Little Terrified Bun

“And it was a spontaneous decision to bring Xu Jiahui to the art exhibition today.” Xu Jiaming’s wife spoke with her eyes turning red.
“He had been by my side the whole time.
Wei Jing too, until he said he was hungry.
I wanted to take him out to eat, who knew that he dragged Wei Jing with him and ran out, and meanwhile, I encountered an old acquaintance.
Thinking that he had frequented the area, I didn’t go after him.”

“If I knew… if I knew it would turn out this way…” Mrs.
Xu suddenly started to cry midway.

Xu Jiaming was also discontent with his wife for this incident, but they had a deep relationship after all, and with her on the verge of breaking down, he couldn’t scold her.

“Then…those people should be coming after my brother.” Wei Zhe revealed his judgment unhesitantly.
“My brother went out alone in the afternoon.
In the morning, when the chauffeur was behind him, those people didn’t show up.”

“Then in the afternoon, Chauffeur Li followed Wei Min to the amusement park and promised to pick up Wei Jing before the sky turned dark, but Wei Min’s cousin happened to get injured by a bicycle at the same time and went to the hospital.”

Wei Zhe sneered, “What’s even more coincidental was that, not long ago, Wei Min’s mother had devised a car accident to kill me.”

“Don’t you think…that all of these instances were too coincidental?”

“Then we…” The policemen were still confused.

“Why are you still here?” Wei Zhe’s tone suddenly became cruel and his face turned gloomy.
“If you’re not going to arrest them now, are you planning to wait till they’ve run away and then slowly investigate everything?”

“Yes yes yes…”

The policemen, who were at least a generation older than Wei Jing, suddenly became like Tom and Jerry, pulling their tails in and immediately getting to action.

The rain had worsened.
Holding onto Xu Jiahui, Wei Jing had found a huge rock.
The area was so remote they couldn’t even find a place to take shelter from the rain.
The sound of rain had blocked people’s hearing and the rain drops had blocked people’s vision, especially after Wei Jing’s previous decisive strikes.

The kidnappers were also afraid that this would result in the loss of life, so after a period of hesitation, one of the men carried his fellow back to the backyard, planning to take emergency measures to stop the bleeding first and take care of the rest after they captured the children and sent them to the secluded rural area.

The other two men continued to run after the children.

But the short period of hesitation was enough.
With just that short of a time, Wei Jing already dragged the child with him and ran far away.

Currently, both of their strengths had reached their capacity, and they could no longer move forward.

Wei Jing looked at the Xu Jiahui who was shivering due to the cold, his face already turning to a bruise-like color.
Wei Jing himself was actually also suffering from the cold, as if the slightest gaps between his bones were filled with chilliness.

The blood on his forehead had dried a long time ago, and the wound on his back was occasionally painful as it got hit by the huge droplets of rainfall.

Wei Jing hesitated for a moment, then took off his sweater to cover Xu Jiahui.
“Wait for me for a while, I’m going to look for something.
I’ll be back soon.”

“N…No.” The stranglehold on Xu Jiahui’s neck not only injured his throat, but also his courage.
He held onto Wei Jing.
“I…I want to be together with you, I don’t want to be alone.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be back very soon.
Wait for me obediently.” Wei Jing comforted him softly, then marched forward into the rain.

He picked up some sturdy branches and shoved a bunch of random leaves in his arms and returned.
The child first put the leaves under the rock, then placed the branches on top of the rock one by one, as if he was building a nest.
Lastly, Wei Jing spread out his sweater outside the branches to prevent the rain from dripping in.

The two six or seven year old children held hands, shoulder to shoulder, and huddled in the last remaining sweater to keep each other warm.
