For Su Bei, the incident has come to the end, but on the school side it still not over. In the school conference room, the principal and several teachers were arguing over Su Bei's matter.
"It's almost time for school inspection. Whether Su Bei's rumor on internet was true or false, the impact would still very bad and may directly affect our school comprehensive score this time."
"So Teacher Li, your suggestion is? "
"My suggestion is to temporarily suspend Su Bei from school. If she was absent, on one hand, will avoid the possibility of further conflict with other students, and on the other hand, if education bureau asked us about this matter we can tell them that it was a prank done by some students, and that our school has severely dealt with the students involved by making them reflect at home."
Teacher Li's suggestion made the head teacher frowned: "I disagree. This kind of treatment wouldn't cure the symptoms, and also very unfair to Su Bei."
"This is not the time to discuss fairness. What we should consider now is how to deal with the inspection from education bureau. "
"Mr. Li is right. Temporarily suspend the student from school also for her own sake. After experiencing that kind of incident, it is just right to let her properly rest at home, so she can adjust her mental state."
"But from how I see her, Su Bei is in good condition, and her grade also especially good. This kind of student also has a role in enhancing school's comprehensive score."
"But Su Bei just one student, a single student grade isn't going to greatly affect the scoring value." The teacher paused. "Moreover, Su Bei and Su Xiaobao household registration also has a problem?"
Of course, this kind of problem left over from the past wouldn't be able to be solved in short time.
"How about Su Bei's studies?"
"She could take supplemental lesson, and we don't have any intention to let her quit school or be suspended for a long time. Just let her temporarily stay at home, having the time for some adjustment, then after school inspection over, she could come back to class...."
——
When the teachers busily discussed whether to temporarily suspend Su Bei, she and Su Xiaobao already said goodbye to the old house they lived in for fourteen years. Carrying their luggage, the twins departed on their journey to B city.
First they ride a minibus from the village for an hour, then after arrived in the county seat, they transferred bus twice to the train station. Until they got on the train, although there were some twist and turns along the way, their journey relatively smooth.
On the way, there was a small episode. Sitting in the seat next to Su Bei was a man in his early forties. He dressed poshly and has been staring at Su Bei since they entered the train. The way that man look at Su Bei displeased Su Xiaobao. A nameless fire was burning in his chest.
If they were at school and there was an ignorant boy who dare to look at Su Bei like this, Su Xiaobao would already beat the crap out of the other party. However, he recalled Su Bei's strict warnings before they departed, so Su Xiaobao could only clenched his fists and finally held back his anger.
"Su Bei, you sit inside." Su Xiaobao got up and changed seats with Su Bei.
"Okay. Su Xiaobao, you too sit inside." Su Bei pulled Su Xiaobao and moved to the seat inside: "Turn your head, don't look over there."
Although he understood her intention, Su Xiaobao still felt a bit odd: "I'm a boy. Don't be afraid."
"You don't understand."
These days, not only girls are vulnerable to danger, but also boys. Seeing the siblings precaution, the man sitting on the side didn't seem to care. Instead, he licked the corner of his mouth and smiled 'amicably' to Su Bei.
In Su Bei's eyes, his smile only looked wretched.
"You get in more." A little further away from that wretched man.
Su Bei pulled Su Xiaobao back to her side. Fortunately, the man did not get off at the same station as them. When they train stopped at the north of B city, the man got off. On his way, he stopped near Su Bei's seat.
"Are you still a minor?" The man asked, raising his eyebrow at the girl.
"A little couple running away from home?"
Su Bei: "..."
Su Xiaobao: "..." He really want to beat this wretched man to death!
Seeing the two kids lowered their heads and ignored him, the man didn't feel embarrassed. Still smiling, he took a businesscard out of the wallet and put it on the schoolbag Su Bei held on her lap.
"Introducing, my surname is Ou. You can contact me if you have any difficulties. Of course, you can also contact me for something else." The man left his business card and walk away, still with the vulgar smile that he thought charming.
Looking down, Su Bei glanced at the word 'director' on the business card. Because of that dream, Su Bei extremely disgusted with the words 'director'. Moreover, if the man is really a well-known, big director, then he should travel with an airplane or a business class in high-speed rail car. How could he ride this kind of common train with green leather seat? She was almost certain that the man was a scammer, and specialized in deceiving young girls.
As if looking at something disgusting, Su Bei stretched out two fingers, picked up the corner of the business card, and without any care immediately threw it into the trash bag in front of her seat. Seeing Su Bei's disgusted look, Su Xiaobao snorted lightly : "Earlier, why did you hold me back?"
If Su Bei hadn't been pulling the elastic band on his pants so he couldn't stand up, he would have rushed to beat the man.
"If I didn't do that wouldn't you already rush over? What if your fight attracted the train crew?"
The train ticket they used was bought by Su Bei at a high price from a scalper. Needless to say, if a train crew came to check their ticket, it would be them who got into trouble. Listening to Su Bei's words, Su Xiaobao pursed his lips and lowered his head.
"That man is really in B city?" As he looked at the tall building flashing through the windows, Su Xiaobao dazedly asked.
