Chapter 125: Lost (Please subscribe to the two-in-one)

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the window and falls on the sofa in the living room, forming patches of light and shadow.

Jiang Yun leaned lazily on the sofa, holding a parenting magazine in her hand, her eyes scanning the pages from time to time, carefully absorbing the knowledge about pregnancy and newborn care.

Lu Mingze sat aside, handling some work matters with his tablet computer, and looked up at Jiang Yun from time to time, his eyes full of tenderness and concern.

At this moment, a news report suddenly interrupted the TV: "Recently, the police successfully cracked a major child trafficking case and rescued several abducted children. It is reported that this criminal gang has long been operating in crowded places such as shopping malls and parks, abducting and trafficking children through means such as deception and robbery, and their methods are extremely cruel..."

Upon hearing the news, Lu Mingze and Jiang Yun stopped what they were doing and stared at the TV screen.

Jiang Yun's expression changed slightly, her eyes moved, and she subconsciously placed her hand on her bulging belly.

Lu Mingze noticed something was wrong with Jiang Yun, so he put down his tablet and moved closer to her. He put his arm around her shoulders and said softly, "Yunyun, don't worry. These cases have been solved. The police are cracking down on human traffickers. Our baby will be safe."

Jiang Yun nodded gently: "Mingze, I am afraid when I think about the baby being born and taking him out to meet these bad guys.

The parents of those abducted children must be in so much pain, their entire family's happiness has been destroyed."

Lu Mingze hugged Jiang Yun tighter and said firmly, "No, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt the baby. From now on, when we go out, I will keep a close eye on him and won't leave his side for a moment."

After the news ended, Jiang Yun's mood could not calm down for a long time. She began to search for information about human traffickers on the Internet, and the more she read, the more shocking she found it.

The various anti-abduction methods and the tragic experiences of abducted children made her frown more and more.

Lu Mingze looked at Jiang Yun's worried face and felt distressed. He gently took the phone from Jiang Yun's hand and said, "Yunyun, stop looking at it. The more you look at it, the more scared you will feel.

We just need to take precautions. I'm going to learn some knowledge about abduction prevention now, it will definitely come in handy in the future."

So, in the next few days, Lu Mingze studied anti-abduction techniques whenever he had free time.

He looked up various information online and printed out some important content and posted it on the refrigerator and bedroom wall for easy reference at any time.

He told Jiang Yun that when taking the baby out in the future, she must choose places with many people and good public security, and never go to remote corners; if a stranger takes the initiative to talk to her, she must remain vigilant and not easily believe the other person's words; a small card with the parents' contact information can be sewn on the baby's clothes, just in case.

Jiang Yun listened carefully to Lu Mingze's instructions and nodded continuously.

Moreover, Lu Mingze pretended to be a stranger and tried to "kidnap" the imaginary baby, while Jiang Yun responded according to the method she learned.

At first, Jiang Yun was a little nervous, but after practicing several times, she gradually became proficient and was able to calmly see through Lu Mingze.

Then they packed up and went to the supermarket to buy maternity and baby products.

The supermarket is bustling with people coming and going.

When Jiang Yun was choosing baby formula, a middle-aged woman who looked very kind came over and enthusiastically introduced a certain type of formula: "Girl, this formula is really good. My grandson drinks it and he has grown up very strong."

Jiang Yun responded with a polite smile, but she remembered what Lu Mingze said and became alert.

At this moment, Lu Mingze happened to walk over with a few packs of diapers. Seeing this, he immediately understood what was going on. He calmly stood beside Jiang Yun, put his arm around her shoulders, and said to the woman, "Thank you. We've already understood and we can choose for ourselves."

Seeing this, the woman exchanged a few more pleasantries and then left.

After coming out of the supermarket, Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was really nervous just now. Fortunately, you came in time."

Lu Mingze smiled and pinched Jiang Yun's nose, saying, "It's okay. From now on, no matter what time it is, as long as I'm here, I won't put you and the baby in danger. However, you have to be careful at all times and don't let your guard down."

The due date is getting closer.

The care for the baby is comprehensive.

