A woman in her 1970s remarried a tycoon with no heir, and gave birth to triplets, stunning the famil

The next second, Jiang Linwan heard Jiang Xiuwan's miserable cries, accompanied by a man's sinister curses: "Shut up, or I'll make sure you never speak again."

"Your mother is trying to give you a good life, how can you be so ungrateful, you brat?"

The voice was crude and sinister, sending chills down one's spine. Jiang Linwan moved nimbly, stepping on the firewood piled up against the wall to climb over it.

Feeling guilty, Chen Hongying looked around and scolded fiercely, "You good-for-nothing! I just couldn't bear to see you suffer with your father, so I was thinking of finding you a good family. And here you are, crying and crying."

"Quickly gag yourself, so no outsiders can hear," Chen Hongying reminded him with a sharp and sarcastic tone.

The man hadn't expected the woman to be so ruthless. He chuckled and deftly stuffed a rag into Jiang Xiuwan's mouth, then put her directly into a sack.

The next second, a cloud of powder drifted over, and Chen Hongying and the others sneezed violently, inhaling a lot of powder through their nostrils. Just as they were about to curse, they opened their mouths and their heads became dizzy.

Then the two of them fell to the ground.

Jiang Linwan leaped down from the wall and walked to Chen Hongying and the other woman. After confirming that they were both completely unconscious, she quickly took out a rope from her spatial storage and tied them up tightly.

He then quickly went to Jiang Xiuwan, untied the sack, and saw that the girl's eyes were red from crying and she was panting heavily.

She quickly untied the little girl, and when Jiang Xiuwan saw her aunt, she threw herself into her arms, crying even harder: "Auntie, waaaah..."

"It's alright, it's alright now, Auntie's here." Jiang Linwan gently reached out to protect her frail little body, her voice as soft as if coaxing a fragile treasure, and gently patted her back.

"How did you end up with her?" Jiang Linwan asked, frowning, sensing that she was in a stable mood.

Jiang Xiuwan sniffed, looking at Chen Hongying on the ground, her eyes filled with complex hatred: "My mother said she was sorry to me."

She told me she shouldn't have treated me that way before, that she knew she was wrong, that her new husband treated her badly, and that she regretted it…

Then there was a little girl who had just turned eight and had always longed for maternal love. When she saw her mother apologizing to her, she was tricked into coming to town.

Jiang Linwan tenderly rubbed Jiang Xiuwan's head, not daring to waste any time, and carried Chen Hongying and the man to the corner of the wall.

She grabbed some more firewood, intending to use it to shield the two of them, when she caught a glimpse of a letter peeking out from the corner of Chen Hongying's clothes, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Chen Hongying's family also favored sons over daughters. She was cunning and used underhanded means to marry her elder brother, after which she cut off all ties with her family.

When the Jiang family was sent to the countryside, she had nowhere to go, otherwise she wouldn't have come here with the Jiang family.

She has no relatives at all, so how could she write a letter?

Jiang Linwan pulled out the envelope, used firewood to shield the two of them, and then took Jiang Xiuwan to the town's police station to report the case.

Upon hearing that they were human traffickers, the police officers quickly dispatched and apprehended the two individuals, who were still unconscious when they were caught.

Meeting the wary gaze of the police officer, Jiang Linwan immediately explained, "I'm a doctor, so it's not surprising that I have some medicinal herbs on hand."

Jiang Linwan also gave a statement. When the police officers learned that she was Lu Qiyue's wife, their expressions changed instantly, and they all looked at her with curiosity.

After taking his statement, they released him.

When Jiang Linwan took Jiang Xiuwan to the shore, the boat was still there, but it wasn't the previous boat; it was a new one.

When she took the car back, it was already getting dark. As soon as the boat docked at the shore, Jiang Linwan saw that familiar, tall figure.

She led Jiang Xiuwan quickly over, and called out to the man, "Brother Qiyue!"

"Okay, let's go back." Lu Qiyue's voice was calm. The sky was dark, completely shrouding his face in shadow.

Jiang Linwan couldn't discern his emotions from his face, but she could tell from his voice that he was angry.

Her heart tightened inexplicably, and her scalp tingled slightly. Could it be that she had brought Xiuwan along and that Brother Qiyue was angry?

That's true. Xiuwan's current status is special, and she shouldn't bring her back. But it's so late, and she can't just leave her niece outside. She's only eight years old, and Jiang Linwan is worried about her.

"Brother Qiyue, I... I'll take Xiuwan back first." Jiang Linwan stopped in her tracks and said, biting her lip.

As soon as she said this, Lu Qiyue stopped in his tracks. Although she couldn't tell his emotions, Jiang Linwan noticed that even his posture exuded restrained anger.

Jiang Linwan was so frightened that her breathing became shallower, and her fingertips unconsciously clenched.

Lu Qiyue turned around, his dark eyes looking at her, his broad, warm hands gripping her shoulders, and he looked at her seriously: "Why did Jiang Linwan send her back?"

She's your niece, which makes her my niece too. What are you so afraid of?

Jiang Linwan's fair face was filled with astonishment: "I... I'm afraid she'll implicate you."

"Do you also think the Jiang family really did those things?" Lu Qiyue looked at her.

Jiang Linwan quickly shook her head: "No, my grandfather donated medicine and food to our country during the war. He was a patriot and would never do such a thing."

"Since you haven't done anything wrong, what are you afraid of? Your grandfather's case is still under investigation, and the organization will clear their name, so you don't need to be afraid." The cold and fierce aura that had been pressing down on him dissipated more and more, and his tense and stiff shoulders and back quietly relaxed. Lu Qiyue then said, "I'm angry because I failed to protect you."

The town's police station called me, saying you caught a human trafficker. They said you're amazing, but I'm still worried about you.

He couldn't imagine how the little girl could fight off two human traffickers all by herself; it was his oversight that he hadn't arranged for anyone to protect her.

So that's what happened. Jiang Linwan instantly looked proud and recounted how she drugged the two men and tied them up.

Lu Qiyue walked beside her, looking at her proud appearance and couldn't help but smile helplessly. He decided in his heart that from now on, when she goes out, he would let Xiao Zhang go with her.

As they walked to their doorstep, Jiang Linwan realized that her grandfather and parents would be worried if Xiuwan didn't go back. She looked at Lu Qiyue anxiously and said, "Let's send Xiuwan back."

Grandpa and the others must be worried if they can't see Xiuwan.

"No need, I've already spoken to your grandfather," Lu Qiyue said.

Jiang Linwan breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a warmth in her heart. She excitedly pulled Jiang Xiuwan into the courtyard.

Jiang Linwan felt bad that her nephews and nieces had suffered so much. The last time she saw Xiuwan and the others, they had all lost a lot of weight. Now she could stay at home to take care of them for a few days.

Jiang Linwan had already decided to give her a good boost to her health.

Jiang Xiuwan followed Jiang Linwan into the house, curiously looking around at everything inside. Although she was only eight years old, she was more mature than other children because of Chen Hongying.

"Auntie, is this room just for me to sleep in? Can I sleep in a room by myself? Do you and Uncle have any other rooms?" She blinked her moist eyes, which looked just like Jiang Linwan's, making people's hearts melt.

Jiang Linwan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "It must be your uncle who tidied up the house, preparing for the two of us to live together."

"No!" Jiang Xiuwan shook her head, her face full of resistance.
