“Can you do it?” Ling Sheng asked, looking at him worriedly. She was worried about her son, but she could not allow him to be knocked out and forced awake repeatedly.

“I’m Xiaoqi’s uncle.” After Si Chengluo said that, he looked at An Yan and was already prepared.

Ling Sheng watched as Si Chengluo was knocked out and woke up. When he woke up, he was knocked out again.

When Jun Shiyan heard the word ‘uncle’, he frowned slightly. At this critical moment, he could not be bothered to ask the young lady what was going on. Why did Xiaoqi suddenly have an uncle?

In the dark environment, it was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Xiaoqi had been awake for a very long time. He leaned against the wall and looked at the light coming through the crack in the door. He thought that it might be daytime outside.

When he was recording a show with his grandparents and playing games with the children, his vision suddenly turned black and he lost consciousness. When he woke up, he was locked up in here. He thought that he might have been kidnapped by human traffickers.

Grandpa, drandma, daddy, mommy, great-grandpa, great-grandma, and the rest, did they know about it now? They must be very worried and anxious.

Someone was crying next to him. It was a cute little girl who looked like a barbie doll. She was even younger than him. He kept talking to her, but no matter what he said or asked, she didn’t say anything, she just kept crying. She was definitely scared.

He was scared too, but grandpa said that if he was caught by the human traffickers, he shouldn’t be afraid. He had to think of a way to escape, but he didn’t know how. He was locked in an iron cage, like a cage in a circus where lions were kept.

Not far from the cage, there were a few bowls. After Xiaoqi broke one of the bowls, he used the porcelain pieces to grind the metal chain that locked the cage.

The girl who was hiding in the corner of the cage slowly raised her head. Her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, with crystal clear tears hanging on them. She looked at him with her big eyes curiously and finally said her first sentence, “What are you doing?”

Xiaoqi’s big eyes flashed with obvious surprise. He looked at the little girl who finally spoke and said happily, “I’m grinding the chains. I’ll save you.”

It turned out that this girl, who was as exquisite and beautiful as a barbie doll, could talk. She was not mute, and it was not that she could not hear him. She must have been frightened.

“It’s impossible for us to get out.” The little girl’s childish voice was abnormally hoarse. She shook her head with teary eyes. “The chain is so thick, you can’t possibly break it.”

“I can definitely do it.” Xiaoqi looked at her solemnly and said, “My grandfather once said that when there’s a will, there’s a way.”

Hearing his words, the little girl tilted her head. “Who’s your grandfather?”

Xiaoqi’s big eyes lit up. “My grandfather is Huo Ci. He is very powerful and will definitely come and save us.”

The little girl blinked her big eyes, full of doubt and unfamiliarity.

Xiaoqi said, “Don’t you know my grandpa?”

The little girl shook her head. ‘I don’t know him.’

“Then where is your home?” Xiaoqi was very happy. She was finally willing to talk to him. Was she no longer afraid of him?

“Rose Island.” The young lady’s voice was hoarse but soft.

“Where is Rose Island? In China?” Xiaoqi frowned.

“On the sea.” After the little girl was no longer afraid, her voice became louder. She counted on her fingers and said, “There’s Dad, Mom, me, and Uncle Ace on the island.”

“Are roses everywhere on Rose Island?”

“No. Our island has mountains, beautiful lakes, and very large boats. Lots of flowers of all kinds.”

“That must be pretty.”

“But they said I could never go back.”

“You can definitely go back. My grandfather will definitely come and save me.”

The little girl started crying again. Sparkling teardrops rolled down her tender cheeks like pearls.

Xiaoqi was at a loss and did not know how to comfort her. He imitated how his mommy would hug him every time she coaxed him. “Stop crying. I will definitely bring you out.”

Perhaps because she was in the same boat, or maybe because she trusted him, the girl sniffed and said in a baby voice, “My name is Sangyu, Sang of Mulberry Trees, Yu of Elm Trees.”

Xiaoqi replied, “My name is Xiaoqi, Ling Xiaoqi.”

The two little children were like lost chicks. In an unfamiliar environment where they were frightened, they could only rely on and trust each other.

Some time passed when the door opened. A fierce-looking man walked in through the door. He was short and scrawny. There was a scary scar on his face which made him look sinister. He had two steamed buns and a bottle of water in his hand and threw them into the cage. Seeing Little Sang Yu still crying, he cursed. “Brat, it has been a few days and you are still crying? If you keep crying, I will throw you into the sea to feed the sharks!”

If not for her good looks, he would have killed her long ago. It had been a week since he bought her, and she was still crying.

The rascal that he had just caught was honest and looked no worse than the girl. He was also sensible and could definitely be sold for a good price.

Xiaoqi picked up a steamed bun and looked up at the man in front of him. He had a harmless and innocent look on his face and his bright eyes were sparkling. “Uncle, where are we going?”

This was the first time the man had seen a child who was neither crying nor throwing a tantrum. He glanced at him with a dark expression and a sinister smile. “Of course, I’ll bring you to enjoy life. You should thank the heavens for meeting me. When the time comes, you’ll enjoy endless glory and wealth. Don’t forget me.”

He was part of the team that was aboveboard, but he was secretly involved in human trafficking around the world. He specifically targeted good-looking children.

The children in China, especially those with exquisite looks, were sold for high prices. After the buyer bought them, if they were qualified, they would be sent to the island to be nurtured and trained to serve.

Which one of those rich and powerful people didn’t have some fetishes? Therefore, the demand for children was huge. For such a young child, they usually needed two years of training before they could serve a noble. However, there were also noble people who liked such a young child.

“Thank you, Uncle.” Xiaoqi was still smiling, but his body had tensed up.

“You are a smart boy.” The man pointed at Little Sangyu who was standing in the corner and scolded her. “Unlike you who only knows how to cry. Learn from him.”

Little Sangyu suddenly stood up and rushed at Xiaoqi. She let out a scream while biting and kicking at him like a ferocious leopard..
