Because they encountered Yao Hongmei, the Qin sisters became utterly upset, and the only reason they didn't go home immediately was just to hold on out of spite.

Halfway through the climb, symbolically gathering a bunch of mugwort, Qin Ruoying lost interest in staying at the park, kicking stones on the ground irritably while organizing their return home.

The mugwort was gathered, the Five-Colored Rope was worn, and there was indeed no point in staying any longer. After Qin Ruoying suggested going home, the three of them started their descent.

Just as the three of them reached the foot of the mountain, a man wearing a baseball cap and a mask, holding a little girl in his arms, quickly approached them from behind and bumped into Qin Ruoying's shoulder as he passed.

This collision hit Qin Ruoying hard, and as the pain radiated from her shoulder, she staggered. If not for Chu Ge's timely grab, she would have fallen to the ground.

"Can't you watch where you're going! That hurt a lot!"

If it hadn't been for encountering Yao Hongmei, even being bumped into wouldn't have made Qin Ruoying so angry, considering there were so many people around, and anyone could have had an accident.

But she was already filled with anger with nowhere to vent, and getting severely bumped while walking infuriated her even more, like she could choke on cold water.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My child fainted, I'm rushing her to the hospital."

The masked man apologized repeatedly. Qin Ruojing turned around to see that the man was indeed holding a child, with his hands wrapped around the child's legs and back, letting the child's head rest on his shoulder.

At first glance, the child's clothes looked somewhat familiar, but Qin Ruoying didn't think much of it and moved aside, somewhat embarrassed.

"Sorry, brother, I didn't know you were carrying a child. You should hurry, don't delay the child's care."

The masked man replied with an "hey" and hurried away with the child in his arms.

"Wait a moment."

However, after just two steps, Chu Ge's voice came from behind.

Li Guangcheng froze in his tracks, startled, his eyelids twitching. He wanted to pretend not to hear and leave quickly, but after thinking that he hadn't exposed anything, he turned around with a look of urgency and confusion.

Chu Ge looked directly into Li Guangcheng's eyes and asked, "Brother, is that your child?"

Hearing Chu Ge's question, Li Guangcheng's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously swallowed, quickly trying to figure out how to respond.

At the same time, the Qin sisters' gaze focused together. When Li Guangcheng turned around, they saw the child's face in his arms and realized something was wrong after Chu Ge had noticed.

The child was actually the little girl called Jingjing, whom Yao Hongmei had with her earlier.

Realizing the shift in the Qin sisters' gaze, Li Guangcheng quickly understood that they seemed to recognize the child, and he silently cursed, barely holding back the words at the tip of his tongue, quickly recalculating the situation, then changed what he was about to say: "I'm this child's uncle, why?"

Chu Ge asked again, "Did you bring the child by yourself?"

This question made Li Guangcheng's heart race even more, but he kept a facade of impatience and bewilderment, frowning as he said, "And her grandmother too. You're really overstepping."

With that, Li Guangcheng turned to leave.

Admittedly, after more than ten years in prison, Li Guangcheng's mental fortitude had been thoroughly trained; his expression was impeccably fitting, resembling an anxious parent sending a child to the hospital.

Hearing what Li Guangcheng said, the suspicion in the Qin sisters' eyes faded, and their expressions turned indifferent again.

Qin Ruoying tugged at Chu Ge and said, "Enough brother-in-law, let's go too; otherwise, if this child's grandma sees us, she might blame us for the child's fainting. It's not like it's the first time for her anyway."

Though Qin Ruojing said nothing, her actions clearly showed her stance as she turned around and started walking.

However, to the Qin sisters' surprise, Chu Ge acted as if he hadn't heard Qin Ruoying, suddenly reaching out to place a hand on Li Guangcheng's shoulder and asked again, "Where's the child's grandmother?"

Despite Chu Ge's calm voice, his relentless questioning resonated like thunder in Li Guangcheng's ears, making him increasingly flustered. But since he believed he hadn't exposed any shortcomings, he pretended to ignore Chu Ge, wanting to leave hurriedly.

Unexpectedly, he found, much to his shock, that the hand on his shoulder felt like a vice grip. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake it off or move forward a single step!

Utterly helpless, Li Guangcheng spun around furiously, angrily yelling, "Let go! Let go of me! Can you afford the responsibility if the child's treatment is delayed? I warn you, this child's grandfather is the deputy director of the police department! If something happens to the child, you're in big trouble!"

