My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 39

At this moment, a strong knocking was heard from the door, “This is the police! Open up!”

When Lu Yong had returned to the study the first time, Dabao had hid behind the sofa and called 110 using the portable phone.

Lu Yong stopped in his tracks when he heard the police.

He was in jail for intentional assault, and it had only been a few months since his release. If he were to be caught by the police again, he would be sent right back to jail once more.

If he’d spent another few more years in jail, Luo Fei might marry someone else.

“Mister, the police won’t arrest you if you don’t hurt me.” Dabao said tremblingly.

Lu Yong was in confusion and had run out of ideas.

He wasn’t a smart person to begin with, otherwise he wouldn’t have been used as a gun for hire by Luo Fei like that.

“If you hurt me, you won’t get out of here either. If you open the door, I’ll tell the police that you’re just a deliveryman.”

Dabao was shaking heavily but bit hard on his lips to keep himself from crying.

“Whoever’s inside, I’ll count to five! If you don’t open the door by then, I’ll break it down!”

The policeman outside started counting down.

“Mister, go open the door and you’ll be fine.”

In a state of panic, Lu Yong tossed the knife aside and opened the door.

The police rushed in and Dabao felt a sense of relief. His legs finally gave way and he slumped onto the floor with tears rolling down his cheeks.

“Don’t be afraid, kids. It’s alright now.”

The police officer had never seen such a beautiful child in his life. He picked him up and comforted him softly.

Before he was done with one, another came running out of the study crying.

“And this is…?”

Both the police and Lu Yong who had been put in handcuffs were stunned.

……

During lunch break, Ning Ran switched on her phone and saw over ten missed calls.

Three of which, were from home. She got worried and called home but no one answered.

She got even more worried as there was still no answer.

She called Cheng Xiangyun. Cheng Xiangyun told her that she was visiting the school today and had forgotten her phone in her car, so she didn’t hear it ring. She said she was rushing home now as she too, felt something had happened.

The other missed calls were from unknown numbers, so Ning Ran tried calling them back.

It was the police. They told her that her children are at the station and told her to come collect them.

As Ning Ran burst into the police station all out of breath, she saw several policemen surrounding her two angels.

Erbao was stuffing her mouth with the food given by the police as she chatted away with them. Thanks to the food, she had recovered quickly from her traumatic state.

Dabao sat quietly next to his sister, showing no emotion.

“My angels, are you alright?” Ning Ran’s tears started to fall.

“Mommy……” Erbao came running and threw herself on Ning Ran.

Dabao was less aggressive, and just snuggled next to his mommy.

“Your kids were very smart! Had they not bought us enough time to get there, the consequences would be dire.” The policeman said.

“Who’s trying to hurt my children?”

“The suspect who broke into the room has been arrested on the spot. However, he does not admit to hurting the child, nor did he tell us his motives. We are still investigating this case.”

“Thank you so much, ma’am! Sweetie, have you thanked the police officers?” Ning Ran said as she wiped her tears.

“Yes, I have.” Erbao said in her usual childish voice, “She bought me a lot of food!”

To Erbao, this was the most important part.

“Ms. Ning, I have to say this, no matter how busy you are with work, you can’t leave your child alone at home like this! They’re still so young, it’s too dangerous!” The pretty policewoman said.

“Yes, it’s my fault. I’m so sorry about this. I was busy contacting the school. I’m so sorry, it’s all my fault…” Ning Ran started to tear up again.

“Don’t cry, mommy. We’re fine! Big brother was really awesome! He was there to protect me!” Erbao reached out and wiped the tears from Ning Ran’s eyes as she comforted her.

Dabao didn’t say a word. He nodded vigorously with a strong look in his eyes.

With such children, Ning Ran couldn’t hold it in anymore. She hugged them tightly and rocked them strongly in her embrace.

As they were done filling up the paperwork, Cheng Xiangyun had rushed over to the station as well.

The pretty policewoman loved the two kids so much that she personally saw them off at the door, and advised Ning Ran to have them go through counselling.

A traumatic experience like this would’ve cast a shadow in the child’s heart, leaving behind a psychological illness. It may not show now, but it could affect the child’s life forever.

Only through professional counseling, would such a trauma be removed.

She then handed Ning Ran a phone number, and told her that it was a really good psychologist who had worked with the police for a long time. She advised Ning Ran to bring them to him.

Ning Ran thanked the police as she got into Cheng Xiangyun’s car with the kids.

“It’s all my fault… I couldn’t find a suitable school even after calling up so many of them.” “None of this would’ve happened if they were at school.” Cheng Xiangyun kept blaming herself.

“It’s not Aunt Xiang’s fault! It’s the bad guys!” Erbao said.

“No, I’m to blame. I shouldn’t have just left them at home like that.” Ning Ran said.

“We really need to find them a school. In the worst case scenario, we’ll just send them to a normal private kindergarten first.” Cheng Xiangyun sighed.

“This is our only option for now.” Ning Ran said.

At this moment, the director’s called and urged Ning Ran to get back on set.

So the two split up. Cheng Xiangyun took the children for psychological counseling, while Ning Ran returned to work.
