Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

"Captain Feng!"

Shao Junyue shouted loudly, "You, as a judicial officer, shouldn't knowingly commit crimes without evidence. If you dare to talk nonsense, I can sue you for defamation."

“My husband is right. You have no evidence. What makes you say my child is missing?”

Chen Siqiao was panicking inside, but she had to pretend to be calm and say:

“My family member from Lin Shen was taken back to the countryside by his maternal grandmother a while ago, so you naturally can’t see him. Those foul-mouthed people in the neighborhood like to talk nonsense, so don’t take their words seriously just because you heard a few idle words.”

"Since it's all a misunderstanding, please make a video call now. We'll leave as soon as we see the child."

Without further ado, Captain Feng urged the couple to make a video call.

In fact, when Captain Feng and his team arrived, they had already conducted an investigation and found that the Chen family had never received the child.

The surveillance footage from the residential complex showed that the last time the child was seen was when Shao Junyue chased him downstairs.

In the surveillance footage, the child looked terrified, constantly glancing behind him, and stumbled several times while running. Then Shao Junyue appeared, his fists clenched, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace. Based on Captain Feng's years of experience handling cases, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say this guy was intent on murder.

Unfortunately, the security cameras downstairs in the apartment complex malfunctioned at some point, so the footage from those few days couldn't be displayed.

"I... I forgot where I put my phone."

Pressed relentlessly, Chen Siqiao could only pat her pockets and deliberately stall for time.

Captain Feng simply took out his phone, handed it to her, and said, "I happen to have Ms. Zhang's phone number saved here. You can call her directly."

Upon hearing this, Shao Junyue's expression immediately turned ugly, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him from head to toe, his face becoming extremely gloomy.

Chen Siqiao hadn't thought about it deeply, and after stammering for a long time, she still refused to answer the phone. Captain Feng, with a stern face, said coldly:

"Ms. Chen, we have something to do later, so please hurry."

“No, I, I…”

Chen Siqiao was forced into a cold sweat, her eyes darting around in a panic, unsure of where to look. Just as she was about to speak in a defense, her husband blocked her from behind.

"No need, I lost the child, this has nothing to do with my wife, I'll go back with you."

"Honey! What nonsense are you talking about?"

Chen Siqiao's face paled, and she quickly grabbed his sleeve, waving to Captain Feng and the others:

"No, no, that kid ran away and got lost. It has nothing to do with my husband. At most, we..."

"That's enough, Siqiao, stop talking."

Shao Junyue interrupted her, glanced at the police officers standing around the couple, and said in a hoarse voice, "Since they came to our home, it means that the evidence is basically conclusive."

As he said this, he suddenly hugged his wife and whispered in her ear:

“Our daughter is still young and needs someone to take care of her. You’re pushing the blame onto me. The crime of abandonment will only get you 3 to 10 years in prison at most. I’ll try to behave well so I can get out and reunite with you as soon as possible.”

"husband--"

Chen Siqiao cried uncontrollably, holding onto the other person's hand and refusing to let go.

The couple, holding their child, got into a police car and were escorted to the police station...

Why did you let Ms. Li Fei rent a room across the street three months ago?

"You said your child was lost, so why didn't you call the police for help?"

"According to the information provided by Ms. Li Fei, you previously wanted her to take the child to live abroad?"

Inside the interrogation room, an investigator bombarded the room with questions, while his colleague meticulously took notes.

Shao Junyue slumped back in his chair, looking utterly dejected, shaking his head repeatedly as he explained:

“I admit that I wanted to send my son to live abroad before, but that was for his own good, so that he could receive better treatment.”

As for what Assistant Li mentioned about renting a house, I really know nothing about it.

At this point, Shao Junyue looked up at the investigators opposite him and said sincerely:

“Officer, as a father, I admit that I have not fulfilled my responsibilities, but I really did not abandon my child on purpose.”

The investigator frowned and interrupted, "Then why didn't you call the police?"

"I……"

Shao Junyue was speechless for a long time before honestly saying, "That kid has a bad temper. I just wanted to leave him outside for a while to scare him and teach him a lesson."

