After a while, Lin Cheng felt that Lin Momo’s mood seemed to have calmed down, and he wanted to put her down.

After all, he was not the real father of this child, so it was not appropriate to hold her all the time.

Just when Lin Cheng was about to ask Lin Momo to go down, he found that the girl in his arms had fallen asleep.

Helpless, Lin Cheng had no choice but to carry Lin Momo to the car.

Behind him, Chen Yu still had a complicated expression on his face. He didn’t expect that when he followed Lin Cheng out, he would experience something he had never experienced in his life.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that such scum and beasts were around, and worse, they were all wearing a glamorous identity in front of others.

“They are simply a bunch of inhuman animals! These people should go to hell!” Chen Yu cursed in a low voice.

Thinking of something, Chen Yu frowned again and said nervously, “Will these scum be educated and then allowed to run out again to continue harming others?” After all, those people were not simple in terms of financial resources or influence.

At this time, Lin Cheng, who was sitting in the front seat, spoke succinctly, “No.”

If those people inside were to be sentenced to death, then they would be sentenced to death, and if they were to be sentenced to life imprisonment, none of them would escape.

Lin Cheng’s tone didn’t have any ups and downs; it only carried pure determination.

Hearing what Lin Cheng said, Chen Yu instinctively believed it and looked at Lin Cheng with a more probing eye.

The ‘Moonlight Poetry Society’ had been able to exist in City C for so many years without any incident. The forces and complicated relationships behind it must not be simple. But just now, Lin Cheng asked someone from the ‘Moonlight Poetry Society’ to replace him, and with just one phone call, they opened the doors to him, not even daring to say a word about their invasion.

At this time, the club that had stood for many years was shut down within minutes.

Although it was inevitable that such a dark and evil den would be shut down, it was impossible for a simple person to come forward and deal with it so quickly.

What was Brother Cheng’s background that made him so capable?

Chen Yu secretly glanced at Lin Cheng and kept his thoughts to himself.

After a while, Chen Yu’s eyes fell on Lin Momo.

Chen Yu pointed at Lin Momo and said, “Brother Cheng, this child…” 

How should they deal with her? After all, he was the one who found this child.

Lin Cheng lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Momo. At this time, although the girl was asleep, her hands were still holding on to his sleeves uneasily.

This look made people’s hearts feel distressed.

“I will handle it, you don’t have to worry about it,” Lin Cheng replied in a deep voice.

“Okay.” Then… 

“By the way,” Lin Cheng added, “the subsequent filming of the program is postponed.”

Hearing this, Chen Yu’s expression immediately changed.

“This…. But….” 

At this moment, Chen Yu’s mind was racing, thinking of the show’s liquidated damages for breach of contract, the penalties the company would impose, the lost potential endorsements… 

However, facing Lin Cheng, Chen Yu could not refute at all. He was frightened by his attitude and could only nod, “Okay… I— I’ll go talk to the company and the program team.” 

“Then you go ahead first,” Lin Cheng said.

“Okay… Then, I will trouble Brother Cheng to take care of this child.” After Chen Yu finished speaking, he left with an absolutely gloomy look on his face.

… …

After a while, people in the club were all taken away in police vehicles, one after another, and the entire club was completely sealed.

Wang Zhou approached the car.

“Eldest Young Master, the matters inside have been taken care of,” Wang Zhou reported.

Lin Cheng nodded, “Get in and drive.”

“Yes.”

The car drove away from the club.

In the car, Wang Zhou reported the situation to Lin Cheng again.

“The police will report this matter later. But considering that the victims are all children, the police will keep the children’s information strictly confidential.” 

The victims were all underage children. In addition, it was not the first time that these people had come here to spend money to buy special services, which made the crime even worse.

The final verdict could only be a conviction.

In addition, this matter needed to be reported publicly, so that those people would not have any chance to reverse the situation or manipulate things in secret.

After all, the identities of the people involved were not simple.

Wang Zhou could already imagine that once the police report came out, it would be big news that would shock the whole society.

However, those scum ‘deserve’ such ‘treatment’. Wang Zhou snorted coldly in his heart.

Lin Cheng had left first with Lin Momo, while he stayed inside the room.

Among those little girls, some were lost, some were abducted, and some were left-behind children¹ deceived by honeyed words.

After receiving the notification from the police, some parents rushed over.

Seeing the condition of their children, the parents were absolutely furious. They rushed forward and punched and kicked those scumbags while the police ‘accidentally’ failed to hold them back.

Most of these parents were migrant workers with strong bodies. They surrounded those people and almost beat those scum to death.

Wang Zhou took another look at Lin Momo who was safe and sound in Lin Cheng’s arms and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the little lady was fine.

“Eldest Young Master, the Old Master is on his way over,” Wang Zhou said to Lin Cheng.

Hearing this, Lin Cheng frowned slightly and asked, “What’s he going to do here?” There was nothing for Old Master Lin to concern himself with here.

“The Old Master is anxious and wants to come and see the child.”

Before Lin Cheng could refuse, Wang Zhou quickly said, “The Old Master blames himself very much for this matter.” 

Old Master Lin had clearly identified Lin Momo as his great-grandchild, but because he was afraid of being discovered by Lin Momo, he did not send anyone to protect Lin Momo, which put the child in danger.

Old Master Lin blamed himself very much for this.

At that time, because of his health, he was unable to take care of his family’s affairs. As a result, Lin Cheng was tricked by his stepmother at a young age and even suffered a lot while living outside. Old Master Lin has been blaming himself for this matter for years.

This time Lin Momo almost had an accident, and the old man blamed himself even more.

After hearing Wang Zhou’s words, Lin Cheng’s eyes moved slightly, but his expression became a little darker.

“This is not my child. His anxiousness is in the wrong place,” Lin Cheng emphasized again.

Hearing Lin Cheng’s words, the expression on Wang Zhou’s face became complicated.

“Eldest Young Master…

“There is a report here, you…” It’s best for Lin Cheng to read it himself.

As Wang Zhou spoke, he took out a report from his bag and handed it over to Lin Cheng.

It was a paternity test report.

The subjects of testing were Lin Cheng and Lin Momo.

… …

After Lin Cheng and Lin Momo finished recording the show, the Lin people spent a lot of effort and finally found some suitable test samples at the filming location.

This report came out early this morning, and Wang Zhou only just got it.

The reason as to why he didn’t have time to show this paternity test report to Lin Cheng before…

First, the situation earlier was urgent, and he didn’t have time to care about it. 

Secondly… 

Wang Zhou had been really afraid that if Lin Cheng saw the report and he knew the truth, he would lose control on the spot and beat those scums to death!

T/N: Ahh! We finally get a real Dad and baby!

I was reading another child-rearing fic and the baobao there fell down on his butt and scratched his palms when he tried to catch himself. He was a reborn adult in a toddler’s body, and at that moment, he had this realization: ‘ah! I don’t have to endure, I am loved now‘. And so he sobbed for a long time and kept saying ‘it hurts’, while the adults around were distressed for him.

Compared to that, my heart just broke for Lin Momo. Such a traumatic experience and she calms down after a few pats on the head and murmurs of ‘don’t be afraid’. She’s so used to enduring. If there was no Lin Cheng to cling to, would she even be able to cry at all?

1. ‘Left-behind children’ are not abandoned nor orphans. It’s a societal phenomenon where the parents go far away for better work opportunities and the children are left behind with another guardian—such as grandparents. As seen here, without the parents to guide them, they could easily fall prey to those who would take advantage of them. ↩︎
