Mainly believe in the eldest son.
Since Boss Diao said so, then perhaps, coming to Shanhai might be enough to save him. So, in a daze, Lu Cijiu exchanged WeChat with Zhou Cheng. The elevator just reached the first floor. Zhou Cheng spoke a bit quickly, "Master Lu, I've already handed over my work at the office and will be there as soon as possible."
"Hey, okay." Lu Cijiu said.
Zhou Cheng pressed the button to go to the parking garage. The elevator door slowly closed. Lu Cijiu saw Zhou Cheng protecting the cat bag with one hand, and the stern expression on his face softened slightly.
"Mr. Zhou is quite kind-hearted," said Lu Cijiu.
He has a soft heart, which is inconsistent with his cold appearance.
Gong Xichao snorted and strode out first.
You're the same. Cold on the outside, soft on the inside, and a bit of a tsundere. Otherwise, you wouldn't have told a stranger that a dying Zhe could still be saved.
Is this the eagle's sense of responsibility?
We are all monsters.
Lu Cijiu held the cubs' hands and said with a smile, "Brother Gong, you're walking so fast, do you know where the playground is?"
Gong Xichao: ...
Hehe. The eldest son is so adorable. Lu Cijiu and his cubs happily catch up with the stopped figure.
Douqingdiandou arranged a seven-seater SUV with a driver, and Lu Cijiu stayed with them for the day. They arrived at the amusement park a little after 4 p.m., a bit late for them, but the park had nighttime performances and fireworks.
So the timing is just right.
Lu Cijiu carried the kids off the bus and said hello to the driver. He told them to just pick them up at 9 p.m. They'd have lunch at the amusement park that afternoon.
Perfect.
"Hold hands and be careful not to get lost." Lu Cijiu reminded the kids.
Gong Xichao had already gotten out of the car and was staring at a mother and son. The mother had a rope tied around her wrist, with the other end looped around her son. He thought it was a good idea. He looked around and saw someone selling things at the entrance to the scenic area. He turned back to look at the road ahead and bid farewell.
"The road is over and the bill is settled."
"Oh, what are they?" Lu Cijiu brought his children over and saw that there were also mothers and children buying things. The two mothers saw Lu Cijiu with four children and said enthusiastically, "You buy it first, you really need it."
"Yeah, four kids."
It turned out to be a children's leash. Lu Cijiu thought it was a good idea and asked the four kids if they wanted one.
"I want to buy it, why are you asking them?" Gong Xichao said with a cold face and not very happy.
Lu Cijiu checked out for Daerzha first. As soon as he finished paying, Daerzha took out a fluorescent green bandage, thought about it for a moment, put it on his wrist, and glanced at it coldly, "Lu Cijiu, hand."
"ah?"
"Ah what?"
Ah, I just don't want to wear it, brother. Look, both mothers are looking at us. Although I know I am your father, others don't know. It's not good for a big son to do this.
Lu Cijiu looked hesitant, and Gong Xichao was even more cold. He had already taken a step back, trying to satisfy Lu Cijiu's desire to get close to him and go to the amusement park with him, but now he was not willing to do so.
That's really too much!
"Someone is watching us." Lu Cijiu explained in a low voice, and smiled awkwardly but politely at the two young mothers.
Gong Xichao: "Forget it, I'll let you go this time. Don't do it again next time."
"Where did you learn that word? What kind of nonsense are you watching on TV again?" Lu Cijiu was furious, but because they were in public, he didn't argue with his eldest son.
Finally, the fluorescent green leash fell into the hands of Dalong and Dudu.
One big one leads one small one.
Big dragon Dudu, little cat with a small tail.
Gong Xichao concealed the slightly reluctant look in his eyes, snorted coldly, and strode forward.
"Lu Bi Jiu, sugar."
"The road says goodbye to the old, water."
"Lu Cijiu, balloon. I want the one with Kun."
It's clearly a fish.
Lu Cijiu was in the back paying the bill. Whatever the eldest son had, the little ones got to have too. The kids held cotton candies in one hand and had a hydrogen balloon tied to the back of their little schoolbags. Lu Cijiu saw the eldest son was about to open his mouth again, so he said first, "Hey, what's so interesting over there? Let's go check it out. It's really nice."
I ate first thing as soon as I entered the amusement park.
Gong Xichao was tall and took a look from a distance. He said, "Boring." Then he strode over.
