Chapter 253: Chapter 253 Kidnapping

"Why call the police? This is our family matter, no need to trouble the police. Making a big fuss, you might not feel embarrassed but we do. Don’t you just want to be with the kid? Let our nephew bring her to the house and we’ll fulfill her wish. But let me make it clear, once you are in our family, you will be a widow for my son. If you show any interest in another man, you better leave early, and the child won’t be yours either," the old lady said, clasping her hands.

The middle-aged man who had been standing next to the old lady received some kind of signal and walked over to the woman, reaching out his large fan-shaped hand to grab her, his face full of meaty hostility, silencing those who wanted to help.

"I won’t go with you, you’re human traffickers. Kind people, please call the police and bring these traffickers to justice, I beg you!" The woman’s voice was hoarse from crying and shouting too hard, and the man who grabbed her slapped her face to the side, speaking in a deep voice, "What’s with all the nonsense? Aunt kindly let you come with us, but instead of being grateful, you want to call the police on us. Ungrateful wretch."

A middle-aged woman who had earlier been pushed aside came up again, her face disapproving as she spoke to the woman: "You seem mentally unstable. If you really care about the child, just go with your in-laws. Why do something as heartless as running off with the child in secret? That’s your husband’s only bloodline left in this world. How could you be so heartless, girl?"

With the middle-aged woman leading, the crowd began to follow suit, and someone even made a path for the old lady. The woman’s mouth swelled from the slap and she bit her tongue, making her mumblings unintelligible. With the man and woman restraining her, she couldn’t chase after them, and could only watch helplessly as the old lady carried her child away, flanked by a man and woman.

Her eyes welled up with tears of despair. The man and woman restraining her exchanged a secretive glance when no one was watching.

If they succeed in this deal, they could live comfortably for quite some time, the two thought.

Just as the old lady was about to break through the crowd and accomplish her goal, a man in casual clothes blocked her path.

The old lady moved to the left, and the man blocking her also moved to the left. She moved to the right, and the man moved to the right.

The old lady lifted her head, initially stunned by the coldness in the man’s eyes, then with dissatisfaction, said, "We have urgent business to return home, please step aside."

Xu Ke glanced at the crying, fussing child in her arms and said coldly, "Leave the child, and you can go."

The old lady stepped back with the child in her arms. The woman who had been protecting the old lady took a step forward, watching Xu Ke with hostility, and shouted, "What are you trying to do, snatch the child in broad daylight?" The woman spread her arms to protect the old lady and child, making Xu Ke appear menacing to those unaware of the truth.

The crowd that had just dispersed closed in again.

"This young man looks so lively, and his clothes aren’t cheap. He doesn’t look like someone who would snatch a child. Is there some misunderstanding between you?" someone knowledgeable in the crowd said, taking a look at Xu Ke’s attire and addressing the group with the old lady.

"What misunderstanding could lead him to try and snatch the child from us?" The old lady hugged the child tighter, looking at Xu Ke with wary eyes.

"I am the child’s uncle. How could I not know my sister has in-laws like you? Besides, these clothes, even a button costs tens of thousands. Do I need to snatch a child? Others would be more than willing to give me a child," Xu Ke said, his hands in his pockets, looking at the group with a cold demeanor.

"I advise you to hand the child over to my sister quickly. Otherwise, this won’t end well, and I’ll have to invite you to stay at the police station for a few days to see what kind of people you are, daring to snatch someone else’s child and wife in public," Xu Ke said sternly, his face cold.

"What nonsense are you spouting? You say you’re the uncle, and we’re supposed to just believe you? Is wearing designer clothes supposed to be impressive? Who knows how those clothes were paid for? Human trafficker tactics are deep these days, who knows if you’re a scammer," the old lady retorted, overcoming her initial panic and glaring with her sharp, aged eyes.

"Our flight is about to take off, don’t block our way. We’re in a hurry to get home. If we miss the flight, we can’t get back to the village before dark, and we won’t have a place to stay. It doesn’t matter if I, with my old bones, get sick, but my precious grandson can’t be in trouble. Let us go," said the old lady in a hurry to Xu Ke.

"Why rush? The police will be here soon, and they will settle this," Xu Ke said with a thin, mocking smile as the faint sound of sirens approached.

The onlookers also heard the sirens, and visibly, the group around the old lady panicked. The man and woman restraining the woman loosened their grip in confusion, allowing her to break free.

With a swollen face from the slap, the woman charged at the old lady, only to be kicked in the stomach by the old man safeguarding her, sending her to the ground.

At this point, the group could no longer maintain their facade and tried to shove their way out, but how could Xu Ke let them escape?

"They are human traffickers, stop them, don’t let them get away, the police are coming," Xu Ke shouted to the crowd.

The previously hesitant crowd now fully understood the situation. Families with children, who despised human traffickers to the core, wouldn’t let them escape. One by one, they formed a solid human wall, trapping the traffickers within their net.

"Move aside, or I’ll strangle the kid,"

The old lady, who had previously shown a fake compassionate side towards the child, placed her hand on the child’s fragile, small neck and applied slight pressure.
