Just as An Xiaotong was about to go crazy, Lin Qingping came over and called her.
"Your Uncle Luo wants to see you. Come with me."
Upon hearing that it was Luo Shicheng who was looking for her, An Xiaotong was overjoyed.
"Luo Yan, your dad doesn't want you anymore, hehehe."
"Childish," Luo Yan rolled her eyes and went back to her classroom.
Leaning on the windowsill, Luo Yan gazed in the direction of the kindergarten gate.
Luo Shicheng stood upright under the poplar tree, his casual clothes making him appear less aloof and more approachable than usual.
Luo Yan saw Lin Qingping leading An Xiaotong toward the front door. Luo Shicheng went up to them and took out a small piece of paper from his pocket to show An Xiaotong...
Luo Shicheng took out Xu Tai's photo and asked An Xiaotong who he was. An Xiaotong replied...
"Uncle! Uncle Luo, how come you have a picture of my uncle?"
The truth revealed its ugliest side, and Luo Shicheng was horrified.
Are you sure he's your uncle?
An Xiaotong nodded, "Yes, my uncle is very good to me."
Xu Tai is the yellow-toothed man who almost harmed Hua Li back then, and this man actually knows Liu Jingqiu.
I remember that before the effects of his traditional Chinese medicine took hold, Liu Jingqiu approached him saying that An Xiaotong, whom Aunt Gao had taken home, had developed a high fever and asked him to help take her to the hospital.
As a result, he borrowed a car to pick up An Xiaotong, but when he arrived at Aunt Gao's house, no one was there, and the effects of the medication kicked in...
Luo Shicheng closed his eyes, put away the photo, and turned to leave without saying a word.
Luo Yan saw Luo Shicheng walking towards the troops and had a bad feeling.
If Luo Shicheng was returning to the army, he wouldn't need to wear civilian clothes. Wearing civilian clothes is for concealing his identity and facilitating his actions. And the road to the army just happened to be the grove of trees where his mother had the accident last night.
Oh no, Dad must suspect her now. He went to the woods in plainclothes to investigate. He'll either catch the bastard who bullied Mom first, or he'll come to arrest her.
Luo Yan recalled whether she had rescued any evidence in the grove.
footprint!
The ground in the grove was soft, so it was impossible for her to jump down from the tree without leaving a trace.
Luo Yan looked down at her shoes, where there were still traces of mud on the edges.
As long as Luo Shicheng sees the footprints she left behind, and considering that she was covered in sweat last night but only washed three bunches of grapes with Xiaoxiu, she wouldn't be able to hide it from him, given his keen perception.
What will Luo Shicheng do to her?
Is she a monster sent for dissection and research, or should her mother secretly abandon her far away?
The more Luo Yan thought about it, the more terrified she became, and she even considered running away.
No, she finally had a mother who loved and cared for her, and she didn't want to go back to being an orphan.
If Luo Shicheng finds out, so be it. There's nothing he can do if she doesn't admit it. Besides, he has his grandparents and mother protecting him. Unless Luo Shicheng wants to turn against his family, he will most likely have no choice but to endure it.
Luo Shicheng was unaware that he had become Luo Yan's number one enemy. After leaving the kindergarten, he went straight to the grove.
Next to the human-shaped indentation left by Xu Tai, a pair of small footprints were found. Based on his investigative experience, Luo Shicheng deduced that the owner of the small footprints was less than one meter tall and weighed about 12 kilograms.
The image of Luo Yan covered in sweat last night, her shoes covered in mud, and only three bunches of grapes washed flashed through Luo Shicheng's mind. He pondered for a long time.
Only this one footprint is clearly visible; the others are very shallow and discontinuous.
In other words, Luo Yan could achieve a level similar to walking on snow without leaving a trace, causing Luo Shicheng to frown deeply.
Besides the suspicious little footprints, there were also traces of an adult dragging their feet.
Xu Tai's eyes were injured, so he couldn't see the road and had to feel his way with his feet, which is why he had drag marks. That's normal.
