Almost two months after Xiao Man started school in Beijing, she returned to the Tang family home on a Saturday afternoon. Her grandparents told her that Tang Qingyun had called the previous night to say that Mo Jiabao's missing son, Mo Dazhi, had been found!
Just as Xiao Man had guessed, the boy had indeed been captured by a gang and trained to be a pickpocket. However, he was very clever. On his first time being sent out to steal, he intentionally got himself caught by plainclothes anti-pickpocketing police. Upon questioning, they discovered his situation matched the description of a child their superiors had issued an urgent search for. A report was filed, and the Wancheng authorities immediately sent people to escort Grandpa Mo and Mo Jiabao over. Father and son were reunited, and they had now returned to Gongdao Village.
