Several months had passed since the last time she exchanged contact information with Gu Dongsheng. During several holidays, Xia Tong would send messages to Gu Dongsheng in the name of Lin Mingfei, and Gu Dongsheng would reply with a string of very modern-sounding Blabla words like "I wish you and Zero a peaceful and happy life", but there was no other communication.
So now, Xia Tong suddenly wanted to call Gu Dongsheng, or to ask for something. He didn't know how Gu Dongsheng would react. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous.
But compared to calling Gu Dongsheng, facing Zheng Linchuan made him more afraid.
So Xia Tong gritted her teeth and dialed the phone and went out.
The phone rang a few times, but it didn't torture him for too long before the call was connected.
"Xia, big eyes?" Gu Dongsheng's teasing voice rang out from the other end of the phone. "Xiao Tongtong? What's up? You won the championship? You finally have time to call this old man like me? Huh? Oh, I just can't figure it out. Did Zero die out there? You're the one who always contacts me. I don't even know who's my godson, you or him."
Gu Dongsheng's tone was extremely familiar and not at all awkward. It instantly broke through the wall of defense in Xia Tong's heart. He seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and howled "Woof".
"Uncle Gu!!! Someone wants to put Zero in jail!! Wuuuuuuuuuuuu I don't want to leave Zero!!! I don't want Zero to go to jail!!!"
Once he started to pour out his bitterness, he couldn't stop. His sobbing and sincere feelings scared Gu Dongsheng.
"What? What the hell? Zero is going to jail?" He said in horror: "Zero killed someone?"
"No......"
"Drug trafficking?"
"No......"
"Selling out state secrets?"
“No…QAQ”
"Oh..." Gu Dongsheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said nonchalantly, "What kind of jail is that? You think jail is so good? Why do you want to go there?"
"No, it was the family that bought me before. They insisted that Zero was a human trafficking for taking care of me." Xia Tong cried aggrievedly.
"The family that bought you? What do you mean...the family that bought you?" Gu Dongsheng suddenly restrained his giggling attitude and said seriously.
"I...I can't explain it clearly."
"Is Zero with you now?"
"He's not here. He went out for something. I'm alone at the base."
"Then wait, I'll send someone to pick you up. It's just right. I cooked ramen at noon, but I cooked too much. I can't finish it by myself, so you can come and eat with me." Gu Dongsheng said.
"Okay, okay." Xia Tong said, "Thank you, Uncle Gu, for treating me to ramen."
"Oh, what's so good about this? Thank you." Gu Dongsheng laughed heartily on the other end of the phone: "Don't run around, just wait for someone to pick you up."
Xia Tong obeyed Gu Dongsheng's words and sat obediently on the sofa waiting for a while. Soon, the sound of an engine was heard at the door, and a Rolls-Royce stopped outside the club's gate.
If the rich second-generation young master was here, he would have been shocked by the extravagance of the car logo and screamed in surprise, but Xia Xiaotong was a man who didn't know the value of the car. He opened the car door and got in without any hesitation.
The car drove all the way from the Polaris base to another mansion. Xia Tong leaned against the car window to look, her mouth gradually widening.
Polaris's club is a mansion in itself, but it is a place where many people live and perform activities together, so it can be considered a small company.
But in this mansion, only Gu Dongsheng lives in it.
When Xia Tong got out of the car, she saw Gu Dongsheng coming out of the house with a dark green velvet robe open and a cigar in his mouth. He walked around the large flower garden and the large fountain without any feeling of tiredness, walked up to Xia Tong to greet her in person, and gave Xia Tong a hug that was both down-to-earth and very undown-to-earth.
"Come on, come on, eat the noodles I cooked, or they'll get swollen if you don't eat them now!"
Xia Tong: “…”
The little Omega was dumbfounded. He could not connect the rich man in front of him with the stubborn old man who was selling fried skewers on the street that night and arguing with the vendor across the street. Then he was dragged into the castle-like house by Gu Dongsheng with a confused look on his face.
What Gu Dongsheng meant by cooking noodles actually meant cooking noodles.
The old man cooked a big pot of Sukiyaki, which was filled with seafood and beef hot pot ingredients. He also added some noodles and simmered it slowly on the induction cooker. Xia Tong sat down at the table, and Gu Dongsheng enthusiastically scooped a full bowl for him, and then filled a large bowl for himself. The two sat face to face.
"Eat and talk while you eat."
"Actually, I don't know what's going on..." Xia Tong buried her little face in the steam of the hot soup, the tip of her nose was steamed red, like a poor puppy: "Zheng Linchuan said that his family has a contract to buy me, and I have lived in their house for a long time anyway..." He became more and more entangled as he spoke, and raised his head anxiously: "Uncle Gu, does that mean that as long as they don't let me go, I can only stay in the Zheng family for the rest of my life? They are really not good to me, and I can't give birth to a baby. There is no use for them to keep me! Besides...besides, it was me who wanted to stick to Zero, how can you say that Zero abducted me..."
