The officer who received Mu Jinyu's call listened to his story and happily agreed, promising to deploy officers to capture the kidnappers and instructing Mu Jinyu to first bring the little girl to their station.
Mu Jinyu agreed, then hung up the phone and asked Gu Xiyan to drive the car to the station.
Gu Xiyan responded with a nod, then murmured her complaint, "You know, you're really reckless, not even knowing how many kidnappers there are and daring to rush in to save soone."
Mu Jinyu said indifferently, "If it were an adult who got kidnapped, of course, I wouldn't bother much and just calling the police would be good enough. But the victim is just a six or seven-year-old girl. I can't ignore that; my conscience wouldn't allow it."
Gu Xiyan sighed lightly and said, "As long as you are safe, just don't be so reckless next ti."
After finishing her words, she turned her head to glance at Xiaoya, who looked delicate and exquisite, and with a slightly furrowed brow, said, "You know, I feel like I've seen this little girl sowhere before."
"I also feel like I've seen Sister sowhere before," Xiaoya said with a sweet smile as she looked at Gu Xiyan.
"Hehe..." Gu Xiyan smiled back at her and then focused on driving.
...
A few minutes later,
Gu Xiyan parked the car at a certain police station.
The officer who had dealt with Mu Jinyu previously was already waiting at the entrance.
When Mu Jinyu stepped out of the car, carrying Xiaoya, the officer stared at her, initially shocked, blinked several tis to make sure he wasn't seeing things, then suddenly swallowed hard.
He never expected that the little "ancestress" who had thrown the entire River City police force into chaos was now rescued by Mu Jinyu.
"Mr. Mu, you've really done us a great favor!"
The officer quickly trotted over and grasped Mu Jinyu's free hand tightly, his expression filled with gratitude and emotion.
"What happened?"
Mu Jinyu, seeing his excited deanor, was also confused and perplexed, he asked.
"Do you know who this little 'ancestress' is?"
The officer, seeing Mu Jinyu's clueless face, paused for a mont before speaking in a low and cautious tone.
"I don't know; I didn't save her because of her identity!"
Mu Jinyu, feeling sowhat baffled, said, and was about to hand Xiaoya over to the officer, adding at the sa ti, "Alright, I've brought her to you, contact her family. I'm heading back now."
Though, based on what the officer implied, Xiaoya's identity might be significant, and it might be better to wait for her family to co and pick her up after acknowledging his help. However, Mu Jinyu cared little for such favors and didn't want to foolishly wait at the police station for her family.
Naturally, having handed over the girl to the officer, he was ready to slip away.
The officer, taking Xiaoya from him, felt sowhat helpless.
God knows how many in River City wanted to rescue this little girl and have the Du Family owe them a favor, potentially leveraging it to establish a connection with the powerful Du Family.
Yet Mu Jinyu was ready to give up on that opportunity.
The officer found it both baffling and admirable.
"Big brother, don't go!"
Just as Mu Jinyu was about to leave and head ho for a shower, a calling voice suddenly ca from behind him.
At the sa ti, he also felt that his clothes were being tugged on.
Turning around, Mu Jinyu saw Xiaoya being held by the police officer, her face full of panic and fear, constantly twisting her body, and one of her little hands was tightly clutching his clothes as if afraid he would abandon her.
Mu Jinyu felt helpless and sighed, "Xiaoya, don't be afraid, he is a police uncle, he will protect you until your family cos back to get you."
"Big brother, don't leave Xiaoya behind." Xiaoya clung tightly to Mu Jinyu's clothes, her eyes watery as she looked up at him, her face full of pleading and fear.
"Perhaps we should wait a bit longer." Gu Xiyan checked the ti; it was just past eight, not too late, so she suggested waiting.
Mu Jinyu sighed softly, reached out to rub Xiaoya's head, and handed her a tissue to wipe her tears and runny nose. He sighed, "Alright, big brother will stay, and I'll leave after your family arrives."
Only then did Xiaoya break into a smile, and she continued to struggle in the officer's arms, trying to jump back into Mu Jinyu's embrace.
The officer, not daring to let the little troublemaker jump down in case she bumped or hurt herself, which would spell disaster for him.
He quickly coaxed her in a trembling voice, then handed Xiaoya over to Mu Jinyu.
Back in Mu Jinyu's arms, the fearful expression on Xiaoya's little face finally disappeared completely, yet still, her small hands clung tightly to his collar.
"Officer, hearing your tone, you must know her family, right? Please hurry and contact them." Mu Jinyu, holding Xiaoya, turned to the police officer and said.
"Yes, I understand, I'll contact Mr. Du right away."
The officer quickly responded, after speaking, he took out his phone to contact Xiaoya's family.
"The Dus?"
Upon hearing the officer's words and seeing his respectful attitude, then looking at Xiaoya's exquisitely adorable face, Gu Xiyan felt a familiar sensation surge in her heart.
A thought flashed through her mind, and Gu Xiyan said, "The Du family? Could she be Patriarch Du's granddaughter? Du Xiaoya?!"
The officer was respectfully talking with Xiaoya's family, clearly unable to answer her.
But his behavior confird Gu Xiyan's guess.
"Patriarch Du? Who is that?"
Seeing Gu Xiyan's expression suddenly turn to one of surprise and excitent, Mu Jinyu, holding Xiaoya, raised his eyebrows and asked.
Looking at Xiaoya in Mu Jinyu's arms, Gu Xiyan's eyes sparkled with excitent as she explained:
"Isn't there the Four Major Families in River City? The Xu Family is in real estate, transportation, and logistics, while the Jiang Family is in banking and e-comrce. However, they are just the last two of the major families, with the Du Family ranked second." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ noᴠelfire
"The second family, huh?" Mu Jinyu hadn't expected the little girl in his arms to co from such a prominent family. He then asked, "And which industry does the Du Family specialize in?"
Gu Xiyan cautiously glanced at the officer contacting the Du Family, and said, "The Du Family doesn't really do business; they mainly develop their influence in the temples of power."
"Temples of power?" Mu Jinyu raised his eyebrows.
Gu Xiyan explained, "Let put it this way, the current Governor of River City is a student of Patriarch Du, and the Governor of Jiangnan is Patriarch Du's eldest son."
"Such a big background?" Mu Jinyu was taken aback, then looking at the sowhat timid Du Xiaoya in his arms, he said, "So she..."
"Yes, she is indeed the daughter of the current Governor of Jiangnan, Du Xiaoya."
"Wow." Mu Jinyu imdiately clicked his tongue, never having imagined that the little girl he had casually saved had such a significant background!
