Chapter 2: Dear Hypnotist, Your Excellency

Five years later.

Haicheng Airport.

At the exit, many tourists' gazes swarmed toward the woman in the crowd, all letting out inhaling sounds.

The woman's appearance was stunning; seaweed‑like long curls fell to her waist, her features were delicate and alluring, her figure curvaceous, her red lips slightly pursed, and even standing there quietly she was so beautiful that one could not look away.

Beside her was a cute little girl, Yu Xue, and the Milk Group child wore adorable sun‑patterned overalls, a little yellow cap on her head, and a small sunflower‑printed bag on her back.

Under thick lashes were grape‑like eyes, paired with cherry‑red lips; noticing the surrounding gazes, the Milk Group child smiled, her brows and eyes curving, instantly melting people's hearts.

"Mommy."

Lu Xixi tugged at the woman beside her's skirt, blinking with a baby‑like voice, and asked, "Is this the place Mom used to stay?"

Beside her, Lu Xiwán looked at the familiar city before her, a faint light shimmering in her eyes, as memories long buried deep began to surface.

Five years ago, she was in this city, abandoned by her own husband at the hands of those kidnappers.

If she hadn't been lucky enough, perhaps she and the child in her womb would have already died in a mountain ravine...

Back then, she was dropped by the kidnappers into the forest, her body drenched in blood before villagers rescued her; because of that incident, the child in her womb teetered between life and death, and even during birth she suffered massive hemorrhage and a difficult delivery.

Fortunately, she gave birth to baby Xi Xi; five years later, her child had grown up healthy.

If it weren't for this request, she might never have set foot in Nancheng...

Lu Xiwán patted her daughter's little head, saw the little baby tilting her head, biting her fingertip and looking at her tangledly; she smiled, lifted her up, and said gently, "Yes, this is the place Mom once lived. Does Xi Xi like it here?"

"Like it!"

Lu Xixi nodded heavily, then her eyes lit up, and in a baby‑like voice she asked, "Is that bad Daddy here too?"

She remembered that Mom had said Daddy and Mom were childhood sweethearts!

Although Mom disliked the bad Daddy a lot and got upset when mentioning him, she really missed Daddy!

Lu Xiwán, holding her daughter, walked outward and said calmly, "Didn't Mom say Daddy was dead? Or crushed to bone and turned to ash, with no remains."

But that's lying to a three‑year‑old!

Lu Xixi thought unhappily, she's already over four, why does Mom still brush her off like this?

The Milk Group child just placed her hands on her hips, about to retort, when an excited, heroic female voice nearby suddenly interrupted:

"Little Xi Xi, Wanwan, I'm here!"

A short‑haired, ear‑length haircut, dashing female police officer pushed through the crowd and walked toward the two.

"Aunt Si Jiuyin! Xi Xi is here!"

Lu Xixi called the woman's name in a baby voice, her eyes sparkling; Aunt Si Jiuyin was just too cool, Wow—ka-ka.

Si Jiuyin saw the little one eyeing her police uniform enviously and couldn't help smiling; she took the baby from Lu Xiwán's arms, planted a kiss on the chubby little face, and asked, "Xi Xi, do you miss Aunt Si Jiuyin?"

"I do!" Lu Xixi eyed Si Jiuyin's badge greedily and asked excitedly, "Did Aunt Si Jiuyin catch any bad guys again? Next time can Aunt Si Jiuyin take Xi Xi to catch bad guys?"

She really envies Aunt Si Jiuyin.

She heard Mom say that Aunt Si Jiuyin is the best female police officer, who could obviously make a living off her looks, yet insists on subduing others.

Unlike Xi Xi, who can only live off Mom's support.

Si Jiuyin, amused by the little one, said, "That won't do; Xi Xi is a treasure, and bad guys would be jealous."

She smiled, coaxed Lu Xixi for a while, then looked up at the woman before her, extended her hand, with a hint of playfulness in her eyes: "Dear Hypnotist, welcome back."

The Hypnotist Si Jiuyin referred to was Lu Xiwán.

Five years ago, Lu Xiwán was stranded in the forest, but happened upon a master, learned many skills, one of which was Hypnosis; she adopted the codename Xuanshui and became the world‑renowned Hypnosis Master Miss Xuanshui.

Later, when Si Jiuyin was handling a case, Lu Xiwán met her as if they were old friends; using Hypnosis, she helped solve many problems, and the two gradually became close friends.

This time she returned at Si Jiuyin's request, to treat a child's illness.

Thinking of Si Jiuyin's repeated urgings, Lu Xiwán grasped her hand, saying with a hint of helplessness, "If I don't come back, you'll probably have to bind me with a gun and bring me over."

After speaking, Si Jiuyin innocently said, "I have no choice... My old master is in a hurry."

She smiled, made a beckoning gesture, and said to Lu Xiwán, "Get in the car; I'll first take you and baby Xi Xi home to rest, we can talk in the car."

Lu Xiwán followed behind her and got into the car.

A few minutes later.

She sat in the passenger seat holding her daughter, listening as Si Jiuyin spoke about the target of this Hypnosis.

"Half a year ago, you know there was a major kidnapping case in Nancheng, right? A criminal gang abducted several children, the police couldn't trace them, and finally a child escaped alone to report it, which resolved the case."

Lu Xiwán raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Escaping from a group of seasoned criminals… this child is truly extraordinary.

"This child is not ordinary; an IQ of 280. After escaping, the child became self‑isolated, cold‑hearted, and spoke little. We invited you this time to help unlock the child."

Lu Xiwán lowered her head, skimmed the data, nodded noncommittally, but Si Jiuyin's next words made her jerk her head up sharply.

"By the way, that child's surname is Fu; he is the illegitimate son of Fu Family's Second Master Fu Sijue..."
