He Ying

At this time, the security guard lowered the rope and pulled Ye Fengwu and the three of them up.

At this moment, the young woman finally woke up. When she saw her child was safe and sound, she immediately knelt down to thank Ye Fengwu and Yang Shuxi.

Yang Shuxi helped the young woman up and said, "Sister, you must never do such dangerous things again in the future."

The young woman hurriedly nodded: "I won't, I won't."

In today's world of advanced information, mobile phones have become indispensable to people. Many parents are distracted by their phones and neglect their children's mischievousness and weak safety awareness.

Getting lost, getting stuck in escalators, and even pulling the wrong child in crowded shopping malls are common occurrences around us.

At this time, Ye Fengwu took Jing Si back from Zhang Ya's hands.

Jing Si's eyes were also full of admiration and pride. She smiled and said, "Uncle, you're so awesome. You didn't let them kill the two tigers."

Jing Si was not boastful because Ye Fengwu fought with the tigers, but was happy that Ye Fengwu had saved the two tigers. This was undoubtedly proof that Jing Si had a kind heart despite her young age.

...

At the same time, 200 kilometers away from Haihua City, near a remote rural village in the mountains.

A luxury BMW was driving on a not very wide road.

All the way, Qin Qinghan's face was always worried. Chen Nan, who was next to her, looked at the navigation on her phone and said, "Qinghan, the village ahead is Hejia Village."

Hearing this, Qin Qinghan tightened her grip on the steering wheel, but her foot eased off the accelerator.

Sensing Qin Qinghan's abnormality, Chen Nan pursed her lips and stared at Qin Qinghan's hesitant face. She said unhappily, "Qinghan, what kind of spell did that guy cast on you?"

"Ah, what are you talking about?" Qin Qinghan glanced at Chen Nan, somewhat at a loss for words.

Chen Nan snorted, "Don't pretend. I can see that your heart has probably been captured by that bastard, right?"

Qin Qinghan didn't speak, but her beautiful eyes were filled with endless bitterness.

Even she herself was not sure what her feelings were towards him. She only knew that when he was by her side, she felt very relieved.

In the past, when he bullied her, she would get very angry and furious. But now, she had gradually lost her resistance against him.

If she hadn't seen the birthmark on his back, she might never have investigated him.

Even now, she still regretted coming here. No matter what the result was in Hejia Village, it was something she didn't want to know.

Relying on the navigation, Qin Qinghan's car finally arrived at the entrance of Hejia Village.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman riding an electric bike suddenly came over to meet them.

Chen Nan said, "Qinghan, stop the car. I'll go ask."

With a nervous and complicated mood, Qin Qinghan parked the car at the side of the road.

Chen Nan got out of the car and stopped the middle-aged woman. She asked very politely, "Auntie, is this Hejia Village?"

The middle-aged woman glanced at the luxury car in front of her, her eyes full of envy.

At this time, Qin Qinghan also got out of the car and nodded politely at the middle-aged woman.

The woman looked Chen Nan up and down, then looked at Qin Qinghan again. The surprise on her face grew even thicker. She had lived most of her life but had never seen such beautiful girls, especially the one by the car who looked like a fairy.

The middle-aged woman spoke in a local rural accent, "You two are from the city, right? You're so beautiful."

Chen Nan smiled awkwardly and asked again, "Auntie, we're looking for a friend who lives in Hejia Village."

The middle-aged woman nodded and said, "This is Hejia Village. Who are you looking for?"

Chen Nan hesitated for a moment before saying, "We're looking for He Ying. Does she live here?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman looked puzzled and said, "He Ying? I've never heard of this person. Are you sure she's from our village?"

Qin Qinghan and Chen Nan were both slightly surprised.

Chen Nan was still a little unwilling to give up and continued, "Auntie, you should remember her. Eight years ago, she..."

"Chen Nan..."

Qin Qinghan hurried over and stopped Chen Nan, signaling her not to say any more.

Only then did Chen Nan realize that she was too eager. How could she just casually talk about that kind of thing? If the villagers didn't know about the incident, it would only cause more trouble for the girl if she brought it up.

In this regard, Qin Qinghan was clearly much more prudent than Chen Nan.

Qin Qinghan said to the middle-aged woman, "Thank you, auntie."

The middle-aged woman waved her hand, then rode away on her electric bike.

