Zhang Han placed Mengmeng behind him, his body tense. «You’ve got the wrong person,» he said calmly. The man smirked. «Don’t play dumb. We’ve been searching for you. The realms haven’t forgotten, and neither have I.»

Zhang Han picked up Mengmeng, who clung to him tightly, her tears soaking his shirt. «It’s okay,» he whispered, kissing her forehead. «Daddy’s here.
