Fang Taoran’s escape from home scared Fang Yusheng out of his wits.
Fang Yusheng called the police and asked Qi Bufan to send people to search Binjiang City with the police to find Fang Taoran. They searched for the entire day and finally found her in a van driving to a town.
It was all thanks to Fang Zicheng that he could find Fang Taoran.
After a few years of growing up, Fang Zicheng, who had accidentally eaten the medicine that Chi Baoguang had developed to change the human body, experienced another change. When he was five years old, he realized that he could hear the thoughts of everyone he had come into contact with. At first, he could only hear voices within a few hundred meters. Gradually, the range he could hear became wider and wider.
He could hear things close to him and tens of thousands of meters away.
One time, Fang Zikai fought with someone and was beaten half to death in a sack. Fang Zicheng heard it at home and rode his bike to pick him up and send him to the hospital.
This time, Fang Taoran was kidnapped by human traffickers. In a hurry, she kept calling for someone to save her in her heart. Fang Zicheng searched for the voice and found Fang Taoran.
The human traffickers who took Fang Taoran away were taken away by the police. Fang Taoran was brought home and was beaten up for the first time.
The person who hit her was Fang Yusheng, who had always loved her the most.
The moment Fang Taoran returned home, she was ordered to kneel on the ground by Fang Yusheng and was beaten up. Fang Taoran naturally did not dare to. She begged her mother, but Qiao Jiusheng shook her head and actually agreed with Fang Yusheng hitting her.
Fang Taoran begged Lisa and Chi Baoguang again, but her grandparents refused to help her plead for leniency. She begged her two brothers again. This time, the two brothers who doted on her chose to stand by and watch.
Fang Taoran was lying on the ground, her buttocks facing them. She was still wearing the white dress she wore when she was kidnapped. Fang Yusheng took a bamboo branch as thick as a small finger and hit Fang Taoran’s buttocks more than ten times, using force every time.
At that time, Fang Taoran’s butt was hit by Fang Yusheng, and she cried her heart out. Lisa could not stand it anymore and was about to stop Fang Yusheng when Chi Baoguang and Qiao Jiusheng covered her mouth.
Fang Yusheng beat Fang Taoran up until she was crying. Seeing that her white dress was stained red by the flesh on her buttocks, Fang Yusheng threw away the bamboo root and staggered into the courtyard alone.

This was the first time Fang Zicheng saw Fang Yusheng cry.
He originally wanted to go forward to accompany Fang Yusheng, but for some reason, he chose to stand at the same spot and did not go forward.
Fang Taoran was beaten up by Fang Yusheng until she was hospitalized for three days. After she was discharged, she returned home and slept on her bed. The wound on her butt was covered in a layer of scars and she looked especially miserable.
Every time Qiao Jiusheng changed her dressing with Fang Taoran, she would secretly wipe her tears.
During that period of time, Fang Yusheng did not go to Fang Taoran’s room to see her. However, Fang Yusheng took out a large sum of money and joined forces with the rich people in Binjiang City to establish an alliance to fight human trafficking.
During that time, several human trafficking gangs in Binjiang City and the nearby provinces were wiped out.
After Fang Taoran recovered, she returned to school.
Fang Taoran and Fang Yusheng clearly lived under the same roof, but they never communicated again. Qiao Jiusheng could not stand it anymore and decided to do something. On this day, Qiao Jiusheng went to the kindergarten to pick Fang Taoran up from school.
Fang Taoran hugged Qiao Jiusheng and kissed her a few times. She called her mother clearly, melting Qiao Jiusheng’s heart.
“Mom will take you somewhere, okay?”
“Where to?”
Qiao Jiusheng said, “GZ City.”
That was overseas. They had to take a plane to GZ City.
Although she did not know why her mother was bringing her to GZ City, Fang Taoran still happily followed her mother to the airport. On the plane, Fang Taoran was excited for a while before falling asleep.
When the plane landed, Fang Taoran was woken up by the bumpy plane.
After following her mother off the plane, Fang Taoran fanned her face with her small hands and stuck out her tongue. “It’s so hot here.”
“Yeah.”
“Mom, why are we here?”
Qiao Jiusheng said, “I have something on. Are you hungry? Let’s go eat dinner first.”
“Okay.”
Fang Taoran thought that Qiao Jiusheng would bring her to eat good food, but Qiao Jiusheng only brought her to a very ordinary Chinese restaurant. The mother and daughter ordered four dishes. They tasted good and were not expensive.
Fang Taoran was not picky about food, but she also knew that there were many delicacies in GZ City. She remembered those delicacies and asked Qiao Jiusheng, “Mom, how many days are we going to stay in GZ City this time? When are we going back? Have you applied for leave from our teacher? I still want to have fun in GZ City. I want to go to the safari park. Mom, have you been to the safari park?”
Fang Taoran was a chatterbox and had endless things to say.
Qiao Jiusheng waited for her to finish asking in one breath before saying, “We’ll go back tomorrow morning. We’ll come again if there’s a chance in the future.”
“Huh? You’re rushing home tomorrow morning?”
Fang Taoran was extremely surprised. “Then why are we here?”
Qiao Jiusheng did not answer Fang Taoran’s question. She wiped her mouth and asked Fang Taoran calmly, “Are you full?”
Fang Taoran was good at reading people’s expressions and realized that Qiao Jiusheng was angry. Although Fang Taoran was puzzled, she still answered obediently, “I’m already full.”
She put down her chopsticks and stood up with the serious Qiao Jiusheng.
After Qiao Jiusheng paid the bill, the mother and daughter walked out of the restaurant together. Qiao Jiusheng rented a car at the car dealership and personally drove Fang Taoran around the city. Fang Taoran looked at the city view outside the window and pursed his lips.
The city was the same. There was nothing to see.
Suddenly, the car stopped.
Fang Taoran realized that there was a huge plaza here with people everywhere.
“Where is this, Mom?” Fang Taoran’s brown eyes widened in curiosity.
Qiao Jiusheng got out of the car, opened the door for her, and carried her out. Holding Fang Taoran’s hand, Qiao Jiusheng brought her to a crowded place. Fang Taoran followed Qiao Jiusheng’s footsteps with a confused expression.
There were many people nearby. Ever since she was almost kidnapped by human traffickers the last time, Fang Taoran did not dare to run around in a crowded place. She held Qiao Jiusheng’s hand tightly. With her mother by her side, Fang Taoran felt relieved.
Qiao Jiusheng suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Fang Taoran stood still. She realized that her mother was looking at something on the left, so she looked in that direction. Fang Taoran saw a child with half a leg lying on the ground on the left.
The child looked to be eleven or twelve years old at most.
