Within a few days, the families on the farm became nervous and kept all the children under their watch, fearing that something else might happen.
The news of the missing children in the family compound spread to the farm. Su Jin and Yun Feng worked together to give lessons to the family members, hoping that they would always remind the children to be extra cautious after returning home.
Su Jin was staring at Hanhan in a daze that day, wondering in her mind whether the child was from those two families.
"Wife!" Lu Shiyi came back exhausted from outside. Seeing that his wife looked unhappy, he hurried over and said, "I haven't been home for the past two days. Has Hanhan been bothering you?"
Su Jin heard Lu Shiyi's voice and looked at him with sparkling eyes.
"Ayi, you are finally back. Have you found the children?" Su Jin heard him mention that he was going to look for the children, and saw him come back, and asked hurriedly.
"We found two people. The two families have all been taken to the police station. Wait for the police to come and record the interrogation." Lu Shiyi went to the side to change his clothes before returning to the study to hold her. He looked at Hanhan who was sleeping in the crib and said, "Wife, it's a good thing you suggested using military dogs to find them. It only took half a day to find them."
Lu Shiyi had to admit that the traffickers did not use drugs, but instead claimed that the children were disobedient and had a quarrel with their families and ran away from home. Several children asked outsiders for help along the way, but everyone was deceived by their rhetoric.
No one came to their rescue, and the children were captured by human traffickers.
The police plan to make their methods public after catching all the traffickers. Even if they call the wrong police, it is better than having someone abducted.
Lu Shiyi told Su Jin about the methods of human traffickers and reminded her to be careful if she encountered kidnappers. Those people made excuses that no one could refute, and Su Jin put her hand into his big hand.
"Ayi, I won't go out alone. Even if I do, I will be with you or my sisters-in-law." Su Jin promised.
Human traffickers are rampant nowadays. They take advantage of people’s reputation, which is important to everyone, and many girls and children fall into their hands.
"Wife, it will definitely not hurt to be careful. If you go to the black market and find danger, just use your garden." Lu Shiyi would rather Su Jin use the space than be kidnapped.
Su Jin looked up at him. After what happened, he was always afraid that they and their son would be in danger.
"It'll be okay. I have enough ability to protect myself and Hanhan." Su Jin reached out and patted his chest. "Ayi, let's call Grandpa after this is over."
The Songjiang Commune was in a panic because of the missing child. The police station and the armed forces were under great pressure. Even Lu Shiyi and Lin Zitao personally led the search team.
Because Hanhan is young, Wu Jun and Lin Zitao negotiated and asked Lu Shiyi to find the child, while Lin Zitao went directly to the village of human traffickers.
"Wife, just call from home." Lu Shiyi looked towards the living room. "We have a telephone installed upstairs. You called home in the capital, just to chat."
Su Jin clapped her hands and said, "I call home every few days. Will they tell me?"
"No, there's always someone listening to the phone at home, and the same goes for the office. We pay for it ourselves, and we're not taking advantage of the public." Lu Shiyi shook his head and said, "Let's go. I haven't spoken to grandpa and grandma for a long time."
Su Jin picked up the phone and called the Lu family's old house. Grandpa Lu had just returned from outside and picked up the phone when he heard it ringing.
"Grandpa, I'm Xiao Jin!" Su Jin greeted Grandpa Lu happily when she heard his voice. "How are you and Grandma?"
"We are all fine. Listen to the report. Did you lose a child over there? You have to be careful." When Lu Bairen heard the report from his subordinates, he was worried about the children.
"Grandpa, I'm watching over mother and son. I won't let anything happen to them." Lu Shiyi listened behind the phone. After hearing Lu Bairen's instructions for Su Jin to be careful, he quickly assured, "I'll talk to Grandpa."
Su Jin handed the phone to Lu Shiyi, and Lu Bairen's tone changed instantly.
Lu Shiyi just responded obediently, worried that if he made a wrong rebuttal he would make the old man unhappy.
"Wife, bring Hanhan here. Grandpa wants to hear Hanhan's voice." Lu Shiyi said helplessly.
Hanhan rarely makes any noise except when sleeping and eating, so he thought about spanking him twice.
Su Jin came out of the bedroom holding Hanhan, and Lu Shiyi put the microphone to his mouth.
"Hanhan, call out twice for your great grandfather to hear." Lu Shiyi called Hanhan in a low voice.
It was the first time Hanhan saw a telephone. He looked at the receiver curiously, his drool dripping onto the phone.
When Lu Bairen heard the voice of the microphone, a smile appeared on his face.
Du Ruo stared at Lu Bairen for a long time, and wanted to snatch the microphone from the old man with his right hand.
"Give the phone to Xiaojin." The old lady grabbed it and Grandpa Lu had no choice but to give in.
When Lu Shiyi heard Grandma Lu's voice, he handed the phone to Su Jin. He picked up Hanhan and sat next to her on the sofa.
"Xiao Jin, is Hanhan making a fuss? If you can't take care of him, ask a sister-in-law to help." Grandma Lu reminded Su Jin, "We can provide food or food coupons. Everyone in the family is at work, so no one can help you."
"Grandma, Ayi and I can take care of it." Su Jin's heart skipped a beat when she heard what Grandma Lu said, worried that someone would report them for what they said.
"Your parents applied to their work unit in advance, and they promised that if you are too busy, you can hire a sister-in-law to help, and they will provide food subsidies." Grandma Lu instructed Su Jin.
"Grandma, thank you." Su Jin said gratefully.
Grandma Lu continued to instruct Su Jin for a long time before the two of them hung up the phone. Su Jin leaned on his shoulder and repeated her grandmother's instructions.
"Has your family applied to the higher authorities?" Lu Shiyi looked at Su Jin in surprise.
Even in the old house in the imperial capital, no outsiders were invited except the guards and staff of the old couple.
"Ayi, I want to wait a little longer." Su Jin leaned on his shoulder. Lu Shiyi put the sleeping Hanhan on the sofa and covered him with a small blanket. "Hanhan is still young and doesn't need too many people to take care of him. Besides, the situation outside is so chaotic. Even with the promise from above, some people on the farm will have doubts in their hearts."
"We'll do as you say. The children on the farm aren't missing, but their families are all in a state of panic. It's not appropriate for us to invite anyone over right now." Lu Shiyi whispered to Su Jin, "to avoid gossip from those with ulterior motives."
Su Jin hummed: "My sisters-in-law are busy at home, I plan to translate those things at home."
The sisters-in-law have been coming to visit recently, and Su Jin occasionally sends them away by saying that Hanhan is taking a nap.
"I'll talk to Chief Wu. The family members won't come here to chat anymore." Lu Shiyi knew the importance of the information in Su Jin's hands. "You have been given permission to reveal your identity on the farm."
