Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Chilled to the Bone

The police officers on the scene saw that Hunting Wind stopped pacing and left Bai Cuiying. They quickly rushed over and tirelessly escorted Bai Cuiying and the child to a safe area.

Meanwhile, Xu Ying hurriedly held Hunting Wind tightly. Although the police hadn’t issued a shooting order, she wanted to give the dog plenty of security. The little furry one had a really tough day!

Everyone at the scene saw Xu Ying actually manage to calm down the ferocious dog and were astonished, their jaws dropped and faces burning with surprise.

The immediate crisis was finally resolved. The Feng Yun couple sighed in relief when they saw Hunting Wind wasn’t going to be killed on site.

“Young lady, thank you so much!”

After hastily thanking Xu Ying, the Feng Yun couple quickly went to check on Bai Cuiying and the child in her arms.

Hao Menghan was feeling quite uneasy after Chen Su’s reminder, but at this moment, she still urgently took the child from Bai Cuiying’s arms, saying, “My baby!”

Bai Cuiying’s bitten right hand was being bandaged and treated by a doctor, and as Hao Menghan came to hold the child in her arms, she was a bit reluctant to part with it.

The nurse beside the doctor, handing over tools, couldn’t help but say, “Aunt Bai, you’re really too kind. Even now, you’re instinctively protecting the child, unwilling to let go.”

Bai Cuiying let out an awkward laugh, “As long as the child’s alright, I’m at an age where getting hurt isn’t a big deal.”

Upon hearing the nurse’s words, Hao Menghan felt even more uneasy.

She exchanged a glance with her husband, Feng Yun. Feng Yun quietly took out blood sampling tools; being a biology expert, his actions were quick and professional. However, the child let out a sharp cry due to the pain.

Feng Yun quickly stored the sample, hid it in his pocket, and planned to find an opportunity to hand it over to the police for testing.

Some elderly women tourists, upon seeing the child cry as soon as it returned to Hao Menghan’s arms, couldn’t help but make sarcastic comments:

“Who knows how this mother is doing her job, making the child cry as soon as she holds him.”

“The nanny took such good care, but she doesn’t appreciate it. Finding such a loyal nanny is rare!”

The elderly women couldn’t help but express concern about Bai Cuiying’s injury: “Nanny, sister, how serious did the doctor say your injury is? Will you need surgery?”

Bai Cuiying was moved upon hearing this, furrowing her brow, her face full of concern, “Surgery… surgery is very expensive, right…”

“My husband passed away early, my son needs money for surgery, my daughter-in-law just gave birth, and I’m the only one who can earn money at home right now.”

As the doctor bandaged her wound, Bai Cuiying was in tears, “I didn’t expect to have such bad luck and get bitten by this vicious dog. Now, I won’t be able to work for at least three or four months. Once the employer finds a new nanny, I’ll lose my job too…”

Tourists in the scenic area, upon hearing the nanny lady’s plight, shook their heads and sighed with regret.

“Oh my, Aunt Bai really has it tough! Misfortune really seeks out those least able to bear it!”

“Aunt Bai’s been bitten like this, and the employer has nothing to say? After all, it was their dog that bit her!”

Hao Menghan hurriedly said, “Aunt Bai, don’t worry. Since Hunting Wind bit you, I’ll compensate you for your medical expenses and lost wages, at double the amount.”

Feng Yun also nodded, “Yes, once you’re healed, you can continue to work at our home. We won’t replace you.”

Aunt Bai immediately made a gesture of offering thanks, about to kneel down and give thanks to the Feng Yun couple, “Thank you, you two are truly kind-hearted, good people. You’ll be rewarded in the future.”

The Feng Yun couple quickly stopped her from doing so.

The doctor about to give Bai Cuiying a vaccine was dispatched from the major hospital in the Desert Scenic Area to the scene.

The paternity test matter was earlier reported to the hospital by him, and at this point, witnessing Bai Cuiying’s series of actions, he furrowed his brow tightly and pulled Bai Cuiying aside, “What are you doing? Stop moving! You’re getting an injection!”

“Say less, conserve your energy and spirit, or you’ll easily have aftereffects.”

Bai Cuiying quickly stopped moving and closed her mouth.

Tourists watching at this moment couldn’t help but sigh, “Aunt Bai got bitten, yet she has to thank the employer’s family. It’s really not easy being a worker nowadays.”

“Earn so much money, live in such a luxurious villa, and only give double wages and medical expenses, who are they fooling? Her finger’s been bitten like this, there might even be aftereffects.”

“Yes, now they’re just saying this for us passersby to hear. When they get back, they’ll quietly find a reason to fire Aunt Bai, and she won’t have any recourse.”

Hao Menghan and Feng Yun, having witnessed Bai Cuiying’s earlier actions and upon hearing the tourists’ comments, only felt a chill down their spines. Had it not been for Chen Su’s earlier warning, they might still be in the dark, likely to have profusely thanked Bai Cuiying, agreed to any of her requests, considered her the savior of their child, filled with guilt and gratitude.

But now, they only felt chilled to the bone, realizing such a kind-faced yet deeply scheming person had been in their home for three years. If it weren’t for today’s incident, they wouldn’t know how long they would have been deceived.

Meanwhile, Xu Ying whispered to Hunting Wind, understanding the sequence of events.

[I overheard the nanny on a call with someone this morning, asking how much the child could be sold for.]

[She also said this is the child of two attractive and highly educated people, with good genes. She urged the other party to emphasize this to the buyer to get a good price.]

[I couldn’t hear what the person on the other end said, but the nanny got excited and said she would immediately call her relative to deliver the goods.]

Xu Ying was shocked at Bai Cuiying’s ruthless nature, not only switching the child but planning to sell someone else’s child.

[I was so angry, and seeing her about to make another call, I immediately pounced and bit the hand holding the phone. In pain, she dropped the phone on the ground.]

Xu Ying patted Hunting Wind’s head, no wonder the first thing it said was to find the phone in the woods: “Sweetheart, you did great!”

[She tried to pick up the phone, so I chased her, running all the way to the garden of the visitor center by the roadside. I was afraid she’d go back for the phone, so I kept circling her, not daring to leave.]

Hunting Wind looked sad, snuggling tightly against Xu Ying, [But, no one could understand me, I was really afraid that after being labeled a vicious dog and killed, she would just go back and call her relatives to sell the child.]

[I heard from companions about dogs being stolen and sold, the owners never finding them again. I was also scared that the little owner would never be found!]

“It’s okay now, everything’s okay now.”

Xu Ying held it, stroking its back, “We’ll find a way to get your little owner back!”

And after five minutes, Chen Su returned with his team, nodded at Xu Ying, and gestured ok, indicating the phone had been found.

Xu Ying held Hunting Wind, the Afghan hound’s coat was long and lush, and in this big sunlight, holding it tightly for so long was quite warm. Upon seeing Chen Su, she quickly said, “Captain Chen, I have a request, after I let go of Hunting Wind, please protect it well. Don’t cage it or treat it as a vicious dog.”

Chen Su nodded, just about to assign someone to protect Hunting Wind, the important witness, when a furious voice rose from the tourists: “No way! This vicious dog bit someone, how can we allow it to stay in the resort and threaten everyone’s safety?”

The person speaking was Boss Jin, the resort’s manager. Behind him, people were holding iron chains, a big cage, electric batons, and dog-catching forks.
