Chapter 1

short-haired girl was exasperated, her voice unconsciously rising a few decibels. "Lin Wan, you're twenty years old, not forty!""Shh!" Lin Wan whispered, her slender white finger raised to the pink t...A gentle breeze blew in through the window, causing the gauze curtains to sway slightly. Standing before the glass wall, which occupied one-third of the entire wall, one could see a magnificent view stretching out far and wide. However, from outside, no one could see inside.

Below a glass wall, two youthful and beautiful children sat face to face on the ground, their expressions serious.

"...That's just how it is." The speaker was a child with shiny, jet-black hair that fell straight down. Her willow-shaped eyebrows framed bright almond eyes that sparkled as she looked at people. The slight curl of her thick eyelashes when she looked at someone seemed to have a natural touch of amusement.

"So you're going to go find a job and then come back with a son" The short-haired girl was exasperated, her voice unconsciously rising a few decibels. "Lin Wan, you're twenty years old, not forty!"

"Shh!" Lin Wan whispered, her slender white finger raised to the pink tip of Mei Min's nose. "Min Min, be quiet."

He Minmin instantly covered her mouth, her long and narrow dan eyes couldn't help but turn to look in the distance.

On the rug, a little boy about two and a half years old sat quietly, building a block house. After placing a few blocks, he would glance at Lin Wan.

Lin Wan's gaze remained on the child. Seeing the child look over, she smiled encouragingly and praised, "Good job, baby!"

The child, An An, was quiet and didn't speak. But her big eyes clearly showed her joy, and she became even more focused on building her block house.

He Minmin continued to rant, whispering, "You really take on all the trouble. Since this is a police matter, just give it to the police officers! Why are you trying to do everything yourself Don't you think you're still a child and can even take care of your own kids"

Lin Wan softly said, "But the baby was holding onto me, and those terrified eyes made my heart ache. I couldn't bear to leave the child at the police station..."

After a pause, she couldn't help but say, "I can take good care of the baby."

Then she sighed again, "I don't know when the baby's real parents will come looking for him."

He Minmin scoffed, "Who knows, maybe this child…" was abandoned But that was too hurtful, so He Minmin didn't say it out loud.

Lin Wan and He Minmin are recent graduates of university. Lin Wan graduated at the young age of twenty because she started studying early, while He Minmin is two years younger.

The two were college dorm mates. Lin Wan, the youngest of the group, was always treated like a little sister by the other three girls.

But after graduating from university, everyone went their separate ways. The other two roommates moved to other cities, leaving only the two of them in J City.

Last month, everyone was busy looking for jobs and adapting to work. They got in touch with each other. He Minmin ran around to many companies and finally settled on a workplace. Now, she came to find Lin Wan to share the good news.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Wan brought an even bigger "surprise" home—a toddler over two years old. Apparently, the child had gone missing.

Lin Wan sent the child to the police station to report, possibly because Lin Wan saved the child. The child was very attached to Lin Wan. When Lin Wan wanted to leave the child at the police station, the child looked at Lin Wan with pitiful eyes, like a stray dog that had been abandoned.

The little hand was still clutching Lin Wan's and refusing to let go.

Lin Wan couldn't bear to part with the child, so she filed a case at the police station and took the child home.

Contact the child's relatives by phone once they are found.

After thinking about it, He Minmin felt uneasy. “Let me take care of the child with you,” she said. It’s always better to have two people than one when things get chaotic.

Lin Wan said, "Don't worry, I can handle it. The baby is very well-behaved and easy to take care of. Didn't you just find a new job You've just started working, so you can't often take leave."

He Minmin thought about it, too. It's not easy for a recent graduate to find a job that matches their major and offers good benefits. If they don't perform well and fail the probationary period, it would be a loss.

Then I'll come over if I have time.

>Sounds good.

He Minmin looked at her watch, it was getting late, and she had other things to do. She said, "I'll go first then. Call me if you need anything."

Lin Wan made an OK gesture.

Two people stood up and walked to the child. Lin Wan squatted down and looked directly at the child, "Baby, Auntie Minmin is leaving oh Say goodbye to Auntie"

The child did not react to this, only continuing to build with their blocks, occasionally glancing at Lin Wan's direction, as if she were a confirmed presence.

Lin Wan didn't get angry either. From the moment she picked up the baby, she hadn't heard the baby speak.

"Baby, I'm going to see Auntie Minmin off. I'll be back soon."

Lin Wan finished speaking, confirmed that the child had no adverse reactions, and then walked out of the room with He Minmin.

Lin Wan sent He Minmin to the door. He Minmin thought for a moment and asked, "When are you going to take the children to the hospital" Even though they didn't have much experience raising children, they knew something was not right with the kids.

"Tomorrow." I have scheduled the appointment for tomorrow.

Tomorrow... He Minmin hesitated, wanting to say she would accompany him, but she had something to do tomorrow...

"I can do it." Lin Wan smiled.

"Silly girl, don't be so naive in the future. A child should only do such things when they have the ability to protect themselves." He Minmin was a tall girl, standing half a head taller than Lin Wan in front of her.

