Tian, ​​or she'll make things difficult for me!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore. But we definitely have to ask his father for compensation for our glass. If you're too shy to ask, I'll go ask him for it. I'm shameless anyway."

"We'll talk about this later. I need to go check on Bei Chen's family now. You go back first." Political Commissar Ma left with a frown, ignoring his wife. Sigh, kids are getting harder and harder to manage these days.

"Anyway, his father has to pay compensation!" Sister Zhu shouted at Political Commissar Ma's retreating figure before turning and walking home.

At this time, Political Commissar Ma, who had arrived at the Xiao family's house, searched upstairs and downstairs twice but could not find the child. He felt something was wrong, and his eyelids were twitching violently, making him panic. He tried his best to calm himself down and then rushed upstairs to check Xiao Ran's room, only to find that all the light clothing inside was missing.

He searched the child's room again, but found nothing; the child's single layer of clothing was gone. Upon this discovery, Political Commissar Ma panicked even more. He took a deep breath to calm himself and hurriedly went downstairs.

As soon as Political Commissar Ma hurriedly stepped out of the Xiao family's gate, he spotted Li Dazui peeking out from next door and casually asked, "Have you seen Xiao Ran?"

Li Dazui was stunned for a moment, not expecting Political Commissar Ma to talk to her. She was in a daze for a while, and when she saw that Political Commissar Ma's expression was not good, she quickly nodded.

Political Commissar Ma was about to leave when he saw Li Dazui nod. He was overjoyed, as if he had seen a savior, and immediately rushed to the fence, asking anxiously, "Where is he?"

Li Dazui was somewhat flattered: "I saw him go out carrying a basket. He must have gone to find chicken feed with Comrade Zhou?"

Commissar Ma grabbed Li Dazui's arm: "Did you really see him go out with a basket?" His heart was pounding. When he left yesterday, the woman surnamed Zhou was still there. Could it be that she said something and abducted the child?

Just as he thought about it, he realized something was wrong. If the other person had taken the child with them, then Xiao Ran shouldn't have gone to the clinic to look for them before... He felt like his head was about to explode, so he slapped his head hard to clear his head.

Seeing that Political Commissar Ma was acting strangely, Li Dazui didn't dare to speculate and obediently nodded, "I was just weeding when I saw the kid come running back like a whirlwind. He went inside for a little while, then ran off again with his basket. I guess Comrade Zhou was urging him..."

Before she could finish speaking, Political Commissar Ma took off running towards the main gate.

Watching Political Commissar Ma's frantic retreating figure, Li Dazui sensed something unusual, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Political Commissar Ma, who had just reached the entrance of the military region, hadn't even had time to catch his breath before calling the sentry over. Anxious and impatient, he didn't wait for the sentry to salute before asking directly, "Did you see a child carrying a basket go out just now?"

The sentry instinctively saluted: "Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing that Xiao Ran had indeed gone out, Political Commissar Ma frowned deeply, asking, "Did you see a skinny woman go out?"

The sentry scratched the back of his head, unsure how to answer. These days, everyone is thin. What exactly constitutes a skinny woman?

Political Commissar Ma, seeing that he didn't speak, paced anxiously in circles: "Did you see him or not? Say something!"

The sentry was also anxious after being scolded by his superior: "Sir, can't you just give me a name? I know all the people who just went out. Are you looking for someone skinny? Everyone here is skinny, I don't know who you're looking for?"

Political Commissar Ma's expression softened a bit: "You know that child bride? Sun Jun, the child bride of Battalion Commander Sun!"

The sentry nodded repeatedly: "I saw her, I saw her. She just went out a little while ago. She just waved to me. Are you looking for her, sir? I saw her head towards the next village."

When Political Commissar Ma heard that the person had gone to the next village, he breathed a sigh of relief. But before long, he remembered something and quickly asked, "Did she have any children with her?"

Without hesitation, the sentry shook his head: "No, it was just her alone. You were asking about Commander Xiao's child earlier, but I saw him head towards the town."

Political Commissar Ma stumbled and almost fell!
