American comic book: I, with my abundant martial virtue, love to do good to others.

Months later, all the main perpetrators of the network were apprehended. Manhattan returned to calm, but Lynn remained heavy-hearted. He knew that such crimes wouldn't disappear completely with a single operation, but he also firmly believed that as long as they continued their efforts, more children could be spared harm.

As the operation drew to a close, Lynn returned to his office and reviewed the operation summary report. Mark entered, a relaxed smile on his face: "Detective, breaking news: most of the rescued children have been reunited with their families. The psychological team says their recovery is progressing very well."

Lynn put down the documents in his hand and gave a relieved smile: "That's the most important thing."

The next morning, as Lynn entered his office, he saw Kate standing at the door waiting for him. Her expression held a hint of mischief, and she was carrying a stack of documents, seemingly waiting for him on purpose.

"You're here so early in the morning, what's the rush?" Lynn asked, casually hanging his coat on the back of the chair.

Kate put down the documents, her smile widening. "It's not urgent, but it's quite important to me. My nephew Jamie has recently become obsessed with superhero stories, and you're now his number one idol."

Lynn raised an eyebrow: "Hero? Kate, that label doesn't suit me. I'm just doing my job."

"In his eyes, you're not only a hero, but also incredibly cool," Kate said with a light laugh. "He said that if he had the chance, he'd most like to have 'Super Detective' Lynn accompany him to the amusement park."

Lynn was somewhat surprised: "An amusement park?"

Kate nodded, her tone slightly pleading: "Jamie really wants to go, but his dad's too busy with work to spend time with him. He heard we're friends, so he specifically asked me to ask you. To be honest, I also think he needs some special companionship; he's been under a lot of pressure lately because of changing schools."

Lynn smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "Kate, you know my schedule is very full."

Kate sighed, feigning disappointment. "I know you're busy, but Jamie really adores you. If you had even a little time, just a few hours, it would make him happy for a long time."

Lynn pondered for a moment, then finally nodded. "Alright, Kate. You win. Tell Jamie I'm taking him to the amusement park tomorrow."

Kate's face instantly lit up with a bright smile: "Thank you, Lynn. He'll jump for joy."

The next morning, Lynn arrived at Kate's doorstep on time. Jamie was already waiting at the door, wearing a T-shirt with a superhero design, his cheeks flushed with excitement.

"Uncle Lynn!" Jamie ran over, hugged Lynn's leg, and looked up at him with eyes full of adoration. "Mommy said you really would take me to the amusement park!"

Lynn chuckled and patted his head: "Yeah, but you have to listen to me, or we won't be able to complete all the adventures."

"I promise I will!" Jamie nodded vigorously, his smile as bright as the sun.

Kate stood to the side, watching this scene, a warm smile playing on her lips: "He was so excited this morning that he ate an extra bowl of breakfast. You made his dream come true."

Lynn waved his hand: "It's not quite a dream come true yet, but I'll try my best to make him have fun."

The amusement park entrance was packed with people, but Jamie wasn't afraid at all. Holding Lynn's hand, he excitedly pointed at the various rides and shouted, "I want to ride that! And that one too!"

Lynn looked at him and couldn't help but laugh: "Jamie, you have to take it one step at a time. How about we line up to ride the roller coaster first?"

"Okay!" Jamie jumped up and grabbed Lynn's hand tightly.

While waiting in line, Jamie bombarded him with questions: "Uncle Lynn, have you ever really caught bad guys? Were those bad guys all afraid of you? Do you think being a detective is particularly dangerous?"

Lynn patiently replied, "Yes, I've arrested a lot of bad guys. But they weren't afraid of me, they were afraid of the law. As for danger, my job is indeed a bit risky, but protecting everyone's safety is worth it."

Jamie listened intently, and finally concluded, "When I grow up, I want to be a detective, just like you, to protect others!"

Lynn smiled and nodded: "Then you need to study hard now, this is the first step to becoming a detective."

