nThat night, the old man cooked a table full of dishes to calm Xie Chaochao down.

n

nXie Zhou calmly went into the small room where Xie Chaochao had been learning how to draw.

n

nTheir old house was huge so they could build many rooms.

n

nSince Xie Chaochao was learning how to draw, Xie Zhou even specially prepared a room for her.

n

nIt was filled with the old man’s calligraphy paintings, as well as Xie Chaochao’s drawing materials.

n

nXie Zhou looked around and found that something was wrong with one of the walls.

n

nThere was an area blocked by a calligraphy painting.

n

nXie Zhou lifted up the calligraphy painting and his face darkened.

n

nThere were many holes behind the calligraphy painting. It was obvious that Xie Chaochao had stabbed the wall with her knives.

n

nIt seemed like she had only been practicing throwing knives in this room!

n

nAfter dinner and after Xie Chaochao fell asleep, Xie Zhou went to look for the old man.

n

n“Didn’t you say that you know how to teach children? Did you mean teaching children how to play with knives?”

n

nXie Zhou pointed at the guilty old man and scolded him angrily, “Look at what you’ve taught the child!”

n

nThe old master smiled awkwardly. “This is all an accident, an accident…”

n

nWhen Xie Zhou heard this, he thought of the hole in the wall and became even angrier.

n

nHe scolded the old man angrily.

n

nThe old man was also infuriated by the scolding. In the end, the two of them started fighting.

n

n“If you had taught her like a girl, would she be interested in knives?”

n

nNeither of them was convinced by the other and felt that it was the other party’s fault.

n

nXie Chaochao, who was already fast asleep, had no idea that there was a huge war at home.

n

nThe next day, Xie Chaochao woke up to find that both her father and grandpa had a bruise on their faces.

n

n“Grandpa, Daddy, what happened to your faces? Did you fight with someone?”

n

nXie Chaochao recalled that when Little Fatty fought with his classmates, his face was also in the same state.

n

nXie Zhou turned his face to the side, not wanting to let the little girl see the injuries on his face.

n

n“I accidentally ran into the door frame yesterday!”

n

n“I fell off the bed yesterday!”

n

nBoth of them were too embarrassed to tell Xie Chaochao that they had fought.

n

nXie Chaochao really believed their nonsense and didn’t ask anymore.

n

n…

n

nXie Zhou brought Xie Chaochao to the police station in town.

n

nIn the first few years after he was released from prison, he needed to report to the police station regularly.

n

nThe police officers here also knew about Xie Zhou’s past. They knew that he had been imprisoned because he was implicated after helping someone.

n

nThey took good care of Xie Zhou.

n

nNow that a few years have passed, Xie Zhou no longer needed to report here. However, Xie Zhou still came here from time to time to visit his friends.

n

nHe would even bring them some food.

n

nThe officers at the police station had a good relationship with him.

n

nWhen they saw Xie Chaochao, all of them liked her very much.

n

n“No wonder you didn’t bring Chaochao out previously. The little girl is so pretty. If it were me, I wouldn’t bear to bring her out either!”

n

n“I’ve never seen such a beautiful girl. Xie Zhou, you’re so lucky!”

n

nXie Zhou smiled and said, “I’ve now brought her here for you to see, right?”

n

nXie Chaochao wasn’t afraid of strangers and had a sweet tongue. She smiled and greeted the officers, “Hello, Uncle, Aunty. My name is Xie Chaochao!”

n

n“Little Chaochao should be in junior high soon, right? When she comes to town, we’ll take care of her. Don’t worry!”

n

n“My son is also in junior high. He can help look out for Chaochao at school!”

n

nThe female officers treated Xie Chaochao with extreme care.

n

nXie Chaochao found all the food, drinks, and things to play with.

n

nXie Chaochao chatted with a few aunties. Seeing that Xie Zhou was still talking to someone, she went elsewhere.

n

nWhen she arrived at a room, she saw the three kidnappers again.

n

nSeeing Xie Chaochao, they were stunned.

n

nXie Chaochao walked to the glass and said to Brother Qiang, “Do you still have this kind of knives? My grandpa said that it’s better than the ones he made. He wants more of it!”

n

nBrother Qiang almost coughed out blood out of anger.

n

nThe knives that he had treasured for many years had been snatched away by someone, and she still complained that there were too few?

n

nDoes this brat know how much these are worth?

n

nShe really dared to ask for more!
