Song Suisui had good explosive strength and quickly carried the child to the riverbank.  

However, just as she tried to climb up, a sharp pain shot through her scalp. She immediately pressed a hand to her head.  

No need to guess—it was that crazy woman yanking her hair.  

Damn it, if the tiger doesn’t show its might, she really thinks I’m Hello Kitty?!

Now that the child was safe, she naturally turned around and charged at the woman who had pulled her hair.  

Though the woman wasn’t as strong as Song Suisui, when people are desperate, they can become incredibly tenacious.  

While Song Suisui was grappling with the woman in the water, the little boy she had brought to the riverbank climbed to his feet.  

Seeing the sister who had saved him being bullied by the bad woman, he immediately burst into tears!  

This area was quite remote. Even though it was rush hour, very few people passed by—otherwise, the woman wouldn’t have come all the way here to dump the child.  

Song Suisui wasn’t used to “water combat,” so she did suffer a bit at first.  

But brute force worked wonders, and before long, she successfully subdued the woman.  

After dragging the struggling woman ashore, Song Suisui pulled a bundle of rope from her bag and tied her up tightly, leaving no chance for escape.  

The woman didn’t scream or shout—instead, she glared venomously at the little boy, who was now hiccuping from crying so hard.  

Exhausted from the “battle,” Song Suisui was completely spent. Once she had the woman securely tied, she plopped down on the ground to catch her breath.  

Though she was strong, she wasn’t superhuman, and the earlier exertion had drained her. Right now, all she wanted was to lie down. But hearing the child’s cries, her heart softened at the sight of the sniffling three- or four-year-old boy.  

“Come here, little one,” she called gently, waving him over.  

Qin Luyuan hesitated, then wiped his tears and walked to Song Suisui’s side.  

She hugged him, patting his back soothingly. “Don’t be scared, okay? Look, Auntie caught the bad guy for you.”  

When she had first climbed ashore, Song Suisui instinctively reached for her pocket to pull out her phone and call the police—only to suddenly remember that this wasn’t modern times, and reporting a crime wasn’t so convenient.  

She sighed, unsure what to do next.  

The woman was tied up and posed no immediate threat, but Song Suisui was alone. If she went to report the crime, she’d have to leave the child and the woman here.  

Hah—if I do that, wouldn’t saving this kid have been a waste of effort?

If she took the child to report it, she’d have to leave the woman behind.  

That definitely wouldn’t work either—after all, she was the criminal.  

As for why she didn’t take both of them to report the crime?  

Well, she simply didn’t have the strength left!  

Perhaps because Song Suisui was his savior, Qin Luyuan clung to her quite dependently, his arms looped around her neck, unwilling to let go.  

Holding him, Song Suisui asked, “Little one, don’t be scared, okay? Auntie already tied up the bad woman. She can’t hurt you now.”  

After speaking for a while, she realized something odd—neither the child in her arms nor the woman she had tied up made a single sound.  

A normal person, even when bound, would at least curse or yell.  

The child had cried earlier, which seemed normal, but now he was completely silent. Only then did Song Suisui realize something was off.  

Could he be a “child of the stars”? (Note: A Chinese term for children with autism.)  

As for the woman she had tied up? Song Suisui couldn’t care less.  

Even if she had mental issues, that was no excuse for harming a child.
