"Do you want any snacks? They're in the cabinet at your feet. Take whatever you want." Su Zhou is very patient with children. To be precise, she is very patient with any child who doesn't make a fuss. Yao Yao is very well-behaved and pretty. When she's not talking, she's like a quiet doll. She tends to spoil such a well-behaved child.

Yao Yao gently shook her head. She had been in the sweltering car for too long, and her face was pale and sickly. She hadn't fully recovered yet.

Su Zhou simply took out a bottle of chilled milk-flavored beverage and handed it to her, with a straw already inserted.

The car has been modified to maximize comfort. To satisfy my cravings, there's a special box for snacks and a small refrigerator for drinks, so I can have something to eat whenever I'm thirsty or hungry.

Yao Yao was very wary. She remembered her mother saying that she shouldn't eat food from strangers. Although the drink had already been opened, she showed no intention of drinking it.

Su Zhou then remembered something else. She saw in the surveillance footage that the trafficker had only patted Yao Yao on the shoulder, and Yao Yao had obediently gone with him.

Similar cases have occurred in recent years, involving the use of drugs to temporarily paralyze victims' nerves. The businesses or supply chains that provide these services should also be thoroughly investigated.

Su Zhou added this extra piece of information to Officer Su.

We drove to the zoo around 2 or 3 pm. After having a proper meal, we also had some spicy hot pot. I felt like I was about to burst from being so full.

Fortunately, Yao Yao was brought back safely.

Chen Yuyu hugged her daughter tightly, still feeling terrified: "I was so worried! I was afraid I would never see you again."

There are still a considerable number of abducted children in China, and a significant portion of them are women. Some of them have been found through family reunification websites, but the number of those who have not been found is much larger.

Countless families have been torn apart because of this. Some mothers have turned gray overnight because of the loss of their children, some couples have completely fallen apart because of the loss of their children, and some elderly people who love their children and grandchildren have fallen ill and become bedridden because of the disappearance of their grandchildren... This kind of thing should indeed be taken seriously.

Su Zhou watched the mother and daughter reunite with indulgence, her expression slightly relaxed. The others were also deeply moved by the scene before them.

"Great! I knew the headmaster wouldn't leave empty-handed."

"This kind of luck is simply incredible, it has to be our kindergarten director."

"Well... it's really hard to guard against. With so many people, it's inevitable that some scum will slip in. The main problem is that the current system really can't detect them."

The employees huddled together, whispering amongst themselves. Chen Yuyu held Yao Yao's shoulder; the milk tea had melted and wasn't cold to the touch anymore.

Yao Yao whispered, "Mommy, I want to drink milk tea."

Chen Yuyu was slightly taken aback. She touched the cup of milk tea with her hand and said, "It's not cold anymore. Shall we go and buy another cup?"

Yao Yao hadn't spoken for a long time, so it was already quite an achievement that she was able to speak up now. Chen Yuyu held back her urge to cry and handed the milk tea to her daughter.

"Drink up, drink up. Kids shouldn't drink too much cold stuff. I think the temperature is just right now. Try it and see if you like it." Su Zhou smiled, her eyes crinkling. After all, this incident happened in the zoo, although subjectively... it wasn't the zoo's fault, it should be the human traffickers' fault.

Yao Yao took a big sip of her milk tea, her eyes narrowing slightly, "Mom, you drink too."

Chen Yuyu burst into tears. She spoke haltingly, "My ex-husband and I just got divorced not long ago. We both graduated from Nanjing University, so we are considered highly educated families. His family was even better off than ours. His parents were both university professors. I come from the countryside, and my family's conditions were not as good as theirs."

“I know that his family has always looked down on me. I have worked very hard over the years. I bought my own house in full before marriage, and my salary has gradually increased after marriage. I have borne most of the household expenses.”

"Before we got married, he said we wouldn't have children and would save money to travel around when we got old. He knew I was afraid of pain and childbirth, and even knew that his family had always disapproved of me, but he still went against everyone's wishes and waited for me to marry him. After we got married... at first our relationship was very good, but then he said we needed a child to carry on the family line to shut his parents up, and he promised to take good care of me, but I gave birth to a daughter..."

Chen Yuyu stroked her daughter's head, her eyes filled with sorrow. In just a few short years, a person could be completely changed, becoming someone she didn't recognize at all.

“His family is quite traditional. Although they are all highly educated, they still prefer to carry on the family line. After his daughter was born, he came home later and later and ignored her. Meanwhile, I was in the prime of my career, and the family’s expenses mainly depended on me. I was working overtime every day and rarely had time to spend with her.”

“She’s in the most expensive kindergarten in our area. I want to do everything I can to give her the best life… She is my whole world. If she were really kidnapped by human traffickers today, I would hate myself for the rest of my life, and I would not live on.”

Chen Yuyu took a deep breath to calm herself down. Looking at Yao Yao's obedient appearance, her heart melted completely. "Thank you... thank you for helping me find her. Is there anything in your zoo that needs repair? I can help you with that."

She seemed to realize that what she said was a bit silly. Everyone said that the daughter of the richest man opened a zoo, and that the zoo had excellent facilities and very affordable prices. After entering, she found that this was indeed the case.

Laymen watch the spectacle, experts watch the details.

Chen Yuyu could tell that just keeping the zoo at a temperature of over 20 degrees Celsius in the middle of summer would cost a lot of money; it was practically burning money.

Su Zhou shook her head. "This is what we should do. After all, this happened in our zoo, so we should be responsible. By the way... how long do you plan to stay in Beijing? Judging from your accents, you're not locals. Did you come here specifically to have fun?"

"How about this? We'll cover all your travel, hotel, and other expenses in Beijing. You can even stay at the zoo if you want. Are you satisfied with this?"
