Xiao Che walked extremely fast, completely ignoring the people calling his name behind him. Well, they were calling out, "Hey! Comrade!"

"Stop right there!"

She was chasing after him in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to ask anyone else what the person in front of her was called.

Therefore, they can't remember people's names when they are called.

Seeing that he completely ignored her and that she couldn't catch up with him, she could only stomp her feet in frustration and anger.

Did Xiao Che really not hear it? No, he did hear it, but he just didn't want to pay attention. He recognized the voice; the person calling him was the crying hostage.

Now that everyone has been rescued, they can go about their business as usual. Afterwards, they can be taken to the police station, where their people will handle the follow-up matters.

He decided not to get involved in those matters. He also didn't want to get involved with anyone he shouldn't; after all, he was a married man.

After the group finished dealing with things here, it was already very late at night. Xiao Che dragged his tired body back to the courtyard.

Seeing the light coming from inside the room, his cold and hard expression softened.

He tightened his grip on the briefcase, which contained the documents he had brought back to show Bai Yajing.

He strode quickly into the house. Bai Yajing noticed the commotion, put down her book, and opened the door to greet him.

Meanwhile, inside the police station on the other side, cries and wails filled the air.

There were family members who came to pick up their lost children after receiving the news, as well as human traffickers who had just been detained.

There were also women huddled together, weeping softly. They had been through this ordeal, and the gossip was terrifying. They didn't know how they would live their lives from now on, and their future was shrouded in uncertainty.

If their families are open-minded, they might still have a way to survive. But if their families look down on them, their future will likely be anything but good.

Seeing that most of the abducted children had been taken away, while they still had few children left, their spirits sank even lower.

Fortunately, some family members did come to pick them up. However, they didn't look too happy, and after completing the formalities, they took the person away with dark faces.

After several repetitions, the way people looked at the group of women in the corner was mixed—some with pity, some with dislike, some with curiosity, and so on. That's human nature!

The women kept their heads down, not daring to look at those people, only occasionally glancing up at the door with particularly expectant eyes.

Whatever the reason, even if it's to take them back and sell them to an old widower, it doesn't matter whether they are accepted or not. At this moment, they are anxiously hoping that a family member will come and take them home.

However, there was one exception: she was not afraid of those who were looking at her, and completely ignored them.

She looked expectantly toward the door, feeling a little strange. She wondered why her father hadn't come to pick her up yet, since she was missing.

Her father hadn't come to pick her up, and the longer she waited, the more irritated she became. The women behind her were also crying and wailing, which was annoying. She couldn't help but yell back, "What are you crying about! We're not dead! The soldiers rescued us in time, and we weren't insulted!"

If someone insults or verbally abuses us with malicious intent, just yell back! We're not criminals! The ones who should be ashamed are the human traffickers, not us victims!

That's incredibly stupid! Why not just say you weren't insulted? If someone criticizes you, then yell back and ask them if they have a conscience.

It's not their fault that something like this happened, so why should they live in fear and timidity? Do those people want to see them make a fool of themselves? Well, she'll live well, and live a life they can't even dream of reaching!

The women stopped crying upon hearing this and fell silent for a moment. Not everyone has her kind of confidence! Her personality only suggests she was spoiled by her family from a young age, with family to rely on, while most of them weren't...