Lu Bijiu: ...
It was the cubs' first time at such a large amusement park, so they couldn't try the exciting rides. But they were already dazzled by the sight. After nearly three months of raising them, they've been fed bone soup and meaty dishes, along with formula. Now, they're fair and tender, wearing matching clothes and carrying cartoon bags with balloons tied to them. They're a real head-turner wherever they go.
Of course, the one who gets the most attention is the eldest son.
Gong Xichao held the balloon in one hand and finished half of the marshmallow in one bite. He turned around and looked at Lu Cijiu, "What's so fun about this?"
The carousel is two stories high, in macaron colors, and looks like a dreamy girl. It is also covered with diamonds and sparkles.
"Do you want to play? If not, I'll accompany them—"
"Who said I don't want to play?" Gong Xichao gestured with his chin, "Buy a ticket."
“…” Lu Cijiu: “No need to buy a combined ticket, just queue up.”
The kids were very eager to go on the carousel. At 4pm, there weren't many people. The people queuing here were mostly mothers with little girls, or couples. It was rare to see two grown men with four children.
Especially Gong Xichao's appearance and style are eye-catching.
Lu Cijiu had calmed down when he heard a pair of young ladies behind him chattering about how beautiful, gorgeous, short, cute, sunny, etc., and said, "Thank you so much."
The short guy was implied.
Besides, he is not short, just 1.8 meters tall. It’s just that the eldest son hit him too high!
"Shh, take pictures secretly. He has a bad temper and will hit people." Lu Cijiu said, turning around.
"Huh?" The girl was caught red-handed filming with her phone. The girl next to her was brave enough to ask, "Did he hit you?"
"Of course not." Lu Cijiu took it for granted, he was the father! But seeing that the two girls believed it and were very serious, Lu Cijiu immediately explained: "I was joking, he doesn't hit people."
Gong Xichao heard everything and said coldly, "Who said I don't beat people? Not only do I beat people, I also eat them."
"Did you eat him?" the girl suddenly asked.
Gong Xichao snorted, "Lu Cijiu, did you hear me? I will eat you."
"Eat, eat, eat." If you don't eat, you're not a 4,800-year-old eagle.
Two girls:!!!
Lu Bijiu:???
What's going on with you two suddenly getting so excited?
"Hehe." The two girls smiled at him.
Lu bid farewell to the old days and went back happily.
It seemed as if everything was self-evident, but only Lu Cijiu, with a question mark on his face, got on the merry-go-round. It was their turn.
The carousel had a small train, and the kids were arranged in pairs, fastened their seat belts, and Lu Cijiu chose a white horse that was closer to the kids' train and got on. Gong Xichao took a long time to choose, and Lu Cijiu turned around and said, "It's about to start, find a place to sit."
"Since you asked me to sit behind you, I'll give you a favor."
Gong Xichao then sat on the black horse behind Lu Cijiu with a look of reluctance.
Lu Bijiu:???
As long as you are happy.
The music started playing and the wooden horse started to move up and down. The cubs were startled at first, as they had never played with it before, but after a while they got used to it and became very happy, looking around with sparkling eyes and waving their paws to look at Jiujiu.
Lu Cijiu was taking pictures of the cubs. I turned the camera around and saw the eldest child sitting majestically on a high horse. He seemed to be in a good mood. I took a picture of him as well.
When the time came, Grandpa Diao waved his hand and said, "Add an extra hour to the old road."
???
Where did you learn this word from?
After playing once more, Diao Zong seemed unsatisfied. Lu Cijiu was afraid to ask for more time, so he spun his head a little and said without hesitation, "Let's go play bumper cars."
"Okay." Gong Xichao reluctantly agreed to play with Lu Cijiu for once.
Bumper cars require adults to ride them, so Lu Cijiu wanted to take turns with Gong Xichao, letting Gong Xichao take Dalong for a ride. He and his three cubs cheered outside the railing. Tail King jumped up and down, shouting, "Go Dalong!!"
"Come on, Uncle Dalong!"
Both Dudu and the kitten were infected, and they shouted slogans enthusiastically, "Come on, Dudu!" and "Come on, kitten!"
Lu Cijiu: “Duck!!!”
There was a couple on the field who particularly liked to bump into Gong Xichao. Da Long wasn't afraid, but every time they did, the car shook, and he subconsciously screamed out loudly. Gong Xichao was driving for the first time, and he hadn't gotten used to it yet. The way his long hair swung when he was bumped made him feel very nervous.