As the roller coaster sped along, Jamie initially kept his eyes tightly shut, but quickly overcame his fear, opening his arms and shouting, "Uncle Lynn, this is so much fun! Again, please!"

Over the next few hours, they rode the carousel, the log flume, and the bumper cars. Jamie had boundless energy, and although Lynn was a little tired, she was infected by Jamie's enthusiasm and enjoyed a childhood reunion with him.

At lunchtime, the three sat in the amusement park's restaurant. Jamie, eating a hot dog, excitedly recounted his feelings: "Today was the happiest day of my life! Uncle Lynn, do you think I was brave?"

Lynn handed him a glass of juice and said with a smile, "Of course you're brave. You not only rode the roller coaster today, but you also went to the haunted house all by yourself. Not all kids dare to do that."

Jamie proudly puffed out his chest: "Then I'll definitely be as brave as you someday!"

Kate, watching this scene, couldn't help but interject, "Jamie, being brave isn't just about catching bad guys, it's also about not giving up when facing difficulties, like changing schools or making new friends."

Jamie nodded, looking at Kate thoughtfully. "Mom's right. I'll try my best to make new friends and not let you down."

Lynn patted his head gently and said, "As long as you work hard, Jamie, we will all be proud of you."

As evening fell and the amusement park lights came on, Jamie looked a little tired, but a satisfied smile remained on his face. On the way home, he leaned on Lynn's shoulder and whispered, "Uncle Lynn, you're amazing. Today was the best day of my life."

Lynn smiled at Kate, her eyes filled with gratitude and warmth. Lynn softly replied to Jamie, "As long as you're happy, I'm happy."

When Lynn dropped them off at their doorstep, Jamie was already asleep in Kate's arms. Kate whispered to Lynn, "Thank you, Lynn. Today was really special for him."

Lynn waved her hand: "You're welcome, it's what I should do. Jamie is a good kid, he deserves it."

Watching Kate carry Jamie into the house, Lynn got back into his car, started the engine, and drove towards Manhattan in the night.

The next morning, Lynn had just come out of the headquarters' routine meeting when he saw Jamie standing at the office door, his little face tense, as if he had something important to say. When he saw Lynn, he immediately ran over and took his hand.

"Uncle Lynn, I have something very important to tell you!" Jamie's urgent and serious voice startled Lynn slightly.

"What is it?" Lynn crouched down to meet his gaze, trying to make her tone relaxed. "Take your time, don't rush me."

Jamie looked around to make sure no one else was nearby, then lowered his voice and said, "There's a bad kid at my school. He often scares other students and breaks the desks in the classroom. Nobody dares to go near him. I think he must be a bad person."

Lynn raised an eyebrow, amused by Jamie's earnestness, but instead of jumping to conclusions, he asked, "Jamie, are you sure he's a bad guy? Or is he just a little strange, making people hesitant to approach him?"

"He's really weird!" Jamie nodded vigorously. "He always sits alone in the corner and doesn't talk to us. Last time I saw his eyes suddenly turn gold, and it looked like he broke the table while squeezing it!"

Lynn's heart skipped a beat. Golden eyes and unusual power—it sounded like a mutant's ability. He gently patted Jamie's shoulder and said softly, "Jamie, I know you wanted to protect your classmate, that's why you told me this. Uncle will go to the school to check and make sure this classmate is alright, okay?"

Jamie nodded, relieved, and said, "Okay! Uncle, I'll take you to him!"

In the afternoon, Lynn accompanied Jamie to the school and, with the principal's permission, found the "bad kid" Jamie had mentioned. He was sitting in a corner of the playground, head down, arms wrapped around his knees, looking out of place among the other children.

When Lynn approached, he visibly stiffened, glancing at Lynn out of the corner of his eye, but quickly lowered his head, trying to avoid Lynn's gaze.

"You're Allen, right?" Lynn knelt down beside him, her voice gentle. "I'm Lynn, Jamie's uncle. I heard you haven't been feeling well lately. Can I talk to you?"

Allen looked up, his eyes indeed a pale gold. He looked at Lynn nervously, like a frightened little animal, and asked in a low voice, "Are you here to scold me too?"

