The villain appears in Chapter 124.

But what surprised the four even more was that when they temporarily took the robber and the robbed person back to the hotel entrance to wait for the police to arrive.
They discovered that the person who was robbed was actually a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, a girl, but with short, messy hair that looked like it had been chewed by a dog.
At first glance, he looks like a little boy.
Qiao Changdong asked him where he lived and why he was still out so late.
Then I heard the little girl speak.
He might have been kicked hard, because his speech was a little slurred.
"I...I live in Lanshan. I...I came out to sell some things." As she said this, the girl was still tightly clutching the small bag in her arms.
Under the bright lights at the hotel entrance, Qiao Qiao could clearly see that it was a leather bag with its outer layer turned inside out.
Everyone saw her clutching her bag so tightly.
He didn't utter a sound even after being kicked like that, and he refused to let go.
I think there must be a lot of money in this bag.
As a result, when the police came to check, they found that there was only two dollars and thirty-five cents in the bag.
There were very few small bills; almost all of them were denominations.
That's why she stuffed the old leather bag so full, and because she wouldn't let go, the robber thought there was a lot of money inside.
"You're so young, why are you still out there? What are you selling?" the policeman asked, feeling sorry for the little girl who looked so disheveled, and lowered his voice to be gentle.
"I...I sell scrap metal..." The girl glanced at the crowd, then looked at Qiao Qiao, who was being held by Qiao Changdong, before quickly lowering her head again.
She bit her lip tightly and asked timidly, "Can I...can I go home? My brother, my grandfather...are still waiting for me at home. They'll worry if I go back late."
Qiao Qiao noticed her fingers hidden behind the tattered bag, tightly clutching her stomach.
Remembering how she had been kicked for a long time in the alley, she asked her with some concern, "Sister, is your stomach hurt?"
The robber's kick seemed quite forceful, and given her young age, she might have suffered some internal injuries.
"I...I'm fine, can I go home first?" The little girl repeated the same question, eager to get home.
“Of course, we can take you home first,” the police officer said. “However, do you need to go to the hospital for a check-up?”
"No, no, I'm fine, really fine," the little girl kept shaking her head.
It was already 11 p.m., and Qiao Qiao glanced at the other person's worn-out cotton clothes and the fact that he was walking slowly and seemed to be in pain, but she still couldn't bear it.
Qiao Changdong followed along as well.
The little girl's accommodation was quite close to the hotel, in a large shed just 500 meters away.
The shed was made without a single brick or tile; it was entirely constructed of wood and tarpaulin, standing upright in the cold wind as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Qiao Qiao knew that many people were poor, but this was the first time she had ever seen someone this poor.
When the group reached the front of the greenhouse, they discovered a hunched figure standing at the entrance—an elderly man.
The old man stood at the door and was startled when he saw a group of people walking towards him with flashlights. When he saw the little girl walking unsteadily at the front, he went to greet them.
"Shengnan, Shengnan, what's wrong with you now..." The old man stopped mid-sentence.
Their gazes fell on Qiao Qiao, and they asked in surprise, "Little girl, what brings you here?"
Then he saw the two policemen standing next to Qiao Changdong and Qiao Qiao, and he was startled.
"Officers, what's wrong? Did the child do something wrong? I...we..."
"No, no, don't worry, old man. It was a young girl who was robbed. We checked her over just in case, and then brought her back." One of the policemen quickly explained when he saw that the man's face was pale with worry and he could barely speak.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
He then carefully examined Jiang Shengnan from head to toe, asking her if she was injured anywhere. After the little girl shook her head, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He suddenly remembered something.
Pointing at Qiao Qiao, he said with a smile, "Sheng Nan, this is the little girl that Grandpa told you about this morning, the one who gave Grandpa a handful of candy."
Qiao Qiao looked at the old man with some surprise.
Unexpectedly, this old man was the same old man who sold her sweet potatoes that morning.
"Sister?" A weak voice came from inside the greenhouse at this moment.
Everyone looked over.
Then I saw a little boy, about seven or eight years old, walking over.
The little boy had his back slightly hunched, and even in the dim light of a kerosene lamp, it was clear that he was carrying what looked like a large bag on his back.
The kind that bulges out from under clothes.
Upon seeing him, the old man immediately greeted him, saying, "Xiaomin, come here and thank this little sister. Today, not only did we give you and your brother candy, but we also just saved your sister's life."
"Thank you, little sister..." the little boy's voice was still weak.
[Master, this little boy's name is Jiang Min. He will be ten years old in three years. During the examination for the surgery to remove the tumor on his back, Shen Qingrong discovered that his kidneys were a match for Shen Li's. During the surgery, Shen Qingrong tampered with the procedure, using the excuse of an accident to kill him on the operating table.]
At the same time, Qiao Qiao heard Xiao Yuan speak in her mind.
[Master, before transplanting your kidney, Shen Li first transplanted Jiang Min's. About two years later, she developed a chronic rejection reaction, which is why she decided to use you instead.]
[Jiang Min's older sister, the little girl named Jiang Shengnan, has always suspected the surgery, because the surgery to remove the tumor was indeed a minor procedure, and she shouldn't have died from excessive blood loss.]
[Later, Jiang Shengnan grew up to become a top surgeon and found evidence that her brother's surgery had been tampered with.]
[To avenge her brother, she has been constantly opposing the Shen family. In a sense, she is the chosen one of this small world, but ultimately, she is a villain.]
"..." Qiao Qiao.
Villain?
who?
Who exactly is the villain?
Qiao Qiao didn't understand.
The Shen family is so wicked, shouldn't they be the biggest villains in this world?!
Is the world's law system completely idiotic? Why are such wicked people allowed to be the main characters in this world?
This is the first time so many people have come to our house.
Grandpa Jiang was a little at a loss. He felt embarrassed to invite them in for a chat, but he dared not send them away.
Finally, a policeman took the initiative to ask why Jiang Shengnan, who was so young, was still out selling scrap metal so late at night.
Grandpa Jiang then explained helplessly.
Jiang Shengnan and Jiang Min's parents passed away one after the other a few years ago.
From then on, she lived with him and depended on him for survival.
Life was tough, but it was manageable until this summer when a tumor suddenly appeared on Jiang Min's body.
It keeps growing bigger and bigger.
