In fact, he even doubted whether Xu Jinning knew that her true feelings could be heard by him.

He felt that Xu Jinning might not know either.

But, no matter whether Xu Jinning knew it or not.

It’s enough for him to know it. It’s enough for him to know that it was Xu Jinning’s true feelings that saved him.

So, this gratitude must be there.

When he picked up these things today, Zhang Changzheng even felt that these things were too light.

These things were not only bought by him, but also by his wife.

Although he could not tell his wife that he could hear Xu Jinning's inner thoughts, he told her that Xu Jinning reminded him to carry a gun in his dream, and that he met Xu Jinning on the day he found out that his wife was pregnant. This made his wife believe that Xu Jinning was a lucky star.

Of course, he and his wife are grateful for more than just these decisions;

"Brother Xu, sister-in-law, I'm here today for another thing. Xuemei and I both like Ningning very much. We hope to adopt Ningning as our goddaughter. I wonder if you and Ningning are willing to do so?" Zhang Changzheng said after hesitating.

Zhang Changzheng felt that his decision was a bit shameless. If Ningning was really a lucky star, then in the eyes of others, he was just benefiting from Ningning's luck in disguise.

However, he didn't have this idea.

He was just thinking about the path he would take in the future, and he hoped that his future self, with that identity, could bring some help and glory to Ningning.

"By the way, Brother Xu, sister-in-law, didn't the newspaper say that I would be rewarded? In fact, the reward has already been given. The leader of our bureau was transferred and promoted because of this incident. He told me before he left that I would take over his position in the future."

"Really? Congratulations then."

Upon hearing that Zhang Changzheng was promoted, Xu Aiguo and others were very happy for him.

"So, Brother Xu, sister-in-law, can Xuemei and I adopt Ningning as our goddaughter?" Zhang Changzheng asked again.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course we are willing to do it. Even if you are not my goddaughter, I will treat you as my brother. Ningning is also your and Sister Xuemei's niece. But I have to ask Ningning's opinion on this matter."

"Ningning, your uncle Changzheng and aunt Xuemei want to adopt you as their goddaughter. Are you willing?" Zhang Ailian turned her head and asked Xu Jinning.

Zhang Changzheng also looked at Xu Jinning with hope in his eyes, and said, "Ningning, uncle likes you very much. Although your aunt Xuemei is pregnant and busy, she didn't come this time, but she will definitely like you. I asked her about this, and her expectations are the same as mine. So, Ningning, are you willing to be the goddaughter of your uncle Changzheng and aunt Xuemei? We can't guarantee that we will treat you as our own daughter, but we will definitely help and protect you when you need us. Xuemei and I, like your Xu family, are the most protective of our shortcomings."

"So, are you willing?"

Xu Jinning was slightly stunned, and after reacting, he nodded, "I do."

You must be kidding. Don't you think about Zhang Changzheng's current and future positions? Such a powerful person took the initiative to acknowledge her as his goddaughter. How could she not be willing?

This will only benefit her now and in the future, and will not cause any harm. She would be a fool to be unwilling to do this.

"You agreed. That's great."

Not only Zhang Changzheng was happy, but the Xu family was also happy for Xu Jinning.

Since Xu Aiguo had to rush to work and everyone else had to go about their business, Zhang Changzheng did not delay for long.

However, Xu Aiguo’s way to work is the same as Zhang Changzheng’s way back to the county town.

The two went to the county town together, but there were not just the two of them. There was also Xu Jinning sitting in the back seat of Xu Aiguo's car.

Because of the human trafficker incident and also because of his promotion, Zhang Changzheng was able to take a few days off.

His wife happened to be resting at home today, and Ningning had nothing to do at home alone, so he planned to take Ningning to his house and meet her future godmother.

Xu Jinning couldn't refuse the invitation, so he went along.

Soon, they arrived at Zhang Changzheng's home, and Xu Jinning also met her future godmother, Chen Xuemei.

Chen Xuemei has a very good personality and is gentle and kind. She is a very simple and kind person.

Xu Jinning sensed her kindness and fell in love with this godmother.

Xu Jinning stayed here for a whole day. Chen Xuemei took her to visit the county town. At noon, Zhang Changzheng personally cooked a table of delicious dishes to entertain Xu Jinning.

Xu Jinning lived very happily in their home. In the evening, when Xu Aiguo came to pick her up, she was reluctant to leave. This time she was no longer reserved and affectionately took Chen Xuemei's arm. Although they had not yet officially become godparents, she had already called Chen Xuemei her godmother and Zhang Changzheng her godfather.

Xu Aiguo knew at a glance that his little girl was having a good time at Zhang Changzheng's house today, and he was happy too.

From now on, there will be one more person to protect his Ningning.

Before leaving, Zhang Changzheng pulled Xu Aiguo aside and talked about investigating the birth of Zhang Ailian and Mrs. Lin in the hospital fifteen years ago.

"…This matter has been delayed a while ago because of the human traffickers, but I will continue to investigate and will definitely restore the truth."

Before, Zhang Changzheng investigated this matter, including how Xu Jinning lived in those fifteen years, only because Xu Aiguo asked him to do so.

But now, it’s different. Xu Jinning is his and his wife’s goddaughter.

He must investigate the truth of that year. If the wrong baby was really a conspiracy of the Lin couple, then it must be exposed. Ningning's previous suffering would not be in vain.

He felt sad when he thought about Ningning's life in the past 15 years that he had investigated.

The little girl had really suffered a lot before.

But if Ningning could have enjoyed happiness and grown up with her family, but was deliberately switched to suffer these hardships, it would be unforgivable.

Xu Aiguo patted Zhang Changzheng on the shoulder, then looked at Xu Jinning who was saying goodbye to Chen Xuemei on the other side, and said: "Well, I'll leave this matter to you. You are Ningning's godfather, and I feel at ease leaving it to you." - "Abei, Abei..."

One day, when Xu Xiangbei was recording work points in the fields, he suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice calling him.

He turned around and saw someone waving at him from a distance.

He looked carefully and narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw that it was Cui Zhiqiang.

This guy actually dared to come to him.

On the other side, Cui Zhiqiang saw Xu Xiangbei looking back and waved more actively, hoping that Xu Xiangbei would come over.

Xu Xiangbei had just finished taking notes and walked over with his notebook and pen.

But when he got closer and saw Cui Zhiqiang's appearance, he was shocked.
