CHAPTER 745: CHAPTER 720: INCOMPETENCE

Jiang Xiaoxiao patted the children as Song Moting returned after more than a month away.

He was travel-worn, his face reflecting the passage of time.

She never asked Song Moting, but she knew what he was doing. This incident with the missing children woke them both up to reality.

No matter how flawless and seamless Fang Xiaohui’s execution was, Jiang Xiaoxiao suspected that she might not be so innocent in all this.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had been pondering how to deal with Fang Xiaohui lately.

Song Moting entered to see a harmonious and warm scene of his wife and two daughters.

"Where are Tang Yuan and Baozi?"

In the past, Song Moting felt a twinge of concern knowing that Baozi was not really his child.

Emotionally, there was always some reservation.

He sometimes couldn’t understand why Jiang Xiaoxiao showed such love for someone else’s child. Although he knew she was kind-hearted, kindness should have its limits.

Bai Yiyi was one thing, but now there was Baozi too.

Jiang Xiaoxiao treated them equally, without showing special favoritism.

Song Moting didn’t understand, but he tolerated this aspect of his wife simply because he wouldn’t refuse what Jiang Xiaoxiao wanted to do.

Raising two children was affordable for him.

But now, in his heart, he already considered Baozi his own child, treating him like his son.

He was extremely grateful for Jiang Xiaoxiao’s broad-mindedness, which had welcomed this child and, in turn, motivated Baozi to protect Tang Yuan with all his might.

The two children had strayed into the village, and if it weren’t for Baozi’s efforts, the outcome might have been unpredictable.

Seeing the disabled children in the village, Song Moting felt profoundly saddened; he couldn’t imagine the rage he’d experience if his own children met such a fate.

That so-called father of Gou Dan had already been crippled by him.

That man was unworthy of being a father. He didn’t break the man’s legs for his son’s sake.

It was because the man had brutally broken his own daughter’s legs after Tang Yuan’s escape—such a person is unfit to be a father!

With his anger unspoken, Song Moting privately instructed people to execute that man.

Otherwise, those girls and the woman oppressed in his family would continue living a life on edge.

The young girl was undergoing treatment and would live like a normal child in the future.

Despite staying clean with no trace, Song Moting knew the severity of this act could leave behind consequences.

People might suspect him because the ties between that man’s actions and their family were undeniable.

The only one with a grudge against that man was Song Moting and his family.

A person disappearing suddenly is no small matter.

But Song Moting didn’t care, not after such an ordeal had unfolded.

That man undeniably deserved to die.

Looking at the bruised family of girls and the oppressed woman, where a man ruled tyrannically instead of ensuring a good life for his wife and child, but simply wielded his fists at home.

Such men were held in the least regard by Song Moting.

Luckily Baozi had taken Tang Yuan with him to escape; otherwise, who could predict Tang Yuan’s fate in that household?

If today that man could break his daughter’s legs, it was easy to imagine Tang Yuan’s future under his roof.

Song Moting acted decisively because he had learned this man had bought Tang Yuan, and this wasn’t the first child he’d purchased.

Previously, he had bought a boy much younger than Tang Yuan, with less luck too—barely over one year old, utterly oblivious and unwitting.

For sneaking a family hen’s egg due to hunger, this man had beaten the child to death.

His cruelty was unimaginable.

He treated other people’s children as worthless, rather than as his own, which was somewhat forgivable if he raised them as his son.

But to treat someone else’s child as worthless and with malice.

Such individuals are unworthy of being human.

Song Moting couldn’t stand it, and his subordinates knew all too well what their captain intended. Letting such a man live, it wouldn’t stop him from repeating his acts.

Such is the darkness of humanity.

He had already committed these acts before, wouldn’t hesitate to do so again, leading to more unfortunate children.

Thus, Gou Dan’s father disappeared, and there wouldn’t be anymore Gou Dan ones or twos.

"The two children are already asleep."

When they returned, she had prepared to counsel them, but to her surprise, the children recovered faster than she had anticipated.

Through this ordeal, Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly discovered her two sons were growing up too fast.

Especially Tang Yuan; after returning, there was no more complaining during exercises, he even autonomously started learning many skills from his father.

Previously, Tang Yuan and Baozi, somewhat pampered at home, would be picky eaters, rejecting this or that. But since their return, they no longer fuss over any food.

A genuine hunger within them seemed endless; they could eat at any time, under any conditions.

More importantly, the children who were once chubby now had lost their baby fat over these months, revealing strong physiques with only muscles left.

Though Jiang Xiaoxiao wasn’t convinced life outdoors could have been too good, these children somehow grew taller and much stronger.

Most surprisingly, their speed and strength progressed significantly compared to before.

As Song Moting said, they had gained a special teacher over these months: a black wolf, taking them through the forest, hunting prey.

It had trained these children to be so competent.

Speaking of her children, Jiang Xiaoxiao’s heart ached.

"The children told me they’ve decided to become police officers or soldiers in the future, saying justice needs protectors, that they can’t study medicine like Aunt Bai Yiyi to become healers, but they can be messengers of justice.

Protecting the weak and catching the bad guys. Upholding world order and peace."

She didn’t think the children were joking because their resolute eyes convinced Jiang Xiaoxiao.

This experience left an indelible mark on them, and they pledged to genuinely protect the weak as they once were.

"Don’t worry about the children! They’ll be fine, becoming a cop is great; men should do what men are meant to do. Brother Yong has escaped. This time, Brother Yong was bold enough to deal with human organ trafficking; they dare do such things.

Who gave them such courage?"

Thinking of this distressed Song Moting.

He felt powerless.