Lu Cijiu: Stop it, Mr. Diao, please cool down and don’t kill anyone.
But unfortunately, his pouring of oil was useless, as the eldest son didn't hear it. Then everyone saw the red sports car that was stuck in the corner suddenly speed up. While the man in love was laughing and saying that good looks were useless because he was still screaming after being hit by me, the sports car accelerated like a rocket.
Lu Cijiu: "..."
"Ah!!!!" The girl couple screamed at the top of their lungs.
The man tried to steer in vain, unable to escape, and not only was he bumped along the way, it seemed as if the car was trying to push him over the railing.
During the entire match, Gong Xichao stared at the couple.
Dalong clapped his hands excitedly, "Uncle is so great."
"Uncle Gong is so awesome." Weilu is also a little fan.
Dudu is similar to a kitten, and I adore his two little faces.
After the fight, the couple fled. Gong Xichao snorted and sat in the car, saying with a noble and cold demeanor, "Change people."
Dalong's face flushed with excitement as he got out of the car and ran away, saying, "It's your turn to be the tail. My uncle is so awesome, don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid. I saw it. Dalong, you are so great and awesome." Tail couldn't wait any longer.
Lu Cijiu took out a small towel from his schoolbag and wiped Dalong's face. Dalong was very happy, his face flushed, and he kept saying, "Jiujiu, did you see that? My uncle is so powerful, I'm not afraid at all."
"Dalong is very brave."
Dalong was so happy that he held the water bottle and drank water.
This place was Gong Xichao's world, the king of the place, he was speeding with his four cubs, knocking everyone away, no one dared to touch him. In the end, the four cubs were having a great time, including Gong Xichao.
This monster pretended to be cool and just sprinkled water on him, which was a piece of cake.
Lu Cijiu wanted to laugh when he saw this, and he applauded, "Brother Gong, you are really awesome. Everyone is looking at you."
"I saw it. Everyone envies you for having someone like me—" Gong Xichao was so excited that she almost blurted out "boyfriend," but luckily she braked in time and said modestly, "teammate."
Lu Cijiu: "..."
Who would envy him for this?
But of course he couldn't say that, so he nodded immediately, "Of course."
Go eat after playing tired.
The children on the road were all held by their parents. There were four of them in their family, holding hands and jumping around happily, chatting and whispering as they walked in front. Lu Cijiu overheard a little and was still talking about how great Uncle Dalong was.
He subconsciously glanced at Boss Diao, and sure enough, Boss Diao had a reserved look of happiness on his face.
But I can't control you.
Lu Cijiu felt happy in his heart.
The kids had a great time and had a great appetite for lunch. The food here is not particularly delicious, but it is very childlike. The children's set menu includes pandas, giraffes, cats, etc. The kids can pick the ones they like.
"Brother Gong, would you like me to order a fish set meal for you?" Lu Cijiu said with a deliberate wicked smile.
Gong Xichao: "Sure."
There's no fish-patterned set menu. Lu Cijiu: ...He's a mean person.
He gave a flattering giggle, "Big fish isn't good enough for Kun, so let's pick someone else, okay? Okay? Okay?"
"Lu Cijiu, you are such a clingy person." Gong Xichao curled his lips and nodded to let it go this time.
The clingy guy said goodbye to the old man: ...Okay, it’s me.
After dinner, we booked a room at a hotel in Jingyuan. The cubs were tired from playing and needed to go to the bathroom to make some milk powder and take a nap. When it comes to raising the cubs, Lu Cijiu doesn't make them suffer.
We booked a double room.
The kids went to the bathroom, washed their hands and faces, and then climbed into bed to sleep. The bed was 1.8 x 2 meters, and there was still room for four of them to sleep sideways. Lu Cijiu slept at the edge, intending to take a nap.
After a while the room was quiet.
Gong Xichao was sitting on the sofa playing with Lu Cijiu's mobile phone. When he heard the familiar regular breathing sound, he immediately put the phone down and looked up at Lu Cijiu beside the bed.
After hesitating for a moment, he walked over.
"The road is old."
"If you don't say anything, it means you know you're wrong. Beg for forgiveness, and I'll forgive you and end the cold war."
Road to bid farewell to the old: Huhu (.-w-) zzz
"Good. The Cold War is over."
