Genius Daddy in the City - Chapter 455

Chapter 455: The Little Beggar Girl!
After leaving the hospital, Ye Chen directly took out his cell phone and dialed Lin Tai’s number. “Capture someone named Xiao Kai for me. The person is in the First Affiliated Hospital of Tiannan University.”

Xiao Kai was the son of the deceased, the young man who had threatened to extort money from Su Yuhan.

Even through the phone, Lin Tai could still feel the killing intent and coldness in Ye Chen’s voice. He quivered and agreed immediately, “Sure!”

As the car started, Su Yuhan couldn’t help but ask, “Ye Chen, there’s something wrong with this hospital. They’ve already treated a dead person, yet they insist on saying that the old man has been dead for more than a month. I think we should call the police.”

“There’s nothing wrong with the hospital. It’s the dead person,” Ye Chen said.

“What did you say?” Su Yuhan’s pretty expression changed. “The dead person has a problem? Do you mean that what the hospital said is true? Has the old man really been dead for more than a month?”

At the thought of this, her face turned pale.

If the old man had really been dead for more than a month, then what had she encountered that morning?

“It’s okay. Don’t worry. I’m here. I’ll help you deal with the mark on your neck when we get back,” Ye Chen comforted her with a smile, but the fierce look on his face did not fade.

Although he did not understand the forensic autopsy method, he had smelled the aura of the corpse in the morgue just now.

Generally speaking, when a person was about to die, there would be a death aura on their body, also known as the twilight aura. When a person died, the corpse aura would only be released from their body after 24 hours. However, the old man had died less than half a day ago, and the morgue was filled with the stench of death.

This meant that the hospital was indeed not wrong. The other party had already died!

Moreover, Ye Chen had also felt the corpse aura from Xiao Kai’s body, which further proved his guess. That was why he had asked Lin Tai to secretly capture Xiao Kai.

While thinking about this, the hardness on his face became even more intense.

‘I don’t care if you are a human or a ghost. In short, congratulations on successfully offending me!’

..

On the cold street, a little girl about five or six years old was walking with her head lowered, looking extremely lonely.

She was dressed in rags, and the shoes on her feet were of different styles, revealing two red and swollen toes.

A young, well-dressed man walked over. The little girl timidly went up to him and stretched out her dirty little hand. “Sir, give me something to eat. I haven’t eaten for a few days.”

“Where did this little beggar come from? Get lost!” the young man immediately covered his mouth and nose with his hand and shouted at her. After saying that, he lifted his foot and kicked her out.

The little girl directly rolled to the middle of the road.

At this time, a red Porsche drove over.

Despair filled the little girl’s face immediately.

When Su Yuhan saw that the car was about to hit someone, she hurriedly said in the car, “Ye Chen, stop the car. Quickly stop the car!”

The car finally stopped when it was less than 10 centimeters away from the little girl. Su Yuhan immediately opened the door and got out to help the little girl up. She scanned her up and down, “Little girl, are you okay?”

Ye Chen also got out of the car.

“Miss, I’m fine.”

The little girl was frightened and hurriedly took a few steps back. She looked at Su Yuhan’s expensive and clean clothes with some trepidation.

She was afraid that she would dirty the lady’s clothes because the older man earlier had thought that she was smelly and dirty. She was even more afraid that they would call her a little beggar and hit her.

Su Yuhan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She looked around and then looked at the dirty and tattered girl. “Little girl, are you alone outside? Where is your family?”

She wanted to see if she could contact the little girl’s family and send her back. After all, it was too dangerous for a child to be outside alone.

“Family?” The little girl looked at her blankly and then lowered her head to look at her open-toed shoes. She said weakly, “I, Qianqian, am alone. I’ve got no family. I don’t know who my father or my mother is.”

“Then, aren’t you an orphan?” Su Yuhan blurted out subconsciously. At the end of her sentence, she realized that her words were a bit hurtful, so she hurriedly changed them, “Little girl, where do you stay? Can I send you back?”

“I don’t have a home either.” The little girl lowered her head even more and said with tears in her eyes, “I can’t remember many things. I only remember that I’ve lived with Grandpa Sun before.”

“Who is Grandpa Sun? Where does he live?” Su Yuhan asked.

“Grandpa Sun is Grandpa Sun.” A trace of color appeared in the little girl’s dull eyes. “Grandpa Sun treated me very well. He gave me steamed buns and even spent money to send me to the hospital. Later, he disappeared, and I became alone again.”

After knowing that she was an orphan, Su Yuhan’s eyes were slightly red. She did not have the heart to leave her alone, but she did not know how to deal with her either. She could not help but look at Ye Chen. “Ye Chen, what should we do now?”

“Why don’t we call the police? They will handle it. At the very least, we can send her to the orphanage,” Ye Chen said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qianqian hurriedly took a few steps back as she looked at him with pleading eyes. “Mister, Miss, don’t…don’t send me to the orphanage. They don’t play with me. They throw stones at me and even like to lock me up in a small dark room. I’m afraid of the dark, and I get so hungry.”

“Mister, Miss, thank you. I won’t trouble you anymore.” After saying that, the little girl turned around and looked forlorn.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Su Yuhan hurriedly asked, “Qianqian, where are you going?”

“I don’t know either.”

Su Yuhan tugged at the corner of Ye Chen’s shirt. “Ye Chen, how about…how about we adopt Qianqian? Qianqian is…She’s so pitiful. We’ll send her back when we find her parents.”

She could not help but cry when she said this.

Because she was also a mother, she saw Mengmeng’s shadow within Qianqian. When she saw Qianqian’s lonely appearance, her heart felt like it was struggling. She could not help but think about the days when she and Ye Chen were not around when her daughter, Mengmeng, was also like Qianqian.

Ye Chen nodded and smiled. “It’s up to you!”

Hearing this, Su Yuhan was so happy that she cried. She hurriedly chased after the little girl and stopped her, “Qianqian, are you willing to go back to my house with me?”

“Miss, do you have food to eat when I go home with you?”

The little girl looked hopeful but also a little scared. “Miss, will you beat me? Will you sell me to others? I remember that there was an aunt who lost in a poker game and wanted to sell me away.”

At this point, she was a little confused. “I don’t think it was an aunt. It was an uncle. When he was drunk, he burned me with a cigarette and it hurt a lot.”

“No, I promise I won’t!”

Su Yuhan’s nose turned sour. She hugged her and said tearfully, “I promise I’ll treat you like my own daughter until I find your parents.”

“Really?” The little girl’s eyes lit up. “Don’t worry, Miss. I’m a good girl. I can sweep the floor, wash clothes, and cook. I don’t eat much, so a steamed bun will do.”

“Let’s go. I’ll take you back.” Su Yuhan carried her back to the car.

Ye Chen was about to drive away when he heard the sudden squeal of brakes in the distance, followed by a scream.

“There’s a dead person!”
