Gao Ming surveyed his surroundings, his eyes landing on the locals punishing the human traffickers. A smile finally broke through his fear-stricken face. "Thank goodness, we've been saved. I thought I would never see my grandparents again," he sobbed.
His laughter soon turned into tears, the fear from their harrowing journey still fresh in his mind. His body trembled as tears streamed down his face.
Jiang Nuan, seeing his state, wiped his tears away while Su Li comforted him. "My mother always said to stay calm in the face of adversity. There's always a solution. We did well just now, and I will protect you. Have you forgotten? I know martial arts!"
Gao Ming, still sobbing, slowly calmed down. "Right, Su Li, you know martial arts. Even if no one came to save us, you could have protected us. You could have defeated the traffickers. Su Li, you are our little hero!"
