CHAPTER 656: CHAPTER 631 RESCUE

Bai Yiyi tightly held Tang Yuan and Baozi in her arms.

Everything around had come to an end.

What had just happened seemed like a dream.

Sister Hua seized the moment Bai Yiyi relaxed to launch a desperate counterattack, just when two men initiated their assault.

Like a whirlwind, everyone in the room collapsed.

Then, five minutes later, the police arrived with reinforcements.

The two men quietly slipped away into the darkness.

Their task was completed as Bai Yiyi and the children were rescued.

No matter how the police asked, they couldn’t find out who had saved the children.

The children below were too young, mumbling indistinctly and unable to explain clearly.

Bai Yiyi, being the eldest, couldn’t provide more than the fact that someone rescued them, and knew nothing else.

In the end, the police had to conclude that someone had acted heroically.

Bai Yiyi and the others reached the police station.

Tang Yuan and Baozi refused to be separated from Bai Yiyi.

The police contacted their families.

They managed to reach Jiang Xiaoxiao, who informed Song Moting, the guardian, who arrived quickly.

Jiang Xiaoxiao finally relaxed at Fan Xiuying’s place.

As long as the children were found, all was well.

But when it came time to pick them up, Song Moting met Bai Yiyi’s second uncle, Bai Jiefang.

Bai Jiefang and Cui Fen also arrived.

The couple had been waiting at the village’s long-distance bus stop since the phone call from Jiang Xiaoxiao.

They waited from early morning until nightfall, but the bus didn’t come, leaving them anxious.

Later, Bai Jiefang called Jiang Xiaoxiao and found out that the children were at the police station, so they hurriedly arranged for the village’s tractor to take them to the town. They arrived at the police station just as Song Moting arrived.

Song Moting, thinking ahead, called Jiang Xiaoxiao upon arrival.

Song Moting figured going to the station would be futile.

Bai Yiyi and the others must have already alighted by this time.

Thus, upon reaching the town, they made a call ahead, fearing the two families might miss each other and further delay the children.

Upon hearing about Bai Yiyi’s encounter with human traffickers, Song Moting and the others were worried.

This kind of thing is dreaded, yet it happened.

Truly fearing what has come.

When they saw Bai Jiefang and Cui Fen, the couple’s faces turned pale with fear.

Bai Jiefang hit Bai Yiyi with a slap the moment he saw her.

That slap was really harsh.

Bai Yiyi instantly cried from being hit.

Song Moting hurriedly shielded Bai Yiyi.

"Big brother, what are you doing? Yiyi is still a child."

Song Moting, like Jiang Xiaoxiao, sees Bai Yiyi as a sister.

Seeing Bai Yiyi’s face swollen from the slap, Bai Jiefang felt remorseful and slapped himself.

"It’s all my fault, why was I so talkative? I should’ve discussed this matter with you two, not with Yiyi first. She’s just a child, how can she think things through? How can I be so foolish?

Even though Yiyi usually acts like a little adult, I shouldn’t really treat her like an adult."

It’s understandable why Bai Jiefang felt upset; though he isn’t Bai Yiyi’s biological parent, he’s been in touch with her for years.

Every month or so, he’d write to the child to learn about her situation, even though the family couldn’t visit her in the Capital City. From photos and letters, they knew Bai Yiyi was doing well.

The couple, despite their struggles, never thought of taking advantage of Bai Yiyi.

They only hoped the child would live well, but now that she’s back.

Why didn’t she inform the adults, and even took the family’s two children with her?

If they were really abducted, how could they face Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting?

This couple took care of Bai Yiyi like a sister.

Just look at Bai Yiyi now, her clothes, her stature; three years without seeing her, she’s grown a lot, now reaching Bai Jiefang’s shoulder.

Just seeing how well the couple raised her.

If something happened to Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting’s child, the couple would feel their guilt couldn’t be atoned even in death.

Song Moting quickly intervened.

"Big brother, don’t be like this. This was unexpected, no one did it deliberately. The children’s safety matters more than anything now, don’t hit or scare them. This isn’t your fault.

If anything, blame us for not looking after them better, for not noticing in time. Our care wasn’t enough, otherwise, things wouldn’t have turned out this way."

Bai Yiyi apologized with reddened eyes.

"Brother-in-law, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have secretly run away alone. I really didn’t expect Tang Yuan and Baozi would follow me on the train."

Bai Yiyi used to think she was very smart; she was an excellent student, particularly resourceful.

She could even recite Jiang Xiaoxiao’s medical school books backward.

Bai Yiyi thought of herself as capable, clever, learning quickly, even better than an adult. But after today, she realized she was just a frog in a well.

The world is so big, there’s still much she hasn’t seen or understood.

If it weren’t for her carelessness, she wouldn’t have encountered traffickers; if she didn’t act independently, thinking she was smart.

Today’s situation might have been avoided if Baozi and Tang Yuan hadn’t followed her, if those mysterious men hadn’t saved them.

Who knows what might’ve happened?

Each time she recalled the feeling of her blade cutting into someone’s neck, Bai Yiyi would tremble all over, feeling cold inside.

This was completely different from cutting pork.

Song Moting remained stern, though he didn’t scold Bai Yiyi, he was very serious.

"You’re the guardians of these three children, right! Then let’s make a record, naturally, there’s registering your documents too. The children cannot be taken away. You’ll need to go back to your local neighborhood committee or police station to obtain proof of your relationship.

Of course, such proof must contain photos of the three children to verify your kinship. Only then can you take the children away, and for now, they’ll be temporarily under the care of our local welfare agency."

In these times, there was no DNA verification technology to prove the relationship between children and adults, only various letters and certificates.

Despite Song Moting’s attempts, they couldn’t take the children without the necessary proof, so the three left Jiang Lei to keep watch.

Song Moting and Qin Ming drove back to handle the paperwork.

The silver lining was that Bai Jiefang had returned to the village to get proof, allowing Bai Yiyi to be taken away first.