Later, as things got busier, the Shao couple forgot they had a four-year-old son.

Seeing the investigators looking at him like he was a bug, Shao Junyue awkwardly turned his face away, forcing himself to save face, and said:

“He didn’t grow up around us since he was born. We’ve spent less than three days together in total. So… you can’t blame it all on me.”

"If I don't blame you, who should I blame?"

The investigators on the other end couldn't help but speak up, "If you give birth to a child but don't raise him, why bring him into this world to suffer? And you, as the child's biological father and mother, don't treat the child well and just keep making excuses. You are simply unworthy of being human."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Another investigator coughed desperately, finally silencing his colleague. He quickly pulled the man up and nodded to Shao Junyue, saying:

"We have already understood the specifics of this matter. If there is anything else that needs further investigation, please cooperate with us."

After saying that, the two left the interrogation room at the same time.

……

Although the police have launched an investigation, there is still no news about the missing son of the Shao family.

Team leader Feng and his team checked all the surveillance footage in the surrounding area, but they couldn't find any footage of the child leaving the community. It was as if the child had vanished into thin air.

If there were evidence to prove that the Shao couple committed murder and hid the body, the police would have suspected it was a homicide.

However, Shao Junyue was convicted of abandonment and sentenced to ten years in prison. Since he took all the blame upon himself, and he also had a daughter less than a year old at home, Chen Siqiao escaped unscathed.

Inside the visiting room, Chen Siqiao was sobbing uncontrollably, while Shao Junyue held her hand and kept comforting her.

"Don't cry, be good. You can raise our daughter well while you're away. It's only ten years. I'll be able to leave soon."

He forced a smile, gripped the phone receiver tightly, and whispered to his wife:

"It's just that you'll have to help sweep my parents' graves by yourself every year during Qingming Festival. There are wild grasses everywhere on the mountains in our hometown, so please remember to help me clear the weeds off their graves."

At this point, Shao Junyue's expression became extremely serious, and he gripped Chen Siqiao's hand even tighter.

At first, Chen Siqiao just kept nodding and crying for a while. Suddenly, she remembered what her husband had said about the batch of jewelry and cash. She paused for a moment and finally realized what was going on.

She looked up at her husband, and seeing him nod, she immediately wiped away her tears and solemnly said:

"Honey, don't worry, I'll take good care of Mom and Dad's graves. When our daughter is a little older, I'll bring her to see you. I'll tell her that her father is the best father in the world."

As Shao Junyue listened, his eyes reddened, and he couldn't help but turn his head away and wipe his eyes with his sleeve.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Meanwhile, the Liu couple were holding a New Year's banquet for their child at home.

Some time ago, the police found no clues about the child's parents through DNA comparison. After further investigation of the Liu couple, they agreed to let them adopt the child.

Upon hearing the news, the couple burst into tears of joy, hugging and kissing their child repeatedly.

When registering their child's birth, they almost wore out the dictionary before finally deciding on the name "Linchen," meaning confidence and well-being.

"Liu Linchen, what a lovely name."

Shao Linshen—no, now it's Liu Linchen—happily embraced the couple, laughing incessantly. His eyes were narrowed with bliss as he said:

"That's great, from now on I'm Mom and Dad's child."

Seeing how happy he was, the Liu couple felt incredibly sweet inside. They flanked the child on either side, constantly adding food to his bowl.

As night deepened, all was quiet except for the moonlight shining silently through the window.

Zhang Honghua sat by the bed, patting the child's back and humming a country tune. When the child was fast asleep, she leaned down and kissed his little face. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a murmur.

"Mother--"

“Yes, Mommy’s here, baby!” Zhang Honghua replied softly.

"Why...why did it take you so long to arrive? I've been looking for you...for so long..."

Inside the children's room, the child's innocent voice could be heard intermittently; only by listening closely could one hear even a faint trace.

Zhang Honghua's eyes reddened, she touched the child's head, and whispered a promise:

"Mom and Dad will never leave again, and will stay with you forever."

"Um--"
