The train that He Caiwei and the others were on arrived at Pengcheng North Railway Station on time at 6 p.m. Lu Zhiheng carefully looked around and found that his daughter and nephew were desperately trying to squeeze out with their little niece. He quickly stepped forward, snatched the things they were carrying, and then reached forward and carried the little niece on his shoulder.
"Uncle, slow down." Lu Qingzhu was just startled by her uncle, who was making a way for her two younger sisters when suddenly a hand reached out from the side and pulled her luggage away.
Just as she was about to punch him, she realized that the person who had snatched her luggage was her uncle. She quickly pushed her younger sister towards him so that her uncle could pull her up.
"It's alright, you two hurry up. Daughter, your grandpa is worried about you. Go back quickly and say hello to your grandpa first." Lu Zhiheng carried his little niece and luggage and walked quickly to his donkey cart. As he walked, he didn't forget to chatter with his daughter.
"I know, I know. How is my mother doing lately?" He Caiwei knew that they had managed to salvage the day, and her family must be very worried. She just didn't know if her mother knew.
"I didn't dare tell her that I'm due to give birth in a few days. I can't handle the shock. I just told her that a section of the railway is broken and they're repairing it. We'll be back in a bit, so we can't give ourselves away." Lu Zhiheng didn't dare tell his wife. He had to agree on the story with his daughter and the others first, otherwise it would be troublesome if they found out when they got back.
"Understood, Father (Uncle)."
"Tell me what's going on with you guys. I heard from Lao Zhang that there are human traffickers?" Lu Zhiheng wanted to question the group before going home.
"Dad, take a look at this first." He Caiwei showed her father the photo she had gotten from the human traffickers. Knowing that their daughter was from a military compound, they didn't keep the envelope, so it still contained that photo and that little yellow croaker.
Those in the public security system know that the Kyoto Institute of Clinic is now capable of fingerprint testing. Although the technology is still somewhat rudimentary, it is currently the most advanced technology available. Therefore, they didn't even bother to take out the small yellow coin to look at it and directly handed the entire envelope to He Caiwei.
Lu Zhiheng emptied the contents of the envelope and was stunned when he saw his daughter's photo. He didn't know his daughter took this kind of photo; it must be an ID photo.
Upon seeing the words on the back of the photo, Lu Zhiheng was enraged. Someone in the Kyoto compound was actually trying to murder his daughter.
"Dad, calm down first. When we go back to the school, we can check the records and find out who stole my photo. You know, the school's archives have records." He Caiwei wasn't worried about not being able to catch the person. After all, there were no computers or cameras now. But now, everyone who enters the archives and wants to retrieve a file has to sign first and record which person's file they are looking for. Then, the person in charge of the archives will take out the file they need.
So once she returns to school, her uncle can check who accessed her file and find out who took her photo.
“I will talk to your uncle about this myself. I’m sorry, my daughter, given your mother’s condition, I simply cannot leave to go to Kyoto to avenge you. I’ll leave it for now. Once your father finds the murderer, I will definitely help you to punish him severely.” Lu Zhiheng looked at his daughter, feeling very guilty for not being able to avenge her immediately.
“It’s okay. Once we find him, Uncle definitely won’t let him off the hook. Your most important thing right now is to take care of my mother and the baby in her belly. There’s no rush to get revenge. As long as we catch him, what’s there to be afraid of? Don’t you think so?” He Caiwei actually really wanted to get revenge herself, but she knew it was impossible. After all, her uncle was the first to disagree. Generally, the adults in the family wouldn’t let the younger ones get involved in dangerous things.
Once home, the group remained tight-lipped about the human traffickers. When Old Man He asked, they only said they were half asleep and got off at the wrong stop. By the time they realized it, it was too late, and they had spent the night in a hotel.
Although the old man was not entirely convinced, seeing his granddaughter's resolute expression, he no longer had any doubts.
He was definitely happy that his granddaughter was home. If his hands weren't shaking so badly, he would definitely cook a delicious meal for her.
"Grandpa, we're back."
"Does Grandpa miss me?"
"These are the new clothes I brought for Grandpa."
"These are cotton shoes for Grandpa."
...
The old man listened to his granddaughter's rambling, sipping his tea as he watched her rummage through her bag.
The old man felt that his life was already very fulfilling. Now he not only had his daughter and granddaughter, but also his son-in-law and the little one in his daughter's belly.
For decades, he had never dared to imagine that he could have such a happy life. He murmured to himself, "Old woman, do you see? Our daughter has found a good home, our granddaughter is obedient and sensible, and our son-in-law is a good man. Wait for me for a few more days. I want to see the baby in our daughter's belly after it is born. Once I see it, I will be fulfilled and I will come to be with you."
He Caiwei had just returned and finished getting gifts for the old man when she took the rest of the things to her mother's place. Her mother's belly was so big that it didn't look like she was having a single pregnancy.
But now is not the time to ask that. It's already getting dark outside. We need to hurry up and cook everyone a meal so they can fill their stomachs before we talk about this.
"Honey, your Uncle Zhang is coming over for dinner tonight, so we'll have to cook extra for him. You should steam some rice first, then take Qingyue to wash up and change her clothes. She looks so listless; she must be exhausted. Let her take a shower first, and she can go back to rest after dinner." Lu Zhiheng noticed his niece's low spirits and assumed she was tired from the long car ride, so he wanted her to eat first and rest later.
He Caiwei knew that this was not because she was too tired, but because she had inhaled too much of the drug and hadn't rested properly due to fear.
Although she added a lot of water from her spatial dimension to the cup, this spatial water wasn't a panacea. For a frightened child like Xiao Qingyue, it was still necessary to take her to a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
"I understand." He Caiwei answered while quickly washing the rice and cooking. After putting down the rice, she took Lu Qingyue and Lu Qingzhu back to her own courtyard.
While He Caiwei was arranging rooms for them, Lu Zhiheng had already brought over the boiled water. He Caiwei didn't plan to let Lu Qingyue sleep alone; the little girl had been frightened earlier and definitely wouldn't dare to sleep alone.
He Caiwei was too busy to help, so she had to ask the old man for help. He asked him to get some medicine for the child's convulsions. Only then did the old man realize that the little girl had been frightened. He braved the cold wind and hurried out to get the medicine for her.
