Well...

Have you found his real parents?

Here's the thing.

We're not sure yet.

We still need another blood test

to confirm it.

Yuan.

Come here. Hurry, Yuan.

Hurry, sit here.

Who are they?

These two are police officers from the city.

They're taking you to the city.

For what?

For school.

Yuan.

Here's the thing.

We came here today

to learn more about you.

I'm not going.

And then...

This is my home.

I'm not leaving.

Yuan, speak nicely to the officers.

I'm not going with them!

Going to school in the city

can help you get a good job in the future.

I'm not going with them.

This is my real home.

I'm not going with them.

I want to stay with you.

You want a life like mine?

I want to stay with you.

Get out!

Get out!

- You! - Get out!

What's wrong with you?

Don't get upset.

Even you reject me now!

Even you don't want me anymore?

Why did you pick me up at all?

Why didn't you let me die back then?

Yuan!

Yuan!

Slow down!

Did you find her?

How did it go?

She's not home.

Did the call go through?

No.

I've been trying, but I can't reach her.

We've looked everywhere we could think of.

What happened?

Director Deng, you're finally here.

What should we do now?

No, wait.

Don't panic.

One at a time.

Xiaoxing, you go first.

This morning...

This morning, Madam Zhang and I came here together.

On our way here,

the hospital told me to get the report.

I went, thinking it was just two blocks away.

She could come herself.

I was about to call you after getting the report.

And Ms. Meilian called to say

Madam Zhang never came.

So we started searching everywhere.

We can't reach her by phone,

and she's nowhere to be found.

We ran out of ideas.

Madam Zhang is always the first to arrive.

When I came in today, she wasn't here.

I waited.

I thought she overslept, but...

No. Did she go home to rest?

No.

I heard about her illness.

Could she be in danger?

What illness?

Her illness must have

- made her confused. - Director Deng.

She can't find her way.

Here's the report from this morning.

Yes.

Alzheimer's disease.

(Diagnosis: Mid-Stage Alzheimer) Mid-stage.

Yeah.

What should we do?

We've searched malls, supermarkets,

parks, and so on.

I checked every place I could think of.

I can't find her.

Where else could she go?

Yeah.

Alright.

I know a few places

Madam Zhang might have gone to.

Let's split up and search.

Okay.

Hurry.

Kid, you're quite stubborn.

You cried?

How can a man shed tears?

Aren't you ashamed?

I'm not crying. I don't need you to persuade me.

Who said I'm persuading you?

When I got sick,

my birth parents abandoned me.

Now that I'm well,

who gave them the right to take me back?

Who told you that?

Your birth parents

never abandoned you.

You

were abducted by human traffickers.

I believe

no parents hate their children.

They must've never stopped looking for you.

I still refuse.

They live well in the city.

My dad's different.

He's old.

His back aches after collecting junk.

If I leave now,

who will care for him?

(I spoiled this child since he was young.)

Don't mind it.

So...

Since you've raised him all this time,

why

look for his birth parents now?

I'm getting old

and have poor health.

Isn't he about to start middle school?

If he stays with me,

he'll just be a junk collector too.

I picked him up

and treated him as my own son.

I want the best for him.

So,

letting his parents in the city take him back

and let him study in the city

is better than staying with me.

But have you thought about

what you're going to do alone

if he leaves for the city?

Yuan...

Yuan...

(If you stay,)

(how will you care for him?)

Collect junk?

Do physical work to take care of him?

Yuan.

You have good grades.

Mr. Qi

holds high hopes for you.

He wants you to leave the mountains,

get into university,

live your own life,

and make something of your life.

Only in that way

can you take good care of him.

Right?

I've said so much

not to persuade you.

I just want to tell you

what I felt

after experiencing all these.

What did you experience?

Nothing.

You ran off crying.

Mr. Qi must be worried.

Let's head back.

Wipe your tears.

Men don't cry.

(Songtao Road)

(Linnan Primary School, Linshan City)

Madam Zhang?

Why are you here?

Come on.

Everyone's worried.

Go back with me.

Head Nurse Zeng?

Aren't you on duty today?

You came to pick up Yanyan?

Ranran still hasn't come out.

I wonder if the teacher is holding the class back again.

Madam Zhang.

Madam Zhang.

Nurse Zhang!

Yanyan and Ranran are playing at my house.

Come over to my place.

Ranran went to your place again?

That girl

didn't even tell me.

Alright, let's go.

I thought you were on duty.

Running off like that

will worry your dad.

Men

don't cry like that.

Hurry and wipe your tears.

Apologize to your dad. Good boy.

Dad.

I know you're doing this for me.

Dad.

Dad.

I shouldn't have hit you.

Dad.

I can't bear to part with you.

I don't want to leave.

