Li Yu woke up early and kissed Ah Xiang, causing the sleeping Ah Xiang to grumble in her sleep!
Li Yu got out of bed and stood by the bed, calling out to the system to check in.
[Check-in successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained a large yellow fish. It has been placed in the system space! ]
“Wow, I’m lucky today.” Li Yu said, and then went to wash up. When he went back into the room, Ah Xiang was awake!
Li Yu saw Ah Xiang was awake and said, “Why are you up so early? Don't you want to sleep a little longer?”
“If I sleep any longer, I’ll turn into a lazy pig!” Ah Xiang said, and then she went to wash up too!
Li Yu put on his police uniform. He had to go to work today. Yesterday was his last day of vacation. When Ah Xiang came in, he hugged her and said: “I have to go to work! Don't miss me too much, okay!”
“I wouldn’t dream of it” Ah Xiang said with a playful snort.
Although she said she wouldn’t miss him, she held onto Li Yu's hand tighter. They enjoyed a moment of intimacy before Li Yu took out a bag and said: “Ah Xiang, here's 100 yuan. Take it and use it first! If you need more, just ask me to get some more.” Then he went out.
Li Yu walked out of the courtyard, and at the gate, he met Ji Gong Fu, and greeted him, “Fu ge, why are you holding a baby?” He went over to tease the baby.
Ji Gong Fu sighed in response, “Last night I went to help someone with the night watch! I found this baby at the door of the orphanage. I saw he had a fever, and he looked so pitiful, so I brought him back. He just stopped running a fever.”
“Your conditions are not good enough to raise this baby! How about this, here's five yuan for you. Consider it my contribution to charity.” Li Yu said as he took out five yuan from his pocket (system space) and gave it to Ji Gong Fu.
Ji Gong Fu quickly refused, “How can I accept your money? You and Ah Xiang just got together and have so many expenses!”
Li Yu directly stuffed the money into Ji Gong Fu’s bag, “I have money. You need it more now, especially with an extra mouth to feed. If you don’t know how to care for a child, you can ask Lan Yi. She knows a lot about it!” After saying that, Li Yu went out of the courtyard.
Ji Gong Fu called out from behind, “A Yu, thank you!”
Li Yu waved his hand as he walked away.
Li Yu arrived at the police station and hadn’t sat down for long when he was called to Chief Niu’s office.
As soon as he entered Chief Niu’s office, Li Yu said, “Chief, what’s up?”
Chief Niu said to Li Yu, “A Yu, the mistress of the District Chief’s wife gave birth to a baby yesterday, the seventh day of the lunar month. He just happened to be on a business trip that day, and his wife and mistress don’t get along.” Chief Niu took a sip of tea.
“So what? It has nothing to do with us!” Li Yu was confused.
“Well, of course it has nothing to do with us directly! However, his wife threw the baby that his mistress just gave birth to. It was left at the orphanage’s door around two in the morning. Now she’s demanding that we find it. A Yu, you need to help! If we can’t find it, my job is in trouble.” Chief Niu said helplessly.
“Alright, I’ll go investigate right away. I’ll try my best to find it!” Li Yu said.
“Alright! You go and get busy then!” Chief Niu said.
“Okay.” Li Yu said and left the police station and returned to the courtyard.
As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he saw Lan Yi comforting the baby, surrounded by a group of people.
Li Yu walked over to Ji Gong Fu and said with a smile, “Fu ge, this baby must be hungry. Look how he's sucking on Lan Yi's finger and won’t let go!”
Ji Gong Fu turned around and saw Li Yu. He said, “Lan Yi said the same thing. Ah Xiang even helped me buy rice powder. We really have to thank the two of you. I wouldn’t have known what to do otherwise!”
Seeing Ji Gong Fu say this, Li Yu politely acknowledged it and pulled Ji Gong Fu aside. “Fu ge, what time did you find this baby last night?”
Ji Gong Fu immediately answered, “Around two in the morning. I just finished my watch at two o’clock and heard a baby crying. I went to check it out and discovered this baby. I originally wanted to take him inside the orphanage, but the people inside told me that they had already had several babies like this this month, and they couldn’t raise them. He was running a fever too. I couldn’t bear to leave him, so I brought him back.”
“Did you notice anything else then? Or did you see anyone carrying a baby walking by?” Li Yu asked.
Ji Gong Fu thought back, “Around one o’clock, when I was changing from one watch to the next, I bumped into Liang Sao, and she told me I had made a mistake and done the watch for an extra hour. Then I saw the people from the orphanage. There was nothing else after that.”
“Okay, that’s it then. I’m going to go now.” Li Yu said and quickly walked away.
Even though Li Yu knew the plot, he didn’t know exactly who picked up the Chief’s child. So he went back to the courtyard to ask Ji Gong Fu, to see if there were any clues.
Li Yu then went to the orphanage and asked the director. The director told Li Yu that there was someone who came to pick up a baby around two in the morning, and described the person’s general appearance.
After hearing this, Li Yu immediately returned to the police station and sent people to find the baby and the person who took it. It took the whole police station several days to find the baby and the person who took it.
They immediately brought them to the police station and sent someone to notify Chief Niu and the District Chief. Both of them arrived at the police station almost at the same time.
The Chief just took the baby from Li Yu’s hands when the mistress, who had followed him, grabbed it. She cried, “My baby! I finally found you!”
Li Yu saw the Chief looking at him and introduced him, “Chief, under the wise leadership of our Chief Niu, we spent several days searching, and finally found your son!”
The Chief immediately praised, “Your police station is very good. You deserve to be praised.”
Then Chief Niu and the Chief started to bicker.
Li Yu saw these two people bickering and was speechless. He walked out of the police station and went home.
As soon as Li Yu returned to the courtyard, he saw a group of people chasing each other. He shouted, “What are you all doing, so lively?”
Ah Xiang walked over and said, “Yu ge, hurry up and help! Bing Shu and Ba Gu are fighting over Fu ge’s baby! They seem to be taking the baby to collect a reward!”
When Li Yu heard this, he pulled out his gun and fired a shot, “Everyone, be quiet and gather here.”
Everyone stopped after hearing the gunshot, and then, hearing Li Yu's words, gathered together!
Ji Gong Fu took advantage of the situation and snatched the child from Ba Gu’s hands and gave it to a couple.
When Li Yu saw everyone gathered together, he said, “I know what’s going on! The Chief’s son has already been found. Everyone, don’t bother anymore, go back home.”
When everyone heard this, they dispersed. Only Ji Gong Fu and the couple were left. The couple thanked Li Yu, “Thank you, benefactor! You saved my child.”
Li Yu quickly waved his hands, “No, it was Fu ge. I don’t deserve any credit.”
The couple thanked Ji Gong Fu and Li Yu profusely, then left.
Li Yu returned home with Ah Xiang and ate the meal she cooked. The day passed like that.