Qin Qinghan said, "Chen Nan, let's go back."

Hearing this, Chen Nan said, "We've come all this way, how can we go back now? Let's go ask around some more."

Qin Qinghan had no choice but to get back in the car and continue driving into the village.

When they reached the village entrance, Chen Nan got out of the car to ask someone.

Qin Qinghan didn't get out of the car. Her eyes were still full of tension, and her palms were sweaty.

Soon, Chen Nan got back in the car. She frowned and said, "That's strange. Why have they never heard of He Ying's name? Could we have come to the wrong place? It shouldn't be. The village in the information is right here."

Hearing this, the nervousness on Qin Qinghan's face gradually turned complicated.

Chen Nan snorted, "Something's not quite right here."

Chen Nan seemed to start suspecting something.

Knock knock knock!

Suddenly, Qin Qinghan's car window was knocked on. The two of them turned to look, only to see a woman in her fifties standing next to the car.

Qin Qinghan rolled down the window and politely said, "Hello, auntie."

The middle-aged woman said, "Are you looking for someone?"

Hearing this, Qin Qinghan and Chen Nan looked at each other. Chen Nan quickly asked, "Auntie, we're looking for He Ying. Do you know her?"

The middle-aged woman's expression was strange, then she said, "Why are you looking for my daughter?"

"Daughter..."

Chen Nan and Qin Qinghan were stunned for a moment. The former laughed and said, "Auntie, we are He Ying's friends and came from the city to see her."

The two of them didn't expect to run into He Ying's mother.

The middle-aged woman was dressed very simply, not even neatly. It was evident that her life was not affluent.

There was a trace of wariness in the woman's eyes, but she still said, "Come with me."

Qin Qinghan hurriedly said, "Auntie, get in the car. Just give us directions."

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman looked at the luxury car, then looked down at her own not very clean clothes. She was very embarrassed and said, "Forget it, my clothes are too dirty. I'll get your car dirty."

Qin Qinghan hurriedly got out of the car, then opened the door and gently said, "Auntie, it's okay, please get in."

As she spoke, Qin Qinghan even held the middle-aged woman's arm, not caring at all about the dirt on her clothes.

Only then did the middle-aged woman carefully get into the car.

In the car, Chen Nan turned to the middle-aged woman and asked, "Auntie, where is He Ying now?"

There was a hint of grief in the middle-aged woman's eyes, and tears were about to fall. She sighed, "Oh, my poor girl!"

Seeing the middle-aged woman's sad mood, Chen Nan felt both embarrassed and sympathetic.

The middle-aged woman wiped away a tear, and then said, "Xiao Ying hasn't been out of the house for eight years. She just sits at home every day. She was always quiet as a child, and now the neighbors have almost forgotten about her."

He Ying's mother became more and more heartbroken as she spoke, with tears falling continuously.

Even Qin Qinghan's eyes were brimming with tears.

Chen Nan comforted, "Auntie, we are He Ying's friends. We came to help her."

"Thank you, thank you for still remembering my daughter as a friend." He Ying's mother said gratefully.

With He Ying's mother giving directions, Qin Qinghan's car gradually drove out of the village and came to the other end of the village, the edge of the village.

There, in the distance, they saw a shabby tiled house standing alone, with nothing but woods within a radius of 100 meters around it.

It was as if it had been deliberately isolated.

The car stopped next to the tiled house. The dilapidated courtyard wall was made of mud. Qin Qinghan and Chen Nan did not expect that there would still be such destitute families around Haihua City.

"Come on in, young ladies," Mrs. He Ying said as she pushed open the short rickety door.

Although Qin Qinghan was 173 cm tall and wore flat shoes today, she still had to lower her head to get through the yard entrance.

Even Chen Nan, who was 170 cm tall, needed to duck slightly.

The moment they entered the small yard, their eyes were drawn to a certain spot.

Outside the dilapidated house door, a young woman in plain clothes sat there in a daze.

Her hair was disheveled, as if she hadn't groomed herself for days. Her downcast eyes didn't show a glimmer of color.

Qin Qinghan couldn't help covering her red lips in sorrow. When had she not been in this state herself? But she had Jing Si to look after and parents to support, so she had to get back on her feet.

As for this pitiful woman, Qin Qinghan couldn't see any hope for her.