I want to stay by your side.

Once you move to the city,

listen to the grown-ups.

How is she?

She's fine. She's already asleep. Don't worry.

Here, have a seat.

Can this illness be cured?

Xiaoxing.

What did the doctor say?

The doctor said

medication only helps

support treatment.

Most importantly,

she needs her family's care and companionship.

That means there's no cure.

We can only hope Madam Zhang's illness

progresses slowly.

(Missing Person) Usually, people with this illness

don't even know they have it.

How do we tell her?

Yeah, should we

tell her or keep it from her?

The doctor said

it's best not to tell her at this stage.

Or it could trigger her.

I'll come to Tuanyuan Restaurant often

to keep her company.

I hope you all

can also look after her.

Of course.

Don't worry.

I'll be extra cautious from now on.

Don't blame yourself.

It's not your fault.

(Tianhai Lucky)

What?

The review wasn't approved?

Is it so difficult?

None of the companies I've contacted seems reliable.

Keep looking then.

If you can't even handle this,

what use are you?

Gang, calm down.

I'm already working on it.

How can I stay calm?

I'm telling you.

If you can't fix this,

scram!

Okay, I got it.

Okay, Gang.

Gang?

Why did you stop?

Keep massaging.

Harder. I can take it.

(Linshan City Police Bureau)

Officer Ai.

Qi Yuan's DNA results are out.

His DNA matches Sun Wenhan's

by 99.99%.

They're biological father and son.

Alright.

Thank you.

You worked hard.

Okay.

Goodbye.

(Qi Defu's voluntary surrender)

(shows the value and meaning)

(of our anti-trafficking work.)

(It should be encouraged.)

(Qi Defu's illegal adoption)

is complex

but still loving.

There will be

a fair judgment in the end.

(Missing Person)

(Missing Person)

Honey.

You don't blame me, do you?

Still

no sign of our son.

Hello?

Hello?

Lawyer Sun.

Officer Ai?

I've got good news.

We found Sun Xiaoguang.

Sun Xiaoguang?

Really?

We found him...

We found him...

(Award Certificates)

Dad.

I know you're doing this for me.

Dad.

I shouldn't have hit you.

Dad.

I don't want to leave.

I want to stay by your side...

I got drunk again.

- Hello? - Lawyer Sun.

Director Deng.

Did Officer Ai call me yesterday?

Yes, she wanted to share good news.

We found Sun Xiaoguang.

What?

What did you say?

We found Sun Xiaoguang.

There's a boy,

whose DNA matches yours.

It proves he's Sun Xiaoguang.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. I'll come right now.

The child will arrive around 10 AM.

Get ready.

Okay.

Okay.

Xiaoguang.

Xiaoguang, don't be scared.

This is your biological father.

♪How can one ever see♪

Lawyer Sun.

This is Xiaoguang's adoptive father, Mr. Qi.

♪How can one ever know♪

♪All that you've been through♪

It's all thanks to Mr. Qi.

He took Xiaoguang

for DNA testing.

That's why

we found him so quickly.

He also raised Xiaoguang.

How could I ever thank you?

Right.

Take it.

I can't take this money.

You must take it.

I won't take it.

Mr. Qi,

you raised the child for so long.

You must take it.

If I take this money,

and let him study in the city.

Mr. Qi.

We packed you some food.

Take it and eat it on your way back.

Well...

I can't accept this.

You've already helped a lot with the child.

I really can't take it.

Mr. Qi.

This is a small token

from everyone at Anti-abduction Office.

It doesn't cost much.

Take it.

Be careful.

Thank you.

Sorry to trouble you.

When you get back,

call me anytime

if you have any problems.

I won't have any problems.

I'll be going.

Travel safe.

Mr. Qi.

Don't worry.

Trust the government

about Yuan.

I'll keep you updated.

I'll go now.

Take care.

Go back.

I'm going.

Alright, call me when you arrive.

Okay.

Careful, Mr. Qi.

Go back.

(Linshan Public Transport Group)

Alright, go in.

Wait.

Change your shoes.

Here.

I bought them for you. Brand new.

Change into them.

I also bought you some things. Look.

There are towels.

(Please Come Home) One white

and one yellow.

I don't know what color you like.

Anyway, you can use one for your face

and one for your feet.

And this bedsheet

is 100% cotton. It'll be comfortable.

And this

is body wash.

I also got a children's toothbrush.

(Missing Person)

Children's toothpaste.

Hand soap.

haven't had time to clean up.

Let me show you around first.

Come on.

Come on.

(Another family is reunited.)

(and felt the sun's warmth again.)

(Linshan City Police Bureau) (This family's)

(ten years of hardship)

(vanished in this moment.)

(Ranran.)

(I hope you met someone kind)

(and didn't suffer much)

(like Xiaoguang.)

