A familiar figure arrived at the same time as Chenxi.
"Zhao Yuncheng, why are you everywhere?" Qiao Xia suspected she was being followed.
Business was important, but Zhao Yuncheng still took the time to explain, "After the cruise ship case is over, I will be in charge of following up on the human trafficking industry chain, not with you."
Perhaps the arrival of the police made Li Yu more sober, she loosened her grip on Yao Zong's arms, and Yao Zong took the opportunity to break free from her restraint and plunged into Aunt Niu's arms.
Li Yu found it hard to accept and immediately tried to snatch the child back, but Qiao Xia quickly stopped her.
"What are you doing? I thought you were a good person. You're in cahoots with them, all of you are trying to take my child!" Li Yu cried loudly, her gaze fixed on Yao Zong. Her mind was clearly not quite right.
Qiao Xia patted her back to comfort her, saying, "Calm down. The police are here. If he really is your child, no one will stop you from taking him away."
Li Yu sniffled, trying to calm herself down.
Four years ago, she took her toddler to the park to sunbathe, and while changing the diaper in the restroom, she passed away.
For four years, she followed the search team to find the children, traveling everywhere and even getting divorced and abandoning her company, all she wanted was to find her children.
She heard from the police that a child had been sold here four years ago, so she decided to search for him mountain by mountain.
Before it even officially started, she caught a glimpse of Yaozong in a fleeting moment from Chenxi's past live streams.
That one glance was all it took to make her certain that this was her son.
Zhao Yuncheng frowned upon hearing this. "Just based on that one glance?"
Li Yu wiped the snot off her face and took out a photo from her bag. "This is a photo of my son when he was a month old. Do you think he looks exactly the same as he does now?"
Qiao Xia took it and compared it, her face showing a mixture of emotions. "Children all look the same when they're little, you can't tell anything from that."
Aunt Niu chimed in, "That's right, this is my son, the son I carried for ten months and gave birth to!"
"Shut up," Qiao Xia said irritably. "I'm not taking your side. Uncle Niu just admitted that you bought the child. Even if this isn't hers, it can't be yours."
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Li Yu immediately became anxious. She knelt down next to Yao Zong and covered his mouth with her hand.
"Hey~, what are you doing?" Qiao Xia stood up, afraid that she would do something rash.
But then Li Yu covered her face as well, saying, "Look at me, aren't my features exactly like his?"
Qiao Xia took a closer look and said, "It really is true, the upper half of their faces looks exactly the same."
Zhao Yuncheng interrupted, "Stop saying so much, just go to the hospital for a paternity test and you'll know everything."
Li Yu and Zhao Yuncheng left, leaving only Aunt Niu's sobs inside the house.
Suddenly, she rushed to Chenxi like a madwoman, pounding her chest wildly, "It's all your fault, you troublemaker! If it weren't for you, how would your people have found their way to our house?"
Qiao Xia quickly stepped between the two, "That's enough. You two are the ones who have done wrong, how can you blame everything on her?"
With Qiao Xia standing in the middle, Aunt Niu dared not make another move, but she continued to curse.
Uncle Niu watched all this with a cold eye, and finally, when Aunt Niu collapsed on the ground from exhaustion after cursing, he reached out and helped her up.
He shoved Qiao Xia aside and slapped Chen Xi to the ground. "You caused all this trouble today. You're trying to cut off the Niu family line. From now on, I'll pretend I don't have a daughter like you."
Then he scolded Aunt Niu, "What are you crying for? If you weren't incompetent enough to carry on my family line, how could I have gotten into this mess today?"
"I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to end up with a woman like you, what a waste of my 20,000 yuan..."
Uncle Niu's cursing continued, and Chenxi covered her face, unable to come to her senses for a long time. Qiao Xia quickly pulled her up.
She turned around and pulled Uncle Niu away from her, who was about to attack her. "I know why you don't have a son. It's because you've committed too many sins in your life and don't deserve to have children."
"You've lost more than just this daughter today. I guarantee that none of your daughters will ever come back. You're destined to live a lonely life."
Qiao Xia looked at Aunt Niu and said, "You heard what he said just now. It's up to you whether you stay here or go with Chenxi."
Aunt Niu didn't even lift her head, she just kept burying her head and crying.
Qiao Xia didn't insist. "There are many small restaurants at the foot of the mountain. If you can't stay on the mountain anymore, you can try going to the human world."
Qiao Xia designed a downhill path for Niutou Mountain that can accommodate two people in a swimming ring. It moves slowly but allows you to enjoy the scenery along the way.
Halfway down the mountain, Qiao Xia heard soft sobs beside her. "I really didn't expect them to do something like this."
Chenxi always felt that her life was unlucky, but it hadn't reached the point of no return.
She thought Yaozong was pregnant by Aunt Niu the year she went to City A, and Chenxi never doubted his existence. She never expected that Yaozong was bought.
Such a big thing, and not a single person in her family told her.
No wonder the mother, who had never left the mountain in her entire life, was unwilling to go down, and the father, who always wanted to live a better life, also refused to go to City A. They were afraid that Yaozong would be found by his biological parents.
Not only that, but she also kept all her younger sisters by her side. Before Chenxi bought home appliances, all the housework was done by her younger sisters.
But they are clearly the biological children of this family. Is a boy really that important?
Chenxi couldn't find the answer to this question, nor could Qiaoxia, but DNA testing proved that Yaozong was indeed Li Yu's child.
On the other thirty-two mountains, a total of seventeen children who had been sold were found.
Afterwards, Zhao Yuncheng, as a representative of the police, expressed his gratitude to Qiao Xia, saying, "Fortunately, you built roads on every mountain. Otherwise, the terrain in the mountains is complicated, and if they hid the children in some corner, we really wouldn't have been able to do anything."
Qiao Xia couldn't quite manage a smile.
Although the child abductor was a human trafficker and the child was bought by the Niu family parents, Li Yu pointed the finger at Chenxi, and the media, having caught wind of the incident, completely exposed Chenxi to the spotlight.
Wang, who was panting heavily with a group of trainees, complained, "The entertainment industry has been really lively these past two days. After the incident of Chenxi's family abducting a child, no one is paying attention to our boy group's debut night."
Qiao Xia glared at him fiercely, but there was really nothing she could say. It was a fact that the Niu family had bought the child.
Upon closer examination, Chenxi had nothing to do with it, but children are inherently inseparable from their parents, especially since Chenxi is a public figure.
