Chapter 386 Father Qiao is Injured

That night.

Qiao Qiao was carried back by Shen Qingyan, and not long after she was placed on the bed, she slowly drifted off to sleep surrounded by a red halo that was invisible to others.

...

"Sweetie, sweetie, open your eyes, open your eyes, please, open your eyes and look at Daddy, don't scare Daddy..."

Hearing anxious calls, Qiao Qiao opened her eyes and found herself being held in someone's arms like a baby.

The person holding her seemed terrified; their arms were wrapped tightly around her, and they appeared to be trembling slightly.

The voice calling her name was trembling with sobs.

It seems that his emotions are on the verge of collapse.

Warm liquid kept dripping onto her face, smelling fishy.

Qiao Qiao looked up and saw that the person holding her was Qiao Changdong.

but--

"Dad!" Qiao Qiao exclaimed in alarm as she reached out to hug Qiao Changdong, her eyes anxiously fixed on the wound that stretched across half of his face.

It looked like a knife wound. The cut was clean and deep, at least two centimeters long, and even longer than her uncle Meng Zhengcheng's.

The flesh around the wound was torn open, revealing some bone. Bright red blood smeared all over Qiao Changdong's face, and a lot of it was dripping down, all of it landing on Qiao Qiao's face.

But the man seemed oblivious to the pain, holding her tightly. When he saw her finally open her eyes, his eyes instantly filled with ecstatic joy.

This time, what dripped onto Qiao Qiao's face was not only the blood from Qiao Changdong's face, but also his scalding tears.

"Okay, okay, sweetie, don't be afraid. Daddy's here. Don't be afraid, no one can hurt you. Daddy's here, Daddy's here."

Qiao Changdong spoke while trying to comfort him.

"Dad, Dad, your face." Seeing the injury on Qiao Changdong's face, Qiao Qiao subconsciously wanted to reach out to help heal him, but when she tried to channel her spiritual energy, she found that she had no spiritual energy left in her body.

What happened?! It's gone again?!

"It's okay, it's okay, Daddy's not in pain. As long as you're okay, Daddy's not in pain." Seeing the little girl's distress in his arms, Qiao Changdong comforted her repeatedly.

He picked up Qiao Qiao and got up.

Qiao Qiao was picked up by him and realized what a chaotic scene they were in.

They were surrounded by countless police cars, ambulances, and vehicles marked with the name of the Armed Police Special Forces. Even above their heads, a helicopter was circling overhead.

In short, it was a rather chaotic scene.

"Dongzi, the ambulance is here. Take Guai Guai to the hospital first. The scene here is still a bit chaotic. I'll come find you after I've dealt with it." It was Meng Zhengcheng's voice.

"Okay." Qiao Changdong nodded, and without saying another word, he picked up Qiao Qiao and walked in one direction.

Qiao Qiao leaned on his shoulder, looking worriedly at the injury on his face while discreetly surveying her surroundings.

I don't know if the lights at the scene were too dazzling, or if she was just imagining things.

She saw a group of ragged children, all around ten years old, standing behind several police cars.

And among this group of children, she actually spotted a familiar face.

Like Jiang Shengnan?

Upon seeing Jiang Shengnan, Qiao Qiao's first thought was that she had actually known Jiang Shengnan in her first life.

Before Qiao Qiao could figure this out, she saw two policemen carrying a stretcher, with two doctors in white coats following beside them, passing by not far away.

There looked like a person was lying on the stretcher, their whole body was covered by a white sheet, so you couldn't see their face, only one hand was sticking out from under the white sheet.

Those hands were deathly pale, devoid of any color.

Qiao Qiao's heart pounded. Just as she was about to take another look, another figure strode over. It was Shen Qingyan, who had clearly been in a hurry and whose hair was soaked with sweat.

"Dad," Qiao Qiao called out.

Shen Qingyan strode over, grabbed the person and pulled him into his arms, holding him tightly in his embrace.

The force was so great that his heartbeat traveled through his chest and reached Qiao Qiao's body.

"It's alright, it's alright." Shen Qingyan's voice was also hoarse and barely audible, as if it were coming from a knife that had cut through his throat.

Not long after, Qiao Qiao felt warm liquid on her neck again.

She cried too?

Qiao Qiao was genuinely curious now.

What time is it now? What has happened? Why is everyone so nervous?

After confirming that Qiao Qiao was alright, Shen Qingyan returned her to Qiao Changdong. He then selected two of his own soldiers to accompany Qiao Qiao and Qiao Changdong into the ambulance before letting the ambulance leave.

It was only in the ambulance that Qiao Qiao vaguely understood the current situation from the two doctors and nurses who were treating Qiao Changdong's wounds.

This is a scene of a large-scale live organ trade.

The last time she appeared in my dream, she was about one and a half years old.

She should be three years old now.

The person she had seen being carried on a stretcher earlier was indeed dead. He was said to be the mastermind behind the deal, not from the Flower Kingdom, but from a small country surrounding the Flower Kingdom.

"Fortunately, they were caught this time, otherwise these kids would have been in big trouble."

"Yes, yes, the leader has been caught too."

"This case..."

Several doctors and nurses were discussing it.

Qiao Changdong's facial injuries were not life-threatening, so the doctors and nurses had the energy to discuss the case while treating him.

Qiao Qiao nestled in Qiao Changdong's arms, listening to their discussion.

But she frowned slightly.

She saw Jiang Shengnan, which means that in this life, this case is very likely related to the impoverished children's aid organization run by Shen Qingrong in her current third life.

The mastermind behind it all shouldn't be just that dead stateless person.

Qiao Qiao thought this to herself, but she didn't show it to others.

When the ambulance stopped at the hospital, Qiao Qiao saw Yan Liti, who was already waiting at the hospital entrance.

Qiao Changdong's facial wounds required cleaning and suturing. He was wheeled into the operating room, while Qiao Qiao waited outside, held by Yan Liti.

While being held by Yan Liti, Qiao Qiao was unsure when she would wake up.

Not wanting to miss the opportunity, he said to Yan Liti, "Grandma, this case isn't over yet. We need to investigate Shen Qingrong."

"What?" Yan Liti was dozing off while holding her when she suddenly heard this and was startled.

"Investigate Shen Qingrong; this case is related to Shen Qingrong..."
