"Help--Someone is bullying the weak and kidnapping children!"

Just as Lan Xia had her back turned and was coming out from a corner, a little body bumped into her arms.

As she looked down, she saw a five or six-year-old boy. His exquisite face was covered with tears as he clung to her clothes, crying out, "Miss Lan, save me! There are human traffickers trying to kidnap me--"

Before Lan Xia had time to ponder how the little boy knew who she was, two men in black dressed in masks hurriedly chased after them.

“Don’t get in the way! Move aside!”

"Mom--I'm scared!" The boy hid behind Lan Xia, revealing only half of his head and pitifully cried out.

Goodness, he could actually call her that way. She was still under 22 this year, where did she steal such a big son from?!

Though Lan Xia felt a tinge of complaint in her heart, she didn't have the intention to let the boy go. She held him tightly in her arms, retaining a cold expression as she asked, "What do you intend to do to my son? There's a police station not far from here, if..."

Before she could finish her words, one of the men in masks took out something from his pocket. She inhaled a pungent, medicinal smell into her mouth.

The moment she lost consciousness, she hugged the boy tightly in her arms.

After an unknown period had passed, Lan Xia slowly regained consciousness and opened her eyes, coming face to face with an enlarged youthful face.

He had clean eyebrows, pretty eyes, and red lips framed by a set of white teeth. If not for his short hair, he could easily pass as a living, breathing Barbie doll.

"Teacher, you woke up?"

The boy cocked his head to look at her, revealing two rows of little teeth through his parted red lips, smiling brightly.

"You, are you okay..." Lan Xia struggled to sit up, leaning her back against a wall. Her hands and feet were tied up with a rope, restricting her from making any significant movements.

The boy beside her had his ankles tied, with the other end of the rope attached to the corner of a table lying nearby.

"I'm fine, what about you, teacher? How do you feel?" The boy crawled closer to Lan Xia and sat directly on her legs.

Lan Xia felt a little strange: "…you called me teacher? Do you know me?"

"Of course, Teacher Lan is the most beautiful teacher in kindergarten, all the boys in the school know Teacher Lan." The boy puffed out his chest proudly, his tone quite pleased.

Lan Xia’s mood was complicated.

She should have been happy to receive such a compliment from the boy, but considering her current situation, she couldn't find it in her to be happy.

She cleared her throat, trying hard not to smile too much.

"What's your name? Do you know your parents' phone number?" She asked in a low voice.

Her bag was not by her side, it must have been taken away by those two people, fortunately, she was used to putting her phone in her clothes pocket, and she felt relieved when she realized her phone was still in her jacket pocket.

"My name is Fu Yuxuan, teacher can call me Xuanxuan." Fu Yuxuan tilted his head, smiling beautifully: "Remembering my parents' numbers won't help, my mom is very feeble, she can't come to rescue me, and my dad is not often at home, his phone is always off, sigh."

Lan Xia was taken aback.

Listening to the child's tone, kidnapping seemed to be a normal thing to him.

A sense of compassion rose in her heart as she looked at the boy with a softened gaze.

She let Fu Yuxuan take out the phone from her jacket pocket, told him the phone's password, and asked him to call Ah Chen.

Xue Liangchen was her boyfriend of four years, they were in a great relationship, and had promised to marry as soon as she graduated. Today was a special day, there was a banquet at the Xue's, and Ah Chen wanted to take the opportunity to introduce her to his family.

"Unfortunately, she encountered a "son" who fell from the sky when she left home and was tied up by traffickers to this ruined factory.

"Teacher Lan, is Ah Chen your boyfriend?"

Fu Yuxuan lowered his head, his chubby little hand pressing on the numbers on the screen, blinking his eyes and staring at the words above.

"Yes, Xuanxuan, the one starting with 152, the first one, right..."

Fu Yuxuan responded with an "Oh", slightly turned his body to block Lan Xia's line of sight, his small hand quickly entered a series of numbers, quickly hung up after the call was connected. Just when Lan Xia was looking over in confusion, he redialed Ah Chen's number with a note on it.

Duu... Duu... Duu...

The phone rang for a long time, but nobody answered.

The sound of footsteps grew from faint to loud, and there was a loud bang as the tightly shut iron door was pushed open.

Dazzling light poured in.

Lan Xia turned her head subconsciously and closed her eyes. The next second, her phone was taken away by a man in black.

"Heh! Luckily you didn't call the police, otherwise..."

He grabbed Fu Yuxuan by the collar and lifted him up.

"Ouch, you're so strong, it hurts, be gentle, be gentle."

Fu Yuxuan struggled in the air, kicking his short legs, his two hands tightly grabbing the man's wrist, wanting to come down, yet afraid that the man would throw him out.

"Put Xuanxuan down now! If you have any issues take it out on me!" Lan Xia struggled up and wobbled towards the man.

The man hadn't expected Lan Xia, who was being held captive, to possess such brute strength. He was taken aback and stumbled backward several steps after being hit. The child, Xuan Xuan, whom he was holding onto earlier, was now awkwardly pulled into Lan Xia’s arms as they both fell to the ground.

"Xuan Xuan, are you hurt anywhere?”

Struggling to get up, Lan Xia disregarded everything else, and with her free fingers, she meticulously checked over Fu Yu Xuan for any potential injuries.

"You dame!"

The man snapped out of his dazed state, and mercilessly kicked Lan Xia in the back.

Uh---

With a muffled groan, Lan Xia collapsed to the earth. Before she could stand up, her hair was grabbed by the man, forcing her to lift her face.

"Standing up for him? Do you really think you're his mother?"

The man scowled viciously, studying Lan Xia’s face closely.

"And I admit, up close, your face is quite pretty. I bet your taste might not be too bad either."

Both Lan Xia and Fu Yu Xuan's faces changed simultaneously.

Another man wearing a mask overheard this conversation as he approached, frowning mildly, "Don’t forget what we have been told.”

"The higher-ups only said they wanted the kid. They didn’t mention anything else. Besides, this woman is coming forward on her own. If I don't take advantage of this, it's not fair to her initiative, hehe."

The man in the mask frowned slightly again, and just responded, "Don't take too long."

The man in black countersigned Lan Xia's wrist, inverting her whole body against his chest, he chuckled lewdly as he carried her toward a corner.

"Little fellow, watch closely, today I am going to teach you a lesson on being a man! Haha!"

Fu Yuxuan wanted to pass by, but was held back by the ropes behind him. He could only watch helplessly as Lan Xia was dragged away.

"Let go of me! Let go of me!"

Lan Xia continuously struggled, but her hands and feet were tied, and she even didn't have the ability to protect herself. In her desperate situation, she bit down hard on the man's wrist.

Hiss---

"Bitch! You damn well let me go!"

The man in black angrily flung Lan Xia to the side, then grabbed her by the collar, backhanding her twice.

"You have so little regard for yourself! Don't blame me for not understanding how to cherish women!"

Rip---

The man in black forcefully tore Lan Xia's upper garment, and leaped right onto her!
