ou" Summer recognized the person on the ground right away; it was precisely Mei Er who had angered him a few days ago.Mei Er lay on the ground with no reaction whatsoever."Did you know I wanted to hit...Chapter 1238: They Are Really Human Traffickers
"It's me, it's me!" The girl from the young couple immediately raised her hand and pointed with her finger. "They are the ones! I suspect they are trafficking children!"
The direction the young girl was pointing at wasn’t Xia Jia and Gu Hanchuang; instead, it was another family of three: a pair of thirty-something-year-old couple along with their four or five-year-old daughter.
The tall police conductor glanced at that family of three before asking, "Do you have any evidence"
"They were sitting next to us. I was watching them the whole time! That little girl has been crying all along and never called them ‘Mom’ or ‘Dad.’ Clearly, they’re not close; they’re also very unsupportive towards her. There’s no way they are related!" The young girl stated confidently.
The girl's boyfriend chimed in: "That's right. I can be a witness too. I think there's an eighty percent chance that these people are trafficking children. Officers, please save the little girl quickly!"
By now, the couple had finally realized what was happening and the wife became furious. She pointed at the young girl with trembling voice: "You—you're slandering us! When did we ever traffic any child This is my daughter BeiBei."
"It's true just because you say so Prove it then; I don’t see how you could be her mother!" The young girl didn't back down.
"What proof do you need She’s my daughter. What more evidence can there possibly be" The wife was trembling with anger, as she had been feeling off since the start and now this event made it even worse for her emotionally.
"Of course we need evidence! Otherwise, how do we know if she's your real daughter or not She hasn't even called you 'Mom' once. Why don't you ask her to call you Mom and see" The young girl snorted, "I saw news reports; impersonating parents is a common tactic used by human traffickers nowadays!"
"I won’t argue with you!" the wife was clearly very angry but couldn't make her daughter call her 'Mom'. Her face turned quite ugly.
"Officer, my wife and I work in Beijing. Our daughter stayed in our hometown with her grandmother while we were away. We rarely saw each other, so she's somewhat unfamiliar with us. This time when we came back for something important, we found out that she doesn’t even recognize us or call us Dad and Mom. That’s why we decided to bring her along with us to Beijing to live." The husband politely explained the situation to the conductor, "She really is our daughter; we forgot to bring our household registration book but if you don't believe us, you can give a call to the local police station, they will verify it."
"Let me see your IDs. I'll have the police station check them." The tall conductor thought for a moment and suggested, he felt that their explanation was quite reasonable. Everyone knows how children left behind in rural areas become unfamiliar with their parents over time.
The couple readily cooperated and handed over their ID cards to the conductor who started making calls to verify information on the police station’s database.
After a few minutes, the tall conductor received a photo. After comparing it to the little girl named BeiBei, he confirmed that they matched after a few more minutes. Then he told them, "It's been verified; she is indeed your daughter. Please take better care of her in future so such misunderstandings don’t happen again."
"Thank you, officer," said the couple gratefully.
The tall conductor turned to the young couple: "The matter has been clarified, please refrain from posting unverified information on Weibo. It can harm others."
"We were only thinking of that little girl. What if they really are child traffickers" The girl was not convinced and felt she had done nothing wrong.
"Miss, while you're concerned about the child's welfare, you shouldn't accuse others without evidence," said the short policeman who had been silent until now with a hint of displeasure. "Also, if they were trafficking children, they wouldn’t bring them to the dining car. That’s common sense; no human trafficker would act so brazenly."
"Officer, I’m not a police officer, and you can't expect me to do your job," retorted the girl somewhat unhappily. "I am merely fulfilling my duty as a good citizen. If you’re not going to reward me for it, then at least don’t speak like that. Who would dare report criminals in the future"
"Miss, we welcome your reports but do not want false accusations," replied the short policeman, who seemed rather irritable himself. "If someone falsely accuses you of being a trafficker, how would you feel then"
The short policeman had barely finished his sentence when suddenly another voice was heard: "Actually, they are human traffickers."
Upon hearing this statement, several pairs of eyes in the dining car turned to look, all focusing on Xia Tian because it was none other than her who had been quietly observing the scene earlier.
"What nonsense are you talking" The young girl immediately became annoyed.
The short policeman also frowned slightly: "Do you have any evidence for that claim"
"Of course I have evidence." Xia Tian spoke with utmost seriousness. "There are several trafficked children in compartment number 8 of the soft-sleeper car. If you don’t believe me, go and check right away. Oh yes, those two over there are part of their gang."