'That man' refers to the man who provided two little tadpoles for their birth. He didn't understand why Su Bei suddenly wanted to find that person, but since Su Bei wanted to go, he shouldn't hinder her, so he could only go with her.
"Yes." Su Bei's answered affirmably.
"How do you know?"
"I saw him in my dream."
Su Xiaobao: "..."
Why did he feel like he was going to be sold by Su Bei?
"Okay, don't think too much, I won't lie to you, just hold on and we will be there in 20 minutes." Su Bei patted Su Xiaobao's head.
After 20 minutes, the train arrived at the terminal in B station. The moment her feet landed on the land after they got off the train, Su Bei was relieved. God knows how nervous was she along the way. Everytime she heard the sound of footsteps in the train car, she was like a startled bird, afraid that train crew would suddenly come to check their tickets.
It's okay now, they finally arrived!
Squeezing the two train tickets in her hand, Su Bei didn't have much time to be happy. Right at that moment she saw several station staff with a man wearing police uniform coming over and stopped in front of them.
"Excuse me, please show us your ticket."
"No ticket?"
"It's here..."
The policeman took the tickets from Su Bei. He looked at the information printed on it, and then examining two young kids in front of him.
"Luo Xiaohong? Zhang Erniu? Is it your names?"
"Yes." Her tone subtly higher.
"You are 88 years old?"
"..." Su Bei couldn't answer.
Seeing her stance, the policeman's eyes flashed. "Both of you, come with us." He took Su Bei and Su Xiaobao to the police box in train station for further interrogation.
"You departed from N county?"
"Yes."
"Where did you buy these tickets?"
"Bought from a scalper."
"You know they are scalper, but still dare to buy? Don't you know the regular way purchase a ticket?"
If wasn't for their colleague who caught a group of scalper, they wouldn't know that this shift would have two passengers with problematic ticket. On top of that, they are actually two children. The ticket checking system in a small county wasn't too strict, so the obvious flaw wasn't found there, enabled these children to ride the train.
"What's your name? Real name."
"Su Bei."
"Su Xiaobao."
"Age?"
"14."
"Do you have an ID card?"
Su Bei shook her head.
"What about the household registration book?"
Su Bei shook her head again. Then she took out a note stamped with their village committee seal from her schoolbag, and handed it to the police. After reading the contents of the note, the police looked at Su Bei and Su Xiaobao. He was surprised. "You don't even have an household registration?"
"For the time being," Su Bei responded.
That year, Grandma Wang decided to raise the twins, but didn't considered the issue of household registration. In their village, there are many children without household registration. In the next few years, one after another solved this problem. Unfortunately, Su Bei and Su Xiaobao turn was come only after Grandma Wang's death. Thus created another problem. If they have been registered, then Su Bei doesn't have to spend so much money to buy ticket from a scalper.
"What are you doing in B city?" Running away from home? Meeting online friend?
Seeing the two children who keep silent, the police directly continued: "How about your family? Do you have your guardian contact information?"
"None"
"What?"
"Our guardian has passed away."
"So now both of you not only don't have a household registration, even your guardian also passed away?" The police once again confirmed their answers. As he rarely encountered such a difficult case, he couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, Su Bei spoke again: "About that, uncle, we still have a dad, we came to B city just to find our dad."
If she didn't speak, they most probably would be sent back.
"You said your father was in B city?"
"Yes, previously we lived with our grandmother in the countryside. Before she passed away, she let us come to B city to find our dad."
Su Bei's statement is also reasonable and more in line with the general situation of many left-behind children. When the policeman looked at Su Bei and Su Xiaobao again, there was some sympathy in his eyes: "Don't worry, if your father is in B city, uncle will definitely help you find him."
"Do you know your father's name?"
"Qin Shao."
Qin Shao? The name sounds familiar.
The policeman entered 'Qin Shao' name on public security system, a total of 236 search results popped up.
"Do you know any other information? For example, where is your dad's household registration and where is his workplace?"
"The household registration should be in B city, and he works in Qin Group."
After he redo the search with additional clues provided by Su Bei, the result popped up made him stunned.
No wonder the name sounds familiar.
——There is only one person called Qin Shao who works in Qin Group, and that is the chairman of Qin Group! The famous Mr. Qin from B city!
The policeman face sank. He then looked at Su Bei and Su Xiaobao : "If you really want to find your dad, you must provide me with real information. If you continue to make up lies, then we can only ..."
"All I say is true" After he finished talking, Su Bei replied with serious expression. "I also know dad's address. He live in Shangcheng district in B city..."
The policeman subconsciously compared the address Su Bei gave with Qin Shao's information in public security system.
Exactly the same.
A person like Qin Shao will never disclosed such information like the location of household registration and home address to the public. So it's unlikely that these children made up some nonsense from the information they casually found on internet. So there is only one possibility- they did not lie.
When the policeman looked at Su Bei and Su Xiaobao again, his expressions changed. Originally he was simply investigating a case of scalper ticket purchasing, but he didn't expect to find two left-behind children looking for their father. Then he intended to help these two left-behind children finding their biological father, but didn't expect to be involved in a real life dog blood drama!
