Before he could think any further, someone fiercely clenched their fist and smashed it down on his face!
He still had a sachet in his hand, which meant that the man who had snatched the item had turned back around!
Jiang Yu quickly spotted the man, grabbed him by the neck, and the man collapsed.
He glanced again at the person hiding behind Yu Qianbie, whose back was the only part of his head visible, and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
His quick wit made him feel more at ease.
He turned and left again.
Yu Qian, who remained behind, was filled with resentment.
Even though Jiang Yu arrived just in time, his face was still bruised.
It hurts a lot.
He may be disfigured.
He gently touched his cheek, then remembered what he had just been about to do.
Before he could turn around, a commotion arose in the street as soldiers hurriedly arrived from afar.
Several figures on the ground were writhing and groaning in pain.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the rest of the people could only reluctantly and hastily flee.
Once Wei Wei was safely down, she finally crawled out from behind Yu Qian.
She dared not speak again, glancing guiltily at Yu Qian's blushing face, and sighed inwardly.
Lord Yu, you've made things difficult for me so many times, let's call it even today.
After thinking it over, he rushed towards Jiang Yu's location.
Seeing her running towards him, Jiang Yu stood amidst the crowd, his gaze softening with satisfaction as he smiled.
Are you alright?
Wei Wei circled around him, then looked up and asked worriedly.
It's all her fault; how can she feel at ease if she gets hurt?
Jiang Yu smiled and shook his head: "It's alright."
Wei Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned to look at the child sitting on the ground, crying helplessly.
She was about three or four years old, with fair skin and a cute appearance. The clothes she wore were made of nice material, but they were already dirty and messy.
Wei Wei stepped forward to offer some comfort, but the mask on her face made her stop in her tracks.
She tugged at Jiang Yu's sleeve and whispered, "Go and coax him."
Jiang Yu was speechless, but he still went forward and picked the person up.
"Don't cry."
He awkwardly tried to comfort the child, but his voice suddenly went cold the moment he saw the child's face.
Wei Wei keenly sensed his unease and immediately stepped forward to ask him, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yu glanced at the still-crying child and suddenly chuckled softly.
Without a word, he wrapped his arms around her slender waist, his voice filled with extreme joy: "Wei'er, you are my lucky star!"
These words were so joyful that they surprised Wei Wei greatly.
He smiled and said, "I'll explain later."
The voice was so ambiguous that it made Wei Wei's face flush again.
The mother of the child, who had been crying uncontrollably not far away, finally stood up from the ground.
"Bao'er!"
She cried out and stumbled over, trying to take the child away without saying a word.
Jiang Yu had no intention of giving it to her immediately.
He looked closely at the woman with tears streaming down her face, a hint of uncertainty flashing in his eyes.
Finally, the focus shifted to Yu Qian, who was directing the officers to arrest the thieves.
"Lord Yu."
He said, "Could you please come over here?"
Upon hearing this, the child's mother seemed anxious and kept trying to take the child away.
As Yu Qian drew closer, her face was filled with panic.
Give me the child! Give me the child!
Her voice was hoarse, from crying for too long.
Is this your child?
Jiang Yu suddenly spoke, asking coldly.
These words made the woman stiffen, but she quickly raised her head again.
Wei Wei finally saw the woman's true colors.
If you don't look at her current state, she is indeed a woman with an extremely gentle and beautiful appearance.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she glared at Jiang Yu through gritted teeth: "Look at our faces! If I'm not her mother, then who is?"
The child on Jiang Yu's body had stopped crying. His fingers fiddled with Wei Wei's mask beside him, turning to curiosity.
Wei Wei gently pinched his cheek and asked, "Baby, is this your mother?"
Bao'er's eyes were still swollen, but that didn't diminish his cuteness.
Hearing Wei Wei's words, he turned and glanced at the woman.
The woman forced a hopeful, albeit awkward, smile and whispered again, "Baby, come to Mommy, okay?"
Bao'er seemed to have seen someone who terrified her, and immediately turned around and hugged Jiang Yu's neck tightly.
This situation surprised everyone.
The woman's eyes dimmed, and her whole body trembled violently.
Yu Qian also stepped forward at this moment.
He had just witnessed the process and now had doubts about women.
"Since you can't explain it clearly, let's go to the yamen (government office)."
The woman was unwilling to go, and she looked at Wei Wei with pleading eyes: "Miss, you are a woman too, you must know the pain we women suffer!"
“The child is mine, but my husband and his family want her to recognize a thief as her mother!”
"How could I accept this? How could I be willing?"
"He's all I have left, please, let them give me the child!"
After saying that, he actually knelt down in front of her.
Wei Wei immediately helped her up, her eyes showing a troubled expression.
Jiang Yu's expression darkened: "How can anyone else help with your family's affairs?"
“This child looks so kind to me, I won’t let you take him away.”
