Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Little Money
Gu Cheng and the cameraman arrived in close succession.
The audience also heard her explanation, and they all suddenly understood.
[Miaomiao has such a good memory? She remembers the face she hurriedly saw a month ago]
[If she got the right person, it must be fate; it’s destined that the trafficker is going to fall]
[Trafficking kids for money, dressed so well, openly traveling, deserved to be discovered]
[The traffickers never expected to encounter the film crew and be unexpectedly discovered by Miaomiao]
[He’s been wanted, yet still traveling with a group, probably using someone else’s identity]
[Miaomiao: From a glance in the crowd, I knew you were a trafficker]
Tuanzi always performs astonishingly, and the crew quickly called the police after hearing her explanation.
The group, realizing they had been traveling with a trafficker, were quite scared and instinctively distanced themselves. Some couldn’t help but introduce with smiles on their faces while taking out their phones to record.
Tuanzi, who should have been receiving praise, appeared a bit timid at this moment.
She stood up timidly, took small steps over to Gu Cheng, and pitifully tugged at his clothes.
"Miaomiao performed so well, shouldn’t Big Brother praise Miaomiao?"
The handsome director lowered his eyes to look at her.
Tuanzi continued to show a pitiful expression.
Her roundish corners of her eyes slightly drooped, with a small pout, making it hard for anyone to criticize her harshly.
Gu Cheng took a deep breath and picked her up.
"Let’s head back first."
"But that bad guy..."
"The crew will hand him over to the police."
Tuanzi withdrew her hand, resting her little head on her brother’s shoulder, moving around as her cheek’s soft flesh was squeezed back and forth.
She stretched out her small, plump hand to poke Gu Cheng’s cheek.
"Big Brother, why aren’t you happy?"
"What do you think?"
"Because..." Tuanzi, feeling guilty, withdrew her finger, "because Miaomiao left Big Brother and ran away?"
Gu Cheng’s eyelid twitched.
"Wrong."
Tuanzi frowned, thinking hard, her features scrunched up.
"Wrong? Then what else could it be?"
The audience guessed the reason first.
[Gu Cheng is probably worried someone will retaliate against Miaomiao]
[Yes, many traffickers have gangs, and when one is caught, they often expose others. The rest might harbor anger and might retaliate against the one providing the information]
[Therefore, typically the police secretly give the reward to the person providing the information]
[But this time, so many people saw, and passengers just posted videos online, the traffickers’ gang could bear a grudge against Miaomiao]
[Well, Big Brother’s concern is justified]
Tuanzi speculated several reasons in her babyish voice, but they were all rejected.
Eventually, she grew angry, hugging her arms, not speaking.
No more guessing! Big Brother’s thoughts are too hard to understand! It’s really difficult for this little cutie!
Gu Cheng carried her back to the show’s campsite first.
Once inside the tent, Tuanzi assumed Big Brother would criticize her or explain, but instead, he just told her to rest, and went out to prepare dinner.
Patting her belly, Tuanzi pouted, "What is Big Brother thinking?"
[Ancient Martial System: What do you think?]
[Ancient Martial System: Gu Cheng is usually indifferent, only a few people can reveal his emotions.]
Tuanzi dropped her little head, fiddling with her fingers.
It was only after dinner that the police came to find them.
A male and a female officer.
They stated they would take the trafficker back for identification to confirm he’s an A-level wanted criminal and had contacted the police station that issued the warrant before coming to find Gu Miaomiao.
"We are here to commend Gu Miaomiao, thanks to your bravery..."
Tuanzi straightened her small back and tried hard to hold her face stern, but couldn’t help the corners of her lips from lifting.
She sneaked a glance at her silent brother, and slowly flattened her lips again.
"By the way, providing information or catching an A-level wanted criminal will get a reward of 50,000 yuan."
Tuanzi became happy again, her big eyes transformed into symbols for money.
"Catching bad guys gets you money too?"
The policewoman chuckled, but also seriously advised Tuanzi to follow her parents when going out and if she encounters such situations again, she should call the police first or let adults handle it, not to risk herself.
Tuanzi initially wanted to boast about her martial arts; she was the Little Heroine, not afraid of big bad guys, but noticed Gu Cheng glanced this way several times, so she obediently nodded.
"Okay, okay, Miaomiao understands."
After the two officers left, the children gathered around Tuanzi.
"Wow, Miaomiao, you’re amazing. How did you know he was a bad guy?"
"Miaomiao Sister, you’re a little hero~"
"Miaomiao..."
Tuanzi proudly raised her little head, waving her plump hands, "This is Miaomiao’s special skill..."
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Gu Cheng getting up to return to the tent, so she waved goodbye to her little partners.
"We’ll talk more tomorrow, Miaomiao needs to rest now."
She followed Gu Cheng into the tent like a little tail, zipped it up, and dove over, clinging to Gu Cheng’s back.
"Big Brother, don’t be mad. Miaomiao already understands; Big Brother is scared Miaomiao might get hurt and worried Miaomiao might get retaliated against."
Gu Cheng was arranging the sleeping bag. Hearing this, he paused slightly.
Tuanzi hurriedly crawled off his back, coming in front of him, holding her little face as if pretending it was blooming.
"Miaomiao will definitely be careful in the future and absolutely won’t let Big Brother worry. Big Brother, don’t be mad anymore; being mad is bad for your health."
The moist big eyes reflected Gu Cheng’s face.
Gu Cheng lowered his gaze a bit.
"Big Brother, okay? Don’t be mad."
The chubby little face tried to see his expression more clearly, leaning closer.
Gu Cheng covered her little face with his palm.
Tuanzi was about to push his hand away, but heard his slightly gruff voice.
"I’m mad, but not mad at you."
"Oh?"
"I’m mad at myself."
Gu Cheng looked down at the little face covered by his hand.
With his sister not seeing, he felt safe to expose his emotions.
The accident four years ago kept recurring in his dreams.
A stalker chased the car carrying his brother, causing him endless sleepless nights, unsure of how to help, so he chose to prevent his brother from furthering his fame.
Today, the group came frantically rushing up.
He himself wasn’t afraid, but thinking of his sister still so young, not understanding many things yet encountering this. Those scenes from his dream kept replaying before his eyes.
His sister was so adorable, so impressive, destined to be well-received. But not all watching eyes are kind.
Just like that young man, casually tugging at his sister. His sister is still young; what if she’s dragged down? What if someone harms her under the guise of a fan?
At the time, he felt unsettled, coupled with the incident of the trafficker.
Admiring his sister’s bravery, proud of her kindness, yet worried about her being retaliated against.
He couldn’t stop his sister from being just, nor had the right to. But thought of how to protect his sister completely.
Not finding a better way, inevitably getting mad at himself.
