"What's going on? Is it raining?" Zhao Kuan felt something like water and quickly dodged.

It was so weird that I got soaked even though it wasn't raining.

Just as they were cursing and thinking it was nothing, they found their skin starting to burn and hurt.

They started jumping around and yelling.

The shouts immediately attracted the middle-aged woman's attention. Upon seeing the group, she stepped forward without hesitation and began to fight with them.

Watching the older woman's every move, which seemed to be specially trained, and how she quickly took down one of them, Jiang Ning was filled with shock.

Is this woman really an ordinary middle-aged woman?

However, Zhao Kuan was a man after all. Despite the pain, he picked up a carrying pole next to him and was about to smash it at the old woman.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning quickly found a suitable spot and used the stick in his hand to knock the carrying pole away.

In the next few minutes, she and the older woman worked together to knock all three human traffickers to the ground.

Jiang Ning found some hemp rope and tied their hands and feet together, making them unable to move.

After finishing all that, she went into the room to find the child.

To prevent the child from crying, the man had actually covered his face with a blanket. When she lifted the blanket, the child's face had turned purplish-red.

She quickly retrieved some spring water from her spatial storage and gave it to him to drink.

Soon, the child's face returned to normal, he smacked his lips, and fell asleep again.

The older woman tied several people outside to a rope like grasshoppers.

Seeing Jiang Ning come out carrying the child, he smiled at her and said:

"Thanks to you this time, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to beat them on my own."

Jiang Ning smiled faintly: "Auntie, you're too modest. I didn't do much at all. You were the one who took them down one by one."

Zhao Kuan was in excruciating pain from the sulfuric acid corrosion. He thought to himself, "At this point, let's stop flattering each other and get them to the hospital as soon as possible."

The older woman glanced at them impatiently and gave them an order:

"Stand still, all of you, and come with me to the police station. If anyone tries to escape, I'll kill them on the spot."

The group of people who were originally fierce and menacing were now as docile as kittens, walking away incredibly fast.

The driver was a kind-hearted man. When he heard that the woman had caught the kidnapper, he quickly refunded the other passengers and told them to take other buses. He was going to take the kidnapper to the county police station.

An hour later, the car stopped in front of the police station, and the four human traffickers lined up and walked towards the police station, a truly spectacular sight.

Jiang Ning handed the child over to the police and asked them to quickly get him some milk powder.

They also learned the woman's identity.

She turned out to be Director He's mother.

Like mother, like son!

When Director He saw his mother capture four human traffickers, he felt both admiration and fear.

"Mother, if you encounter something like this again, please don't do it yourself. It's too dangerous. What if something happens to you?"

Director He quickly pulled her to sit down in his office.

Aunt He didn't take credit, pointing to Jiang Ning beside her and saying:

"This was indeed a close call. Without this girl's cooperation, I really wouldn't have been confident."

Director He hurriedly reached out to thank Jiang Ning.

"Comrade, thank you. You are truly remarkable women. On behalf of the police station, I must give you a proper commendation."

"By the way, comrade, what's your name?"

Jiang Ning smiled slightly: "Director He, my name is Jiang Ning."

Director He was startled. He felt that the name was familiar. Wasn't she the friend that Song Jia always talked about?

"You must be Jiajia's friend."

He asked to confirm.

Seeing Jiang Ning nod, he then said to his mother:

"This girl is your granddaughter-in-law's friend; the two are very close."

However, she didn't mention what her husband, Lin Chen, had done at the police station. Instead, he waited until his mother left before asking her to sit down and having a detailed conversation with her.

The current situation is that there are no direct eyewitnesses to Lin Chen's murder, although physical evidence has been found, but it is not very convincing.

Jiang Ning was pleasantly surprised. Thinking of the people who had been arrested today, she quickly said to him:

"Director He, interrogate the human traffickers you brought back today carefully. They should be the same group that identified Lin Chen."

They weren't honest farmers; they were always robbing people on the road.

Director He was shocked upon hearing this, as the person had just been brought back and he hadn't had a chance to hear the report yet, so he was unaware of the situation.

If this is true, then the case will soon take a turn for the better.

Jiang Ning gave Director He time to work on the case, then said goodbye and left the police station.

After she was released, she found another opportunity to enter the space and secretly went to the detention cell where Lin Chen was staying.

The room was very simple, with three walls and one iron railing. Inside was a narrow little bed. When it was time to eat, someone would bring the food in, and when someone wanted to use the toilet, someone would lead them there.

Jiang Ning saw him sitting on the edge of the bed, leaning against the wall, staring blankly into the void, and her heart ached.

However, she quickly calmed herself down and comforted herself.

In their past lives, the two had endured far more hardships than this; these temporary difficulties would only make them stronger.

At this moment, Lin Chen, who was staring into the void, suddenly turned his head, as if he sensed something. His eyes searched everywhere, but he found nothing.

Losing his freedom temporarily is nothing, it's just that he misses his wife and children so much.

He didn't expect things to turn out this way, but if he had another chance, would he make the same choice?

After thinking for a few seconds, he became certain that to achieve great things, one must have a ruthless streak when faced with such situations.
