Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day

Chapter 517: Spring Festival Gala

Not long after, Jun Shiling arrived at the apartment. Xia Wanyuan lay on the sofa like a kitten in the afternoon, exuding a tired laziness.

Jun Shiling hugged her and kissed Xia Wanyuan’s forehead comfortingly. “I’m here.”

“Mm.” Surrounded by Jun Shiling’s warmth, Xia Wanyuan’s mood improved.

In her previous life, she often fell into depression. However, as the pillar of the Great Xia Dynasty, she usually stayed on the observatory for a period of time herself. When her emotions were dispatched, she would appear in front of everyone with the most perfect image.

Rubbing in Jun Shiling’s arms, Xia Wanyuan felt that although there was darkness in her previous life and this life, at least now, she had someone accompanying her.

On the way here, Jun Shiling had already gotten someone to investigate where Xia Wanyuan had gone in the morning. He naturally knew why Xia Wanyuan was in a bad mood.

Jun Shiling rubbed Xia Wanyuan’s head. “You have me.”

“Mm,” Xia Wanyuan replied lazily, nestled in Jun Shiling’s arms.

Jun Shiling allowed her to continue depending on him. He called Lin Jing and declined his afternoon work.

The police station acted quickly. When they received the news, they arrested Li Juan, who was in the hospital. They dug out an entire professional begging chain from her and the man in the rental house.

Because the nature of the case was too bad and the case was too important, the higher-ups of the Public Security Bureau personally supervised it. Soon, a large group of people in Beijing were arrested.

The people in Beijing had recently realized that there seemed to be fewer children begging around them. The people who often squatted beside the subway station had also disappeared.

Just as they were wondering if the city’s appearance checks in Beijing had started again,

The national news channel suddenly carried out a special report.

The report first threw out the photo of the beggar who had touched countless people and many stretched out their hands to help her, then it was filled with question marks.

“What’s the story behind this photo that touched countless people?”

As the host explained and the scenes changed,

What appeared in the news was not the touching and harmonious scene that everyone had imagined.

Instead, it was a very uncomfortable scene. In the dilapidated bathroom of the rented house, a row of disabled children were squatting by the toilet in tattered clothes.

They were too short and could not be recognized at all. Everyone had bright red bruises. Some of the children’s wounds had not scabbed over, and the pus mixed with blood had stained their clothes.

Just as everyone was wondering what the children had to do with the photo,

The scene changed and the police began to introduce a major case that they had recently solved.

In the past few years, they had often seen especially poor children begging on the streets of Beijing. When kind people saw their miserable looks, they would mostly give some money.

However, the money that these children got did not actually turn into food. Instead, they handed it all to their masters.

These so-called masters either stole or kidnapped other people’s children to bring them to places high up in the mountains and far away, then broke their limbs, making them look even more pitiful, and then let these children go on the streets to beg.

The money that the beggar had taken was handed to the owner. If it did not reach the target amount, it would result in a beating.

In any case, the more serious their injuries were, the more ignorant passers-by would pity them and give them more money. Over the years, countless children had died in Li Juan’s hands.

After the matter was exposed, it caused a huge commotion.

Countless media cameras were directed at the filth that had been hidden under calmness for a long time. No one would have thought that the pitiful beggar they met on the way home from work every day actually had a group of murderous devils behind the scenes.

Kidnapping children, beating them until they were disabled, and then letting them beg for money to eat, drink, and play with them. This kind of thing simply refreshed everyone’s morals. The netizens were furious and began to report to the local public.

The impact of the matter was too great and affected the entire country. The public security everywhere used this as a warning and checked the local begging crowd. Thereafter, they discovered many hidden sins.

Countless people who had fallen into the abyss saw the sun again.

The police also knew that the last time Li Juan and Xia Wanyuan had a conflict, they had been on the news. When they reported it, they specially mentioned the huge contribution Xia Wanyuan had made to the case.

The rumors of Xia Wanyuan hitting the old woman broke on its own. Many netizens even said that Xia Wanyuan had hit her too lightly and it wouldn’t be too much to kill that detestable old woman directly.

Over the past few days, Xia Wanyuan had been in a relatively low mood and did not have much activity for the time being. Hence, Jun Shiling stopped the company matters for her and made her write and draw at home to kill time.

That day, Jun Shiling got off work and brought a top-secret document back to the manor, placing it in front of Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan looked at it and saw that it was the number of kidnapped children that had been cleared by the police. Compared to last month, the number of people rescued had increased by 300%.

Xia Wanyuan closed the file and reached out to Jun Shiling, her eyes clearly begging for a hug.

Jun Shiling’s heart softened at Xia Wanyuan’s adorable gaze. He smiled and picked her up horizontally. “You’re so clingy.”

Xia Wanyuan did not care what Jun Shiling said. She leaned lazily and felt Jun Shiling’s pine fragrance surrounding her. Her heart calmed down.

She was not a person who would go down a dead end. Even though she would be a little down sometimes, she would adjust quickly, not to mention that Jun Shiling was accompanying her.

“Jun Shiling,” Xia Wanyuan suddenly said after a moment of silence.

“What’s wrong?” Jun Shiling sat on the sofa with Xia Wanyuan in his arms. He peeled an orange and fed it to Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan turned her head and avoided the orange.

“What’s wrong? You don’t like it?” Jun Shiling was puzzled.?Didn’t you like it quite a lot last night?

Jun Shiling put down the orange and reached for the lychee on the table. Unexpectedly, his face suddenly turned warm.

Jun Shiling turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan smiling at him.

“Has the sun risen from the west today?”

“No, I just like you very much and want to kiss you.” Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling with sparkling eyes. The most ordinary words she said made Jun Shiling’s heart surge.

Jun Shiling threw away the lychee and pulled Xia Wanyuan closer. He lowered his head and was about to kiss her.

Xia Wanyuan’s phone rang.

Xia Wanyuan had set different rings for different people. The ringtone that was ringing now was Tang Yin’s.

Xia Wanyuan stopped Jun Shiling. “I have work matters.”

Xia Wanyuan listened to Tang Yin’s words seriously, then hung up the phone and looked at Jun Shiling.

“Tang Yin called and said that I received an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala..”
