Feng Jing knew that Feng Ya had been very concerned about him since he was young. “Auntie, I understand. Xiaotao is a good girl, but I’m not thinking of these things now. ‘
“Child, how can you keep living in the past?’ Feng Ya knew Feng Jing very well and knew what he’s concerned about.
“The entire family is hurting from what happened with Feng Ye, but you are also our hope.”
Feng Ya looked at Feng Jing and felt very sorry for him. Feng Jing was just a child when he was finally found by the police. He refused to speak for a long time thereafter. Almost his entire childhood was dark and depressing, there was no joy, no laughter.
“Auntie, I’ll be fine.” Feng Jing assured Feng Ya. “I’m just not in the mood to consider personal issues. Xiaotao is a good girl. If I can solve my brother’s case, I’ll woo her.”
“You may have it all planned and sorted out, but will the young lady wait for you?’ Feng Ya knew that she couldn’t convince Feng Jing. Back then, when he wanted to be a detective, he went ahead and even left the capital despite the entire family’s violent objections.
“Then let’s leave it to fate and destiny. I won’t hold her back, nor will I let her risk her life with me.” Feng Jing knew that Feng Ye’s case would probably involve many dark forces. He didn’t want Yin Tao to worry about him.
“I can tell that Xiaotao likes you. I hope you won’t make her wait too long.” After saying that, Feng Ya looked at Feng Jing and realized that when he heard that Yin Tao liked him, his eyes lit up.
“Sigh, I can’t be bothered with you. Let’s go home together on your birthday next month.” After saying that, Feng Ya went straight to the second floor and returned to her room to rest.
Feng Jing, who was still sitting on the sofa, contemplated what Feng Ya had just said. Would Yin Tao really like him? In fact, Feng Jing wasn’t sure of this. Lin Jia was more suitable in many aspects. Feng Jing would like Yin Tao to find true happiness. As long as Feng Ye’s case wasn’t solved, he would always have a heavy heart.
Feng Jing wanted to be able to look after Yin Tao wholeheartedly if they were in a relationship. He felt that otherwise would be unfair to Yin Tao. She deserved the best.
Feng Jing sat on the sofa and found Lin Jia’s number in his cell phone’s contact list.
‘What can I do for you, Captain Feng?”
Lin Jia’s voice came through and Feng Jing rubbed his forehead while he asked,
“I heard from Xiaotao that you brought her to the Children’s Home?”
“Feng Jing, why are you acting like Yin Tao’s guardian? Even Yin Hao isn’t as bothered as you. How did you know? Did Xiaotao tell you?” Lin Jia protested.
“She asked me about Xu Shan’s parents’ case today. That child seems to have some psychological issues. ‘
“Oh, there’s something wrong with that child. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought Xiaotao along.”
Hearing what Lin Jia said, Feng Jing asked in confusion, “Why would you bring Xiaotao along just because you think that child has issues? Would she be better than a psychiatrist?’
“No, I think that child doesn’t seem to be afraid of corpses.” Lin Jia’s tone was a little awkward. He had seen Xu Shan’s drawings in the Children’s Home and noticed that she didn’t seem to be afraid of carcasses. She didn’t even seem to have a clear concept of death for that matter.
“Are you thinking that the child is similar to Yin Tao?” Feng Jing felt that there was clearly something wrong with Lin Jia’s logic. There was actually nothing strange about not being afraid of dead bodies.
“You can’t quite say that. After all, a girl who can be a forensic doctor must be very strong mentally. I just want Xiaotao to help. If she can counsel Shanshan, that child might become more cheerful.”
“Xiaotao feels that there might be a problem with the child’s parents’ case.”
Feng Jing trusted Yin Tao very much. Her suspicions wouldn’t be unfounded.
“Didn’t Shanshan’s parents die in a fire? There didn’t seem to be anything suspicious at that time. She was brought to the Children’s Home mainly because she had no other relatives. She had no recourse as a child.”
Lin Jia felt very sorry for Xu Shan, as such he was very concerned about her. “I plan to bring Xu Shan to see a psychiatrist in a few days. Xiaotao will be coming along too. We want to see if the psychiatrist can help in any way.”
“You’re going with Xiaotao?” Lin Jia thought for a moment and hurriedly asked, ‘What time are you going? I want to come along too.”
Feng Jing laughed and said, “Aren’t you very busy, mayor assistant Lin? You don’t have to worry about such a small matter..”
