18: The search yielded dozens of bullets, as well as a knife and grenades.

"My son."

Lu Jing saw the child's mother and grandmother run over, handed the child to them, and then walked towards Xiao Niannian.

"Are you alright?"

Xiao Niannian spoke up.

"I'm fine."

Applause erupted all around.

"Good heavens, isn't this Female Comrade just too amazing?"

"To actually dare to disarm a gun with bare hands, could she be a Soldier?"

"Was I dreaming just now? She actually went to disarm a gun with her bare hands?"

"That's incredible."

The Public Security Comrade at the station also brought the human traffickers under control and looked at Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing with excitement.

"comrade, thank you so much."

"If it weren't for you, who knows how many of the Masses would have been hurt today. Please come with us to the Public Security Bureau; we must thank you properly this time."

Surrounded by so many people, Xiao Niannian quickly declined.

"comrade, you are too kind, but I need to catch my train. You can keep these people for interrogation."

Lu Jing also stepped forward to speak with the Public Security Comrades.

"We have other matters to attend to, so we will leave the handling of this matter to you..."

"comrade, which unit are you from? We will definitely write a letter of commendation to your unit..."

Two of the Public Security Comrades were extremely excited. It was a pity they didn't have a camera on hand; otherwise, they could have captured what just happened. This would have been an excellent example for publicity.

Furthermore, these two comrades had saved the child at the most dangerous and critical moment; otherwise, the casualties today would have been unimaginable.

"comrade, I am Jin Wei, the captain of the County Public Security Bureau. I am especially grateful to you comrades for stepping forward today to save this child and these Masses. Please leave your unit and phone number; here is my number..."

Dozens of bullets, as well as knives and grenades, had been found in that man's pocket just now.

Xiao Niannian heard the train whistle.

"No need, we have other things to do."

Suddenly, Xiao Niannian heard a loud wail.

The child in Fang Qiang's arms was the one who had been drugged unconscious by the man and woman earlier; he had just woken up.

He was now crying loudly.

Xiao Niannian passed by Fang Qiang, preparing to return to the carriage.

However, the child reached out his hands toward her and lunged forward.

Fang Qiang quickly tried to hold the child, but the child struggled, reaching out toward Xiao Niannian, wanting her to hold him.

"Give the child to the Public Security Comrade."

Xiao Niannian said to Fang Qiang.

But when the child saw the Public Security Comrade, he was completely unwilling and kept lunging toward Xiao Niannian.

Xiao Niannian frowned and had no choice but to take the child.

"Little one, you go find the Public Security uncle; big sister needs to catch the train. The Public Security uncle will help you find your home..."

"Waa, big sister, don't leave me..."

The child started wailing again, his hands clutching tightly around Xiao Niannian's neck.

Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing, wanting to pass the child to him.

"Go find the People's Liberation Army uncle."

But the child still held onto her tightly, completely unwilling to let Lu Jing hold him.

Lu Jing looked at Xiao Niannian and the child, then looked at Jin Wei.

He stepped forward to speak with Jin Wei.

"Captain Jin, how about we take the child with us for now? If you find the child's parents, bring them to the Military Unit to look for him... The train is about to depart, and we need to board..."

Lu Jing gave the unit address and phone number to Captain Jin.

Upon hearing Lu Jing's words, and having just checked Lu Jing's work ID, he immediately agreed. After all, if they took the child back to the Public Security Bureau, they would still need the comrades at the unit to help take care of him.

These comrades were Soldiers who had just saved so many people, and since the child was unwilling to let them take him away, Captain Jin agreed immediately upon hearing Lu Jing's words.

Xiao Niannian glared at Lu Jing.

"You..."

What right did he have to make decisions for her? With the child crying like this, her head was about to explode. She usually liked children, but only the cute, well-behaved ones who were easy to look after. Besides, her Nephews back home were all incredibly well-behaved and cute; they would stop crying as soon as she told them to.

"Stop crying."

The child in her arms instantly stopped crying and looked at Xiao Niannian with a pitiful expression.

Looking at this adorable tot with big, watery eyes, Xiao Niannian couldn't maintain her stern tone.

"Fine, we'll take the child with us for now, but you are responsible for taking care of him."

Xiao Niannian didn't want to be stuck holding this tot all the way to Guangzhou. Whoever agreed to it should be the one to take care of him.

Lu Jing glanced at the tot and agreed.

"Alright."

They boarded the train, and Old Chief Gu looked at Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian.

Old Chief Gu had already heard from his personal secretary about what had happened on the platform.

"Niannian, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, those children and the Masses would have been in danger just now..."

If the Thugs had actually opened fire, more than one or two people would have been injured. Moreover, they had hostages, and those people had grenades in their hands.

"Is this one of the children you saved?"

Old Chief Gu examined the child in Xiao Niannian's arms.

The child kept clinging to Xiao Niannian, glanced at Old Chief Gu and the others, then hugged Xiao Niannian's neck again.

"Child, what is your name?"

Old Chief Gu asked with a smile.

The child quietly poked his head out, looked at Old Chief Gu, and then looked at Xiao Niannian.

"Grandpa is talking to you; tell Grandpa what your name is."

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, he looked at Old Chief Gu with his big eyes and spoke.

"Hello, Grandpa."

This milky voice made Old Chief Gu like him even more.

"Hello."

"My name is Tuantuan."

"Hello, Tuantuan." Old Chief Gu reached out, wanting to hold him.

"Grandpa hold."

Tuantuan glanced at Xiao Niannian.

Xiao Niannian didn't expect this little one to look at her for permission.

"Grandpa is a Soldier, don't be afraid."

Hearing this, Tuantuan reached out his hands and lunged into Old Chief Gu's arms.

Xiao Niannian breathed a sigh of relief; she had finally passed him into someone else's arms. This was truly great.

But Xiao Niannian hadn't been happy for even a minute before the little one, Tuantuan, lunged back toward her.

"Tuantuan likes this big sister."

Old Chief Gu said with a chuckle.

Xiao Niannian looked at the tot in her arms, then looked at Lu Jing, signaling to him.

There was a hint of a smile in Lu Jing's eyes. He could tell that Xiao Niannian quite liked Tuantuan; she had patience, but not a lot. It was just like his aunt—she could play and coax for a while, but if she had to take care of him constantly, she would get a headache.

"Shall big brother hold you?"

Xiao Niannian asked Tuantuan.

Tuantuan looked at Lu Jing in front of him and spoke.

"It's Uncle."

Lu Jing looked at Tuantuan.

"Why is she big sister, and I am Uncle?"

"You are Uncle."

Old Chief Gu burst into laughter.

"Captain, you are Uncle, hahaha."

"Captain, Tuantuan says you are old."

Fang Qiang and He Yong also joined in the teasing.
