At the Ye Group, Deng Jiajia handed the last document of the day to Ye Ziyao and smiled.
"Um."
Ye Ziyao nodded, looked up at her and asked, "How are you and Ahu going?"
Deng Jiajia was stunned for a moment and became embarrassed and shy: "Mr. Ye, we are still in love."
"Okay, you can get married if you should, Ahu is a nice person." Ye Ziyao said with a smile.
"Uh-huh."
Deng Jiajia was shy, but she and Ahu were indeed developing rapidly, so she nodded and went out.
"That bastard, he even said he was chasing me. What's the difference between chasing me and not chasing me?"
Thinking of Jiang Minghao, Ye Ziyao became a little angry. Except for the last time he took the initiative to come to see her for dinner at noon, he had not done anything during this period.
Knowing that he was busy, Ye Ziyao didn't take it seriously. When she was free, she would take the initiative to ask him out.
But then the phone rang, and when she saw it was Jiang Minghao, Ye Ziyao felt happy. She picked it up and pressed the answer button, pretending to be fierce: "What are you doing? I'm still busy."
"It's already seven o'clock. Hurry up and get off work. I'll be downstairs."
At this time, Jiang Minghao was standing at the door, naturally driving his Bentley convertible sports car, and he also changed his clothes specially.
Ye Ziyao walked to the balcony and saw Jiang Minghao's figure at the door downstairs, and smiled: "You want to invite me to dinner."
"Yes, if you don't go, I will go and make an appointment with someone else." Jiang Minghao joked.
"You dare, I'll go down and deal with you now."
Ye Ziyao snorted, and Jiang Minghao smiled and hung up the call.
After a while, she saw Ye Ziyao striding out in high heels. She glanced at Jiang Minghao and immediately saw that the back seat of the convertible was filled with roses, which made her slightly stunned.
"How is it? Do you like it?" Jiang Minghao was slightly proud.
"Who taught you this?"
Ye Ziyao glanced at him and smiled: "I guess it's Ma Xiaodong who gives you this kind of trick to pick up girls."
"Ahem, I just said this method won't work."
Jiang Minghao coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and secretly scolded Ma Xiaodong for his bad tricks. He then smiled at Ye Ziyao and said, "If you don't like it, I'll throw it away."
"Who said I don't like it?"
However, Ye Ziyao gave him a shy look, then opened the car door and got in. Jiang Minghao immediately jumped in and drove the car, saying: "Let's eat first, and then go to the movies..."
Obviously, Jiang Minghao has made all the arrangements. Ye Ziyao doesn't care on the surface, but she is happy and sweet in her heart...
Next, the two of them, like most couples, ate, went shopping, and then watched a movie or something, but someone else took them to a hotel and booked a room.
But Jiang Minghao wanted to come out after watching the movie and took Ye Ziyao out for a ride.
If he had just driven to the hotel, he would probably have been beaten to death by Ye Ziyao.
"It's been a long time since I've been to the Huanglong River."
Ye Ziyao faced the autumn evening breeze and looked at the boats coming and going on the Huanglong River. On the bank was the Couple's Road, with dim street lights. Most of the people who came here to visit were young lovers or couples.
"Brother, buy a flower for your sister."
At this time, a little girl dressed simply and holding flowers ran over.
Jiang Minghao was stunned, looked at the cute little girl, and said with a smile: "How much does one flower cost?"
"Twenty yuan." The little girl said in a clear voice.
"Then count how many flowers you have in your hand. I bought them all."
Jiang Minghao squatted down and smiled. Ye Ziyao next to him glanced at him and knew what he wanted to do.
But then he saw a bruise on the little girl's arm. He immediately knelt down to take a look and said, "Little sister, where did the injury on your arm come from?"
"I, my father beat me..."
The little girl looked panicked and quickly gave the flowers in her hand to Jiang Minghao: "Brother, I have fifteen flowers."
Jiang Minghao raised his eyebrows. In addition to her arms, this little girl also had injuries on her calves, and her complexion was also very poor. She seemed a little malnourished and seemed to have been abused frequently.
"Three hundred dollars."
Jiang Minghao gave her three hundred yuan in cash, and the little girl took it and ran away.
"Maybe the adults are treating her badly."
Ye Ziyao stood up and said, Jiang Minghao also nodded and continued to stroll with the woman while holding the flowers.
"Brother, buy a flower for your sister."
But at this time, another little boy of six or seven years old came running, also holding flowers in his hand.
This made Jiang Minghao and Ye Ziyao stunned. They saw that the little boy was just like the little girl just now, with some bruises on his face, arms and calves.
"Kids, do you have many people selling flowers here?" Jiang Minghao bent down and asked the little boy.
But the little boy didn't say anything, Ye Ziyao said: "If you tell me, I will buy all your flowers."
Now the little boy's heart was moved, he nodded and said: "There are three of us."
"It was your parents who asked you to sell flowers?" Ye Ziyao asked.
The little boy lowered his head and said nothing. Jiang Minghao and Ye Ziyao looked at each other and sold all the flowers in the little boy's hand.
But then, a third child came, and Jiang Minghao also sold the flowers of these children.
Just behind Lover's Road, in a community awaiting development, there were only two young men and a woman in a very inconspicuous small house.
At the same time, there were several children who were making fake roses, which were the flowers Jiang Minghao, Ye Ziyao and the others had just bought from those children.
When they saw the little girl and boy coming back, the woman was sitting on a chair, eating melon seeds and watching TV. She looked at them and was surprised: "It was sold out so quickly tonight?"
"Yeah, there is a big brother who bought all our flowers." The little girl nodded and said.
"Hey, that's okay. It seems that you have met a rich man. Please take out the money."
A young man with dyed yellow hair asked all three children to take out their money. Another young man shouted: "Go and sell again. If you don't sell enough tonight, you won't be allowed to eat."
"Why are you still standing? Go quickly."
Huang Mao kicked the little boy in the butt, and then the three children quickly ran out with the flowers in their arms...
The two young men and the woman continued to let the other five children stay in the house to continue making the artificial flowers.
But now each of the children had scars from being beaten. Even under the table, each of their feet had iron chains. It was obvious that these children were forced.
"Go out and watch them. After we sell out tonight, we will move to a neighboring city." The woman, who was obviously the leader, said to the two young men.
"Know."
Huang Mao then went out and stayed on the couple's road, watching the three children buying flowers and squinting at the beautiful couples coming and going.
"It's the three little kids again."
Ye Ziyao saw the little girl and boy carrying flowers out to sell. Jiang Minghao squinted and nodded: "Someone should be controlling these children."
"You mean..."
Ye Ziyao was shocked and said, "Someone forced them to sell flowers."
"Well, looking at the varying degrees of injuries on these children, they have been controlled and abused for a long time."
Jiang Minghao had already put the flowers in the car and watched the three children selling fake roses in the distance, but who was buying them like him?
"So, these children may have been abducted?" Ye Ziyao was surprised and immediately took out her mobile phone. Jiang Minghao asked: "What are you doing?"
"Call the police."
Ye Ziyao said that she had called Yang Tiexin, but no one answered. Jiang Minghao smiled and said: "Officer Yang is in the criminal police team and is responsible for those big cases of dead people. For those who may kidnap children, you should just call 110."
