This adult has no friendship with Qi Nan, and Qi Nan was able to recruit him only by borrowing the power of another person.

That is the Royal Chef.

Her letter was signed by Feng Jiu. If someone else had handed the letter asking for help to Mr. Yuchu, he might have thrown it away as waste paper.

He is just an official who just cooks and selects talents, and he doesn't want to get involved in this complicated case of human trafficking.

But since it was Feng Jiu who asked for help, he had to take care of it.

The champion of this cooking competition is also of great use to him, and he may get to know him more in the future.

If his food can make that person happy, then he won't have to worry about his future.

He immediately handed the matter over to another official, who was famously selfless and as stubborn as a stinking stone in a latrine when it came to handling cases. No one could plead or bribe him.

His upright attitude in handling cases offended many people overtly and covertly, and the emperor just needed such a person to be his sword to eliminate the worms in the court.

1 Hearing that such a case was being handled, the gentleman didn't hesitate at all. He didn't even care about his own rest time, and immediately sent troops to support him.

"Sir, let's go up and take a look at those children first, and I'll leave this to you."

"It should be." The adult glanced at Qi Nan and then looked away, turning to deal with the follow-up matters with his men.

Qi Nan walked upstairs with Qi Xiuxiu. She had run back and forth so many times today that her feet were sore.

When they walked to the door, Qi Xiuxiu suddenly felt a little homesick.

She had never dared to ask Qin Nan a question just now: Is her Yuanyuan on top?

If there is no hope, there will be no disappointment. When Qinan opened the door, she took a step back and walked behind.

Ma Qian also got away from the things downstairs. After sending the guards to the adults, he went upstairs to join Qi Xiuxiu and the others.

"aunt!"

"Sister, you are back."

The two little guys, Qi Bei and Qi Rong, immediately came over to greet them when they saw them entering.

Qi Xiuxiu was surprised at first, and then disappointed.

The two children in the main house of the Qi family were found, but there was still no trace of her Yuanyuan.

"Xiaobei, Xiaorong, are you okay?"

She still wouldn't show her emotions in front of her children, so she took Qi Bei and Qi Rong to check them carefully.

She was relieved after seeing that they only had some superficial injuries.

Now that Qi Bei and Qi Rong are alive and well, her Yuanyuan should also be alive and well in a corner of this world.

“Auntie, we were found by our sister, and no one will beat us or force us to work again.

I just don’t know when we can see my father and mother, I really want to go home..."

Qi Bei started to cry as he spoke.

In the past, he had always played a very strong brother and never shed a tear in front of Qi Rong.

But he was only a child of a few years old. When facing those difficulties, how could he not be sad behind his back? He would secretly wipe his tears every night.

He didn't even dare to cry out, otherwise he would be beaten again.

There were only two thoughts that kept him going, protecting his sister and waiting for his family to pick them up.

Fortunately, he waited and protected his sister.

"Child, you must be mentally prepared for what I am going to say next. Your parents were one of the accomplices behind your abduction. Even your brother Yuanyuan disappeared with you that time. I don’t know if you saw him later..."

Qi Xiuxiu told the two children what happened in the Qi family's main house without any concealment.

Some things cannot be hidden, so it is better to heal the wounds than to hide them.

She didn't want Qinan to be in trouble later, so it was better for her to come forward and negotiate the matter.

"Dad, how could they do this? Our three siblings are all their children, why would they do this?"

Qi Bei didn't want to believe it all, but there were some facts that he couldn't believe.

He recalled the memory of that night.

Before going to bed, their mother gave them a bowl of sweet soup, saying that she was afraid that they would have to change places to sleep, so they drank the sweet soup so that they could sleep more easily.

As soon as he took the bowl of sweet soup into his mouth, he felt a little groggy. When he woke up again, he was locked in a large iron cage with his sister and the others.

There were many children in the cage. Their hands were tied and their mouths were covered. They were surrounded by the sounds of big men.

Only when they were called to eat, they would briefly loosen the ties of the children. Once anyone dared to cry and make noise, they would be beaten and kicked.

In the eyes of these people, they are just a group of living creatures. As long as their faces are not hurt, they will not care if they are beaten to only one breath.

Some weak children could not bear such neglect and died on the way.

Those people just frowned and threw their bodies in the wilderness like garbage, letting wild animals bite them and mutilate them. These poor people did not even find peace after death.

Qi Bei didn't want to dwell on these unbearable past events. For him, being able to protect himself and his sister's lives in a difficult situation was already the luckiest thing that happened to him.

Seeing them wait until their family came to save them, and now telling him that the source of all this was actually their parents' sins, this is really hard to accept.

He walked to Qinan stubbornly, trying to get an answer from her.

"Sister, tell me, is this really the work of my parents?"

Qi Nan didn't want to involve these children with the grudges and grievances that the adults had before, but Qi Bei and the others were old enough to remember things.

It's time to let them know some things.

Otherwise, it would be a hidden mine for the future, which might blow them up completely.

She knelt down, held Qi Bei's thin shoulders with both hands, and said to him very solemnly: "The reason why you were abducted and trafficked is that the Wu family is also your maternal grandfather's family.

Your parents are insiders and are also involved. Maybe their targets are just Lele Yuanyuan and me.

But the Wu family took the blame for you. I don’t know how many children were abducted that day. The Wu family was later convicted and received the sanctions they deserved.

In the end, your mother was abandoned by the Qi family, and your father disappeared..."

Listening to Qi Nan calling "your father" and "your mother", Qi Bei felt very uncomfortable.

My sister should be the most disappointed one, right?

The Qi family has never had a good life since she was a child. She finally led the Qi family to make life better and better, but in the end something like this happened.
