Chapter 1100 - 1031: Breakthrough in a Single Skill
The scene of the five children’s parents arriving at the Yuwan City Bureau to claim their children was deeply moving. However, many of the detectives present naturally noticed that one child’s parents hadn’t come.
"Her parents are just too busy, they really can’t make it. Their workplace won’t even let them take leave," the child’s grandmother explained occasionally to those around her, as though afraid of being misunderstood.
The grandfather held his granddaughter’s hand tightly, his grip unyielding. His expression was heavy and solemn, but he said nothing.
"What kind of work do her parents do that they can’t even ask for leave to do something as important as finding their child?" Tang Jia couldn’t hold back anymore. Walking with purposeful strides, she approached the grandparents, facing them directly.
The grandmother, who had been explaining nonstop, suddenly couldn’t find her words. After her lips quivered twice, she said, "They’re just working for their boss. The boss said if no one could cover their shift, they couldn’t leave. They tried to ask for leave, but in the end, it wasn’t granted."
"If they can’t take leave, they can just quit. Are they being held under house arrest or something?" Tang Jia was clearly frustrated.
"It’s not that bad," the grandmother replied hurriedly. "But now that the child has been found, there’s no need for them to return. They can earn more money where they are and help out later."
Tang Jia was disgusted and said, "What is more important, work or your child? How much money can possibly replace finding your child? Isn’t the lesson from this incident enough?"
"Losing the child this time was mostly our fault," the grandfather said stiffly.
"You can’t take all the blame on yourself. The child is their responsibility. If they gave birth to the child, they should raise her. Now that she’s been found with great difficulty, they won’t even show up? What kind of job could be that important?"
