Moonlight falls into my arms

On the other side, in the boundless darkness of the room, only faint breathing could be heard, sometimes deep, sometimes shallow.

Hearing the neighbor say they were going to sleep, but then, wanting to get first place in the grade and get back at their deskmate, they started muttering to themselves while doing math problems.

He was even cursing while writing.

Jiang Yuci couldn't help but laugh, but as before, his voice didn't carry out because his face was covered with tape.

This was the first time he had smiled and looked forward to tomorrow since he arrived here.

"I really slept this time." Ruan Li went to bed satisfied as she flipped through the new lesson she had prepared.

After Yuan Fang finished making a phone call to Ruan Qibo in the kitchen, she also pushed open Ruan Li's door and glanced at her.

It's still too dangerous.

Yuan Fang touched Ruan Li's face.

She couldn't put her daughter in danger as well.

It's okay not to be a good person.

Yuan Fang tucked the blanket around Ruan Li and then closed the door.

......

The next morning, the first thing Ruan Li did after getting up was to run to Yuan Fang's room to ask about the police report.

Upon arriving at the room, Ruan Li saw her mother still asleep on the bed and cautiously approached her.

Never mind, let's not wake Mom up.

Ruan Li picked up her phone, which was charging on the bedside table, unlocked it, and opened it to take a look.

Open the call log.

It was discovered that Yuan Fang's only phone call yesterday was to her father in the evening.

There was no police report at all!

Ruan Li took her phone and ran to hide in the kitchen.

I called the police.

After the little girl clearly explained the situation next door and gave the police her address, she...

He then secretly ran back to Yuan Fang's room with the phone and returned it.

Then I took the bus to school.

Jiang Yuci woke up from a nap, not knowing what time it was, or whether the people next door were sleeping or had gone to school.

He heard someone knocking on the door again.

The man lay on the bed and impatiently pulled back the covers.

They won't let people sleep in the early morning.

Yuan Fang smiled as she looked at the person who opened the door.

"Hello."

Yuan Fang was carrying fruit in her hand.

The man glanced at it and accepted it.

"These pears are fresh from the first purchase. I heard your child coughing yesterday; eating some pears is good for the throat."

The man's eyes widened in surprise; he had also gone to bed early the previous night.

I don't know if that child had a cough.

But when he met Yuan Fang's gaze, he calmly said, "I do have a cold, thank you."

Yuan Fang watched him go inside and close the door.

His face grew even more serious.

She woke up in the morning and checked her phone.

I knew exactly what that girl had done with my phone.

She hadn't planned to get involved in the matter, but now Ruan Li has called the police.

She had no choice but to intervene.

There was no coughing at all last night; she said that on purpose.

If this man doesn't have children, he would normally just say so directly; why hide it?

If you really have a child, how could you not know whether your child has a cough or not?

This man looks suspicious; it's almost certain that someone inside has been kidnapped by him.

Yuan Fang went back to her room, locked the door, and then ran to the kitchen to make a phone call to the police station.

"Hello, thank you for the information. We have sent a special police officer who will pose as your husband to your home. Please cooperate with us."

Yuan Fang frowned: "But my husband is coming back tomorrow. How long will he stay?"

“The person on the other side is quite difficult to deal with, and he has mental issues. He can’t be stimulated. There are no surveillance cameras in the old neighborhood. Fortunately, your daughter found out and called us so we could find out. The child he kidnapped is very important and cannot be hurt. It may take some time. Please talk to your husband and ask him not to go back for the time being.”

Yuan Fang: "But it's dangerous for my daughter to be at home. What will we do if she's discovered?"

"Okay, once our people have figured out the situation on the other side, we'll say it's your birthday. We'll arrange for the police to go to your house as relatives, and we'll definitely be able to rescue the person while ensuring your safety."

Yuan Fang then nodded.

The man next door goes out and comes back at different times every day, so it's probably hard to figure out exactly when.

Yuan Fang went out to buy groceries carrying a bag.

On the way back, I happened to run into that man going out.

She smiled and said hello.

The other person responded indifferently, and today he was wearing sunglasses again, looking rather unkempt with a stubble beard.

I bumped into someone.

Yuan Fang looked back and was stunned. She then realized that the person the trafficker had bumped into was the same person in the photo the police had sent her.

She quickly stepped forward, "You're back from your business trip? Why didn't you call to let me know? I should have bought more groceries."

Yuan Fang put her arm around the person's arm, ignoring the look in the eyes of the man in sunglasses next to her.

"Yeah, I'm back early."

The police followed Yuan Fang back to the house. The way he bumped into the man was to test him.

My hand roamed over his body, making sure he didn't have any guns, knives, or other similar tools on him.

Report to the team immediately.

In the afternoon, after Ruan Li finished school, Yuan Fang and the policeman agreed to go pick Ruan Li up together.

This way, I can explain things to Ruan Li on the way.

......

Jiang Yuci heard the door open and then close.

He felt dizzy and his head was about to explode. His mouth was extremely dry, and his body felt both cold and hot.

I always feel like I'm going to die.

A day feels so long, and he longs to hear the sound of students reading aloud from next door.

But there was nothing.

He could only grit his teeth and wait for her to come back.

She said it last night.

I'll come back after school in the afternoon.

After school...

Jiang Yu kept repeating those two words in his mind.

He lost consciousness and passed out.

......

on the way.

When Ruan Li saw her 'fake father' and realized he was a policeman who wanted to come home with her to rescue people, she even used her pocket money to buy him candied hawthorns on the way.

As I passed by the closed door next door.

Ruan Li and Yuan Fang both glanced at it.

The police officers stood guard behind them, saying, "Go home."

As soon as the three entered the room, Ruan Li pulled the policeman to the kitchen to talk discreetly.

"Officer, is there really someone over there? Has he been kidnapped? Will he die?"

“There are people there, but don’t tell anyone. Although there’s only one person guarding the neighbor’s side, they have a lot of people behind them. If we act rashly and rescue this one, there’ll be another one on the other side…”

Yuan Fang stood at the kitchen door, unaware that there was another reason why the police hadn't taken action yet.

"Then, what about the child's parents...?"

"Both children are from the same family. They were probably tied up separately to prevent us from finding them and rescuing them both."

Ruan Li frowned: "Where is the other one?"

"The other one hasn't been found yet, so we can't move this side."

Otherwise, things over there would be dangerous.

Ruan Li's little face scrunched up. "But that person was so fierce, he must have been scared too..."

The police did not disclose the identities or backgrounds of the two children.
