Mr. Sheng still feels heartbroken when he thinks about how he felt when his child went missing.

At first, he thought it was done by his rivals.

But at that time, everyone was too busy taking care of their own families to deal with him.

He then thought of human traffickers, but human traffickers shouldn't have that much ability to plan so flawlessly.

Finally, he remembered the assistant he had sent to protect the child years ago and realized that she was the one who did it.

But the other party refused to admit it, and in the end, they still couldn't find out where the child was.

He felt extremely guilty.

Such a young child was just taken away like that; who knows how difficult the future will be for him.

He watched his wife cry, and tears streamed down his face as well.

He was a man of unyielding integrity, who shed blood but never tears his entire life.

But after his daughter went missing, he would cry every night while holding her photo.

His poor daughter, he didn't even know where she had been taken.

He sent people to search for him to the ends of the earth, but he couldn't find him.

Even after everyone advised him to give up, he continued searching.

Wherever he heard a noise, he would immediately go to investigate and never gave up searching.

Even after all these years, his people are still searching for his child.

Seeing a child who looks so much like him and his wife, Mr. Sheng couldn't help but shed a tear.

Mrs. Sheng was startled.

Why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell?

In Mrs. Sheng's memory, her husband had always been a pillar of strength, and she had never seen him cry except when he lost the child.

Suddenly, her eyes reddened and tears started falling, which startled her.

"Is your chest hurting? Or is your head hurting?"

"Is it still an old injury that's hurting?"

He rose through the ranks, accumulating numerous wounds. Sometimes, the changing seasons would cause him unbearable pain, and he would involuntarily groan.

Mrs. Sheng still felt sorry for him and hurriedly called for a nurse.

Mr. Sheng waved his hand, "It's alright, I'll be fine after a while."

Mrs. Sheng was heartbroken.

I used to dislike him, but now I'm not angry anymore.

"Don't scare me."

She only had one husband, and they had been together for so many years, so naturally she couldn't bear to see him die.

Mr. Sheng hugged her and said, "It's nothing, I just missed our daughter."

These words brought tears to Mrs. Sheng's eyes as well.

"You heartless bastard, I thought you had long forgotten about our daughter."

Before, seeing how good he was to Huang Nianyan, I thought he had given his love to Huang Nianyan and didn't want their daughter anymore.

I didn't expect him to remember it.

She had misunderstood him.

Mr. Sheng shook his head, looking at Sheng Yueqing with a pitiful expression, "Child, could you get me some tissues?"

Sheng Yueqing was also taken aback by their display and hurriedly handed them tissues.

"Give."

The more I looked at her anxious, furrowed brows, the more she resembled the little girl's expression when she was a child, worried that he might get hurt.

The little girl was very young then, but she was very considerate of her father.

Every time I see him injured, his little face looks troubled, and he pouts as he comes over to blow on his wound.

After he smiled and said it was nothing, she burst into tears, feeling wronged.

Even though she's still so young, she's incredibly caring.

She's really his little darling.

The more he thought about it, the more heartbroken he became.

Mrs. Sheng didn't even have time to cry; she comforted him first.

"Didn't you say you had news of your daughter in the south? Did you receive some bad news? Otherwise, why are you crying?"

She was also afraid of hearing bad news.

Otherwise, Lao Sheng wouldn't be so upset.

She knew that his love for his daughter was no less than hers.

Those years were so tough, yet he never let his wife and daughter suffer; he gave them all the food he had.

When I get home at night, I always hold my daughter and tell her stories.

That child was their lifeblood.

I wonder if he heard some bad news.

Mr. Sheng shook his head. "No, I'm just afraid that if my daughter sees that I haven't taken good care of you, she'll blame me."

"You know, she loved to scold me when I was little."

The little girl was very young at the time, but when she saw the couple arguing, she would stand with her hands on her hips and chatter away, trying to educate them.

Even though he couldn't speak clearly, he still mumbled a few words, but he looked very serious, which was quite endearing.

As he was thinking, he looked at Sheng Yueqing again, and somehow, their faces met.

I have a feeling that this girl is the girl they lost.

But he dared not admit it and insisted on checking.

Mrs. Sheng noticed that he kept staring at Sheng Yueqing and clicked her tongue at him.

Why are you staring at Qingqing like that? Don't scare her.

Mr. Sheng quickly explained, "No, I just think she looks a bit like our daughter."

"Look at that beauty mark under her eye, isn't it exactly the same as our girl's?"

Mrs. Sheng looked up and saw that it was indeed true.

"But our girl's beauty mark will be a little smaller."

The little girl was a beauty from a young age; even the doting old lady Sheng praised her for being pretty.

Looking at Sheng Yueqing again, she does seem to resemble her somewhat.

Her small face is a very pretty oval face, and her big almond-shaped eyes look bright and lively; she is a quintessential beauty from the Jiangnan region.

Then look at the shallow dimple under the corner of her mouth; she does look a bit like her daughter when she was little.

Mrs. Sheng suddenly stopped.

He suddenly looked at Sheng Yueqing, then took out the photo of his daughter from his pocket watch and compared it.

Two faces, one big and one small, inexplicably met.

Mrs. Sheng trembled slightly.

"Old Sheng..."

Mr. Sheng understood and quickly hugged her, whispering, "Don't say anything yet, let's find out first."

Mrs. Sheng's tears fell, but she pursed her lips, not daring to cry.

Seeing them hugging, Sheng Yueqing couldn't bear to watch any longer and silently walked away.
