Upon hearing this, Li Huan immediately became agitated and shouted into the phone:

"Hey, don't talk nonsense without evidence!"

"I'm a good citizen, how could I possibly help human traffickers?"

The person on the other end of the phone was clearly startled.

Surprisingly, this person, after receiving a call from the government, was not only not afraid, but also quite self-righteous.

"Comrade, you've misunderstood!" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded more polite.

"We are not saying that you are helping human traffickers move children."

"I just wanted to ask you, do you know where the woman with the child you picked up on the way from Xiahe Village got off the bus?"

"The little girl's father and grandmother were frantic after learning that their child had been abducted, and they're now searching the world for her!"

Li Huan retorted bluntly, "What human traffickers? I don't have any human traffickers here!"

"I did give someone a ride on my way out of Xiahe Village tonight!"

"But they are a legitimate mother and daughter, not the human traffickers you're all talking about!"

"If you have nothing else, then I'll hang up! It's late, and I have things to do!"

The person on the other end of the phone quickly said, "Wait a minute!"

The phone call continued, with people whispering to each other on the other end, seemingly discussing something.

About two minutes later, a voice came from the other end of the phone again:

"Comrade, we just confirmed with the person who reported the incident again, and it is indeed the child's biological mother who secretly took the child away."

"But the child's father and grandmother were indeed unaware of this matter."

"The most important thing right now is to help the person who reported the incident and find the child as soon as possible!"

"Please understand and cooperate with our work by informing us of the location where the mother and daughter got off the bus!"

Li Huan hesitated for a moment, glanced at the direction of the train station entrance, and was about to speak.

Suddenly, Li Huan felt a gentle tap on his shoulder. He turned around instinctively and saw his friend gently shaking his head at him.

Li Huan nodded quickly to indicate that she understood, and then blurted out into the phone:

"She went to the airport!"

"That girl was carrying the child when she went to the airport!"

"They should be getting ready to take a flight in the early morning, somewhere."

"If you're looking for someone, you'd better hurry. The plane will take off any later!"

On the other end of the phone, someone said "Thank you for your cooperation" and quickly hung up.

Li Huan breathed a sigh of relief, then raised an eyebrow triumphantly at his friend.

"How about that? I reacted quickly, didn't I, bro!"

Chen Mo glanced at his friend and commented indifferently, "Trying to be clever."

For some reason, he always felt uneasy.

"I hope that little girl really did leave by train..."

Li Huan scratched his head, clearly having thought of this as well, and whispered guiltily:

"Is it really that bad? I think that girl is pretty naive; she probably doesn't have that much cunning."

Chen Mo gazed out the window at the bustling entrance to the station and murmured to himself:

"She was fleeing with her daughter; it would be good if she had been more careful."

Li Huan looked at his friend and sighed softly, "Sigh! What's wrong with this world?"

"Good girls can't find good men, and good men can't find good wives." Li Huan looked at his friend, clearly implying something.

"I think that girl is really nice! She speaks gently and has a kind heart. When she heard that my wife was pregnant, she even gave her two red envelopes."

As Li Huan spoke, he took out two red envelopes from his pocket and looked at them again and again.

"Don't let her simple clothes fool you, that girl was quite generous; she gave two hundred to each child!"

Although Chen Mo noticed his friend's "little action," he was still a little uneasy. "You accepted it?"

Li Huan quickly distanced himself, raising his voice as he said:

"Who do you think I am? How could I possibly accept this!"

"I secretly slipped it back into her bag when I left."

As Li Huan spoke, he made exaggerated gestures, which amused the usually aloof Chen Mo, causing a smile to appear in his eyes.

"Alright, let me treat you to a late-night snack, then I'll take you to the airport!" Li Huan glanced at the time, his tone somewhat reluctant.

Chen Mo nodded slightly, "Mm."

After finishing their late-night snack, the car arrived at the terminal.

When Li Huan turned to look at his friend again, though his words were joking, his eyes held a sincere blessing:

"Chen Mo, I hope next time we brothers meet, you'll bring your family along, instead of being all alone!"

After getting off the train with his bag, Chen Mo entered the station without looking back.

That's too wordy!

If he stayed a few more days, Li Huan might be able to help him choose a name for the child in advance!

Despite his outward "disdain," Chen Mo felt a warm glow inside.

Every time he experienced a low point in his life, he was able to rise again with the encouragement of his close friends.

As Chen Mo was about to go through security, he noticed three people next to him looking around and talking together as they passed by the back of the line.

"Brother, is Lan Yujuan really at the airport? Is the news reliable?"

The man referred to as "Big Brother" said with unusual certainty, "Lan Yujuan is definitely at the airport!"

"There was a flight in the early morning that was heading to her hometown in Hunan."

"I used Xiaoman's ID number to find their flight information; they were both on this flight!"

Upon hearing that name, Chen Mo instinctively stopped in his tracks.

The surname Lan is not common, and it is even rarer to find people with the same first and last name.

And it happened tonight, with one fleeing and the other chasing. Chen Mo didn't believe this was just a simple coincidence.

He suddenly stopped, drawing the attention of the three people beside him who looked at him with suspicion.

Chen Mo calmly took out his phone and began replying to messages while still standing in place.

After glancing at it a few times, the three quickly dispelled their doubts and continued their conversation.

"Brother, but the three of us haven't bought plane tickets, and they won't let us through security!"

"Even if Lan Yujuan and Xiaoman really hide inside the airport, we can't do anything about it in this public place."

The man addressed as "Big Brother" stood with his hands on his hips, and after a moment of contemplation, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I have a plan!"

"You two, go and block the exit. If you get any news, contact me immediately!"

"I need to grab a ticket as quickly as possible, get through security, and then we'll see what happens!"

"If I really can't find her, I'll fly to southern Hunan tonight and wait for her at her parents' house!"

"I don't believe it. A house sparrow that's been raised for four years can't possibly fly away with its chicks, can it?"

Hearing this, Chen Mo glanced at his plane ticket to Hunan at dawn and immediately put his phone away.

After passing through the VIP channel, he first went to the waiting room.

After circling around twice, the mother and daughter were finally spotted in the children's play area of ​​a restaurant.

The little guy sat in the play area, intently building with blocks.

Lan Yujuan sat down next to her, took out a notebook from her bag, and started typing something on the keyboard.

She would type on the keyboard for a while, then look up at the little one, and take a sip of cola during the breaks.

Chen Mo stood outside the glass window, watching the mother and daughter from afar.

Despite being surrounded by a bustling crowd, it was as if the world had nothing to do with the mother and daughter, and only the two of them remained.

Chen Mo leaned against the railing, took out a cigarette, and smelled it.

He was unsure whether or not to get involved in this mess...
