But today, Gu Zhihan felt sothing was amiss; he had walked seven or eight ters away but hadn't heard the sound of Luo ngng gasping for breath as she usually chased after him.
He couldn't help but frown, stopped in his tracks, and turned around to look—a vast emptiness lood behind him; there was no sign of Luo ngng.
Yet just monts ago, he had clearly seen ngng following him out of the kindergarten's gate.
"Luo ngng?"
Gu Zhihan stared at the crisscrossing alleys while retracing his steps and calling out her na loudly.
"..."
But the empty alley returned no familiar sound in response.
"ngng!!!"
Gu Zhihan was suddenly overco with a bad feeling and hurriedly quickened his pace, eventually breaking into a run, his palm clutching the backpack strap already slick with cold sweat.
Please, let nothing have gone wrong!
anwhile.
Luo ngng had been about to follow Gu Zhihan, but suddenly a middle-aged man with a kind and friendly face briskly walked up to the entrance of the alley.
"Little girl, wait a minute, don't go." He smiled and waved at Luo ngng.
"Uncle, are you calling for sothing?" Luo ngng stopped going after Gu Zhihan instinctively, lifted her little head, and looked at the strange man in front of her, asking in her childish voice.
"Here's the thing, I'm a friend of your parents." The man squatted in front of Luo ngng, squeezing out a gentle smile, and said while stroking her head, "Your parents are visiting our house today, and they asked to pick you up from the kindergarten on my way ho from work."
"Really?"
Luo ngng cupped her chin, her clear eyes twinkling as if pondering the truthfulness of his words.
Didn't her parents just leave for work out of town yesterday? How could they suddenly be back? And why would they be visiting this uncle's house?
"Of course, so co with uncle quickly; otherwise, your parents will beco anxious waiting," the middle-aged man said, his smile warm and coaxing in a soothing voice.
In that era, the ans used by human traffickers to abduct children were still very rudintary, mostly impersonating a child's parents' friend to lure the child away.
Yet, it was precisely such simplistic tricks that could easily deceive young children.
Unfortunately for the trafficker, Luo ng t with soone who did not play by the rules.
"But I don't want to find my parents; I just want to find my husband..."
Luo ngng paid no mind to how her parents had suddenly co back from out of town and after organizing her words, she waved at the trafficker, saying, "You can let my parents enjoy themselves at your house; I'm going to find my husband now! Uncle, bye-bye!"
After finishing her words, Luo ngng turned around and prepared to run into the alley.
The trafficker hadn't expected to encounter a child who cared not for her parents but instead for so ridiculous husband. Caught completely off guard, he froze on the spot for a few seconds, internally screaming in frustration wondering why she wasn't following the script!
After a mont, he finally snapped out of it, seeing that there was no one around, he grew more emboldened, a cold smile appeared on his face as he took long strides towards Luo ngng, grabbing her, "You little brat, you dare run away!"
Cursing under his breath, the trafficker scooped up the small and short ngng and hoisted her onto his shoulder.
"Ah!"
Luo ngng was suddenly lifted into the air, screaming in terror, and also realized that this seemingly kind man was not any friend of her parents at all, but rather a villain. "Bad guy, you're a bad guy, let go, let go!!!"
