Lin Ci put down the cloth and crouched down to look him in the eye, "Ruirui, everything can be discussed, but you're still young, you can't just run off by yourself. Your parents would worry, and what if you met a bad person? What would we do then? Tell Grandma where you live, and we can take you back home, okay?"
"..." The little guy pursed his lips, unwilling to speak.
It seemed like he didn't want to go home at all.
Thinking of such a young child running away from home, Lin Ci became a bit anxious.
She turned her head and called out to her husband, "Think of a way to help Ruirui contact his family. If it doesn't work, call Weitian. She knows a lot and will definitely know how to handle this kind of situation."
The two of them were not well-educated and had earned their living through hard work.
When they encountered problems, the first person they thought of was their daughter.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll ask right away." Shen Yixian, hearing her words, quickly pulled out his phone and dialed Ji Weitian's number—

Meanwhile, in the office of the lab building.
Ji Weitian was facing an unprecedented challenge.
She had arrived early at the meeting place specified by Qin Nanyu, eagerly anticipating the start of the experimental project. But she never expected that Qin Nanyu wouldn't let her into the lab, assigning her instead to organize project materials in the office.
They weren't even important materials, just things like reference books and related experiment case analyses... very superficial stuff.
He said she wasn't a technical person and was only suitable for secretarial work.
In the name of "knowing people's strengths and making the best use of their talents."
What he really meant was that he looked down on her!
Ji Weitian was so angry she nearly coughed up blood, but in the end, since he was the highest commander of the project, she could only grit her teeth and comply.
It was just a project; if she didn't participate, so be it.
She never wanted to participate in any Qin Technology Group experiment projects for the rest of her life!
Ji Weitian spent half the day building herself up psychologically, finally convincing herself to suppress the urge to strangle Qin Nanyu, and reached for the materials in front of her to start organizing.
As soon as she began coding the materials and putting them into the cabinet, her phone rang.
Her fair fingers slid across the screen to answer it, "Dad."
"Weitian, are you busy? Am I interrupting your work?" Shen Yixian cautiously asked.
Ji Weitian knew that her adoptive parents were always afraid of burdening her or interfering with her, so she couldn't help but put down the materials in her hand and calmly replied, "I'm not busy, just resting. Don't worry, Dad."
"That's good to hear... it's just that, well, your mom and I are at the store, and... I don't really know how to explain this, but we found a child. He's about the same age as Yaoyao, and he said he ran away from home. If a child this young really went missing, his family would be so worried. But your mom and I don't know where his home is, so, um... what should we do now?"
Shen Yixian was an honest man, and when faced with this situation, he was both worried and anxious, stammering until he finally explained it roughly.
Ji Weitian heard him and didn't hesitate at all, "Take him to the police station and ask them to help contact the child's parents. Otherwise, if something happens, it would be hard for you to explain."
What if, like before at the airport, they were unlucky and met parents like Qin Nanyu, who were unreasonable and insisted they were kidnapping the child?
If anything happens, call the police; that's what she learned from her bad luck!
"If you're still worried, you can close the store for today and stay at the police station to watch over the child until his family comes to get him."
