“It’s just scratches. We don’t have to go to the hospital. Let’s just go home and put some ointment on
them.“ Neil brushed away a tear that was sliding down his cheek. “Don’t worry.“
Then, he turned around and glanced at Joshua, who was watching them. “Mr. Lynch.“
Neil lifted his head and fixated his clear eyes on Joshua. “Nellie and I will be heading to Mommy’s
place now. Thank you for saving us.“
Joshua shifted his gaze from Luna onto the boy in front of him. He crouched down and said, “Well, I’m
your Daddy. You don’t have to thank me.“
“That’s right, but I still wanted to thank you.“ Suddenly, Neil seemed to recall something. He glanced at
Joshua and said, “The people who kidnapped us didn’t want to kill us, nor did they want to hold us for
ransom. It seemed like the only reason they kidnapped us was to beat us up in revenge. Did you
happen to offend anyone lately?“
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJoshua did not know whether to laugh or cry at this. “ No, I didn’t offend anyone lately.“
“Hmm, that’s strange…“ Neil pursed his lips. After a moment, he sighed and reached out to hold onto
Joshua’s hand. “Nevertheless, thank you. I ‘ll be off taking care of Miss Luna and Princess Nellie now.
You stay here and take care of those scoundrels.“ With that, he skipped off towards Luna, grabbed
ahold of her hand, and they got into Anne’s car together.
Joshua stood motionless, watching Anne’s car get further and further away, until it became a small
black dot in the distance.
“Someone… someone hired us and ordered us to beat these kids up… “ After several rounds of
beating by Lucas, Smith finally confessed. “The employer told us that these kids belong to his enemy.
We can’t kill them, but we have to beat them up as hard as we can.“
Smith kneeled on the ground and pleaded, his voice trembling, “He didn’t tell us these kids belong to
Mr. Lynch… I beat them up, but I thought since they were spoiled little children, just a few kicks would
be enough, I didn’t really plan on beating them to death can you…“
Lucas scoffed and gave Smith another kick with all his might, “How old are you? You’re bullying six-
year-old children! You are heartless, just like your employer! “
Joshua frowned. He turned around and got into the van. After searching around for a while, he found
Smith’s phone wedged in a corner.
The chat history between Smith and the employer was still displayed on the screen. Joshua looked
around for a while, before finally alighting the van and handing the phone over to Lucas. “Here.
Investigate this.“
Suddenly, Joshua’s phone rang. It was the same mysterious person who had informed him about the
kidnapping.
“You don’t have to investigate the employer anymore.“ This time, the mysterious caller had used a
different voice. “I ‘ve already tracked him down. The kidnappers were employed by someone called
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYvonne Walter. She was the one hosting the press conference this morning. I’ve managed to track
down her address and send it to your inbox. If you go now, you can still find her.“
Joshua gripped his phone tightly. He turned around and walked a distance away, staring at the
branches of the trees being blown about in the wind. “You’re a very advanced hacker. I have a feeling
we’ve met before.“
Sitting in front of his computer, Nigel glanced at the laptop placed on a nearby desk. “You’re right. We
have indeed met before.“
A long time ago, Nigel was trying to get back at Aura by spreading fake rumors about Luna on the
internet. At that time, he and Joshua had met in a match between hackers. The laptop he was looking

“Who are you? Why do you care so much about Luna and my kids?“
