Xia Anyan's words caused quite a stir here.

It's fair to say that many people only realize how serious the situation would be if it weren't stopped in time.

Xia Anyan knew that such things could still happen in this era.

Especially in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, there were many cases of trafficking in women and children, and in the end, very few of them were ever found.

She's just an ordinary person and can't do those things at all. All she can do is try her best to remind people to be more aware and reduce the number of human trafficking cases.

Xia Anyan's mood was not high, or rather, it was very bad, all the way on the train.

Gu Shen originally wanted her to process it herself, but seeing her like this, he really couldn't bear to.

"Yan Yan, are you still upset about what happened earlier?"

“We have already started to pay attention to this kind of thing, and many places have issued instructions. Many women and children have been rescued. We need to give them time and take it slowly, right?”

Gu Shen's voice was gentle, yet it gave Xia Anyan a sense of security.

He has a typical youthful voice, leaning towards a strong, assertive tone, but when he softens his voice, Xia Anyan is truly unable to resist.

She looked up and met Gu Shen's gaze: "Gu Shen, there will definitely be more things like this happening in the future. I... I want to do something for them."

Gu Shen nodded.

"Okay, whatever you want to do, I'll do it with you."

Xia Anyan hasn't decided what to do yet, but at this stage, popularizing science is a must.

"Oh right, the newspaper." Xia Anyan suddenly sat up in bed, looking at Gu Shen with excitement.

Gu Shen quickly used his hand to shield her head.

Although it's a soft sleeper berth with two levels, the person in the lower berth can sit up straight without any problem.

However, this does not mean that you won't bump your head if you make big movements.

Xia Anyan really liked his thoughtfulness and attentiveness.

Xia Anyan didn't care about anything else. She pulled Gu Shen's arm and made him sit down next to her before she spoke: "What I mean is, write an article, submit it to the newspaper, and then publish it in the newspaper. That way, many people will be able to see it."

Gu Shen analyzed what she said.

Actually, this is one way.

However, with more and more educated people going to the countryside now, it's hard to say what the future holds.

Xia Anyan's identity is also somewhat sensitive; if...

"Yan Yan, are you really sure?" Gu Shen asked her very seriously.

Xia Anyan nodded: "Of course, I'm very serious."

“I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. If it can be done, more people will be spared the suffering of being trafficked.”

Xia Anyan's idea is indeed quite good and very meaningful.

Besides his regular job, Gu Shen actually pays a lot of attention to these things in his daily life.

He was happy that Xia Anyan had such an idea, and since that was the case, they would work together.

While the two were talking, other people got into the car.

Because of Gu Shen's status, the two boarded the car early. Knowing that others would definitely come to their private room, Gu Shen had already made the bed and even put up a small curtain for them.

Xia Anyan slept on the lower level, while he slept on the upper level.

Upon seeing the elderly couple at the door, Gu Shen was taken aback for a moment before going to help them carry their things.

However, the old lady was very gentle and gave people a feeling of being easy to get along with.

But the old man had a fiery temper. When he saw Gu Shen come to help, he immediately started cursing: "What's wrong with you, kid? Do you really think I'm some useless old man?"

"I'm not old enough to lift these things yet, I don't need your help, get out of here."

As the old man spoke, he gave Gu Shen a push.

He stood firmly and wasn't pushed over, but the old man lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Although Xia Anyan didn't like the old man, she couldn't help but go up to help him when she saw him about to fall.

"Grandpa, are you alright?"

"Oh dear, old man, how could you be so careless?"

"Grandpa, let me help you."

Seeing the three hands reaching out to him, the old man dodged them all and slowly got up by himself, touching the door frame beside him.

This time, he didn't refuse Gu Shen's help to carry his luggage and climbed up to the upper bunk himself.

Xia Anyan and Gu Shen exchanged a glance, both somewhat confused about the old man's situation.

The old lady was actually a little embarrassed by the situation.

She smiled sheepishly: "I'm so sorry, comrades. My husband has been going through some things lately and hasn't been in a good mood. If he said or did anything that upset you, I apologize."

As he spoke, he was about to bow down and apologize to them.

Even if the old man hadn't done anything, do you think they could expect an old man to apologize to them?

Gu Shen avoided the situation, while Xia Anyan directly raised her hand to support the old lady.

“Grandma, if you do this, you’ll be making us feel terrible,” Xia Anyan frowned, looking unhappy. “They say that meeting is fate. Since we were able to meet in this private room, it means that we are destined to meet.”

"Besides, we didn't do anything wrong just now. It's just that Grandpa's temper is a bit bad. If he runs into an unreasonable person, he'll definitely suffer. Grandma should remind him more often."

Xia Anyan's reminder was not malicious, and even the old lady couldn't say anything unpleasant.

But the old man, who had been dozing with his eyes closed, opened them at that moment.

He sat bolt upright in bed, glaring at the two young men: "What do you know? I've sacrificed so much to teach those kids, and this is how they treat this old man!"

"The school has fired me now. I'm so old, why should I... Never mind, I can't explain it to you guys."

The old man was furious, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Xia Anyan, however, realized what was happening.

She looked at the two elderly people more closely, and they seemed to be intellectuals in both demeanor and clothing.

She understood instantly.

"Grandma, may I ask a question? Were you and that grandpa both teachers before?"

The four people had already entered the private room, and the door was closed. They were speaking softly, and unless someone outside was peering through the door, they certainly wouldn't hear them.

The old lady sighed and nodded: "Yes, we're all teachers in schools in this part of the province. We've been teaching here for over forty years, and we never expected this..."

As the old woman spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. A sharp, throbbing pain in her chest made her unable to hold back her tears in front of others.
