Chapter 34: Finding Their Daughter
Tears streamed uncontrollably down Li Lan’s cheeks.
One by one, the drops fell onto the girl’s hands, searing the heart like fire.
“Qiqi, my Qiqi, my baby! Mommy finally found you!” Li Lan broke into sobs, pulling Li Qiqi into her arms.
Her embrace was tight, as if she wanted to shield her daughter completely, terrified that she might disappear again in the next moment.
“Qiqi, it’s all Mommy’s fault. I didn’t protect you well…”
“This time, Mommy won’t ever lose you again. Will you forgive me?”
Tears blurred her vision. Her heart ached so much it felt like she couldn’t breathe.
“Ah… ah… ah…” Li Qiqi gently raised her hand and patted Li Lan’s back, trying to soothe her.
Mom, how could this be your fault?
She hadn’t expected that a simple outing with her sister would end with her being abducted by traffickers.
“Qiqi… Qiqi…” Seeing that her daughter wasn’t speaking and could only make sounds, Li Lan’s heart sank. The pain deepened further.
Her daughter, the one she had carried for ten months and given birth to, what inhuman torment had she endured?

Lin Yi noticed Li Lan holding a beggar and calling her daughter. Concern flashed in his eyes. “Lan…”
Could his wife have missed their daughter so much during this time that she mistook someone else’s child for her own?
Li Lan held onto Li Qiqi tightly, refusing to let go. Choking back sobs, she said, “Husband, it’s Qiqi! My Qiqi! I’ve found our daughter!”
Lin Yi stepped forward, crouched down, and got a closer look at the girl’s face. He was both shocked and overjoyed.
Though Qiqi was his wife’s daughter with her ex-husband, he had always treated her as his own and never been harsh toward her. His feelings for her were genuine.
“Qiqi… It’s really Qiqi. We’ve finally found her.” Lin Yi’s honest and simple face broke into a sincere smile.
The commotion attracted glances from beggars near another store.
When one middle-aged beggar overheard them calling the ragged girl their daughter, a flicker of malice crossed his face.
Damn it. Could this mean the truth is about to be exposed?
After some thought, he realized the area was crowded, making it hard to act. He could only glare at them resentfully before planning his escape.
Just as the middle-aged beggar prepared to flee, Li Qiqi struggled out of Li Lan’s arms. Pointing a trembling finger at the man, she grew agitated. “Ah… ah…”
It was him. That man was part of the “beggar syndicate.” He couldn’t be allowed to escape.
While making unintelligible sounds, Li Qiqi clenched her right hand over her left.
Li Lan, fully trusting her daughter, didn’t hesitate. She shouted excitedly, “Old Lin, old Lin, there’s something wrong with that man! Catch him quickly!”
Her entire body trembled. Whether from fury or nerves, her face flushed bright red.
Lin Yi didn’t waste a second. He stood and sprinted toward the middle-aged beggar.
Years of manual labor had kept Lin Yi strong and agile, and age hadn’t diminished his physical abilities much.
The beggar hadn’t gotten far before Lin Yi caught him.
The man slapped Lin Yi’s hand away and shouted angrily, “What are you doing? Just because I’m a beggar doesn’t mean you can bully me!”
Li Qiqi’s eyes locked on him, her breathing rapid, her expression twisted with emotion.
Sensing her daughter’s distress, Li Lan quickly tried to calm her. “Qiqi, don’t be afraid. Don’t worry. Mommy and Daddy are here. No one can hurt you.”
She then looked up at Lin Yi.
“Old Lin, don’t listen to his nonsense. Whatever you do, don’t let him go. I’ll call the police right now and let them handle this!”
Her daughter had always been an obedient and understanding child. She wouldn’t have pointed out this beggar without a reason.