Luo Shicheng followed the drag marks to the edge of the woods, turned right, and the single-person walk became a two-person walk.
As he walked, he identified the footprints and entered Fuyuan Village. He went directly to the brigade headquarters to inquire whether a man with injured eyes had come to the village the day before.
Having received an affirmative reply, Luo Shicheng headed towards the Wu family's location, as the captain had indicated.
In the courtyard of three brick houses, a man dressed in homespun clothes sat with his back to the gate under an apricot tree.
Luo Shicheng stepped into the courtyard, his hawk-like eyes fixed on the man.
"Xu Tai, stand up with your hands raised."
Xu Tai didn't move an inch, but the courtyard gate behind Luo Shicheng slammed shut.
Wu Chao glared at Luo Shicheng with hatred in his eyes.
Luo Shicheng walked towards Xu Tai without changing his expression. Xu Tai suddenly turned around and pointed his homemade gun at Luo Shicheng.
With a loud gunshot, Xu Tai lost his target.
Luo Shicheng's combat experience far surpassed that of Xu Tai, who had never even been in a fight. While Xu Tai was still in a daze, Luo Shicheng was already close by, punching Xu Tai in the jaw and knocking him into a deep sleep in an instant.
Wu Chao had never seen anyone move so swiftly. Seeing that things were going badly, he tried to run away, but Luo Shicheng kicked him against the wall, sending him crashing to the ground and turning him into a meat pie.
Luo Shicheng walked back to Xu Tai's side, brushed aside his hair, and examined Xu Tai's face.
Xu Tai's face was twisted by Luo Shicheng's punch, resulting in two noses and several cracks on his face, making him look very strange.
Luo Shicheng wanted to take a closer look, but then a shrill female voice rang out...
When Wu Hong saw Luo Shicheng take care of Xu Tai and his younger brother in the house, she felt a surge of hatred for him, thinking about how she lost her job and could only do odd jobs because of that brat from the Luo family, and how her brother had a criminal record.
Gritting her teeth, Wu Hong made a tough decision, tore her clothes to shreds, and rushed out the door screaming at the top of her lungs.
"Help! Someone help! Catch this pervert!"
Upon hearing the gunshot, the villagers immediately ran towards the Wu family's house. Hearing Wu Hong shout to catch the hooligans, they grabbed sticks and farm tools and rushed over.
Luo Shicheng couldn't afford to clash with the villagers, and when he tried to jump over the wall to leave, Wu Hong pounced on him and grabbed his leg.
Hearing the villagers' commotion and footsteps growing closer, Luo Shicheng, unable to escape, clenched his fists...
It's better to injure Wu Hong than to clash with the villagers. Luo Shicheng raised his fist, but suddenly a small figure leaped over the wall and jumped into his arms.
Luo Shicheng lowered his head, face to face with Luo Yan, who smiled brightly.
"Daddy, Yan Yan loves Daddy."
Don't blame her for betraying her mother to please her father; she's just a little kid who knows how to bend and stretch.
She had thought it through. Luo Shicheng was not someone Hua Li could easily fool. Rather than hiding it from Luo Shicheng and living in constant fear and anxiety, she should take the initiative and use familial affection to win over Luo Shicheng to protect her.
However, this decision was risky, so although Luo Yan said she loved her father, she was prepared to run away at any time.
Seeing the wariness in Luo Yan's eyes, hearing her sweet little voice saying "I love Daddy," and holding her tense little body, Luo Shicheng instantly understood Luo Yan's intention.
Although he noticed Luo Yan's unusual behavior, he never intended to harm her. Yet his daughter was so wary of him. Luo Shicheng understood that he was the one who had caused all of this.
Luo Shicheng gave Luo Yan a reassuring smile and gently kissed her forehead.
The courtyard gate was kicked open from the outside, and the villagers who rushed in saw a father and daughter showing deep affection for each other...
Seeing this, some villagers muttered under their breath, "How can someone be so indecent when they're holding a child? Isn't that ridiculous?"
