The room had brand new sheets and blankets, and a doll was placed on the bedside table.

Li Tian looked at everything in the room, unable to hide her surprise and delight.

"Master, you even prepared a room for me."

Kong Man leaned against the door frame, arms crossed, and smiled when she saw Li Tian was happy.

"Yes, would you like to stay here for a longer period?"

Li Tian casually placed her schoolbag on the table.

"Sure, sure, as long as Master doesn't find me annoying."

"My conditions here are not as good as yours. If you need anything else, I'll go and get it for you."

"I'm fine with basic necessities; I'm not that fussy."

Kong Man smiled.

If her little apprentice were truly spoiled, she would have preferred to be criticized rather than accept her as a student.

Li Tian stayed behind to tidy up the room, while Kong Man went out to boil a kettle of water.

"Are you full? I only have some noodles here."

It was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and even if there was delicious food, Li Tian would not eat anymore.

It's about maintaining good health.

"Master, I'm full."

Li Tian sat cross-legged on the sofa and looked at Kong Man.

"Master, will you get along with that uncle from today?"

Kong Man shook her head.

She can't be a good wife and mother.

Li Tian had already guessed it during the meal, so she didn't ask any further questions.

"Master, what have you been busy with lately? I haven't been able to get in touch with you."

Kong Man heard the whistle coming from the kettle in the kitchen and ran over in a few steps.

After pouring the boiling water into the thermos, I sat back down with two cups of water.

"Last time you asked your dad to look into disabled children on the street, right? I encountered them twice after returning to Beijing."

"What a coincidence! Are disabled children everywhere being pushed out by their families to beg for money?"

"When I had doubts, I paid attention to them when I wasn't busy."

"We didn't know until we investigated that these children were being controlled by a group of human traffickers."

Kongman sighed.

I really don't want to recall those tragic scenes.

These were perfectly healthy children, but they were crippled and rendered mute by them. Not only that, they were forced to demand money, and they also suffered inhuman abuse.

Almost none of the rescued children were mentally sound, and their bodies were severely mutilated...

"I reported the clues as soon as I found them, and a raid was launched a while ago."

"A lot of people have been arrested."

Li Tian grasped Kong Man's arm.

"Master, what should we do with those children?"

"The government sent its best pediatricians to try and save them, but it's very difficult for them to recover..."

Li Tian felt upset whenever she saw these kinds of messages before, and she still felt uncomfortable listening to Kong Man talk about them now.

Some people are truly worse than animals.

Will those people be sentenced to death?

"Probably."

Kong Man also wished she could skin those beasts alive, but what happened afterward was no longer her concern.

"Master, will these things be reported in the newspapers or on television?"

Kong Man shook her head; she didn't know, and hadn't thought about these things.

"If you have a boil, just cut it off, but it will definitely grow back, so just cut it off again."

"People should be informed as soon as possible to raise awareness and keep a close eye on their children."

"When everyone is on guard, bad guys don't have many opportunities to strike."

Kong Man agreed with Li Tian, ​​but she was of low status and her voice carried little weight.

Li Tian knew he was putting his master in a difficult position; only someone of Li Shengli's stature could handle this kind of situation.

Keeping it a secret offers no benefit other than preventing outsiders from seeing the boils and being alarmed.

When the pain becomes unbearable, it has to be cut off.

"Is it difficult to go straight to the third grade?"

Li Tian smiled and shook her head.

Kong Man touched Li Tian's little face.

She even took on a genius apprentice; she's aiming for someone who excels in both literature and martial arts!

What classes do we have tomorrow?

"Calligraphy in the morning, vocal music and piano in the afternoon."

Kong Man clicked his tongue twice.

Even on the weekend, there's no time to rest.

It's really not easy being a kid.

"Then hurry up and wash up and go to bed. You'll never have a free time on the weekend."

Kong Man got up and went to the toilet to prepare bath water for Li Tian.

Li Tian went back to her room to get the pajamas and shorts she had brought.

"Do you need my help?"

"Master, I can."

Kong Man went out because she was afraid that Li Tian would feel uncomfortable.

After going back inside and preparing a change of clothes, I sat down in the living room.

The toilet is close by here, so Li Tian can hear her if she calls out.

When Li Tian came out, Kong Man saw that her hair was still dripping wet, so she quickly took a towel and helped her wipe it.

"Master, if you still need a shield, you should really consider my father."

"You're usually busy with your own things, but when needed, you're each other's shield."

"My dad is a decent person, and he's presentable. You know my grandparents to some extent; they won't pressure me to have children or cause trouble. I don't need to say anything more; they're definitely not an obstacle for you."

"It can be said that it has only benefits and no drawbacks."

Kong Man was delighted to hear this.

"Does your dad know you're saying this about him?"

Li Tian spread his hands.

"I didn't belittle him, I was just telling the truth."

"You can make a pact, and if you find each other agreeable in the future, you can even turn this charade into a real relationship."

Kong Man raised her hand and slapped Li Tian on the forehead.

"Marriage is not a trivial matter."

"Master, do you think you can avoid being introduced to other leaders just because you met this one today?"

Kong Man pursed her lips.

Ever since the older teachers and leaders at the school learned that she was still single, they've been incredibly enthusiastic, practically wanting her to go on blind dates every day.

It's as if not getting married means failing to complete a political task.

That's why she kept finding things to do to reduce the time she spent in the office.

Although Li Tian's suggestion was somewhat absurd, it didn't seem like it was impossible.

But this is just a child's wild idea; why would Li Yuanchao want a wife based on an agreement?

"Stop overthinking, or you'll stunt your growth."

Li Tian could tell that her master was slightly tempted.

But this matter will probably have to be brought up by her father first.

It's just a marriage of convenience; I don't know if her father can accept it.

After all, their thinking is still very traditional and conservative.

"Master, my hair is still a little wet. I'll do my homework for a while. You can go ahead and do your work."

"Okay, don't stay out too late. Just call me if you need anything."

Li Tian smiled and waved to Kong Man.

Even though it's the weekend, I can't stop exercising in the morning.

Li Tian wanted to ask his master for some guidance.

After breakfast, Kong Man took Li Tian to the Children's Palace on her bicycle.

After escorting her into the classroom, Kong Man went outside to wait.

I sat down with the parents who were waiting for their children.

"Comrade, how old is your child? You sent him here."

Kong Man looked around to make sure the person next to her was talking to her.

I could only vaguely reply, "Six years old."

"You look so young! Your figure has recovered so well, you don't look like you've ever given birth."

Kong Man smiled awkwardly, too lazy to explain further.

The woman next to me continued, "I'm pretty honest. The country encourages late marriage and late childbirth, so I got married at 26 and had my first child at 28. Look at this little belly, it'll never go back to its original size."

Kong Man smiled again.

It was too uncomfortable to keep forcing a smile, so Kong Man left her seat.
