“Comrade police, was it Sun Caizhen who reported the case? Is she there? Could you please let her take the call?” An Bu said to the police on the phone.
“What’s the matter? Please come to the police station to discuss it.” The police did not agree to An Bu’s request.
“It’s an important matter. I hope you can let Sun Caizhen take the call. If you’re worried, you can put it on speaker or record it,” An Bu insisted firmly.
There was silence from the police for a while, as if they were seeking Sun Caizhen’s opinion. After a while, a voice with an unpleasant tone came from the phone, “I’m Sun Caizhen. What do you want to say? Do you want to apologize to me for taking the child away without permission?”
“When you left the child alone at the door, did you ever think that she might be in danger?” An Bu didn’t give her a chance to talk nonsense and directly said, “I will complain to the domestic service company about your negligence, and I won’t let you get close to Molly again.”
“What gives you the right? I took good care of Molly, never hitting or scolding her. It’s you who will be in trouble if something happens to Molly in your care. I will definitely sue you.” Sun Caizhen’s mouth emitted a mocking cold laugh.
“How are you so sure that Molly will definitely have trouble in my care?”
“I certainly know. I’ve taken care of Molly for over a year, and I’m well aware of her daily habits and diet.”
An Bu vaguely caught some information and calmly asked, “Is there anything specific about Molly’s diet that needs attention?”
Sun Caizhen impatiently replied, “Why are you asking so many questions? Are you coming or not? Don’t blame me for not warning you. If something goes wrong after you took Molly away, you’ll be fully responsible.”
An Bu was sure that Sun Caizhen was hiding something, and it was related to Molly’s safety.
“Wait for me at the police station; I’ll be right there.” An Bu hung up the phone, turned to Molly, and waved, “Molly, come over here.”
Molly jumped off the chair and followed An Bu out of the private room.
Seeing this, Jian Ningxuan also stood up and followed.
“Molly, tell sister, what do you usually eat at home?” An Bu squatted down, asking gently.
Molly thought for a moment and replied, “Milk, steamed bread, noodles, rice, vegetables, eggs…” She counted over a dozen foods on her fingers.
“Do you take any medicine?”
Molly frowned and nodded reluctantly, “Yes, Mom says I have to take medicine every day, but I don’t want to take it at all.”
An Bu felt she had found the key point, “Is Molly not feeling well? What medicine does your mom ask you to take?”
“I think my body is fine; I’ve never been to the hospital,” Molly said listlessly, “but my mom always makes me take medicine. I don’t know what it is, but it’s especially bitter.”
“Has Molly been taking medicine on time recently?”
Molly lowered her head, showing reluctance to answer the question. It was clear that she hadn’t been taking her medicine on time.
“How many days has it been since Molly took her medicine?”
Molly slowly extended four fingers.
Four days?
An Bu continued, “Did Molly’s mom tell you what would happen if you didn’t take the medicine on time?”
Molly honestly replied, “Mom said I couldn’t go more than three days; otherwise, worms would grow on me. But I haven’t taken it for four days, and nothing happened. Mom must be scaring me.”
Looking at the death energy surrounding her, An Bu didn’t delay any longer. She turned to Jian Ningxuan, “Mr. Jian, we need to rush to the Chengnan Police Station.”
Jian Ningxuan nodded, informed the people in the private room, and then took An Bu and Molly to the car, heading to the Chengnan Police Station.
There were 42 minutes left. An Bu was calculating the time in her mind.
Molly seemed to sense something and asked softly, “Little Bear Sister, did I cause trouble for you?”
“No, Molly is fine. Sister just hopes you can grow up healthy and happy.” An Bu patted her head.
Jian Ningxuan drove quickly and arrived at the Chengnan Police Station in just 19 minutes.
An Bu, holding Molly, hurried into the police station and saw Sun Caizhen sitting on a bench against the wall.
“Oh, you finally came.” Sun Caizhen sat comfortably, looking at her with a mocking expression.
