Zhou Yunlin had expected Chu Xuhua’s reaction. He smiled and said, “Manager Chu, can you negotiate with me without worry now?”

However, Chu Xuhua’s response surprised him, “May I take some time to consider? The food festival ends in three days, and I’d like to give you an answer the day after tomorrow.”

Zhou Yunlin was puzzled, “Why is that?”

Chu Xuhua explained, “I just want to think it over.” The richest man in Daling seeking cooperation was unbelievable. What if it was a trap?

After thinking, Zhou Yunlin nodded, “Okay, we’ll talk again the day after tomorrow.”

At that moment, a commotion arose, accompanied by a woman’s crying…

“This is my child, give me back my child…” A woman cried, trying to snatch a child from an old woman’s arms, but the old woman quickly dodged her.

In the old woman’s arms, a child over one year old cried loudly, attracting a crowd that formed a circle around them.

“This is my grandson, what right do you have to say he’s your child?” The old woman said fiercely.

“Exactly!” An old man emerged from the crowd, gently patting the child’s back with a loving look, “Grandson, don’t cry, grandpa will chase away the bad people.”

The woman sobbed uncontrollably, “That’s my child. I was choosing things at a stall just now, and Xiao Bao was standing in front of me. When I looked again, someone was trying to take him away. He really is my child. Xiao Bao, come to mommy.”

The old woman tightly hugged the child, pinching him secretly when the woman approached, causing the child to cry louder.

“If he were your child, would he cry when you approach? You’re a human trafficker trying to steal my grandson. Everyone, look, she’s a liar and a trafficker.”

The old man also said, “There are all kinds of people in the world, but I’ve never seen anyone so brazenly try to steal someone’s child.”

The woman insisted, “Xiao Bao really is my child. If you don’t believe me, he’s wearing a longevity lock I bought for him, with ‘Xiao Bao’ engraved on it.”

The old woman pulled out the longevity lock, angrily saying, “This was bought by my daughter-in-law for Xiao Bao. Since when did you buy it?”

A couple squeezed through the crowd, rushing over, “Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao, daddy and mommy are here, don’t be afraid.”

The woman from the couple took the child from the old woman’s arms, “Xiao Bao, mommy will take you home now.”

The child cried even harder.

Seeing this, the woman also cried more intensely, “That’s my child. Please help me, help me get my child back.”

The man from the couple pointed at the woman, scolding, “If you want a son, have your own. How can you claim someone else’s child as your own?”

The woman knelt down, pleading, “Please, everyone, speak up for me. Xiao Bao really is my child. They are the traffickers.”

Everyone was unsure who to believe as both sides seemed convincing.

“Don’t talk nonsense, Xiao Bao is my grandson.” The old woman looked annoyed, “Let’s go before we get falsely accused and can’t clear our name.”

The woman holding Xiao Bao comforted him softly, “Don’t cry, mommy will take you home.” She began to push through the crowd to leave.

The woman blocked her path desperately, “Give me back my child…”

The man kicked her away, “Get lost, how dare you claim someone else’s child. Traffickers are so bold these days.”

“I’m not a trafficker, I’m the child’s mother. The child is mine. Xiao Bao, come to mommy.” The woman, kicked away, lunged forward again.

The crowd parted once more as another couple approached.

“We are this child’s uncle and aunt. This child belongs to our family, not that woman.”

The crowd, seeing so many people on their side, gradually believed the old woman’s words.

“If you want a child, go home and have one with your husband, don’t steal someone else’s child!”

“Yes, you can’t just covet and steal other people’s children!”

“Go back, the child isn’t yours, you can’t force it.”

Hearing these words, the woman cried harder, gasping for air, feeling helpless, and looked at Xiao Bao worriedly, “No, no, don’t listen to their nonsense!”

Chu Xujin and Ge Lihua, along with several plainclothes constables, walked over. The constables subtly surrounded the group.contemporary romance

Chu Xuhua, with a stern face, asserted his authority, “We are from the government, what happened here?”

Hearing they were from the government, the woman clung to them like a lifeline, “Sir, they stole my child. Please, I beg you to seek justice for me.”

Chu Xuhua helped the woman up, “Don’t worry, I will ensure justice is served!”

Chu Qingzhi, showcasing products on the stage, also paid attention to the commotion. Was this a scheme by the princess?

The woman turned towards her child, both anxious and fearful, “Child, mommy will save you.”

Someone said, “Sir, both parties claim the child is theirs, and both seem genuine. Who do we believe?”

Chu Xujin raised a hand, signaling them to calm down, “Proving whose child it is is simple.”

He approached the child, reaching to pick him up. The woman dodged, preventing Chu Xujin from holding him, “You say you’re from the government, but who can prove it?”

“We all can,” someone said, “They often patrol the streets, and this official is good at solving cases. We’ve seen them.”

Another person added, “They are indeed from the government. That lady is the only female constable from the government. Out of curiosity, we watched her patrolling.”

Chu Xujin showed his official badge, “Does this prove it now?”

How interesting.

He said that he was from the government. On one hand, they were asking for his help. On the other hand, they were actually questioning his identity.

The woman fell silent, warily watching Chu Xujin, “How do you propose we prove it?”

“It’s simple. Put the child on the ground, you stand on one side,” Chu Xujin pointed to the woman, “and she stands on the other. Whichever side the child runs to, that’s the truth.”

Children of a few months can recognize people, let alone a child over a year old. Moreover, children are very dependent on their mothers.

The woman took a step back with the child in her arms and refused to give it to anyone. “What if you cheat?”

The old woman beside her walked over and wanted to stop Chu Xujin. “Yes, the child’s judgment is not well-developed. What if he got the wrong person?”

Chu Xujin pursed his lips slightly and said in a serious tone, “Don’t worry, a one-year-old child won’t mistake his mother.” He suddenly said coldly, “You’re so uncooperative. Are you a liar?”

The woman immediately felt a strong pressure. She did not dare to refuse and placed the child on the ground.

As soon as the child was on the ground, he ran straight towards the other woman, “Mommy.”

The instinct to seek comfort and avoid harm is innate. When a child is hurt, the first thing is to find their mother, and that too is instinctive..
