A domineering country girl flirts with her son, and Commander Huo can't resist.

Huo Ning was still sleeping at the Jinshui Town Health Center.

"Mom, is Aning able to come home today?" Huo Chen asked.

"Yes, the doctor will come to check again this afternoon. If everything is fine, we'll take your little sister home."

Huo Chen looked at Huo Ning's fair face and couldn't help but pinch it.

"Mom, I want to buy two pretty hair accessories for my little sister, and I'll use my own allowance."

"Okay, let's go to the department store now before Aning wakes up."

The department store is only seven or eight hundred meters away from the health center.

Qiao An, holding Huo Chen's hand, walked with the two of them to the department store.

Due to policy influences, the items sold in department stores have recently become more brightly colored.

It's the weekend, and the mall is very crowded.

Qiao An held onto Huo Chen tightly, afraid of being separated by the crowd.

Joanne could clearly sense that an era of change had arrived.

This is the golden period for making money in novels.

"Mom, look how pretty those hair accessories are! My little sister will definitely love them!"

Huo Chen pointed to the pink pearl-encrusted hair accessory hanging behind the counter.

"I want to buy that for my sister," Huo Chen shouted to the saleswoman behind the counter, standing on tiptoe. "Auntie, I want two hair accessories."

When the saleswoman saw the handsome young man wanting to buy a hair accessory, she decided to tease him and started joking around with him.

"What do boys need hair accessories for? Your own hair is so short, you can't possibly use it."

Huo Chen took out his small wallet. "Auntie, the hair accessory is for my little sister. She's sick."

"Wow! What a good brother! Take your time to choose. There are so many kinds of hair accessories. Pick two of the prettiest ones for your little sister."

Suddenly, four or five people rushed over to the counter.

Qiao An lost her balance and was pushed to the side, while Huo Chen was instantly swallowed up by the crowd.

As the group dispersed, Qiao An's heart sank.

Huo Chen, who was just standing in front of the counter, has disappeared!

Qiao An suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

"Did you see that little boy who was standing next to me just now?" Joan asked the sales clerk.

The waiter was busy and didn't notice what was happening outside the counter.

But she was deeply impressed by Huo Chen. He was good-looking and dressed smartly, and he looked like a child from a wealthy family.

But she was talking to other guests and didn't notice where Huo Chen went.

"I...I didn't see it either."

Upon hearing this, Joanne left the counter without looking back and ran out of the department store.

These days there are many human traffickers who specialize in abducting two- or three-year-old boys, with the best outcome being that they sell them to someone else as their son.

Some cruel human traffickers maim children and force them to beg.

Joan dared not think any further.

After running out of the department store, Joan looked around. The street was full of people, many of whom were holding children's hands.

She couldn't find Huo Chen at all.

Looking back now, it's likely that human traffickers had their eyes on Huo Chen long ago.

The crowd that surged in just now was probably all their people.

If someone kidnaps a child, they will leave the mall immediately, and might even drug the child and disguise them.

Even if you pass by them, you might not recognize your own child.

Qiao An quickly calmed down. Searching blindly like this was definitely not going to work; she had to think of a solution.

We must call the police immediately.

Qiao An rushed to the police station and smashed open the door to Jiang Yushun's office.

"Chiang!"

"My son... my son is missing, someone has kidnapped him!"

"What?"

Jiang Yushun was having a meeting with several veteran police officers when he heard Qiao An's anxious voice and suddenly stood up.

"This is outrageous! I was just worried about not being able to catch them, damn it! These heartless bastards!"

"Come with me, everyone, let's go find the child!"

Everyone stood up and started to leave, but Qiao An stopped Jiang Yushun.

Jiang Yushun immediately understood what she was going to do.

He closed the door behind him as he went out.

Before closing the door, Jiang Yushun said to Qiao An, "We'll wait for you outside."

As soon as the door closed, Qiao An took out a [Tracking Talisman] from her spatial storage.

Fortunately, once inside the department store, Huo Chen felt hot and took off his coat.

The coat is currently in Joanne's hands.

Joan put her coat and the talisman together and burned them.

Before long, the red thread appeared before her eyes.

Qiao An rushed out of the office and ran to the police station courtyard.

In the cellar of warehouse No. 3, Huliang Road, Jinshui Town.

It was dark and damp, without even a window.

Only one tungsten filament bulb emitted a dim yellow-orange light.

Several small figures were huddled in the corner.

A faint sobbing sound drifted out from time to time.

Huo Chen lowered his head, his expression unreadable.

"Could he be an idiot?"

"You can't sell a fool."

In the dimly lit room, the two men looked at the little boy in the corner.

"Impossible. I saw him talking to a sales clerk at the department store."

"Such a handsome little boy could fetch a lot of money, right?"

"That's right."

After speaking, the dark-skinned, thin man walked to a corner and looked down at the children.

He raised his foot and kicked Huo Chen in the shoulder.

Huo Chen groaned and lay down on the ground.

"Little thing, speak!"

Huo Chen stared at him coldly, without opening his mouth.

"Damn it, you little brat, I'll let you talk!"

The dark-skinned, thin man grabbed Huo Chen by the collar and pulled him up.

"If you don't speak, I'll smash you to death!"

Huo Chen, panting heavily, stared wide-eyed. "My mom works at the police station! She'll definitely arrest all of you bad guys!"

The thin, dark-skinned man was taken aback. "Police station?"

He glanced at his companion.

With a sudden release, Huo Chen fell onto the haystack.

"Let's go upstairs first and discuss it with Sister Meng. I'm afraid we can't sell this child."

The dark-skinned, thin man and another man climbed a ladder, opened a hidden door, and slipped out.

A ray of bright white sunlight shone in, and the cellar quickly returned to normal.

"Don't be afraid, my mom will definitely come to save us. My mom is very strong."

Huo Chen gently comforted the three children next to him who were about the same age as him.

The children were both boys and girls, and everyone's face was covered in tears and snot. Only one little girl seemed much calmer than the others.

"Is your mother really a police officer?" the little girl asked in a clear and crisp voice.

Huo Chen paused, somewhat embarrassed, "She...she's not a police officer, but she works at the police station."

The little girl's bright eyes dimmed instantly.

"But my mom is amazing, she... she can take on three people by herself, she will definitely come to save us."

Huo Chen tried his best to explain, but he was just too young and had a limited vocabulary, so all he could say over and over was "amazing".

"Forget it, you'd better stop making a scene. If you make a big fuss, they won't feed you and they might even beat you." The little girl crawled over and sat down next to him.

Huo Chen then noticed that the little girl had several whip marks on her arm.

"Did they hit you?"

"I tried to run away a few days ago, but I was caught and brought back," the young woman said calmly.

"My name is Wen Xiaoxiao, what's your name?"

"Huo Chen".

Huo Chen lifted Wen Xiaoxiao's arm and gently blew on the wound.

"Mom said that if you breathe on it, the pain will go away. Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Looking at the serious-looking Huo Chen, Wen Xiaoxiao felt like an adult looking at a child.

At this moment, Joan was staring intently at the red line in front of her.
