Shen Yan looked at Geng Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, cracking melon seeds and listening intently to Bai Hao gossip. This truly confirmed Meng Zhang's words.
He really preferred listening to stories and joining in the fun, and had no interest in any romantic affairs whatsoever.
The National Day celebrations were truly lively. Even inside the Qin residence, one could hear constant voices, along with the sounds of gongs, drums, and dance music.
Although Shen Yan was a little afraid of crowds, he still took the time to climb onto the roof and look at the bustling street outside.
Happy times never last long.
As dusk fell and night descended, after it was completely dark...
"Bang bang bang—"
Fireworks burst brilliantly in the sky, creating a dazzling display of light and color that illuminates the night.
After the fireworks display ended, streetlights came on one by one, and the entire old town was illuminated by neon lights, as bright as day.
Qin Nan and her three companions had just finished watching the fireworks in the courtyard when Qin Nan's phone suddenly rang.
Qin Nan stared blankly at the unfamiliar landline number before answering and holding it to his ear.
"Hello, are you the parent of E Ning?"
"Oh, yes, who are you?"
"Hello, this is the police station. Your child was almost abducted by human traffickers, but is now safe. Would it be convenient for you to come over? The location is the North Street area of the Old Town."
"Okay, thank you, I'll be right there."
Qin Nan hung up the phone and looked at Bai Hao.
Bai Hao asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
“E Ning was almost kidnapped by human traffickers. He’s at the police station now. I need to go pick him up.”
"Huh?" Geng Chen exclaimed in surprise, "Impossible. Even though the little brat is weak, he shouldn't be unable to defeat a human."
Bai Hao focused his mind and used his innate divine power to probe. After a while, he couldn't help but smile, reached out and took Qin Nan's hand, leading him to pick up the person.
"Hey! Lao Bai, what's going on?"
Geng Chen was mindful of Shen Yan and did not intend to follow, but since E Ning was someone he had brought, he couldn't afford to have any problems with him.
Bai Hao didn't even turn his head, waving his hand, "It's alright, he's inherited your true teachings, and he loves to stir up trouble, you can take him as your apprentice!"
Shen Yan understood what was going on and pulled Geng Chen back.
“E Ning is a fraudster. He must have lied to people on purpose. Brother Nan said that the police station is safe and nothing will happen.”
Geng Chen nodded, agreeing. He had indeed taught E Ning some magic, and although E Ning wasn't very talented, he had learned most of it. As long as the opponent wasn't too powerful, he could handle most people without any problems.
Bai Hao led Qin Nan quickly through the crowd and headed straight for the Beicheng Police Station.
"Sun Weiqiang! I knew you couldn't change your ways, but I really didn't expect you to be so ruthless at your age!"
"Liu Nana, that's enough! I've already said no! I was just meeting with him! To make money! To make money!"
"Make money? Yes! Make money big enough to fill a hotel!"
"I didn't go! That little brat is lying! He's ripping me off!"
"Lying? How old is he? How could he make up so many lies? Can a kid have your mouth to lie to people?!"
"Auntie, Ningning didn't lie to you. I heard it. Uncle called and said that woman's butt was really perky and felt so good to touch! It was even more tender than the daylily at home!"
E Ning, held to one side by the police, looked pitifully at Liu Nana with a pleading expression, appearing quite attached to her.
Liu Nana looked at E Ning, forced a gentle smile at him, then turned her head and glared fiercely at Sun Weiqiang. Suddenly, she pounced on him, grabbed his collar, and lashed out at him.
One slap after another echoed loudly in the quiet police station.
The officers, realizing what was happening, quickly stepped forward and separated the two people.
Upon seeing this, E Ning immediately burst into tears, "Waaah, Auntie, you're a good person! That bad uncle is bullying you! He said you're a menopausal haggard woman, and touching you is not as good as touching a man..."
The police officer covered E Ning's mouth, but it was too late. This only added fuel to the fire, and the two men, who had been separated, started fighting again.
E Ning watched the two fighting like dogs and his eyes crinkled with laughter.
Ha! Kidnap him? Sell him? And you want to use him as an organ harvester?
He refrained from killing to avoid causing trouble for his brothers, but their infighting was none of his business.
The two were separated again and isolated. E Ning obediently stopped talking, and the police officer watching him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This kid really had a good memory; he could tattle on people so frighteningly.
However, there are also advantages. The reason they were put together is that, after E Ning's revelation, the two who had started fighting each other dug up old grievances for a long time, which gave them a lot of useful information.
So much so that they almost forgot to call E Ning's parents to pick him up.
When Qin Nan and Bai Hao arrived, the two human traffickers were already handcuffed and bruised. Meanwhile, E Ning continued his act, moving Liu Nana, who had already won her heart, to another level.
This woman did not do it willingly; she was sold by her own parents. Because she was a girl, she was returned to the seller several times and suffered misfortune. For various reasons, she also became a human trafficker.
When E Ning was approached and tricked by her, he managed to extract some information from her. He was a master of lying, and through his lies, all her experiences became unavoidable. It was also through his intervention that the woman felt compassion.
Then everything fell into place. He pretended to obey, followed the woman, and acted as if he trusted her completely. When he discovered that this woman actually had a so-called lover, he initially scoffed, thinking that such a depraved person could actually have love.
Unexpectedly, this man actually loved her. Well, that was fine too; he could only lie.
She twisted all the man's sincere actions, turning them into enemies, and then sent a message to Chi Wei, asking him to attract the police to patrol the area.
Because there were too many people and traffic was congested, they didn't get very far from the old town.
Even after being taken to the police station, they were still very agitated, and E Ning kept trying to "kindly persuade" them, which led to the current situation.
Evil Ning's actions might make the woman loosen her grip, provide more clues, and potentially save some of the other children they have abducted.
Qin Nan looked at E Ning, who was as eloquent as a lotus flower, with suspicion, and really felt that he was not the same beast he knew.
Once the two men were taken away and out of sight, E Ning immediately stopped smiling, rubbed his stiff face, and the sadness and reluctance in his eyes vanished instantly.
He turned his head and saw Qin Nan and Bai Hao who had come to pick him up. He immediately smiled sincerely and rushed towards the two of them.
Qin Nan bent down and hugged E Ning, looking him up and down. Seeing that apart from his clothes being a little dusty, he had no bruises or bumps, and felt relieved.
The police officer who had been with E Ning watched Qin Nan's actions speechlessly, wanting to tell him that his actions were really unnecessary. With E Ning's mouth, even if someone beat him to death, he wouldn't be hurt at all.
Of course, he couldn't say that after seeing their ID cards, it was reasonable for E Ning to call Qin Nan "uncle" and Bai Hao "uncle-in-law."
Qin Nan signed the papers and took E Ning away. There might be more opportunities to provide evidence later, so Qin Nan could only nod in agreement and tell the child that he would stay for a while and not in a hurry to leave, and that he could contact him if needed.
