After listening to the little boyâs words, Tan Rou fell silent for a long time. She wondered if she had offended someone from the J country royal family in her past life. Could it be that she owed them a lot of money? Why did it seem that wherever she went, she would run into members of the J countryâs royal family?
Shang Jin had turned off the translator to save battery, so she had no idea what the little boy had just said, but looking at Tan Rouâs expression, she knew that the boyâs words must have been shocking.
âWhat did he just say?â Shang Jin asked while turning on her own translator, âDid he say where he lives? And how did he get here?â
Tan Rou replied, âHe didnât tell me where he lives, but he told me who he is, and he also mentioned which country heâs from.â
Shang Jin pressed on, âHe must be from J country too, couldnât be that heâs also a Prince, could he? Speaking of which, his eyes are quite nice to look at, and they look a bit familiar too. Itâs as if Iâve seen those eyes somewhere before.â
Tan Rou helped her recall, âDo you remember? Prince Alaka from J country has eyes just like that.â
Now it was Shang Jinâs turn to be shocked, âThis little boy canât really be a Prince, can he? Could he be Alakaâs son?â
âNo, his mother is a princess of the royal family,â Tan Rou said, âBesides, Alaka is not that old, how could he have a son this big?â
Shang Jin also felt her speculation was too far-fetched, so she said, âOh, heâs not Alakaâs son, then never mind.â But as soon as she realized what she said, her eyes widened in surprise again, âWhat? You said his mother is a Princess, so doesnât that make him a little Prince too?â
The son of a Princess, how could he not be a Prince?
âYes,â Tan Rou nodded, âIf what heâs saying is true, then he is a Prince.â
âHey, what is this kid talking about?â Two police officers who couldnât understand Alakaâs language asked Tan Rou, âCan you communicate with him? Then could you translate for us what he just said?â
Tan Rou wasnât fond of their attitude towards the boy just now, so she said with a smile, âI can indeed help you translate, but my translation isnât free. If Iâm going to help you translate, youâll need to give me something in return.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After all, Tan Rou wasnât from this country, and there was no need for her to always do good deeds, especially since the two officersâ behavior was quite appalling. She didnât want to help them translate for free.
The taller police officer glared at her and asked, âWhat kind of benefits do you want?â
Tan Rou patted the shoulder of Alaka, âI just realized, this kid is the child of a friend of mine who went missing. So, I plan to take him with me. Could you tell me what procedures are needed?â
âAh?â The two police officers looked at each other with a guarded expression and said, âYouâre not a child trafficker, are you?â
Tan Rou chuckled and then said, âDo I look like someone who traffics children? I know you donât trust me, so thatâs why Iâm asking you to take me to process the paperwork. I want to take this child away.â
Whether or not Alaka was telling the truth, Tan Rou couldnât possibly leave him here alone. She had to take Alaka back to J country to find his family.
She asked Alaka, âYou say youâre the son of a J country Princess, do you recognize Prince Alaka?â
The little boyâs eyes widened, âYou know Brother Alaka? No, wait, Brother Alaka is a public figure, so itâs normal for you to know him.â
Tan Rou said, âMaybe your Brother Alaka is famous in your country, but in other countries, not many people know him. Let me mention another person, do you know Mr. Lin Yu?â
If Alaka really was from the J country royal family, he would at least have heard the name Lin Yu, and he might even have met Lin Yu.
Upon hearing the name Lin Yu, Alaka had a bigger reaction than when he heard Alakaâs name. He asked excitedly, âAre you friends with Mr.Lin? Is it him who asked you to come find me?â
âWe really are friends with Mr. Lin, but it wasnât he who asked us to come find you,â Tan Rou said honestly, âWe were invited by him to go to J country for a matter. Just happened to pass through here and met you, so we thought we might help you out.â
