Serve as Contrast Team in a ‘Dad with Baby’ Show

Chapter 24,Part 1: — Reason for the Incident

The man who spoke was dressed in black, with a fleshy face, a fierce look, and an unpleasant smell of alcohol on his body.

Lin Momo wanted to run, but the man grabbed her arm tightly.

The man spat and said with a sinister smile, “You little bastard, you still want to run away.”

In the next second, Lin Momo was dragged out from behind the light post and pulled towards a certain shop in the vegetable market.

Lin Momo bit her lower lip, trying to break free from her captor, but the difference in strength between the two was simply too great; Lin Momo was no match for a man at all.

The man kept cursing as he dragged Lin Momo, “Damn, you were lucky last time, but this time I bumped into you and you can’t get away…”

The cameraman who was filming Lin Momo was standing at a distance of about seven or eight meters away from the two. He looked on in a daze, stunned—the incident happened so suddenly! He didn’t even know what was going on now, and he didn’t dare to act rashly on his own.

On the other side, Lin Momo was about to cry, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t get rid of him.

Fortunately, at this moment, Lin Cheng heard the commotion happening not far behind him.

Seeing Lin Momo being forcibly dragged away by an unknown man, Lin Cheng roared and walked quickly towards the two of them.

“What’s going on?” Lin Cheng asked coldly.

Seeing someone approaching, the man in black was stunned for a moment, but in the next second he showed an arrogant expression.

“What’s going on, you ask? I’m doing my own business, it’s none of your concern!” The man cursed, then threatened Lin Cheng, “Don’t meddle in my business.”

Hearing this, Lin Cheng snorted coldly, “You drag my child away, and it’s none of my business?”

Lin Cheng glanced at the man’s hand still on Lin Momo’s arm, and his eyes became colder.

“Let go.”

The man’s heart was startled by Lin Cheng’s suddenly cold tone and aura, his hands trembled, and he instinctively let go of Lin Momo’s arm.

Lin Momo, who had regained her freedom, quickly ran to hide behind Lin Cheng.

From the small hand that clutched tightly at the back of Lin Cheng’s clothes, it could be clearly seen that Lin Momo was terrified and uneasy.

The man in black looked cautiously at Lin Cheng, then at Lin Momo behind him, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

“You said this is your child? Are you the adult of her family?” The man pointed at Lin Momo in surprise. He shook his head and said, “This is impossible.”

“There is nothing impossible about it.” Lin Cheng looked at the man with dangerous eyes and asked, “You! What do you want to do to my child?”

Facing Lin Cheng, the man felt a little scared. He had seen many people of all kinds and judging from his experience, this person in front of him was definitely not someone easy to mess with.

“It’s nothing, only look at this little bitch… The child is sneaky, and she doesn’t know how to act properly, so educate her in advance. Since you are an adult, you’d better take care of your own child. If she does something unclean, I won’t be polite to her.”

The man spoke reluctantly, casting Lin Momo a begrudging glance, then left with an embarrassed air around him.

Seeing the man leave, Lin Cheng squinted his eyes: the way the man looked at Lin Momo just now, and his attitude towards her didn’t seem so simple.

Lin Cheng looked inquiringly at the cameraman following them, wanting to know from the other party what happened during the few minutes when he was not there just now.

But the cameraman just shook his head, expressing with embarrassment that he didn’t know what happened.

“That person just now seemed to be drunk,” the cameraman whispered.

So, the whole thing was probably just an accident?

Lin Cheng didn’t think so.

Although he hadn’t known Lin Momo for a long time, he had an unexpected understanding of the kid’s temperament.

Lin Momo right now was not okay.

If it was just an ordinary encounter with an unknown drunk, Lin Momo shouldn’t be so scared.

Sensing the girl’s fear, Lin Cheng’s heart tensed up.

Lin Cheng gave the cameraman a ‘don’t follow us’ look, and led Lin Momo to a small alley next to the vegetable market.

Seeing the figures of the father and daughter disappear from the livestream, everyone in the livestream channel became nervous:

[What’s going on, what happened?]

[Didn’t the camera guy just say that they met a drunk person.]

[Lin Momo was probably frightened. Dad took her to a quiet place now to comfort her.]

[It must be so, I saw Momo’s face turn pale with fright.]

[Such a young child will definitely be scared when encountering such a situation, and this might leave a psychological shadow.]

[Although… why not let the cameraman follow?]

[At this time, it would be too cruel to let a lot of people from the program group follow.]

[That is, although I also want to know the current situation, the most important thing now is to let the child calm down.]

… …

While the audience in the livestream channel were discussing matters, Lin Cheng had already led Lin Momo into the alley.

The alley was quiet all over, and the space on both sides was relatively small, which also made Lin Momo feel a sense of security.

Lin Cheng turned off the recording equipment clipped on the two of them.

He knelt down, looked at Lin Momo, and asked, “What happened just now?”

Facing Lin Cheng’s question, Lin Momo’s shoulders trembled. She bit her lip and shook her head, not saying a word.

“You don’t want to say?” Lin Cheng asked again.

The girl still bowed her head and did not speak.

Facing Lin Momo’s rare stubbornness, Lin Cheng had a headache, but he still asked her patiently, “Have you seen that person before?”

Although it was a question, Lin Cheng’s tone held certainty.

“No…” Lin Momo began but could only finished half of her words.

Facing Lin Cheng’s serious eyes, Lin Momo finally nodded.

In the next second, pea-sized tears fell from Lin Momo’s eyes going ‘plop plop’. Her wronged look full of grievance made people feel distressed.

It was also the first time Lin Cheng saw Lin Momo crying like this, and he felt a little at a loss.

“If you have something to say, don’t be afraid,” Lin Cheng said to Lin Momo in a gentle tone.

In the end, while sobbing, Lin Momo explained the reason for the whole incident.

T/N: I… forgot about the camera guy. Maybe that’s why Lin Cheng seemed comfortable leaving Lin Momo to stand by herself in a crowded market.
