Li Qixi turned slowly, looking at the old man wildly waving his hands at her, an excited expression flashing in her eyes.
At that moment, the shelter's guard rushed over.
"What are you doing? Get down!" The guard admonished the hunchback and the others as they moved forward.
The two men carrying the hunchback immediately dropped him, fear evident in their actions, and hurriedly explained, "The hunchback said he knows that girl, so we..."
"Know them?" The guard sneered. "Do you know who they are? They're none other than the famous Mr. Xiao!"
"Hunchback uncle!" A voice of excitement came from behind the guard.
Turning around, Li Qixi, tears in her eyes, walked toward them in excitement.
"Qixi, is it really you?" Li Qixi helped the hunchback up, and he looked at her affectionately.
"I didn't expect to see you here!"
"By the way, Hunchback Uncle, have you seen my parents?" Li Qixi hurriedly asked.
