No matter how peaceful and prosperous the times were, there were certain things that would happen. For example, beggars and thieves, because there were always people who wanted to get their hands on them.

Xu Taiping was used to seeing all sorts of situations in life, so to him, a beggar with maggots on his legs would not cause any fluctuations in his mood. Xu Taiping was used to all kinds of situations in life, so to him, a beggar with maggots on his legs would not cause any fluctuations in his mood.

Early the next morning, after Xu Taiping had washed and washed up, he had arrived at the school gate early in the morning and opened it.

Not only were there a huge number of dormitory students in Jiangyuan University, but there were also a lot of well-connected students. By seven in the morning, there were already a lot of people coming and going at the school's entrance: some were going in, some were going to class, some were going out, and some were going for breakfast.

Every time this happened, the security guards of the security department had to be extra careful. They had to maintain order outside the school gate so as to avoid any crowded or trampling incidents.

Xu Taiping had a toothpick in his mouth. He had just eaten a meat bun, a fried dough stick, and an egg and a bottle of soy milk from the breakfast stand. His blood was still digesting the food, so he was a bit lazy.

At this moment, in the crowd of students, one person caught Xu Taiping's attention.

It was a young but very old woman. The reason she was young was because she was at most 30 years old, and the reason she was old was because even though she was only 30 years old, her hair was completely gray, and her clothes looked very old.

She was carrying a not-so-big travel bag with a kettle, bowl, etc. In her hand was a photo of a child. Because Xu Taiping was tens of meters away, he couldn't see the child's face clearly.

The woman kept holding the photos and asking the students around her. All of them shook their heads.

Xu Taiping walked over. When he got close, he heard what the woman said.

"Have you seen this child? Have you seen this child?" The woman mechanically asked the people around her. Originally, there were a lot of people at the school gate, and some even stopped to listen to her questions.

"Big Sis, this is the school gate." Xu Taiping walked in front of him and said, "If you want to find someone, you can go out a bit. There's too many people right now."

"Sorry, sorry." The old woman apologized again and again and was about to walk away, but she seemed to have thought of something else. She held the photo in her hand and said to Xu Taiping, "Big brother security, have you seen this child before?"

Xu Taiping looked at the person in the photo. It was a seven or eight year old child with bright eyes and white teeth. He looked very cute.

She had been looking for her child for so many years, and had asked so many people, but the answers were all the same. She had never gotten the answer she wanted, to the point where she never had any expectations for the answer. She just asked this question as a matter of routine, without even being disappointed.

"I have." Xu Taiping suddenly said.

The old woman had already turned around. Hearing Xu Taiping's words, her body trembled a little, then she turned around, picked up the photo and said, "Big brother security, have you really met him before?"

"I've really seen it before." Xu Taiping nodded.

While searching for her son, she had encountered many swindlers. Some people wanted to swindle money, some people wanted to swindle her body, there were too many different kinds of swindlers, her money had already been swindled clean, and her body had naturally been swindled quite a few times. Thus, looking into Xu Taiping's eyes, she was somewhat on guard.

"I saw it yesterday. It's here." Xu Taiping pointed at the door and said, "Although it doesn't look like this kid, this photo should be from three or four years ago, right?"

"Really?!" The woman's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up. She had encountered so many swindlers along the way, but none of them could accurately tell that this photo was taken a few years ago. Only Xu Taiping could tell at a glance.

"Why would I lie to you?" Xu Taiping said, "But the child I saw yesterday was a beggar."

"Pauper?" The woman excitedly grabbed Xu Taiping and said, "Please, big brother security, tell me, where is he? Where is he? "

"I don't know." Xu Taiping shook his head, "Yesterday, he only came once, and then he left. He hasn't come before."

"I came by once yesterday … I was here yesterday. My Little Treasure, my Little Treasure! " The woman was so excited that she was spinning around in the same place.

"Your child was kidnapped?" As someone who spent most of his life in the martial arts world, Xu Taiping could easily judge this woman's situation.