Chu Ge remained motionless, calmly continuing to ask, "Where's the child's grandmother?"

Li Guangcheng was about to explode with anger. He couldn't for the life of him understand what this incessant guy wanted from him?

But judging from the current situation, if he can't provide an answer that satisfies this lunatic, he really won't be able to leave.

"Her grandmother took a taxi! Are you done or not? Can you let go of my hand?"

Li Guangcheng said furiously, this time he didn't have to pretend, he was genuinely anxious.

Qin Ruojing frowned, looking at Chu Ge with great confusion, while Qin Ruoying was a little angry with Chu Ge for the first time, muttering, "Brother-in-law, let him go quickly, otherwise their family will really latch onto us!"

Finally, Chu Ge let go of his right hand from Li Guangcheng's shoulder. Just when Li Guangcheng breathed a sigh of relief and the Qin sisters thought this matter could be put to rest, he said something that left them stunned.

"There are too many people out for a spring outing today, it's definitely hard to get a taxi. I'll drive the child to the hospital."

Qin Ruojing's slender eyebrows furrowed more tightly, Qin Ruoying was so angry she didn't even want to speak anymore.

As for Li Guangcheng, he was gritting his teeth in hatred, cursing his bad luck. The plan was going so smoothly, how come at the last minute this meddling Good Samaritan appeared?

But since Chu Ge said so, he seemed to have no reason to refuse and could only suppress his uneasiness and anger, forcing a grateful fake smile, nodding his head.

"Then... thank you."

"Hey, brother, you're being too polite. Anyone who encounters this would help out. Must be tired holding the child for so long, right? Come on, let me hold her for a while."

Li Guangcheng was indeed quite tired from carrying Jingjing for so long. Seeing Chu Ge's enthusiasm, he nodded and handed Jingjing to Chu Ge, while pondering how to wrap things up.

However, just as Li Guangcheng handed Jingjing over to Chu Ge, a sudden change occurred!

In an instant, Chu Ge's enthusiasm vanished completely, and without any warning, he lifted his leg and kicked Li Guangcheng hard in the stomach!

Li Guangcheng, who was just thinking about how to explain not finding the child's grandmother, had no defense against Chu Ge's kick. He only felt a sharp pain in his stomach, then his stomach started churning, and after a few dry heaves, he squatted down weakly clutching his stomach.

Li Guangcheng couldn't understand how this kick could have so much force?

Even the toughest guy in prison couldn't deliver such a powerful kick, probably the feeling is the same as being hit by a high-speed truck!

"Ah!"

Chu Ge's sudden kick immediately startled the surrounding tourists, making several girls scream and rush to one side.

The Qin sisters were equally stunned by Chu Ge's sudden action, leaving them all dazed.

Even though Li Guangcheng was in spasms of pain, his mind was still clear. He knew that since the other party had attacked him, he must have inadvertently revealed a flaw, though he couldn't understand how Chu Ge saw through it.

But given the situation, he didn't have time to think. He only knew that if he didn't run quickly, he would find himself back in that dark prison, and maybe never get out again.

With a longing for freedom, Li Guangcheng didn't know where he found the strength, crawling a few steps frantically, but before he could stand up, Chu Ge's right foot stepped on his back, pressing him down again.

"Brother-in-law! Stop hitting him, please stop!"

When Chu Ge stepped on Li Guangcheng, Qin Ruoying finally reacted, screaming and rushing to Chu Ge's side, her emotions indescribably complex, five parts moved, four parts worried, and one part resentful.

In Qin Ruoying's mind, Chu Ge must have heard about her father's situation, was angered by Yao Hongmei's shamelessness, and wanted to vent for her father.

But as the saying goes, "The wrong has an instigator, the debt has a debtor," it was Yao Hongmei and her husband who were despicable and shameless. This person had nothing to do with it, and besides, even if this person wasn't a good guy, with his family's connections, Chu Ge hitting him would surely lead to big trouble.

Qin Ruojing quickly approached too. Although she shared her sister's thoughts, this time she didn't speak up.

After all, Chu Ge had surprised her several times before, and she subconsciously felt that Chu Ge must have reasons unknown to her and her sister.

"Xiaoying, I know what I'm doing."

"Xiaojing, take the child."

After saying something separately to the Qin sisters, and handing Jingjing to the frowning and silent Qin Ruojing, Chu Ge squatted beside Li Guangcheng and repeated his earlier question once more.

"Now, can you tell me where the child's grandmother is?"
