The young man was, of course, Gazi. What he meant by "don't talk about it casually" was not to completely forbid them from discussing it. If something similar happened again, like a child being abducted, they could certainly exchange information.
So, it really was just a matter of not spreading it around carelessly. It would be bad if all this supernatural nonsense spread too widely and caused a strong public reaction.
The man was about to keep asking questions when his phone rang. The caller was a police officer from his mother's district.
"Is this Wang Zhiqi? San Chuan said they caught a group of child traffickers early this morning. One of the children may be your son. I'll give you their contact information so you can communicate first."
Ordinarily, someone rescued at four in the morning could not possibly have their family notified so quickly. The Police Bureau would first suppress the news and see whether they could expand the operation—if any fugitives escaped, they would remain a danger.
But Yang Yuxin's call carried too much weight. The Police Bureau was worried that one of the children might have some powerful background, so they contacted the children's families first. It was never wrong to deliver good news early.
Xiao Qi was only two years and nine months old, but he roughly knew his home address and his parents' names.
Once the two sides got in touch and checked over video, the child's identity was confirmed in an instant.
The couple was ecstatic. They packed up and rushed outside, but before leaving, the man cautiously turned back, lit an incense stick, and kowtowed heavily nine times. "Thank you, Bodhisattva, for your blessing. Once we've settled the child down, we'll definitely come back to fulfill our vow."
