Mingting headed all the way south. With his 4-year-old body, he single-handedly took down nine groups of human traffickers, and the title ‘Mushroom Girl’ officially appeared in the news.

The news reported that when Mushroom Girl encountered human traffickers, she did nothing but serve them a delicious pot of mushroom soup. Just imagine how terrified the traffickers must have been!

And that song ‘Red Umbrellas, White Stems’ also spread as the cases were uncovered, becoming a widely popular tune.

Everywhere, whether it’s streets, alleys, and shopping malls, all played ‘Red umbrellas, white stem, eat together and lie on the board...’ on loop, making it the hottest song of the year.

Now, what are parents most afraid of? Kidnappers.

And what are the traffickers afraid of? The Mushroom Girl.

Some creative and imaginative artists drew depictions of Mushroom Girl, and even a canned mushroom company rushed to register the ‘Mushroom Girl’ brand.

When the police raided these trafficking groups, they rescued a total of 83 children.

At present, law enforcement still didn’t yet have DNA technology to identify missing children, so many parents who had lost their kids saw the news and rushed over overnight, hoping to find their sons or daughters among the rescued children.

Miao Wei, who was far away in City A, also saw the news. He dropped everything and came immediately.

When he and his wife saw the noticeably thinner Miao Rui, tears streamed down their faces.

"Ruirui!"

"Mom! Dad!"

Miao Rui had cried so much during this time that her voice was hoarse, and her hoarse voice broke her parents' hearts.

The couple held Miao Rui and cried for a long time. Miao Wei, who is usually a composed businessman, thanked the police profusely, crying so hard he lost all sense of dignity.

"Dad, someone bullied me!" Once Miao Rui caught her breath, she immediately tattled to her father.

"Who?" Miao Wei had just found his daughter and was overflowing with protectiveness. Hearing that someone had bullied her, he immediately grew furious.

"It was this one, this one..." Miao Rui described Mingting, "He had chicken legs but wouldn’t share them with me, and he even laughed at me on purpose..."

Miao Wei had assumed it was one of the traffickers who had done something to his daughter, only to find out it was just a childish squabble over chicken legs.

"When we get home, I’ll have Auntie Fang prepare a whole pot of chicken legs for you… crispy, sweet-and-sour, braised, whatever you want. How about that?"

"No! I want you to find him and teach him a lesson!" Miao Rui threw a tantrum, refusing to back down.

Miao Wei was well aware of his daughter’s stubbornness. When the police mentioned that the other child was still missing and hadn’t been found, he apologized profusely, explaining that the grandparents had spoiled her rotten.

In the end, Miao Rui cried herself to exhaustion and fell asleep on Miao Wei’s shoulder, finally letting the matter drop.

The news that the Miao family’s daughter had been found quickly spread throughout City A. While the Miao Family was overjoyed and planning a celebration banquet, the Lu Family was shrouded in gloom.

With their grandson missing, Grandpa Lu and his wife fell seriously ill.

The child had gone missing because Grandma Lu had been too absorbed in her mahjong game, completely forgetting about him. By the time she won several rounds, the boy was already gone.

Because of this, the old lady fell ill directly. She felt very guilty and was a little dazed.

Although the Lu Family mobilized all their connections to search for Lu Mingting, there was still no trace of him.

Seeing his parents bedridden, Lu Song brought a 4-year-old child home and said he wanted to adopt this child. Grandpa Lu was so furious he hurled a cup at his son’s head.

"Your own son is missing, and instead of searching for him, you’ve already found a replacement?"

Grandpa Lu’s chest heaved violently.

"You are going to piss me off to death!"

"Dad, I’ve searched everywhere, but I still can't find him!"

Lu Song was equally aggrieved.

His own mother had lost his son, so what could he even say? Before he could even voice his frustration, the old lady was already drowning in guilt, nearly suicidal.

What if he said something harsh and the old lady jumped off a building?

Wouldn’t people accuse him of driving his own mother to her death?

"Dad, I’m doing this for Mom’s sake. Look at her… she’s been in a daze all day, and a few days ago, she almost overdosed on sleeping pills. If this goes on, something terrible will happen."

"Actually, this was the doctor’s suggestion… Bringing a child here to divert Mom's attention."

Remembering how his wife had been clutching their grandson’s toys and weeping, almost losing her mind, Grandpa Lu had no choice.

His old wife had accompanied him through the most difficult and poor times. Her only hobby was mahjong.

Grandpa Lu was furious that her negligence had cost them their grandson, but he couldn’t just watch her waste away.

"Since the doctor said so, then let's try it first." Grandpa Lu lay back in bed with a sigh, "But no matter what, we need keep looking for Mingting! We have to find him!"

The rescued children were gradually picked up by their parents.

Those who found their kids wept with joy, many kneeling to thank the police. Some even regarded Mushroom Girl as their savior.

Parents who didn’t find their children still held onto hope, praying that Mushroom Girl would expose more trafficking rings, so that maybe their own children could be saved next.

As for the remaining children, whose parents hadn’t come forward, the police took their photos and spread the word through every possible channel, notifying parents still searching for their lost ones.

Team Leader Qian had been losing clumps of hair recently.

‘This Mushroom Girl is truly audacious… how on earth did she always manage to pinpoint human traffickers so accurately?’

As more and more parents took their children home, they kept spreading the word that Mushroom Girl was a hero, and her reputation grew bigger and bigger.

Though Mushroom Girl’s actions had a certain ‘righting wrongs on behalf of heaven’ vibe, and many ordinary people supported her, even giving her a fanbase, this was still a country ruled by law. If everyone relied on Mushroom Girl, what would be the point of the police?

The higher-ups made it clear: the traffickers must be caught, and the Mushroom Girl must be found.

Team Leader Qian had been tracking Mushroom Girl this whole time.

But she was completely unpredictable… one week, she’s in a county, the next week, she’s already in a rural town, and then, she would suddenly pop up somewhere else entirely.

She was like a little jumping frog, hopping east and west at random, driving him bald with frustration.

By now, Team Leader Qian had grown used to reports every few days of people eating poisonous mushrooms and ending up in the hospital for stomach pumping.

But this time, when there was no movement after half a month, Team Leader Qian was very surprised.

He even wondered, ‘Had Mushroom Girl run out of poisonous mushrooms?’

He couldn’t figure out what grand scheme she might be brewing in this sudden silence…
