He tried to turn the door lock, but it wouldn’t open. Xiao Liu sighed helplessly and used the key to open the door.

“happy……”

Xiao Liu had just uttered a syllable when she realized there was no one in the room. The curtains by the window were fluttering in the wind, and the room was decorated in a clean and fresh manner, which proved that the nanny was doing a good job.

He left the room and, based on past experience, began searching each room.

After searching all the rooms, he still couldn’t find Le Bao.

Xiao Liu knew that Le Bao had hidden away again. Perhaps because he grew up without his mother’s company, Le Bao’s personality was extreme and strange, and he had a terrible temper. Xiao Liu had no idea what he was thinking.

It’s common for them to hit people, throw things at others, and hide away when they get angry.

Is it on the first floor?

As Xiao Liu was about to go downstairs, he suddenly remembered that there was a warehouse on the second floor that hadn’t been checked.

He turned and walked toward the storeroom in the corner.

With a click, Xiao Liu opened the warehouse door, and a small figure curled up in front of him appeared.

When Xiao Liu saw Le Bao, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately opened the door, allowing a little light to enter the room.

He stepped forward, intending to pick up Le Bao, but found that Le Bao’s eyes were half-open, and her whole body seemed to be convulsing, her consciousness somewhat scattered.

“Le Bao!”

Xiao Liu picked up Le Bao and rushed outside without paying attention to anything else.

The thumping footsteps finally alerted Zhou Qing, the nanny downstairs.

Zhou Qing stood up in a panic, and turned around to see Xiao Liu carrying Le Bao downstairs.

Without hesitation, she rushed forward, demanding, “Who are you? What are you going to do to Le Bao?”

Xiao Liu was initially dissatisfied because Le Bao was almost in trouble due to her negligence. However, she didn’t expect that Le Bao’s first reaction would be to protect Le Bao and that she wouldn’t recognize him in his casual clothes. This dispelled Xiao Liu’s suspicions about her.

Compared to Lin Yao, that irresponsible mother, Zhou Qing, the nanny who has taken care of Le Bao for three years, is definitely more trustworthy.

“I’m Xiao Liu, Comrade Zhou. Please go and pack some of Le Bao’s clothes. I’m taking Le Bao to the hospital now,” Xiao Liu said, introducing himself.

The guilt in Zhou Qing’s eyes instantly subsided after hearing Xiao Liu’s words. She had thought that Xiao Liu had discovered what she had done, but she didn’t expect that the other party hadn’t discovered it at all.

A smug smile flashed in Zhou Qing’s eyes, but she replaced it with a concerned expression and nodded repeatedly, “Okay, okay, Xiao Liu, go quickly, I’ll pack Le Bao’s clothes right away.”

Xiao Liu nodded, focusing all his attention on taking Le Bao to the hospital.

In less than half an hour, he took Le Bao to the hospital.

“Dr. Wang, quick, quick, take a look at the child…”

Doctor Wang, accompanied by nurses, took Le Bao, who was in a semi-comatose state, into the emergency room, while Xiao Liu waited anxiously outside.

Before Le Bao was wheeled out of the emergency room, the nanny Zhou Qing came over first.

“Xiao Liu, what’s wrong with Le Bao?” Zhou Qing asked with a worried expression.

Xiao Liu frowned and asked her, “Comrade Zhou, what’s wrong with Le Bao? Why is he alone in the warehouse?”

Zhou Qing’s heart skipped a beat. She slapped her thigh and cried, “Xiao Liu, I don’t know either! Le Bao was clearly reading in his room. I checked on him every half hour. I really don’t know how he ended up in the storeroom again.”

“…Le Bao must have missed his mother too much. Today, when I was reading a book, I came across the song ‘Only Mother is Good in the World,’ and I hummed it a few times. Le Bao suddenly got angry, threw the book away, and kicked me out of the room.” Zhou Qing’s face was full of worry. “Sigh, it’s all my fault. If I had known he was unhappy, I should have just waited at the door. He wouldn’t have been able to sneak off to the storeroom.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu instinctively asked, “Are you sure that’s true?”

“Of course, Xiao Liu, why would I lie? Le Bao grew up drinking my milk. Even if she’s not my biological child, she’s better than my own. My own children didn’t drink as much milk as Le Bao. How could I not have feelings for her?” Zhou Qing lowered her head and wept.

Xiao Liu asked in confusion, “When did Le Bao get angry?”

Zhou Qing didn’t know why he was asking so many details, but after a moment’s thought, she said, “Just half an hour ago, I check on Le Bao every half hour every day.”

She arranged the timeline very logically.

So, it was Lin Yao who called Le Bao, which triggered Le Bao’s reaction and led to what happened today?

With that thought in mind, Xiao Liu didn’t ask Zhou Qing any more questions.

Zhou Qing cautiously inquired about the situation, “Xiao Liu, what are you doing on the second floor? You gave me quite a fright.”

Xiao Liu felt a little embarrassed, thinking that Lin Yao was messing with him. He coughed lightly and said, “I wanted to see what Le Bao was doing, so I quietly went in from the backyard.”

Zhou Qing’s face darkened, and she felt a wave of fear. She really didn’t expect Xiao Liu to have such a trick up his sleeve. If he came a few more times in the future, wouldn’t she be caught disciplining that little brat?

It seems I can’t take any action for the time being.

Zhou Qing made up her mind, and her anxiety gradually subsided.

Half an hour later, Dr. Wang and Le Bao were wheeled out of the emergency room.

“Dr. Wang, how is he?” Xiao Liu asked impatiently as he stepped forward.

Zhou Qing rushed over, grabbed Le Bao’s hand and cried, “Le Bao, what’s wrong? It’s all Auntie’s fault for not taking good care of you.”

“Who are you? Who drugged the child?” Dr. Wang asked with a stern face.

“A sleeping potion?” Xiao Liu was confused.

Zhou Qing’s expression changed drastically. She hadn’t expected that a sleeping potion would be found. An hour had passed since she took the drug, so the drug should have dissipated long ago and shouldn’t have been detected.

“Yes, there was still a trace of the drug on Le Bao’s mouth. I guess someone directly covered his mouth, causing the child’s respiratory muscles to contract uncontrollably under the influence of the drug and fear, resulting in chest tightness and a feeling of impending death.”

“If you had brought him any later, the child would not have survived.”

Xiao Liu was shocked, not expecting that Le Bao was really in trouble. He turned sharply to Zhou Qing, “Comrade Zhou, is this what you call taking care of me? What exactly is this about the sleeping pills!”

“I don’t know, it’s all my fault…” Zhou Qing kept slapping himself, and his face swelled up in no time.

“I didn’t expect that Le Bao would have an accident in just half an hour since I didn’t go up to check on him. Drugs… Could it be that Le Bao accidentally ingested drugs and then locked himself in the room…?”

“Half an hour? This child’s symptoms have lasted at least an hour and a half, how could it only be half an hour?” Doctor Wang, his beard bristling and eyes wide, exclaimed, “Xiao Liu, are you blind? This nanny is lying!”

With just one sentence, Zhou Qing’s face turned pale with fear, and he instinctively ran backward.

“Grab her quickly!”

Xiao Liu never expected that he had really been deceived by Zhou Qing. Seeing her actions, his face stung with embarrassment, especially when he thought of what Lin Yao had said. He felt both ashamed and angry.

“Xiao Liu, it really has nothing to do with me. I just haven’t been upstairs to check on Le Bao for too long. The drugging has nothing to do with me.” Even now, Zhou Qing is still trying to deny it.
