Chapter 739 The Right to Choose to Return to One's Original Family
Xia Zhiwei was lost in memories, his shoulders slumped, and his face was filled with pain. "Lulu was only two years old at the time. One day she suddenly started coughing. We thought it was just a normal cough, so we gave her some children's cough medicine..."

"I thought I would get better soon, but my cough worsened the next day and I started to have a high fever that night."

"Later, after going to the hospital to see a doctor and undergoing tests, I found out it was a lung infection..."

"We actively sought treatment, going to the hospital every day, thinking that as long as we treated her properly, she would recover quickly. But we never expected that Lulu's condition would worsen day by day, with no signs of improvement whatsoever!"

Xia Zhiwei raised his hand to wipe away his tears and snot. "She's so small, her body is covered in bruises and needle marks. She can't eat, and she vomits as soon as she drinks milk. I watched helplessly as she went from a chubby little girl weighing 30 pounds to 20 pounds!"

He trembled uncontrollably, buried his face in his hands, and sobbed with heart-wrenching grief: "Only half a month... my Lulu... is gone!"

Looking at his grief-stricken appearance, Fang Yue felt a pang of sympathy in his eyes, pursed his lips, and said, "I'm sorry for bringing up your painful memories."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "But we also follow the procedures, and I hope you can understand."

Lu Shaoze, who was sitting next to Fang Yue, got up and handed him a pack of tissues.

Xia Zhiwei grabbed two tissues and wiped his face haphazardly, then sniffed and said, "If I explain everything clearly, can you let my Xiao Quan go back?"

"These are two separate matters," Fang Yue said helplessly. "Let's continue with Xia Lu's story. Through what channels did you adopt her?"

“With Lulu gone, my wife’s spirits have also vanished,” Xia Zhiwei said, his eyes unfocused. “She cries whenever she thinks of Lulu, and she’s been to the hospital twice because of it.”

“At that time, a relative visited my wife and felt that things couldn’t go on like this. He was afraid that if the child was lost, my wife would also be lost. So he mentioned it to me and suggested that I adopt a daughter who was about the same age.”

"When I heard this, I thought it made sense, so I asked someone to inquire and see if there were any families with too many daughters to raise."

Fang Yue frowned. "Who did you ask?"

Xia Zhiwei: "It's about finding matchmakers. They travel around a lot and know a lot of people."

"What is your name?"

"I don't know her specific name, I only know that people call her Sister Huang."

Did you pay them when you adopted Xia Lu?

Xia Zhiwei stammered, "I guess you could say I gave it to her. It was a red envelope that the matchmaker asked for. She said she also gets red envelopes when she introduces people to potential partners."

Fang Yue: "Give me Sister Huang's contact information."

Xia Zhiwei looked troubled: "I lost her contact information a long time ago. I've changed so many phones, and I haven't seen her since."

Fang Yue's expression was cold and stern. "Then do you know that the child was abducted by human traffickers?"

"I don't know." Xia Zhiwei hurriedly explained, "I really don't know. I thought it was because poor families had too many daughters and didn't want them. There were other people in our neighborhood who adopted a child from Sister Huang, just like me. They even said the two children were biological sisters."

"My wife and I chose Xia Lu because she looked about the same age as Lu Lu."

Fang Yue stared at him, his eyes scrutinizing and examining him, as if trying to discern the truthfulness of his words.

Xia Zhiwei broke out in a cold sweat under his gaze and couldn't help but say, "Officer, I've told you everything I know. Can you let me go?"

Fang Yue said calmly, "Xia Lu's biological family has come and will reunite with her." Xia Zhiwei frowned and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean? Do they want to take Xia Lu back? That won't do. We've raised her with so much care and effort over the years. How can they just take her back like that?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yue's expression hardened, and his eyes sharpened: "Xia Zhiwei, you need to understand one thing. The procedures for your adoption of Xia Lu were illegal. She was an abducted child, and both legally and morally, she has the right to choose to return to her birth family."

"How can that be?" Xia Zhiwei immediately showed his dissatisfaction. "If she goes back to her old home, wouldn't all the effort we've put into raising her over the years be wasted?"

"Think carefully about the pros and cons yourself." Fang Yue's tone was cold. "If Xia Lu's family files a lawsuit, you may be held accountable for illegal adoption and could face imprisonment."

Xia Zhiwei's face turned pale and then red in an instant. He said angrily, "So, by supporting Xia Lu, I not only lost money and energy, but I also broke the law?"

Fang Yue said decisively, "Therefore, you have to abide by laws and regulations in everything you do."

Xia Zhiwei's face turned ashen, and he was speechless for a moment.

Fang Yue stood up. "Alright, you can go now."

Xia Zhiwei followed him out of the interrogation room, his head hanging low, his hands clenched tightly at his sides, his heart filled with resentment and frustration.

But he also knew that this wasn't the most important thing right now.

Xia Zhiwei looked up and around, his gaze landing on Bai Yannan. He hurried over and asked, "Officer, can my Xiao Quan go now?"

Bai Yannan turned his head to look at him, a regretful smile appearing on his lips: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, Xia Quan can't leave."

Xia Zhiwei frowned and asked urgently, "No, why can't my Xiao Quan leave?"

Bai Yannan explained, "Xia Quan has already admitted that he intentionally harmed Wei Aocong."

"What?" Xia Zhiwei's eyes widened in horror, his voice filled with disbelief. "How could this be? Xiao Quan clearly said it was an accident..."

Bai Yannan shrugged. "Xia Quan said Wei Aocong stole his girlfriend."

"So did Wei Aocong steal Xiao Quan's girlfriend?" Xia Lu looked at Jiang Xiaoli nervously.

Although Xia Quan is not her biological brother, they have lived together for so many years, and Xia Lu still subconsciously worries about him.

“We asked Liu Jiayan, and she said she wasn’t Xia Quan’s girlfriend at all,” Jiang Xiaoli said helplessly. “It was Xia Quan who was harassing her, and Wei Aocong only stepped in to help her get rid of Xia Quan’s harassment.”

Fu Xiaoxiao sighed, "This Wei Aocong is so pitiful."

"Yes," Jiang Yuan sighed, "How are his eyes?"

Jiang Xiaoli said regretfully, "The child's eyeball was saved, but the cornea was severely damaged, and he has basically lost his ability to see."

"What a pity." Jiang Yuan frowned, her slender eyebrows furrowing, a look of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

"How many years will Xiao Quan have to sit here?" Xia Lu asked.

Jiang Xiaoli slowly said, "According to the Criminal Law, this situation is punishable by a sentence of not less than three years but not more than ten years. If he has a good attitude in admitting his guilt and is under the age of eighteen, the court should give him leniency in the final sentencing."
