As a biological mother, Yu Lian understood her child's personality and felt that someone must have said something to him privately behind the adults' backs.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come.
But after asking everyone in the family, no one said anything behind my back.
In addition, this child starts playing games as soon as he gets off school, and these past two days, with Yu Lian away, he has completely immersed himself in the game.
Aside from eating and drinking, he basically doesn't interact with anyone else.
The He family suspected that they might have overheard something from classmates at school.
He Xinglan rushed to the school immediately, but couldn't get any information from her nephew's best friend.
Instead, I learned from his classmates that he would secretly run to school, slip over the fence, and go to the arcade to challenge people to matches.
"A duel?! Who would he challenge? He's so young, he'd have to challenge one of the older kids at the arcade!"
The little boy with glasses waved his hand: "Auntie, it's not that kind of showdown. He Ningze is amazing. I've seen a really cool older brother bring him back over the wall several times. Everyone really likes him, but he doesn't let us tell anyone."
"Oh, I see... Could any of you take me there?"
When He Xinglan made this suggestion, the children all shook their heads, indicating that they were afraid.
"Only someone as daring as He Ningze would dare to go. Those people really hate us kids; if we go to their territory, we'll get beaten up."
"Thanks, kids. Take this and buy some ice cream. See you next time."
Goodbye, Auntie!
He Xinglan said goodbye to her teacher and, filled with questions, found the arcade behind the school.
Although it was behind the school, it took her a while to find it. The location was very hidden, and there was no conspicuous sign.
If she hadn't seen a few teenage boys dressed differently, she probably would have had to search for a while longer.
"Have you seen this child?"
Several young people looked at the photos that He Xinglan handed over.
Their expressions changed instantly, and they all shook their heads and quickly left.
At this point, He Xinglan knew she had found a clue.
She quickened her pace and left, just like the other three.
……
On the train, many passengers boarded at the stop before arriving in Haishi, and the people next to He Ningze changed one after another.
"Little friend, where are your parents?"
When the train arrived at the station, the flight attendant changed, and He Ningze, as usual, made up some random story.
"I'm going to the restroom, Auntie."
"But the toilets in the two nearby carriages were empty. To be honest."
"Auntie, if you don't believe me, wait a moment. My mom's duffel bag is still here."
"Okay, I'll come back in a bit."
But He Ningze wasn't about to sit idly by. After watching the train conductor move to the next carriage, he carefully headed in the opposite direction.
He walked all the way to the back of the train, using the luggage around him to cover himself.
Inside the warehouse, amidst the narrow gaps between the luggage, He Ningze listened to his own heart pounding.
I glanced at the time; the train was leaving in about three minutes.
He counted down in his mind until the train slowly started moving.
He breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
But the discomfort in the back of his neck made him turn his head. An old man with a white beard grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.
He Ningze was moved to an open area: "Whose child is this? How dare you sit on my luggage? Do you know what's inside?"
"I didn't sit; I just squatted in the gap in the middle."
As the two children were arguing, the flight attendant came over.
"Excuse me, sir, if any of your personal belongings are damaged, the child's parents will compensate you for the damage upon arrival at the station."
Upon hearing this, the old man became so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared at them: "What do you mean? Are you saying I'm deliberately trying to scam you?"
"No, no. It's just that this kid secretly ran away from home and took a train from the south of the city all the way north without telling his family. Now all the railway police are looking for him."
He Ningze looked at the train conductor, whom he had underestimated, and secretly felt deflated.
"How did you recognize me?"
"Little friend, go sit down in the front and be a good boy/girl. You'll get off at the next stop. The police officer is waiting for you."
The old man glanced at the little brat and thought to himself, "What a coincidence."
He crouched down to check the gifts he had packed for his granddaughter in his luggage.
"Thank goodness it didn't break. If it had, I would have made that brat pay."
He Ningze intended to go to his mother quietly, without anyone noticing. However, he hadn't been gone long before he was discovered.
He was annoyed by his shortcomings and secretly vowed that he would never let anyone discover them next time.
Soon we arrived at the next stop.
He Ningze followed the railway police out of the platform. He waited in the police station for a long time, but still didn't see his mother.
Police officers on patrol duty can only send one colleague to watch over him.
"Uncle, is this a legitimate police station? It doesn't look professional at all."
The officer put down his pen: "Little boy, you're quite the little devil. What seems a bit off about this place?"
"Not only is this place dilapidated, but there isn't even a working phone. If the door weren't open and people weren't coming and going outside, I would have suspected you were human traffickers trying to kidnap me."
The police officer burst into laughter, amused by the child's words.
"You're right, kid. I hope you'll have the opportunity to write a letter of recommendation and submit it to our director's office."
He Ningze and the others got hungry, so he took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, and then several bags of snacks.
"You're hungry? Why didn't you say so earlier? This isn't enough to fill your stomach. Come with me."
The police officers took He Ningze to a small restaurant outside the train station.
"What kind of noodles do you want? It's on me."
"No need, I have my own money. My mom said, 'One should not accept rewards without merit.'"
The police officer saw the foreign currency he pulled out and laughed, "Little boy, you can't spend your money here."
He Ningze blushed. He had spent all the money he had exchanged on the way here to avoid trouble.
There's only some money left that I took out of my piggy bank.
"Okay... alright, consider it a loan. I'll return it to you when my mom comes."
The officer stopped talking and let him eat noodles.
The small shop was packed with people passing by, all looking for a cheap and delicious meal.
Suddenly, the two people who were seriously slurping their noodles looked up and saw an old man with a white beard sitting opposite them.
An old man and a young child spoke at the same time: "It's you!"
"Officer, is this your child?"
"No, his parents will pick him up from the train station in a little while."
The old man nodded and said no more.
After finishing their noodles, the two left first.
He Ningze looked forward to seeing his mother, but she didn't come even when it got dark.
The officers were hesitant and made several calls. The reply from the other end was that they couldn't get in touch and the person was on their way.
He Ningze slept at the police station until the next morning.
"Little girl, wake up quickly, your mom and dad are here to pick you up."
He Ningze opened his eyes groggily, and when he heard the policewoman address him, he became much more awake.
He then got down from the ground and said firmly, "Auntie, I'm a boy, don't call me 'little girl.' My mother said 'little girl' is for girls!"
The policewoman turned her head and said incredulously, "You're a boy!"
He Ningze grumbled, dissatisfied, "Of course I'm a boy. You didn't think I was a girl, did you?"
Meanwhile, in Haishi, hundreds of kilometers away.
Yu Lianzhen stared expressionlessly at the dark-skinned girl in front of her, who had been brought in by the railway police.
