On his first night as a substitute bride accompanying the army, the abstinent tycoon dropped his pre

Chapter 102 Ogawa
Wen Ci tilted his head and asked, "Little friend, why aren't you home on a rainy day? Why are you wandering around outside?"

"I have no home."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ci's eyes widened. Recalling his series of reactions just now, she couldn't help but have a bold idea: "You weren't kidnapped and then ran away to hide here, were you?"

"OK."

Wen Ci was even more shocked when he admitted it.

But upon closer reflection, the 1980s and early 2000s were the period when human trafficking was most rampant, as surveillance and DNA testing were not yet widespread.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Wen Ci picked up the umbrella and asked, "Why don't you go home with me first and take a hot shower? I'll take you to the police station tomorrow."

"it is good."

Seeing that the little boy agreed, Wen Ci smiled and teased him deliberately: "Aren't you afraid that Auntie is a human trafficker who will trick you out of money and sell you?"

The little boy pouted, "Bad people would just grab me directly, they wouldn't chat with me for so long, so the older sister is a good person."

"What's your name?"

"Ogawa"

At the main gate of the military region, Xiao Chuan looked up at the soldiers on duty in their uniforms and said in a soft voice, "I want to be a soldier in the future to protect my country."

Wen Ci held Xiao Chuan's hand, her eyes crinkling with laughter, and said with a cheerful smile, "Being a soldier is good. My husband is also a soldier."

"Is my sister married?"

The reason Wen Ci likes to call herself "Auntie" is that her peers all have children, and calling her "sister" always makes her feel inferior.

"Yes."

The military compound was only a few minutes' walk from the house. He pushed open the compound gate and called out, "Yu Qing?"

Seeing that no one responded, Wen Ci raised an eyebrow.

Could it be that I'll be staying at Xue Li's house tonight?
After entering the room, Wen Ci used a clean handkerchief to wipe the water off his face, and squatted down to ask, "Can you take a bath by yourself? Or do you want your sister to help you?"

Xiaochuan blushed instantly and said, "I can wash it myself."

Wen Ci smiled as she looked at his rosy cheeks. She led him to the bathroom and ran a hot water dispenser. Pointing to the light switch, she said, "If you think the water is too hot, push it to the right a little. I'll make you some ginger soup to warm you up."

Along the way, although there was no wind, the temperature was clearly dropping. He was soaked to the bone and needed to take a hot shower and drink ginger soup.

Wen Ci went to the kitchen to boil water. Last time she saw old ginger and brown sugar in the kitchen, after she finished slicing them, she went to the bedroom to get clothes for Xiao Chuan.

There weren't any clothes that fit him at home, so he could only wear Huo Jingyuan's coat. The coat had a fleece lining and was very warm. He would buy two more coats when he took Huo Jingyuan to the police station tomorrow.

In less than ten minutes, Xiao Chuan finished showering, dried himself with a towel, covered his private parts with his hands, and walked out of the bathroom with a flushed face.

"Sister, I have no clothes to wear."

Seeing him clutching his body, Wen Ci smiled. This was the first time she had smiled so heartily since learning that Huo Jingyuan was seriously injured.

I helped Xiao Chuan put on his coat and said, "Go sit on the sofa for a while, Auntie will bring you some ginger soup."

After boiling the water, Wen Ci threw in the shredded ginger and cooked it for a few minutes. Then she added a piece of brown sugar. The brown sugar dissolved, and the color of the pot changed instantly.

Wen Ci filled an enamel teacup with a bowl of tea, held the handle as she returned to the living room, handed it to him, and said with concern, "Blow on it, then drink it while it's hot."

"Thank you sister."

Throughout the entire ordeal, Xiao Chuan behaved obediently, and couldn't help but recall his earlier statement, "I have no home." He asked calmly, "How did you end up being abducted to the capital?"

Xiao Chuan leaned back on the sofa, steam rising from the enamel teacup in his hand, and said with slightly red eyes, "My parents were hit and killed by a car, and bad people robbed our house. I came from Su... Su."

He got stuck.

"Southern Jiangsu or Suzhou City?"

“Su Nan.” Wen Ci raised an eyebrow. Su Nan is thousands of kilometers away from the capital. It’s amazing that Xiao Chuan was abducted to the capital and was able to escape.

“I was abducted from the Sunan Welfare Home and brought here.”

"An orphanage?" Wen Ci frowned.

"Yes, yes, they are all bad guys. They deliberately took us away from the orphanage and then took us away. Some of us became beggars, and some were sold to other people."

Wen Ci was taken aback, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

As far as she knew, this tactic was especially rampant during the Qianxi era, where children who were not particularly good-looking would have their legs or hands broken and beg on the streets.

Cute-looking children are sold to families who want a son.

This kind of thing existed in the 1980s too!

Wen Ci's expression changed slightly. This kind of thing must be reported to the police to crack down on the rampant behavior of human traffickers, and the welfare home's review process must be strictly investigated.

"I need to go to the hospital first tomorrow, then I'll take you to the police station, okay?"

Ogawa nodded.

Suddenly, the landline phone in the living room rang. Wen Ci walked over and answered it. Hearing Yu Qing's voice, a playful smile appeared on her face.

"Why did you call? Are you going to tell me you're not coming home tonight?"

"No, I was just asking if you wanted me to bring some food back."

Wen Ci's gaze fell on Xiao Chuan. "I really need to trouble you to buy a few pieces of children's clothes, about six or seven-year-old boys' clothes."

After chatting, Wen Ci turned on the TV with the remote and asked, "Want to watch cartoons?"

"Cartoons are too childish."

Oops.

This shows that the little guy's family is quite well-off; in this day and age, people who can afford a TV don't have to worry about making a living.

The rain outside gradually subsided, but although it was only five or six o'clock, the sky looked as dark as eight or nine o'clock, and a dim yellow light shone inside.

Xue Li and Yu Qing shared an umbrella as they entered the courtyard.

Yu Qing shook the water off her umbrella at the door, then knocked. Xiao Chuan opened the door, looked up at Yu Qing, and obediently greeted, "Hello, sister~"

Xiao Chuan was wrapped in Huo Jingyuan's coat, which was dragging on the ground. With her face clean, Xiao Chuan looked incredibly cute and tender.

"Wen Ci, is this the child you picked up?"

Wen Ci stood up and, seeing Xue Li there, couldn't help but tease, "How was meeting the parents today?"

"Xue Li's grandfather is very capable. He even said he would teach me. I won't go with you to see Commander Huo tomorrow. You two should catch up first."

"Row."

As he spoke, Xue Li placed the food he had packed from the state-run restaurant on the table and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning."

"No need to trouble yourself, I can take a car."

"I also want to meet the boss."

Yu Qing nudged him with her elbow and whispered, "Why are you going to join in when the couple is meeting?"

"alright."

Xue Li looked at Xiao Chuan curiously and asked, "What's the situation with this child? Sister-in-law, how did you end up picking up a child on the street?"

"It's a long story..."

Wen Ci briefly recounted the events and Xiao Chuan's words to Xue Li, and Xue Li's expression immediately turned serious.
