Inside the car.

As soon as Gao Zhou saw that man appear, he couldn’t sit still. “Mr. Yu, someone is talking to Yuan Yuan. Could he be a child trafficker?”

The rear window lowered a bit more. Yu Jin Xiao frowned slightly as he looked in Yuan Yuan’s direction. “It’s possible that someone arranged for her to be a scammer, and they’re making contact with her now.”

“Mr. Yu, she’s just a three-year-old child,” Gao Zhou weakly emphasized.

What bad intentions could she possibly have?

“Little girl, eat the candy, and we’ll go find your daddy.” The man’s burly frame crouched in front of Yuan Yuan, almost completely shielding her from view.

“I have milk, I don’t need candy, thank you, Uncle,” the seemingly gullible little kid refused very bluntly. “I’m waiting for my daddy.”

“What’s so good about milk?” The man grabbed the milk box, which was nearly empty, and threw it on the ground. “Take the candy, I’ll take you to find your daddy.”

“No, Yuan Yuan doesn’t want to go, boohoo…”

The man, strong and muscular, picked Yuan Yuan up like she was a piece of fruit and started to leave.

Just as he turned around, two people suddenly blocked his way.

“Daddy!” The gloomy little face of Yuan Yuan suddenly beamed with sunshine, and she reached out eagerly, trying to jump toward Yu Jin Xiao.

But the man was holding her by the back of her collar, making her look like a little kitten being carried by the scruff. The more she struggled, the more she twirled in mid-air.

“Move aside, this has nothing to do with you,” the man snarled menacingly, not even bothering to pretend anymore as he tried to walk away with Yuan Yuan.

Gao Zhou sneaked a glance at Mr. Yu, and upon receiving a certain signal, prepared to act. But to his surprise, Yu Jin Xiao was quicker, directly snatching Yuan Yuan from the man’s grasp.

Yuan Yuan, who had been twirling in the man’s grip, was now twirling in Yu Jin Xiao’s arms.

She waved her hands like a little turtle, finally finding her way to Yu Jin Xiao’s direction and clung to his pant leg. “Daddy, you finally came to pick me up!”

The man, hearing Yuan Yuan call him “Daddy,” looked up and met Yu Jin Xiao’s terrifying gaze. Swallowing nervously, he turned to flee.

But Gao Zhou, who had been itching to teach this human trafficker a lesson, was already prepared. He launched a series of punches, knocking the man to the ground.

Before getting out of the car, Gao Zhou had already called the police. They arrived quickly, and after understanding the situation, they arrested the trafficker and asked them to go to the station to assist with the investigation.

Throughout the entire process, Yu Jin Xiao’s expression remained cold. He hadn’t intended to get involved with the little kid in the first place, yet somehow, he found himself entangled in this mess.

However, Gao Zhou was quite enthusiastic. After explaining Yuan Yuan’s situation, the police assured them that they would handle everything and ensure that she was reunited with her family.

When they finished giving their statements and came out, Yu Jin Xiao immediately saw Yuan Yuan lying on a wooden bench, dozing off.

Her little head was bobbing as she struggled to stay awake, her eyes fighting to stay open as if she had something important that kept her from fully succumbing to sleep.

But eventually, she couldn’t resist the drowsiness and slumped over on the bench, lying flat.

Gao Zhou, standing behind Yu Jin Xiao, found it amusing, but sensing that Yu Jin Xiao was not in a good mood, he quickly stifled his laughter and walked forward as if nothing had happened.

After all, the child had been handed over to the police, so there was no need to worry about the aftermath.

“Daddy, can we go home now?”

Yuan Yuan, who had been asleep, woke up at some point. In a daze, she reached out for Yu Jin Xiao.

The air fell silent again.

Her chubby little hand unconsciously grabbed onto the tear in Yu Jin Xiao’s pant leg, her short nails catching a thread and pulling it, getting her hand stuck.

“Hahaha…” Gao Zhou couldn’t hold it in anymore. If he was going to die, so be it.
