Mark of the destiny

Whip the asses

In the child's room.

"Mum, dad" Mingyu called the moment he saw his parents coming. His eyes got wet as his mother hugged him, crying. "I'm fine, aunty's hurt. She covered me when everything happened."

He looked at his father, "I want to see her, please."

"No, you are not." His mother looked up, "She is bad. She took you from kindergarten without our permission."

Father Ru placed his hand on Mingyu's head, "Your mother's right, you are just a kid and don't understand these things. Let dad handle everything."

Ru Mingyu lowered his head, "What if I had asked her to do that." He had tears in his eyes, "You never listened to me."

"Mingyu!" His mother covered his mouth and showed stern eyes before looking around to make sure someone has not heard it. "I told you sweetheart, everything will be fine. Mum and dad are there for you-"

"Hey, baby bro." A voice sounded.

Mingyu jolted in fear, his expression changed and he looked at his parents with eyes full of hope but got the same unconcerned expression.

"Howz the little brother doing? I was so worried." Mingyu's twelve-year-old elder sister Ru Kim walked to his bed. "You are turning naughty, little one. From now I'll always be with you, isn't it great!?" She placed her hand on Mingyu's plastered leg, "This looks very serious. What sound did it make when it broke?

Mingyu whimpered in fear....

"Kimmy, don't touch it." Mother Ru pushed her hand away instantly, much to the former's displeasure.

*Knock! Knock! Knock!*

"Mr. and Mrs. Ru," A man in his early thirties knocked the door before stepping into the room. "Hello, I'm Bai Xu from social services. This is my team, Miss. Woo Meng and Miss. Yu Mixi. May I have a word with you?"

"It's great you came," Father Ru instantly jumped forward as if already prepared for it, "I want to file a complaint against caretaker Chu Yin hired from XY agency. She not only abducted my youngest in the name of picking him from kindergarten but got him involved in an accident. Look, how injured and emotionally distressed he is."

Social workers glanced at the scared child who was already trying to make his presence as small as possible by scrunching into the corner.

Mingyu: "Aunty...."

"Yes, aunty Chu is bad. Whenever we didn't listen to her, or ask for extra food serving, she used to scold us and called stinky pigs." Ru Kim butted in before Mingyu could say something and complained with teary eyes. Her red wet cheeks and pity face attracted everyone's sympathy.

"Kimmy!?" Mother Ru tried to stop.
