Chapter 1096: The Making of a Mama's Boy 3

No, I must buy the "goods" back before those brats return.

The children under Lao San's command are spread throughout the most prosperous parts of the city.

He has over a dozen children, big and small, under him; every morning he sends them out to the city's major shopping malls and commercial streets to beg for money, and they must hand over their share to him upon returning, keeping whatever is left for themselves.

If they don't beg for enough, they have to steal, or even rob.

If they fail to turn in their daily share, the light punishment is going hungry, and the heavy punishment is a brutal beating.

His children will definitely discover this missing person notice; once they return, this five hundred thousand will certainly no longer be his.

Thinking of this, Hong Jie hurried back, and after returning, she took twenty thousand out of her bag to return.

"I'm not selling this child anymore." After saying this, she prepared to carry Moli away.

"Stop."

Lao San blocked her path: "Hong Jie, are you senile, or do you take me, Lao San, for a fool? This brat is my person now; you say you're not selling, and that's supposed to work?"

Hong Jie gritted her teeth: "I'll add another ten thousand for you, you sell him to me, that should be fine, right?"

"No."

He looked the woman up and down; her eyes flickered, and she accompanied her words with a smiling face: "Why are you looking at me like that? You've earned ten thousand yuan without walking a single step; such a good thing is only something I, your sister, would think of for you. Just be content."

"Get lost!"

Lao San wouldn't fall for it, and Hong Jie grew anxious: "I must take this child away today."

"You want to try?"

"Clang!"

A Dagger flashing with a cold glint was stabbed into the table.

The woman didn't dare to force the issue, but she was also unwilling to leave just like that.

At this moment, Moli heard the commotion and woke up; he opened his eyes, not knowing what had happened.

"Where is this?"

He struggled to stand up from the corner of the wall, although his head was still very dizzy and his legs didn't have much strength.

But he could walk.

This place didn't look like a place where good people stayed, and the man in the room didn't look like a good person either; he instinctively wanted to leave.

"Stop, where are you going? From now on, this is your home."

The man grabbed him and pulled him back, taking a Rope to tie him up.

Moli cried and struggled: "No, let me go, bad person, you are all bad people..."

He was young and weak, no match for the man at all, and was soon tied to a pillar in the room.

He cried and made a scene incessantly, his mouth stuffed with a dirty rag.

Hospital.

Jian Yixin woke up again; this time she didn't scream or shout, but only threatened the nurse not to disturb anyone, otherwise she would make it so they couldn't live in Jiangzhou for the rest of their lives.

Jian Yixin snuck out of the hospital and drove aimlessly, speeding along the road.

Along the way, whenever she saw a child on the side of the road, she would immediately slam on the brakes to stop, nearly getting rear-ended several times, drawing quite a few protests and curses.

She didn't care; as long as she could find her son, let alone being cursed at, what would it matter even if she were beaten?

"Moli! Son!!!"

Jian Yixin saw a figure flash by the street and stopped the car again without any warning.

"Clang!"

The car behind didn't stop in time and crashed into her.

Her head hit the windshield hard, her forehead bleeding, and she felt dizzy and dazed.

Jian Yixin pushed the car door open and ran out; the figure from just now had flashed by, and now there was only one thought in her mind, which was that she must catch up to that child.

That back view just now was exactly the same as Moli's!

Jian Yixin was covered in blood, stumbling as she chased after him.

"Get out, don't force me to take action."

Lao San glared with murderous intent as he drove Hong Jie away, then went to Moli and grinned hideously: "Little brat, bear with it. I'll sever your hand and foot tendons, and from now on you won't have to worry about food or clothing. Since you can't do hard or tiring work like this, you might as well enjoy a life of ease early on..."

"Mmm-mmm—"

Moli's mouth was blocked; he shook his head desperately, terrified to the extreme.

He didn't want to become disabled, he didn't.

Usually, even if he got a splinter in his hand, he would cry for a long time; now, the Dagger flashing with a cold glint was waving back and forth right before his eyes, and Moli was scared out of his wits.

"Bear with it, it'll only hurt for a second."

Lao San approached him step by step, and just as the knife tip was getting closer and closer, at this critical moment—"Bang!" the door was kicked open, and Jian Yixin appeared at the doorway just in time.

"Don't you touch my son, get away."

She rushed up as if she had gone mad, desperately scratching and biting at Lao San.

The soft fear the hard, the hard fear the fierce, and the fierce fear the one who doesn't fear death.

Jian Yixin was now the one who didn't fear death; her crazed appearance even frightened the ruthless and vicious Lao San.

"Where did this crazy woman come from? Get out, watch out or I'll report you for trespassing."

"Report! Go report it right now! I've already called the police, they'll be here soon, report me to their faces!" Jian Yixin remained calm in the face of danger, her aura fully unleashed; most importantly, she was covered in blood, which looked terrifying, and it really did bluff Lao San.

His eyeballs rolled halfway, and he raised the knife and stabbed fiercely toward Jian Yixin!

A normal reaction that people usually have is to dodge.

But she did not; she stood in place, motionless: "Let my son go."

The knife tip changed direction just as it was about to pierce Jian Yixin, grazing past her side as it thrust out, and Lao San took the opportunity to bolt through the door and flee.

In that instant, she was stunned!

What was happening?

Had the villain run away?

But she quickly realized, regardless of whether he was running away or going to call for help, saving her son came first!

She first pulled the rag off Moli's mouth, and the child burst into tears with a "waa."

He apologized while crying: "I'm sorry, Mommy, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have left school, and I shouldn't have doubted that you were my real mother..."

Jian Yixin felt as if her heart were being cut by a knife, but she could not worry about anything else right now; getting Moli out of there was what mattered.

The child she had followed was not Moli, but that child had led her here, which was how she discovered Moli tied up and nearly harmed.

The Rope would not come undone, so she used her teeth to bite at it.

Finally, the Rope on his body was untied; Moli got into the car with his mother, and Jian Yixin closed the car door and drove away at high speed.

All the way, Moli held his mother tightly, unwilling to be separated from her even a little bit, apologizing incessantly and saying he was wrong and would never run off alone again.

Hospital.

Moli was in the psychology room receiving counseling from a psychologist.

Jian Yixin, with gauze wrapped around her forehead, kept watch outside, her tears never drying.

The Beggar Sect leader Lao San was caught, along with the human trafficker called Hong Jie; not a single one escaped, and they were all apprehended.

There were over a dozen rescued children, half of whom were disabled; without exception, they had all been cruelly maimed by Lao San.

He also had lives on his conscience; if a child who wouldn't listen made too much of a fuss, they would be...

It was too terrifying; if she had arrived even a little bit later, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

After the psychological counseling, Moli was still quite traumatized; he became extremely dependent on his mother and did not want to leave her side for even half a step.

He followed her every step of the way and would become anxious and uneasy if he could not see his mother.

The already unhealthy parenting style became even more unhealthy after this incident!
