Let's go back 45 minutes.

Firefox got out of Pei Fengzhi's car, holding a black card, and blew a kiss to Pei Fengzhi inside the car.

The little star, hiding in the grass, saw everything clearly and stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

He never imagined that Pei Fengzhi was actually... a bad person.

He betrayed his mother...

Little Star simply couldn't accept this possibility. She covered her mouth, trying her best not to cry out loud. In order to avoid being discovered by Pei Fengzhi, she secretly climbed out from the other side of the bushes and then quietly ran away.

Only when they were far away did Little Star continue to cry and wander aimlessly through the villa area.

Tears fell heavily, pattering down onto the weeds and the ground at my feet, scattering along the way.

Little Star wiped away her tears, tilting her head back, completely unaware of where she was, and just kept walking forward.

The more I wiped away the tears, the more my vision blurred. The lights in front of me overlapped, creating a dim and chaotic scene. I couldn't even see the road ahead.

Little Star must have fallen countless times along the way. He was covered in mud, with scrapes on his face and body. He was sweating and muddy all over, as if he had been pulled out of a muddy pond.

Little Star cried even louder, her soft sobs gradually turning into loud wailing.

For the first time, Little Star felt the suffocating feeling of heartbreak.

His tiny heart shattered into countless pieces, and he felt like he was about to die. No matter how much he cried, he couldn't release that feeling.

The little star wandered aimlessly, unaware of where it was.

Suddenly, he bumped into a wall of flesh and fell to the ground with a thud. He felt as if his buttocks had shattered into countless pieces, his chest ached, and his body ached even more.

Little Star sat there, blinked, and stared blankly for a long time, unable to react for quite some time.

It wasn't until the pain in his bottom kept coming and reached his brain that the slow-to-react little guy finally tilted his head back, opened his mouth wide towards the sky, and burst into loud sobs.

Li Mochuan, who had been bumped, looked down and silently watched Xiao Xingxing, who was sitting on the ground crying so hard she was about to faint. His brows furrowed more and more tightly.

He really wanted to ignore it, but the little guy was crying so loudly that if he did, it would be like committing a hit-and-run.

But it was clearly this little guy who bumped into me without even looking.

Li Mochuan hesitated for a moment, then walked up to the little guy and looked down at Xiao Xingxing, who was sitting on the ground crying her heart out, and called out twice.

"Hey, kid!"

"Hey! Stop crying!"

Suddenly, a deep male voice reached Little Star's ear. His voice was husky and occasionally lingering, which was both sexy and pleasant to listen to.

Upon hearing this voice, Little Star couldn't help but think of his father, who had just betrayed his mother, and became even more heartbroken.

"Wow--"

The child's cries were so piercing, it was as if his favorite toy had been snatched away, and he seemed to want to tear a piece of the sky off.

The piercing cry churned incessantly in Li Mochuan's ears, almost turning his brain into a chaotic mess.

Li Mochuan felt like he was going crazy.

Kids are the most annoying thing.

Li Mochuan turned to leave, but Xiao Xingxing suddenly cried even louder and even reached out a hand to grab Li Mochuan's suit trouser leg.

Li Mochuan looked down and glanced at the child who was covering his face, crying, and secretly looking at him.

The child was covered in mud, and his face was smeared with tears and snot, making him look even uglier. He was so small, like a little puppy that had been abandoned on the roadside, pitiful and aggrieved.

Li Mochuan frowned, feeling disgusted by the other person's filth.

He has obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness.

Even if you're not a germaphobe, who would want to let a dirty kid from the street touch them, not knowing if they have any germs?

He coldly commanded Little Star.

"release!"

The little star seemed a little scared, but still murmured softly.

"You knocked me down, you should apologize to me."

The little one cried until his voice was hoarse, which made him sound even more pitiful.

Li Mochuan scoffed, about to kick the dirty kid away.

He had no pity for such children, and besides, he was not a good person to begin with.

But the moment the child looked up, the streetlight shone down, and Li Mochuan met those cat-like, crystal-clear eyes.

Li Mochuan was taken aback.

This child...

This child's eyes...

As if by some strange twist of fate, Li Mochuan suddenly put his foot down after raising it.

He originally came here to find Ye Ningwan, but looking down at the dirty child, Li Mochuan sighed silently in his heart.

Forget it, let's deal with this little thing first.

He took out his phone and made a call, giving the address before the person on the other end could say anything.

Within five minutes, several tall men in black suits appeared in front of Li Mochuan.

Little Star looked at the men, somewhat frightened. She practically clung to Li Mochuan's calves, her nose twitching, her eyes still brimming with tears, but she no longer let out the same piercing cries as before.

The man in the black suit who was in the lead glanced at Little Star, who was clinging to Li Mochuan's leg, and was slightly surprised.

He stepped forward and asked Li Mochuan.

"Mr. Li, who is this child?"
