Chapter 134: Sky Screen Live Broadcast System (9)

Noting the curious gazes of her nephew and niece, after Fu Ying left, Xie Yang said to the two siblings:

"Officer Fu has already helped us a lot, so we shouldn't let her spend any more money. Besides, your aunt came out in a hurry and forgot to bring her medical insurance card. However, a paternity test might not be covered by medical insurance anyway, so I gave her my bank card.

Does our little Chuer not know what a bank card is? It's a card for storing money. You keep your savings in the card, and when you need to use it, you just take the card and swipe it. Isn't that very convenient?

But there's something even more convenient now. See that uncle over there? He's paying at the self-service machine, but he's not using a bank card; he's using a mobile phone."

The amount of information in this statement was too vast!

Not only did Xie Jilin need some time to digest it, but the audience in the Daliang Kingdom were also left completely bewildered:

【Isn't it a money shop that stores money? Can such a thin card really store money? Where is the money?】

【What is a medical insurance card?】

【And what is a 'beast-chicken'?】

While the Daliang People were heatedly discussing this, Fu Ying returned with the blood test slip issued by the doctor.

Xie Yang patted the two children on their heads and said soothingly, "It will hurt a little bit when they draw blood in a moment, but it will be very fast, so don't be afraid."

Xie Jilin nodded.

Blood-dripping to verify kinship—although he had never seen it with his own eyes, he had heard a word or two about it when the maids and nannies serving around him chatted about gossip outside the manor; he thought it required slicing a small cut on the fingertip.

"What a well-behaved little one! Not crying or making a fuss, and even actively cooperating! Truly wonderful!"

The nurse in the hematology department held a syringe, patted Xie Jilin's small hand to comfort him, then rolled his wide ancient-style sleeve up to his elbow and picked up the syringe to draw a tube of blood.

That was it?

It hurt a little, but what about the blood?

Shouldn't they have used a bowl to catch it?

How can one perform blood-dripping to verify kinship with a sealed little tube the size of a pinky finger?

Xie Jilin looked up at the nurse in confusion.

It made the nurse laugh!

Xiao Jinchu didn't know that drawing blood would hurt. Seeing her brother extend his arm for the nurse auntie to prick him, she also stretched out her little arm and urged, "Brother is done, it's Jinchu's turn now!"

"Haha!"

The nurse was even more amused; she had never seen such a cooperative child.

With a quick motion, she pricked her and drew a small tube of blood.

By the time Xiao Jinchu realized the pain, her mouth puckered, and just as she was about to cry with teary eyes, the nurse had already finished nimbly and taken a box of wedding candies from the drawer:

"Here! A reward for our two brave little ones! These are my colleague's wedding candies; you two try some too, and share in the joy."

"Candy?"

The two tears welling in Xiao Jinchu's eyes ultimately never had the chance to fall.

Xie Yang divided three candies for each of the siblings.

In this day and age, wedding candies aren't about quantity, but quality.

Don't look at the fact that there were only six in a box; each one was exquisite and expensive, immediately capturing the two little fans from ancient times, who even treated the beautiful candy box as a treasure.

【Is this the blood-dripping to verify kinship in the Heavenly Palace world? Why didn't they mix the three people's blood together on the spot?】

【I heard them say they were getting off work. What does 'getting off work' mean? I saw the counter next to them pull down a curtain; is this closing up shop?】

【Since the blood was already drawn, how much effort could it take to get a bowl?】

【Perhaps they were afraid of missing the Curfew Time.】

【Whoa! Is it already this dark outside? Why are there still so many square boxes and pedestrians on the road? Does the Heavenly Palace not have a curfew?】

【Can those two-wheeled things run without people pushing them? And the speed is so fast! How is that done?】

【Are those lanterns on the road? So bright!】

【The tall buildings in the distance also have lights; some light up, some go dark, flickering like stars. Could it be that the stars we see when we look up are just these lights of the Heavenly Palace?】

【Oh my! It's already dark! Time to go home, time to go home!】

The time in Daliang is the same as the Sky Screen.

When the Sky Screen opened, it was before noon, attracting all the people of the dynasty to look up in wonder, and this look lasted until evening.

Those with servants at home didn't lack a ready-made meal upon returning.

But the vast majority were the common people at the bottom; they were so busy watching the Sky Screen that they didn't get much work done. The husbands who bore the burden of the family's livelihood felt guilty, and the wives responsible for the three daily meals, laundry, and cleaning didn't fare much better.

They expected to be scolded, but as it turned out, both sides were in the same boat; the couple looked at each other and smiled, which, in a way, actually strengthened their marital bond.

Amidst the curling smoke from cooking fires, all parts of Daliang entered the dinner stage.

Yet even while eating, everyone couldn't help but look up at the firmament.

Those with the means ordered servants to light lanterns and move the dining table to the garden; those without, holding their rice bowls, squatted under the eaves or in the courtyard, looking up at the Sky Screen while shoveling down their dinner.

【What kind of place is this? It's so bright!】

【Didn't you hear the Little Marquis's aunt say it? It's a hotel. It sounds like a place to stop for a meal, just like an inn.】

【This is much more imposing than an inn! It's so dark outside, yet the room is as bright as day. With jade for walls and gold for pillars, I fear even the Imperial Palace isn't this luxurious!】

【What is that in the middle? A lamp? But why are there no candle flames? And it's so bright! Our Laoguogong has poor eyesight; he has to burn a room full of candles to get up at night, and it's not even this bright.】

Xie Jilin held his aunt's hand, looking up at the luxurious crystal chandelier hanging in the center of the hotel lobby, his little head also pondering this question: Even the Emperor Uncle's sleeping quarters aren't this bright!

Xie Yang had booked a family room in a resort hotel near the Film and Television City, with one two-meter large bed and one 1.35-meter small castle bed, enough for the three of them to stay.

"Thank you, Officer Fu, you've worked hard today! Accompanying us here and there, you didn't even have time to drink water. We were going to have dinner together..."

"No, it wouldn't look good." Fu Ying waved her hand with a smile, "Besides, there's a meeting at the Police Station tonight, and I'm responsible for taking the minutes."

She helped push the luggage and saw Xie Yang and the two children to the Elevator: "I won't go up then. When the paternity test results come out tomorrow, I'll have to trouble you to come to the Police Station to sign for them."

Logically speaking, before the test results were out, Xie Yang shouldn't have been allowed to take the two children away.

But the children were still too young, and leaving them at the Police Station wasn't the right thing to do. As for taking them home to care for them... she would have been very willing, but the two children had to be willing as well.

Looking at the siblings, upon hearing they were to be separated, one clutched Xie Yang's neck tightly while the other held her hand firmly, their eyes revealing nervousness and bewilderment, as if the Police Station were the villain, so she decided not to play the bad guy.

After reporting to Captain Chen, she kept the body-worn camera on the entire time, accompanied Xie Yang to the hotel to check in, and recorded the whole process for the file, without forcibly separating the aunt and her two niece and nephew.

"I definitely have to come by once."

Xie Yang nodded upon hearing this, and even planned to send a silk banner to the Police Station.

Additionally, she also wanted to thank Chen Sisi in person.

Although she had made arrangements, even if her niece and nephew were still drugged and taken away by human traffickers just as they were in the original world, she was confident she could rescue them, but it certainly wouldn't have gone as smoothly as it did today.
