Chapter 229: Chapter 229: To be good friends for life. _1

At this moment, the authorities took away Mrs. Luo and other villagers involved in human trafficking.

Just as the vehicle was driving away, Mrs. Luo’s simple-minded son, not knowing where he came from, appeared with a shovel in his hands and chased after the car with fury, shouting as he ran, "Mom! Mom! Don’t take my mom! Let her go!"

He kept running until suddenly, he tripped and the shovel in his hand pierced his own heart, killing him instantly.

Upon turning and seeing this scene, Mrs. Luo was stricken with grief, "My son! My son!"

What a sin!

Buying a child from the trafficker only to end up with nothing; not only was the child gone, the money gone, but now her only biological son was gone too.

She used to not believe that doing bad things would lead to retribution, but now she believed.

...

In the Xia family’s car, Xia Ningxing also witnessed this scene. The authorities were now getting out of the car, seeing to the situation, and checking if the boy could be transported to the hospital for possible resuscitation.

Xia Ningxing looked away; she was not going to sympathize with her as she had brought it upon herself.

Choosing not to dwell on these messy affairs, Xia Ningxing glanced at Tuanzi cradled in her arms with a dirty little face, smiled, then found a clean towel to wipe his face.

Lu Tingli meanwhile helped prepare the formula.

"The formula is ready," Lu Tingli said as he handed her the baby bottle.

Anticipating that rescuing Tuanzi would require some necessities, they had come prepared with not just the bottle and formula, but also some clothes, shoes, socks, and so on...

"Thank you, Lu," Xia Ningxing put down the towel and while thanking him, took the bottle and noticed that the water was just the right temperature for an infant to drink.

She placed the bottle in Tuanzi’s tiny mouth, smiled, and looked up at him, "Lu, if you become a dad in the future, you’re definitely going to be a qualified ’milk dad.’"

"Really?" Lu Tingli tugged at the corner of his mouth, shyly turned his head away, as if embarrassed.

After all, Tuanzi was just a small infant, and after eating his fill, he closed his beautiful eyes and started snoring soundly, little bubbles forming on his nose.

After adjusting him to a comfortable sleeping position, Xia Ningxing turned her face back toward the boss.

She looked at his youthful face, his thick eyelashes fluttering slightly. Hesitating for a moment, she then asked softly, "Lu, can you tell me how you found out about Tuanzi’s whereabouts?"

She was really too curious!

Because Xia Ningxing knew all too well that even though the current male protagonist had money, his power and influence were nothing compared to the future, so she wondered how he could have possibly found out about Tuanzi’s whereabouts sooner than the higher-ups.

"I joined a research institute not long ago. The director of the institute has quite a background, so I asked him for help," Lu Tingli said casually, his obsidian-like eyes reflecting her childish face. He didn’t want her to feel burdened.

"I see..." Xia Ningxing’s mind raced, knowing well that he had paid a price.

The novel had mentioned that the boss was most interested in scientific research, but the management of the institute was strict, with iron-clad discipline. He was someone who disliked constraints, so he had joined as a special advisor at the time, enjoying a lot of freedom.

But now, he had directly joined the research institute...

And it was to help her find Tuanzi that he had done it!

This kindness, Xia Ningxing would engrave in her heart, planning to find the right opportunity to repay him properly in the future. For now, she tilted her little head and gave him a sincere smile, "Thank you, Lu!"

"We’re friends, aren’t we? No need to be polite," Lu Tingli smiled back at her, his youthful and handsome face glowing with gentle warmth of spring.

Xia Ningxing nodded vigorously, "Yes! We are friends!"

To be good friends for a lifetime.
