When the dog heard someone coming, it raised its head and locked eyes with Xiao Ke.
Then, it started to circle around Xiao Ke, wagging its tail, its eyes never leaving the bun in Xiao Ke's hand.
"Bark, bark, bark!"
"Do you want to eat some buns?"
"Bark!"
Xiao Ke placed a bun at his feet, and the little white dog immediately started wolfing it down.
"Are you also unwanted? You also don't have a mom or dad, right? We are so similar."
Xiao Ke stroked the little white dog while he talked to himself. After the little dog had finished eating, Xiao Ke was ready to leave and search for his jade pendant.
After taking just a couple of steps, he heard the dog's bark behind him again.
Xiao Ke turned around to look at the little dog.
"I am leaving, do you want to come with me?"
"Bark!"
"Hehe, okay then, we are now good friends. Since you are quite white, I'll call you Xiao Hei (Little Black)."
"Xiao Hei, come here."
"Bark?" The little white dog looked a bit puzzled but then jumped into Xiao Ke's arms.
All the way, Xiao Hei contently lay in Xiao Ke's arms, and they soon arrived near McDonald's.
"Xiao Hei, why do you think we are so alike? I live my life as a human and you as a dog."
Xiao Ke stroked Xiao Hei's head as two people blocked their path.
Lifting his head, Xiao Ke found himself being watched by two soldiers, which made him feel uneasy.
"Uncles in uniforms, l've never done anything bad. I'm going to McDonald's to look for something."
The two camouflaged soldiers took out their phones to doublecheck something, then one of them squatted down, patted Xiao Ke's head.
One of the soldiers even had a pistol strapped to his waist, which scared Xiao Ke.
"Don't be scared, child, can you identify this item?"
After speaking, the soldier showed him a photo.
A photo of a bluish-purple jade pendant entered his sight. Wasn't that the jade pendant that Xiao Ke had lost?
"Uncle in uniform, this is what I lost, can you give it back to me?"
"This thing is very important to me, I beg you."
The two men looked at each other and smiled, then resumed their questioning.
"Are you Xiao Ke, about to turn six this year?"
Xiao Ke nodded, he was also very curious about how these two uncles knew his name when he had never seen them before.
One of the soldiers used a walkie-talkie and barked out orders.
"Inform all squads, swiftly assemble on Sunshine Boulevard, over!"
The two of them smiled reassuringly at Little Ke, telling him not to fear as they were not villains.
In the meantime, a multitude of soldiers marched towards Sunshine Boulevard.
One after another, police cars drew near, dispersing the crowd and the flow of vehicles, turning all the traffic lights within the area to red.
Police officers placed barricades swiftly, blocking off the intersections.
Few others were on their phones, seemingly reporting something.
Little Ke was scared stiff, surrounded suddenly by over a hundred uniformed uncles from the army and the police.
Additionally, the number kept surging; he was becoming encircled by an even larger crowd.
In the Yanbei Military Zone, the Commander was on a call.
"General, we've found the young master, what should be our next move?"
"Stand down, let the Wang family deal with the rest."
After the call ended, the Commander was left lost in thought; this Wang family was truly enigmatic.
"President Wang, we've located the young master, his location is..."
"Lead your team, depart now."
From the Wang Corporation, a fleet of luxury cars started streaming out of the underground parking garage. Within the crowd, Xiao Ke nervously scanned his surroundings, clutching Xiao Hei tightly in his hands.
"Uncle Soldier, can I go now? | have things to do."
Xiao Ke asked in a weak voice, looking at the nearby soldiers with an innocent look.
"Young Master, you can't leave now. Your family is coming to pick you up."
"But Xiao Ke doesn't have any family. My grandfather has already passed away."
Xiao Ke felt baffled, they seemed to have mistaken him for someone else, he didn't have any family left.
A sound of revving engines echoed as a few Rolls-Royce Cullinans and a Maserati barged in unison.
Two soldiers greeted the cars and opened their doors, respectfully they called out, "Miss Wang." A group of black-suited bodyguards emerged from the Cullinans, their presence intimidating.
Xiao Ke curiously looked towards the opened car door, his heart thumping rapidly.
A woman stepped out of the car, her long legs were the first to catch his eyes.
The black uniform elevated her mysterious and charming aura.
With her 1.7-meter tall stature, customized high-heels accentuated her slimness and even without makeup, her delicate face could captivate a crowd of men.
Wang Siqi eyed Xiao Ke, her high heels clicking on the ground as she walked toward him step by step.
"What a beautiful sister!"
This was the prettiest sister Xiao Ke had ever seen, and she seemed very wealthy.
Within a distance of about ten steps, Wang Siqi had already approached Xiao Ke.
Her gaze was full of gentleness and concern.
Thin, pitiful, dirty...This was the first time Wang Siqi had met her little brother, and she could imagine the sight of him hungry, unable to afford clothing.
A pang went through her heart, and her nose began to sting.
The brother her family had been searching for years was finally found today.
"Xiao Ke, come here, it's me, your sister."
Wang Siqi squatted down and forced a smile, already some mist in her beautiful eyes.
"I... I don't have a sister, I don't know you, you've got the wrong person, I'm sorry."
Xiao Ke took a step back. He honestly didn't recognize the beautiful woman in front of him.
Moreover, she was so rich, she was certain to look down on him.
The other wealthy people he knew all hated him, looking at him with cold eyes.
"I am your sister, your name is Wang Xiao Ke. Five years ago, you were taken away from the hospital. By the time we discovered it, it was already too late."
