Reborn As Lucky Star

Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Call the Police

Everyone’s gaze stiffly followed the iron shovel, a terrifying conjecture spreading in their minds.

“Ma Jinbao!”

With a roar from the village chief, Ma Jinbao looked up, only then realizing so many people had come to his home.

His first instinct was to turn and run.

Ma Shulin, without a word, chased after him.

Although Ma Jinbao was much younger than the village chief, Ma Shulin had a father who was a soldier, and he had developed his speed chasing after his father every day.

It didn’t take long before Ma Jinbao was kicked to the ground.

“Why are you running?”

Ma Jinbao stammered, “I… I got startled by you all.”

The onlookers caught up and bombarded Ma Jinbao with questions.

“Your wife is sick in bed after giving birth, where did you go?”

“Where is your child? Why is there no sight of him?”

“What were you going to do with that iron shovel just now?”

Ma Jinbao couldn’t answer any of them, sitting on the ground with his head lowered.

Li Zhaodi and Ma Zhuzi arrived, gasping for breath, with Li Zhaodi protecting her son.

“What are you doing, Chief? He’s not a criminal. What’s the meaning of this?”

Ma Shulin glared furiously, “Then you answer for him, what was he doing with the iron shovel?”

“Going to… to the Fruit Orchard.”

Seeing Li Zhaodi still trying to argue, Ma Shulin didn’t bother to entangle with them further and looked towards the leading woman among the onlookers.

“Pan Xiaoyue, could you trouble yourself to go to the police station and ask the officers to come here?”

Pan Xiaoyue crisply acknowledged and turned to leave.

Ma Zhuzi hurriedly stopped her, “Chief, what’s this for? This is a private family matter. Why trouble the police?”

“Private family matter? Hmph, Yue Xiaofang’s life or death is unknown, and the child she bore is missing. You’re murdering!”

Ma Zhuzi stood there, dumbfounded, “How can you say that?”

Pan Xiaoyue glanced at him with contempt and, tucking her basket under her arm, ran off in the direction of the police station.

In the clinic, the doctor was conversing with Lin Chunju.

“Fortunately, she was brought in time. Any later and I fear…”

Lin Chunju had already lost the strength she once had, her face streaked with tears.

“Thank you, Doctor, thank you.”

“She’s seriously depleted after giving birth. She needs to recover her vitality.”

As they were talking, Yue Xiaofang slowly opened her eyes on the hospital bed.

Yue Qingqing was the first to notice and hurriedly called out, “Grandma, she’s awake!”

Lin Chunju and Yue Jiandong quickly gathered around, and after Yue Xiaofang’s eyes cleared from their initial confusion, she began to scream suddenly.

“My treasure, give me back my treasure!”

“Xiaofang, don’t move, you’re still on IV,” Lin Chunju quickly held down her daughter’s hand.

It took a lot of effort from Yue Jiandong to rewrap his sister in the blanket, preventing her from thrashing around.

Yue Xiaofang struggled incessantly, knocking the IV stand almost to the point of falling over, prompting the doctor to quickly inject her with a sedative.

After a moment, Yue Xiaofang lay back limply on the bed, finally quieting down.

Yue Qingqing noticed that her breathing was very unstable, indicating she was on the verge of collapse.

Lin Chunju’s voice choked with sobs, “Such sin… such sin.”

From Yue Xiaofang’s demeanor and screams, they could roughly guess the reason.

Yue Xiaofang had likely given birth to a daughter, and this child was probably already…

The clinic fell silent, the doctor had already gone out quietly, leaving only the Yue Family members inside.

After an indeterminable amount of time, Yue Xiaofang awoke again.

But this time, she seemed as if all her vitality had been drained from her, numbly staring at the ceiling, silent.

Lin Chunju and Yue Jiandong didn’t dare to provoke her and didn’t speak.

Lin Chunju stayed by the bedside, gently stroking her daughter’s hair.

Yue Qingqing sat obediently on a stool beside her, suddenly turning towards the door.

“Someone’s coming.”

The door opened, and Ma Shulin walked in with two men wearing police uniforms.

One of them saluted and looked towards the woman on the bed.

“Hello, may I ask if this is Yue Xiaofang and her family?”
