I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 529 - What’s Going On?!

Chapter 529 What’s Going On?!

“Don’t worry, everyone! I’m here to assure you that your children are absolutely fine!” Ye Lingchen proclaimed bluntly.

On that occasion, his words were more persuasive, causing everyone’s eyes to light up and filling them with hope.

The words of a public figure were inevitably more authoritative than the words of a random person on the street, thereby making everyone believe it unconsciously.

“God Ye, you... Do you have any inside information? I... I...” Everyone stared at Ye Lingchen in both excitement and anxiety. They were briefly unsure of what to say.

“Young man, are you telling the truth? Is my grandson really okay?” The old woman grabbed Ye Lingchen’s hand and asked with trembling hands.

“It’s true!” Ye Lingchen nodded, then said, “Don’t worry too much. Just wait until the police arrive.”

“As long as the child is safe, as long as he’s fine,” the old woman murmured.

“Okay, okay, we’ll wait!” The other people also nodded eagerly and rubbed their hands one after another. They then began pacing in circles to ease their tension.

The next moment—under Liu Sanshui’s horrified gaze—Ye Lingchen walked in front of him again with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth. “Tell me, do you have any other accomplices? And also, provide all the gangs that swindle and cheat, otherwise...you know what will happen.”

ten minutes later.

Wee-woo, wee-woo—

Along with the sound of police sirens, red and blue lights began flashing from the distance.

There were three police cars in total and they soon parked in front of everyone.

“The police are here!” The crowd was slightly agitated and everyone turned their heads away despite looking over. If they had not been comforted by Ye Lingchen earlier, they would definitely rush up and demand an explanation.

“Master!”

Xu Nan was the first to rush out of the police car and immediately came to Ye Lingchen’s side. She said quickly, “Master, I heard you found the missing children. Is that true?”

Silence!

Everyone was stunned, while a flurry of emotions poured into their hearts, making them lose the ability to think.

Then, the audience erupted in a frenzy!

“What? They’re already found?!”

“Huhuhu, is this for real? Don’t lie to me! My heart can’t bear it anymore!”

“God Ye, did you really find it? Huhuhu, I can’t, I, I...”

“Where are the children? Where’s my child?!”

...

The scene became chaotic and everyone rushed towards Ye Lingchen. Fortunately, they were stopped by the police who came with them, but it became extremely difficult to deal with the crowd.

Xu Nan also realized that she had messed up and stuck out her tongue at Ye Lingchen.

She had been far too excited, not only because she was happy to see Ye Lingchen, but also because she was overjoyed to find the lost children. That was the reason why she blurted it out without even thinking.

“Well, you should have someone go and arrest those scammers first. I’ve just interrogated their accomplices. Take their statements, and then let my car into the police station,” Ye Lingchen said to Xu Nan.

“Okay, Master.” Xu Nan immediately ordered.

Liu Sanshui and the group let out a noticeable sigh of relief when they were taken away. It felt as though they were escaping from the devil’s claws, as the stress Ye Lingchen placed on them was just too great.

The door of the police station opened, and Ye Lingchen asked those from the Warrior’s Department to drive the car in. He took Xu Nan along and the rest followed.

“Okay, let’s start.”

Ye Lingchen said faintly. “First, let’s total up the information of all missing children and register them one by one to prevent anyone from picking them up by mistake.”

The staff at the police station had already started making arrangements without needing him to tell them. As for the crowd, they were naturally very cooperative. Each one of them looked at Ye Lingchen from time to time and were filled with hope despite being hesitant to speak.

Once everything was ready, Ye Lingchen opened the door of the large vehicle, where all the lost children were placed inside.

“Ah! The children!”

“Our child! Our child must be in there!”

“Huhuhu, they’ve been found! They’ve really been found! Praise be to the Lord our God, praise be to Buddha for the blessings. Thanks be to God Ye.”

“That’s my child! The baby with a golden bell on the wrist. It must be my baby!”

“Comrades, the one with a red dot on the head is my child! It’s definitely my child!”

...

“That’s my grandson. Look at the photo, it’s my grandson!” The old woman was so excited that she burst into tears. Her hand trembled violently as she held the photo and she smiled with joy despite her tears.

“Thank you. Thank you very much.” The old woman did not know how to thank Ye Lingchen. In fact, she actually wanted to kneel for Ye Lingchen on the spot.

“I can’t accept that, old lady. I can’t accept that!” Ye Lingchen stopped her at once. “I can’t be solely credited with all this. I was just cooperating with the police.”

“You are the person who has helped me the most. If it weren’t for you, I really don’t know how I’ll face my son.” The old woman was terrified and even felt traumatized when she thought about it.

“It’s all good now. The child has been found. Go and reunite with him.” Ye Lingchen smiled.

There were more than 60 children in total, and more than 60 families went to claim them. Babies aged around two were easier to recognize and one could tell at a glance that they belonged to a certain family. Many other infants necessitated recognition unless they had special marks.

Everything proceeded in an orderly manner even though the scene was rather chaotic. Registration was mandatory according to protocol.

The joy of being reunited after disappearing filled the entire room, so it was only natural that they cooperated.

“Thank you, God Ye. If it weren’t for you, I have no clue how our family will continue living.” A couple held their child and bowed deeply toward Ye Lingchen.

The next couple also bowed to Ye Lingchen. “God Ye, you’re a real superstar idol. From now on, our entire family will be your fans!”

“I’m an old guy who’s lived my entire life without keeping up with superstars, but I’ll become your fan in the future!” an old man said, prompting everyone to burst into laughter.

“God Ye, can I take a photo with you?” someone suddenly proposed.

“I want it too, God Ye. I want to take a photo with you too.”

Ye Lingchen laughed and said proudly, “Okay! If you guys want a photo, we’ll take one together!”

“Master, I’ll help you to take the picture,” Xu Nan immediately volunteered and took out a camera.

A click was heard, and with the police station’s ‘Serving the People’ as the background, they took a big group photo.

Ye Lingchen was in the middle, surrounded by photos of various families hugging their children and laughing. It was a very happy scene, enabling anyone who looked at it to feel their happiness that came from the heart.

After all that excitement had passed, dawn began appearing on the horizon. The morning sun was very gentle and made one feel warm when it shone on one’s body. Ye Lingchen walked out of the police station, faced the sun and stretched his body, then slowly began making his way back.

There were so many things that happened the earlier night. Having gone through a prolonged tense state throughout the night, he had to rest and recuperate as well as possible after going home.

As he walked, he perused the system out of habit. One glance alone sent shockwaves throughout his entire body. ‘F*CK! What was going on with his popularity value?!’
