As people began to gather around, the middle-aged man's previously naive demeanor vanished, replaced by a sharp glint in his eyes.
"Let go. They are my children. We are their parents. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being impolite."
Xie Guihua was frightened by his fierce appearance, but she still refused to let go.
The two men were clearly con artists. She let go, and what awaited the child was a den of wolves.
She couldn't understand why the two children had run out on their own, but now was not the time to worry about that; saving lives was the priority.
“You say they’re your children? Fine, tell me their names. I’ll let go as long as you tell me their names.”
The middle-aged woman slapped Xie Guihua's hand hard, the sound of the slaps was painful, and her hands gripped Xie Guihua's hand tightly like vises.
She grew impatient and raised her foot to kick Xie Guihua, but despite being so close, she missed and staggered, failing to stop herself from doing a split on the spot.
That's unbelievable, how could her leg bend?
Seeing her fall, Xie Guihua quickly snatched Xu Lan from her arms.
The woman managed to brace herself against the ground with her free hand, preventing her from straining her leg. She slammed her fist on the ground as she got up, glaring fiercely at Xie Guihua.
"Hey girl, are you out of your mind? Snatching a child in broad daylight? We were just out having fun with our kids, how did we run into a lunatic like you?"
“Give the children back to me. They’re tired from playing and we need to take them home to rest. If you keep obstructing us, don’t blame me for sending you to see the police.”
The people gathered around were pointing and whispering.
These days, ordinary people try to stay as far away from law enforcement officers as possible, so the woman's willingness to bring it up suggests she must truly be a relative of the child.
Some people advised Xie Guihua not to do anything foolish and to return the child to the family.
Xie Guihua became anxious.
"No, they are really not the child's relatives. If they were, how could they not know the child's name?"
"They are just people who take pictures of flowers. These two children are from our compound."
"Brother, sister, please help me. They really aren't the children's parents. I know the children's father. He's a soldier, and I'm a soldier's family member. I can't possibly lie."
Upon hearing that they were soldiers, the people who had been speaking up for the middle-aged man and woman fell silent.
An old woman asked, "Do you really know their father? Is their father really a soldier?"
The old lady's son is a soldier who has been protecting the homeland of China with his life for ten years. She feels sorry for him, but she is also proud.
Soldiers who give their lives for their country are the most admirable; they protect the people, and the people should protect their children in return.
“It’s true, their father is a people’s hero, Auntie. I’m telling the truth. My husband and their father were comrades-in-arms. They live near my house.”
"I've never seen these two people before. If they are their parents, how could I not recognize them?"
"Moreover, the children only have a father now, they don't have a mother at all. Their mother died in childbirth. This person who claims to be the children's mother is a liar."
"The children do have a stepmother, but she never takes them out to play, let alone holds them."
“A few days ago, during a strong wind and heavy rain, she still let such a young child go to the cafeteria to get food for her. The child got soaked in the rain and became delirious with fever, but she didn’t care. It was me and other neighbors who watched over her. How could she be so kind as to bring a child out to play?”
“Everything I said is true. If you don’t believe me, you can report it to the police and let them investigate.”
The onlookers hesitated.
Middle-aged men and women dare to report to the police, and so does the woman who snatched the child. Who is right and who is wrong?
Shishi patted Nannan's calf, and Nannan's little feet, clad in socks, landed right on Gong'an's face as he lay there.
It means: Stop watching, it's your turn to take the stage.
Gong An, who was watching the show with a sheepish grin, touched his nose, completely engrossed in the spectacle.
What Xie Guihua said in her haste opened their eyes.
You really have to be careful when choosing a wife, or you'll be left without an heir in no time.
Child abuse, child selling, tsk tsk tsk.
The two men glanced sympathetically at the furious Xu Jianghai, shook their heads, and bravely jumped down with a thud.
The messenger of justice descended from the sky; justice may be late, but it has arrived.
"Who is reporting to the police? We just happen to be passing by."
The two pairs of blue uniforms dazzled everyone, and they all thought to themselves at the same time: Why are you passing by on the roof? Are you watching a show up there?
The middle-aged man and woman knew something was wrong as soon as they heard the word "soldier." They cursed the people who had come looking for them and Zhou Miao in their hearts, and were thinking about how to escape in a reasonable way.
The man was still holding Xu Ying. Losing one wouldn't be a big loss; he could just sell her for a higher price. Anyway, there were plenty of men in the mountains, and she could be a child bride for several men.
The two exchanged glances and took advantage of the chaos to slip out of the encirclement. They had barely squeezed through an opening and hadn't even taken a step when the police appeared.
And so it appeared, blatantly obvious.
The two panicked and abandoned Xu Ying, running away as fast as they could.
Hidden in the crowd, the young woman stretched out her short legs and tripped the man who was closest to her. In a moment of panic, the man grabbed the woman, trying to use her strength to steady himself.
With a sweeping leg, the young master swept away two people, causing them to lose their balance and fall heavily to the ground.

It sounds like a bone dislocation.
The little girl didn't care who was in pain, so she plopped down on the man, pressing her chubby body down hard.
The woman was on the lowest level; her left hand wasn't positioned correctly, and it snapped with a crack.
"ah!"
Everyone: ...What a vicious little guy.
Xie Guihua recognized Xiao Shi and felt relieved to know that she had help. She quickly went to help Xu Ying up from the ground.
