A wealthy family recognizes my relatives? But I am already a billionaire.

Chapter 180: Warm Welcome

The police take the case of human trafficking very seriously.

Zhao Zhaodi thought that her mother had been at home all these years and did not travel all over the country like human traffickers, so she thought her mother was just an ordinary person, not a kidnapper.

In the police interrogation room, Li Cuiyun initially refused to admit it.

But Xu Youyou asked Zhao Zhaodi a few more questions.

"Mom... Aunt Li's habit? She's very superstitious and believes in pig, cow and sheep religion. Every first and fifteenth day of the month, she goes to the temple to burn incense. Sometimes she lets me go with her, but she won't let my brother go."

"Friends? She has no friends. Her adoptive father... Uncle Zhao and she aren't from the village, so they don't have any relatives locally. I vaguely remember running around with her when I was little. My adoptive father died in a car accident when I was five."

"She rarely does odd jobs, and our family isn't short of money. She said the money was compensation for my adoptive father's car accident, and she wanted to save it, so she didn't let me go to high school..."

Xu Youyou told the police everything Zhao Zhaodi knew.

Not long after the police obtained these clues and changed the direction of the interrogation, Li Cuiyun's psychological defenses collapsed.

"Li Cuiyun wants to see the victim." The police conveyed Li Cuiyun's thoughts to Xu Youyou and Zhao Zhaodi.

Zhao Zhaodi looked hesitant when she heard this.

Xu Youyou rejected it directly on her behalf: "I don't think it's a good idea for them to meet. Zhaodi has suffered a lot under Li Cuiyun over the years. Not only does she do the work of the whole family alone, but Li Cuiyun often beats and scolds her if she's not satisfied. Now she wants to see Zhaodi, probably for her son."

Zhao Zhaodi's eyes darkened. Even though Li Cuiyun was not nice to her, for more than ten years, she really thought that Li Cuiyun was her biological mother.

The police officer nodded helplessly: "She did want her daughter to take better care of her brother. We criticized and educated her, but she was extremely persistent."

Xu Youyou asked, "If a normal criminal wants to see the victim, would you agree?"

The police did not agree with Li Cuiyun's idea at first, but they conveyed it because of their duty. Now after hearing such an answer, they had no objection and turned to talk to them about what they were most concerned about, which was Zhao Zhaodi's life experience.

"When Li Cuiyun and her husband were young, they were part of a kidnapping gang. Because they couldn't have children of their own, they prayed to gods and Buddhas everywhere. A small sect, the Pig, Cow and Sheep Sect, which she now strongly believes in, told her that their deeds had damaged their virtue, and that was why they couldn't have children."

"Li Cuiyun and her husband were desperate to have a child. Following the advice of this small sect, they decided to adopt a child first and let the adopted child lead the way for their biological child."

"They immediately fell in love with Zhao Zhaodi, who had just been abducted by a human trafficking gang. They thought the little girl was as pretty as a New Year's picture doll and would definitely be a beauty when she grew up. Whether she was given as a child bride to their own son or married off to receive a betrothal gift, it would be very cost-effective."

"The couple took advantage of the gang's inattention, stole some of the money, and took Zhao Zhaodi to the village where they live now, where they settled down."

"According to Li Cuiyun's account, the human traffickers kidnapped her from a shopping mall in downtown Suzhou. She couldn't specify which mall or when."

"The child didn't have any obvious jewelry on her at the time and was wearing a small dress. She looked like she came from a well-off family. We've contacted the Suzhou police about the specific circumstances, and there are currently several families that meet the requirements."

Zhao Zhaodi suddenly clenched her hands and her nose felt sore. For some reason, when she heard the word "Gusu", she felt like crying.

Xu Youyou patted her shoulder comfortingly, and then took the little girl into her arms: "Don't worry, now we have a direction, we will definitely find your biological parents."

However, Lu Jingyao, who was standing aside, looked at Zhao Zhaodi with a sudden thoughtful look.

"The little girl's face looks familiar." Lu Jingyao said.

Xu Youyou immediately looked at him expectantly.

Lu Jingyao and Xu Youyou came to Luoyang together. He did have some official business to deal with and was busy for several days. Only then did he have time to meet Xu Youyou. It was also the first time he met Zhao Zhaodi.

Lu Jingyao thought for a moment, took out his phone, tapped a few times, and then played a piece of Pingtan music: "Blue bricks and tile paint..."

A dazed look suddenly appeared on Zhao Zhaodi's face, as if long-forgotten memories were suddenly awakened.

"It seems that a child is missing from my grandmother's relative's family, but I can't remember whether it is a boy or a girl." Lu Jingyao said.

Xu Youyou immediately said, "If he is really a relative of your grandmother's, then his family is indeed well-off. In the future, Zhaodi will have no worries about food and clothing, and she won't have to worry about not having enough education."

Lu Jingyao didn't elaborate on the specific situation of the distant relative, and casually said, "If that's the case, little girl, you have to call me cousin from now on."

Xu Youyou laughed and said, "It just so happens that the next audition will be in Gusu, which will make it convenient for Zhaodi to find her relatives."

Zhao Zhaodi was delighted when she heard this, but then she felt homesick again.

Half an hour later, Lu Jingyao came over and said, "My distant relative is organizing the search for relatives in Gusu now. I just spoke to her on the phone, and the Gusu police have already told her about this. Although they can't confirm who Xiao Zhao's child is, they have organized an airport pick-up."

Zhao Zhaodi immediately showed a look of fear: "What if I'm no one's child..."

Lu Jingyao quickly said, "Don't feel pressured. They will try their best to organize a pick-up and drop-off for every child who arrives in Gusu. Although this is time-consuming and laborious, they hope to gain recognition from the lost children through this action, and also hope to gain some comfort from it."

Just hearing him say that, Zhao Zhaodi felt like crying.

That night, Xu Youyou and her group parted ways with Lu Jingyao at Luoyang Airport.

Lu Jingyao was busy with official duties and could not continue to accompany Xu Youyou to Gusu this time.

Two hours later, Xu Youyou and his group arrived in Suzhou.

"Nannan? Are you my daughter?"

"Is it my baby?"

Four people, two couples, were sent to the airport to pick up the children. The children in the photos in the hands of these four people were all two years old. They looked like a cute white ball. It was obvious that the parents cherished the lost child very much.

At this time, the four parents looked at Zhao Zhaodi with eager and expectant eyes, staring at the little girl's face seriously, examining her inch by inch, as if they wanted to find similarities between her face and the child in the photo in their hands.

Zhao Zhaodi was about two years old when she came into Li Cuiyun's hands, but Li Cuiyun was very cautious and had no photos of Zhao Zhaodi before she was six years old, so it was not convenient to compare them with the photos in the hands of these people.

Zhao Zhaodi had never been surrounded by such strong family affection, and she was a little at a loss for a moment.

Finally, Xu Fang stepped in and said, "We understand how you feel, but the child has never seen such a scene before. Don't scare her."
