After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

Chapter 498 "There is another little girl in the room."

Jiang Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked softly, "Uncle, why do you say that? What happened to your daughter?"

Uncle Yong suddenly frowned and said fiercely, "What's it to you?"

He glanced at Jiang Yuan warily, then picked up his things and headed towards the building entrance.

Uncle Yong unlocked the door with his phone and went inside.

Jiang Yuan and the other two followed him upstairs.

Uncle Yong heard footsteps, turned around and glanced back, then quickened his pace up the stairs.

Jiang Yuan followed him and climbed all the way to the fifth floor in one go.

Uncle Yong walked to the door of 503, took out his key, opened the door, and said with a smile, "I'm back from grocery shopping. How's your daughter?"

Xiao Rao whispered, "The landlord replied to my message."

"What do you mean?" Director Liu asked.

Jiang Yuan also turned to look at him.

Xiao Rao slowly said, "Uncle Yong is forty-nine years old this year and has lived here for twenty-three years. He got married relatively late, around the age of thirty, and had a daughter two years later."

“When my daughter was four or five years old, Uncle Yong took her shopping. While he was chatting with the shop owner, my daughter disappeared. I guess she was kidnapped by human traffickers.”

“The landlord said that when Uncle Yong couldn’t find his daughter for a few days, he aged a lot and his hair turned white. Later, he became mentally unstable. Sometimes he would see a child on the street and say that she was his daughter. He was even arrested by the police a few times.”

Director Liu, who also has a daughter, couldn't bear to hear such things, and his eyes welled up with tears. "Uncle Yong really has it tough."

He couldn't even imagine what would happen to his own daughter...

Jiang Yuan pursed her lips, her feelings a mix of complex emotions and reflections.

Human traffickers are truly despicable and hateful.

The little yellow dog whimpered softly, "So that's how it is. I've seen the old man calling other human women 'daughters' before, and I thought he was a bad person. I never imagined it was because his daughter was stolen!"

Jiang Yuan stroked its head and asked softly, "Shall we go knock on the door and see?"

Director Liu nodded: "Alright."

Xiao Rao was the first to walk to the door of 503 and knocked on it.

A voice came from inside the house asking, "Who are you looking for?"

Xiao Rao said gently, "Is Uncle Yong home? I'm looking for Uncle Yong."

There was a moment of silence inside the door, then the sound of the door opening could be heard.

A middle-aged woman with a messy low ponytail and wearing a plaid long-sleeved shirt stood at the door. Seeing that Xiao Rao and the people behind him were unfamiliar faces, she asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

Xiao Rao showed his police ID and said, "Officer, there's something I'd like to ask Uncle Yong."

The middle-aged woman seemed to be used to it and calmly said, "Okay, come in."

Jiang Yuan put on shoe covers and went in. The living room was small but very clean, with an old wooden sofa and water glasses neatly arranged on the coffee table. There were also faded colorful windmill toys and hair clips next to it.

You can see the kitchen from next to the sofa, where Uncle Yong is wearing an apron and chopping vegetables.

Hearing the noise, he turned his head to look, frowned slightly, and continued chopping vegetables.

There was another door next to the kitchen, its door ajar.

"Please sit down." The middle-aged woman gestured for them to sit down, placed the upside-down water glasses back in place, and prepared to boil water.

"May I ask your name?" Director Liu asked.

The middle-aged woman said, "My surname is Chen." Director Liu nodded. "Ms. Chen, besides you and Uncle Yong, is anyone else in your household?"

"There's another little girl in the room," Ms. Chen answered truthfully without hiding anything.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan asked directly, "Is it the girl that Uncle Yong brought back from Shiqiao Street in the early hours of the night before last?"

Ms. Chen looked at her with a helpless expression. "Yes, I was working overtime at the factory the night before last, and he went out to wander around. When he came back, I found him holding a little girl who was soaking wet."

The night before last, Ms. Chen took a shower and sat in the living room waiting for Uncle Yong to come home.

She waited for a long time, getting a little impatient, and was about to go out to look for someone. But as soon as she opened the door, she saw Uncle Yong carrying a girl who was soaking wet. She was so scared that her face turned pale.

"Ah Yong, what... what's going on?"

Uncle Yong placed the girl on the sofa, raised his hand and wiped his forehead, it was hard to tell if it was sweat or water.

He turned to look at his wife, a smile spreading across his face: "Meizhen, I've found our daughter!"

He pointed at the unconscious girl, his voice trembling with excitement: "Meizhen, look, I've brought my daughter back! Aren't you happy?"

Chen Meizhen glanced at the girl on the sofa, then at Uncle Yong, opened her mouth, feeling both angry and wanting to cry.

She wanted to scold him for his recklessness, but seeing his delighted expression, she couldn't bear to reprimand him.

Uncle Yong urged, "Your daughter is all wet. Quickly change her clothes so she doesn't catch a cold."

Chen Meizhen nodded. "You carry her inside, I'll change her clothes, and you'll have to change your own wet clothes too."

Uncle Yong carried the girl to the bed in the room, then went to the bathroom to change his clothes. He paced anxiously back and forth in the living room.

He was thinking about what he could do for his daughter.
After Chen Meizhen changed the girl's clothes, she opened the door and saw Uncle Yong standing at the door with a basin of water.

"I've prepared a basin of hot water, can you wipe your daughter down?" He immediately corrected himself, "No, her hair is wet, we need to blow-dry it first."

He put down the basin of water and turned to find a hairdryer.

But he doesn't usually use this thing, and he couldn't find it after looking for a while. "Where's the hair dryer? Meizhen, where's your hair dryer? I need to dry my daughter's hair."

Chen Meizhen handed him the hairdryer and waited for him to finish drying the girl's hair before frowning and asking, "Ayong, where...where did you find her?"

“In the river near Shiqiao Street,” Uncle Yong replied.

Upon hearing this, Chen Meizhen frowned even more deeply. "What do you mean? How did she end up in the river?"

Uncle Yong looked bewildered and innocent: "They must have been so worried about us that they jumped in."

Chen Meizhen: "..."

She sat by the bed, looking at the unconscious girl, and said worriedly, "She jumped into the river. Should we take her to the hospital?"

Uncle Yong frowned and cried out anxiously, "Is my daughter sick? What are we going to do? I didn't take good care of her! It's all my fault, all my fault!"

Chen Meizhen's head was throbbing from his shouting, so she quickly grabbed her phone and dialed an emergency number. "Hello, my daughter jumped into the river and was rescued. What should I do now?"

She performed first aid on the girl following the other person's instructions.

Later, Sun Aidi woke up and weakly murmured, "Am I...am I dead?"

"My daughter is awake! My daughter is awake!" Uncle Yong exclaimed excitedly.

Chen Meizhen breathed a sigh of relief and began to hesitate about whether to call the police.

"Honey, is there anything else that's bothering you?" she asked. "Should I take you to the hospital?"

Sun Aidi stared blankly at the ceiling for a long while before whispering, "I don't want to go to the hospital."

“Okay.” Chen Meizhen nodded, then asked, “Where are your family members? I’ll give them a call.”