"That's my Little Treasure." The woman shouted excitedly, "Big brother, will he come today? "Will it?"

"I don't know." Xu Taiping shrugged and said, "I only met him once. Maybe he'll come, maybe he won't."

"Then it's still possible for him to come!" The woman clenched her fists and said, "I will wait for him here, I will wait for him here!"

"It's fine as long as you don't block the door. You can stay anywhere else." With that, Xu Taiping turned and left.

He did not help others find their interest in children, because every year, Hua Xia lost many children, tens of thousands, he was a killer, a martial artist, not a philanthropist, nor a hero. This society followed the rules that he had passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, and Xu Taiping had no interest in changing it, nor did he have the ability to do so.

He turned and walked back to the guardhouse. Then he sat down on a chair and looked out.

The old woman walked to the side of the school gate, placed her bag on the ground and sat on top of it.

He sat there all morning.

Xu Taiping walked around the school. When he got back to the guardroom, it was already noon, and the woman was still sitting there with a piece of bread in her hand, as if she was eating lunch.

Although it was already autumn, the weather was still very hot. Furthermore, that woman was sitting in a place with no shelter at all, completely exposed to the sunlight.

Xu Taiping frowned as he walked out of the guard room and stood beside the man.

"Sit here, you'll suffer from heatstroke. Go to the other side and take the light from the other side." Xu Taiping pointed across the street.

"No, thank you, Big Brother." The woman wiped the sweat off her face and said, "I'm sitting here, so I can see a bit more clearly. The words on the other side are too far away, so I'm afraid I might miss out on my Little Treasure."

This was a large door. If someone had walked through it, they would definitely be able to see it clearly. How could they miss it?

He looked at his watch and saw that it was already 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the time of the day when the sun was the most scorching. There were no clouds in the sky and the weather was good, but for people under the sun, the weather wasn't too good.

"Let's go inside and wait." Xu Taiping pointed to the guard room, "It's right by the door. If anyone comes, you can see them clearly."

"Really, really?" The woman looked nervously at Xu Taiping.

"Yes." Xu Taiping nodded, turned around and walked back into the guard room.

He was not a compassionate person, but in his heart, there was still a soft place that had once belonged to his parents.

Xu Taiping had lost his parents at such a young age, and so his heart was touched by this woman in front of him who was so focused on finding her child.

The woman carefully followed Xu Taiping into the guardhouse.

There was a cool breeze in the guardhouse, and the sight was especially good.

"Sit down, I'll go out for a bit." Wait a moment. " Xu Taiping walked out of the guard room.

The woman nervously sat on the chair and stared out the window.

After about five minutes, Xu Taiping walked into the guardhouse with a bag in his hand.

"Here's the Egg Fried Rice and soup. You can eat first." Xu Taiping handed the bag over.

"No need, big brother. I am already grateful for your kindness. How can I eat your food?" The woman shook her head and said.

"You're going to let me eat if I buy everything?" Xu Taiping placed the bag on the table beside the woman.

The woman hesitated for a moment before opening the bag and taking out the box of rice.

"Thank you, big brother. Thank you so much." The woman's eyes were filled with tears. She had been on this journey of searching for her son for nearly four years, and because of a carelessness four years ago, her children had been kidnapped and sold away. Because of this mistake, her husband and his family had left her, and her parents had died because of the loss of her grandson's depression.

Xu Taiping didn't say anything. He looked out the window at the students dressed in bright clothes walking by, sighing in his heart.

He waited until the sun had set.

"Director Xu, Old Zhao's back. Let's have dinner tonight. Let me ask you if you're free." Chen Wen pushed open the door and asked. When he saw the old woman, he asked in surprise, "Who is she?"

"I have a friend who is here to see her son. "Where is Old Zhao?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Oh!" Chen Wen nodded and said, "7 o'clock, Forong Hotel. Let's go together later."

"En, alright!" Xu Taiping nodded. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
