Jing Shao is infertile, but his nanny is pregnant with his child.

The woman, held three meters away from the little girl, glared at Lu Yan hatefully upon hearing her words.

Lu Yanchong pouted at her. What was the use of hating her? There was nothing she could do.

The woman's chest swelled with anger at Lu Yan's irritating expression.

Director Zheng put his arm around the little girl and said, "Child, do you remember your parents' names? Uncle can help you find them."

The little girl sobbed uncontrollably, "Daddy, he hates me because I'm a girl, he hits Mommy, he wants to sell me."

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.

"Mom, I can't bear it, so Dad, you hit her."

The little girl spoke intermittently while crying, but everyone understood what had happened.

Director Zheng looked at Qin Yuanchao and said, "Bring those two men here."

A short while later, the two men arrived.

Director Zheng looked at the two of them and said, "I am the director of the Public Security Bureau. Now, you two need to honestly confess your relationship with this couple."

The two men turned pale with fright when they heard that the bureau chief had arrived.

Director Zheng looked at the two of them with a stern face, "It's not too late for you to confess now. If we find out later that you knew about it but didn't report it, you will also be charged with harboring a criminal, and you will spend the rest of your lives in jail."

The two men looked at each other, neither of them speaking first.

Lu Yan casually curled her lips, "You're quite righteous, but your accomplices won't take care of your family just because you protect them. They might even kill you to silence you, and you'll be sitting in jail, unable to do anything. You should think this through."

Upon hearing this, the man's eyelids twitched violently. "I...we'll talk."

Director Zheng: "Speak!"

"Last year, someone approached us and said that if we abducted a boy, they would give us 20 yuan, and if it was a girl, they would give us 5 yuan. We didn't dare to do it, but they said that someone would cooperate with us."

As he spoke, the man looked at the couple.

The couple turned pale, realizing they were doomed.

"When we get a job, the two of them will deliberately cause trouble on the street and make a mess of the surroundings. We will then take advantage of the chaos to grab children who have been separated from their parents."

As soon as they finished speaking, the couple's legs went weak and they sat down on the ground.

Zhou Yanchen spoke in a cold voice, "Do you know anything about this little girl's background?"

"I know," she said. Now that she had started, there was no need to hide anything. "At first, when we got jobs, we would buy as many children as possible. Only when we couldn't buy any would we take other people's children. This spring, a family offered 100 yuan to buy a baby girl. Her parents somehow found out that we were buying and selling children, so they sold her to us for 5 yuan. But then that family suddenly changed their minds."

Lu Yan twitched her lips. This kind of situation is not uncommon among human traffickers.

In later generations, girls who were bought or abducted encountered unscrupulous human traffickers who not only beat and scolded them, but also, when they couldn't find suitable families, would first bully them and then kill them to silence them.

It's a blessing that this little girl survived.

The man looked at the couple and said, "They have several sons, so they kept this girl, thinking that if one of their sons couldn't find a wife, they would let this girl marry him. She usually helps us out."

"Director, we know we were wrong. We had no other choice. We have elderly parents and young children to support. We can't just watch our child starve to death."

Director Zheng sternly rebuked, "This is not an excuse for you to traffic children!"

"Yes, yes, we know we were wrong, we really know we were wrong, we'll never do it again!"

Director Zheng: "Who are the child's parents? Do you know them?"

The two men shook their heads. "We don't know who they are. They left after giving us the child."

Director Zheng glanced at the couple sitting on the ground. "Do you know?"

The couple shook their heads blankly; they didn't know either.

The four people were taken away, and the little girl stood there helplessly.

Director Zheng: "No matter what, we must find the child's biological parents."

Brigade Commander Lin nodded in agreement.

Lu Yan's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she ultimately kept her mouth shut.

The child's biological father didn't want her. Even if her biological parents were found, she would still be sold and even beaten.

The little girl wanted to find her mother, but her mother couldn't protect her.

Everyone has their own destiny, so she shouldn't interfere in other people's lives.

Looking at the thin little girl, Brigade Commander Lin suddenly asked, "Director Zheng, before we find the little girl's parents, what are your plans for settling her in?"

Director Zheng: "I'll take her home first and see if I can find her parents. If not, I'll send her to an orphanage or find her some reliable parents."

"How about I take her away?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Commander Lin.

Brigade Commander Lin's child died, and his wife went insane. He has been living alone ever since. The chances of finding the little girl's biological parents are extremely slim. If the girl could live with Brigade Commander Lin, it would be a good outcome.

Director Zheng crouched down to be at eye level with the little girl. "Child, we will help you find your parents as soon as possible. Until then, would you like to go home with this uncle?"

The little girl glanced at Lu Yan, biting her chapped lips without saying a word.

Director Zheng was taken aback.

Lu Yan was also taken aback, but she didn't say anything.

She doesn't even have a place to live herself, how could she possibly take care of another child? Besides, she doesn't have the energy or the compassion.

She couldn't treat her son and the little girl the same way, so she wouldn't adopt the child.

Lu Yan walked over and squatted down in front of the little girl. "Little sister, why don't you come back with me first? I'll come see you when I have time, okay?"

Lu Yan really didn't understand why the little girl had taken a liking to her, when Nuan Nuan clearly felt more sorry for her.

The little girl nodded, her voice tinged with disappointment, "Okay."

Brigade Commander Lin walked over and took the little girl's hand. "Child, let's go."

The statement was taken, and there was nothing more for Lu Yan and the others to do. They went home without waiting for the little boy's family to arrive.

On the way back, Lu Yan sat in the car, watching the crowds coming and going outside, and childhood memories flooded back into her mind.

The orphanage director's son grinned maliciously, "You don't have a name? Well, I'll give you one. Your surname is Sao, and your name will be Sao Nu!"

He then burst into laughter.

"What, you don't like this name? Then I'll give you another one: 'Bitch'!"

That day, she hit the dean's son.

The other children helped the director's son, while the nine-year-old girl was pinned to the ground and beaten by more than a dozen children, and the director's son just stood there mercilessly mocking her.

She didn't hate those children; she knew they were just like her, struggling to survive.

So when she stood up, no one retaliated. Instead, she picked up a brick and smashed it on the head of the dean's son.
