The client, Huo Ning, had a happy life in the twelve years of her life, with a wealthy family and no worries about food and clothing. She also had a younger brother, Huo Jin, who was seven years younger than her, and her parents loved them very much.
But all happiness was ruined by an unexpected mistake.
While Huo Ning was playing in the park with his younger brother Huo Jin, the mother she accompanied him left for a while because of something, so that Huo Ning would like to take good care of her younger brother. She was attracted by the colorful marshmallows made by a small vendor not far away, and let go of her younger brother. When she turned around and came back with two marshmallows, her younger brother Huo Jin, who was originally playing on a seesaw, was gone.
Huo Ning's parents called the police and searched for half a month in a crazy manner, but found nothing.
Police said that the child is likely to be abducted from the province by human traffickers and it is difficult to track down.
Even though it was almost impossible, Huo Ning's parents did not give up. Huo's father was a university teacher. Whenever there was no class, he would run around with his wife to find his lost young son. Huo's mother simply sold her own clothing store to raise money.
Over the years, Huo's father and mother have tried every means to publish a reward for searching people in newspapers and ask people everywhere. When they hear that there are traffickers and where the public security bureau finds the lost children, they will immediately drive there.
Huo Ning knew that he had lost his younger brother, so he was always very guilty. Huo’s father and mother did not take his anger on Huo Ning, and comforted her that her parents would definitely find Xiao Jin back.
Parents always want to be a shelter for their children from the wind and rain, and do not want them to be exposed to the sinister outside when they are young and bear too much pressure.
Huo’s father and mother were the same. No matter how hard they were, they didn’t say a word to Huo Ning, and they wouldn’t tell her what Huo Jin might encounter after being abducted.
But when Huo Ning grew up, the more he knew, the more regretful he felt.
All the similar news on newspapers and TV scared her. Her young brother Huo Jin might have been sold to someone she didn't know at all, maybe she had a hard time with human traffickers, or maybe she was no longer in the world.
When Huo Ning was in his sophomore year, Huo’s father and mother learned that the police in a county town in South China Province cracked a major trafficking case, where there were more than a dozen abducted children, including a boy with a certain age and appearance characteristics, which was very likely the lost child of the Huo family.
Huo’s father and mother encountered a car accident on the mountain road outside the county town.
The truck driver who caused the accident was tired of driving, and at night, there were few lights installed on the road outside the mountain.
Huo Ning took back his parents' ashes and went to the local public security bureau he had contacted, but the boy was not Huo Jin.
Huo Ning's wish is to find her younger brother Huo Jin and atone for her mistakes back then.

The time when Xiao Han wore it was already Huo Ning's junior year. She had not yet come out of the sadness of her parents' death, nor had she given up looking for her younger brother Huo Jin. She continued to work hard for it as if she had taken over the burden from her parents' hands.
The house is an ordinary one bedroom and one living room. In fact, Huo’s father and mother also left a lot of savings for their daughter. They had no requirements for Huo Ning, and they only asked her to study hard, did not let her participate in the search for Huo Jin, and did not want Huo Jin to be abducted to become an eternal burden in her life.
But Huo Ning has always felt a heavy sense of guilt, especially after her parents died unexpectedly on the way to find her younger brother, she couldn't live happily alone and as if nothing had happened.
So she ignored the persuasion of relatives and friends and sold the big house she left for her parents and replaced it with the single apartment she lives in now, leaving most of the money she sold was for her brother.
There is a desk beside the bed, with a original computer and a thick stack of notebooks.
These notebooks are relics left by their original parents, and Huo Ning kept them all in good condition. Xiao Han opened the notebook and found the notes of Huo’s father and mother, remembering the traces they had been looking for over the years. Every stroke was in hope and disappointment, and there were many contact information of the local public security bureaus they had been to.
They have always been actively in touch with the police and enter new file information every year, so that it is convenient that Huo Jin's child may appear, the police can contact them as soon as possible.
Xiao Han opened his original computer and had several specialized search stations and chat group forums, which were also found by Huo Ning in his parents' notes.
Like Huo Ning's parents, there are many parents who have not given up looking for lost children.
Xiao Han sighed. If there is spiritual energy in this world to cultivate, it is not difficult to find Huo Ning's younger brother Huo Jin. Even if he is really no longer alive, Xiao Han has a way to find bones and the human traffickers who abducted Huo Jin.
Now, it is undoubtedly difficult.
There are more than 30 provinces in China and more than one billion people. Huo’s father and mother have been searching for several years. No matter how hard they try, they cannot find all over China. Continuing to rely on this method is like finding a needle in a haystack, all depends on luck. Huo’s father and mother were helpless because there was no other way except this dead method.
9526 said worriedly, "Host, what should I do?"
Xiao Han pursed his lips, "You can always find a way."
While Xiao Han was thinking about how to fulfill the client's wish, he suddenly heard the ringtone of his cell phone ringing.
