Although the little girl Xia Zhiyi was holding looked thin and frail, with hardly any flesh on her body, and appeared pitifully malnourished, she was very different from the flamboyant and bright woman he had seen through Xia Wanyi.
However, Xia Zhiyi people by their appearance alone. She immediately recognized that the person in her hand was most likely Song Zhen, the vicious female supporting character who would cause a lot of trouble for the male and female leads in the future.
However, based on the information Xia Zhiyi knew, Song Zhen was a well-known wealthy heiress in the circle, wasn't she?
The difference between her and this pitiful-looking little girl is too great.
What Xia Zhiyi even more was that the little girl did not react at all when he called her name.
She didn't react to the name Song Zhen.
It's as if she doesn't have this name now.
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
The driver asked in a low voice, " Mr. Xia, do you know this person?"
Xia Zhiyi was speechless for a moment, unsure of what to say.
He doesn't know him.
The other person didn't know him either.
In his previous life, when the other person was active in the public eye, he had already died, and the two had no connection whatsoever, let alone now.
Just then, a woman's voice, which sounded harsh, rang out from the side. "Oh dear, Chunxiang, my good daughter, what happened to you? Did you get hit by a car?"
Xia Zhiyi turned her head and saw a woman with a mean face running over, reaching out to snatch the person from Xia Zhiyi's hands, but Xia Zhiyi dodged her.
Xia Zhiyi asked, "Who are you?"
At the same time, he was thinking to himself, "Mom? Is this Song Zhen's mother? But the two look nothing alike..."
However, at the same time, the little girl Xia Zhiyi was carrying finally showed some reaction.
Instead of joining up with the other party, he shuddered and struggled... to hide behind Xia Zhiyi.
Xia Zhiyi:?
He felt very strange.
Xia Zhiyi looked at the man in front of her, who was already grabbing the driver and yelling for compensation, with a scrutinizing gaze. Several thoughts flashed through her mind.
Just then, another car, a little slower than theirs, arrived. Fu Yunyi, wearing a hat and sunglasses, got out and jogged over to Xia Zhiyi, asking, "What's wrong?"
Xia Zhiyi pursed her lips, released the little girl, and after realizing that she was indeed avoiding that woman, she didn't answer Fu Yunyi's question, but instead asked the little girl, "She said she's your mother, is that true?"
The little girl seemed surprised by his question. She looked up, and her thin face was no longer as blank as before; her eyes held a hint of... surprise.
Then, Xia Zhiyi heard the little girl ask in a very hoarse voice, "Why... why would you ask that?"
Xia Zhiyi: "You don't look like it."
Neither the frail-looking girl now, nor the bright and cheerful girl from my memory, bears the slightest resemblance to the mean-spirited woman before me.
The little girl remained silent for a long time.
Fu Yunyi: "No, what happened? You... ran into human traffickers?"
Fu Yunyi swore he was just saying it offhand, after all, Xia Zhiyi's question was rather strange, wasn't it?
But to his surprise, as soon as he said that, the little girl turned to look at him, then glanced at the vehicle they were in, and surprisingly nodded.
Fu Yunyi: "What do you mean?"
Xia Zhiyi pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes. "Call the police."
Gu Zhiyuan, who was a step behind, asked, "Huh?"
Then the group... actually called the police.
Fu Yunyi:...
I don't understand.
But I was deeply shocked.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Xia Zhiyi sat on the bed in the small hotel, resting her chin on her hand, lost in thought.
The door creaked open, and Fu Yunyi and Gu Zhiyuan entered one after the other, both with somewhat complicated expressions.
Xia Zhiyi looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Fu Yunyi: "Well, I don't know whether to be surprised that there's such a small hotel in this place, or surprised that there's only such a small hotel in this place."
They couldn't leave.
After the police were called and a lot of chaos ensued, the final conclusion was that the little girl, who was suspected of being a future villain, had indeed been abducted.
The nature of the situation suddenly changed, and Xia Zhiyi, out of some strange psychology, chose to stay and help people to the end.
He planned to stay behind by himself. Although he was a teenager who had just come of age, Xia Zhiyi how long he had lived and that he was capable of handling certain matters.
I don't feel scared being alone in a foreign place.
To Xia Zhiyi's surprise, although Fu Chi could not stay here for long due to personal reasons, he still insisted on leaving his nephew to keep Xia Zhiyi.
Judging from his words and actions, Xia Zhiyi suspected that Fu Chi would have stayed if he hadn't been so busy with his work that he couldn't postpone it, just to spend more time with her.
As for Fu Yunyi...
Fu Yunyi also has a lot of work to do, but compared to Fu Chi, Fu Yunyi has more freedom.
So after contacting Xu Chen, Fu Yunyi stayed, and Gu Zhiyuan, who was also curious about what would happen next, stayed as well.
The three are currently staying at the only small hotel in town, and they will go to the only police station in town early tomorrow morning to continue dealing with the aftermath.
The little girl who was given the name Chunxiang was staying in the same hotel as them, accompanied by a female police officer, and should be asleep by now.
Xia Zhiyi: "This town isn't big, and there aren't many tourist attractions nearby. I don't think there will be many out-of-towners staying here. The fact that there's a hotel here is probably just for passing drivers."
Fu Yunyi sighed.
Gu Zhiyuan glanced at Xia Zhiyi's room, found a chair, sat down, and rested his chin on his hand, saying, "We just went to check on Chunxiang. They're already resting. That young lady said the girl had many bruises under her clothes; it's obvious she's been beaten a lot. It's so pitiful."
Fu Yunyi: " Old Gu, you should go with Xia Zhiyi tomorrow. I'll stay here with her."
Xia Zhiyi: "Are you worried about being recognized?"
Fu Yunyi sighed, "I'm worried about the environment here. Although my uncle helped me take most of the luggage back, some things are still here. Anyway, someone has to keep an eye on them, so I'll do it myself."
There was indeed a concern about being exposed as a reason.
Xia Zhiyi: "Okay."
The next morning, Xia Zhiyi dragged Fu Yunyi along for morning exercise. When they returned to the small hotel, she was still holding her phone to check if Wang Chengran had obediently gotten up to practice his basic skills that day. As soon as she entered, she saw Chunxiang sitting in the lobby of the small hotel.
Her face looked even more disheveled than yesterday, but that was because of the medicine she had applied; she looked rather pitiful, but...
The little girl seemed to have been waiting for Xia Zhiyi. When she heard the noise, she looked up and her eyes lit up instantly when she saw Xia Zhiyi.
Xia Zhiyi paused slightly in her steps.
