Realizing that the child might have been lost, Jiang Ning took the balloon from Zhou Minmin and held her tightly.

Jiang Qing and Tang Li, who were with her, looked around and saw Brother Zhou sitting next to Zhu Yanlong, looking around anxiously. Until he saw them, he was worried that they couldn't see him, so he stood up and waved.

The three of them walked over there and saw Zhu Yanlong with his head down and his phone held horizontally, probably playing games. He didn't realize at all that one of his children was missing, which was very annoying.

Walking over to them, Jiang Qing looked at the two children who were unaware of what was happening and were happily sharing the marshmallows. He looked at Zhu Yanlong who was still lowering his head and snorted coldly.

"Teacher Zhu, this game is so important that you didn't even know your cousin was missing."

This mocking voice made Zhu Yanlong look up in panic. He actually thought that he had lost sight of Zhou Minmin, and his palms holding the phone were sweating.

When he looked up and saw Zhou Minmin still standing there, happily eating marshmallows, with sugar stains all over her face, Zhu Yanlong glared at Jiang Qing in dissatisfaction, and his rapidly beating heart finally calmed down.

"Jiang Qing, do you think it's fun to scare people with these words? Minmin is right here, where did she go missing?"

"If you wait until the child is lost before you get anxious, what are you doing sitting here?" Jiang Qing asked back.

Zhu Yanlong was annoyed by her condescending look and wanted to retort, but Tang Li said.

"Minmin went chasing balloons just now? Didn't you see it?"

Zhu Yanlong felt a little guilty as he really didn't know when Zhou Minmin left, but he definitely couldn't admit it at this time. Otherwise, if his uncle knew, he would misunderstand that he didn't care about the child, and the relationship between the two families would be affected.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yanlong immediately turned off the game on his mobile phone and spoke in a tone as if he was training a child.

"How could I not know? I've been watching Minmin the whole time. She's timid. I want to train her to communicate with passers-by. If she were to meet a bad guy, there's no way I'd still be sitting here."

Zhu Yanlong said it solemnly, as if he really intended to do so, and even the guilty look on his face faded away.

At this time Zhou Mingchao and other male guests came back and heard this. They thought he really wanted to train his children and were about to say that he did have his own set of educational experience.

Although Zhou Mingchao felt that this was not something Zhu Yanlong would do, he did not think much about it. He thought that Zhu Yanlong just wanted to steal the spotlight. He did not think that he was not looking in the direction of the child at all, and he said something in cooperation.

"Minmin is a little timid. Her mother and I are worried and want to change her temperament."

All fathers say so, and their reliability is much stronger. Facing the gazes of the guests, Zhu Yanlong forgot his initial guilty feeling, and held his head high, waiting for everyone's praise and his own highlight shots.

But the next moment, Jiang Ning walked beside Zhu Yanlong's cameraman and asked.

"Can we see the footage we just took? We'd like to know how Teacher Zhu trains children to be independent."

The cameraman, who had witnessed everything that had just happened, looked at Zhu Yanlong with contempt and was about to agree.

Not to mention Zhu Yanlong and Jiang Ning's status in the variety show, one is the sole of the feet and the other is the ceiling. Even if Zhu Yanlong promised to look after his cousins, he would turn around and start playing games, ignoring the children, which made the cameraman want to kick him. Naturally, he would not hide the truth for such a hypocritical liar.

"Sure, these shots are not confidential."

The cameraman answered and moved the machine twice, about to show Jiang Ning the video, when Zhu Yanlong suddenly stepped between them. Facing everyone's gazes, he said dryly.

"I think it's late now, let's go back and talk about it first."

After hearing these words, Zhou Mingchao probably guessed that Zhu Yanlong didn't take a good look at the two children at all. He stared at him and hugged the children with fear in his heart.

"Minmin, tell me, did your cousin take good care of you guys before? Did he do other things?"

Being stared at like this by everyone, Zhou Minmin shyly used her father to block them, carefully glanced at Zhu Yanlong who winked at her and said.

"My cousin was playing a game and my brother and I's balloons flew away. I went to chase them and found that a kind uncle gave them to me."

Zhou Minmin was still angry as she said these words. She didn't like her cousin who told lies.

When everyone heard this, they all understood that Zhu Yanlong had not taken good care of the child and did not even know that the child had walked away, yet he was trying to make excuses to take credit.

"Minmin is still standing here and she hasn't been lost. It's not illegal for me to play games." Zhu Yanlong was looked at with contempt by the guests and he argued with a flushed face.

At this moment, Jiang Ning's eyes swept across the white paper strips that popped out due to Zhou Minmin's large movements, and he looked at the melon-eating system with a slightly darker look in his eyes.

[You didn't break the law, but you pushed your uncle to break the law, and the whole family was under surveillance, without freedom, and forced to do things against their will, becoming criminals.]

[Later, Zhou Mingchao was unable to do those things. After sending the news back to China, he used his own life to hold on here, allowing his wife and children to successfully return to their homeland.]

The guests who often listen to Jiang Ning's thoughts and eat melons were confused this time. They didn't know why Zhu Yanlong didn't keep an eye on the child, and suddenly inferred that he would prompt Zhou Mingchao to break the law.

Could it be that if the original trajectory had followed, Zhou Minmin would have gotten lost, and Zhou Mingchao, who had lost his child, would have gone mad and committed something criminal?

The guests could only sort out these based on the existing logic and looked at Jiang Ning expectantly, wanting her to reveal the answer. However, Jiang Ning did not say anything until they got on the bus to return.

As the person involved, Zhou Mingchao was shocked at first, but after combining it with the news about the Loffield family, he quickly thought of Jiang Ning, who also attended the banquet that day, and the role he played.

Zhou Mingchao didn't dare to ignore the fact that he could defeat a top noble, especially Jiang Ning's wish for him to go to the research institute, and his worries. Zhou Mingchao felt uneasy.

He was worried all the way, wondering if the Rose Country officials did something when his daughter was chasing the balloon that led to him committing a crime.

Otherwise, Zhou Mingchao would never have thought of what Zhu Yanlong's brain could prompt him to do.

With doubts in his heart, Zhou Mingchao had no time to pay attention to Zhu Yanlong, who had brought about a huge change in their family's lives. He turned a deaf ear to his apology and was thinking about how the Rose Kingdom would force him to compromise.

Zhou Mingchao still hadn't figured out this problem until the guests arrived at their accommodation. After receiving his remuneration from the program crew and saying goodbye to everyone, he carried the two children, who were so sleepy that they could hardly open their eyes, into the car.

After settling the child, Zhou Mingchao was about to drive the car when he saw the note dropped next to the car.

He opened it with confusion and saw what was written on it. Zhou Mingchao's face changed drastically and he finally understood Jiang Ning's thoughts and why their family had encountered those things and why he was forced to do things against his will.

If he had this note, even if he didn't do those things, his whole family would be prosecuted and wiped out completely. He would have no choice.

Zhou Mingchao took a deep breath, looked at the detached villa where the guests lived, got in the car, and after making sure there were no surveillance cameras, he took out a lighter and lit the note. Only after the note burned to ashes in the ashtray did Zhou Mingchao's heart finally settle down.
