Furthermore, the newly returned "Qian Xiaoshu," also known as Sun Xiaohao, although not good-looking, is the one who looks most like the Zhan family members among all the third-generation Zhans, and they look like family at first glance. This is also an important reason why the old couple Zhan Dayou and his wife can't let go of their newly returned grandson.
In addition, Sun Xiaohao is sweet-mouthed and good at coaxing people. During the time he returned to the Zhan family, he made the old couple in a good mood, and the atmosphere at home was better than before.
How could they believe a child like this could harbor such evil intentions? A six-year-old handing over his own older siblings to human traffickers? No one would believe it, no matter how hard they tried.
They would rather convince themselves that Xiaoshu was young and unaware of the treacherous nature of human nature, which is why he trusted the traffickers. Or, they would rather believe his excuse that he got separated from his sister and brother when he first returned home.
At this time, Sun Xiaohao, who was at the Zhan family, was very nervous when he heard that Qian Niandi had been found.
If he could really find her, it wouldn't be a big deal. What he was most worried about was that the traffickers would give him away. So, while he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually extremely panicked inside, his brain racing, trying to come up with countermeasures for any bad things that might happen.
After coming out of the detention center, Zhan Baoku asked Zhan Baoyu: "Second brother, do you think what they said is true?"
Zhan Baoyu thought for a moment and replied, "Xiaoshu is quite clever, but why does he have to do this? He is her brother and sister, and doing this will not benefit him at all. And from what Nian Di said, she seems to like Xiaoshu very much, and they didn't even celebrate the festival together.
Besides, he's only six years old. To be able to come up with something like this, is he a child prodigy? I don't think their story is credible. I guess those two heard that Xiaoshu had returned home and wanted to find an excuse to reduce their sentence."
Zhan Baoku also nodded and said, "That's right. Then it's better not to tell this story when you get home, so as to avoid suspicion from your family."
Sun Xiaohao didn't know that his two uncles from the Zhan family trusted him quite a bit, and he escaped the disaster without realizing it.
As for the fact that Qian Niandi fell asleep after drinking the water given by Sun Xiaohao, if this matter had not been mentioned, Qian Niandi would naturally not have thought that it was her own brother who drugged her, causing her to end up in such a miserable state.
After the Zhan brothers received Qian Niandi, they needed to stay here for a short time because of Qian Longfei's matter, so they temporarily arranged Qian Niandi in the hotel.
Zhan Baoyu was a little tired after all this trouble. He left the detention center and got into the car. He sat directly in the back seat and said to Zhan Baoku, "I'm going to take a nap. Call me when we get there."
On the way here, Zhan Baoku felt that his second brother's mental state was not very good. Now, after a day, he seemed even more listless.
He looked at Zhan Baoyu's face reflected in the rearview mirror and asked worriedly, "Second brother, are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?"
He didn't ask directly whether he also had the same disease as his elder brother, but he couldn't help but remind him.
Zhan Baoyu didn't open his eyes. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "I've checked it. Let's go back and get the results."
Zhan Baoku was still worried and said, "How about you take Nian Di home first? I can handle Xiao Fei's affairs by myself..."
Zhan Baoyu thought about it and decided that this arrangement was fine. He knew his own body. When he got up in the morning, he had a nosebleed, but he took care of it secretly, not letting his brother see. He didn't want to distract his brother now. After all, finding his nephew was the most urgent matter.
He replied, "Okay, then Nian Di and I will take the train home. You wait here for Xiao Fei. If you have anything, please contact us at any time."
Zhan Baoku responded, "Okay, let's go to the station to buy tickets first, and then pick up Nian Di to take the bus."
They quickly bought train tickets back to Jiangyuan City for the next morning, standing room only. Fortunately, the train was only three hours away, covering a distance of 300 kilometers.
Zhan Baoku felt vaguely uneasy, fearing that Zhan Baoyu had also been infected with the family's misfortune. Would he be the next one soon?
He was afraid that Baoyu would be tired on the way, so he bought a thick cushion and told him that there was no place to sit in the car, so he should find an open space to sit down and rest and not get too tired.
How could Zhan Baoyu not know what his brother was worried about? It was just that neither of them pointed it out.
However, this matter could not be concealed after all. After returning, Zhan Baoyu planned to tell his family about his illness and he also wanted to receive treatment as soon as possible.
It was seven years ago when Zhan Baoliang fell ill. I wonder if there has been any progress in medical research on leukemia now.
He heard from the doctor that there are currently several drugs for leukemia treatment, but he is not sure how effective they are. However, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will actively cooperate with the treatment.
This family-inherited disease was like a curse upon the Zhan family, tormenting generation after generation, and it was only passed down to males, not females. However, any male or female descendant of the Zhan family would inevitably fall ill in their prime.
The age of onset varies somewhat. For example, Zhan Baoliang and Zhan Baoyu both contracted the disease at the age of 28 or 29. Their second uncle, Zhan Baokun's father, died at the age of 40.
Their own father, Zhan Dayou, is a rare exception. He is now in his sixties and still alive and well.
But living long and watching his sons die before him is not a good thing. It can even be said that it is more painful than dying early.

After Zhan Baoku sent Zhan Baoyu and Qian Niandi on the train, he rushed to the police station to find out the progress of the search for Qian Longfei.
After obtaining the trafficker's confession the day before, the police were dispatched to the location indicated by the trafficker.
However, the family heard that the human trafficker who sold the child had been arrested, and worried that the child would be found, so they secretly transferred Qian Longfei.
The police temporarily brought back the two buyers mentioned by the traffickers and asked the traffickers to identify whether they had caught the wrong people. After receiving a positive answer, they had to interrogate them again and asked them to explain the whereabouts of the child.
Originally, they were stubbornly refusing to confess, and the police couldn't possibly torture them. However, the police couldn't guarantee that the victim's family wouldn't do anything drastic.
They had witnessed the power of the two Zhan brothers in forcing confessions, and were too lazy to deal with these social scum, so they simply handed the initiative to Zhan Baoku.
Zhan Baoku was feeling extremely irritated because of his sister's affairs, his child's affairs, and his second brother's health. Now that he had this opportunity to vent his anger, he naturally wanted to make the most of it.
