After buying the things, Ye Shuning planned to put them into the research institute first. There were too many things and it was really difficult to carry them.

The father and daughter came to an empty alley. Ye Xingguo observed that there was no one around, so Ye Shuning put the things away. There was a lid on the basket, so others could not see what was inside.

After finishing their shopping, the father and daughter prepared to go back home. As they passed through an alley, they heard the sound of a fight. Looking inside, they saw several half-grown children surrounding a man, punching and kicking him. The man lying on the ground was rolling on the ground.

When Ye Xingguo saw that the person being beaten was also a young boy, he quickly shouted, "What are you doing? Fighting here? I've called the police. Don't leave."

When the teenagers who were beating people heard Ye Xingguo's shouting, they all ran away.

The father and daughter did not chase after him, but walked up to the boy lying on the ground and helped him sit up against the wall.

Ye Shuning saw that the boy was beaten black and blue, but she could also see that he was very handsome. From his appearance alone, she could tell that he was in a miserable state.

His clothes were torn in several places and were extremely dirty, his hair was messy, his lips were chapped, and his face was red, swollen, and dirty.

Ye Shuning looked at the lifeless boy and asked, "Little brother, how are you? Are you okay?"

Ling Xuan's eyes flickered as he looked at the uncle and the pretty sister who had helped him chase away the thugs. Suddenly, his stomach growled, and the intense hunger made it impossible for him to control the growling.

For some reason, Ling Xuan suddenly felt very shy in front of this beautiful sister. He covered his stomach so that the sister wouldn't hear any sound.

Ye Shuning saw the boy holding his stomach and heard his stomach growling, so she knew that the boy must be hungry.

Ye Shuning exchanged a glance with her father, then reached into the basket on her back and took out two meat buns. She handed them to the boy and said, "You must be hungry. Eat some buns."

Ling Xuan looked at the plump white buns. The aroma of the buns went straight into his nostrils, and he couldn't help swallowing.

Ye Xingguo looked at the boy's hesitation and said, "Eat. When you're full, tell us about your situation. If we can help you, we will definitely help you."

Ling Xuan was so hungry that he intuitively believed that the two people in front of him were trustworthy. He decided to take a gamble, took the bun and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

The buns were still warm, and they were meat buns. Ling Xuan had grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth, and had eaten all sorts of delicious food, but he felt that these meat buns were the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life.

In the rest of his life, Ling Xuan never forgot the taste of these buns, nor did he forget the scene of his first meeting with Ye Shuning.

Seeing that the boy was really hungry, Ye Shuning took out a few more buns, which were all eaten by Ling Xuan.

Seeing that the boy had almost finished eating, Ye Shuning said, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Ye Shuning, and the person next to me is my father. Now you can tell me about yourself, right? What's your name? How did you end up on the streets alone? Where are your family members?"

Ye Xingguo didn't say anything. He could see that the young man was very wary of others. His daughter was about the same age as him, so it should be easier for them to communicate.

Ling Xuan lowered his head and remained silent for a while. Just when Ye Shuning thought he would not speak, he spoke. Although he tried his best to speak Mandarin, he still had the accent of Nangangcheng. "My name is Ling Xuan, and I'm from Nangang. A few days ago, I came to the mainland with my father to discuss business with some government departments.

While staying in Haizhou, I was kidnapped and escaped midway. I got off the train in this small county town. I had no identification, no letter of introduction, and no money, so I just wandered around here.

Ye Shuning looked at the young man named Ling Xuan, who looked disheveled but had a distinguished demeanor, and said, "I imagine your family must be a prominent family in Nangang, right?"

Ling Xuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded and said, "My family is a first-class family in Nangang. Our status in Nangang is very important."

Ye Shuning nodded and said, "Then is there a lot of internal strife in your family? The children within the family are fighting for the family property and oppressing each other."

Ling Xuan looked at Ye Shuning in surprise and asked, "How did you know?"

Ye Shuning shrugged and said, "This is a very common phenomenon in many large families. You were kidnapped in the mainland. There is no way you have any enemies in the mainland. It can only be your family's business rivals or someone within your family who did it.

They want to get rid of you in the mainland, and perhaps your father, too. That way, they'll have fewer competitors. They can also cause some trouble for some departments in the mainland."

Ling Xuan grew up in a large family and received an elite education, so of course he was very smart. He understood everything Ye Shuning said. He also agreed with Ye Shuning's inference.

Ye Shuning continued, "You're missing, and your father will definitely look for you. Do you and your father have a fixed place to stay?"

Ling Xuan said, "I was kidnapped in Haizhou. I thought my father would definitely look for me and that I would definitely stay in Haizhou. I am his only son, and he would never abandon me. But I have no ID, no letter of introduction, and no money, so I can't go to Haizhou at all.

I was afraid that someone was watching the various government departments, so I didn't dare to show up and ask the government for help."

Ye Shuning frowned upon hearing this. Ling Xuan's identity was very sensitive, and bringing him home might bring trouble to the family. But leaving a teenager like him outside was even more worrying.

She was thinking about whether to send Ling Xuan to Haizhou or to inform his father of Ling Xuan's whereabouts. If something went wrong and the enemy got the news, Ling Xuan might be in danger.

Ye Shuning hesitated. She turned to her father and said, "Dad, we can't just ignore this. What do you think we should do?"

Ye Xingguo touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's take him home first, but we have to go back at night so that no one else can see him. I'll send him to Haizhou in a couple of days. It's best to hand him over to his father, so that he'll be safe."

Ling Xuan listened to the conversation between the father and daughter and said excitedly: "Do you really want to help me?"

Ye Shuning said, "Little brother, you should also know the situation in China. We can't bring you home openly, so we can only ask you to hide in my house for two days, and then we will send you to Haizhou and send you back to your father.

You can’t tell anyone except your father that we helped you.”

Ling Xuan was extremely grateful and assured her, "Don't worry, sister. I will never tell anyone else, and I won't let my father tell anyone else."

Ling Xuan felt that he had met good people. He could see from the eyes of the father and daughter that they were truly helping him. He would remember this kindness and would definitely repay them in the future.
