Ye Zhiyu looked down and saw it was that little girl?
She knelt down and asked gently, "What's wrong? Where are your parents?"
The little girl simply shook her head.
Before Ye Zhiyu could ask anything, she caught a glimpse of a large group of people walking towards them and kneeling down without saying a word.
Even if Lu Chen had three heads and six arms, he couldn't save them this time.
"Uncle, Auntie, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
Village Party Secretary: "Ye Zhiqing, we've all heard from the police officers that if it weren't for you, our children would never have come back. You deserve this kneeling."
"Yes, if the child doesn't come back, we won't be able to live either. Ye Zhiqing, please accept our bow."
Ye Zhiyu was extremely anxious and went to help them up one by one, saying, "Really, don't do this. This is what we should do. Get up quickly."
Finally, having no other choice, he could only pretend to be angry and say, "You kneel before me, do you want me to shorten my lifespan? You're happy just because I'm putting on a show, right?"
As expected, everyone was at a loss after hearing this. "We didn't, we didn't."
As she spoke, Ye Zhiyu stood up and then smiled, "That's more like it. The child was quite frightened and may be injured. You should take him back and check on him. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Everyone agreed in unison.
Tian Hongfang's family and Wu Wenwen rushed forward.
Tian Hongfang touched her arms and legs, "How are you? Are you hurt?"
"Auntie, I'm fine, I'm perfectly alright."
Liu Shengnan's eyes were filled with tears: "Ye Zhiyu, I thought I would never see you again."
Ye Zhiyu had never seen her like this before. She genuinely considered her a friend, which warmed her heart.
"Oh, hug me, don't cry, I'm back now."
Before, I always treated life as a game, never truly immersing myself in it. I never expected to have such a different experience this time.
Wu Wenwen and the others watched with smiles.
Li Yuzhe joked, "Who is crying like this? It's not easy to see our Liu Zhiqing like this in our lifetime."
Hearing his irritating voice, Liu Shengnan jumped up and raised her fist to strike.
"Li Yuzhe, I think you're itching for a beating again."
"Ugh, I can't hit it, and they won't let me tell the truth. It's hard being an honest person, ugh~"
Seeing that she couldn't catch up, Liu Shengnan took off one of her shoes and threw it at Li Yuzhe, hitting him squarely in the back. Li Yuzhe cried out in pain.
Their playful banter dispelled the sentimental atmosphere.
"Ye Zhiqing, we need you to go to the police station to give a statement tomorrow. It's getting late today."
Seeing that they were almost done, Lu Tianlei walked over to talk to Ye Zhiyu, looking at her bright face with a somewhat absent-minded expression.
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow morning."
Ye Zhiyu didn't realize that she had become accustomed to other people's gazes. Lu Chen's eyes darkened, and he took a step forward, slightly blocking Lu Tianlei's view.
Lu Tianlei snapped out of his daze and gave an awkward laugh.
Li Xi hid behind Fu Tingshen, staring menacingly at the unharmed Ye Zhiyu.
What exactly happened? Why were those people found so quickly? They're a bunch of useless trash.
Thinking about all the money she had spent, Li Xi felt very resentful.
"System, alter their memories."
The system deep within the heart was extremely impatient; it regretted once again choosing Li Xi, this good-for-nothing.
It can't do anything right, and we still have to clean up its messes.
But there's no going back. If Li Xi gets into trouble, it won't be any better off. It glanced at Xu Fen, who was tied up.
Since we can't obtain Ye Zhiyu's luck, let's have her sacrifice herself to replenish it.
A burst of light rushed toward the group of human traffickers and Xu Fen. The memory structure was altered, and Li Xi's figure gradually faded away, replaced by Xu Fen.
No one except Ye Zhiyu noticed this phenomenon, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.
That's good; going to jail would be too lenient on her.
Next, she has a big gift for her, and she hopes she will enjoy it.
Lu Weimin brought Xu Fen over: "Ye girl, is Xu Fen involved in this matter?"
Ye Zhiyu glanced at Li Xi, who was feigning composure. "She called me out under the pretext of talking badly about me to Lu Chen. Once we got there, she kept trying to distract me. Then, a hand holding a towel reached out from behind me and covered my mouth, and then I fainted."
She's definitely an accomplice.
The educated youth all looked at her with disgust.
Liu Yuan directly exposed her true colors: "She stole our money and tickets before, and we kindly forgave her once. Who knew she was so vicious? Officer, you should just settle both cases together."
Lin Yueze frowned slightly and glanced around. Fortunately, everyone's attention was not on this, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing.
Liu Shengnan had had enough of arguing with Li Yuzhe, and when she came back and heard Liu Yuan say this, she agreed with her.
"She must be holding a grudge against Zhiyu; we can't let her off easily."
Lu Tianlei said solemnly, "Comrades, please rest assured that we will never wrong an innocent person, nor will we let a guilty person go unpunished."
Xu Fen, whose memories had been altered, followed the police without any resistance.
Wu Wenwen glanced at Lu Chen beside Ye Zhiyu. She figured the two of them still had things to say, so she didn't want to disturb them. She said goodbye to Ye Zhiyu and left.
Fu Tingshen looked at Zhiyu with a hesitant expression, wanting to go up and care for her, but he couldn't bring himself to speak.
Li Xi instantly became alert and grabbed Fu Tingshen's arm: "Brother Tingshen, let's go too, I'm getting a little tired of standing."
Fu Tingshen snapped out of his daze, feeling a little guilty, and a tender look appeared on his face. "Okay, I'll help you."
Li Xi feigned shyness at the opportune moment: "Brother Ting Shen, you are so kind."
In the instant she turned around, she glared at Ye Zhiyu with hatred. Unexpectedly, Ye Zhiyu was also looking at her, and the message in her eyes was, 'I know it's you.'
She was startled and quickly turned around, her breathing becoming unsteady.
Ye Zhiyu raised an eyebrow. "Coward!"
The crowd dispersed, leaving only the little girl standing beside Ye Zhiyu, and no one came to look for her.
"What's your name?" Ye Zhiyu felt a pang of heartache. This child was so well-behaved; why didn't his family value him at all?
"Sister, my name is Chen Jiaran, but everyone calls me Hua'er."
Chen Jiaran spoke softly, seemingly unsurprised that no one had come to find him.
"Oh, it's a beautiful flower." Ye Zhiyu touched her little face.
Chen Jiaran was a little shy, her eyes shining.
"So whose are you?"
Chen Jiaran was silent for a moment, then said, "My maternal grandmother was Li Cuihua."
She was clearly unhappy when Li Cuihua was mentioned.
Ye Zhiyu was somewhat surprised and couldn't understand how someone like Li Cuihua could have such a cute granddaughter.
But it could also be because of the good upbringing by their parents.
She couldn't interfere in other people's business, so she said, "Come on, I'll take you home."
Chen Jiaran didn't say she was unwilling and obediently followed.
My mother said there were things going on at home and she couldn't cause any more trouble. Being abducted by human traffickers was already troublesome enough; I couldn't let my mother worry any more.
Chen Jiaran thought to herself silently, but she was also feeling homesick.
