Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Selfless and Just

Zhao Feitian listened to Yang Xiong, smiled lightly, and sat back down, seemingly unaware of the elder’s coldness towards him.

Yan Kai and Gu Junming exchanged a look but remained silent. Yang Xiong didn’t seem to have any intention of covering anything up, which was good.

Old Song exchanged a few pleasantries before steering the conversation towards the child trafficking gang.

It was reported that Gu Junming and the others encountered violent resistance from the village militia and even got injured.

Yang Xiong immediately frowned, looking at Zhao Feitian: "Didn’t you say they were all sensible villagers? How could such a thing happen? Even using knives to hurt people?"

"No, I really don’t know about this! There must have been a slip-up in their instructions. I’m not familiar with those villagers."

Gu Junming said: "This child is from our village, so why did he end up in a village on the outskirts of the city?"

"This... I don’t know... maybe... maybe just passing through?"

Yan Kai chuckled: "You’re in the city and they’re in the suburbs; how could they just pass through there? Moreover, I’ve investigated that village is notorious for child trafficking, with many children sold from there."

Everyone’s faces changed, especially Yang Xiong, who was already frowning.

Zhao Feitian hurriedly said: "Is it that serious? I’m a city dweller and rarely visit there. Asking me seems pointless." He truly was an old hand, with a strong mental fortitude.

Gu Junming said flatly: "Since you intend to adopt a child, you should know how important such matters are. You should be clear about the child’s origins, shouldn’t you? How could you trustingly accept a child without even meeting these villagers? Didn’t the person who delivered the child tell you their identities? Two have confessed already, frequently contacting you."

Zhao Feitian lifted his head, meeting Gu Junming’s eyes—sharp as knives—and felt a bit flustered, yet he still smiled.
