Finally, he spotted the small shop in North Point. He then carefully parked his car on the side of the road and walked slowly toward the shop with steady yet slightly hurried steps.
Standing outside the door, through the bright glass window, you can clearly see Elena sitting behind the counter, intently making clothes.
Sunlight bathed her, as if casting a soft halo around her. In a corner of the shop, a delicate, porcelain-doll-like Russian girl was playing happily.
He Yuzhu stood quietly at the door, not immediately going forward to disturb the mother and daughter. He silently watched the scene inside, a feeling of indescribable emotion welling up in his heart.
Over the years, he knew he had caused Elena a lot of suffering. Only today was the first time he had seen his four-year-old daughter in person.
Anna was engrossed in her game world, having a great time.
Suddenly, as if she had noticed something, she abruptly turned her head.
When her clear, watery eyes met He Yuzhu's gaze, she was slightly taken aback, then blinked a few times, tilted her head, and curiously examined the unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar man in front of her.
Seeing this, He Yuzhu slowly stepped into the shop.
He reached out his hands and carefully walked towards Anna, his eyes full of tenderness and expectation.
Anna seemed a little hesitant, but after only a moment, she let down her guard and obediently allowed He Yuzhu to gently pull her into his arms.
The father and daughter stared at each other closely, their reflections etched in each other's eyes.
For a moment, the entire space seemed to fall silent, leaving only the warm and subtle atmosphere between them.
Are you the father?
Finally, Anna broke the silence first.
Her clear and melodious childlike voice entered He Yuzhu's ears like heavenly music.
She stared intently at He Yuzhu, her eyes filled with doubt and a desire for an answer.
He Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat when he heard his daughter's question. He nodded vigorously and said in a slightly hoarse voice:
"Your father has come to see you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Anna's face instantly lit up with a radiant smile.
She excitedly opened her arms and hugged He Yuzhu's neck tightly, then leaned in and kissed his cheek without hesitation.
At that moment, a warm current of happiness flowed through He Yuzhu's heart...
Irina was sitting quietly on the sofa when she suddenly heard a slight noise.
She was startled and abruptly raised her head, her gaze instantly focusing on the strange man in front of her.
The man was holding a little girl tightly in his arms, and this little girl was none other than Irina's precious daughter!
Irina's face changed drastically, her fear evident. She abruptly stood up, her eyes wide, and roared:
"Who are you? Put my daughter down right now!"
However, the man seemed not to hear him, continuing to hold the girl tightly, without even turning his head, and coldly replied, "This is my daughter."
Elena was instantly enraged. She rushed towards the man, shouting angrily:
"What's wrong with you? Let go of my daughter right now!"
He grabbed a pistol from beside him and pointed it at He Yuzhu without hesitation, issuing a stern warning:
"Don't move! Come at me if you have a problem!"
He Yuzhu remained unmoved. He slowly turned around and calmly said:
"Elena, haven't you recognized my voice yet?"
Elena was so anxious that she had no time to distinguish the other person's voice.
But when she heard those words, she couldn't help but pause slightly, and then began to carefully examine the man's face.
At first, her eyes were full of doubt, but in just a moment, that doubt was replaced by endless surprise.
With a sharp "crack," the pistol that Elena was holding tightly slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground with a dull thud.
At the same time, Elena's beautiful eyes were filled with tears of happiness. She covered her face with her hands in disbelief, her lips trembling as she murmured to herself:
“Oh my goodness! How did you get here? Oh… no, I mean…”
A tremendous surprise swept over her like a surging tide, leaving Elena momentarily speechless, unsure how to express her excitement and joy.
He Yuzhu walked over with firm and light steps, his face beaming with a warm, spring-like smile.
He opened his arms and carefully embraced Elena tightly.
At this moment, Elena was already in tears, and the crystal tears rolled down her face like pearls from a broken string.
She sobbed as she kissed He Yuzhu passionately, as if trying to release the pent-up emotions within her heart, as intense as a volcanic eruption.
