Cheng You smiled indulgently, "It's okay, the police uncles won't arrest you. You're good children."
Little Huzhi lowered his head, "I'm not a good child, Grandma told me to cry."
"Your grandma?"
"Yes, Grandma said if the police uncles ask me, I'll cry, then they won't arrest me."
Cheng You chuckled, "But you didn't do anything wrong, why would the police uncles arrest you?"
"I did."
Little Huzhi hesitated for a long time at home before deciding to tell Cheng You.
He did it. He was a bad child.
Cheng You's expression turned serious, and she tried her best to control her tone, "Huzhi, do you know where Zhenzhen is?"
Little Huzhi shook his head and obediently said, "No, Grandma told me to ask her to go to the back mountain."
He didn't know what Grandma was going to do, but she told him to trick Zhenzhen into going to the back mountain.
He and Zhenzhen played well together, so Zhenzhen didn't suspect him at all.
This made him feel extremely guilty.
He asked his grandma, "Where did Zhenzhen go?"
Grandma stroked his head and said, "She's gone to enjoy herself. You're not allowed to tell anyone, or the police uncles will arrest you."
Little Huzhi felt scared, but he wanted to find Zhenzhen even more.
Cheng You's mind was in a mess, with no clue at all. Suddenly, she heard Qi Chengyan's strong voice, "Find someone, stop Song Yulian!"
"What?" Cheng Tianhua was startled.
Before he could react, Qi Chengyan and Cheng You had already strode out.
Cheng Tianhua scratched his head and hurriedly followed.
"Cheng You, you suspect Song Yulian did it? That's impossible, she..."
His voice abruptly stopped as he suddenly remembered that Song Yulian had indeed been acting somewhat unusually.
Qi Chengyan and Cheng You got on their bicycles and headed towards the village entrance.
Song Yulian was driving an ox cart, carrying a lot of things, and moving very slowly.
The two of them on their bicycles easily caught up to her.
Even without any evidence, Cheng You chose to unconditionally trust Qi Chengyan.
Their appearance made Song Yulian's face change drastically.
"Cheng You, your father and I are divorced, what else do you want?"
Almost instinctively, she placed her hand on the luggage behind her.
"What I want to do, don't you know? Song Yulian, where is Zhenzhen?"
"Are you crazy? How would I know where that brat is!"
Qi Chengyan took a step forward. Before he could make any move, he saw Song Yulian lean over the luggage behind her and shout.
"Assault! In broad daylight, how dare you do such a thing! Help! Help!"
Cheng You was amused by her shamelessness and forcefully pried her hand open, trying to pull her off the ox cart.
"If I get my hands on you myself, does that still count as assault?"
Song Yulian acted like a lunatic, refusing to get down, clinging to the luggage behind her.
"This is robbery, it's against the law! I'll report you to the police station!"
In the chaos, Song Yulian's nails left several bloody scratches on Cheng You's face.
Qi Chengyan's eyes turned icy. He grabbed Song Yulian's wrist, the veins on his hand bulging, and squeezed hard.
Song Yulian screamed, feeling like her bones were about to crack.
Seeing that Qi Chengyan had made a move, she started shouting obscenities again.
Cheng You didn't have time to deal with her and directly unloaded her luggage.
When she picked up one of the bags, she could still feel its warmth.
"Chengyan..." She was about to call out to him when she was interrupted by a voice.
"Brother Yan, it seems the punishment from the army didn't teach you a lesson. You still dare to lay hands on a woman!"
Qi Chengyan loosened his grip, and Song Yulian, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, hid behind the newcomer.
Cheng You looked over. An old man and a young man, complete strangers, whom she didn't recognize.
The young man said softly to Song Yulian, "Don't worry, with us here, everything will be alright."
Song Yulian trembled, "They want to rob me!"
The old man reprimanded angrily, "In broad daylight, you openly commit robbery. What do you take the law for!"
Cheng You was focused on untying the rope on the bag, which was tied tightly and securely, making it impossible to open.
"Chengyan, I can't open it."
Qi Chengyan walked over silently and produced a short knife from somewhere.
The old man quickly stepped forward, "This is someone else's property, how can you open it so casually!"
Cheng You ignored him and took the short knife to cut the rope.
The old man was stubborn and insisted on stopping Cheng You.
Fearing she might hurt someone, Cheng You tried several times but couldn't cut the rope.
"This is her property, but do you know what's inside? She's a human trafficker, she kidnapped children from our village!"
The old man's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly looked at Song Yulian.
Song Yulian quickly explained, "That's not true! I'm her stepmother, she's always disliked me and made things difficult for me. Now that she's divorced her father, she just wants to rob my money!"
Compared to Cheng You, this old man and young man clearly believed Song Yulian more.
After all, what they saw initially was Cheng You and Qi Chengyan bullying someone.
"You're not allowed to touch it, wait for the police to decide!"
Cheng You sneered, "If we wait for the police, the child will suffocate. Will you be responsible?"
"Then how do I know what you're saying is the truth..."
Before the old man could finish speaking, he saw Cheng You cut the rope in front of him.
The bag opened, revealing Zhenzhen's face, flushed red from being suffocated.
Her breathing was steady, but she was still unconscious.
Qi Chengyan squatted down, wiped the powder from her lips, and ground it with his fingertip.
"She was drugged."
Seeing that her scheme was exposed, Song Yulian tried to run away.
After only a few steps, her knee was hit by something, and she let out a muffled groan, falling to the ground.
Cheng You picked up Zhenzhen, "Chengyan, take her back, don't let her escape!"
Song Yulian must have colluded with someone from the Wen family to try and take Zhenzhen away.
Qi Chengyan strode over, and seeing Song Yulian still struggling, he stepped on her knee and pressed down.
Song Yulian let out a painful roar, feeling like her knee was about to shatter.
The old man's heart softened, unable to bear the sight.
"She can't run anymore, let it go."
Cheng You, who had walked a few steps, turned back to look at him.
"It's not your child being kidnapped, so you're talking without standing in my shoes."
Cheng You's sarcasm made the old man's face slightly embarrassed.
He had almost done more harm than good.
But he was just a passerby who couldn't stand injustice. Who would have thought this person was actually a kidnapper.
Qi Chengyan released his foot, suddenly abandoned Song Yulian, and followed Cheng You, pushing his bicycle.
Given Song Yulian's condition, she couldn't even crawl, let alone run.
After bringing Zhenzhen back to the village, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon hearing that Song Yulian was responsible, everyone looked at Cheng Tianhua.
Cheng Tianhua quickly distanced himself, "She and I are divorced, I don't know about these things she's done. It has nothing to do with me!"
He even felt fortunate that he had divorced Song Yulian.
Otherwise, he would have been dragged down by her.
Uncle Li examined Zhenzhen, "She was just drugged. She'll be fine after a night's sleep."
Song Yulian didn't intend to harm Zhenzhen, she probably just reached a deal with certain people.
