Airport staff, together with Zhang Jue, subdued the man with the axle.
The waiting room was temporarily converted into an interrogation room, but the man with the axle remained stubborn and refused to say a word.
Cheng Yichen remained blankly dazed, unable to get any answers.
The bachelor confessed everything without being asked, and Zhang Jue knew him and that he had a powerful background. Considering that he had at least brought Luo Yan back, Zhang let him go.
Before leaving, the bachelor tried to abduct Luo Yan and coax her away.
"Come with Uncle, Uncle will take you to eat all the local snacks in Beijing, okay?"
"Do you think I'd even acknowledge you?" Luo Yan rolled her eyes at the bachelor.
The bachelor sullenly touched his nose and walked away with his face covered in bruises.
While the bachelor was plotting how to abduct Luo Yan, Luo Yan kept observing the man on the cart.
Luo Yan noticed that the man with the axle kept glancing at the wall clock and patting Zhang Jue, seemingly unintentionally.
Zhang Jue wasn't in the mood to coax the child, but when he ignored Luo Yan, she kept taking pictures, so he could only stare at her with wide eyes.
"Why are you being so fierce? Do you think she's scared?" Luo Yan pointed at Cheng Yichen and said, "Liu Liu."
It's possible that the man with the axle was there to drop someone off, while the person picking up Cheng Yichen was probably still waiting in the terminal.
Zhang Jue said impatiently, "Uncle has important business to attend to and doesn't have time to stroll around with you."
"This guy is really stupid," Luo Yan said with a disdainful purse, pointing at Cheng Yichen again and emphasizing her words.
"Liuliu, Brother Chenchen, liuliu."
Are all children this unreasonable? Zhang Jue handed Luo Yan to Zeng Jie.
"Take her out to play for a while, don't make a fuss here."
Zeng Jie: "Captain, is it possible that Luo Yan means someone will pick up Cheng Yichen from here?"
"With such a commotion just now, do you think the other party would still be waiting in the same spot?"
"What if..."
Luo Yan thought that Zhang Jue would feel his authority was being challenged and would get angry because Zeng Jie talked back like that, but to her surprise, Zhang Jue pondered for a moment and then agreed.
Zhang Jue picked up Cheng Yichen and went for a walk, with Luo Yan following behind, but Zhang Jue pushed her back with his leg.
"You're not allowed to come along. If something happens, I won't be able to explain it to your father."
Luo Yan was speechless. Zeng Jie picked her up and put her on the sofa, then brought out various snacks given to her by airport staff to coax her.
About half an hour later, the door to the waiting room was pushed open, and Zhang Jue, covered in sweat, carried Cheng Yichen back.
"Captain, are you alright?" Zeng Jie stepped forward and took Cheng Yichen, placing her on the sofa next to Luo Yan.
"It's nothing..." Zhang Jue took the towel Yan Rong handed him and wiped the sweat off his face.
Zhang Jue glanced at Luo Yan, who was munching on an apple, his expression complicated.
“The person who came to pick up Cheng Yichen is indeed still waiting, but they don’t know anything. They’re just here to pick up the child on someone’s behalf, and the person who asked them to do so is named Li Mingzhu… So, I’m going to Jiangcheng with you this time.”
Li Mingzhu passed away yesterday. It should be that she contacted someone to pick up Cheng Yichen before the incident. Luo Yan was very curious about what Li Mingzhu would think if she knew that even her death was a scheme.
With special permission, Zhang Jue and his entourage were the first to board the plane.
For safety reasons, all five adults and two children sat together at the rear of the plane.
Once on the plane, Luo Yan went into the restroom, took out paper and pen, drew portraits of Zhang Jue, Che Zhou Hanzi, and Cheng Yichen sitting on the plane, and threw them into her spatial storage.
Just as she was about to leave, Luo Yan stopped again and continued to draw portraits of the woman she had saved and the woman in the plaid skirt, which she then put into her spatial storage.
Zhang Jue, who was waiting outside the door, knocked on the door and called out to Luo Yan when she did not come out for a long time.
Luo Yan opened the door and gave Zhang Jue a reproachful look.