He Yuzhu gently patted Elena's back, coaxing her softly, using his magnetic and soothing voice to comfort her wounded heart.
Time passed slowly, and after He Yuzhu's long and patient comforting, Elena finally calmed down.
She gently wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes; her slightly reddened eyes still revealed the traces of the intense emotional turmoil she had just experienced.
Then, Elena took He Yuzhu's hand, and the two slowly sat down on the sofa.
After both sides had calmed down a bit, Elena couldn't wait to ask:
"Honey, why did you come all of a sudden? Is there something important?"
He Yuzhu nodded slightly, gazing affectionately at Elena, and said slowly:
"I received a special mission from the country, so I need to come to Hong Kong in person to handle the related matters. Of course, I've also been thinking of taking the opportunity to visit you and your daughter!"
As he spoke, He Yuzhu's gaze unconsciously drifted to the little girl playing nearby.
Elena followed He Yuzhu's gaze, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up, revealing an expression of immense happiness and pride.
She pointed to the adorable little girl and introduced her with great joy:
"Look, five years have passed in the blink of an eye. This little fairy is the fruit of our love—Little Anna!"
Elena's eyes shone with maternal love, like the brightest star in the night sky.
Then she began to praise little Anna at length, saying how smart, obedient, and sensible she was, just like her father's sweet little cotton-padded jacket.
He Yuzhu listened to Elena's praise of her daughter, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.
He looked at little Anna with affection and said softly, "My little princess is getting more and more beautiful!"
Hearing her father's praise, little Anna ran over happily and jumped into He Yuzhu's arms, giggling incessantly. Her clear and melodious laughter echoed throughout the room like heavenly music.
Looking at the warm and joyful scene before him, He Yuzhu felt a sense of satisfaction.
At this moment, he took out a carefully prepared gift from his backpack and handed it to Elena, asking with concern:
"Darling, how have you been all these years here?"
Elena accepted the gift, gratefully kissed He Yuzhu's cheek, and replied with a smile:
"Everything is fine. When we first arrived here, we felt completely unfamiliar with the place, but thankfully we bought this shop and are able to make a living and support our family of three by running it!"
The two sat on the sofa, chatting casually, and before they knew it, quite a while had passed.
At this moment, He Yuzhu seemed to suddenly remember something important, and asked with a frown:
"Oh, right, I haven't asked about our father-in-law, Daniel, yet. Elena, how's your dad doing? Where is he?"
Upon hearing this, Elena's smiling face instantly darkened. She sighed softly and said in a slightly trembling voice:
“My father… well, he’s not doing well.”
He Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat; a bad premonition washed over him, and he quickly asked:
"What exactly happened? Tell me clearly!"
Elena took a deep breath and slowly began to speak:
“My father’s leg was broken and he can only stay at home to recover.”
"What?" He Yuzhu's eyes widened, his face filled with shock and anger.
"How could this happen? Who did this?"
Elena bit her lip and continued:
"This is a complicated story. A few years ago, things were relatively peaceful here, and we were able to get by."
But recently, a new boss suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He somehow found out that I can speak Russian, so he came up with some crooked idea and wanted me to do things for him. He also kept harassing me with dirty and inappropriate things.
My father was so angry that he argued with them, and those bastards actually started hitting him, breaking his leg.
"These beasts have gone too far!" He Yuzhu slammed his fist on the table in anger, roaring furiously.
"Damn it! How dare they be so lawless!"
At this moment, He Yuzhu was filled with anger. He knew that in this chaotic Hong Kong, most of the tyrannical gangsters and so-called police officers were not good people.
It is indeed incredibly difficult for ordinary people to live a peaceful and stable life here.
The thought that someone dared to threaten his beloved woman and child made him secretly vow to make these guys pay a heavy price and never let them off easily.

With a loud bang, the door that was tightly closed was suddenly kicked open!
