Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 372 Noble_1
Chapter 372: Chapter 372 Noble_1
Many people don’t know that the happiest life in the world is actually an ordinary one.
Because ordinary means there will be no great joys or sorrows, it means not too good, not too bad, no insurmountable obstacles. Minor hardships may seem tough at the time but looking back, they are nothing much.
If An Kefang had been born into an ordinary family, maybe she would still have been deceived, but at worst, it would be a little heartbreak, and there would always come a day when she’d become a bit smarter.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t.
Her family’s crimes were too numerous to be recorded, doomed to downfall, and she, the innocent party, was also doomed to be implicated.
So, don’t look at Xiao Ming’s bad attitude, his constant spewing of venomous words; in reality, he was hoping that this girl could quickly accept reality and mature.
Although he couldn’t change anything, at least a more mature and strong mindset would make it easier for her to survive on her own in the future.
However, no matter how good his intentions were, the pain in this process was inevitable for An Kefang.
In the span of a day and a night, having one’s worldview shattered, no one could face that calmly.
"Mr. Xiao,"
Before he knew it, An Kefang had once again grabbed onto Xiao Ming’s sleeve, tightly, as if clutching a lifesaving straw.
"Please tell me, how can I, like you, face all that darkness and malice with a joking, even villainous, attitude?"
Xiao Ming shook his head, "That question, everyone has their own answer. My mindset isn’t suitable for you, and you can’t learn it.
Because the price is too high.
An Kefang showed a look of despair, her lively eyes quickly losing their luster.
In the end, Xiao Ming couldn’t bear it and sighed, "Alright! Although I can’t give you a standard answer, I can try to make you a little bit smarter in your foolishness."
A glimmer of hope sparked in An Kefang’s eyes, "What do you mean?"
"There is still goodness in this world, you have to believe that, and not blindly so."
Xiao Ming grinned and instructed Qingfeng, "Go to Heshi Village on the outskirts of the county."
The Yahe County city wasn’t large; Heshi Village was just outside of North City, so it only took Qingfeng about seventeen or eighteen minutes to park the car at the entrance of the village.
Xiao Ming closed his eyes and reminisced for a moment, "If I remember correctly, the house number should be 96, a dark red gate, a not-so-small courtyard, and there’s a dog.
So, Qingfeng, be careful. There’s no need to alarm them, just observe how many people there are in the courtyard, whether there are cages, and if there are cages, whether there are children inside."
"Understood."
Qingfeng opened the door and got out of the car. In just a few swift moves, he disappeared into the woods outside the village.
An Kefang was amazed, "What does your nephew do? He’s so skilled!"
"He’s a thief."
"A thief?"
"Yes, also known as a burglar, pickpocket, the gentleman on the beam, the master pickpocket..."
"Stop!" An Kefang interrupted him, "I was expressing my surprise, not asking how many aliases a thief has."
Xiao Ming laughed, "See, my female companion is Little Day, the errand boy I take out is a thief—do you still believe I’m a good person?"
"I think, even if you’re not a good person, at least you’re not a bad person," An Kefang said earnestly.
"So sure? Aren’t you afraid that everything I’ve done today is just a performance to deceive you?"
An Kefang pulled at the corner of her mouth, "This might sound a bit metaphysical, and I guess you’ll laugh at me again.
When I was very little, a master once told me that I have the life of someone destined to have a noble benefactor, always having a heaven-sent noble appear at a critical moment to turn bad luck into good.
From childhood to adulthood, my luck has indeed been fairly good, despite constant bumps in the road, but each time I’ve managed to get through safely.
Just like... like this time.
You don’t know, before coming here, I was prepared to offer myself to Hao Xiangyu.
But we hadn’t even entered Qingyang when I heard he was injured by you and hospitalized.
At night, I was deceived into seducing and entrapping you, but the result was that I saw through the ugly faces of those around me.
So..."
"So, you think I’m your noble benefactor?"
"Yes," An Kefang nodded, "If you’re a noble benefactor, of course you’re worth believing!"
Xiao Ming was at a loss for words.
Because he also felt that this girl was indeed very lucky; it just so happened that she had met him, who had been reborn.
If it had been any other man, the outcome would never have been like this.
At that moment, the phone rang; it was Qingfeng calling.
"Uncle, it’s confirmed. There are a total of three adults in the courtyard, seven children, and four of them are locked in cages. The oldest is around ten years old, and the youngest looks four or five.
And... they’re all disabled!"
By the end, Qingfeng was gritting his teeth, clearly struggling to contain his fury.
He himself was an orphan who had been trafficked and could deeply relate to the suffering of the children in that courtyard.
"Watch carefully, I’m going to call the police right now.
If anyone tries to escape, you can deal with them as you see fit. Just make sure there’s no evidence that can be traced back to you."
"Understood, thank you, uncle!"
Xiao Ming laughed and hung up the phone, then took out another phone from a different pocket and dialed the emergency number.
Having listened in on the whole process, An Kefang suddenly had an epiphany, her eyes blazing with possibility. She gripped Xiao Ming’s arm, excitement and disbelief in her voice, "That courtyard... does it have... have..."
"Ah, you’ve finally had a smart moment."
Xiao Ming was also very happy, "If I’m not mistaken, Ge Tiancheng’s lost little son should be in that courtyard."
"Oh, my God!"
An Kefang’s eyes were wet with excitement, unsure of how to express her feelings. Overwhelmed, she pulled Xiao Ming close and planted a firm kiss on his cheek.
"Xiao Ming, thank you!"
