Ch 303: The Self-Cultivation of a True Daughter 2
The police responded very quickly, even sending a female police officer specifically, who gently held Lin Lang in her arms. Considering that the weather was a bit cold, the female police officer even took off her scarf and wrapped it around Lin Lang’s neck.
The female police officer spoke very gently, afraid of scaring Lin Lang, “Little friend, where are your mom and Dad?”
Lin Lang looked up and blinked her innocent, big eyes, “I don’t have a mom and Dad. My mom and Dad don’t want me anymore.”
“Ah?” The female police officer thought it was just a child being stubborn, “Oh dear, your mom and Dad don’t not want you. They probably just got lost by accident, so they couldn’t find you. Do you remember your mom and Dad’s names? Maybe we can find your mom and Dad through their names.”
“I don’t know their names, because…” Lin Lang vigorously picked at her hands, pretending to be very conflicted, “I’m not my mom and Dad’s biological child. I’m… I was kidnapped by them… I secretly heard them say before that I’m not their child, and that their child is enjoying a good life in a good family. I’m just a substitute.”
“Pretty Auntie, Dad got drunk before, and then he showed off everywhere, saying that they were lucky to have switched the children, otherwise their child wouldn’t be able to live the life of a rich family’s Eldest Young Lady. What does it mean to switch children? I only know that I’m not my mom and Dad’s child, but I don’t understand what he means by saying that…”
Even if the female police officer was slow to understand, she understood what this child meant by saying this. Her face changed again and again, “Are you sure you didn’t hear wrong?”
Children don’t lie, especially children as young as that. Being able to clearly narrate this matter is already amazing, so this matter is probably true.
“I… I didn’t lie, everything I said is true. They think I took his daughter’s place. They originally wanted to kill me, but they were afraid of committing murder, so they threw me away…” Lin Lang’s eyes turned red as she spoke, “I know where they live. I can tell you the address. If you don’t believe me, you can go to their house and see. If they haven’t looked for me, then that means they sincerely wanted to throw me away.”
The foster parents really didn’t plan to look for the child. After they threw the child into the amusement park, they happily went home, and they also had an explanation to the outside world. Because they had to go to work, they couldn’t take care of the child, so they sent the child to their hometown in the countryside.
After a few more years, when others asked about this child again, they would tell outsiders that the child was playing in the water in the countryside, and then accidentally fell into the pond and drowned. Even if other people thought there was a problem, but their hometown was so far away, no one would bother to run to their hometown to ask.
In fact, the couple did plan to kill the child, or sell the child to human traffickers, but both of these things were risky. If they killed the child, it would be easily seen by others, but if they sold the child to human traffickers, what if the human traffickers were caught by the police in one fell swoop? Then they would still have to go to jail.
After thinking about it, throwing the child away was the most cost-effective.
Although the police believed that the child was telling the truth, all of this that happened was too fantastical, just like the plot in a TV series.
The police could only do as Lin Lang said, first sending two colleagues to Lin Lang’s parents’ house, and then collecting blood samples. If there really wasn’t any problem, then that meant the child had watched too much TV. If the two sides didn’t have a parent-child relationship, then that meant those parents really deliberately abandoned the child and abducted the child.
That night, the foster parents were sleeping soundly, when they heard a knock on the door. The foster mother rubbed her eyes impatiently, muttering as she went to open the door.
She didn’t understand who was coming to the door in the middle of the night, with no sense of boundaries at all, but when she opened the door, her heart almost jumped out, because standing outside the door were two police officers.
“Hello, we are the police. We need your help with something. Where is your daughter?” The police officer smiled insincerely, preparing to give these two people one last chance. If these two people said that the child was lost, then they didn’t deliberately abandon the child, but if they made another excuse… Hehe…
The foster mother said without thinking, “We… we sent the child to the countryside.”
◈◈◈
The police didn’t want to say anything more, “Then please cooperate and get dressed and come with us to the police station. A child claims to be your child, and that you abandoned her.”
The foster mother’s face changed instantly, and she bit her teeth hard, feeling a bit dark. She shouldn’t have thrown this dead child further away, preferably into the mountains, so that the child’s life or death would be up to the child herself, and it would have nothing to do with them.
The foster mother felt extremely ashamed, being taken away by the police in the middle of the night, and being seen by the neighbors. It was estimated that there would be a lot of gossip.
After getting into the police car, the foster mother took a deep breath, “Police officer, I’m really sorry, we’ve caused you trouble. It’s probably that our child didn’t want to go back to the countryside and secretly ran away from her hometown.”
“This child is really something, not knowing how to share the burden for her parents. My husband and I are tight on money right now, and we’re also busy with work, so we really don’t have time to take care of the child. We just wanted to send him to the countryside, and then bring the child back after we’ve earned enough money…”
“This child must be thinking wildly, thinking that we abandoned him, so she ran to the police station to report it. Oh dear, I’m really sorry, we’ve caused you police trouble. I will definitely give the child psychological counseling when I get back.”
If it weren’t because the female police officer knew the whole story, she would probably believe what this woman said, but because she knew that this woman wasn’t the little girl’s biological parents, she felt that this woman’s acting was even more amazing.
After arriving at the police station, before the foster mother could say anything, she was taken to another small room by the police, and then a special doctor and nurse came to collect blood.
“Aren’t we here to pick up the child? Why are you collecting blood?” Not only was the foster mother having her blood drawn, but even the foster father was having his blood drawn. Both sides looked confused, completely unaware of what was happening.
The police station’s efficiency was quite fast, and the results came out quickly. There was no parent-child relationship between the two sides. From this, it could be seen that what the little girl said was true. This was a case of deliberate abandonment and child abduction.
While the foster parents were still looking confused, they were directly taken down by the police and held in separate custody.
“What are you doing?” The foster father became angry all of a sudden, “Although we really didn’t take good care of the child, it’s not enough to be detained, right?”
“Heh, deliberately abandoning a child, plus abducting a child, you two better confess honestly, otherwise…” The police sneered twice, and then took them into the detention room with a tough attitude.
The foster mother’s cold sweat dripped down all of a sudden, and the foster father was also shocked. What did this mean?
The police didn’t beat around the bush with them, “The blood was just drawn to do a parentage test. It was discovered that you are not the child’s biological parents. Tell me, when did you switch the biological children, and who did you switch them with?”
The foster father naturally refused to admit it, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Also, what’s the situation with the child? Isn’t this child my biological child? No wonder I said I look less and less like him. Am I being cuckolded?”