Zhang Jue pretended not to see it, walked back to his seat with Luo Yan, and picked her up and placed her on the seat by the window.
The journey was so boring that Luo Yan climbed off her seat and wandered around the aisle. She noticed a middle-aged man with a nervous look in his eyes, occasionally glancing back at the tail of the plane.
Luo Yan went back and pulled Zhang Jue, who had no choice but to get up and follow her.
Luo Yan pointed at the middle-aged man, and Zhang Jue, seeing this, asked Luo Yan, "Do you know him?"
Before Luo Yan could answer, the middle-aged man said, "I don't know her."
It seems this is the person Li Mingzhu arranged to pick up Cheng Yichen. Luo Yan patted herself, "Yan Yan."
The middle-aged man was honest. "My surname is Ni, and my name is Ni Guanying. You can just call me Uncle Ni."
Luo Yan tried calling out, "Ni Ni... Uncle."
His mouth wouldn't obey him, and he couldn't utter the complete sentence "Uncle Ni".
Ni Guanying, being easygoing, said, "You can call me Ni Ni."
Zhang Jue stood there like a wooden stake, and Luo Yan, finding him in the way, pushed him back.
"You're just using it and then throwing it away, you heartless bastard!" Zhang Jue sullenly walked back to his seat and sat down, his eyes fixed on Luo Yan.
Ni Guanying loves children and even performed magic tricks to amuse Luo Yan. Although his technique was clumsy, it was clear that he was trying very hard.
Luo Yan was very accommodating to Ni Guanying, and even took out paper and pen to draw a sketch of him.
The passengers next to her watched with smiles, finding the little girl amusing, and exclaimed in surprise when Luo Yan finished drawing.
"Wow, I have to say, it looks pretty much like the real thing."
Luo Yan's drawing of Ni Guanying shows him wearing a Zhongshan suit, with a round head topped with three strands of hair, round eyes, and crescent-shaped eyebrows. He has a somewhat feminine appearance, but you can tell at a glance that he is a man.
The simple sketch was drawn so vividly that it attracted a crowd of people who heard the praise and joined in the compliments.
Ni Guanying happily accepted the painting from Luo Yan, and after showing it to everyone, he carefully put it into his briefcase.
Luo Yan started drawing again, this time drawing the women she had saved. However, this time Ni Guanying didn't react much, only coaxing Luo Yan to praise how beautiful the drawing was.
Luo Yan then drew a woman in a plaid skirt, which surprised Ni Guanying more and more.
"This is... Tang Guizhi?"
Luo Yan only drew it to try it out; if it didn't work, she would just have it to pass the time. She didn't expect that Ni Guanying would actually know the woman in the plaid skirt.
Luo Yan shoved the pen into Ni Guanying's hand, pointing to the portrait she had drawn, "Auntie."
"You two actually know each other..." Ni Guanying was surprised, so he took a pen and wrote the three characters 'Tang Guizhi' next to the portrait, and even taught Luo Yan how to pronounce them.
“Te Ang Tang, Ge Wu Wei Gui, Zhi Ri Zhi.”
Luo Yan read along perfunctorily, then burst into tears, saying, "I want an auntie."
Seeing that Ni Guanying did not respond, Luo Yan went to find Zhang Jue, pulled him over, and pointed to Tang Guizhi in the painting.
"I want Auntie..."
Zhang Jue was completely confused. "What auntie?"
Ni Guanying gave Zhang Jue a brief explanation.
Zhang Jue thought to himself, if the little girl hadn't reminded him to take Cheng Yichen out for a walk, he really wouldn't have found out about Ni Guanying, let alone know that Li Mingzhu was involved. So the little girl might have made another discovery.
"Comrade Ni, could you please take Yan Yan to see her Aunt Tang?"
Ni Guanying liked Luo Yan very much, but after all, she was someone else's child. He couldn't bear the responsibility if something happened to her if he just took her away.
Seeing Ni Guanying's troubled expression, Zhang Jue said...
"Don't worry, Yan Yan's dad will pick her up at the airport. You just need to show her the way."