“Do you have the medicine?” An Bu walked up to her, put Molly down, and asked in a cold voice.
Sun Caizhen ignored her and said to the police nearby, “Police, it was really troublesome. If it weren’t for you, this woman probably wouldn’t have brought Molly back. Can I take her home now?”
The police said, “Hold on, we need to verify your identity and understand the situation.”
“I’m asking you,” An Bu grabbed Sun Caizhen, emphasizing each word, “Do you have the medicine?”
“Hey!” Sun Caizhen made an exaggerated cry, “Police, look at this; she’s actually using violence against me.”
“What are you doing? Let her go.” The police were about to step forward to stop her, but Jian Ningxuan took a step forward and stopped their action.
“Oh my God, is there no law and order anymore! You…!”
“Shut up!” An Bu sternly interrupted her wailing, “Don’t you know Molly hasn’t taken her medicine for four days?”
Sun Caizhen was first stunned, then retorted, “What nonsense are you talking about? It’s only been two days.”
“Two days? Have you drunk yourself into brain damage?” An Bu shouted, “Molly’s medicine? Did you bring it or not?”
“No, what’s the big deal?” Sun Caizhen broke free from her grasp, “When we get home, I’ll naturally give Molly the medicine. You don’t need to worry.”
“It takes 15 minutes to get from here to Molly’s home by car!” An Bu turned to look at Molly, amazed to find that her life speed had increased!
Originally, there should be about 18 minutes left, but now there were only 3 or 4 minutes left.
In a moment of trance, An Bu “saw” red rashes suddenly appearing on Molly’s skin.
Sun Caizhen saw this scene, her face flashed with horror. She quickly rushed to Molly, took out a medicine bottle from her pocket, tremblingly opened the lid, poured out a few pills, and quickly fed them into Molly’s mouth. However, Molly, who took the pills, didn’t improve. Instead, she got worse. Her eyes stared lifelessly upward, mouth open but unable to make any sound. Her chest heaved violently, but after a while, her body stopped convulsing, and her limbs hung down weakly, with only her eyes still wide open in fear…
An Bu’s consciousness pulled away from the scene. Immediately, she “saw” red rashes appearing on Molly’s skin, just as she had foreseen.
Sun Caizhen witnessed this scene, her face showing terror. She quickly rushed to Molly, took out a medicine bottle from her pocket, and was about to open it when An Bu snatched it away.
“What are you doing? Can’t you see she’s having a seizure?” Sun Caizhen shouted.
An Bu ignored her shouting, coldly inspecting the medicine bottle. Anger flashed in her eyes, “Sun Caizhen, do you not know that this bottle of medicine has been expired for a month?”
“What does it matter if it’s expired for a month? Just use it for emergency!” Sun Caizhen stamped her foot, completely unaware of her own mistake.
An Bu pushed her aside without hesitation and quickly approached Molly. She noticed that Molly’s life had extended for a few more minutes, but she was still not completely free from the threat of death.
An Bu couldn’t afford to waste any time. She picked up Molly and rushed outside.
“Where are you taking Molly?” Sun Caizhen, chasing after them, shouted sharply, “Police, stop her, stop her!”
Several police officers hurriedly followed, attempting to intercept An Bu, but she ran so fast that they couldn’t catch up.
An Bu, familiar with the city map, knew the environment well and realized there was a pharmacy a few hundred meters away.
She rushed into the pharmacy with Molly, placed the medicine bottle on the counter, and anxiously asked, “Do you have this medicine?”
The front desk pharmacist picked it up, nodded, and said, “Yes.”
“Give me a bottle quickly!”
The pharmacist quickly handed over the medicine. An Bu didn’t even bother to pay; she opened the bottle and fed Molly a pill. Despite the urgency, she also checked the dosage instructions – one pill per day. Remembering how Sun Caizhen had fed Molly multiple pills, An Bu’s eyes flashed with coldness.
Jian Ningxuan brought a cup of water for An Bu to give to Molly. He hadn’t spoken throughout, just quietly observing her every move.