After Gong Xichao finished giving orders, he returned to the sofa in a happy mood and started playing with his phone again.
[Can I ask, little brother, is the long-haired guy in the video single? He's so handsome, can I have his contact information?]
A girl sent a private message to Lu Cijiu on Weibo.
There were actually quite a lot of private messages like this, some insulting, some harassing, some disruptive, some questioning the talisman paper. Lu Cijiu usually didn't read them and just cleared them directly. But this time, it fell into Gong Xichao's hands.
Gong Xichao's face turned a little colder with joy as he typed with one finger.
【No, he is mine.】
He also blocked the girl.
Girls first!!!
She knew that as expected, all the handsome guys had boyfriends.
Wait till she sends you her blessing, then???
Why was she blocked?
But after I came to my senses, I was not angry at all. Instead, I took a screenshot happily and posted on Weibo: It's a fairy-tale love, I just asked, I didn't expect the blogger to be so possessive, and he even blocked me hehe, a beautiful, strong and domineering top and a married woman's possessive bottom szd.
Knowing nothing in my dream, I bid farewell to the old: Huhu (.-w-) zzz
At 7:30, the lights in the amusement park came on. The kids were sound asleep. It was late and a little cold outside. Lu Cijiu looked at his eldest son and said, "Brother Gong, take out the kids' clothes."
There was a big bump on the bed.
Inside are the cubs' thick coats.
Gong Xichao had a Qiankun bag. Lu Cijiu didn't know exactly how much it could hold, but it should be quite large, so he could easily take it out of the jade bed. Before, Lu Cijiu hadn't had the guts to ask Diao Zong to do it, but it wasn't until he realized that Diao Zong was cold on the outside, but soft-hearted and pure-hearted, that he finally asked for the Qiankun bag to carry his baby's clothes after they became familiar with each other.
Sure enough, Boss Diao just took a look at him and pretended anyway.
"Brother Gong, please put thick coats on the pups while I prepare the milk powder."
Gong Xichao: This road is getting further and further ahead.
"Uncle, we will wear it ourselves."
"I didn't say I'd change for you. When I was your age, I could already change clothes." Gong Xichao sat on the edge of the bed, pointing with his chin, "Put them on."
Tail and Dalong put their clothes on first, then went to help the kitten Dudu. The inner sleeve got stuck halfway, making Dudu uncomfortable and moving his arms. The kittens didn't notice and put the clothes on again. Gong Xichao asked the kittens to move aside and put Dudu back on himself.
Finally, comment on the tail and the dragon.
"fool."
Tail Dragon: ...feeling aggrieved.
Lu Cijiu prepared the milk powder. The four kids held the bottles, drank the milk, went to the toilet, and then went out to continue playing.
There are still many people in the amusement park at night.
Everyone came for the performance, parents brought their children, and there were also fireworks to watch.
The lights in the scenic area were shining brightly. Lu Cijiu let the four cats hold on tightly. After watching the performance, Dudu said, "It's time to pee."
"Okay, let's find a restroom."
I drank milk before going out, which was about the same. Lu Cijiu asked all four of them to go.
Dudu was a girl, so it was not easy for her to go into the men's restroom. Lu Cijiu told Dudu to go in by herself and come out after she was done. Uncle Gong would be waiting for her at the door. Dudu nodded obediently, and Lu Cijiu led the other three into the men's restroom.
There are not many people in the men's restroom, but there are quite a lot of people in the women's restroom.
When Lu Cijiu came out from his work, Gong Xichao was gone. He was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and asked a lady to go in and look for Dudu.
"There's no girl you mentioned."
As expected.
Lu Cijiu now regrets not buying a mobile phone for Mr. Diao, and he must arrange it when he returns.
"Don't worry, Jiji. I know where my uncle is," Dalong said. "I can smell him."
It seems that Mr. Diao left a clue for Dalong.
Lu Cijiu held the kitten in his arms, while Dalong and Weiba walked in front to lead the way. They walked further and further away from the designated place for setting off fireworks, and finally arrived at the small side gate of the park, where a van was parked outside.
The dark street light was broken.
In front of the van, a golden eagle stared at the van with sharp eyes. Under its claws was a little girl with a round face, pigtails, a pink skirt, a beige sweater, and a round face.
"Dudu and uncle." Dalong pointed at Gaoxing and said.
Lu Cijiu subconsciously looked around, but there was no surveillance, luckily.
