An ocean survival game suddenly swept across the globe, drawing countless humans into it.
Waking up, Jiang An found herself lying on a raft. From that day on, an ordinary girl began her journ...
Yesterday, when Jiang Suisui was passing by this carriage while fetching water, she noticed an elderly woman with a thin face and wearing a worn-out top, holding a chubby little boy who looked to be about three or four years old. The little boy was dressed very fashionably, wearing black leather shoes. In those days, anyone who could afford to buy leather shoes for a growing child was either wealthy or extremely doting on their child.
When Jiang Suisui met them yesterday, she was slightly surprised because their outfits didn't match at all. She assumed it was because their families spoiled their sons, so she didn't pay much attention. She was just a little surprised and didn't think much of it. But today, Jiang Suisui realized...
Both times she encountered him, the little boy was being held by the old woman. She couldn't see his face clearly, but she could clearly see that the little boy was "asleep" and she never saw him move. Children of this age are usually playful, and she had never seen him play.
Jiang Suisui recalled what she had read in her previous life: there were many human traffickers on trains in this era. A knot formed in her heart. "Could it be human traffickers?"
Jiang Suisui thought to herself and then took action. "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I didn't bump into you, did I? How is the child? Is he hurt? There's a medical room in the car, would you like me to take you there?" As she spoke, Jiang Suisui kept looking at the old lady. Jiang Suisui clearly saw that the old lady became flustered when the child was mentioned.
At the same time, Jiang Suisui's hands were not idle either, "I accidentally touched the little boy a few times."
It turned out that when Jiang Suisui walked up to the two of them, she pretended to fall accidentally and landed on the old lady.
"Comrade, you didn't bump into anything, just be more careful next time," the old lady said kindly.
"Alright, I'm really sorry, ma'am. I happen to have a few candies here. Here, little one, have a sweet treat." Jiang Suisui took out the candies and was about to put them in the child's hand when the old lady snatched them away, saying somewhat urgently, "Just give them to me. My little grandson is carsick these past few days and is sleeping here."
Jiang Suisui glanced around and noticed that two men on either side were staring intently at the spot, their faces menacing, as if they were about to get up and attack at any moment.
Jiang Suisui ignored her and said directly, "Okay, Auntie, where are you taking your grandson? It must be really hard for an old woman to take care of a child alone."
"Go find my son and daughter-in-law. My son is serving in the army in another city, and I'm here to visit him," the old lady said proudly.
"Oh, a military family member? That's remarkable, bringing honor to the country!" The people around instantly showed expressions of admiration.
"Oh, you have no idea how hard it is for military families. I'm away from home all year round, and I live in constant fear. Look, my grandson misses his father, so I, an old woman, took my sick child and traveled thousands of miles to find my son," the old woman said with a sorrowful expression.
Jiang Suisui also expressed her admiration for the families of military personnel.
Afterwards, Jiang Suisui apologized to the old lady again, and the three of them walked towards their own carriage. "Suisui, are you alright? You scared me just now. How did you fall down while walking normally?" Lin Qingxue said with some concern.
"Yes, Sui Sui, I was right behind you. If I had reacted quickly, I could have pulled you up."
"It's alright, comrades. Look at me, I'm perfectly fine now. I just tripped and fell, but I didn't fall down," Jiang Suisui said to the two of them.
Back in the carriage, Jiang Suisui put her things into the basket, packed them away, picked up a book, and pretended to read. In reality, she was going over the human traffickers' story in her mind and reinforcing the images of the three people in her memory.
Then I secretly slipped the pencil and a few sheets of white paper into my crossbody bag.
He exchanged a few words with Lin Qingxue next to him and then left.
Jiang Suisui went to the front of the carriage and found the train conductor in the staff carriage. She then told the conductor about her discovery.
“A single spark can start a prairie fire, comrade. Thank you for your reminder. I will send someone to check immediately. You haven’t told anyone else about this, have you?”
"Don't worry, conductor. This matter is of great importance. We're not sure if there are any accomplices. I haven't told anyone, in case something unexpected happens," Jiang Suisui said firmly.
"Good comrade, you go back first, I'll arrange for the train police to conduct a check," the train conductor said anxiously. He was afraid that Jiang Suisui had alerted them and they had escaped.
"Train conductor, please wait a few minutes. I'll draw the appearance of the female trafficker and the child, as well as two men. I suspect they are the trafficker's accomplices, so you can take them with you." Jiang Suisui said hurriedly, taking out paper and pen from her bag and starting to draw.
Jiang Suisui had studied sketching in modern times. Although she wasn't very good at it, she could still draw a small portrait without any problem.
As Jiang Suisui was drawing the portrait, the train conductor had already called over five or six police officers. After finishing the drawing, Jiang Suisui handed the portrait to the train conductor.
The train conductor took one and examined it carefully, then distributed the others to the train police officers, instructing them to memorize them.
"Train conductor, comrades, could I ask you a favor? Please don't tell anyone that I discovered the human traffickers. I'm afraid that too many people will see and it will attract the traffickers' retaliation," Jiang Suisui said to them with some concern.
“Comrade Jiang, if we catch the person, I was planning to write a commendation for your brigade. But since you put it that way,” the train conductor looked at Jiang Suisui and nodded heavily, “then we’ll do as you say.”
"I won't disturb you comrades any longer in catching the human traffickers," Jiang Suisui said, turning and leaving.
Behind them, they could still hear the train conductor outlining the plan for the arrest operation.
"Sui Sui, where have you been? Why did you come back?" Lin Qingxue asked immediately when she saw Jiang Sui Sui appear in the carriage.
“I ran into a classmate on the way and chatted with him for a bit. What are you guys doing? It looks like you’re about to fight,” Jiang Suisui said with a smile.
“Sui Sui, we just encountered a problem while reading a book. Yu Zecheng and Zhang Zhiguo both believe their views are correct, and we have to choose,” Lin Qingxue explained.
Lin Congcong glanced at the group, then continued sitting there reading, ignoring everyone.
"Lin Congcong isn't participating, Comrade Jiang. Lin Qingxue and I are also on opposing sides. We're just waiting for you to choose which side to choose. Hurry up and choose!" Zhu Linlin said excitedly.
The four of them looked at Jiang Suisui with expectant expressions.
Looking at the expressions on their faces, Jiang Suisui burst out laughing. "I don't know what's going on yet. Can anyone tell me?"
Yu Zecheng and Zhang Zhiguo eagerly told Jiang Suisui the story, and then both looked on expectantly for her reply.
