Chapter 160 How come it's you?

Before the little boy could finish speaking, three or four young men wielding wooden sticks chased out from the corner of the house.

"You little bastard, stop right there! Or I'll break your legs."

"You dare to resist us on our turf? I think you're asking for trouble, let's beat you up!"

The little boy looked at the people chasing him in terror, and tried to run away in a panic, but when he saw two teenagers coming out from the other side, he retreated step by step.

He was panicked and terrified, his obsidian eyes flashing with humiliation and resentment.

Two small fists were held horizontally in front of her chest, and her lips trembled on her tense little face.

She couldn't help but recall the difficult days she had spent alone away from home.

He sighed heavily. "You've angered everyone, haven't you? Do you need help?"

She said that, but her actions betrayed her words as she stood in front of the little boy, bent down, picked up a few pebbles, and handed them to him.

"Little friend, you can't lose face, even if you lose. When you're bullied, you can't just run away; you have to fight back fiercely."

We'll beat them until they're completely convinced!

This is a lesson she has learned over the years.

When she first went abroad, alone in a foreign land, she felt fearful, lost, and timid, hiding in the safe castle of kindness and tolerance.

However, kindness is often taken advantage of.

They were hurt and insulted time and time again.

Books were torn up, everyday items mysteriously disappeared, and people were inexplicably wronged and mocked.

They might even maliciously put leftover food scraps into their rice bowls.

She mustered her courage to resist.

The first time I threw my roommate's blanket into the bathroom to soak in water, I beat her up.

Life only gradually became peaceful amidst violence and resistance to violence.

The little boy looked at her in disbelief, mechanically took the stone, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but when he met Su Meng's encouraging gaze, he turned and threw it at the person who was shouting the loudest.

Seeing that he dared to fight back, the young men immediately surrounded him like fierce demons.

Ah Da raised a thick eyebrow, snorted coldly, and stepped in front of him, standing like a towering mountain, looking down at the people who were rushing over with sticks in their hands. "This is a gang fight, bullying the weak, and disrupting social order. Come with me to the police station."

The group of thugs exchanged a glance and then scattered.

The little boy let go, and pebbles fell all over the ground. "Thank you!"

Su Meng nodded. "It's getting dark! Let's go back now."

They originally thought it was just a trivial matter to do casually.

But when Su Meng and A Da headed to the final location of the clues—Xiaoqiao Village in Ningxiang—they encountered the group of thugs and... a little boy struggling in the pond once again.

"What are you doing?" Seeing that the little boy was about to sink into the water, Su Meng rushed over and wanted to jump into the pond.

She didn't know why, but she just couldn't bear to see the little boy suffer.

"I'll go!" Ah Da was the first to jump into the pond, and he took three or four thugs with him who were laughing maliciously with him.

Su Meng picked up a wooden stick from the ground and fiercely chased after the people who were scattering and running away, beating them.

"Xiao Meng, come back."

Hearing Ah Da's shout, Su Meng turned back.

Seeing the two people with their arms crossed and dripping wet, her eyes reddened.

"Uncle, go change your clothes quickly." He said, taking off one of the thugs' clothes and handing it to the little boy, "This is yours."

He silently took it and went behind the only haystack by the roadside.

Not long after, A-Da came out carrying the little boy, his expression complicated, his voice hoarse and trembling, "Xiao Meng, he... has blue water droplets."

Su Meng suddenly stood up, staring intently at the little boy: "...Really?!"

Could it be such a coincidence?

Without a word, she pulled open the little boy's collar and saw the birthmark on his shoulder blade. Her fingers trembled. "It really is there! Uncle, it can't be wrong, right?"

Ah Da shook his head and said firmly, "There's no mistake! He has the mark your dad left on his butt."

Upon hearing this, the little boy nervously gripped his waistband, looked at Su Meng warily, and his ear tips turned bright red.

Su Meng chuckled, poking his dimple on the left side of his cheek with her finger. "You must be my little brother. Little brother, what's your name? Where do you live?"

"My name is Huo Tianyou, and I live in Daqiao Village."

Ah Da raised an eyebrow, "Is there a Xiaoqiao Village around here?"

"Yes." Huo Tianyou cautiously hid on the other side of A'da, his little hand always on his waistband, occasionally stealing glances at Su Meng on the other side.

Su Meng laughed out loud, "Can you take us to your house?"

Huo Tianyou was a man of few words.

Su Meng asked a question, and he answered it.

I learned that he was exactly ten years old, in the second grade in town, and walked home every week.

Ah Da also suppressed his imposing aura and walked behind them, carrying his wet clothes.

The sky gradually darkened.

Several people walked along a mountain path, using flashlights.

The little boy stopped talking and led the way with a tense posture.

Suddenly, seeing a flashlight swaying in front of him, the little boy excitedly said, "It must be my family coming to pick me up."

As the person approached, Su Meng froze, "How come it's you?"

I was only focused on asking about Huo Tianyou's personal situation and haven't asked about his family yet.

Su Meng was completely stunned when she saw Huo Zhenhua.

The person you've been thinking about day and night, the person who suddenly disappeared, suddenly appears in front of you... It's really... shocking!

Huo Zhenhua was also taken aback for a moment, then grinned, "Xiaomeng, Uncle, what brings you here? Come on! Let's go home together."

Ah Da sighed softly, "What a coincidence!"

He knew that Huo Zhenhua had returned to his hometown, and he also had a premonition that Ningxiang was Huo Zhenhua's hometown.

But I didn't expect to run into it so soon.

He frowned, looking at Su Meng, then at Huo Zhenhua, "We're not here for a wedding banquet; we're here to find someone."

"Commander Huo, we won't disturb you any longer."

After saying that, she grabbed Huo Tianyou and tried to leave.

When they found Huo Zhenhua's hometown at this time, people thought they had traveled a long way to pursue their love and wanted to insert themselves into Huo Zhenhua's life.

Doesn't this just prove Liu Cuihua's point about "clinging to Huo Zhenhua and refusing to let go"?

Su Meng also thought of this. She pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, pushed off with her heels, and turned around.

Huo Zhenhua was taken aback.

He stepped in front of them, looked sincerely at A-Da and Su Meng, and said urgently, "Uncle, Xiao Meng, you've misunderstood."

I don't have a fiancée, and there's no wedding banquet here.

My grandma was bribed and caused all this mess.

I've taken care of everything now; I'm just waiting to get back and arrest the man who instigated my grandmother.

Ah Da glanced at Su Meng, who remained silent, and asked, "Who instigated this?"

Huo Zhenhua: "The Sun family members have probably been arrested by now. I heard they also trafficked Nie Pingting."

I received information today that the man with the scar is behind them.

"The scarred man? Are you sure?" Su Meng repeated, "Why would he target your grandmother?"

If their feelings are strong, then such little tricks are nothing to them.

Huo Zhenhua stared intently at her with his dark eyes. "Shall we talk as we walk?"

After a moment's hesitation, Ah Da pointed at Huo Tianyou and said, "Tell me about your relationship with him first."
