After reading my mind, everyone collectively begged me to watch the drama unfold!

Lu Yuanshi walked towards the old lady, helped his mother up, patted her reassuringly, then turned to Qin Keqing and said seriously, "Let's call the police first and leave everything to them."

"Are you pursuing this or do you not trust me? Let go! I truly regret giving birth to you, you ungrateful wretch!" The old lady's face was full of disappointment and anger as she forcefully shook off Lu Yuanshi's hand that was supporting her.

It was all Zhang Li's fault. How despicable! A flash of resentment crossed the old lady's eyes. She had even secretly hidden evidence of their transaction.

And Qin Keqing! That despicable woman! If it weren't for her, the plan would have succeeded.

Seeing the distrustful and suspicious looks from those around her, the old lady was furious!

"I am so disappointed in you all! It's truly disheartening!" The old woman pointed at everyone, her fingers trembling. Her face was full of disappointment at everyone's attitude, her eyes were filled with deep despair, her chest heaved violently, her face turned bright red, and her body went limp, causing her to collapse uncontrollably.

Lu Yuanshi, who was beside her, hurriedly caught his mother. He saw her lying unconscious in his arms, her eyes closed and her brows furrowed.

Lu Yuanshi regretted it. He wondered if he had made a mistake. His mother had been questioned and targeted by everyone, yet he had been able to stand rationally opposite her, rational to the point of being somewhat indifferent.

My heart was being squeezed so tightly, it hurt so much, it felt like countless needles were piercing my heart, and it felt like my heart was bleeding constantly.

"Hey kid, don't be fooled by her. I'm experienced in this area. She's obviously faking it." Zhang Li's teasing voice rang out, her face showing amusement and disdain as she watched the situation unfold.

"Shut up! Seal her mouth!" Lu Yuanshi suddenly turned his head and looked fiercely at Zhang Li, his voice cold and filled with deep resentment.

The bodyguard hesitated and looked at Qin Keqing. Only after Qin Keqing nodded did the bodyguard re-seal Zhang Li's mouth with tape.

Lu Yuanshi was planning to take his mother to the hospital and was preparing to do so.

In the distance, several rapid footsteps approached, and the figures drew closer and closer, soon arriving in front of the group.

Everyone's eyes widened, wondering what these suddenly appearing people wanted to do.

Several police officers were also surprised by the scene! They immediately noticed Zhang Li, who was tied up.

The lead police officer said solemnly, "We are police officers. We received an anonymous tip and are arresting a criminal. The woman who is tied up over there is our target. She is a human trafficker."

Is she really a human trafficker?! Several elders were shocked by this news; the old lady was really...??

A wave of fear washed over me, but thankfully everyone arrived in time.

"Ugh!" Zhang Li was startled, her eyes filled with panic. "Police!" She twisted her body, trying to break free of her restraints, but the bodyguard held her down firmly.

Upon hearing this information, Lu Yuanshi looked down and noticed that the old lady's eyelids were trembling and her body stiffened for a moment.

Lu Yuanshi's gaze was complex as he silently looked at his mother's face. His lips moved, but he said nothing.

"Excuse me, could you tell us what happened?"

Qin Keqing stepped forward and gave a simple explanation, using clear and concise language that made it easy for everyone to understand.

Upon learning that the child's grandmother had conspired with human traffickers, a complex mix of emotions and bewilderment flashed across the eyes of the police officers.

The lead policeman said, "We will take Zhang Li back, and you will also need to go back to the police station to give statements. As for this..." The policeman's eyes swept over the unconscious old lady, his voice hesitant.

“We will not pursue this matter against her. My wife and I will go to give statements together. The elderly people are too old for this to be taken seriously,” Lu Yuanshi said solemnly.

Qin Keqing had no objection to this. If the old lady went in, it might affect Qiuqiu's political background check later, which would be bad.

But she wouldn't let the old lady off easily. If she hadn't invited Lin Guiyi, she might not have known about the old lady's plan. Qiuqiu would have been trafficked somewhere and suffered countless hardships.

