Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 446 Change the Guardian

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhaojun's face turned pale. Du Hexuan also recalled that at the beginning of the show, when this guy came to greet their An'an, An'an had mentioned it.

In this program, the children are the main characters. It doesn't matter if Yu Zhaojun forgets to bring her a gift, as long as he doesn't forget to prepare gifts for the children.

At the time, Du Hexuan didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. Now, hearing her bring it up again, he finally realized that his sister probably already knew something was wrong back then.

Nobody paid attention at the time, including the instigator in front of us.

Although Yu Zhaojun brought a lot of snacks at the beginning, it was all to cover up his true intentions.

At the beginning of the show, he distributed most of the snacks to the other guests' children, thereby leaving a good impression on everyone and indirectly justifying his motivation for bringing snacks.

At that moment, all that was left in his bag was an unopened pack of marshmallows.

After hearing Du Anrao's words, someone immediately took the bag of cotton candy to be tested, and the results came out quickly.

The candy was laced with sleeping pills.

Du Anrao was not surprised by the result. He glanced at Ke Zhaozhao, who was nestled in his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Does Zhaozhao like cotton candy?"

"like."

"How about your sister and Uncle Du take you out to buy cotton candy later?"

Ke Zhaozhao's eyes brightened slightly: "Okay."

At this point, the truth is quite clear.

This bag of cotton candy was prepared by Yu Zhaojun for Ke Zhaozhao, probably so that Ke Zhaozhao would become sleepy and lose consciousness as soon as she arrived at the market, making it easier for human traffickers to take her away without her noticing.

Unfortunately, first, Du Hexuan's tearing up of the script severed his connection with Ke Zhaozhao, and then Ke Zirui, that brat, kept him occupied and unable to get close to Ke Zhaozhao within the limited time available. Naturally, the cotton candy became useless.

When Yu Zhaojun saw that the secret in the cotton candy had been discovered, his face turned ashen. But he knew that he absolutely could not admit to it, or his life would be ruined.

In the end, he still gritted his teeth and denied that the purpose of these cotton candies was related to the child abduction, saying only that he carried them with him for his own use when he suffered from insomnia, and that they had nothing to do with others.

But some things don't cease to exist just because he denies them. Mrs. Ke is already on her way to be arrested, and the police have also sent people to investigate his recent activities. They believe they will have results soon. His current insistence is nothing more than a desperate struggle.

Du Anrao's focus at the police station this time was still on those human traffickers. She asked Du Hexuan to take the child to make a statement first, while she followed several staff members into the interrogation room of those human traffickers.

When she came out again, it was already dusk. Du Hexuan was holding the child and waiting for her in the lounge next door. He immediately went to greet her when she came out.

"How about it?"

"It's resolved. These people have been traveling around various provinces and regions for years, abducting and trafficking many children. The police have now sped up the search, and we should have results soon."

Du Hexuan's expression darkened slightly: "These despicable human traffickers deserve to be torn to pieces!" Ke Zhaozhao, who was in his arms, was probably frightened by his fierce appearance, and her neck shrank back as she struggled to get down.

Du Hexuan then realized his lapse in composure and quickly reassured him, "Don't be afraid, I wasn't talking about you."

Ke Zhaozhao nodded, her expression less panicked, but she couldn't wait to reach out to Du Anrao for a hug.

"……"All right.

Du Hexuan reluctantly handed Ke Zhaozhao to Du Anrao, and at the same time talked about what happened after Du Anrao entered the house: "The production team called me and mentioned that the show was suspended. With something like this happening during the live broadcast, it's highly likely that filming will not be able to resume."

Du Anrao nodded. This was expected; they had been mentally prepared for it and were not surprised.

"By the way, Mrs. Ke has been arrested, and the news reports are out."

Du Hexuan pulled up the news report that had just come out that afternoon and handed it to Du Anrao.

Although Mrs. Ke tried her best to lower her head in the photos accompanying the news, she still couldn't stump the resourceful reporters. Several photos captured her face, which made it easy for Du Anrao to extract some information that he hadn't noticed before.

【I see. 】

Du Hexuan: "???" What's going on? Is there more juicy gossip?
[Mrs. Ke is pregnant and has likely undergone testing, knowing she's carrying a girl. To ensure this child's exclusivity within the Ke family and to secure a larger share of the inheritance in the future, Zhao Zhao, the child of the first wife, must not be allowed to live.]

That's why they meticulously planned this whole thing. It's worth mentioning that Yu Zhaojun didn't know, nor did the human traffickers, that Mrs. Ke had no intention of sparing the poor girl's life.

She had planned it all out from the beginning. Once the child traffickers took the child away, she would immediately call the police as soon as she received a report from the program team, and provide the police with the escape route of the traffickers so that they could chase and surround them.

It's obvious that her actions weren't out of a sudden pang of conscience, but rather an attempt to force these human traffickers into a corner.

Those who can do this are mostly desperate criminals. If they are really being chased, they will definitely abandon their burdens and run away on their own.

As discarded burdens, most of them would not escape unscathed. They would most likely be drowned or strangled by the group in some remote place to attract the attention of their pursuers.

This shows that Madam Ke was planning to use others to do her dirty work, and wanted to use these ruthless human traffickers to get rid of Ke Zhaozhao, who was a stumbling block that might threaten her two children's inheritance of the Ke family!
Du Hexuan: "!!!" This is too vicious!
No wonder Zhao Zhao looked like she was about to die a violent death. I was wondering if she resisted after being taken away by human traffickers, or if she was beaten for wanting to go home after being sold... Turns out, the problem lies with this stepmother.

Du Hexuan curled his lips. No wonder he said he was going to cause trouble and stop the show early. An An said it was useless. It still couldn't change the fact that the child died a violent death. The murderer was right in his own house. If one plan failed, he would definitely come up with another. The child was impossible to guard against. How could he not be harmed?

"What should we do with this child now? The person who harmed her is in her own home, and her father is a..." lustful good-for-nothing.

Du Hexuan managed to restrain himself and didn't speak ill of her biological father in front of the child. He said irritably, "He can't protect her at all. If we just let her go back like this, who knows what kind of abuse she will suffer."

"That's easy, just change her guardian."

"Change the guardian?" Du Hexuan was stunned. Before he could think further, a policewoman came over.

"Is this child named Ke Zhaozhao? There's an adult outside looking for her, saying he's... her relative."
