Chapter 2: Poor Little One



"Lu Jiaming? Why did you run out? Go back quickly! How am I going to explain to your brother if you get hurt here?"

Lu Jiaming, who was in a daze, was brought back to his senses by the shout. He blinked and turned his head, looking at the two police sisters who had subdued the human traffickers, and showed a well-behaved and harmless smile.

"I heard the police station is short-staffed, so I came out to help." Lu Jiaming raised his hand and touched his nose. "Anyway, I'm here today, and this is just a piece of cake. The three of them are no match for me."

"You little brat, you're so arrogant!" Zhou Xiaoya rolled her eyes at him and pointed at the three handcuffed men. "Then help me take them to the interrogation room. Let your sister Lin lead the way."

Wang Lin nodded and said, "I'll hold down the most restless one. Jiaming, you just bring the other two in."

"Yeah, okay."

Lu Jiaming responded, and couldn't help but tilt his head and look down at Lu Yuchen who had just stood up.

Lu Yuchen was also looking up at him, but the child was really too dirty. Not only were his clothes and pants torn, but even his hair was stuck together, covering most of his face, making it impossible to see his facial features.

But those bright eyes as bright as stars really attracted Lu Jiaming's attention.

Looks like, very similar.

How could he look so much like their younger brother who disappeared two years ago?

Despite having such a highly similar feature, Lu Jiaming still hesitated.

He didn't dare to ask for confirmation rashly, but he didn't want to give up.

Over the past two years, the brothers have been constantly trying and failing, and their hopes have been raised and dashed countless times, which has forced them to be very cautious.

Finally, Lu Jiaming asked softly, "Sister Xiaoya, what about this child?"

Seeing his conflicted look, Zhou Xiaoya guessed something in her mind, quickly gave him a reassuring look, and walked towards Lu Yuchen.

As she walked, she said, "This little brother helped our police apprehend the traffickers, but the other children they held have not been found, so the necessary questioning still needs to be carried out."

After that, she lowered her head and asked softly, "Is it okay, little brother?"

Lu Yuchen nodded repeatedly.

Those children are so pitiful, they must be saved!

Lu Jiaming breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the child would not leave for a while, so he still had a chance to confirm.

"Hurry up!" Wang Lin called out to him from the front, "You have to go in and pick up your brother later."

Lu Jiaming: “…………”

Oh yes, I almost forgot.

He also has a nasty little brother who just got into a fight and is covered in bruises, waiting for his parents to sign to take him away.

Zhou Xiaoya held Lu Yuchen's hand and walked towards another door of the police station. Although it was daytime, there were not many people in the police station.

"All our police force's combat forces were deployed today. The task of arresting the human traffickers was an unexpected situation, so we were short of manpower."

Lu Yuchen knew she was talking to him and quickly responded, "But sister still caught them, how amazing!"

Zhou Xiaoya smiled, as if teasing him on purpose: "What about that boy just now? Was he very powerful?"

"He's also very impressive!" Lu Yuchen answered sincerely, his eyes shining. "Is that brother also a policeman? So handsome!"

"He's not..." Zhou Xiaoya paused, "He's here to look for his brother."

Lu Yuchen said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions. He followed Zhou Xiaoya into her office.

They were the only two people in the room, so Zhou Xiaoya began to ask formal questions: "Little brother, what's your name?"

"Lu Yuchen"

That’s the name!

Zhou Xiaoya's heart trembled, but she did not show any excitement. She swallowed and prepared to continue asking.

After all, they found many children with the same name in the past two years, but when they asked around, they found out that it was all in vain.

"Yuchen, how old are you this year?"

"Hmm..." Lu Yuchen thought briefly, "Probably six years old."

"Should?" Zhou Xiaoya said, "Are you not sure?"

"Hmm..." Lu Yuchen's voice suddenly weakened, and her two small hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes. "I didn't lie, sister, I was six years old."

Zhou Xiaoya didn't expect that the child would have such a big reaction after just two questions. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should continue.

"Okay, okay, sister believes you didn't lie," Zhou Xiaoya coaxed him softly, "Don't be nervous or afraid, okay?"

"Yeah," Lu Yuchen still answered in a low voice, but her two little hands had loosened slightly and her body was not so tense anymore.

Somehow, although Zhou Xiaoya's voice was patient and gentle, Lu Yuchen still felt as if he was back in that small thatched cottage in an instant, facing his ferocious "adoptive parents".

It seemed as if if he answered a word wrong or said something that didn't conform to their ideas, all kinds of sticks would hit him hard in the next second.

Only then did Lu Yuchen realize that even though he had escaped physically, the shadow of fear still accompanied him and it was unknown when it would dissipate.

He was suddenly at a loss and had to pretend to be calm and continue to answer the questions raised by Zhou Xiaoya.

"Yuchen, is your home in Ningyang City?"

"My original home is..." Lu Yuchen bit her lip and hesitated, "My adoptive parents' home is not..."

Zhou Xiaoya asked him tentatively: "Do you want to go back to your adoptive parents? I can help you find them."

"No! I won't go back!"

Lu Yuchen suddenly raised her voice, her little voice full of panic, "Sister, I don't want to go back! I finally escaped, I'm not going back!"
