Was she wearing it all along?
Chen Fan's heart suddenly trembled.
Could it be…
Staring at the little girl before him, he finally understood why she looked familiar.
Those eyes, that nose, were exactly like Hu Dongyang's!
Yangzi, I haven't forgotten your request.
I will definitely take care of your family. If this little girl is truly your daughter, I will treat her as my own.
“Uncle, Uncle, what’s wrong?”
Nannan's call pulled Chen Fan back to reality.
He steadied himself and said gently, “Nannan, where do you live? Can Uncle take you home?”
To his surprise, Nannan's face changed drastically at his words.
She took two steps back, glanced around nervously, and said cautiously, “No, no, Uncle… I can’t take you home.”
Chen Fan frowned, a bad premonition surfacing.
Nannan’s reaction was rather unusual!
“I have to go, goodbye Uncle!”
Nannan said and turned to leave. Bafeng Novel
Chen Fan followed, saying, “Nannan, don’t rush. Uncle won’t go to your house. It’s too late and not very safe. How about I take you near your home?”
Nannan walked faster, but as a little girl, she couldn’t outrun Chen Fan.
Chen Fan, filled with questions, was about to press further when two men emerged from the side and blocked his path.
“Buddy, what’s your deal? You buy flowers, buy flowers, why are you following the little girl?” the bald man said in a deep voice.
The other man, thin and wearing a tank top and a gold chain, exuded a rogue aura. He sneered, “What are you up to?”
“Who are you to her?”
Chen Fan didn't answer, but asked in a deep voice.
“We’re her elders. Her affairs are none of your business, so scram!” the bald man said arrogantly. “Go do whatever you were doing!”
With that, he turned and pulled the little girl away.
The other man shot Chen Fan a fierce glare and turned to leave.
The girl looked back at Chen Fan, her eyes filled with terror and panic, a silent plea for help.
The man pulling the girl tugged her forcefully. Seeing her still looking back, he slapped her across the face.
The girl dared not look back again and followed the men away.
Chen Fan’s expression turned grim, his fists clenched tightly, veins bulging on his arms.
“Heavenly King, these people are suspicious. Should I take them down?”
Qin Tianyou also sensed something was wrong and stepped forward, his face filled with anger.
Chen Fan took a deep breath and said, “Follow them. Remember not to lose them, and don’t alert them. Once you find their lair, gather your men and surround it. I want to catch them all.”
“You mean, this is an organized gang?” Qin Tianyou frowned.
“Go!”
Chen Fan said in a deep voice.
“Yes!”
Qin Tianyou dared not delay and quickly ran after them.
Chen Fan didn't go back. He returned to his car and lit a cigarette.
The tip of the cigarette flickered, and his thoughts drifted with the smoke.
“Brother Fan, I… I can’t make it!”
“I’ve dedicated my life to the country, no… no regrets!”
“Brother Fan, please tell… Qiaoyun, I miss her so much… I want to marry her!”
“Tell her not to wait for me, to find a good man… and marry him…”
…
Six years ago, his comrade and brother-in-arms, Hu Dongyang, took three bullets for him and died in his arms.
To vent his rage, he massacred an enemy base.
But it couldn't bring back his brother's life.
Afterward, his brother was buried on the frontier, a lone, unmarked grave.
Due to the tense and fierce frontier battles, he had neither the time nor the heart to personally deliver his belongings and last words. So, he entrusted the task to someone he could trust.
Along with the pension, there was a bank card containing three million yuan of his personal funds.
Hu Dongyang was an orphan with no other relatives, only a girlfriend named Zhou Qiaoyun.
Three million yuan, plus Hu Dongyang’s pension, should have been enough to ensure her a comfortable life.
Since Hu Dongyang had never mentioned his girlfriend was pregnant before his death, Chen Fan had no idea his brother had offspring.
It was a coincidence that he met them here.
But the moment Chen Fan saw Nannan's situation, a wave of fury washed over him.
Six years had passed, and he was now an invincible War God, unparalleled in the world.
Yet, his brother's daughter was being controlled by an illegal gang and forced to sell flowers late at night.
Since her birth, this lonely little girl must have suffered unimaginable hardships.
In a daze, he seemed to see himself fifteen years ago, and Su Yingxue.
A deep melancholy filled his heart.
After midnight, a military vehicle arrived.
Qin Tianyou jumped out and hurried over, opening the car door.
“Report!”
“Speak!”
“Nannan was taken to a street away and picked up by a van with no license plates. They finally ended up in a civilian house in the southern suburbs, and…”
Qin Tianyou's words trailed off.
“Continue!”
Chen Fan's expression was ice-cold.
Qin Tianyou took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, “Besides her, there were several other children of similar age in that house, but most of them were disabled. It looks like it was done deliberately…”
As he spoke, Qin Tianyou glanced at Chen Fan, and seeing his silence, he gritted his teeth and continued, “All these children are controlled by those people, forced to beg…”
“Human Trafficking and Mutilation!”
Four chilling words escaped Chen Fan's mouth, spoken one by one, exuding overwhelming killing intent, making Qin Tianyou shiver.
“Heavenly King, I request to engage, to bring these people to justice on the spot!” Qin Tianyou volunteered.
He had always hated evil and injustice. How could he stand by and watch such a scene?
“Get in the car.”
Chen Fan's voice was incredibly calm.
But Qin Tianyou knew that beneath that calm exterior lay boundless killing intent.
“This time, I will act personally!”
Chen Fan spoke again.
“Yes!”
Qin Tianyou's expression stiffened, and he saluted with immense excitement.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he last saw the invincible War God act personally.
To witness it was an unparalleled honor.
Although it was undoubtedly overkill for the War God to deal with a small criminal organization, it just showed that his blood was not yet cold!
The legend of the War God’s wrath leading to millions of casualties was not just a myth.
Qin Tianyou got into the car, stepped on the accelerator, and with a torrent of anger, drove straight towards the house in the southern suburbs.
