“Lingyu, what’s going on?”

As soon as Xiao Lingyu hung up the phone, the villagers beside her immediately asked in confusion.

Xiao Lingyu, however, said to the villagers very seriously, “Uncle Chun, Uncle Cai, please go back and detain this child’s parents now. Don’t let them escape!”

The surrounding people were instantly shocked.

“Lingyu, do you mean it was the parents who had harmed this child?” Uncle Chun asked.

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “It’s hard to say now. Let’s wait for the police to come.”

The few people did not ask any further questions. They knew the seriousness of the matter, so they just had to go and stop the parents.

Attempted murder?

That was very serious…

After Uncle Chun and the others left, someone could not control his curiosity and doubt and ask, “What happened? Lingyu, what’s going on? How did you know that the child was here? And how did you determine that the parents wanted to harm the child?”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “I just had a premonition. I felt the child’s summon, so I ran over directly.”

She couldn’t explain it at all. She couldn’t say it was Xiao Ling who told her the child’s whereabouts, so she could only use this method to explain.

When the villagers and the surrounding tourists heard this, they were skeptical.

At this time, Eldest Aunt Xiao said, “Lingyu’s sixth sense has been very strong since she was young, and she’s also very sensitive. This child has always believed in her intuition. So, she must have found the child just by relying on her intuition.”

Eldest Aunt Xiao was also puzzled as to why Xiao Lingyu would suddenly find the child. However, it was clearly inconvenient for Xiao Lingyu to go into details, so she covered up this lie for her.

The surrounding people nodded in surprise.

Someone said, “I’ve long heard that a woman’s sixth sense is very very accurate.”

“I’m also a woman. To be honest, I think my sixth sense has helped me successfully avoid danger several times already.”

“I’ve also had such an experience!”

A group of women were chattering and immediately changed the topic.

…

Soon, the group of people met up with Mr. and Mrs. Li.

Uncle Chun and the others did not directly detain the person, nor did they mention to the couple that Xiao Lingyu had called the police. Therefore, the couple had no idea that Xiao Lingyu had called the police.

When the couple saw the child in Father Xiao’s hands, they immediately shook off the hand holding their two children and rushed over.

However, the two of them did not take the child from Father Xiao’s hands.

Instead, Mrs. Li cried loudly the moment she came close. “Aiyo, my poor child, you’ve suffered. You’ve only been missing for more than an hour, and you’ve already been covered in injuries! This farm does not even have a safety measure. This is mommy’s fault to have lost you!”

She was insinuating that it was the farm’s fault that her child was injured.

Mr. Li couldn’t hide the anger on his face, “We have come on this trip as a family. We came here due to the reputation of the farm resort. Unexpectedly, this farm doesn’t live up to its name at all. You don’t even have proper safety measures. We came as a family of five but would return as a family of four. A good family is broken up just like that.”

The husband and wife did not pay attention to the strange expressions of the people around them.

Mrs. Li sat on the ground and wailed loudly, “My poor Xiao Ming, why did you leave me just like that?”

Mr. Li’s expression could not hide the sadness on his face. He said sorrowfully, “Xiao Ming, you wanted to come here and enjoy yourself. Father and Mother have satisfied you, so why did you leave us like this?”

Seeing this sorrowful scene, the crowd around them said mischievously, “Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, please accept my condolences! You should take the child back and make proper arrangements!” He didn’t go further than that. After all, the child was only unconscious and did not really pass away.

Some of the crowds could not hide their smiles.

It was a pity that the couple who had performed the song and dance did not notice the abnormality in the crowd.

When they heard someone say such words, the wailing Mrs. Li immediately jumped up from the ground. She pointed angrily at Xiao Lingyu and said arrogantly, “Why do I need any condolences? My poor child is gone just like that. Let me tell you. My son was very healthy when we came here. He’s now gone from us. You’re not going anywhere until you give us an explanation!”

Xiao Lingyu’s eyes flashed, and she asked with a serious expression, “Mrs. Li, I will definitely be responsible for the child’s accident. I just don’t know what kind of explanation you want from me, Mrs. Li.”

Mrs. Li looked around, and then she said with a matter-of-fact expression, “Hmph, how else do you think? Of course, I need you to compensate me!”

Xiao Lingyu said, “Oh? How much do you want me to compensate you then?”

Mrs. Li said loudly, “Of course, it’s a million! Didn’t I say that before?”

Xiao Lingyu pretended to be confused and asked, “Did Mrs. Li say it before?” Then, she seemed to have realized something and said, “Oh, I remember now. Mrs. Li did say that if the child’s body were found, I would have to pay one million.”

Mrs. Li was secretly happy when she heard that. She said, “It’s good that you still remember up. Hurry up and give us the money. We won’t bother you anymore. We’ll take the child’s body and leave!”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “It’s no problem for me to pay the money. But I have a question that I’d like to ask Mrs. Li and Mr. Li to answer for me.”

Mrs. Li was happy about the imminent one million, and she couldn’t hide the joy on her face. She smiled and nodded, “Ask away!”

Xiao Lingyu’s expression immediately changed, and she asked with a very strict expression., “Actually, I just want to ask Mr. and Mrs. Li, why were you so sure that we’d find the child’s body before we even started the search? Also, how can you be so sure that the child is dead since you’ve not even checked on him after he’s found?”

The question was very sharp!

Mr. and Mrs. Li were stunned.

When they came back to their senses, both of their faces were pale. The joy they had just felt disappeared in an instant. Instead, it was replaced by panic and nervousness.

Mrs. Li’s eyes were darting, and she looked guilty. It was obvious that she did not want to answer.

