Shen Wei received the latest mission: "Save Villain No. 3 with an antisocial personality disorder."
Immediately after, Shen Wei's mind was filled with a long account of Villain No. 3's life!
He had been homeless and destitute. Not only was he bullied, but sometimes when he was very hungry, he had to fight stray dogs for food!
Moreover, the critical turning point in his life was only three days away!
If Shen Wei did not appear in time, he would be bullied by a group of children and have one of his eyes blinded. From then on, he would become gloomy and resentful of everyone.
When Shen Wei saw Villain No. 3's age, she couldn't help but question: "System, are you sure you haven't made a mistake? This child is only three years old?"
Nowadays, she dealt with many children at her kindergarten, and a three-year-old who had just learned to walk and run had ended up in such a dire situation?
The System's cold, mechanical voice replied: "No mistake, time is running out, please take action immediately."
Previously, the System had always given ample time for past assignments. When she had saved Mu Zhixing, there was still more than half a month until the critical point in that child's story.
With so much time, she could have done plenty of preparation work beforehand.
But now, there was only a short period of time.
Even for someone like Shen Wei, she was starting to feel anxious.
Three days was one thing, but more importantly, the System had given her a rather strange mission this time.
There was also a bundled task to help Villain No. 3 find his biological parents.
Villain No. 3 had been kidnapped. But he was just a baby when he was abducted. On top of that, there was no DNA registration for kidnapping cases at that time, so there was no way to trace his origins.
The difficulty of this mission was more daunting than her previous assignments.
And Villain No. 3 wasn't even in their city. He was in the neighboring city! It would take six hours to drive there now.
Shen Wei set off immediately.
She couldn't wait a single minute. As she left, she called Liu Chef and Su Jun, saying she had some errands to run.
She hurried out.
Her heart was pounding the entire way.
A three-year-old child wandering homeless on the streets. She couldn't imagine what the child must have gone through!
When Shen Wei left in a hurry, she only called Liu Chef to let him know she had something to take care of.
Everyone else was worried that something had happened and wanted to call her. But Shen Wei was driving and couldn't answer the phone!
All she said was that she needed to go out for a bit and asked them to watch the house. Nothing more was said.
When Shen Wei received the System's notification, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. She drove for a full six hours.
Driving for such a long time while being highly anxious and worried took a toll on her. On top of Shen Wei's urgency, the double fatigue caused her to have a headache towards the end.
But she still persevered and endured it.
When she arrived at the neighboring city, Shen Wei booked a five-star hotel directly! At that moment, her stomach was already growling with hunger. She found a small noodle shop by the roadside and went in to have a few bites.
While eating, she worried whether the child would be able to eat or not.
All of a sudden, she lost her appetite.
After forcing herself to have a simple meal, she hurried to look for the child! She continued driving, and the navigation led her to a factory! The location was very remote, and being there alone at night as a woman made Shen Wei feel a bit scared.
Moreover, the street lights in the area were dim, barely illuminating five meters ahead. Shen Wei kept driving forward until she was stopped by the factory's security guard.
A vehicle arriving so late at night looked very suspicious.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
Shen Wei wanted to summon the System.
But the System was persistently playing dead. As the security guard approached, Shen Wei rolled down her window and said, "Sorry, I took a wrong turn with the navigation. What is this place?"
The security guard was initially on high alert but relaxed considerably when he saw that Shen Wei was a woman.
He visibly let out a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, I see. This is a detergent factory. It's pretty remote. A young lady like you shouldn't be out so late. You'd better head back."
The security guard uncle was quite friendly.
Shen Wei nodded.
As the security guard was about to leave, they suddenly heard a chorus of barking. Each bark louder than the last.
Shen Wei quickly shone her car lights in that direction and saw several dogs barking fiercely at a small child. The child was filthy. The color of their clothes was indistinguishable.
The System, which had been playing dead earlier, immediately spoke up: "Congratulations, you have found Villain No. 3."
Shen Wei got out of the car immediately. The pack of stray dogs, being bullies who only picked on the weak, quickly ran away upon seeing Shen Wei approach!
Only the child remained standing there.
The security guard said, "Oh, this little rascal is here again today."
Shen Wei asked, "Has he been around here all this time? Where are his parents?"
The guard replied, "I don't know."
He then explained to Shen Wei that the child had only appeared in the past few days. At first, he thought the child was from a nearby village. But after some time, he realized something wasn't right.
But the guard was the type who preferred not to get involved in anything unnecessary, so he simply didn't care.
The child would always come running over. Sometimes, he would give the child a sausage.
Shen Wei said, "This child must be homeless. I'll take him to the police station."
The guard had been annoyed by the little rascal all along, so he was more than happy for Shen Wei to take care of it: "Sure, sure, take the kid with you. Women really are kind-hearted!"
As he spoke, they heard a growling sound coming from the child's stomach.
Shen Wei picked up the child and put him in the car. The child didn't struggle at all.
When Shen Wei held the child, her heart sank to the bottom. This child was too light.
Having grown accustomed to seeing well-fed, chubby children, the sight of one in such a condition was truly unbearable.
