It wasn't until she felt the warmth of her child's body that Xie Mingzhu truly felt that she had found her son.

Tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks; Xie Mingzhu's eyes were red-rimmed, and her sobs trembled.

Jiang Jiang was initially quite happy to see Xie Mingzhu, but before she could even exchange a few words with her aunt, her aunt started crying.

The little guy quickly patted Xie Mingzhu's back with his little hands, offering comfort in a very convincing manner.

"Don't cry, Auntie! Who bullied you? Jiangjiang will go and chase the bad guys away for you!"

Xie Mingzhu was at a loss for words, choking back tears and unable to speak. She hugged her child even tighter, using the embrace to replace all words.

Jiang Jiang blinked, not resisting, and let Xie Mingzhu hold her like that. On the contrary, she felt that the embrace was quite warm and she enjoyed it very much. She pressed her little face against Xie Mingzhu's shoulder, as if she wished she could be held like this forever.

Grandpa Gu, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but tug at Xie Mingzhu's shoulder.

"Hey, young comrade, what are you doing holding my grandson... You're not a child trafficker, are you?"

After retiring, the old man had nothing to do, so he spent all day listening to the news on the radio. Recently, he's been hearing a lot about the trafficking of women and children.

Upon hearing this, the old man couldn't help but frown and become wary, scrutinizing Xie Mingzhu from head to toe.

Upon closer inspection, it suddenly seemed somewhat familiar.

"Hey? Aren't you the girl at the door just now? The security guard said the police station was looking for you, and you just ran out. Why are you back?"

Jiang Jiang immediately tensed up.

"Auntie, why did you go to the police station? Did something happen? Or did someone bully you?"

The little guy immediately rolled up his sleeves.

"Auntie, don't be afraid. Tell Jiangjiang, and Jiangjiang will go and chase them away!"

"If all else fails... Jiangjiang, you can ask Gu Yanjun to help you drive them away!"

The child's innocent voice echoed in her ears. Xie Mingzhu tried hard to control her emotions, wiped away her tears, and looked at Jiang Jiang with red eyes.

"Jiangjiang, didn't you say that you would be very happy if I were your mother?"

Jiang Jiang, not understanding, nodded blankly.

"Yes, Auntie, would you like to be my mom?!"

Xie Mingzhu tenderly brushed away the stray hairs from Jiang Jiang's forehead.

"Silly child, it's not that I'm becoming your mother, it's that I've always been your mother..."

Before Jiang Jiang could react, Old Master Gu behind her was first stunned, then walked around to the front in disbelief, his cloudy eyes suddenly widening as he stared at Xie Mingzhu in disbelief.

"You...you are..."

Xie Mingzhu stood up, looked at Grandpa Gu, and then at the guards who were respectfully following behind him. She guessed that this must be the old man who took in Jiang Jiang back then.

Xie Mingzhu took a deep breath and asked as clearly as possible.

"Was this the child you met in front of the blacksmith's shop back then?"

Was he wearing dark brown clothes and had a lucky charm around his neck at the time?

The old man was startled.

They match, they all match...

"You...you're the child's biological mother? You even let the police check our information?"