Lu Mingze also attended an anti-abduction lecture organized by the community, and after returning, he shared the new things he learned with Jiang Yun.

One night, the two of them were lying in bed. Jiang Yun gently stroked her belly, feeling the baby's movements, and suddenly said, "Mingze, will we be good parents?"

Lu Mingze placed Jiang Yun's hand in his own and said gently, "Of course."

As he spoke, Lu Mingze remembered something, stood up and took out an exquisite little pendant from the drawer. The pendant was engraved with the baby's name.

Although they didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl, they had already thought of two backup names, and Lu Mingze's cell phone number was also written on it.

He handed the pendant to Jiang Yun and said, "This is specially customized for me. When the baby is born, he will wear it. This way, even if we get separated, others can contact us."

Jiang Yun took the pendant and examined it carefully: "Mingze, you are so thoughtful."

The community previously participated in an anti-abduction forum.

The kind-hearted woman from the neighborhood committee saw Jiang Yun's belly and said with a smile, "Oh, it looks like you're going to give birth soon. You two are so pretty, the baby will definitely be very popular in the future."

Jiang Yun smiled and responded, "Thank you for your good wishes, Aunt Li."

Aunt Li added, "But there are so many bad people in society these days. You should be careful when taking your children out. Don't let them get kidnapped. I heard there was a child in the neighborhood next door who was almost taken away by human traffickers. Luckily, the parents discovered him in time."

Jiang Yun and Lu Mingze looked at each other and nodded. Lu Mingze said, "Aunt Li, don't worry. We all know what's going on and we'll definitely be careful."

After returning home, Jiang Yun sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought again.

Lu Mingze walked over, sat down next to her, held her hand and said, "What's wrong?"

She seems to have some prenatal anxiety and has some crazy thoughts.
"Hey, stop looking so sad. It makes me feel bad just looking at you."

Jiang Yun raised her head, looked into Lu Mingze's eyes, and said, "I know, but I just can't control myself. When I think of those bad things, I get panicky."

Lu Mingze held Jiang Yun in his arms, patted her back gently, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. When the baby is born, we will protect him together and watch him grow up healthy and happy."

Jiang Yun hummed.

Then I started to decorate the baby room.

Pink and blue walls, a soft crib, and piles of cute toys and small clothes.

Lu Mingze and Jiang Yun spend time in the nursery every day, imagining what their baby will look like after birth and looking forward to their future life. They cover the walls with cute cartoon stickers and hang colorful balloons, filling the room with a warm and joyful atmosphere.

When Lu Mingze was packing the baby's clothes, he found a small anti-lost backpack with a leash that could be hung on an adult's hand.

He showed it to Jiang Yun: "Look at this. When the baby can walk, we will put this on his back. Then we don't have to worry about him getting lost or being taken away by bad people."

Jiang Yun took the backpack, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "You really can think of everything. This looks quite practical."

Lu Mingze said with a smile: "Of course, for the baby's safety."

At night, the two of them were lying in bed when Jiang Yun suddenly said, "Mingze, what do you think it will be like when we take our baby out for the first time after he's born?"

Lu Mingze thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Of course I'll be very careful. I'll hold him tightly, and you'll just watch from the side, not daring to blink. Then we'll go to the park together and let the baby feel the sunshine and fresh air outside."

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "You must choose a good day, and bring the baby's blanket, bottle, and diapers. Don't leave anything behind."

Lu Mingze gently scratched Jiang Yun's nose and said, "Don't worry, I remember everything and I won't forget anything."

"Well, let's go to the mall again tomorrow. I want to buy some more things."

Lu Mingze touched the back of her hand and said, "Okay."

The next day, Lu Mingze accompanied Jiang Yun to the mall to choose a stroller for their unborn baby.

The mall is bustling with people coming and going, and the sounds of promotions from various stores can be heard one after another.

Jiang Yun walked and stopped, carefully comparing the style, quality and comfort of each stroller, while Lu Mingze patiently gave suggestions and occasionally handed Jiang Yun a cup of warm lemonade.

Just as they were walking into the children's products area, they suddenly heard a noise.

