Chapter 36 The Child Disappearance Case
Bro! You're ruthless!
【Ahhh, baby! What are you doing! Baby! Just looking at you makes my hands hurt.】
I seriously doubt that Wen Yanyu has any pain receptors; how come he didn't even flinch?
There's a kind of pain that's painful just to look at.
He just washed it with water?!
He's a real ruthless guy, awesome.
[More ruthless than that, this is a werewolf.]
Damn it, I wouldn't even do that with a small cut on my hand.
After treating the wound, Wen Yanyu turned around and squatted down in front of the several pale-faced children.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little slow. My brain didn't react for a moment. Did I scare you? I'm sorry. I'll get you some chocolate later, okay?"
Wen Yanyu's voice was gentle, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved. His expression was clearly smiling, but there was no emotion in his eyes. They were empty, as if he was just making a smiling expression instinctively.
The bone-chilling sorrow and helplessness even tainted the air with a bitter taste.
The children exchanged glances, and Li Qianhua groped for Wen Yanyu's clothes, saying, "Brother, you can have candy too."
Wen Yanyu paused slightly, then gently lowered her eyelashes: "Okay."
Suddenly, a light rain began to fall in the mountains. The raindrops made a crisp sound as they fell to the ground, and gradually gathered into small puddles in the yard, reflecting the hazy rain curtain in the sky.
The dry, hot ground gradually became moist, and the smell of earth, mixed with the scent of rain, filled the entire yard.
Several children sat in a row on small stools, watching the rain falling in the yard and chatting about various interesting things.
The middle-aged man in charge of looking after the children started chatting with the others.
Wen Yanyu sat blankly in the chair, her gaze wandering aimlessly into the distance, without moving an inch until the sun set and night fell.
Jiang Keyan sat beside him, telling stories to the little girl, glancing occasionally at Wen Yanyu who was lost in thought.
What a leisurely retirement life.
[What's wrong with my baby? He hasn't said a word since this afternoon. It's a strange feeling, I can't quite put my finger on it.]
[Maybe I'm tired from taking care of the baby all day, plus I just hurt my hand, so I want to rest.]
Suddenly, a beam of flashlight light shone in the darkness.
"Jianhua! Something's happened!"
Hearing the noise, Wang Jianhua turned to look outside the door.
The two walked hurriedly through the rain and said anxiously as soon as they entered, "We don't know where Little Tiger has run off to!"
Upon hearing that the child was missing, Wang Jianhua abruptly stood up and hurriedly threw on his clothes. "What happened?"
"I wanted to call Xiaohu home to sleep, but I couldn't find him when I came looking for him. I thought he probably ran off to play in the village, but I couldn't find him anywhere."
Wang Decai, with a full head of white hair, looked anxious: "Xiaosheng and I searched the whole village but couldn't find him."
Upon hearing the name "Xiao Hu," Wen Yanyu snapped out of her daze, stood up from her chair, and walked over to the group: "What happened to Xiao Hu?"
Upon seeing Wen Yanyu's appearance, the middle-aged man behind the hat's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately shouted angrily.
"Aren't you the one in charge of looking after the kids? Uncle Decai, I heard what Xiao Mo said today. Xiao Hu has been sullen lately because of what he said!"
"This person talked about Xiaohu again today! Maybe it's because of him that Xiaohu ran away."
Wang Decai's expression changed instantly.
Wang Yusheng clenched his fists again and continued to instigate: "Xiaohu is Uncle Decai's only son. If anything happens to Xiaohu, you just wait and see."
This statement immediately caused an uproar in the live chat.
Oh, right! That Little Tiger is the kid who got scolded by Wen Yanyu.
[Good heavens, it's raining so late at night. What if something happens to a child? Will he be responsible?]
Please, please stop harming the children.
[If my memory serves me right, Wen Yanyu spoke up against the child because he bullied the girl with poor eyesight first, and this happened several days ago.]
Although I don't like Wen Yanyu, some viewers shouldn't jump to conclusions. What does this have to do with him? Kids are naturally playful and like to run around.
【No? What did my baby do? How is this related to my baby?】
Jiang Keyan understood what was going on and couldn't hold back any longer.
"What's going on?! Yan Yu was just being kind by bringing the kids along! Everyone is responsible for their own children! What does this have to do with Yan Yu!"
"I think you're just feeling guilty and trying to shirk responsibility!" Jiang Keyan said angrily, sitting up abruptly and walking to the person in a few steps.
"You filthy woman! Do you even have the right to speak here?!" Wang Yusheng's expression changed drastically, his usual temper flared up, and he raised his hand to grab her.
Before Jiang Keyan could react, Wen Yanyu was the first to react. He reached out, grabbed her arm, pulled her towards him, and kicked her.
Completely unprepared and never expecting anyone to resist, Wang Yusheng cried out in pain, fell against the door frame, and gasped for breath while clutching his stomach.
Everyone was startled by the sudden turn of events.
Wen Yanyu steadied Jiang Keyan, shielding her behind him. His face remained expressionless and calm: "What is mine will not be shirked. Don't lay a hand on my friend."
The people around also reacted instantly.
After pressing Sang Yu back onto the sofa, Lu Mingxu followed Duan Mufeng over and shielded the two of them behind him.
What do you mean?
"You little brat? What did you just say?!" Duan Mufeng was furious.
"You city folks, you just want to make a show of us! Now the child is lost because of you! What are you going to do about it!" Wang Yusheng clutched his stomach, gasping for breath in pain.
How can someone be so strong?
Knowing he was in the wrong, Wang Jianhua angrily rebuked, "Wang Yusheng, why are you hitting a young girl instead of speaking properly!"
Wang Yusheng clutched his stomach, sweating profusely from the pain. "We were so worried because Xiaohu got lost!"
“We don’t even know what happened yet, but they came up to us and said it was our child’s fault, and even started hitting us.”
Jiang Wanrou tossed her hair and said, "Our program is live, the cameras are recording all the time, and the viewers in the live stream are watching."
The woman's smile was gentle, but there was no hint of amusement in her eyes.
A group of people surrounded Wen Yanyu, protecting her from behind.
A faint peach scent mingled with the smell of blood.
Jiang Keyan looked down, her eyes filled with the blood seeping from her own hand.
[...You scared me!]
[I almost forgot that my baby is a rabbit with incredible fighting skills.]
[How did you hit someone?]
The man started it.
[How could this guy be so shameless, touching a young girl inappropriately?]
[He's clearly a severe case of male chauvinism.]
Duan Mufeng raised an eyebrow and said directly, "The production team obtained your consent before filming, and they also paid for the filming."
Lu Mingxu said coldly, "If the child is lost, you should look for the child first. What do you mean by trying to shift the blame and even trying to hit someone?"
Wang Yusheng touched his nose, quickly glanced at Wen Yanyu who was still out of sorts, and raised his voice.
"No matter what! This person did say something to Xiaohu today, and Xiaohu was unhappy because of him! The problem originally lay with him!"
As Wang Yusheng continued to instigate.
Too much had happened, and Wang Decai could only say in a hoarse voice, "My grandson was last playing here. He's gone. You have to give me an explanation."
[Tsk, why is he so unreasonable?]
[Damn it! Don't yell at my baby! Get out of here!]
But the child did indeed disappear because of Wen Yanyu.
【？】
[Heh, if something happens to the child, wouldn't he be the murderer?]
[It seems we're watching different variety shows. What did Wen Yanyu do to him? The little boy did something wrong first, and Wen Yanyu didn't even say anything, he just stopped the little boy. How did he become the murderer? And this happened several days ago.]