"Of course not." Lynn shook her head and smiled slightly. "I just want to know why you always sit here alone."

Allen was silent for a moment, then finally said in a low voice, "They all hate me. They say I'm a monster, that my eyes are scary. And once when I accidentally broke a table, they all laughed at me and called me a vandal."

Lynn felt a pang of pain in his heart. He realized that this child wasn't a bad person, but rather was being misunderstood because of his abilities. He sighed, his tone softening further: "Alan, you're not a monster. You're just a little different from others, but that doesn't mean you're bad."

Allen looked up at him, a hint of doubt and grievance in his eyes: "But they don't want to play with me, and they don't talk to me."

Lynn reached out and gently patted his shoulder: "I know it's hard to feel isolated, but have you ever thought that maybe they just don't understand you? If you try to tell them who you are, maybe things will turn out differently."

Allen lowered his head, seemingly pondering Lynn's words. Lynn waited patiently, not rushing to offer advice. After a while, Allen finally spoke: "But what if they'll be even more afraid of me if I tell them?"

"That's because they don't understand," Lynn said. "Fear often stems from the unknown. If you let them get to know you, they'll find you're not what they thought you were."

To help Alan, Lynn contacted the school's teachers and worked with them to develop some solutions, such as arranging for Alan to participate in group activities, encouraging other children to approach him, and also helping Alan control his abilities to avoid unintentionally frightening others.

Over the next few days, Lynn frequently visited Alan at school. He noticed that Alan was gradually integrating into his classmates' lives, and although the process was slow, he had at least taken the first step.

Once, Lynn saw Alan and Jamie playing a game together. Jamie even took his hand and introduced him to the other children: "This is Alan. He's amazing; he can lift me up with one hand!"

Allen gave a shy smile. Although he was a little uncomfortable, the initial fear and inferiority in his eyes were gone.

After school, Jamie ran up to Lynn excitedly and said, "Uncle Lynn, Allen is playing with us now! He's really fun, and he even taught me how to fold origami!"

Lynn patted his head and smiled with relief: "I've said it before, he's not a bad kid, he just needs someone to give him a chance."

Jamie nodded and said seriously, "If I encounter strange classmates in the future, I will definitely try to understand them first, and I won't assume they are bad people so easily."

Lynn felt a deep sense of satisfaction. He knew that helping Alan had not only changed a child's life, but also taught Jamie and his classmates about tolerance and understanding. This was the outcome he, as a detective, most wanted to see—not just protection, but also education and guidance, allowing everyone to find their place.

On her way home, Lynn glanced back in the direction of the school, thinking to herself: Perhaps this is more important than catching the bad guys—teaching these children to accept each other and find a common language in diversity. This is true protection, protecting their future.

After school, Lynn decided to visit Alan's home. He felt that Alan's isolation and low self-esteem stemmed not only from the school environment but also likely from his family situation. Lynn hoped to learn more about the boy's story by talking to his family.

Allen's home was located in an old neighborhood on the edge of Manhattan; the building was somewhat dilapidated, but the streets were clean and tidy. Lynn knocked on the door, and after a while, an elderly man with white hair opened it. There was a hint of wariness in his eyes, but when he saw that Lynn was dressed casually, a kind smile appeared on his face.

"Hello, I'm Lynn, a friend of Allen's," Lynn introduced herself in a gentle tone. "I'd like to talk to you about Allen's situation. May I come in?"

The old man hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and opened the door: "Please come in, I am his grandfather, my name is Henry."

After Lynn entered the room, he looked around and found that the furnishings were simple but clean. There were several family photos hanging on the wall, one of which was a picture of Allen as a child with a middle-aged couple.

"Allen's parents?" Lynn asked, pointing to the photo.

Henry's expression immediately darkened. He slowly sat down and sighed, "Yes... that was three years ago. They disappeared."

"Missing?" Lynn sat opposite Henry, her eyes filled with concern. "Can you tell me what happened?" (End of Chapter)