"Lies! I wasn't even in the soft-sleeper car!" The girl angrily rebutted.
Summer ignored the girl and instead said to the conductor, "You'd better go check it out. Several kids inside have been drugged and are asleep right now. Once you catch those people in there, take these two away as well."
"I'll go first and take a look," the shorter policeman whispered to his taller colleague before quickly heading towards the soft-sleeper carriage.
At this moment, the girl glared angrily at Summer, "Who are you What仇字在這裡可能是個輸入錯誤,應該是“我們跟你有仇嗎?”: "What grudge do we have against you Why would you frame us" She suddenly shouted before Summer could respond. "I remember who you are! You were the one beating people up on Shu Capital Square yesterday, and there was a woman with you wearing Taoist robes carrying swords. I think it's you guys who should be considered fugitives!"
"Idiot," Summer said indifferently.
The taller policeman scrutinized Summer carefully before stepping out of the dining car to make a phone call.
After a few minutes, both conductors returned and stood in front of the young couple with stern expressions. "You two need to come with us."
"Why" The girl was surprised and began to panic. "This is an unlawful arrest! He's the fugitive, not me... You should be arresting him..."
Unfortunately, her protests were in vain; the conductors treated Summer as if he didn't exist and soon led both the girl and her boyfriend away.
"Young Master, are those two really human traffickers" Gu Hanshuang couldn't help but ask at this point.
"Not exactly," Summer laughed and shook her head. "But there really are human traffickers in booth number eight."
"Then why did you say they were the ones trafficking humans" Gu Hanchuang was somewhat puzzled.
"They're just passing time by falsely accusing others, and I'm bored too, so why not accuse them for a bit" Summer said lazily.
Gu Hanchuang was momentarily speechless; it turned out that all the commotion was because this young master found everything boring.
A little later, she couldn't help but ask again, "But won't they actually be treated as human traffickers and arrested"
"Probably not, but they'll definitely get interrogated by the police for a few hours." Summer laughed brightly. She then wrapped her arm around Gu Hanchuang and stood up. "Frostie, let's forget about them and do something more fun!"
After eating their fill and drinking enough, it was necessary to move around. Summer and Gu Hanchuang quickly returned to their booth, closed the door, and began a slow yet sometimes rapid movement on the rapidly moving train.
This night, the two of them held their own wild party on the train, which they found endlessly entertaining. For both Summer and Gu Hanchuang, it was an unprecedentedly special experience that made Summer start considering taking trains for any future long-distance trips.
At three in the afternoon the next day, Summer pulled Gu Hanchuang out of the Beijing Railway Station.
"Cousin-in-law, over here!" As soon as Xia Tian left the train station, he heard a somewhat familiar voice.
“Why is it you” Xia Tian was slightly puzzled. The one calling him turned out to be Zhao Xiaozhuo, and accompanying Zhao Xiaozhuo was also a girl who wasn't unfamiliar to Xia Tian—Qin Xiao Luo, the so-called beauty of Renmin University Affiliated High School.
“Cousin-in-law, I specially came here to pick you up!” Zhao Xiaozhuo had an eager expression. "Come on, come on, get in the car quickly, my sister is waiting for you."
“Alright.” Xia Tian hadn't expected someone to be sent to pick him up, but since Zhao Xiaozhuo was here, he didn't mind going back by car.
Xia Tian and Gu Hanchuang quickly got into Zhao Xiaozhuo's Hummer. Then Xia Tian asked, "Is the big demoness really waiting for me"
“Cousin-in-law, do I look like a liar to you” Zhao Xiaozhuo looked at Xia Tian.
Xia Tian looked at Zhao Xiaozhuo and nodded his head. “You look very much like a liar, but if you're lying to me now, I'll beat you up later.”
Zhao Xiaozhuo immediately fell into depression and didn't say anything further; he quickly started the car and headed out of the train station.
Thirty minutes later, the Hummer stopped at the entrance to Demoness Retreat. Zhao Xiaozhuo opened the door for Xia Tian with great enthusiasm as usual. After Xia Tian got out of the car, Zhao Xiaozhuo spoke up again: "Cousin-in-law, can you tell Tiao Tiao to let Xiao Luo and me come in too"strict office," said Mu Han as she promptly fell asleep atop Xiatian.Xiatian also quickly drifted off. Then, at some point later, he woke up—this time due to a phone call."Who's this" mumbled Xiatian...
