Just then, hurried footsteps came from the alley again, followed by a woman running out.

The woman looked to be around thirty years old, with fair skin and wearing frameless glasses. Her attire was originally quite sophisticated, but in her haste, the frames of her glasses were slightly crooked, which she didn't notice. She rushed out of the alley. It was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it was getting late. Apart from Tang Xiaoxiao and her group, there was no one else on the street. So, the woman turned her head and saw them immediately, then ran straight towards them.

Upon seeing the little girl in Tang Xiaoxiao's arms, she called out before even running close, "Guoguo! Guoguo!"

The little girl also stretched out her hand towards the woman, "Mommy!"

Tang Xiaoxiao bent down slightly to put the little girl down, and the girl ran a few steps and jumped into the woman's arms.

The woman raised her hand to touch the child's cheek, and then checked her over. Seeing that although the little girl's eyes were red and she had obviously been crying, she did not look injured, she breathed a sigh of relief and then hugged her daughter tightly and cried.

He was clearly terrified.

Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi exchanged a glance. Seeing this, they didn't want to get involved anymore. However, the man's wrist was still in Han Yunqi's hand, and they couldn't just let him go like that. So Tang Xiaoxiao interrupted the woman's crying: "Sister, do you know this person?"

Hearing her speak, the woman realized that now was not the time for her to break down. She snapped back to reality, wiped away her tears, stood up, glanced at the man, and said angrily, "I don't know him. This thief took my daughter away while I was talking to my neighbor. If it weren't for you two, my daughter would probably be..." She choked up again, then bowed to Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi and said, "Thank you. Please wait two minutes while I make a phone call."

Tang Xiaoxiao nodded slightly. The woman took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then took out her phone to dial a number: "Hey, honey, something happened to Guoguo. Can you come out for a bit... bring Abang with you... I'm at the entrance of xx alley on xx road."

Before long, two more men ran out of the alley.

The older man was clearly the woman's husband, while the other was a young man in his early twenties who bore a resemblance to the woman.

Upon seeing the two men, the woman seemed to have found her anchor and briefly recounted what had just happened to them.

After hearing this, the young man glared at the man, walked straight towards him, and raised his fist to hit him in the face.

"Abang!" The woman's husband stopped him, then nodded to Han Yunqi and said, "Thank you both for your righteous help. We'll take care of this person. Please leave your contact information; we'll definitely thank you handsomely later."

Tang Xiaoxiao observed that although the man was dressed in simple casual clothes, he had an extraordinary demeanor. His speech and behavior exuded the air of someone in a superior position. When she heard that he did not ask to call the police but instead asked them to hand over the person to him, her eyes flashed. She exchanged a glance with Han Yunqi, and Han Yunqi loosened his grip, finally freeing the man. But the next moment, she felt a sharp pain in her leg. It turned out that the young man had kicked her hard in the back of the knee and then pinned her to the ground.

The young man's movements were swift and skillful, clearly indicating he had practiced.

Having released the man, Han Yunqi and Tang Xiaoxiao had no intention of getting involved anymore. Tang Xiaoxiao had intervened because she found the sight of the man holding the little girl inappropriate, and now that the victim had arrived, she saw no need to interfere further.