As for Mr. Li, it was only then that he realized that the crowd was actually watching them make a fool of themselves. No one was feeling sad due to the death of a child.

He opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer Xiao Lingyu’s question.

Xiao Lingyu asked sharply again, “Mr. and Mrs. Li, why aren’t you answering?”

At this moment, Eldest Aunt Xiao hurried over. She was unable to hide her anger.

She glared at Mr. and Mrs. Li, then said, “Lingyu, the Doctor said that the child has been given an overdose of sleeping pills and has been in a critical condition for some time. He must be sent to the county hospital for treatment as soon as possible!”

“What?” Not only did Xiao Lingyu’s expression change, but the expressions of the people around her also changed drastically.

Xiao Lingyu glared at the couple with her sharp eyes, then looked at the people around her and said, “Please keep an eye on them. The police should be here soon. But the child is in an urgent condition. I must send the child to the hospital immediately!”

“Go, Lingyu. Hurry up. The child is more important.”

“Don’t worry, Lady Boss. We will keep an eye on them!”

“Bastard! I knew there was something wrong with this couple. But I didn’t think they’d be so crazy to attempt to kill their own child!”

“Is he even their biological son? Otherwise, how could they be so cruel to their child?”

“But why would they come here to do this?” Someone couldn’t help but ask in puzzlement.

But someone quickly figured it out.

“This is a fraud! They want the child to have the accident here and use the child’s death to force the farm owner to pay. You heard it just now. This woman said from the beginning that she wanted the farm owner to pay more than a million. She also insisted on one million after the child was found.”

“Yes, this is a fraud and scam!”

“They are too crazy. For a mere million, they actually attempted to kill a child. They are worse than animals!”

Mr. and Mrs. Li, who was surrounded by the crowd, had pale faces. They looked very anxious and helpless.

However, Mr. Li defended himself, “No, we didn’t hurt the child!

“He is our biological son. How could I hurt the child?”

“Yes, yes, he is our biological child. We would never abuse him.” Mrs. Li argued loudly, “He was fine when he was with us. We have no idea about the sleeping pills. How could my child be fed with sleeping pills?”

Mr. Li also came to his senses and defended himself, “That’s right. We were fine when we were together. Who would be sick enough to feed my son with sleeping pills?”

At this moment, someone beside him sneered, “Are you still acting? No matter. After the police officers arrive, the truth will be revealed!”

“Oh, the child was sent to the hospital. Aren’t you guys worried?” Someone asked curiously.

“Hehe, of course, they are worried. They’re worried that once the child is rescued, they won’t get their one million anymore!”

When Mr. and Mrs. Li heard that the people from the police station would be coming over, they became even more uneasy and panicked. There were so many people around them that they couldn’t escape even if they wanted to.

At this moment, the little girl next to Mr. Li suddenly said, “So what if that bastard’s dead? What’s the big deal?”

The scene was silent, except for the sounds of insects around them.

The little girl didn’t know how shocking her words were.

She continued, “My mother said that that bastard deserves to die. It’s better that he’s dead so that he won’t waste our food. He only knows how to eat and drink. What an annoying freeloader!”

Everyone, “…” this little girl was so young, yet her words were so vicious.

At this moment, someone couldn’t help but berate her, “How can you speak like this? No matter what, he’s still your big brother, right? How can you gloat over the possibility that he might be dead? Who taught you to speak like this? How can you be so uneducated?”

The little girl had always been a pampered little princess at home. She had always been high and mighty, and her family had never been willing to say anything harsh to her.

But now, she was directly reprimanded by a stranger, and she immediately cried out in grievance.

She said loudly, “He’s not my big brother! How can you scold me? You’re all bad people!”

Everyone, “…” This child definitely needed a lesson in manners.

When Mr. Li saw the child crying, his nervous expression calmed down slightly.

He looked at his son beside him. He had a plan in mind.

He pinched his son, and his son immediately cried out in pain.

The cries of the two children were especially prominent on this quiet night.

Mr. Li wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and said with a pitiful expression, “I’m sorry. We really didn’t know how our son was fed the sleeping pills. Look at my two children. They are still young. If they cry like this, their bodies will definitely be damaged. Can we go back to the inn first and settle these two children down?”

The surrounding crowd looked at the two children. Even though the girl appeared a little unruly, the children were innocent. It was indeed not good to let the children stand there and cry.

However, these two people might be the main culprits who hurt the child. It would not be good if they escaped.

Mother Xiao looked at the crying children and did not know what to do.

At this moment, Xiao Letong said, “This is easy. Just get someone to carry these two children back to the inn.”

Mr. Li’s expression changed and he immediately said, “My children don’t want strangers to carry them.”

Xiao Letong looked a little puzzled and said, “Oh, really?” Then he asked in puzzlement, “Uncle, I didn’t even specify who should carry them. The two of you could carry them back to the inn. We’ll walk all the way back to the inn with you. Is there a problem? Or do you intend to have the two kids walk back to the inn on their own? Then, you could use the chaos caused by the kids and escape?”

Mr. Li, who had been exposed by a little brat, had a livid expression.

Mr. Li gritted his teeth and said, “That’s not true!”

Xiao Letong nodded and said, “I hope you’re right. Because if not, you’d be the kind of parents who’d abandon another two children to escape. Then, you’d be very horrible parents.”

Mr. Li’s expression became particularly ugly.

Xiao Letong said again, “Actually, anyone on the scene can see through your little tricks. It’s just that a child like me doesn’t mind pointing it out. However, uncle, why are you so vicious that you’d attempt to kill your eldest son?”

Everyone, “…”

The police who had just arrived, “…”

Is this child a reborn detective?
