Yuanbao was wearing a blue denim jacket and jeans today, and still carrying his SpongeBob SquarePants yellow backpack. After he came out of the small shop, he saw a bus parked at the door. He did the same thing, grabbing an adult's sleeve and getting on the bus with him.
Uncle Lin had told him that short children don't have to pay for bus rides, so he didn't have to pay.
It wasn't rush hour, and the bus wasn't crowded. Little Yuanbao went to the back corner, found a chair, and sat down obediently. Surprisingly, no one around him noticed anything amiss. Perhaps they subconsciously assumed that an adult should be on the bus if such a young child was riding it.
Several hours later, the police finally found a clue.
When Yan Xu received the call, he was looking for someone with Ye Zhao.
"Any news?" The serious expression on his face finally relaxed a little, and he quickly turned on the speakerphone.
"Mr. Yan, we checked all the vehicles that passed by the farm this morning and found that your child got on a rural-urban bus with a few people. We are still checking the surveillance footage to see where he got off the bus..."
Finally, there was some news. Ye Zhao was so excited that she almost cried. She hurriedly told the police on the other end of the phone to call her as soon as they found any information.
At this moment, Shen Du and Jiang Che, who had come from City A, also got off the plane. The two came out through a special passage and rushed to the city without stopping.
As soon as Jiang Che got in the car, he called Ye Zhao. After she answered, he hurriedly asked, "Zhao Zhao, I just got off the plane. Where are you now? Is there any news about the child?"
Hearing his voice, Ye Zhao felt inexplicably at ease and quickly replied, "We're heading to the city to look for the child. The police said they saw him get on a bus, and they're still checking where he got off..."
Hearing that her mood had improved significantly and that there was news about Yuanbao, Jiang Che breathed a sigh of relief. After hanging up the phone, he rushed over to the location sent by Ye Zhao.
Upon hearing this news, Shen Du breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound.
Yuanbao was sitting on the bus, looking out the window with curiosity. Suddenly, he saw something, and his eyes lit up. As soon as the driver stopped the bus, he slid off his seat and jumped off the bus with a few other people.
At the East Bus Station in City B, people came and went, all hurrying along with their luggage, unaware of Yuanbao, who was alone.
Yuanbao, carrying his little yellow backpack, followed a few people into the ticket hall. His big eyes looked around curiously. He saw everyone queuing to buy tickets and wanted to join them, but when he realized he wasn't tall enough, he pouted and looked dejected.
A short while later, he saw a young woman in uniform standing not far away, and his eyes lit up again. However, this time he stood still until he saw several people come up to ask the woman questions, then he slowly walked over.
"Auntie!"
Yuanbao was short, and fearing that the woman wouldn't hear him, he deliberately raised his voice and shouted.
The woman in uniform heard the voice, looked down at him, and seeing that it was a child, she squatted down with a friendly smile: "Hello, little friend!"
Seeing that Yuanbao was in a stable mood and dressed neatly, she didn't think anything of it.
Little Yuanbao looked at her, pointed to the hall behind him, and said, "Auntie, can you help me buy a ticket? I want to ride the bus?"
His voice was soft and gentle, and his tone was very polite, which melted the woman's heart. She quickly asked, "What kind of car would you like to ride in?"
Little Yuanbao's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "I want to go to City A!"
The sound was crisp and lively.
The woman's expression suddenly froze, finally realizing something was wrong. Her expression softened, and she asked with a smile, "Are you traveling alone? Where in City A do you want to go?"
Little Yuanbao looked at her thoughtfully without saying anything. Seeing this, the woman coaxed, "Tell me how many people are with you so I can buy you train tickets, otherwise you won't be able to go."
Little Yuanbao then said hesitantly, "I'm going to find my mom by myself!"
The woman paused slightly, suddenly remembering the message sent in the WeChat work group. Looking at the child in front of her, her eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward to take Yuanbao's hand, saying, "Would you like to come with Auntie? Auntie will buy you tickets."
Yuanbao held her hand and followed her for a while with some doubt. Suddenly, he looked up and asked, "Auntie, isn't that where we go to buy tickets?"
As he spoke, he turned back and pointed to the ticket hall, his hand that was being held slipping away without him noticing.
Seeing his wary expression, the woman knelt down in front of him and pointed to the police station behind her, saying, "Children can't ride in cars without an ID card. Auntie will take you to get one!"
Yuanbao followed the direction she was pointing and saw two police officers standing at the door. His vigilance eased a bit, and he took the woman's hand and followed her over.
The woman led Yuanbao over, and the two police officers on duty saw them, especially Yuanbao, and their eyes lit up. They hurriedly called inside, "Captain Xiao, come out and take a look."
A short while later, a tall, burly man came out. His expression changed instantly when he saw Yuanbao, and he then picked up his phone and made a call.
"The person has been found at the police station of the East Bus Station."
Yuanbao had already walked past, but when he saw the gazes of the group, he suddenly stopped and let go of the woman's hand to run back. However, he was too small and his legs were too short, so he was carried back after only two steps.
"Little friend, where are you going?"
Little Yuanbao glared at him fiercely, saying, "Let go of me! I'm going to find my mom!"
Xiao Yang was strong and healthy, and he could easily hold a three-year-old child in his arms, no matter how much the child struggled, he couldn't move him.
"Don't move, we're taking you to find your mother."
Little Yuanbao struggled with an incredulous look on his face: "Let me go! I want to find my mother! You big bad guy! Let me go!"
Uncle Lin clearly said that the policeman was a good person, but this policeman who wouldn't let him go to his mother is a bad guy.
Xiao Yang held him with one arm, picked up his phone with the other, quickly made a call, and then put it on speakerphone.
The phone was answered after only two rings.
Ye Zhao's voice came through: "Hello?"
Upon hearing this, Yuanbao suddenly stopped, crying pitifully, "Mommy, Mommy! Mommy! Baby misses you so much..."
Ye Zhao's worries, which had lasted all day, finally subsided. Before she could even speak, she burst into tears. Yan Xu, seeing this, breathed a sigh of relief and picked up his phone to let Chen Du and the other person know they were safe. But then someone knocked on the car window.
