Chapter 103 Looking for Dad

Jun Heng's gaze passed through the crowd of pedestrians and saw a woman in the crowd, covering her mouth with her hands and crying.

The woman stared at the running little girl and tried several times to step forward and pull her back, but was finally grabbed by the arm by the man next to her.

"There's only so much rice at home. You can't keep her alive. It's better to sell her for some money so that Ada and Aer can eat more and grow stronger."

Jun Heng was quite far away from the couple, but even if he didn't listen, he knew what they were talking about.

His eyes flickered. Even though he knew that slaves were a necessary class in this society, his heart still wavered when he saw the parents selling their daughter for a living.

This is the country he governs.

"Chase after him!" Jun Heng said to the secret guard.

After receiving the order, the secret guards sent two of them to follow the four men in secret, while the rest continued to protect Jun Heng and moved forward together.

Not long after, Jun Heng saw the four men again in a dilapidated house.

Only this time, there wasn't just one little girl with the four of them.

The whole room was filled with children of all ages, ranging in age from three to teenagers.

There were both boys and girls among these children, and without exception, their hands were tied, their faces were covered in dust, and there was no hope in their eyes.

Especially the youngest child, who didn't understand anything and cried loudly.

Every time he cried, Ren Yazi slapped him, as if he wanted to beat him until he stopped crying.

Even someone as cold-hearted as Jun Heng couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

But this is how the country works. Without these human traffickers, wealthy families would not be able to buy suitable slaves.

People are divided into different classes according to their professions, such as scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. Some are the emperors, while others have to be slaves.

Just as Jun Heng was about to turn around and leave, the four men also saw Jun Heng standing at the door.

"Hey, uncle, which one are you going to buy?"

The slightly fat and older man in the lead noticed Jun Heng first. He signaled the other three men to keep an eye on the children, then walked towards Jun Heng with a smile on his face.

Jun Heng glanced at all the children in the room and said, "What you have is too inferior. I can't use it yet."

Just as he was about to leave after he finished speaking, the fat man's expression suddenly changed.

"Too bad? These kids are still young. It's too early for you to say it's too bad... Oh, the clothes you're wearing don't look that good. I don't think you can afford a servant. Are you here to cause trouble?"

Jun Heng didn't want to pay any attention to this person and walked forward without looking back.

But the fat man actually reached out and tried to hold Jun Heng's shoulder.

Before Jun Heng could make any move, the secret guard hiding in the dark jumped out. Two "swish" sounds were heard, two cold rays flashed, and the fat man's hand fell to the ground.

The fat man screamed, "You... who are you? We didn't steal or rob. All our business has been registered with the government. Even if you are a hero from somewhere, there is no need to take it out on us!"

The fat man fell to the ground with a grim look on his face. After losing his hand, his wrist was bleeding and his forehead was covered with sweat. The secret guards were very skilled. Although the other men were doing small businesses, they were not stupid. When they were in the underworld, they knew how to read people's expressions.

They immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at Jun Heng and the secret guards around him warily.

After killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, even if they were dissatisfied, they dared not go forward to embarrass Jun Heng. They could only walk out alone and hurried to call a doctor.

The fat man also had amazing perseverance. Even so, he still pinched Jun Heng's wrist and said, "My dear hero, I don't know how I offended you. Your hands are my bread and butter. I have a wife and daughter at home. What's the difference between what you are doing and cutting off their livelihood?"

Hearing the fat man's questioning, Jun Heng took out a purse from his sleeve without even turning his head and threw it back casually.

This is the gold he brought out from the palace.

After the fat man touched Jun Heng's purse, he first questioned him, and then he even smiled happily despite the pain in his hand.

The money in this entire purse is enough for their family to live a worry-free life for the rest of their lives.

After resolving the issues here, Jun Heng looked up to see what was happening over there with Ji Chenxing.

Was the lost little girl also sold to human traffickers by her parents, like the children here?
In front of the camera, Ji Chenxing, who had seen the ancient situation, was also thinking about this.

But this era is different from the previous one. Ji Chenxing is confident that Li Weimin will not do anything to hurt the little girl.

Of course, if someone dared to bully the little girl in public, she wouldn't mind letting that person try to see if her boxing skills had improved in the past few days.

The little girl's tears fell like pearls, and Li Weimin's tone softened immediately.

"Hey, don't cry." Li Weimin took out a candied haws and waved it in front of the little girl. "Eat a candied haws first. I'll lend you my cell phone. Can you call them?"

The little girl was stunned, probably because Li Weimin looked fierce, so she didn't dare to take the candied haws.

"It's okay, eat it." Ji Chenxing handed his string to the little girl, "This is new, I haven't eaten it before."

The little girl blinked at Ji Chenxing, took the candied haws given by Ji Chenxing, and shed fewer tears.

"Sister on the phone." There were some crystal sugar stains on her lips. "Mom and Dad said you are a good person. Thank you for the candied haws. Can you take Tiantian to find Dad?"

"Looking for dad?" Ji Chenxing took out his cell phone. "What's your name? Do you remember dad's cell phone number?"

One very convenient thing about this world is that everyone has a mobile phone, and communication is very convenient. It is not like in the past, when even if a horse died, a battle report from the front line might not be delivered to the emperor in time.

If it were in his previous era, this little girl might have been sold to an unknown place by human traffickers.

But having a mobile phone is much more convenient. You only need to dial a number to contact that person immediately. Even Jun Heng, as the emperor, has certainly never used such a magical thing.

Jun Heng, who was caught in the crossfire for no reason: ...

Just when Ji Chenxing thought the matter had been resolved, the little girl shook her head, "Sister Chenxing, my name is Tiantian, and I don't remember my father's cell phone number."

Jun Heng, who was watching the live broadcast in ancient times, smiled and shook his head, looking at Ji Chenxing as if to say, "Look, even if we change the place, the ending will be the same."

Unexpectedly, Ji Chenxing asked directly to the live broadcast, "Has anyone seen this sweet parent? If so, please remember to contact the program team. We will be waiting for him here."
