"Son, I’m sorry to you and Xiaoxian, I took Xiaohua out and almost let her be—"

As she spoke, she was so upset that she couldn’t continue.

Lu Xiao looked at Little Niuniu, who was sucking on her pacifier and sleeping soundly. He carefully took her from his mother’s arms, feeling her weight in his own embrace for a while before seriously speaking to his mother:

"Mom, don’t blame yourself. My friends at the police station have told me all about it. Those people staged a play to take the child, inside and out there were several people involved. You couldn’t have fought them off, so there’s no way this could be your fault."

Lu Xiao’s mother still felt troubled. Little Niuniu was also her precious darling. If something had really happened, she felt like she wouldn’t be able to live on.

She sobbed and said, "If I hadn’t taken her out, it would’ve been fine. I just shouldn’t have—"

"Mom...!"

Lu Xiao stopped her, sighed with some sentiment, and slowly said:

"You can’t think that way. Do you really believe that, for the sake of the children’s safety, they should never go out? They still have to face the outside world. No one can predict what will happen in the next moment, so what we should do is prepare in advance."

Instead of regretting things after they happen, if something really happened to the kids, it would be too late to regret it then.

Hearing him say this, Lu Xiao’s mother felt a bit better inside.

At this moment, the police came over and handed a tissue to Lu Xiao’s mother, smiling as they said, "Auntie, don’t cry. Actually, because of what happened today, a lot of people will probably thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Lu Xiao’s mother sniffed her red nose and asked, confused.

At this time, Lu Xiao looked over to the distance, beckoned, and Ping’an ran over immediately.

Lu Xiao bent down, stroking its head and chin, and told it, "Ping’an, you’re really something!"

The police also said, "Actually, you might not know, but we’ve been looking for this human trafficking gang for a long time. They’ve harmed so many families and committed heinous crimes. If we hadn’t caught them today, they would have continued to harm more families."

"This—"

Lu Xiao nodded and said seriously:

"That’s also why I had someone protecting the children and let Ping’an be by their side. I heard that it was thanks to Ping’an this time. It rushed at the bad guys in time and bit them until they were covered in blood. Otherwise, things might indeed have turned out badly."

Although, with his abilities, he could more conveniently find the missing child, Beijing is too big with too many blind spots. If they were hidden somewhere, it wouldn’t be so easy to find them.

And even if they were found, what if something had happened to the child during the process?

Lu Xiao hadn’t expected that what he had worried about before would really happen today.

And there were still traces of blood on Ping’an’s mouth and face.

Wen Xian arrived to see this scene.

Lu Xiao was half-kneeling on the ground, wiping Ping’an’s face with tissues, while Lu Xiao’s mother was holding Lu Xiaohua in her arms.

After Wen Xian got out of the car and ran all the way over, her chest was heaving, and her eyes turned red from anxiety.

Seeing Wen Xian arrive, Lu Xiao stood up, took Xiaohua from his mother’s arms, and walked toward her.

"...Honey, how, how is it!?" Wen Xian shed tears.

Lu Xiao held Xiaohua in his arms and wrapped one hand around her: "It’s okay, it was just a scare."

Sometimes, a false alarm is truly the most wonderful phrase in this world.