Not far away, a little boy who looked about four or five years old was crying with his face red, surrounded by a group of people.

Lu Mingze and Jiang Yun looked at each other, and out of concern, they slowly walked over.

The little boy was wearing an exquisite children's outfit, and the brand logo on the clothes made it clear that the clothes were worth a lot of money.

A mall staff member squatted in front of the little boy and asked him softly about his situation, but the little boy just cried and couldn't say anything.

At this time, a man in a suit and tie hurried over from the crowd. When he saw the little boy, an anxious and distressed expression appeared on his face. He quickly picked up the little boy and coaxed him softly, "Baby, don't cry, don't cry, Daddy is here."

When the people around saw that the child had found his parents, they gradually dispersed.

Jiang Yun looked at the father and son, feeling deeply moved. "How scared the child must be if he got lost! The parents must be terribly worried too."

Lu Mingze nodded and said, "Yes, from now on, when we take the baby out, we must not be careless at all."

Just as they were about to turn around and leave, they heard a quarrel coming from not far away.

They looked in the direction of the sound out of curiosity and saw the man who had just called himself Dad arguing fiercely with a couple who were also well-dressed.

The man hugged the little boy tightly, his eyes filled with vigilance and anger, while the couple's faces were filled with anxiety, and their voices trembled as they said, "This is our child. We have been looking for him for four years. How could you hide him?"

The man retorted loudly, "You're talking nonsense! This is my son. I've been raising him by my side since he was born. Don't even think about taking him away from me!"

The people around gathered around again, listened to the quarrel between the two sides, and gradually understood what was going on.

It turns out that the little boy was abducted by human traffickers four years ago and has been adopted by the man who is holding him now.

During these four years, the man became a multi-millionaire through his own hard work and provided the little boy with a good living condition.

The little boy's biological parents also made great progress in their careers while searching for their child, and are now billionaires.

With the help of the police, the biological parents finally found the whereabouts of the child, but the adoptive father refused to hand the child over.

He felt that he had given all his love to the child in the past four years and that the child was his life.

The biological parents tearfully recounted the pain and longing they had experienced over the past four years. They said that they had spent every night in self-blame and regret, and had reunited with their child in their dreams countless times.

Jiang Yun heard this and tightly grasped Lu Mingze's hand. She said, "This is so pitiful. The biological parents must have suffered a lot in finding their child, but the adoptive father also has feelings for the child."

Lu Mingze patted Jiang Yun's shoulder gently, sighed, and said, "Yes, this situation is too complicated. But legally speaking, the child must be returned to his biological parents."

People around also started talking about it. Some sympathized with the biological parents, saying that the four years since they lost their child were too painful; others understood the adoptive father, after all, he had raised the child for so many years and poured countless efforts into it.

The little boy was caught in the middle and cried even harder when he saw the emotional adults in front of him.

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly chaotic, the mall staff quickly called the police. Shortly after, the police arrived and took both parties to the station for further mediation. Lu Mingze and Jiang Yun watched this scene, their hearts agitated for a long time.

On the way home, Jiang Yun leaned on Lu Mingze's shoulder and whispered, "Mingze, this child is so innocent. What will he do in the future? He has feelings for his adoptive father, and his biological parents have been looking for him for so long."

Lu Mingze held Jiang Yun's hand and said, "I think both sides can negotiate so that the child can have contact with both sides. The adoptive father can visit the child frequently, and the biological parents should also understand the adoptive father's feelings.

For the child, although he has not suffered any material hardship in these four years, he will definitely be greatly affected psychologically."

Jiang Yun nodded and said, "I hope they can properly resolve this issue and let the child grow up in a loving environment. We must also be more careful in the future and never let our baby experience something like this."

Lu Mingze gently touched Jiang Yun's belly and said softly, "Don't worry, I will protect you with my life."

After returning home, Lu Mingze and Jiang Yun sat on the sofa and talked about this matter again.

Jiang Yun said with emotion: "This child has really never suffered any hardship. His material life has always been good, but he has lost the time with his biological parents. This must be a pity for him."

Lu Mingze said, "Yes, money can't buy family affection, nor can it make up for the years we've missed."