After taking the pill, Molly, who was on the brink of death, gradually regained vitality. Her symptoms eased, breathing became steady, but the red rashes on her skin hadn’t disappeared.
At this moment, Sun Caizhen, accompanied by two panting police officers, arrived. She pointed at An Bu and started cursing loudly, “What do you want to do? Do you want to kill Molly? Police, quickly arrest her.”
However, the police didn’t immediately take action. Seeing that Molly, who had been in a seizure, was now improving, leaning against An Bu tiredly and looking at everyone blankly.
“What are you waiting for?” Sun Caizhen urged, “She took someone else’s child away, didn’t let the child take medicine, isn’t this harming people?”
The sharp and noisy voice echoed in the pharmacy, making people frown involuntarily.
An Bu handed Molly over to a police officer and then took out her wallet, counted three thousand yuan in cash, and handed it to another police officer. “This is compensation for medical expenses and mental damages.”
The two police officers looked at An Bu in bewilderment.
An Bu walked towards Sun Caizhen.
Sun Caizhen was still yelling, “It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t taken Molly away, how could she have suffered like this? You really…”
An Bu suddenly raised her hand, grabbed Sun Caizhen’s collar from behind, and slammed her headfirst into the pharmacy’s glass door.
With a loud “bang,” Sun Caizhen was hit, seeing stars. The surrounding people stared in astonishment.
“Leaving a child alone outside the door, not picking her up on time, not cooking on time, not reminding her to take medicine on time, ignoring the expiration of medication, drinking irresponsibly, neglecting duty, and disregarding the child’s health and safety, are you even worthy of being a human?” Every time An Bu spoke, she slammed Sun Caizhen against the glass door.
Sun Caizhen let out a series of screams, first cursing, then crying and begging for mercy.
An Bu threw her to the ground, staring at her disheveled appearance without any expression. If An Bu hadn’t taken Molly away this time, Sun Caizhen probably wouldn’t have remembered to remind Molly to take her medicine. Molly had missed her medication for four days, but Sun Caizhen only remembered two. Considering the daily dosage of one pill, the bottle of medicine should have been finished long ago. The fact that it was still around, expired for a month, showed how neglectful she was in taking care of Molly.
After reprimanding Sun Caizhen, An Bu walked to the counter calmly, saying, “Sorry for breaking your glass door. Here’s my phone number; contact me for the compensation. By the way, how much is this medicine?”
The pharmacist, still in shock, replied, “79 yuan per bottle.”
“Give me 10 bottles, swipe the card, thank you.” She had given all her cash to the police, so she had to use her card.
The two police officers were completely confused. An Bu acted too fast, and within a few words, she had beaten someone to a pulp. They couldn’t stop her in time, witnessing such a straightforward and unpretentious woman beating someone in front of the police. Beating someone up, paying compensation on the spot, and even including mental damages – how bold!
At this moment, Jian Ningxuan walked up to them, handing them a business card, “If you have any questions, call him. I hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible.”
The police officers took the card, and their attitude immediately became more respectful. After all, the name on the card was that of their police chief…
Later, Jian Ningxuan and An Bu took Molly to the hospital for an examination. Surprisingly, the hospital found no signs of any illness. If it weren’t for the lingering red rashes on Molly’s skin, they might have thought she was healthier than an average child.
When An Bu had discovered Molly’s unique blood earlier, she had assumed that Molly should be healthier than the average person. That’s why she hadn’t asked about her health promptly. However, the reality showed that Molly’s situation was extraordinary; she needed to take medication every day to maintain her vitality. The problem might lie with Molly’s parents, but they were currently missing. An Bu filed a report at the police station, hoping the authorities could contact them. After all, they had been out of contact for a month, which was enough cause for concern.
The next day, all the red rashes disappeared from Molly’s body, and she returned to her original appearance.
An Bu gained 187 points of Fate Energy and unexpectedly obtained her second “∞”…
