When social terror becomes the favorite of the police

Chapter 429 Dwarfs

Lin Xiaoyan told He Qi'an about her concerns, and He Qi'an said that she would ask Jing Yi when she had time and then they would talk about it.

It's not necessary to invest in this movie.

You can also hire a professional financial advisor to help you manage your finances.

Alternatively, she could learn about financial management.

Lin Xiaoyan was intrigued by the suggestion.

Yes, she has nothing to do all day now, so she could learn how to manage her finances.

The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Xiaoyan went to the library with Nanxi.

The two decided to spend half a day at the library and then exercise at the club in the afternoon.

Upon arriving at the library, Lin Xiaoyan and Nanxi took out their ID cards and swiped them to enter.

She had come here once before with her classmates.

That was the first time she had ever seen so many books.

It's much bigger than the school library.

It's also much, much bigger than their family library!
Lin Xiaoyan and Nanxi went straight to the financial management section. She felt dizzy looking at the entire wall covered with books about financial management.

Nancy looked at the books, but she wasn't interested.

She randomly picked up a book and sat down.

Lin Xiaoyan found a few introductory books for financial beginners and sat down next to Nanxi to read them quietly.

After watching for twenty minutes, Lin Xiaoyan decisively gave up.

She doesn't have the talent for it.

Lin Xiaoyan pulled Nanxi along and went to read other books.

The two found a rest area and sat down to read.

The entire library was extremely quiet; no one spoke, everyone was focused on reading.

Time slipped through her fingers, and when Lin Xiaoyan's stomach started rumbling, she realized it was already noon.

Lin Xiaoyan bought several books, while Nanxi stood behind Lin Xiaoyan empty-handed.

"Are there any new copies of this book?"

While Lin Xiaoyan was queuing to pay, there was an elegant woman in front of her who was paying the bill with the staff.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, this is the only copy of this book left," the staff member said apologetically.

Zhou Lin looked at the book in her hand with some regret and asked, "When will there be a new book?"

"That's uncertain at the moment."

Zhou Lin sighed in disappointment, "Okay, then... this one will do."

"OK, just a second."

The staff member took the book and carefully wrapped it up.

Zhou Lin frowned slightly. There was a flaw on the cover of the book. She had mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, and seeing this flaw made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Wait a minute, I'm sorry, I don't want this book anymore. I'm sorry, this flaw... I really can't accept it."

Zhou Lin couldn't accept that flaw, and she said apologetically.

The staff member wasn't angry; she smiled and nodded, "Okay, ma'am."

Zhou Lin glanced at the book with great reluctance, then turned and left.

As Zhou Lin was leaving, she touched Lin Xiaoyan's hand.

However, Zhou Lin was too preoccupied with her disappointment at not being able to buy the book to notice this.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Zhou Lin, then glanced at Nanxi. Nanxi immediately understood and turned to leave.

Lin Xiaoyan quickly paid for the books she bought and then walked out.

When she reached the library entrance, she saw Nancy.

She ran over quickly, "Sister Nan."

Nancy was looking at the messages on her phone when she saw Lin Xiaoyan arrive, so she handed her the phone.

“Zhou Lin, female, 35 years old, English teacher at Haishi No.1 Middle School, husband Shi Jie, 36 years old…” Lin Xiaoyan saw Zhou Lin’s detailed information and noticed that the two had no children, raising her eyebrows slightly.

Once the two got back into the car, Lin Xiaoyan recounted the scene she had just "seen" Zhou Lin.

"Dwarf?"

Nancy frowned.

Lin Xiaoyan: "Yes, although he looks and has the same body as a six or seven-year-old child, his behavior, tone of voice and demeanor are very much like an adult."

After hearing this, Nancy's face turned serious. "I've been burned by this kind of person before."

Lin Xiaoyan was very curious upon hearing this.

“There is an organization that takes in children with dwarfism, but of course they don’t take in all children with dwarfism.”

Nancy said slowly, "They only want perfect dwarfs. There are many people with dwarfism now. Some have deformed bodies, and some have stopped developing, but their appearance will become mature."

The members of this organization only select dwarfs whose bodies and appearances have stopped growing.

Moreover, they appear healthy, indistinguishable from children.

"They specifically train these dwarfs to traffic children and women."

Others will forge identities and be adopted by wealthy people as orphans.

Nancy: "Generally, dwarfs who infiltrate wealthy people's homes are highly skilled and intelligent..."

Hearing Nancy's words, Lin Xiaoyan was astonished, "This... isn't this just a scene from a movie?"

“I remember a movie where a dwarf pretended to be a little boy and then killed the family that adopted him.”

Nancy: "Art comes from life, that's exactly what it means."

Lin Xiaoyan: "So, those kinds of movies are based on true stories?"

Nancy: "I don't know, but there are indeed dwarfs in society."

Lin Xiaoyan recalled the scene she had just "seen," and her worldview was once again challenged.

When Zhou Lin returned home, she looked unhappy.

I was planning to buy the book today, but I didn't manage to, and I feel really bad about it.

Back home, Zhou Lin sat on the sofa, sulking.

Zhou Lin's husband, Shi Jie, heard his wife's voice and came out, only to see his wife sitting on the sofa with an unhappy expression.

"What's wrong? Didn't you go to the library?"

Zhou Lin looked up at her husband with a wronged expression, "We couldn't buy the book. There was only one left, but there was a black spot on the cover, so I didn't take it."

Upon hearing his wife's words, Shi Jie gently comforted her, "It's alright if we couldn't buy it. I'll buy it when the new books come back."

Zhou Lin pouted, still feeling upset.

"What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll cook."

Shi Jie washed his hands and asked.

"After lunch, let's go to the welfare home this afternoon."

Zhou Lin was already feeling unwell, and hearing her husband's words made her feel even worse.

She and Shih Chieh have been married for ten years but have not been able to conceive.

Both of them were healthy, but they couldn't conceive despite trying various methods.

Shi Jie's family lives in a small mountain village in Shaanxi Province, and their family is quite traditional.

Because they hadn't had children yet, Shi Jie's parents had long been impatient and wanted them to adopt Shi Jie's younger brother's child.

Zhou Lin is an only child who grew up in a privileged environment. Both her parents are university professors, and she had a smooth and successful life from a young age.

During her university years, she secretly dated Shi Jie.

Although Shi Jie came from a poor family, he was very outstanding.

During his university years, he worked part-time at the university every day to earn his living expenses.

Even so, his academic performance was still excellent, and he received the school scholarship almost every year.
