Chapter 481 Picked up from the trash can

The two, blinded by the perfume, completely forgot what they had brought with them on their journey home.

Ye Wanxi only discovered Fangfang, who was barely alive in the pet cage, on the second day of the housewarming party, after being reminded by Gao Min.

It wasn't quite that badly injured; it just had a few tufts of hair missing from its back and buttocks, and it seemed a bit down.

After discovering Fangfang's condition, Ye Wanxi hurriedly took it out and carefully examined it. Only after confirming that it had not suffered any internal injuries did she ask Gao Min to quickly send it back to Du Yihuan.

As soon as Fangfang was sent away, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but pick up her little rabbit and scold her, "Kid, we can't bully others just because we're stronger now, you know? Look at you, you've gnawed all over her body. It's one thing if you can get away with it from other places, but why did you attack Fangfang's bottom? If you really like her, you should treat her well, instead of bullying her like a little kid. You'll be disliked if you do that."

The little rabbit listened obediently to the scolding at first, but little did it know that the more it heard, the more something seemed off.

What do you mean by bullying it because you like it? It's clearly because it hates you that you're bullying it!

The little rabbit was full of resentment and dissatisfaction, but had nowhere to vent it, so it could only cluck to express its discontent.

Unfortunately, Ye Wanxi seemed to have already confirmed the truth through her imagination, and was unmoved by its cries. She continued to nag for a long time, afraid that it would grow up crooked.

"..." I'm so angry I could explode.

As the man and his pet were exchanging affections, Tan Hairui came knocking on their door once again.

Compared to their last meeting, Tan Hairui looked much more haggard and disheveled, but his eyes were very bright. They were no longer as calm and aloof as they had been last time; instead, they were quite warm.

"Found it?"

"Found it." Tan Hairui recalled the scene that day, still feeling a mix of relief and lingering fear.

That day, after visiting Ye Wanxi at the film set, he immediately went to the slum area that Ye Wanxi had mentioned to search for her.

That place was very chaotic, belonging to the gray area of ​​the city, where some criminal activities occurred.

The superficial peace is maintained only because no one cares or reports it.

When Tan Hairui first went to investigate, there were quite a few tough guys who were unwilling to cooperate. Tan Hairui didn't have the patience to argue with them, so he had his men beat these scoundrels into submission before he started questioning them.

This defiant action did indeed intimidate these cowardly bullies, and as a result, Tan Hairui quickly learned that a family in the area had indeed recently taken in a child.

That's right, it was picked up, and even picked up from a trash can.

Tan Hairui only learned after reporting the incident to the police that Xie Lihua's two so-called wealthy distant relatives were actually low-level leaders of a human trafficking gang.

The couple had originally planned to leave the city with their child, but unexpectedly, they were recognized at the train station.

In their hasty escape, they may have felt that the crying child was in their way, and the bag they were carrying was torn off by well-meaning people, making it impossible to give the child medicine.

So, they decided to go all the way and leave the child in a trash can in the area, thinking they could get away and come back to find the child later.

Unexpectedly, he was caught red-handed on his way out and never had a chance to turn back.

The two culprits were arrested just after Tan Hairui had finished interrogating those tough guys.

After finding out the address of the family with the extra child, they rushed over immediately.

When I arrived, the husband and wife of the family were arguing.

The reason was that the child had a high fever and needed to see a doctor, but the family was not even able to get enough to eat.

The woman complained that the man couldn't even afford to raise his own child, yet he brought a child home from outside, and even suspected that the child might be his illegitimate child.

Upon hearing that the child had a fever, Tan Hairui disregarded his composure, rushed into the house, picked up the child, and ran away, leaving his bodyguard inside to explain to the couple.

Tan Hairui carried the child all the way to the hospital and managed to save the child in time.

"The doctor said it was fortunate that I brought him in time. Children are weak and can't withstand fever. If I had brought him any later, even if he had survived, his brain would have been damaged."

Tan Hairui spoke of this with a mixture of guilt and relief.

This child has suffered many misfortunes since birth. First, he was in a car accident with his parents, then he was given to human traffickers by his enemies, and later he almost suffocated in a garbage can.

The root of all this lies in his initial carelessness and arbitrariness.

If he had been more careful when he accepted Xie Menghuan, and had someone investigate everything, his daughter and son-in-law wouldn't have died, and his child wouldn't have suffered so much from birth.

"He who survives a great calamity is destined for good fortune. The fact that so many hardships did not harm his life shows that this child is quite blessed."

Hearing this, Tan Hairui showed a rare genuine smile: "Miss Ye is right. The child was found so easily because of the help of a benefactor. Miss Ye is our family's benefactor."

"I dare not take credit for this. I only talked about it. Compared to me, the kind person who found the child did much more."

Tan Hairui's heart stirred slightly, and he smiled faintly, "Of course, I understand Miss Ye's meaning. To thank them for their kindness, I have already sent them a generous reward. But if it weren't for Miss Ye's advice, I wouldn't have been able to find the child in time and avoid more serious consequences. So, this reward is well-deserved."

As Tan Hairui spoke, he pushed a document in front of Ye Wanxi.

Ye Wanxi raised the corner of her eye slightly. This was the first time someone hadn't come up with a check first, but instead had given her a gift directly.

Ye Wanxi was a little curious. She picked up the document and flipped through it, only to find that it was actually a share transfer agreement.

“I heard that Ms. Ye is the spokesperson for this game company and is related to Coach Jiang Lin of the JR esports team as siblings. Coincidentally, I have investments in both this game company and the team. Here are the relevant shareholding information, and from today onwards, these all belong to Ms. Ye. As a token of my gratitude to my child, I hope Ms. Ye will do me the honor of accepting it.”

Ye Wanxi fell silent. If it were anything else, she would have let it go, but she was actually a little tempted by this gift. After all, with this gift, it seemed that she could indirectly become one of her fourth senior brother's bosses.

"I accept this gift. Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Tan."

"Miss Ye, you're too kind."

"However, I'm a little curious, how are those mother and daughter doing now?"

Tan Hairui's eyes flickered slightly: "Naturally, they were handed over to the police. My daughter and son-in-law died because of them, and this matter won't be so easily resolved."

"It's good that Mr. Tan knows what's going on, after all, you still have a grandson to raise."

Tan Hairui's smile remained unchanged as he nodded in agreement.

Just then, the doorbell rang urgently, and occasionally, one could hear the anxious knocking on the door.