(Darkness is only temporary.)

(All the persistence is worth it.)

(I won't stop.)

(Wait for me.)

(Spicy Dumplings, Signature Mini Hotpot Ingredients)

What's up?

Why invite me for dinner suddenly?

Excuse me!

What do you want to eat?

Grilled fish

and some shrimp.

Let's get some clams too.

Give us some skewers and cold dishes.

Why the long face?

Did Jiajia bully you?

I was adopted too.

If not for my adoptive parents,

I might have died long ago.

They treated me very well,

like I was their own son.

They paid for my schooling

and university tuition.

I also got into the police academy.

What about your birth parents?

Did they look for you?

My adoptive parents

helped me search for them.

They had another child

and had a happy life.

At first, I thought

they abandoned me

because of my poor health.

But

after joining Anti-abduction Office

and experiencing so many things,

I finally understood.

Some parents

will give up everything

just to find their children.

But others

didn't mean to give up their children...

They just

couldn't provide for them.

Life has to go on after all.

I get it.

What do you plan to do now?

I live with my adoptive parents,

but

my biological parents

want me to go back

so that the four of us

can start anew.

Are you going back with them?

They never had other kids

for me.

I'm all they have.

Seeing Sun Xiaoguang and Mr. Qi

made me think of us.

So you asked me out for drinks

to ask what I'd do?

I think

you already knew the answer

the moment you asked me out.

You just couldn't decide.

If you return to your biological parents,

your adoptive parents will be hurt.

But if you don't go back,

your biological parents

will always regret it.

But that's how life is.

Nothing is perfect.

But I think

the wound didn't happen overnight.

So it won't heal overnight.

Give yourself time.

And give both families time.

What do you think?

Rui.

Actually,

I joined Anti-abduction Office for a different reason than you.

When I got into the police academy,

I already wanted to join Anti-abduction Office.

I wanted to fight trafficking

because I don't want other kids

to be like me.

Let's talk about something cheerful.

(Madam Hong's arrest)

(led to the discovery of several missing kids.)

(Rui.)

(Let's keep working hard.)

(Help Find My Daughter. Tuanyuan Restaurant)

Liu, you're here.

Meilian.

Congratulations.

How has it been after Xiaoxiao came home?

Are you getting along well?

Here, tell me all about it.

Grandpa and grandchild

are family after all.

Blood is thicker than water.

Is that so?

Liu's here.

How is it?

Your precious grandson is back.

That's what I asked.

Look how light his steps are.

He must enjoy being a grandpa.

Right?

I waited day after day

and finally got him back.

It feels just like a dream.

I want to hold him all day long

and never let him leave my side.

But I can't do that, can I?

That's what I wanted to talk to you about.

Your grandson is back.

You should spend more time with him.

You don't need

to come here every day.

Go home.

Yes, Liu.

You finally reunited with your grandson.

You should focus on your family.

Are...

Are you kicking me out?

We're not kicking you out.

We're just saying

spending time with your grandson

matters more than staying here.

- Go home! - Yeah.

Liu.

Go home. I...

Listen.

I came back

to see you all.

And also...

(Missing Person)

We should remove Xiaoxiao's photo.

Well...

Liu.

You do it.

You do it yourself.

Alright.

(Missing Person)

Xiaoxiao...

is home now.

(Missing Person)

All the children will go home.

Yes.

With Yanyan there,

they'll all go home.

Yes.

They'll all come home.

We'll find them.

(Missing Person)

(Missing Person, Name: Lin Ran) We'll gather all the kids

and make them a big feast.

Zhang.

You'll make your signature dumplings.

Meilian, you can make cold dishes.

Let's give them a proper reunion

and a good time.

Yes.

I'll make them dumplings.

Yes.

Everyone will gather together.

Yes.

It'll be fun.

Yes.

(Missing Person)

(Linshan City Police Bureau)

As Skinner,

Huang Chuan, Madam Hong,

and other traffickers were arrested,

several cold cases

surfaced again.

Through joint efforts,

we found Bai Xiujing, abducted in 1994,

Sun Xiaoguang, abducted in 1998,

and rescued the recently abducted Zheng Weiwei,

Little Spud,

and other abducted people.

This shows Linshan's anti-trafficking work

has achieved a partial victory.

Next,

we'll focus on Cripple.

From confessions we've gathered from those arrested,

Cripple is likely

still hiding in Linshan.

We've long wanted to capture

that trafficker, Cripple.

He was very active in the early 90s.

He was involved in nearly every case.

He was once the biggest trafficker

in Linshan City

and nearby areas.

But in the last decade,

news of him

vanished abruptly.

It's like he disappeared.

Even without further leads,

we must not let down our guard

on his arrest.

Yes.
