Chapter 48 Pei Nanxing truly believed that this was his daughter.
Upon hearing this, the woman slowly straightened up, and then, with light steps, walked gracefully and slowly toward Niannian.
Each step she took seemed to carry a mysterious rhythm, drawing everyone's attention to her.
When the woman finally came to Niannian, she slowly squatted down, her movements as gentle as a breeze, and gently stroked Niannian's pink and lovely face.
Her eyes were full of warmth and smiles, like the shimmering ripples on a lake under the warm spring sun.
She parted her lips slightly and said in an extremely gentle voice, "Who am I? That's a secret. I'll tell you when the time is right, my dear little Niannian!"
As she spoke, she reached out her finger and gently pinched Nian Nian's round, apple-like cheek.
However, Niannian was not having it. She frowned, gently pushed the woman's hand away, and cautiously took a small step back with Fu Tong beside her.
She pouted and asked, "How do you know my name and Tongtong's name?"
That's so strange!
Everything that happened today had a strange feel to it. First, my aunt inexplicably sent them to this strange place, and now this strange aunt has arrived...
Niannian's series of adorable little actions successfully amused the woman.
Then she let out a clear and cheerful laugh: "Hahaha, don't be nervous, little darlings."
Police officer, your dad, and grandpa will be here soon, so I'm off!
Before she finished speaking, the woman raised her hand and gently rubbed Niannian's head as if she were lovingly taking care of her own child.
Immediately afterwards, she darted over the wall and left the scene in the blink of an eye, her movements swift and decisive.
Niannian stood there blankly, tilting her head and staring in the direction the woman had disappeared, muttering to herself, "Oh dear, that auntie is really strange..."
Just then, Fu Tong, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't contain her inner doubts and began to rant wildly:
"Niannian, can you put your hand down now?"
Honestly, Niannian covered her face with her hand for a long time, so she didn't even see who was speaking.
"Oh dear, oh dear, I'm sorry, I forgot!" Niannian said, then withdrew her little hand.
Just then, the piercing sound of police sirens rang out from outside the courtyard:
“V5～V5～V5～V5～V5～V5～V5～V5～”
“V5～V5～V5～V5～V5～V5～V5～V5～”
At the same time, the heavy wooden planks of the courtyard gate, which had been tightly closed, were broken open instantly by the police's powerful impact, making a dull thud.
"boom"
Jian Xiaohan and Old Master Fu looked up at almost the same time, their eyes eagerly darting towards the courtyard.
In that instant, they spotted two small figures standing alone in the very center of the crowd.
Jian Xiaohan's heart tightened suddenly, and he rushed towards his precious daughter as if the wind had sprung up on his feet.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Niannian, and without hesitation, he stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly.
He kept repeating, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Daddy's here, Daddy's here..." His voice was full of anxiety and concern.
If someone hadn't called the police in time, and the police hadn't quickly contacted him, he probably still wouldn't know that his precious Niannian had been taken to such a dangerous place.
"Cough cough... Daddy, you're choking me to death!" Niannian's clear and childish voice suddenly rang out, carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and protest.
Upon hearing this, Jian Xiaohan seemed to wake from a dream and released his hands, but his eyes remained firmly fixed on his daughter, as if afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Grandpa Fu had also completed his initial examination of Fu Tong. After confirming that his granddaughter was alright, his anxious heart finally settled down a little.
However, he couldn't help but look at Niannian carefully again, and asked in a gentle tone, "Niannian, are you alright? Don't be scared!"
His words were filled with deep love and concern.
When asked by her grandfather, Niannian mischievously shook her head and replied in a childish voice, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not afraid!"
That innocent and naive look was so endearing that it made people smile.
Actually, she was a little scared at first, but the jade pendant that Brother Yun Jing gave her was warm, and a continuous stream of courage inexplicably surged through her body.
At the same moment, the children, their faces haggard, were finally rescued from those stainless steel cages.
They stared at the unfamiliar yet familiar police officers around them, their eyes revealing the joy of surviving a disaster.
Wen Wan, being implicated in the matter, was taken away by the police for further investigation and questioning.
As the investigation deepened, the truth gradually came to light, shocking everyone.
It turns out that this seemingly solemn and dignified temple, under the guise of worshipping gods, was secretly engaged in the heinous crime of child trafficking.
Some powerful and influential people are destined to be childless and yearn to have their own bloodline; others believe that their luck is bad and hope to change their fate with the help of external forces.
So they flocked to this temple, spending exorbitant sums to buy a child, hoping to defy fate through the child's so-called "fortune".
However, these innocent, pitiful children were trafficked from all over the country and forced to separate from their families.
Let's talk about the so-called "master" in the temple. The amulet he gave Wenwan, which was supposed to protect her, was not a real talisman at all.
In reality, it was just an ordinary piece of yellow paper wrapped around a little bit of soothing incense powder.
If you carry this item with you, you may initially feel drowsy and sleepy, but over time, you will become increasingly dull and senile.
This is one of the main reasons why superstitions repeatedly succeed and deceive countless people...
As for the claim that Niannian's luck was changed, that's pure nonsense.
In reality, they simply put Niannian in a stone chamber to lie down for a while, and then they could easily swindle a large sum of money from the victim's family.
……
However, Niannian still hasn't figured out who that auntie is. After all the hassle of the hospital check-up, they finally returned to the Fu family home in the evening.
Niannian patted her full tummy, came to the bronze mirror, and called out in her childish voice:
"Brother Yun Jing, Brother Yun Jing..."
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the scene reflected in the bronze mirror: the oil lamp inside the tent was dim, and Pei Yunjing was sitting face to face with a man playing chess, and that man looked very much like the uncle in her mother's photo!
At this moment, Pei Nanxing put down the chess piece in his hand, heard the calling voice coming from the bronze mirror, and looked up.
He got a good look at Niannian in the bronze mirror, and her little face was just like a miniature version of Fu Mingyue!
Besides, those eyebrows, that small nose...
Pei Nanxing firmly believed that Nian Nian was very likely his daughter, his little moon! "Raise your little hands and cast your vote for this must-read!!"