Lin Wan's head was glaring with anger, her eyes blazing like steel. How could Lin Wan, a helpless young woman, dare to snatch the child right under the noses of the human traffickers

He Minmin's heart skipped a beat, she felt a chill run down her spine. She would rather have Lin Wan be selfish than what she was now.

It's not that I don't want to be kind, but the price of doing good may be too high for me to bear.

In this age where even doing good deeds requires careful consideration for potential harm, who would dare to lend a helping hand without knowing the full situation, risking being ensnared in a carefully crafted trap by malicious individuals

"Alright, I'm fine."

Without saying two words to each other, the child toddled over to Lin Wan and ran up to her, hugging her tightly.

He Minmin chuckled, “Alright, there’s no need to see me off. The child truly can’t be away from you for a moment.” Someone uninformed would think Lin Wan was the biological mother.

Lin Wan's child squinted their almond-shaped eyes.

After sending He Minmin away, Lin Wan turned to pick up the child, "Baby, are you hungry Auntie will make egg custard for you, okay"

The baby hugged Lin Wan's neck, rubbing her face against Lin Wan's with a thin, yellowish face. Her unusually large eyes curved slightly.

Lin Wan's pity in her heart was even greater.

Speaking of babies, it's a kind of fate.

Facing graduation season, Lin Wan, like thousands of other graduating students, braves the scorching sun to throw herself into the job market, submitting resumes and attending interviews.

Guangdong Investment (GD) resumes were widely distributed, with interviews scheduled every morning and afternoon for several consecutive days.

Two days ago, I received a phone call to notify me of an interview at a company in the suburbs. Lin Wan is dizzy because she has submitted countless resumes and can't remember if she applied to that company.

I checked online and found that the company's environment was pretty good, so I tidied up, put on light makeup, dressed in professional attire, and went to the interview with my resume.

It doesn't matter if the location is a bit off, as long as the company is good.

I didn't expect it to be this bad. The place is so remote, and the company isn't any better. The online pictures of the company environment claimed to be from the headquarters, but they are from a branch office. Even then, how could a branch office be in such poor condition compared to the supposed headquarters of such a large company This might just be a small company that pretends to be bigger than it is.

Lin Wan followed the navigation for half a day and saw that it was dilapidated and deserted. There were no signs of people, so he didn't even go in and left directly.

To say nothing of the fact that it's so remote and deserted, how could a young child dare to commute alone every day

Lin Wan immediately walked back. As she passed a secluded alley in the village, she saw several men who clearly weren't good people seeming to be searching for something.

Several news stories about young children being brutally murdered in remote areas flashed through Lin Wan's mind. He instinctively clutched his resume, glancing left and right. Seeing that there were only one or two people passing by on electric bikes, he lowered his head and hurried across the street.

But those people just glanced around and continued to search for something.

As Lin Wan walked by, she heard a conversation coming from inside—

"Did you find it"

"No, where did the little bunny go"

"Keep looking, he can't run far!"

If we can't find it, none of us will get a penny...

"..."

Lin Wan clutched her heart and hurried out. Seeing the bustling commercial street in the largest village complex, she finally relaxed.

As the result was about to detour around a pile of trash, it inadvertently saw a pair of eyes belonging to a child hidden inside.

Lin Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she was almost startled out of her wits.

Then seeing the terror in those eyes, worse than fear, a choked cry caught in his throat.

Lin Wan thought of the conversation between those who were obviously not good people, and then looked at the child hiding. Her mind buzzed, and when she came to her senses, she was already holding the smelly child and quickly walked into a nearby clothing store. She changed the child's clothes and put on a matching little hat.

Lin Wan was holding the child and worried about how to leave. She happened to see a taxi parked not far from the shop, and a young man got out of the car and hurried out. He quickly walked to the taxi, opened the back door, and sat in.

Please go to the city center square, thank you.

"Okay."

As the car pulled away slowly, they saw the same men from before emerge from an alleyway, seeming to be searching for something.

Lin Wan's heart beat wildly, and she choked out in a strained voice, "Big brother, could you hurry up I'm pressed for time."

"I try my best to drive carefully, this street corner is pretty messy and cars can't go too fast."

Although the driver tried his best to speed up.

As soon as the car left the village and merged onto the highway, Lin Wan was drenched in sweat and trembling.

But seeing the child lying straight, motionless after its shaking had stopped, Lin Wan's heart swelled with boundless courage.

Lin Wan didn't go to the city center; she got off halfway and changed cars to go to the police station.

Lin Wan judged from those people's conversation that they were definitely human traffickers. This child had been abducted but somehow managed to escape.

Along the way, Lin Wan was still thinking, perhaps she misunderstood. Maybe this child is someone else's from that area What if those people weren't looking for this child at all

But when changing the child's clothes, Lin Wan saw bruises of blue and purple on his skin, clear signs of abuse. Lin Wan thought, even if it was just a possibility, she had to take the child out. Perhaps one action could change the child's tragic fate.