"Well, don't panic." Gu Dongsheng peeled a shrimp and threw the shrimp meat into Xia Tong's bowl: "Eat a shrimp first."
Xia Tong: "Woo woo!"
Gu Dongsheng: "Whether Zero is trafficking or not is another matter, but I can confirm one thing: human trafficking is illegal."
Xia Tong blinked.
"Hello, Uncle Gu? You don't seem surprised at all..."
Of course Gu Dongsheng was not surprised.
When he saw Xia Tong's appearance, he thought of "customized Omega".
A few years ago, he almost came into contact with a "custom Omega". In order to curry favor with him and want his resources, someone asked him indirectly whether he wanted a partner of his choice, who might be younger, but whose appearance and personality would be very consistent with his preferences, as he was still unmarried.
Gu Dongsheng was experienced in the world and was not easily deceived by others' words. He found out the essence of the so-called "customized Omega" by asking his connections. This was obviously dancing in the minefield of the law, so he refused without thinking.
Later, legal policies were adjusted again to protect Omega's rights, and a large number of those gray-trading companies went bankrupt. I think there are still a few that are lingering on with a fluke mentality, but these companies will hide their information very well and have special ways of communicating with buyers. Unless one of the two parties reveals the truth, it is difficult to trace them.
Gu Dongsheng took a sip of soup and asked quietly, "You said that Zheng Chuan said he put the contract to buy you, where did he put it?"
"It's in the safe at his house." Xia Tong said.
"In the safe..." Gu Dongsheng smiled intriguingly, "What a big flaw." After that, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, "You eat first, I'll make some calls."
Zheng Linchuan was lying at home with full confidence, waiting for Xia Tong to come and apologize to him crying. However, instead of Xia Tong, he waited for several law enforcement officers.
The other party broke into his house accurately and seriously asked Zheng Linchuan to cooperate with the investigation and open the safe.
Zheng Linchuan was a coward with a strong exterior but a weak heart. He was so confused and scared that he only remembered to ask the other party if they had a search warrant after he opened the safe. However, when the other party took out a bilingual agreement contract in Chinese and English from his safe, the other party said that it didn't matter whether there was a search warrant or not, and a pair of handcuffs were directly handcuffed on Zheng Linchuan's wrists.
Xia Tong had probably guessed Gu Dongsheng was powerful, but she hadn't expected him to be so formidable, having sent Zheng Linchuan to the police station with just a few phone calls. Later, several law enforcement officers arrived at the Polaris club, demanding Xia Tong testify and give a statement. Their demeanor was quite affable, evidently a priori from Gu Dongsheng. Gu Dongsheng, ever so thoughtful, had even called Lin Mingfei to explain the situation, and so she accompanied Xia Tong to the police station.
The contract signed between the Zheng family and a gene customization company was clearly marked with various information clauses. It was verified to be correct with Xia Tong's ID card. Afterwards, the police specifically asked about Xia Tong's situation. Xia Tong did not miss a single detail and told the police about the abuse she had suffered in the Zheng family over the years. She also took the initiative to admit that she had taken the Zheng family's things in order to escape, and expressed her willingness to return them for compensation. She was so well-behaved that it made several law enforcement officers laugh.
Human trafficking is a hundred times worse than human trafficking. It completely disregards the treatment of Omegas as human beings. Furthermore, the Zheng family abandoned their children, which is tantamount to murder, a serious violation of the Omega Protection Act and the provisions on Omega rights in the General Constitution. Zheng Linchuan's family was successfully ousted. Aside from a brief headline in Legal Daily titled "Zheng's Family," the confiscation of property and subsequent trial were completely silent. Xia Tong even felt like she had simply gone to Gu Dongsheng for a bowl of noodles, and then the Zheng family vanished from the face of the earth. As a victim, he was completely passive from birth to trafficking. Moreover, now over eighteen years old, he could handle all matters independently, thus gaining complete freedom.
Gu Dongsheng is like the small, serious god that floated out of Aladdin's lamp.
Xia Tong was very happy when she thought about it, and felt that she was extremely lucky.
"Uncle Gu, I don't know how to thank you enough." He said sincerely when he called Gu Dongsheng, "What can I do for you?"
"If you want to thank me, it's very simple, just do something for me." Gu Dongsheng smiled mysteriously.
"What?" Xia Tong asked.
"I want a strand of Zero's hair, secretly, without letting him know." Gu Dongsheng said.
Xia Tong was stunned for a moment, then immediately clapped her hands and said, "That's easy!"
The author has something to say: Lin Mingfei: Hiss!
