The Personal Bodyguard of the Female CEO
Chapter 412 - 412 411 Love of a Mother

412: Chapter 411 Love of a Mother 412: Chapter 411 Love of a Mother Cao Ying’s face suddenly became covered with a frosty layer.

After Yang Li had stolen cosmetics from the company last time, she had let her off with a warning, but Yang Li didn’t mend her ways and committed the same act again.

Previously, she had pleaded with Wang Dadong on behalf of Yang Li, assuring that Yang Li would not reoffend.

But how much time had passed?

Just two days, and Yang Li had started stealing cosmetics from the company again!

Moreover, she had become even more brazen; this time, the cosmetics she stole were even more numerous than before!

How could someone be so shameless?

“Brother Wang, let’s call the police now and arrest this shameless thief!” Cao Ying was filled with indignant rage.

Yang Li had betrayed her trust.

“Let’s go find her first; she probably hasn’t gone far.”

Wang Dadong, however, showed little change in expression.

The fact that Yang Li had reoffended was something he had anticipated, and he would have found it strange if Yang Li had stopped stealing.

Soon, the two of them intercepted Yang Li at the bus station.

Yang Li’s family was not wealthy to begin with, and to pay for her daughter’s medical treatment, they had exhausted all their savings and even incurred considerable debt, naturally leaving only the bus for transportation.

This time, Yang Li’s expression upon seeing Wang Dadong and Cao Ying was completely different from before.

Last time, it was anxiety, dread, and fear.

This time, it was calm.

“Yang Li, you’ve deeply disappointed me.

Have you no shame?” Cao Ying scolded righteously.

“Manager Cao, you’re right to scold me.

I, Yang Li, am indeed a woman without shame.

Could you let me see my daughter one more time?” A shade of sadness flickered across Yang Li’s calm face.

“Hmph, I already gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it.

Don’t blame me for being heartless.

I’m calling the police right now to arrest you, you disgraceful thief!” Cao Ying said and reached for her phone to call the police.

But Wang Dadong reached out to stop her.

“Let her go.”

Cao Ying looked at Wang Dadong with confusion and incomprehension.

Last time, it was Brother Wang who wanted to call the police, and she was the one who persuaded him to give Cao Ying a chance.

But this time, when she had decided to call the police immediately, it was Wang Dadong who was persuading her not to.

Brother Wang really was an enigmatic person.

“Fine, Yang Li, don’t say we’re uncompassionate.

Go see your daughter, but after you’ve seen her, you must come with us to the police station,” Cao Ying coldly commanded.

Even though she felt sympathy for Yang Li’s plight, she had her principles.

She had already broken her principles once for Yang Li; this time, she was resolute in not showing leniency.

“Thank you, thank you so much!” Yang Li kept bowing deeply to the two of them.

Cao Ying shook her head, feeling anger but also pity for Yang Li.

After hailing a taxi, the three of them got in and headed for the hospital where Yang Li’s daughter was being treated.

Upon entering the ward, Yang Li’s sorrow was swiftly suppressed, and she adopted a tender, loving smile instead.

On the hospital bed lay an eight-year-old girl, extremely emaciated, her complexion very pale, and an oxygen tube attached to her nose.

“Xiao Zhen, mommy’s here to see you.

Did you miss mommy?” Yang Li knelt in front of the bed, reaching out to hold the little girl’s hand.

But no matter how Yang Li called, the girl showed no response.

Seeing this scene, both Cao Ying and Wang Dadong felt their noses tingle as Yang Li’s daughter had fallen into a coma.

“Don’t worry, Xiao Zhen, you will be fine soon.”

“No matter what, Mommy will stay with you.”

…

Yang Li clenched her daughter’s hand, already unable to hold back her tears.

Wang Dadong gently tugged at Cao Ying’s sleeve, and the two stepped out of the ward.

Once outside the ward, Cao Ying began to sob.

“Brother Wang, I just can’t bring myself to send Yang Li to jail…” Women, after all, are emotional creatures; seeing the condition of Yang Li’s daughter softened Cao Ying’s heart again.

Wang Dadong said nothing, just pulled out a cigarette and began to smoke.

“Brother Wang, how did you know that Yang Li would offend again?” Cao Ying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked.

“Let me tell you a story,” Wang Dadong said, avoiding Cao Ying’s question and speaking indifferently.

“After being captured, pangolins always curl up tightly out of fear or a defensive instinct, forming a ball.

When selling pangolins, the seller usually stretches them out forcefully before slicing them open, discarding the internal organs, and cleaning the body.

But once, when a seller was preparing to kill a pangolin, he struggled to straighten its curled body, no matter how hard he tried.

He threw the pangolin onto the ground, not expecting any issue, but even after several throws, as fresh red blood seeped from its mouth, the body remained closed tight, curling even tighter.

The seller was still not willing to give up and used iron tongs to hold it over a brazier to roast.

Despite the scales peeling off and the burnt smell spreading, the pangolin maintained its original shape.

In the end, the seller had to abandon that pangolin, carelessly tossing it aside.

To his surprise, a few minutes later, the pangolin discarded on the ground slowly stretched out its body, squinting, then trembled violently and grew rigid and straight, lifelessly still.

As it extended its body, a small, pale transparent baby pangolin lay flat on its belly.”

The story was brief, and Wang Dadong told it in a rather unemotional tone.

But Cao Ying, already choked up with tears, was now sobbing uncontrollably.

To protect her child, the mother pangolin endured beatings and burning to the brink of death, shielding her offspring.

Even when roasted to a semi-cooked state, she preserved her child’s well-being.

The strength of that spirit had already surpassed the limits of life!

Finally, Cao Ying understood why Yang Li, despite having been caught, still took huge risks to steal Shiyan’s cosmetics.

A mother, for her own child, would face any risk without hesitation.

“Brother Wang, let’s give Yang Li another chance,” Cao Ying pleaded, looking at Wang Dadong with a beseeching face.

Wang Dadong sighed.

“But even if you forgive her again, she will still make a third mistake, a fourth one…”

“I know, but I just can’t bear it, Brother Wang, I beg you, after all, Shiyan Group is so large, losing a bit of cosmetics won’t affect anything …”

“Cao Ying, do you know why I asked you to call the police the first time?

It was to let you know, if you make a mistake, you should be punished.

Shiyan Group may not care about so much cosmetics, but if everyone does the same, even the largest company will eventually collapse.

What we are doing is not helping Yang Li; we are harming her.”

“Not good!” Suddenly, Wang Dadong’s expression changed drastically.

Because he heard Yang Li’s soft murmur coming from inside the room.

“Child, Mommy is sorry, Mommy can’t cure you, but Mommy has tried her best, Mommy won’t let you leave this world alone…”
