Chapter 234 They're All Here

It wasn't until this moment, when he saw Qiao Qiao crying so hard in Qiao Changdong's arms that she was almost breathless, that he realized he was still far inferior to Qiao Changdong.

Even when they found her, she didn't cry, and she didn't even show the slightest bit of grievance.

Shen Qingyan also felt some pain in her chest.

But I don't feel as helpless as before.

Because he knew his little girl was soft-hearted, and he had a lifetime to slowly win her heart.

"Okay, stop crying, sweetie, stop crying." After barely calming himself down, Qiao Changdong lowered his head and lifted the little face that had been covered in his arms.

While wiping away her tears, he gently coaxed her, "Sweetie, don't cry, or you won't be pretty anymore."

"Are you injured?" he asked, and then began to examine her exposed skin.

In front of Qiao Changdong, Qiao Qiao reverted to being that clingy, spoiled little girl, unwilling to look up, and instead kept burying her head in his arms.

"I'm not hurt, I just miss my dad," she whimpered softly.

"Daddy misses you too, sweetie, let's go back now."

He kissed the little one's red, tear-stained face again, and then tucked her back into his arms.

Then he took off his coat and wrapped it completely in his arms, not letting her little head peek out, before standing up.

He looked at the two policemen behind him and said, "Thank you for your help, officers. I'll take their car when I get back."

He still had many things he wanted to discuss with Shen Qingyan.

The two policemen had no objections, and the group set off back to Baoyi City.

Based on the current driving speed, we probably won't arrive at the hotel until the early hours of the morning.

Qiao Qiao had been asleep the whole way from the Tan family's house, and now she wasn't sleepy at all. Plus, she had reunited with Qiao Changdong, so she couldn't stop talking and chattering all the way.

She recounted everything that happened after she was kidnapped.

When she talked about how she used Xiaoyuan to beat those two bad guys and Lin Chunxia, ​​her little expression was exceptionally proud, which melted the hearts of the two dads in the back seat.

"But Dad, I almost forgot about you." Qiao Qiao couldn't help but feel aggrieved as she said this.

Then she saw Qiao Changdong and Shen Qingyan both frowning and looking at her.

"..." Qiao Qiao.

Okay.

He shrugged his little shoulders.

The tiny bubbles above my head arrived as expected.

But the little figure inside the bubble didn't move at first. Instead, it sat on the ground, staring at Qiao Changdong and Shen Qingyan outside.

Qiao Changdong stared at it for a few seconds.

This indicates that he is familiar with this.

He reached out and gently patted the little man's head twice with the pad of his index finger, just like patting his head. Only then did the little man start to move his arms and legs.

But once they get moving...

The humble person is in a dilemma again.

After scratching his head for a while, he seemed to remember something, clapped his hands, and conjured a wooden puppet labeled 'World Laws'. Then, with a small knife, he sliced ​​open his own... skull in front of the two men.

"!!!" Qiao Changdong, Shen Qingyan.

Their faces changed drastically in shock.

Before she could even speak, she saw the puppet of the world's laws rummaging through her shaved brain, finally pulling out a lump of brain marked with memories...

They covered the head with another layer of white gauze, then carried it away.

"???" Qiao Changdong, Shen Qingyan.

What's the meaning?

Does this mean someone stole her memories?

Was it packed in white gauze and taken away?

But based on their observation of the little girl, she didn't seem to have lost her memory at all.

The two men were scratching their heads, unable to understand it at all.

When the little figures inside the bubble finished their performance and looked at them, Qiao Changdong's eyes darted around, and he asked Shen Qingyan beside him, "Commander Shen is so capable, with so many military achievements, you must have understood this, right?"

“…” Shen Qingyan.

Qiao Qiao blinked and looked over, her face full of hope.

She didn't even tell the Qiao family about the laws of the world; it was simply too difficult to explain.

And how should I put it?

Their world is actually a world of one book.

She always felt that this matter was inherently challenging to people's understanding.

So she didn't tell the Qiao family.

In any case, regardless of whether this is a world in a book or not, she will stay here with her father for the rest of her life.

When this life ends and she leaves this world, she will take her father's soul with her. But whether we talk about it or not, it doesn't seem to matter much.

Shen Qingyan covered his mouth with his hand and coughed weakly.

Then, under the intense gazes of Qiao Changdong, Qiao Qiao, the little bubble person, and the tender little leaf on their head... they shook their heads.

"Sorry, I don't really understand." He was an honest man.

The little figure inside the bubble looked disgusted, holding up a sign that read "Wasteful Snack Confirmed," strolled around the bubble for a bit, and finally left like a movie curtain call.

“…” Shen Qingyan.

Okay, he's back to being a useless snack.

It seems that the laws of the world cannot be explained in one go, so Qiao Qiao stopped racking her brains to explain.

She sat obediently in Qiao Changdong's lap, taking small bites of the egg that Dou Yufeng had cooked for her before she got on the bus.

Midway through the journey, around 7 p.m., they stopped at a small roadside restaurant, called over two policemen from the car in front of them, had lunch together, rested for about an hour, and then continued on their way.

We finally arrived at the Dongqiao Hotel around 1 a.m.

When the car stopped in front of the hotel, there were many people standing there, more than twenty people inside and outside, almost filling the hotel steps.

Aside from some hotel staff, the Tang family father and daughter, and the Jiang family siblings.

The others are all Qiao Qiao's beloved family members.

The Qiao family, Yan Liti, and Meng Zhengcheng, Fang Zhengnan, Qiao Jing, Xiang Dongyan, Pei Yiyang and others who rushed over from Hongfeng Town overnight after receiving the news yesterday.

They all stood anxiously at the door, watching the car drive in.

After the car stopped.

Yan Liti was the first to rush out, tears streaming down her face like beads from a broken string.

She practically threw herself at Qiao Changdong.

Qiao Qiao was first awakened by the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car.

She rubbed her eyes, and when she caught a glimpse of the brightly lit hotel, she thought, "Finally!" Just as she was about to yawn and stretch, Yan Liti pounced on her.

Hearing Yan Liti's wailing, she instinctively reached out from under Qiao Changdong's coat to pat Yan Liti's back to comfort her, but was startled by the crowd standing at the hotel entrance.

She stared blankly at these familiar yet unfamiliar faces.

These faces were originally blurry in her memory.

But the moment it came into view, everything became clear again!

Qiao Qiao looked at the person.

Her little mouth pursed up.

It's flat and flat.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

She burst into tears again.