Lu Yuanshi carried his mother to his father and said softly, "Dad, take Mom home first and let her rest. I'll get the car ready. You two can go back quietly."

Seeing this, Qin Keqing quickly went to her parents and said, "Mom and Dad, Qiuqiu will stay with you for now. I'll come back to pick him up later if there's nothing else." Only after her parents nodded did Qin Keqing finally relax.

Lu Yuanshi, who was standing next to her, glanced at Qin Keqing but did not say anything.

Afterwards, everyone dispersed, each with their own things to do.

Qin Keqing was actually quite relieved that no one had come down this road after the incident, and the police officers arrived in their pajamas, so it didn't cause any problems.

She was still Lin Guiyi's agent and had some reputation in the industry, so she didn't want to involve Lin Guiyi in this.

Before leaving, Qin Keqing specifically instructed her bodyguards to keep a close eye on the old lady and pay attention to her movements.

The old lady, held in Mr. Lu's arms, quietly lifted her eyelids and glanced at the several tall bodyguards around her before quickly closing her eyes again.

She had actually heard everything that had just happened, and knew that after everyone knew the truth, they didn't intend to pursue the matter. The old lady knew that this incident would cause her to become estranged from everyone, but she didn't care.

And as for Qiuqiu, no one will tell him what happened.

After thinking it over, the old lady realized it wouldn't have much of an impact on her, so she felt at ease.

On the other side, Lin Guiyi was playing a game with Qiuqiu.

Two childish kids were standing in front of the basketball shooting machine, having a competition to see who could make the most shots.

Lin Guiyi sat on a small chair, and even the short children's basketball shooting machine seemed enormous to him.

As they played the game, their faces beamed with bright smiles, their eyes sparkling with excitement, and their laughter rose and fell like joyful notes leaping in the air, as they were completely immersed in the joy of the game.

Out of the corner of his eye, Lin Guiyi seemed to see Qiuqiu's maternal grandparents. He stopped what he was doing and looked more closely, and indeed, they were.

Lin Guiyi stepped forward and asked, "Uncle and Aunt, why are you the only ones here? Where is the others?"

Aunt Qin smiled sheepishly and replied, "We had to go back first. We came to pick up Qiuqiu and take her home. We saw you were having so much fun that we didn't want to call you."

Even if the other party didn't say it, Lin Guiyi knew what had happened, but since the other party chose not to say it, Lin Guiyi could understand.

"Haha, it is indeed getting late. Qiuqiu, stop playing. Your grandparents are here to pick you up!" Lin Guiyi shouted.

Qiuqiu quickly put down the basketball, ran over, and his grandfather picked him up immediately.

"Qiuqiu, we're going home now, it's time for bed." Grandma reached out and shook Qiuqiu.

"Yay! Time to go home!" Qiuqiu exclaimed.

Grandma Qin turned to Lin Guiyi and asked, "Guiyi, how are you planning to get home later? Why don't you come to my house for the night?"

"No need, no need, my driver is nearby, I'll contact him later." Lin Guiyi waved his hands repeatedly in refusal.

Seeing that Lin Guiyi refused, Aunt Qin didn't say anything more; young people all have their own ideas.

The three bid farewell to Lin Guiyi.

"Goodbye, Sister Guiyi, I'll come see you next time!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you, sister."

Only after Lin Guiyi's figure disappeared from sight did Qiuqiu reluctantly turn her gaze away.

"Grandma, where are Mom and Dad?" He had just discovered it.

"Mom and Dad are busy, but they promised to take you out to play together later."

"Ah... Dad promised to take me to the zoo, you liar." Her voice was full of grievance.

"How about Grandpa and Grandma take you tomorrow?"

"Hmph... fine." The tone was reluctant.

Lin Guiyi looked up at the sky. Sparse stars twinkled in the sky, and the moon hung high above the city, casting a soft glow that reflected the city lights.

Lin Guiyi let out a breath!

Time to go home!
