Chapter 13: The One Hundred Rente Document

  Chapter Thirteen: The One Hundred Rente Document

  The warm sunshine of spring once again quietly poured over the dilapidated giant statue of Sea God Alonso, shining onto the attic where Malong lived.

  The noisy chatter awakened Xiao Anwei, who rubbed his eyes and got up from the hard bed. He raised his arm to look at his well-dressed clothes and knew that... Mom must not have come back last night.

  But Xiao Anwei didn't think too much about it, because in the past when her mother worked as a temporary worker at the garment factory, she often couldn't come back home at night, so last night was probably the same.

  Before Xiao Anwei could think too much, the scorching pain that spread from his face and body to his brain due to standing up made him recall those ruthless beatings inflicted on him by his drunk father last night.

  When I grow up a bit and have more strength, I will learn from Ma Long's brother last night. If my dad dares to bully me and mom, I will kick him hard and tie him up!

  Bearing the pain of wearing shoes that had already exposed her toes, Xiao Anwei made a secret determination.

  Just then, the bedroom door... was pushed open.

  With a complex expression, Ma Long walked in front of Xiao An, who was gazing at him with an obvious look of admiration.

  "Older brother!"

  Xiao Anwei shouted happily.

  "Uh-huh."

  Ma Long merely grunted in response, then crouched down, staring directly into Xiao Anwei's eyes.

  "An Wei, are you willing to live with me, your elder brother, or would you rather live with...Levi-Ian Wan?"

  Ma Long asked, his tone was very sad.

  "Of course, I'll live with Brother Biao!" Xiao Anwei replied without thinking, but immediately he looked puzzled and blinked his eyes: "What about Mom? Won't she be living with us too? Brother Biao, I had a dream last night that Mom and I moved into a beautiful big castle. There were delicious white breads everywhere in the castle, and you wore a little prince's clothes and blocked out rotten Dad from outside the castle."

  Xiao An's innocent words made the sorrow in Ma Long's eyes even more apparent. His mouth moved twice as if he wanted to say something, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't bring himself to say it - he couldn't bear to.

  "Your mom is gone."

  But Ma Long didn't say the words out loud, yet they were still spoken by a police officer who suddenly walked into the bedroom, wearing a brand new uniform, tall and large but with two bright red fluffy ears on his head, expressionless.

  Officer, although Xiao Anwei didn't recognize him, Ma Long knew who he was without even turning around - Hu Li Jing Shu, Bernard Yeberle.

  "She's dead."

  Bernard looked down at Xiao Anwei's face, still filled with confusion, and said the three most cruel words to a child.

  Just as Bernard said, Xiao Anwei's mother really died, dying on the way back home in a hurry at dawn yesterday.

  So, Ma Long, who got up earlier than Xiao An Yu, would see Bernard-Joubert for the third time.

  The current Bernard-Jebril, with a large badge on the left chest, is already the police chief in charge of the slums of White Sand City.

  There was no confusion as Malong had imagined, nor was there a scene where he cried out to exchange his mother back. After clearly hearing the death notice from Officer Bernardo, little Anwei simply looked at Malong with an innocent and naive gaze.

  "Older brother, if mom dies, she'll go to the heavenly kingdom of Goddess Hela and live a happy life, right?"

  Herales goddess is the protector of women and the mother of Xiao Anwei, as well as the aunt of Malong who has always believed in her.

  Ma Long really wanted to tell Xiao Anwei the truth, that the goddess Heralis had long fallen into a deep sleep. But what he ended up saying was: "Yes, your mother is now in the kingdom of Goddess Heralis, living a happy life. So from now on, little Anwei, you will be taken care of by your uncle."

  After listening to Ma Long's answer, Xiao Anwei smiled with tears in her eyes.

  "Little guy, have you really decided to raise this child?"

  Chief Bernard interjected, his large crimson fox ears twitching slightly as he spoke.

  "Yes." Ma Long replied: "This is my responsibility and also my duty."

  Auntie's death was the final blow, and this already shaky family completely fell apart.

  Let's not mention what happened after the crossing, but just talk about Malong's true intentions. He would never allow Xiao An to live a miserable and helpless life.

  That rotten Rednose Ian Wan is absolutely not the kind of person who can suddenly wake up and raise his own son with hardship.

  After listening to Ma Long's answer, Captain Bernard's eyes suddenly softened a lot, but what he said again was: "Little guy, it seems I misjudged you before. However, this is not easy, the child's custody rights are not in your hands, and you do not have the right to take this child out of this house until his father voluntarily signs a written document to give up custody."

  After a pause, Bernard continued to speak: "However, you can rest assured that since I have taken on the role of police chief, I will absolutely not allow any illegal activities to occur in front of me. Your aunt's case will be thoroughly investigated! And even more so, I won't let anyone bully these two children who are left with no one to rely on!"

  Leonard could see that the red-nosed Ian, who was still tied up in the living room by Malone's four horses, was absolutely not a good guy. How could he let Malone succeed so easily?

  "So, next we need to trouble Sergeant Bernard to be a witness for us."

  Ma Long replied that he did not think his request would be rejected by Bernad.

  This kind of thing, Sergeant Bernard, who is both a police chief and a household registration officer, cannot refuse.

  So a moment later, Marlon led Little Ian into the living room, and under the gaze of Inspector Barnard, untied the ropes that had bound Red-nosed Ian all night.

  "You two wretched brats, you're both done for!"

  Just freed Rednose Ian Wan, without exercising his already numb limbs, jumped up and wanted to kick and beat Malong and Xiao Anwei.

  For Ian Wan, being knocked down by a weak and frail young man, tied up for a night, and then seen by the new police chief, had completely lost his face as a man - even in the eyes of Ma Long, he didn't have any face to speak of.

  Just then, Ian's furious fist, raised halfway in preparation for a blow, froze.

  Because in front of Ian Wan, a small pile of green and dazzling things appeared - money!

  "Here are a hundred rand, and as soon as you sign this document, they...are all yours."

  He lightly shook the banknotes in his hand, making a crisp and pleasant rustling sound, but his eyes still filled with disgust.

  Looking at the 100 Rands in Ma Long's hand, Red Nose Ian's expression was unpredictable. He had a mind to stretch out his hand and snatch all the money away, but looking at the new police chief Bernard's obviously unkind eyes, he... backed off.

  "What contract? What document?"

  A document titled "Voluntary Severance of Father-Son Relationship" was handed to Rednose Ivan by Malong.

  "Sign them and I'll give you this hundred rand."
