CHAPTER 1030: 214 ACHIEVING LITTLE, RUINING MUCH_8

"I... I’ll talk, I’ll say everything...."

——

Yun Ya, without showing any emotion, extracted quite a lot of information from this little girl. The siblings were raised single-handedly by their mother, the three of them depending on each other. But just a year ago, their mother passed away due to illness, leaving them alone and without support. They were then sent to an orphanage by a neighbor. Their days in the orphanage were not easy, but under her brother’s protection, she still maintained her childish innocence.

Until one day, they were adopted and then ended up in a dark organization. From then on, the siblings lived a life of extreme misery.

This little girl didn’t know much, possibly because her brother protected her too well.

"They make us swallow some disgusting stuff. If we don’t, they beat us and starve us. I was supposed to swallow it too, but my brother said he would do it for me, and those people let me off. But after swallowing that stuff, my brother would go on long trips with those people, unable to eat for a very long time..." The girl started crying mid-sentence.

Yun Ya squinted his eyes slightly.

Ah Yun asked bewilderedly, "What is that stuff they made you swallow?"

"Drug trafficking. They’re a gang of drug dealers who use these kids to transport drugs. Children are the least suspecting." Yun Ya said, lightly.

Ah Yun was stunned for a moment, then said indignantly, "Exploiting such young children is utterly inhumane, they’re beasts." Ah Yun was red-faced with anger.

Yun Ya looked at the little girl covered in tears, smiling as he reached out to wipe the tears off her face, "Don’t cry, your brother will be alright."

The girl instinctively nestled into Yun Ya’s arms, taking a deep breath, "Sister, you smell so lovely, like Mommy’s scent...."

Yun Ya gently stroked the girl’s hair, with tenderness and affection gracing the smile on her lips.

Ah Yun gazed at the young lady, only to feel that this moment she was gleaming with a sacred aura, so beautiful that one couldn’t look away.

"Although you have lost your mother, you are lucky to have a brother who loves you dearly." Yun Ya’s voice carried a hint of sadness. She thought of Miaomiao, her own brother, wondering where he was now, how he was living, whether he was suffering any grievances?

The little girl raised her head from her embrace, with big, clear eyes that could soften one’s heart.

"Sister, you can call me Ah Zhen, that’s what Mommy used to call me."

Yun Ya smiled warmly, "Ah Zhen."

The girl beamed brightly, "Sister, if we find my brother, can he and I stay with you?" After speaking, she looked at Yun Ya with a bit of anticipation and nervousness.

Such an expression is really hard to refuse.

This is a smart child, knowing that the person in front of her could lead her away from her suffering. If she holds on tightly, she and her brother could escape such a dark existence.

Ah Yun’s heart ached for this child’s plight, but she recalled that the young lady was heading to Capital City this time, where a tough battle awaited. Two extra burdens, what would they be worth?

Yun Ya smiled softly, lifting her hand to tuck the loose hair behind the girl’s ears, whispering, "You said, if someone is kind to you, it’s because you hold some value for them."

The girl’s clear eyes widened, "Do I have any value that sister needs?"

Yun Ya sighed at the child’s cleverness, and also felt a bit sad for such a young child questioning her own value. But she was right, there’s no free lunch in this world. Any kindness she flaunted needed to bring her actual benefit. Look, she’s such a realistic person.

Those laughable kindnesses, she never needed.

"Ah Zhen is a good child."

Ah Zhen smiled sweetly.

At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, a tall figure walked in, carrying an icy chill like the wind and snow of midwinter, rushing towards them.

Ah Zhen instinctively shrank into Yun Ya’s embrace.

Ah Yun lowered her head and quietly withdrew.

"Well? Have they been found?" Yun Ya looked at the newcomer and asked.
