After the divorce, I trained my dog, and the scumbag father and son knelt down at my door.

Yan Niannian was stunned.

She stared intently at Zhuo Yuchen.

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere between them became tense and tense.

Zhuo Yuchen's pupils contracted sharply.

His fingertips trembled, and a strange ache rose in his chest.

In the end, he didn't strike.

“I called you last night and you didn’t come. Xuanxuan got angry and secretly ran out to confront you, but she got lost.” Zhuo Yuchen withdrew his hand, his deep voice revealing a sense of helplessness.

"Such a thing actually happened?" Yan Niannian frowned. "Why aren't you calling the police right now?"

"I've already sent people to look for it."

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Niannian nodded.

At the same time, I felt a little more at ease.

With Zhuo Yuchen's abilities, Zhuo Xuan should be found soon.

only……

Yan Niannian felt something was off.

Why did Zhuo Xuan run away from the Zhuo family out of the blue?

Seeing Yan Niannian's calm demeanor, as if she didn't care at all, Zhuo Yuchen's brows furrowed even more deeply.

"Yan Niannian, what happened to you? You've become like this."

After saying that, Yan Niannian looked up at him and asked, "How have I changed?"

"To continue to tolerate your indecisiveness, to endure the disdain of the Zhuo family, to give selflessly and without complaint, to be a complete nobody, Zhuo Yuchen, is this what you want?"

"Sorry, I can't do it."

Zhuo Yuchen stared intently at her, trying to read something from her face, his voice low and hoarse, "Weren't you doing just fine before?"

Whether he loves Yan Niannian or not, he himself doesn't know.

perhaps……

I guess I've gotten used to it!

Yan Niannian was used to having eyes only for him and would eagerly circle around him.

No matter how late it is, the bedroom light is always on, and there is always a figure waiting tirelessly for him, even if he falls asleep on the sofa.

Because of habit, Zhuo Yuchen didn't want to change anything.

"before?"

Yan Niannian looked as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, her eyes filled with sarcasm, "Zhuo Yuchen, everything you say is good is based entirely on my personal sacrifice."

"Now that I've figured it out and I don't want to make sacrifices anymore, you're turning around and blaming me."

"Zhuo Yuchen, you are so selfish!"

Shaking her head in disappointment, Yan Niannian turned away.

She had long since lost interest in arguing with this person.

He was cold and ruthless, a complete and utterly sophisticated egoist.

Zhuo Yuchen's eyes were deep and dark.

This time, he didn't press the matter further.

Because he has more important things to do.

That means finding Zhuo Xuan.

……

Once they reached a secluded spot, Yan Niannian thought for a moment, then took out her phone and called He Xue.

"Sister Xue, I know you know a lot of people. Could you help me check if there are any human traffickers around? Zhuo Xuan left home last night and we still haven't found him."

Yan Niannian got straight to the point.

Regardless of who the other party is—a stranger or Zhuo Xuan—she won't stand idly by once she finds out.

"No problem!" Sister Xue said hurriedly. "Niannian, don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to investigate right away."

He Xue has made many friends over the years while navigating the social world.

She knows many big shots in both the legitimate and underworld circles.

"Thank you!"

I had just finished talking to He Xue when Fei Siyu called.

He asked anxiously, "Niannian, where are you now?"

"Did Zhuo Yuchen make things difficult for you?"

Tell me, and I'll come find you right away.

"I'm fine. Zhuo Yuchen has already left. Please apologize to me and Grandpa for ruining the gathering," Yan Niannian said apologetically.

"It's alright, it's alright." Fei Siyu breathed a sigh of relief, his tone much lighter. "This wasn't your fault, Grandpa won't blame you."

When Fei Siyu made the phone call, Grandpa Fei was right next to her.

He looked at his grandson with loving eyes.

Judging from his expression, Old Master Fei knew that this silly boy was deeply in love and had truly fallen for him.

"Silly boy, if you like her, hurry up and pursue her. Get married soon so I can hold my great-grandson sooner." After hanging up the phone, Grandpa Fei said with a smile.

"marry?"

Upon hearing those two words, Fei Siyu's heart fluttered slightly.

He dreamed of that day.

They can rightfully embrace each other and have a baby with their bloodline.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I will try my best." Fei Siyu clenched her fist firmly.

……

Zhuo Yuchen sent out elites, and news came quickly.

only……

The more Zhuo Yuchen listened, the more he frowned.

Behind these human traffickers are actually international human trafficking organizations.

The background is complex and the people involved are extremely vicious.

Moreover, it's very well hidden.

Those human traffickers who operate in the market year-round, looking for targets and abducting children are just small fry.

After successfully obtaining the goods, they would hand them over to their supplier.

These suppliers usually have hidden bases where they hide the "goods" for a few days until things calm down, and then they use their special channels to smuggle them abroad.

Although they were not key figures in human trafficking organizations, they all shared a common characteristic.

They were all desperate criminals.

Once discovered, it will be a fight to the death; in the process of self-destruction, none of those poor children will survive.

Therefore, even though the elites sent out by Zhuo Yuchen had found out that the owners had hidden the people in an abandoned residential compound on the outskirts of the city, they did not dare to act rashly.

otherwise……

If something really happens to Zhuo Xuan, they can't afford the consequences.

Zhuo Yuchen looked solemn and remained silent.

The surrounding air pressure dropped.

Time passed by, second by second.

The subordinates felt immense pressure, and just when they felt like each day was an eternity, Zhuo Yuchen spoke in a deep voice, "I'll go myself. You all stay on the perimeter and be ready to provide backup at any time."

"What?!" Everyone was shocked and urged, "Sir, you mustn't!"

“Those are all desperate criminals, how can you personally get involved?”

"That's right! Let me go in your place!"

"Me, and me!"

"Stop talking." Zhuo Yuchen glanced at everyone indifferently, his tone leaving no room for doubt. "Xuanxuan is my son. I will not entrust him to others. You just need to provide support from the outside."

Now, although everyone was anxious, there was nothing they could do.

Zhuo Yuchen changed into casual clothes and wore a baseball cap before heading to the abandoned house on the outskirts of the city.

……

The abandoned house was located in a mountain valley.

It has been abandoned for a long time.

Because of its remote location, it is rarely visited by people and is surrounded by wild grass.

Instead of approaching the houses directly, Zhuo Yuchen hid in the weeds.

He bent over and waded over little by little, slowly approaching, wanting to scout out the situation first.

But who knows...

As he approached the edge, Zhuo Yuchen noticed someone lurking suspiciously ahead.

The person's back was facing him, and he was staring straight ahead.

Not knowing whether they were friend or foe, Zhuo Yuchen narrowed his eyes warily.

No unexpected events are allowed on the road to saving his son, so Zhuo Yuchen decided to subdue the man first.

He approached quietly.

A faint sound came from the grass, and the man's shoulders tensed.

It was obvious that the other party had also noticed that someone was behind them.

The confrontation happened in an instant. Before Zhuo Yuchen could even make a move, the other man struck first, and a small, gleaming dagger was already at his neck.

"You..." Zhuo Yuchen was stunned when he saw the other person's face.
