Yan Mei went to take care of the little girl, instructing the butler to bring over the freshly warmed porridge and dishes.
Zhao Ruihai used his phone to take a few clear pictures of the girl’s face and sent them to his former subordinate at the Donghai City Public Security Bureau, explaining the situation.
The subordinate, upon receiving the message from his old boss, immediately replied,
“Leave it to me, I’ll start the facial recognition search and activate the Skynet surveillance system right away.
Don’t worry, Donghai City’s facial recognition system is connected nationwide.
If there’s any registration information for this little girl anywhere, we can pull it right up.”
“Even if we can’t find anything, we have the Skynet System!
This little girl has grown up to this age; it’s not like she sprang out of a stone.
As long as she’s ever been captured by a surveillance camera, we can definitely track her movements in the Skynet System.”
“It won’t take half an hour to get a result, just wait for my call.”
Having said that, the old subordinate immediately went to work.
Zhao Ruihai reentered the bedroom and watched the little girl eat her meal, bite by bite, growing fonder by the moment:
“Has she spoken yet?”

Zhao Ruihai asked Yan Mei,“Have you communicated with her?”
Yan Mei shook her head:
“No, she’s still not saying anything.
But I feel like it’s not that she doesn’t want to speak…
it’s like she doesn’t know how to speak.”
“Moreover, this little girl is really nice!
She’s quiet and cute, and she seems to understand what I am saying.
Look how well she uses the spoon and chopsticks!”
Zhao Ruihai watched the little girl sit on the edge of the bed, quietly eating, and indeed, his fondness grew even stronger.
He had always liked children, and he enjoyed taking care of them.
It was just that the previous family planning policy didn’t give him a chance, and now his only daughter, Zhao Yingjun, also wasn’t giving him a chance…
The thought made him sigh:
“Ah, if only I could have a granddaughter as pretty and cute as her someday, but with Yingjun’s situation, it seems like an eternity away…
Not to mention raising a granddaughter to this age, being able to see her at all is a problem!”
“All my colleagues and friends are cuddling their grandsons and granddaughters now.
Sometimes we can’t even gather for a meal because they’re busy with the kids.
Though they complain with their lips, they’re actually showing off.”
“When will it be my turn to be chased around by a little one calling me ‘Grandpa, Grandpa’ …”
The little girl at the bedside put down her cutlery, drawn by Zhao Ruihai’s voice.
She turned her head:
“Gran…
dpa…”
What??
Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei instantly widened their eyes.
Zhao Ruihai quickly moved to the bedside and squatted down, looking at Yan Mei:
“She can speak!”
“Yes!” Yan Mei also broke into a happy smile:
“She can talk!
Maybe we were speaking too fast before, and she couldn’t understand us, so she didn’t know what to say…
When you slowed down while saying ‘Grandpa, Grandpa,’ didn’t she understand?”
Yan Mei, caught up in the excitement, took the little girl’s hand and gently, slowly taught her:
“Grandma…
Grandma…
Can you say ‘Grandma’ and try?”
The little girl looked at Yan Mei and, after several attempts, said:
“Grand…
ma?”
“Oh my!
Look, Zhao!
She really can talk!”
Yan Mei, who had been a teacher for a lifetime, had never been so thrilled; the sense of achievement she felt at that moment was even greater than when she was selected as a distinguished lecturer for the Thousand Talents Program.
Perhaps…
Just now, the old couple had set their expectations for the girl too low, thinking she was deaf and dumb, had learning disabilities.
So,
now that they found out she could understand and learn to speak…
it made the elderly couple unconsciously overlook the fact that she was already a teenager.
Isn’t it normal for her to be able to speak?
Yan Mei happily chatted with the little girl, asking questions.
Although the little girl couldn’t answer everything yet, the words she could say were becoming more and more numerous, and the sentences she spoke were getting longer.
The impression was that her intelligence seemed fine, almost as if she had just woken from a deep sleep and her mind wasn’t fully alert yet.
The old couple spent over an hour in the living room, playing with the little girl.
She was able to communicate normally now, but her memory seemed blank; she couldn’t remember anything, and complex things were beyond her understanding.
Zhao Ruihai picked up his phone.
What’s going on with this old subordinate?
He said it would take half an hour to get a result, but it’s been an hour and still no word…
The parents of the child must be worried sick from her being missing for so long.
Why isn’t he hurrying up the search?
He directly dialed his old subordinate:
“Xiao Wang, have you found information about the little girl?
Who are her parents?”
On the other end of the line,
the subordinate sounded as if he had seen a ghost:
“This…
it’s not that we aren’t searching.
Everyone in the information department has been working on the facial recognition system, but we couldn’t match a single one!”
“The Skynet System is the same.
Usually, when data of such a clear face is input, the movements can be traced instantly.
But we’ve been looking for a long time now, and there’s no trace in the Skynet System either.”
“So, it might be irresponsible to say this…
but we have never encountered such a situation in all these years.

It feels like this little girl really did pop out of a stone!”
“Nonsense!”
Zhao Ruihai immediately rebuked him:
“Even if she sprang from a stone, she’s grown this big; it’s impossible to have no information.
Did the missing children’s report section receive any reports of parents looking for this kind of child?”
“Well…
there’s none, we’ve checked.
In the past few days, there have been no missing child cases in the entire Donghai City.”
