Chapter 309 The Human Trafficker Couple
The people around immediately became indignant and said, "I originally thought this child was just throwing a tantrum and didn't want to go home with his parents, but he actually stole something."
"How can there be such a naughty child in the world?"
"Stealing, disowning his parents, and ignoring guidance—this child is indeed bad."
"This couple both seem to be honest and kind, how could they have given birth to such a heartless son?"
"If I had a son like that, I would have killed him with my own hands long ago."
Xiao Bao was already stunned by the shameless words of the couple, and now, hearing what the onlookers were saying, he was afraid that Murong Chen and Xu Xuan would think the same way. He cried and said, "Big brother, please believe Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao is not a bad child."
“Xiao Bao didn’t steal anything, and they are not Xiao Bao’s parents.”
"You child, things have come to this point, how can you still lie to people?" The honest man looked at Xiaobao with heartache on his face and said, "We'll buy you whatever you want, how can you disown your parents?"
"Do you know how hard it was for your parents to raise you?" As he spoke, the honest man raised his hand, about to slap Xiaobao across the face.
Xu Xuan's face turned cold. This seemingly honest man was actually planning to knock Xiao Bao unconscious. He hadn't missed the impatience and coldness in the man's eyes just now.
Xu Xuan blocked the man's slap towards Xiao Bao and said, "Let's talk things out. Hitting a child is not a good thing."
"Are you really the child's father?"
Before the honest man could speak, the surrounding crowd started shouting, "You two are meddling too much!"
"If it were me, I would have thrown the child away long ago. The parents just wanted to teach the child a lesson, what business is it of yours?"
Xu Xuan and Murong Chen's cold eyes swept over the group of people. "Are you really sure these two people are the child's parents?"
"They are clearly father and son, mother and son. You're such a busybody and annoying person."
The honest man also said, "Young master, we only have this one son, and I want to discipline him properly. If I could, I wouldn't have the heart to hit him."
“My husband has always doted on the children.” The woman said, and then burst into tears, saying painfully, “If the child hadn’t been so fat and we hadn’t been so disappointed, we wouldn’t have been able to lay a hand on the child.”
The surrounding crowd grew even louder, but Murong Chen ignored them and looked at the human trafficker couple, saying, "Fine, since you say he's your child, why doesn't this child look like you at all?"
The couple were taken aback by Murong Chen's question and paused for a moment, but quickly regained their composure and said, "Of course not."
"My husband and I only have this one child, and he is our late-life child, so we always dote on him. No matter what good things we have at home, we save them for him. We also don't want him to do any work, so we spoil him. He has to have the most expensive and good things to eat and use. Otherwise, he will complain to us. So we have no choice but to do some heavy and tiring work."
The child traffickers' faces were filled with bitterness as they said, "The child looks a lot like my wife when she was young. Alas, it's my fault for letting my child..."
“It’s not your fault, you’ve been good enough to the child,” the crowd couldn’t help but say. “It’s the child who’s heartless and has been raised wrong.”
The couple thanked them, saying, "Thank you for speaking up for me."
Because the couple temporarily relaxed their control over the child while they were talking, the child seized the opportunity, ran to Murong Chen and Xu Xuan, hugged Xu Xuan's leg, and said, "Big brother, please help Xiaobao. Xiaobao is not lying. Xiaobao really doesn't know them."
Xu Xuan comforted him, "Don't worry, Xiao Bao, you'll be alright."
When the couple saw that Xiao Bao had run to Xu Xuan and Murong Chen's side, their expressions changed, and they said, "Xiao Bao, come back to your parents quickly."
As he reached out, Xu Xuan slapped his hand away. The honest man winced in pain and said, "Young master, this is our family matter. My wife and I have already explained everything clearly. How could you... still hope that you can return the child to us?"
"Although this child is a bit ruthless, his parents only have this one son. It's not enough that you two are meddling in other people's business, you actually want to take their son away."
"Give the children back to them immediately."
Xiao Bao was terrified that he would be kidnapped by the human traffickers again, so he clung even tighter to Xu Xuan's leg, his little face filled with panic.
Seeing Xiao Bao's panicked face, Xu Xuan comforted him, "It's okay, I know they are bad people."
After comforting the child, Xu Xuan turned to the child trafficker couple and asked, "You say this is your son?"
“Yes,” the child trafficker couple said. “We’ve been married for a long time, and this is our only child.”
"Since you say this is your child, then I'll ask you a few questions," Xu Xuan said calmly.
"As long as you're willing to give our child back, we can ask you any questions."
Just as Xu Xuan and Murong Chen were about to ask questions, several more people suddenly appeared not far away.
"What happened here?" Xu Xuan and Murong Chen looked over and saw several boys and girls about their age standing not far away.
There were five people in total, three men and two women, all dressed in casual clothes.
Seeing that no one answered them, the group asked again. Xu Xuan opened his mouth, about to speak, when the onlookers started talking all at once.
After listening to the jumbled accounts of the onlookers, the five newcomers, believing they had understood what had happened, looked at Xu Xuan and Murong Chen, frowned, and said, "This is a family matter, why are you meddling in other people's business?"
"..."
Xu Xuan and Murong Chen thought that a few reasonable people had come, but they were easily swayed by a few words from others. Xu Xuan said with dissatisfaction, "They are not Xiao Bao's parents."
"How do you know?" one of the taller boys said. "So many people say they're a family, and the couple said the child was just being unreasonable. You're meddling in other people's business, and you even tried to take their child away. That's utterly heartless."
"No, no," Xiao Bao cried, "The two older brothers are good people, they are the bad people."
"Young heroes, don't listen to the child's nonsense. We old folks are useless, so it's normal that the child dislikes us and doesn't want to acknowledge us. Sigh."
The tall boy looked at Xu Xuan and Murong Chen with even more dissatisfaction. He took a few steps forward and said, "Give the child back to them right now, or I'll get rough with you."
"I'd like to see just how impolite you can be to me." Xu Xuan handed Xiao Bao to Murong Chen and said, "Take good care of Xiao Bao first." Murong Chen nodded.
