Lin Cuicui finally felt relieved and held Xu Taohua's cold hand. "Taohua, let's go back first and wait for Li to come back home."
"…good."
She originally wanted to wait here, but what if her younger sister took Achi home directly, then she wouldn't be able to see Achi the first time.
The guards carefully escorted the two of them away from the bustling street and headed towards the Shen residence.
Following Chen Li's instructions, An Wu went to find an official who was one of their own and informed him of the existence of the human traffickers. Soon, he led the officers and soldiers to Pingming Cave.
Chen Li was already standing under the eaves. The view here was dim and no one noticed her for the time being.
Because Shen Mochi was too young and was in a coma, the human traffickers did not throw him into the cellar, but left him on the bed in the side room.
Chen Li estimated that the time was almost up, so she went into the side room, carried Shen Mochi away, and just as she left, An Wu came with his men.
This group of human traffickers was caught in one fell swoop. After being arrested, they were interrogated overnight. When their accomplices were not prepared, they raided several human traffickers' dens in the city and rescued many abducted children and young girls.
Shen Li carried Shen Mochi and rushed all the way back home, where she met Shen Yuanzhou and Shen Changshan who had just arrived at the door.
"Ali, how's Achi?"
The father and son looked forward anxiously at the unconscious person in her arms.
"Dad, Third Brother, let's go in first. We've been waiting for so long, Mom and Sister-in-law must be worried. Ah Chi is fine, he was drugged and hasn't woken up yet."
"That's good, that's good."
Carrying Shen Mochi all the way, they came to the yard of Shen Changshan and his wife. Sure enough, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were waiting there. The three of them knew from the reflection at the door that they were anxiously pacing back and forth in the room.
Hearing the noise at the door, Xu Taohua and Lin Cuicui rushed out.
"Little sister, Achi..."
Chen Li walked forward and handed the person to her, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, Achi is fine. He was drugged and will wake up tomorrow morning."
It’s not that Chen Li can’t remove the effects of the drug, but if she removes it now, the little guy will be frightened today and may not be able to sleep.
Moreover, this drug can only make people unconscious and has no side effects. It is better not to remove it from him and let him sleep until tomorrow morning. This way, my sister-in-law and others can explain to him tomorrow morning.
Back in the house, seeing Shen Mochi sleeping soundly with a rosy face, the family's hearts completely fell back into their stomachs.
Shen Changshan blamed himself: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let A Chi go. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened."
Xu Taohua shook her head, "Don't blame you, Dad. It's because I didn't protect Achi well that someone else snatched him away."
Lin Cuicui patted Xu Taohua's hand and comforted her, "I don't blame you. No one knew this would happen. Fortunately, Achi is safe now. There's no need to blame yourself."
Xu Taohua nodded and looked at Chen Li, "Thank you, little sister."
Chen Li shook her head, "We are all family, there is no need to thank each other, Dad, Mom, Sister-in-law, it's so late, you should also go to bed quickly."
"Okay, Ali, if you still want to go out and play, go ahead. It's still early now."
"Okay, I understand, mother."
She agreed verbally but had no intention of going. Apart from this matter, she had long lost the mood to go out for fun.
Before she returned to her own yard, she heard the doorman report that two young men and women named Su were outside looking for her.
As soon as Chen Li heard it, she knew it was the Su brothers and sisters, and walked towards the door again. Sure enough, there was a carriage parked at the door.
As soon as she came out, Su Zhihui poked her head out.
"Ali, I heard from your doorman that you're back. Did you find your nephew?"
Chen Li had a faint smile on her face, "Found it, Ah Hui, how did you know?"
Su Zhihui's smile deepened as she said, "I didn't know at first, but then I ran into your guard and saw how anxious he looked, so I went up to him and asked a few questions."
"Well, come in and sit for a while. It's getting dark now. How about staying at my house tonight?"
Su Zhihui was somewhat tempted, but thinking about what happened in the Shen family tonight, she felt that it was not appropriate at this juncture, so she gave up the idea.
"No, Ah Li, my brother and I have a place to stay, so you don't have to worry. I just came to ask if Ah Chi has found it. Now that he has found it, my brother and I will not bother you anymore."
Chen Li nodded and did not try to persuade them to stay. "Okay, go slowly on the way back. If you are still here tomorrow, come find me and I will treat you to a meal."
"It's fun. It's a deal then."
Chen Li stood at the door and watched the Su family's carriage go away, then turned and walked into the vermilion gate.
As soon as she walked back to her yard, An Wu appeared. "Miss, the human trafficker has been caught. We have also followed the clues and arrested many other human traffickers. The abducted people have been properly handed over to the authorities, and their families will be found for them."
"Okay, thank you."
An Wu: "This is what I should do. I don't deserve your thanks, young lady."
After he finished speaking, he disappeared into the dark. Chen Li did not argue with him. After all, according to their thinking, they just followed the orders of their master. Now, they were just following Pei Yu's orders.
I don’t know where Pei Yu is now?
The noise outside had nothing to do with the Shen family anymore. What happened tonight also came to an end as the Shen family rested.
When he woke up the next morning, Shen Mochi rubbed his eyes and saw his mother lying beside him, feeling a little curious.
Every time I get up, my mother is already up, but that's rare today.
"Mother~"
Xu Taohua hugged her still confused son in her arms, and her heart finally felt fulfilled.
"Achi, what do you want to eat this morning? Mom will make it for you."
His attitude sounded sudden and he was a little confused for a moment. After he came to his senses, he mentioned several dishes that were usually hard to find, and Xu Taohua agreed to them one by one.
Shen Mochi let his mother dress him, and he always felt that he had forgotten something.
It wasn't until he saw Chen Li that he remembered, didn't he go out to play last night? How come he forgot everything that happened afterwards?
"Auntie, where is my lantern?"
He was still feeling upset, wondering why he went to bed so early last night and didn't even see the lantern his aunt had prepared for him. What a shame.
But it’s the same tonight!
*╭?( ˙o˙)╯?*
"It's in my yard. You can pick it yourself later."
"OK!"
What the Shen family didn't know was that when the human trafficker kidnapped Shen Mochi, he disliked him because he was too young. If he cried and attracted attention, he would be in trouble.
So the man was just snatched away from Xu Taohua, and the next second, he was knocked unconscious by the drug.
This is the reason why he behaved like this this morning. Otherwise, even if he is usually well-behaved, sensible and courageous, he would always be afraid after experiencing such an incident.
All we can say is that blessing lies within the shadow of misfortune, and misfortune lies within the shadow of blessing.
