Chapter 403: Four hundred and two, human trafficker
Luo Shu and Wang Fei had finished eating and were chatting when the train arrived at the station.
The woman sitting opposite them who was holding a child stood up, holding the child in one arm while reaching for her luggage on the overhead rack with the other hand.
"Let me hold the child for you, big sister—I don’t have much luggage anyway," the woman in the floral shirt said with a smile, stretching out her hand.
"Thank you so much, big sister!" The child’s mother handed her child over to the woman. They had gotten acquainted on the journey, and seeing how enthusiastic the other woman was, she certainly seemed to be a good person.
"It’s no trouble at all! Your child is so adorable—I really like him a lot," the woman in the floral shirt said, smiling.
"Big sister, you’re so kind-hearted!" The child’s mother secured her own luggage and, chatting with the woman in the floral shirt, walked off the train.
Luo Shu and Wang Fei also picked up their luggage and disembarked.
"Luo Shu, I’m going to use the restroom; wait for me a moment," said Wang Fei, feeling the urgency of needing to pee, pointing to a nearby restroom.
"Sure!" Luo Shu nodded with a smile, carrying his luggage to one side.
In no time, Wang Fei emerged from the restroom, wiping the moisture from her hands with a handkerchief and reaching for her luggage, "Zhang Qi and the others must be getting anxious; let’s go." They had set off yesterday and must have already arrived at Meng Yujuan’s home.
As they left the train station, they saw a crowd gathered not far off, with crying sounds emanating from within.
"I wonder what happened; let’s go check it out," said Wang Fei, pulling Luo Shu eagerly toward the crowd.
Within the crowd, the woman who had been holding her child earlier was now sitting on the ground, weeping and clinging to the legs of the woman in the floral shirt, "Big sister, please, give me back my child, please! I’m begging you; I’m down on my knees..."
"Big sister, this is my child. Even if you beg me, I can’t give him to you. You were just trying to trick me out of my child. Considering you’re a woman too, I didn’t want to make it a big deal, but instead, you resorted to trying to snatch him," the woman in the floral shirt said, clutching the child in her arms protectively, as if afraid he could be snatched away at any moment.
"This is my mom’s child; you can’t steal my brother," a little girl about seven or eight years old stepped forward, wrapping her arms around the waist of the woman in the floral shirt and the legs of the child in her arms.
"This woman is shameless; when she couldn’t abduct the child, she resorted to snatching."
"The child definitely wouldn’t lie; this woman must be a trafficker."
"They’re cracking down on this right now; let’s report her and get her arrested."
"Right! The world’s better off with one less person like her," a few of the woman in the floral shirt’s accomplices stirred up the crowd with their words, causing everyone to start accusing the woman on the ground.
"No! That’s my child! Don’t believe her; he really is my child... please help me, ask her to give back my child." The woman began to kowtow on the ground as she spoke.
"That’s just despicable!" Wang Fei, unable to contain herself any longer, pushed her way into the crowd and pointed at the woman on the ground, "I can prove that the child is hers; I was sitting opposite her on the train."
"Young lady, you must be her accomplice, right? Stop acting; you might as well go home. Otherwise, we will really call the public security officers."
"It’s a serious crackdown right now. Behavior like yours is going to get you arrested and sentenced."
"See how the child isn’t crying or fussing? Would it be so if she weren’t the real mother?" The crowd didn’t believe Wang Fei’s words.
"I’m telling the truth; the child really is this woman’s. That person is the trafficker; she deliberately sat next to the woman and cozied up to her, constantly entertaining the child. That’s why he doesn’t see her as a stranger," Wang Fei said, both anxious and angry. How could these people fail to understand the situation?
"Come with me to the Public Security Office, and we’ll see if the officers take your side," a burly man stepped forward, reaching out to grab Wang Fei.
"Yes! Let’s take them to the Public Security Office; these traffickers are truly vile!"
Luo Shu stepped forward, pulling Wang Fei behind him and with lightning-fast reflexes, struck out. Before the crowd could see what happened, the man trying to grab Wang Fei had been sent flying. Simultaneously, the child from the arms of the woman in the floral shirt was now in Luo Shu’s hands.
Luo Shu handed the child over to the woman on the ground, his gaze icy as he swept it over the traffickers, "Scram!"
The traffickers wanted to fight back, but the aura Luo Shu emitted, combined with the martial skill he had just demonstrated, prevented them from daring to make a move.
All they could do was clench their teeth in frustration and quickly walk away. They had been eyeing the mother and son duo since they boarded in Jinchen and didn’t expect a Cheng Yaojin to appear out of nowhere and thwart their plans.
This was their turf in Northern Xiang; as long as the people didn’t leave Northern Xiang, they were determined to reclaim the situation.
Watching the woman in the floral shirt and her group leave dejectedly, the onlooking crowd came to understand what had happened. They glanced at the mother and son on the ground and dispersed somewhat awkwardly. They had nearly become accomplices to the traffickers just moments before.
The mother on the ground was crying her heart out, clutching her child tightly, fearful that he might be taken from her again. Only a mother could truly understand the feeling of being reunited with one’s own flesh and blood.
Wang Fei, feeling a tinge of emotion, helped the woman off the ground, "Your child has returned; please don’t cry." She gently patted the woman’s back to comfort her.
"Thank you... thank you all... for saving my child... thank you..." the woman sobbed, expressing her gratitude to Wang Fei and Luo Shu.
"You don’t need to thank us! Just be more cautious about trusting strangers in the future," Wang Fei advised. This incident was also a profound lesson for her; those who appeared harmless and kind might not be good people. The saying that you shouldn’t harbor ill intentions but always be on guard was proven true.
"I won’t make that mistake again... thank you..." the woman bowed deeply to Wang Fei and Luo Shu, picked up her luggage from the ground, and walked away with her child.
Wang Fei turned back, looking at Luo Shu with admiration, "Luo Shu, you are amazing! How did you learn martial arts?" If not for Luo Shu, the situation certainly wouldn’t have resolved so neatly.
"Aren’t you saying Zhang Qi and the others are waiting for us? Let’s get going!" Luo Shu said with a smile, pulling Wang Fei by the hand, and they headed toward the meeting point they had arranged with Zhang Qi and the others.
"Luo Shu, who taught you kung fu? Can you teach me too? I really want to learn! If I learn it, then let’s see who would dare to bully me. Luo Shu, will you teach me, please?"
