The thunder that struck was immense, and even Gu Jin Nian, who was rushing to the scene, was startled when he saw the flash from the police car. He glanced at the location of the incident, and wasn’t that the same location his mother had sent to him earlier? The human traffickers’ actions were indeed heinous, but when did the heavens work with such precision? Worried that the lightning might have injured his mother and sister, Gu Jin Nian urged his subordinates to drive faster, while a car followed behind them—this was the family of Dongdong, who had just received the news from his grandson. As soon as the car stopped, the two groups quickly got out and collided with the Gu family members who had come out to check on the situation. "Mom, what’s going on?" Gu Jin Nian hurried forward and asked. Chen Hui shook her head. She was just as confused. Although she instinctively believed that the thunder earlier was related to the little girl, she couldn’t bring herself to believe it completely. After all, this was a divine punishment from the heavens. The little girl was powerful, but in the end, she was still a mortal. Thunder and lightning were things only gods could control. "You don’t know?" Gu Jin Nian frowned at her words, his gaze sweeping around. He noticed that his little sister was missing, and before he could ask, there was a loud crash. The large iron gate two meters away collapsed with a huge bang. His mouth opened in shock, but no words came out. Through the dust, a group of little children walked out from behind the gate. At the head of the group was none other than his missing little sister, who was holding four lifeless men by the collar. "Dongdong!" A silver-haired old lady in the crowd suddenly cried out. She hurried over and embraced a six-year-old boy, calling his name repeatedly. The little boy was none other than the target of this rescue mission—Dongdong. "Wait, why are there more people?" Gu Jin Nian, now approaching, looked at the group of little children. His eyelids twitched uncontrollably. Good grief, this was a whole trafficking ring. Upon seeing the police uniform on Gu Jin Nian, the little girl, Yaoyao, beamed with a sweet smile, showing dimples on her round face. She casually tossed the four men to the ground and happily called out, "Third Brother, you’re here! Yaoyao has already caught all the bad guys." Gu Jin Nian’s gaze shifted to the men thrown on the ground. Their clothes were scorched black, as if they had been struck by lightning. He suddenly paused, remembering the thunder strike from earlier. Connecting the dots, it seemed his little sister had caused this. His eyes now reflected awe as he looked at the culprits. On the other side, Old Lady Ming also learned from her grandson that Yaoyao had saved them. Ming Dongdong animatedly described the scene of being rescued, his hands gesturing enthusiastically, showing no signs of trauma from the kidnapping. The other children were the same. This left Old Lady Ming very surprised, but also very relieved. She stepped forward with her grandson and thanked the little girl. "Little girl, thank you so much today. If not for you, the Ming family’s only heir would have been lost. If you ever need anything, just let us know. The Ming family will do everything we can to help." It was well-known that this place was remote, and it would take a day or two for the police to find any leads. A day or two’s time would have been enough for these kidnappers to cross borders. So, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that this little girl had saved the Ming family. Yaoyao was about to say it was no problem—after all, she wasn’t lacking in money or food. But just before the words left her mouth, she suddenly remembered what her grandmother had said—that the Ming family was powerful, with a lot of money. Perhaps if they worked with Dad and Big Brother, it could bring them even more wealth? Helping adults make money would make them like her more. This was something Yaoyao had learned from the television. So, she smiled and said, "Grandmother, can you do business with our family? Something that will help my dad and big brother make money?" When she said this, Old Lady Ming froze, and everyone else turned to look at her. Old Lady Ming looked at Old Lady Gu and couldn't help but say, "Old sister, your family is truly blessed to have such a wonderful granddaughter." "Why, of course! My granddaughter is the best!" Old Lady Gu, who had a great relationship with everyone, didn’t need to be modest. Her wrinkled face broke into a proud smile as she straightened her back, radiating pride. Old Lady Ming laughed and scolded her, "You’re really something," before turning back to her son and daughter-in-law, giving instructions. "I remember we have a few big projects on the outskirts of the city. Haven’t we been looking for partners? I think the Gu family would be perfect!" "Yes, we’ll go to the Gu family to discuss the business later," Ming’s son and daughter-in-law exchanged a look, fully understanding what their mother meant. The Ming family had spent a lot of effort to secure the land in that area, and they originally hadn’t planned on looking for outside partners. But now, with the old mother’s request and the fact that the Gu family had saved their precious grandson, coupled with the Gu family’s reputation as cultured merchants, this partnership was a no-brainer. "Yay, then Yaoyao will thank Grandma Ming on behalf of Daddy!" Yaoyao was so happy when she heard that the deal was done. This made Old Lady Ming extremely pleased, and she took off her jade bracelet and put it on Yaoyao’s wrist. "Grandmother, I..." Yaoyao was caught off guard and instinctively looked toward Old Lady Gu. Seeing this, Old Lady Gu smiled and said, "Your Grandma Ming is my best friend. Whatever she gives, Yaoyao, you can accept it with confidence." Yaoyao didn’t hesitate anymore, smiling sweetly, and said, "Thank you." The exchange between them made Chen Hui, who was watching, sigh in wonder. She couldn’t help but imagine how shocked her husband would be when he found out that their daughter had come out and had already brought back a major business deal. Afterward, Old Lady Ming, worried about her grandson’s possible internal injuries, insisted on taking him to a major hospital for a checkup before she could feel at ease. "Heroine, wait for me! I’ll come play with you after I check my body!" Surprisingly, Ming Dongdong didn’t want to leave. Under the urgings of his grandmother and parents, he reluctantly got into the car. Then, he popped his head out of the car window and waved his little hand at Yaoyao. This form of address left everyone in the group laughing and crying. "By the way, Third Brother, these people are not ordinary. Although I’ve disabled their cultivation, you still need to have someone from the upper ranks handle them." After the Ming family’s car drove away, Yaoyao pointed at the four men lying on the ground. Gu Jin Nian froze for a moment. He wasn’t familiar with the Special Operations Unit, which was something only the highest levels of the department knew about. But thanks to his sister, he had now become the only person outside of the top brass who could directly contact the Special Operations Unit. He nodded, then turned to make a phone call to handle the matter. Old Lady Gu saw that things were settled and, knowing they couldn’t help further, decided to take Yaoyao back to the Gu family. After a long day, she was looking forward to resting. But as soon as they entered the house, she could feel that something was off. Before they even entered the living room, the frantic yelling of her eldest son could be heard. "Gu Xuesong, and that monstrous daughter of his, both of you get out here!" "You’ve ruined my son Qingkai, and today, we’re going to settle this! I’ll count to three, and if you don’t come out, I’ll burn this place down!" Hearing the increasingly outrageous ranting, Old Lady Gu’s face turned dark as she stormed into the living room.
