ng Chuyue pretended to notice Gu Miao’s backpack unintentionally and, with wide eyes, loudly said to Shen Ci, "How co Xiaoqing’s backpack is here? Let’s go check it out."
The human trafficker had drugged Liang Xiaoqing, dressing her as a peasant woman in colorful clothes and a headscarf. ng Chuyue could only pretend to recognize the backpack but not the person.
The trafficker watching Liang Xiaoqing grew anxious and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? That backpack belongs to my wife."
Pointing at a splotch of black paint Erhu had just added to the backpack under her direction, ng Chuyue retorted, "You’re the one talking nonsense. Backpacks can be identical, but it’s too much of a coincidence for there to be a patch of black paint of the sa shape in the sa place, right? No way, you must be thieves. I’m calling the police."
"You’re the thief. This is clearly my wife’s."
This trafficker wasn’t good with words, and with ng Chuyue’s argunt making more sense, he found himself at a loss for words.
At that mont, a server arrived with several traffic police officers. She was a loud-voiced middle-aged woman who spoke softly and gently when whispering, but when she raised her voice, it was commanding.
She scolded loudly, "What’s all this noise? Don’t you know to look for a server or the police if there’s a problem? Speak up, what exactly happened?"
ng Chuyue glared fiercely at the trafficker, "He stole my friend’s backpack. She’s a thief. My friend has been missing for over half an hour; she must have been searching everywhere for this backpack."
The traffickers, "..."
What’s going on? Didn’t Gu Miao say that Liang Xiaoqing was all alone?
How co she now has a friend sitting across from her?
What are they up to?
Seeing that things were going south, the leader of the traffickers gave a knowing look to the one watching Liang Xiaoqing, who imdiately admitted, "Yes, I’m sorry, I was just tempted by the sight of the backpack unattended, so I took it. Please, just give it back to you, and let go this once."
Being labeled as a thief and returning the stolen goods would result solely in a few days of detention, whereas being exposed as a human trafficker scread a death sentence. Anyone with a brain knew which option to choose.
The traffic police captain seed to accept the trafficker’s excuse, "How we handle this depends on what the owner of the backpack says. For now, co sit in our office. If the owner forgives you, we won’t pursue this further."
With that, he waved his hand, signaling two traffic police to escort the man away.
At this ti, whether it was the traffic police captain, Shen Ci and ng Chuyue, or the other traffic police, they all had their eyes on the other two traffickers.
It wasn’t difficult.
Aside from the person who had been clamorous and yet remained asleep near these two n, they had just exchanged glances with another trafficker.
Pretending to check the backpack, they targeted their suspects, and in a blitzkrieg move, they subdued the other two traffickers.
While the others were tying up the traffickers, ng Chuyue and Shen Ci checked the conditions of the three unconscious individuals.
The traffickers had intended to ransom these three people, and the drug used to sedate them wasn’t very harmful. ng Chuyue gave each one a pill and they soon woke up.
It turned out, only Liang Xiaoqing had been lured on the spot by Gu Miao, while the other two, a woman in her twenties and a six-year-old child, had been brought onto the vehicle.
Liang Xiaoqing was both angry and anxious but above all grateful to ng Chuyue and Shen Ci.
Knowing that they wouldn’t accept a gratitude fee, she insisted on giving them her identity, phone number, and ho address.
She kept asking for ng Chuyue’s contact information and when worried that she wouldn’t get it, she "threatened" laughing, "If you don’t tell , I’ll go to the traffic police."
ng Chuyue had no choice but to give her the contact information for her school.
As for her ho...
Even though she mostly lived at the dicinal Food Hall, sotis she would stay in a courtyard house, and sotis she might stay in another house for a short period. Giving only the school’s address and phone number to Liang Xiaoqing was for her own good.
