Tang noticed Lu Lin's expression and cautiously reached out to tug at the corner of Lu Lin's clothes.
Those eyes, which had just been crying, looked watery and pitiful when they looked up.
Especially since Tang Wan had some bruises from being dragged around, she looked even more pitiful.
Of course, Tang Wan didn't feel that she was pitiful; she just subconsciously wanted to hold onto Lu Lin so that he wouldn't get angry.
Lu Lin sighed, squatted down, and picked Tang Wan up.
He then realized that little Tang Wan was now ice cold all over.
She was even trembling involuntarily.
Those scarred hands were trembling slightly, and the pale face, barely the size of a palm, seemed devoid of color.
Lu Lin reached out and touched Tang Wan's back; her clothes were soaked.
He was both angry and heartbroken. He reached out to protect Tang Wan's head, saying, "Now you know fear? Like a little quail."
Upon hearing Lu Lin's voice, Tang Wan reached out and hugged Lu Lin's neck, gently rubbing her face against him.
It's like a kitten knowing it's done something wrong, rubbing its head against someone it loves, wanting forgiveness.
Little did they know that even if the kitten did nothing, those who love kittens would still love her.
Tang Wan, with her head resting on Lu Lin's neck, watched the man being carried away, took a deep breath, and tried to slow her heartbeat.
This wasn't the first time Tang Wan had calculated the steps, but it was the most dangerous one.
Tang Wan saw the IP address of Lu Lin's last message in the room, which was very close to the place where Su Jiajia's IP address disappeared.
Judging from the map, that sea area is extremely close to the border of China.
If Su Jiajia is abroad, she most likely crossed the border illegally. As long as Lu Lin crosses the border, he will be safe.
Jingjiao's geographical location is situated on the edge of the ocean.
Lu Lin had to pass through the dock to return.
However, Jingjiao has too many docks, making it impossible to pinpoint which one Lu Lin will choose.
It didn't matter, Tang Wan sent a message to her father before leaving the room.
All the docks need to be inspected and guarded.
Ensuring Lu Lin's safety was paramount.
Tang Wan thought that the group of people behind Su Jiajia dared to take action because they had many people behind them and enough money to support their operation.
That's why they act so recklessly and audaciously.
In their view, their greatest reliance was Lu Lin.
During the time Lu Lin was missing, they would most likely have attacked him.
But if they want to kidnap themselves, they need an excellent time.
Tang Wan was always inseparable from Lu Ze and Gou Xi, and she was surrounded by many bodyguards, so they couldn't find a good opportunity to make a move.
Tang Wan took the initiative to give them a chance.
Her face showed anxiety and panic; she knew that someone was watching her in the darkness.
She was putting on a show for them.
She was all too familiar with those looks.
Before leaving the orphanage, I was always being "watched".
Just as Tang Wan uses their gaze to infer their actions, they also use these "eyes" to observe Tang Wan's behavior.
In countless dark nights, Tang Wan, in dark rooms, basements, and filthy cages, repeatedly imagined in her mind what kind of eyes would appear in the darkness.
They must be arrogant, which is why they shut themselves off from the outside world, allowing themselves to see the filth and chaos of that small world, and wanting to give up on living.
They didn't take matters into their own hands, seeing themselves as pathetic caged birds. Perhaps in their eyes, controlling their own minds was more interesting than letting themselves die in an instant.
Perhaps in their eyes, killing themselves or any other human life is insignificant and not worth mentioning.
That's why they are so contemptuous.
Tang Wan was grateful for their disregard, which allowed her to escape from a desperate situation, but she did not agree with their contempt for life.
The lack of reverence for life is itself a sign of a breakdown in order.
She had been waiting, waiting for an opportunity.
Finally, today, she saw what lay behind the spying gaze.
The explosion of the cruise ship demonstrates their considerable power on the high seas.
Tang Wan didn't know if Tulus knew the identities of those people, but judging from Tulus's recent frenzied acquisitions of foreign companies, he was truly furious.
Su Jiajia's actions also proved that the orphanage and the Huainan border were right under those people's noses.
However, in recent years, domestic regulations have become increasingly strict, which has made them hesitant to act and unable to catch themselves in time when they discovered their abnormalities.
Tang Wan knew that even if their operation failed this time, they would not change their arrogant personalities.
After all, if they truly valued their abilities, they wouldn't have let a wicked man capture them.
Lu Lin held Tang Wan in his arms and let the doctor treat the wound on Tang Wan's neck. Looking at Tang Wan, whose face was only pale but whose eyes were normal, he reached out and poked her brow.
This time the movement was a bit too forceful, causing Tang Wan's brow to turn red.
"What can I say? You're only six years old this year, not sixteen, and certainly not twenty-six."
"You should rely on the adults for support."
"Tangtang, rely on us for support."
The doctor was unfamiliar with Tang Wan and naturally wouldn't have imagined that this little brat had deliberately provoked such a dangerous moment.
However, it was somewhat surprising to see the young master of the Lu family, who always looked down on everyone, showing such an expression.
Can such a young child really understand the danger of this situation?
So he spoke up to defend Tang Wan, saying, "Miss Tang Wan probably didn't want to either."
"It was an accident. Who knew those human traffickers were still determined to take revenge on the children?"
"They've done so much evil!"
At this point, the doctor became indignant.
It's inhuman to harm such a young child!
Tang Wan blinked when she heard the doctor's words, looking somewhat innocent.
When Lu Lin was interrupted, he composed himself, patted Tang Wan's head, grabbed her wrist, and set several commands on her children's watch.
It's basically the procedure that will call the police if Tang Wan's heart rate is too fast.
To prevent Tang Wan from using herself as bait and falling into the trap again.
After doing all this, Lu Lin stood up, pinched Tang Wan's soft face, and tucked the blanket around her.
Looking at the adorable little girl buried in the blankets, who would have thought that she could use everything around her to lure the crazy people into her carefully laid trap?
Lu Lin sounded tired; he hadn't slept for over forty hours since returning from overseas.
Looking at the obedient Tang Wan, he finally felt a sense of relief. He said in a hoarse voice, "I'll go to Si Huai's place to review everything. I'll bring you an orange cake later. You should get some rest."
"Stop using your brain!"
Tang Wan looked at the furious Lu Lin and turned her head away guiltily.
Then Lu Lin pinched his cheek again.
Did you hear me?
