Chapter 637 Thank you for speaking up for justice today
"Thank you, sister." Liu Neng raised his head and looked at the girl who had just spoken for him and said gratefully.

"You're welcome. This is what I should do." The girl smiled, revealing two sweet dimples.

"What's your name?" Lin Ke asked.

"My name is Li Xiaoxiao." the girl replied.

"Li Xiaoxiao, thank you for speaking up for justice today." Lin Ke said sincerely, "If it weren't for you, we don't know how long we would have been deceived by this old man."

"You are such a good child." Zhao Wenyue on the side couldn't help but praise.

Li Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed by the praise, she blushed and lowered her head.

"Young man, I'm so sorry, we wronged you." A middle-aged man spoke first with a guilty look on his face.

"Yes, young man, we misunderstood you just now, don't take it to heart." An old lady also said, her tone full of apology.

"We were also deceived by that old man. We didn't expect he was such a person." Another young man also stood up and said.

The people around echoed and apologized to Lin Ke for their reckless behavior just now.

Lin Ke looked at the people in front of him who were apologizing sincerely, and he did not have much resentment in his heart.

He knew that these people were just deceived by appearances and did not really want to hurt him.

"It's okay, I understand." Lin Ke smiled faintly and said in a gentle tone.

"Young man, you are such a good person." An old lady said with emotion, "If it were us, we would have been angry a long time ago after being misunderstood like this."

"Yes, young man, you are very magnanimous." Another middle-aged man followed suit.

Lin Ke smiled and said nothing.

He just did what he was supposed to do and didn't need anyone's praise.

"Okay, the matter has been resolved, everyone can go home." Lin Ke said to the crowd around him.

The crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only Lin Ke, Zhao Wenyue, Liu Neng and Li Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, we don't know how long we would have been deceived by that old man." Lin Ke said to Li Xiaoxiao gratefully.

"You're welcome. I just did what I should do." Li Xiaoxiao said modestly.

"You are such a good child." Zhao Wenyue couldn't help but praise again.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's send Liu Neng home first." Lin Ke said.

"Yeah." Zhao Wenyue and Li Xiaoxiao nodded.

Lin Ke held Liu Neng's hand and left the station with Zhao Wenyue and Li Xiaoxiao.

Along the way, Liu Neng kept his head down and said nothing.

Lin Ke knew that what happened just now was a big blow to him.

"Liu Neng, are you okay?" Lin Ke asked softly.

Liu Neng raised his head and looked at Lin Ke with red eyes.

Liu Neng bit his lip, tears welling up in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall.

He looked at Lin Ke timidly, then quickly lowered his head and tightly grasped the corner of Lin Ke's clothes, his hands trembling slightly because of the force. Lin Ke's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and he felt Liu Neng's uneasiness and fear.

"Liu Neng, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Ke squatted down, tried to look Liu Neng in the eye, and asked in a gentle tone.

Liu Neng shook his head but still didn't say anything. He just grabbed the corner of Lin Ke's clothes even harder, as if that was his only support.

"Are you scared by what happened just now?" Zhao Wenyue asked with concern. She walked up to Liu Neng and tried to comfort him with a gentle look.

Liu Neng still didn't say anything, but just buried his head even lower, his body trembling slightly like a frightened deer.

Li Xiaoxiao felt distressed when she saw Liu Neng's expression. She took out a piece of candy from her pocket and handed it to Liu Neng, "Liu Neng, do you want some candy? This is strawberry flavored and very delicious."

However, Liu Neng did not reach out to take it. He just looked at Li Xiaoxiao timidly, then quickly lowered his head and curled himself up into a ball, as if this could isolate him from all harm from the outside world.

"Liu Neng seems reluctant to interact with strangers." Li Xiaoxiao said to Lin Ke and Zhao Wenyue with some concern.

"He has a psychological trauma and needs to be guided slowly." Zhao Wenyue said softly, "Lin Ke, where's your phone? Call Liu Neng's grandfather and ask him how he usually communicates with Liu Neng."

Lin Ke understood immediately. He took out his cell phone from his pocket, found Liu Bo's phone number and dialed it.

The call was connected, and Uncle Liu's anxious voice came from the other end of the line, "Hello, is this Mr. Lin? Has Liu been found?"

"Uncle Liu, Liu Neng has been found. He is with us now and is safe." Lin Ke comforted.

"That's good, that's good. Thank you so much, Mr. Lin. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do." Uncle Liu's voice was full of gratitude.

"Uncle Liu, don't worry. Liu Neng is a little emotionally unstable right now. Do you think it would be convenient for you to come and pick him up?" Lin Ke asked.

"I, I can't leave here, I still have to take care of the business in the store..." Uncle Liu's voice sounded a little embarrassed.

"Uncle Liu, how about this? Give me the address and I will drive Liu Neng back." Lin Ke said.

"Thank you so much for your help, Mr. Lin. You are such a great benefactor to us!" Uncle Liu said with tears of gratitude.

Lin Ke hung up the phone, told Zhao Wenyue the address, and then said to Liu Neng: "Liu Neng, can we take you home now?"

Liu Neng raised his head, looked at Lin Ke, then at Zhao Wenyue, and finally set his gaze on Li Xiaoxiao, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

"Liu Neng, this sister is Li Xiaoxiao. She is your brother's friend. She likes small animals just like you. You can play together." Lin Ke pointed at Li Xiaoxiao and said to Liu Neng.

Li Xiaoxiao also squatted down and showed Liu Neng a friendly smile, "Liu Neng, hello, my name is Li Xiaoxiao, you can just call me Sister Xiaoxiao, what do you like to play?"

Liu Neng looked at Li Xiaoxiao's smile and seemed to relax a little. He whispered, "I like... drawing..."

"Wow, painting? That's great. I like painting too. I can also draw little rabbits. Can you?" Li Xiaoxiao said excitedly.

Liu Neng nodded, a gleam in his eyes.

"How about we draw together?" Li Xiaoxiao suggested.

Liu Neng looked at Lin Ke, and when he saw Lin Ke nodded, he nodded slightly.

"Okay, then let's send Liu Neng home first, and then we can paint together." Lin Ke said.

Li Xiaoxiao nodded happily. She took Liu Neng's hand and said, "Liu Neng, let's go."

Liu Neng looked at Li Xiaoxiao, then at Lin Ke, and finally did not refuse. He let Li Xiaoxiao hold his hand and followed Lin Ke and Zhao Wenyue to the parking lot.
