Maybe her family is rich, or her boyfriend is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not new—back in his past life, he’d seen many women with ordinary jobs but wealthy backgrounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me finish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Tuotuo kept her gaze fixed on the nurses’ station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a nurse was writing at the counter, also wearing a women’s watch on her wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That nurse’s watch is an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak—more expensive than the other nurse’s.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And her brooch is a Huaying—any piece from that brand costs at least ten thousand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Yu Dazhang couldn’t sit still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re sure you didn’t misread?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No mistake,” Qu Tuotuo said quickly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a close friend named Su Mi—you saw her at the matchmaking corner. Her biggest hobby is studying luxury accessories. I’ve accompanied her to physical stores many times.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is one difference between men and women—their focus is entirely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Yu Dazhang’s eyes, all nurses looked the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White uniforms, white caps, white shoes—during work, you never saw them wearing jewelry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watches and brooches? He never paid attention, and he couldn’t tell anything special about them anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why girls need to be raised with wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wealth in perspective, nourishment in vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even children from ordinary families should be exposed to the world as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, they should at least eat lobster and abalone once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s this called?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might not afford it, but you can’t have never tried it… that’s vision!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Tuotuo could spot at a glance that the watch and brooch weren’t cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang had been here over two days and hadn’t noticed a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s the gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be…” Yu Dazhang hesitated:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That both of them come from wealthy families?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How would I know?” Qu Tuotuo snapped back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just think it’s overly showy for nurses to wear watches at this price point.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really is showy… Yu Dazhang agreed with Qu Tuotuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And both nurses were like this—it wasn’t likely coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, Ma Jian walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dazhang, if you’ve got something to do, go ahead and leave—I can handle this alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way,” Yu Dazhang replied without hesitation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I appreciate the thought, but I don’t have a habit of abandoning my post.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team has been kind to him, but he knew he couldn’t cross ethical lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since Qu Tuotuo had just arrived—he couldn’t just leave her alone like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Ma Jian meant well; he probably thought Qu Tuotuo was his girlfriend and wanted to give them privacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he dared not accept such kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You should go back first,” Yu Dazhang said to Qu Tuotuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, how can you do that?” Qu Tuotuo protested, her clear eyes flashing with anger:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just helped you, and now you’re kicking me out? Is that how you treat people?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You said you’d just take one look and leave—how’d you change your mind?… Yu Dazhang patiently reasoned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m here on duty, and this place is noisy. You should go back and rest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Tuotuo had truly helped him—that’s why he couldn’t just shoo her away bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You don’t kick out the donkey after the mill’s done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me stay a little longer,” Qu Tuotuo said, glancing toward the ward, a flicker of worry in her eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We don’t know how the patient is doing yet. I’ll leave once I know she’s okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang nodded and stopped urging her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, he’d seen a man in a baseball cap hurry past the stairwell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he passed the pediatric corridor, he glanced toward them twice. The cap hid his face, but Yu Dazhang recognized his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Same style, same color, as the man in the surveillance footage—Liu Ying’s father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus the height and build…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You finally showed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least change your clothes—you make me feel no sense of accomplishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a garden behind the hospital, a woman stood still, gazing up at a fourth-floor window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Figures occasionally passed by the window; watching them, her eyes slowly moistened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remained motionless, head tilted upward, until footsteps approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did she slowly lower her head and wipe away her tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t see anything from the corridor,” a man in a baseball cap said beside her, voice low:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry too much—the fact that people are entering the child’s room means the doctors haven’t stopped treatment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please... collect 6...9...books....com....!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The garden lights were dim, but the woman could still see the fleeting anxiety on the man’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither seemed to want the other to see their expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So whenever they got close, they avoided each other’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know,” the woman took a deep breath, forcing her voice steady:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our daughter will be fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded like she was reassuring him—but it was more like she was comforting herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, neither spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood shoulder to shoulder, silent and motionless, staring at the fourth-floor window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seconds ticked by…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fat hand slapped the man’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man jolted and turned…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fatty stood behind him, glaring angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the fatty was another man, face stern, equally displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?” the man asked vaguely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Police,” Yu Dazhang replied directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing those two words, the man’s legs buckled—he nearly collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the woman remained calm, immediately grabbing his arm to steady him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… I know I committed a crime,” the man stammered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was all my idea. Arrest me. Punish me however you want—but don’t punish my wife. The child can’t be left without any family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re quite considerate of others,” Yu Dazhang grabbed his collar:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I weren’t a cop, I’d beat you senseless today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Jian saw him about to overstep and rushed over, pulling his arm to separate them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, follow me upstairs,” Yu Dazhang glared at the man, then turned to the woman:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In cases like this, the nature of the crime depends on circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the child had been abandoned in a remote, uninhabited area, it would be unquestionably criminal—abandonment charges would be mild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in cases like this—where parents can’t afford treatment and leave a sick child at the hospital—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once located, authorities first negotiate. If the unpaid bills are settled, usually nothing further happens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they can’t pay, the hospital sues them in court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they have the means but refuse to care for the child, and the circumstances are severe, they face criminal liability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two made their decision under duress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the hospital debt has now been fully settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hospital will certainly not pursue it further; the decision now rests with Yu Dazhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, they heard not only had the overdue fees been paid, but an additional sum had been pre-deposited; the couple immediately dropped to their knees before Yu Dazhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey hey hey, don’t do that!” Yu Dazhang grabbed each by an arm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve got to pay me back—what’s this about?
