Chapter 306: Who’s Behind This?

Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars

Lu Jiao was about to speak when more footsteps approached. They turned around and saw that it was Xie Yunjin and Lu Gui.

When Xie Yunjin saw Lu Jiao and the Third Born in one piece, his heart finally settled down.

He leaped over and asked caringly, “Lu Jiao, are you okay?”

Lu Jiao shook her head, “I’m fine but the Third Born is in shock. I need to get him some medication to calm his anxiety.”

“Okay.” 𝗳𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦

Xie Yunjin’s face was unspeakably gloomy once he saw how scared his son was. He stared coldly at the knocked-out kidnapper and said to officer Zhao, “You cannot let this kind of criminal get off easy.”

Officer Zhao was about to nod when Lu Jiao voiced, “I suspect they are not human traffickers. They were targeting us. There were so many people on the street and so many different children – why did they pick ours? It’s also the middle of the day. I suspect they wanted to capture me in addition to taking the children. ”

It was very likely that taking her son was just bait to lure her out.

Xie Yunjin’s expression turned even uglier. He said to officer Zhao, “Officer Zhao, you have to find out who’s behind this. If you hear anything, please let me know.”

Officer Zhao nodded, “Yunjin, don’t worry, I will figure this out.”

Xie Yunjin nodded and officer Zhao left with the kidnapper.

Xie Yunjin went back to staring at Lu Jiao and the Third Born and noticed that they were both shaken up.

Xie Yunjin’s heart hurt and wanted to embrace both of them. However, he knew that would be inappropriate and only ended up taking Lu Jiao’s hand.

“Are you okay? You don’t look well.”

Lu Jiao didn’t struggle her hand away. She was very scared right now and needed someone there for her.

She wasn’t scared that Xie Yun in would blame her for this. She was scared because she was once taken away by a human trafficker when she was little. She was trapped for three days before the police saved her. Those three days, however, were hell on earth. She was locked inside a dark room and she didn’t dare to cry or scream in case someone would hit her. There was no food nor anything to drink. Nobody asked her if she needed to use the washroom.

When that man took the Third Born, she remembered her own nightmare and was terrified that the Third Born felt the same. This was why she went crazy chasing after that man to save the Third Born.

“For a moment, I was terrified that they would take the Third Born away.” Lu Jiao’s voice was coarse and she felt hazy.

The Third Born, who was in her arms, heard her. He was originally horrified but because of his mother, he felt better. He reached up to pat Lu Jiao’s face,

“Mommy, it’s okay.”

He then wrapped his arms around Lu Jiao’s neck and leaned into her shoulder.

All he wanted was to stay with her.

Since Lu Jiao was holding onto the Third Born with one arm, Xie Yunjin let go of her other hand and reached out to the Third Born. Pity though, as the Third Born didn’t want him right now and only wanted to stay with his mom.

Lu Jiao whispered, “I can hold him.”

She then started to walk back. Xie Yunjin put his arm around Lu Jiao to stabilize her, and the two of them walked back without saying a word.

The presence of Xie Yunjin calmed Lu Jiao’s anxious heart. By the time they got back to the main street, Lu Jiao felt like herself again.

She smiled at Xie Yunjin, “Thank you, I feel much better now.”

Xie Yunjin studied her and saw that she truly was calmer. He sighed in relief,

“Don’t worry, I will visit officer Zhao later to find out who was behind this.”

If Lu Jiao was right about this being a targeted crime then it should be easy to find who was behind this.

Lu Jiao’s only been here for a couple of days and hasn’t wronged anyone. Only a few of them felt frustrated by her and there were even fewer people who had the power to pull this.

Therefore, this investigation should be an easy one.

Xie Yunjin gestured to the other three children, who were running towards him, “Let’s go home.”

“Okay.”

The First, Second, and Fourth Born nodded then looked up to their mother and the Third Born. Seeing that they looked ill, they said worriedly, “Mommy, are you okay?”

“Third Born, are you okay?”

Lu Jiao patted their heads, “We’re okay. Don’t worry. Let’s go home.”

“Okay.”

The family went back home in their carriage. However, because there were so many people, plus Xie Yunjin was here now, the carriage wouldn’t fit. In the end, Lu Gui, Lin Dong, and Feng Zhi decided to run back home.

Xie Yunjin said to Lu Jiao, “We have so many people living with us, one carriage isn’t enough anymore. We need to buy another one, which should be easy. However, we need to get another coachman.”

Lu Jiao raised an eyebrow and thought about it, “We’ll ask that same grandma to bring us some people who know how to ride horses.”

Xie Yunjin nodded, “Okay.”

Nobody else talked after. Because of what happened, all four children were in shock and had lost their energy.

Xie Yunjin noticed this and the air around him grew cold. He silently vowed to drag out whoever was behind this. He wasn’t going to forgive that person.

By the time everyone got home, it was noon. Aunt Hua had cooked lunch but nobody had much appetite.

Lu Jiao got the Third Born some medication for his anxiety. She asked Feng Zhi to brew it and feed it to the Third Born. She herself took the children to take their nap.

Xie Yunjin and Lin Dong went to find officer Zhao to see if he has an update on the kidnapper.

After Lu Jiao got up, she went to organize all the new things she bought with the four little ones this morning. Though shaken up, everyone felt better after some rest. Even the Third Born found the energy to organize his study room.

The craftsmen had finished making the slides, fake cave, and other equipment for the playground. They’ve moved on to making bookshelves, desks, and other furniture.

The furniture was much easier to make compared to the playground. They should finish up everything after one more day.

The craftsmen admired Lu Jiao very much for being able to think up so many creative ways to entertain the children. No wonder the four little ones were so smart and quick-witted. With an education like this, they naturally grow smart..
