She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

At the same time, Chen Xiangnan was about to board the train. He had no idea how much had happened at home during the two weeks he had been away. All he knew was that Haishi was a great place, and he had even made a small fortune.

He had planned to leave after his sister was settled, but Yu Hongzhen came to visit them as soon as he had a holiday. After some persuasion, he stayed for a few more days.

A few days ago, Chen Xiangnan went to the largest department store in Shanghai. The store had so many more items than his own back home that his eyes widened in amazement.

He had spent all the money he had on him, and even his train ticket was arranged by Yu Hongzhen. Seeing that he had no money, Yu Hongzhen even tried to give him some money so he could buy some food on the train.

But Chen Xiangnan knew that this person had a powerful background, and that favors were something that could only be used once and then lost forever. He insisted on writing an IOU before he would hand over the money, not wanting to use the favor for nothing.

If he were an ordinary person, he would have just taken it; after all, his sister had done him a huge favor.

Chen Xiangnan has always been very clear about this.

Because a lot had happened at home recently, he even spent money to buy Grandma Xia a premium face cream that was only available in Shanghai, hoping to make her look rosy when he got home.

Chen Xianghong and Yu Hongzhen also bought things for him to take back, mainly to put Grandma Xia's mind at ease.

Chen Xiangnan took a pancake to eat. The pancake tasted much worse when it was cold than when it was freshly bought, but it was still better than other dry things and was especially fragrant.

It was at a stop along the way, and the train stopped for a while. He stared at the crowds coming and going outside the window and inexplicably felt a little nostalgic for Grandma Xia.

This thought suddenly gave him goosebumps. Why was he thinking about his mother? He would be home in half a day. He wasn't a baby who hadn't been weaned.

child?

Chen Xiangnan suddenly noticed that a couple had dropped their child and run away, leaving the child lying on the ground. Then, someone chased after them, and one of the men, who looked like a police officer, squatted down to look at the child.

That child looked somewhat familiar to him.

To avoid mistaking someone for someone else, Chen Xiangnan got off the train. There was still some time before departure, so he figured he could go check and run back in time.

"Excuse me, please." Chen Xiangnan squeezed his way in.

The police officers were about to pick up the child and take him away. Because the child's identity was uncertain, it would not be easy to find his biological parents. They hoped that the child would remember where his home was when he woke up.

At this time, when children are abducted, because the system is not perfect, some very young children cannot remember their home or their parents' names, making it difficult for them to find their home. Some children can only be sent to orphanages, and even when they grow up, they may not be able to meet their biological parents. The probability of finding their biological parents is not high.

The poor child in his arms had chubby white cheeks, clearly indicating that he had been carefully raised.

If it weren't for the stark contrast between her face and her tattered clothes, no concerned passenger would have discovered the human traffickers.

To avoid detection, the traffickers dressed themselves and the child as if they were poor, so that others wouldn't bother to pay them any attention. If the woman hadn't needed to use the restroom and handed the child to the man, during which someone saw the child's face and became suspicious, they wouldn't have been discovered.

I wonder whose precious child was stolen; their family must be frantic with worry.

After Chen Xiangnan squeezed in, he saw the person and looked confused. "Xiao Yingying?"

The police officer was somewhat wary. "Do you know this child?"

He feared this man might be an accomplice of the human traffickers, trying to deceive them, so he dared not easily trust him.

Chen Xiangnan pointed at the person and said, "I know her. I live in the same compound as her family. What's she doing here?"

Just as I finished speaking, the train behind me drove away.

Chen Xiangnan: ...Damn it, my luggage! There are a lot of good things in there, I hope no one takes them.

And also, he needs to go home.

"Fine, since we're already out here, let's get this straight." Chen Xiangnan tried his best to prove himself, even producing a letter of introduction, saying that the child's father also lived in this compound.

Seeing that he spoke with conviction, the police officer took him and the child out together and told him not to worry that someone would retrieve his belongings at the next stop, but that the child could not be handed over to him now.

Chen Xiangnan had no choice but to wait for Hu Yingying to wake up and recognize him. She then notified the local police station at the address Chen Xiangnan mentioned, and they brought Hu Jie to identify him.

It's not far from home now. Hu Jie and the others should arrive by tomorrow morning at the latest, and his luggage should arrive too. He can just stay here for the night and not waste money at the guesthouse.

He wanted to see Hu Yingying, wondering how anxious Hu Jie was. How could a perfectly healthy child have been kidnapped by human traffickers?

Unfortunately, his request was rejected.

It wasn't until evening that Hu Yingying, who was in a deep sleep, stirred. Chen Xiangnan asked to see her again, and this time he was finally allowed to bring her to the child.

"Yingying, it's your uncle." Chen Xiangnan squatted down and greeted her.

However, Hu Yingying just stared blankly ahead, her eyes unfocused, and she didn't react when she heard what was said.

"Yingying?" Chen Xiangnan waved in front of her again.

Hu Yingying remained in the same position as before, without reacting.

Chen Xiangnan had a bad feeling. Could it be that she had been beaten into a mentally impaired state by those heartless human traffickers?

“Comrade, I feel something’s wrong with her. Why isn’t she reacting at all? Even if I didn’t recognize her, I would cry over something this terrible. She needs to go to the hospital right away.” Chen Xiangnan tried to hug her, but was pulled away.

"I'm sorry, you can't come near. We can only go after her family arrives and we confirm."

Chen Xiangnan: "What if it's too late? How about this, you take her to the hospital first, I'll pay, and I won't go near her, okay?"

"Don't worry, we'll take her to the hospital for a checkup. Please go out first."

Chen Xiangnan: "Then I'll follow, but I won't get close."

The group rushed to the hospital late at night. After a series of examinations, the doctor concluded that Hu Yingying had inhaled too much sedative, resulting in brain damage. She might recover, or she might not.

Chen Xiangnan felt sad. This child used to be so well-behaved. Would he always become so silly and dull in the future?

He found it unbearable, let alone Hu Jie.

After staying at the hospital until the early hours of the morning, Hu Jie arrived with dark circles under his eyes and a messy stubble.

After receiving the news, he bought the fastest train ticket to get here, arriving even faster than Chen Xiangnan's luggage was taken to the next station.

"Where's Yingying?" He grabbed Chen Xiangnan's hand, finally relieved to see her; at least Yingying had been found.

He was so desperate to find someone that he beat up Hu's father, Jinju, and his nephew Hu Bin so badly that they had to run back home.

Hu Wei still hasn't been found, but he doesn't care whether he's dead or alive outside, as long as his Yingying comes back.

Chen Xiangnan was a little unsure how to say it, "Go and take a look, but be prepared."

Hu Jie: "Something happened to her? She's gone?"

Chen Xiangnan: "Uh...alive."