He now had a rough idea of what was going on; human traffickers must have been targeting them. Two grown men with four children were having trouble finding their way, so they specifically targeted Dudu when he was using the restroom.
Are there children in the van?
"Sister Ping, there is an eagle. Wasn't that little girl in the car? Why did she run down?" The driver, Daquan, was sweating coldly when he was stared at by the eagle. The golden eyes were so sharp that it seemed like it wanted to peck him blind.
If Lu Cijiu heard this, he would definitely say that you are overthinking it and that Diao Zong thinks it is dirty.
Sister Ping is a woman in her fifties who has been in this line of work for more than twenty years. Upon hearing this, she said, "What nonsense! I clearly tied it up myself—" But when she looked at the spot again, it was empty.
How could it be gone?
She clearly knocked the little girl unconscious in the ladies' room herself, and carried her out covered with clothes.
As long as you are brave enough and coax Niu Niu to go home and sleep, even if someone talks to her, they will not suspect anything and will just treat her as the little girl's grandmother.
I have a lot of experience, but today I really saw something weird.
"Turn around, go back, and leave quickly." Sister Ping said.
The driver started the car, but it seemed to be glued to the road, unable to move. He looked at the majestic golden eagle not far from the window, and instantly heard a click, and the van window exploded.
"Wow, is this 110? I found a human trafficker at the side door of the west gate of the xx amusement park. Yes, I caught him because my child was stolen. I'm stopping him now. Please come as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Cijiu put the phone in his pocket and rolled up his sleeves.
"Brother Gong, give me a chance and let me beat him up too."
He called the police. It was a disaster, and since he looked like a repeat offender, they might be able to get some information from him, in case there were other children who had been scammed. He had just discovered that Dudu was missing, and he was terrified at the moment. He had to give him a beating to vent his anger.
The eagle returned to human form.
"I'll notify you when the police arrive." Gong Xichao felt that Lu Cijiu was very much to his liking.
Lu Cijiu asked the children to cover their eyes and stand aside while he waited for him. When he got in the car, he found that there was another child, a boy about two years old, who had fallen asleep. He immediately closed the car door and beat the two people with a punch, making them cry for their parents.
The driver tried to open the car door to escape, but the door wouldn't open!!!
It was Lu Cijiu who heard the sirens of police cars, lowered his sleeves, and asked, "Why didn't you say anything? The police will be here soon."
"You're having fun playing."
"Hehe, that's right." Lu Cijiu spat at the van.
The police arrived quickly. When they saw the situation in the car, Lu Cijiu was very cooperative. He told them that a family of six came to the amusement park to play and Dudu was abducted. Gong Xichao chased after them first, and he arrived later. He was so angry that he accidentally lost control of his emotions and was very sorry.
"It's okay, it's okay. We've seen this kind of situation many times." The female police officer looked understanding.
When a human trafficker is caught stealing a child by a parent, it's considered lucky if they're not beaten to death. She understands and sympathizes with the parents' feelings.
The male police officer who was investigating inside did not feel any sympathy when he saw the two human traffickers with bruised faces and noses, and was even cold-blooded and ruthless.
"There's another child. Let's notify the park first and have the parents come and identify him."
Soon the parents arrived. A young couple was so anxious that they were almost going crazy, crying while holding their child. When they heard the police say that it was two men over there who found and saved the child, the couple thanked them together and almost knelt down.
Children are truly the soul of a family. If they are lost, the family will be broken up.
"You're welcome. It's my duty." Lu Cijiu stopped them and asked the couple to take the child to the hospital first.
Everything was handled, and no fireworks were seen, but Lu Cijiu was in a very happy mood. He hugged Dudu and kissed him, then turned his head to look at Boss Diao and said with a smile, "Mr. Gong Xichao, the enthusiastic citizen, you are very brave today."
Gong Xichao's mouth corners slightly raised.
Lu Cijiu's love for him deepened. He felt it.
The incident made the local news at 11:00 PM that evening, reminding residents to keep an eye on their children when traveling. Ten days later, further information emerged from the human trafficker, "Sister Ping," who revealed a long-term connection. Police launched a cross-provincial operation across three locations, dismantling the trafficking ring and rescuing 22 children.
[…Once again, special thanks to Mr. Lu and Mr. Gong, the kind citizens who worked together to combat the criminals and prevent a tragedy from happening…]
