After Lu Zhenping finished speaking, a group of people imdiately got out of the military vehicle and surrounded everyone at the eting. Among these people, so were innocent, so pretended to be confused, and so were the vanguards who took the lead. In any case, the interrogation would not be short, and these were internal affairs that Lu Zhenping did not intend to ddle with.
"Comrade Fan Hui, there’s still a lot to deal with afterward. Please quickly dispatch soone to interrogate the detained won and children as soon as possible. Do not let a single criminal slip by, but also do not wrongfully accuse any innocent person. It’s best to find so experienced female police to go undercover and get a clear picture of those people’s backgrounds."
"Yes."
After Fan Hui left, Wei Dong, sowhat puzzled, asked, "Captain Lu, what’s this for? Did you not see how pitiful the rescued female comrades and so children were? The boys are sowhat okay, but the girls are so skinny, their arms are as thin as mantis limbs, so of the female comrades are tortured to the point of madness, and there are so who tremble with fear upon seeing people. I, I just really feel like beating those doggone human traffickers to death."
"Control your emotions, Wei Dong. You must understand this is just one den. To follow this clue further, we need more information. I know those female comrades and children are pitiful, but haven’t you thought about it, among these people could there not be a female trafficker, or even so children involved..."
"Captain!"
Lu Zhenping hadn’t had much sleep for the past day and night. He slightly tilted his neck and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. As soon as he put one in his mouth, Wei Dong had already lit a match for him.
"Captain, I’m not questioning your judgnt. It’s just that you haven’t seen those people with your own eyes. If you had, you would be shocked too and wish you could strangle those scumbags personally."
"Hu~ But what if among those pitiful people there are traffickers in disguise, Wei Dong? Trust the capability of the public security organs. They have been combating trafficking for so long and have experienced police who can interrogate and unmask the wicked wolves in sheep’s clothing."
Wei Dong glared with fierce eyes, "Them?"
Lu Zhenping couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to him; what industry doesn’t have a few bad apples? But that doesn’t an you should question the entire industry because of one.
When he left ho, his wife, worried that he was too naive from being in the military, enlightened him about various thods of abducting won and children. He asked her curiously how she knew about this, and she said that she learned it from the opera performances during the local fairs.
Puffing on a cigarette, Lu Zhenping’s mind was filled with the vivid scenes his wife had described. Listening to her, he felt strangely that his wife seed more experienced than the traffickers; perhaps she could even outsmart a trafficker.
After finishing the cigarette, without even eating breakfast, he hurried to et up with the public security comrades handling the current case and attend the eting.
....
Shen ng had prepared a lot of food this ti. Taking advantage of the lunch break, she went to the county hospital and just happened to stop by to bring Cheng so pastries. These were ant to be produced by the Shen Family collective later.
Cheng Yufen hadn’t seen Shen ng for a long ti and was thrilled. She insisted on taking her to the cafeteria for a al.
"Xiao ng, ever since you started working, you’ve been so busy. I haven’t seen you for such a long ti. Co on, co with to the cafeteria. Sister will treat you to a al. Today’s lunch nu at the cafeteria includes atballs, and Shirley is the cook—the flavor is delicious. Wow, ever since she ca, we hospital employees have been blessed with good food."
"What? Shirley is now working as a chef?"
Cheng Yufen covered her mouth with a chuckle and said: "No, what happened was one day our cafeteria’s chef was cooking, and suddenly felt unwell, and was imdiately taken to the ergency room. When she finished chopping the vegetables and brought them to the kitchen, she saw that the stove was still on, so she just went ahead and finished cooking. Unexpectedly, that day everyone thought the food was delicious, which led to our head chef wanting to learn so secret techniques from Shirley!"
"That’s really great."
The sisters chatted excitedly and headed towards the cafeteria together. Actually, the food at the cafeteria was pretty good too—it’s just that the staff had to pay for it. However, the hospital staff received subsidies and the special dishes usually served in the company were what the hospital leaders used to entertain guests. So generally speaking, the prices were quite affordable.
When they got to the cafeteria, Shen ng saw a man standing at the window where Shirley was serving food—it was that sa man from last ti, the one whose gaze at Shirley seed almost velvety.
"Hey, isn’t that sothing? The head of our orthopedics departnt coming to the cafeteria to eat,"
"He is?"
Cheng Yufen snickered, as if suddenly energized.
"He is the head of our orthopedics departnt, nad Qian Chengwang. He has great dical skills, is a decent person... Hey, why do I feel like his gaze toward Shirley is sowhat off? Could it be... does he have feelings for Shirley?"
Cheng Yufen watched the two in disbelief, while Shen ng quickly pulled her aside. Her voice was loud; they were almost discovered.
"Sister Cheng, calm down a little, would you? We almost got spotted just now."
"Whoa, I just got excited, you know. I’ve been colleagues with Old Qian for so many years, and I’ve never seen him so close to anyone else. That look in his eyes, even at my age, makes feel embarrassed."
Shen ng: "...."
Don’t just focus on feeling embarrassed and savoring the mont; tell too, so I can have a taste—if this ’sugar’ is good for the stomach, huh???
"Sister Cheng, you know Shirley’s situation. She’s already suffered a lot in the past. This Dr. Qian, is he reliable? If he’s not reliable, I won’t let him get close to Shirley."
"Reliable, for sure. I’ve known Dr. Qian for more than a decade now, and everyone at our hospital knows what he’s like. His ho is that small courtyard behind the hospital. He’s hardworking, responsible to patients, and is a very ethical doctor with a good temperant. He’s almost faultless except for loving to read books too much. He was engaged in his younger years, but that girl had a frail fate; once, when she went out, she kindly saved soone from drowning. Unfortunately, after recovering, that person stepped on her to get onto the shore and ran away. Dr. Qian’s family and the girl’s betrothed reported it to the police. At that ti, he was about to transition from an intern to a regular staff mber, and many people advised him not to make a fuss. But he insisted on vindicating the deceased, that a good person should not die in vain and grow discouraged. Ah, he is so stubborn."
Shen ng felt moved as well after hearing this. It seed Dr. Qian was indeed a good person, but she just thought about it. After all, in Cheng Yufen’s eyes, there were hardly any bad people. If Shirley also had feelings for Dr. Qian, she wouldn’t mind helping out by gathering more information. After all, Shirley was still raising two little girls, and who knows what Dr. Qian’s family might think.
