The human trafficker's originally fierce expression turned to panic upon hearing the childlike voice, like that of a celestial being.
He stiffly twisted his neck, looking towards the child.
The sight made his knees buckle, and he fell to the ground.
"I... I... I was helping someone, not bullying them, and I didn't intend to kidnap him," the trafficker explained, on the verge of tears.
Yun Xiaojing's smile was innocent and pure, "You're lying! Liars must be punished! Otherwise, you won't learn your lesson."
As his words fell,
A large wild dog ran swiftly from the street and dragged the human trafficker away.
The trafficker howled, "I was wrong! I'm truly wrong!"
Had he used up all his good luck?
Today was too unlucky. The children he encountered were too terrifying! That mute child earlier was so strange, and this child raised so many wild dogs!
And these wild dogs were fiercer than tigers!
As the trafficker's screams faded into the distance, Yun Xiaojing walked up to Zhan Xiaoli.
He noticed that the little boy in front of him had a nose and mouth that looked very much like his own.
And he was also very handsome.
He felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Then, he saw the portrait in Zhan Xiaoli's hand.
The person in the portrait wasn't as beautiful as his mother.
His mother was the most beautiful in the world!
"Did you get lost with your mother?" Yun Xiaojing asked.
Zhan Xiaoli looked at Yun Xiaojing indifferently, his gaze drifting to the small wild dog still trembling on the ground.
He couldn't hear thoughts.
People whose thoughts he couldn't hear were not bad people.
But he didn't want to talk, didn't want to waste time. He needed to find his mother.
"Are you really mute?" Yun Xiaojing touched his chin, his large eyes blinking as he curiously stared at Zhan Xiaoli.
He had never been this curious about other children before.
Zhan Xiaoli wanted to talk even less. He carefully put the portrait into his embrace and then, ignoring Yun Xiaojing, walked away with his short legs.
Yun Xiaojing, completely ignored, called out to Zhan Xiaoli, "I helped you scare away the bad guy, are you being too cold? You won't make friends like this!"
Zhan Xiaoli heard him and gave a cold curl of his lips. He could drive away bad guys himself.
"To find someone, you need her name. Just having a portrait won't do! My mother said that portraits don't look like the person!" Yun Xiaojing shouted again in his clear voice.
Zhan Xiaoli continued to walk, his small figure soon disappearing down the street.
"Could he still be deaf? So pitiful, I won't bother with him!" Yun Xiaojing waved his hand and headed in another direction.
He had to get back to his mother before dark!
Otherwise, Mother would be angry!
And he had to tell his mother that he saw his scum father, and his scum father had been crippled!
"Oh no, I forgot! Mother said that scum father has a brother by his side. I should have found a way to sneak in just now, maybe then I could have seen my brother! I wonder if my brother looks like me! He must be suffering staying by scum father's side!"
"No, no, I can't let scum father know about me. Mother said not to confront scum father directly! It's too troublesome! Scum father doesn't even know I exist!"
Yun Xiaojing muttered to himself as he ran with his short legs.
...
General's Mansion.
In front of the mansion gate.
Jing Heng knocked a few times.
Soon, someone opened the door.
Seeing Jing Heng's unfamiliar face, the person asked, "Who are you?"
"My master wishes to see your General," Jing Heng replied expressionlessly.
Startled by Jing Heng's imposing aura, the servant at the gate asked, "Who is your master?"
"My master is the young lady of the General's Mansion," Jing Heng stated coldly.
The servant was greatly surprised, "The young lady?!"
