"Captain Ling, there is a child outside looking for you."
"A child looking for me? Who is it?" Ling Xiao raised his head from the case files, revealing a face tired yet resolute.
"He said his name is Xiao Ran."
"Xiao Ran?" Hearing this name, Ling Xiao abruptly stood up and strode outside, "Where is he? Who did he come with?"
"A traffic policeman brought him over."
"A traffic policeman? He isn't with any other adults?"
"No."
Ling Xiao went outside and indeed saw a child sitting on the sofa in the reception room, who was unmistakably Chu Ran.
"Xiao Ran, why did you come here alone? Where's your dad?" Ling Xiao walked over and crouched down to ask.
"Dad doesn't want me anymore. He and Aunt Xiao Jin hit me and didn't give me any food to eat." Seeing who had arrived, Xiao Ran suddenly burst into tears, a tactic taught to him by Uncle Water Ghost and Fierce Ghost to temporarily get away from Dad and Aunt Xiao Jin in order to protect Mom temporarily.
