Old Mrs. Tao was cowardly and troublesome. After her husband died in middle age, she raised three ungrateful sons, helping them get married and have children. In her old age, no one took care of he...
The children of the Xia family can be mediocre, spoiled, or dissolute.
However, one cannot have a bad character.
"Can I go see the lady who was arrested along with Xia Ke first?" Xia Wenjing asked the police station chief.
"Aren't we going to see Xia Ke first?" The police station chief was a little confused.
"We've already sent people to the place they mentioned to look for them," the police station chief said, wiping the sweat from his brow.
"Do you have enough manpower? I can help out," Xia Wenjing asked.
“That’s enough, that’s enough. This is a major human trafficking case, and those four people have confirmed the truth of what Tao Ying and Xia Ke said.” In the few hours since Xia Wenjing arrived, the police station chief has done his best to push the case forward.
“If needed, I can do my best to help,” Xia Wenjing said softly.
"Thank you, Commander Xia," the police station chief replied with a smile.
But they didn't ask for help; they couldn't bear the shame.
The police station chief led Xia Wenjing to the interrogation room where Tao Ying was being questioned.
Tao Ying has answered this four times already, and she's on the verge of a mental breakdown.
I was tired, sleepy, and hungry.
"Officer, why are you still asking me questions? You can doubt me, you can frame me, but you can't mistreat me." Tao Ying was genuinely angry.
“I’m just an ordinary old lady, and Xia Ke is just an ordinary high school senior. The traffickers are Jiang Yong, Zhang Fang, and Biaozi. The place I mentioned is a village that sells women. There are also several young people who have been sold to the mines. They need your help to rescue them.” Tao Ying was truly devastated.
“An ordinary old lady can’t drive, and she wouldn’t be this calm when facing human traffickers.” A rather authoritative voice rang out from outside the door.
Tao Ying looked up and saw a man with gray hair, a serious and handsome face, who looked to be around fifty years old.
“Xia Ke and I escaped from human traffickers together. If I am a human trafficker, then Xia Ke is a human trafficker too.” Tao Ying suddenly calmed down when she saw the face that resembled Xia Ke’s.
"I want to know, why do you think we're human traffickers?" Tao Ying couldn't understand.
These people can't catch real human traffickers, but they're good at catching trafficked women.
"Go out and see for yourself. The blood-stained, dilapidated van, the unfamiliar accents and shifty eyes when they were buying things, and the several pale-faced young women inside the broken windows. Tell me what you think." The police officer slammed his hand on the table, his voice tinged with aggrieved anger.
I thought catching the human trafficker would be a great achievement, but it turns out the woman who was trafficked escaped on her own, and I ended up catching her because I mistook her for a human trafficker. I can't bear the shame.
"Well... I just heard that the villages where people are trafficked are all in cahoots. We barely managed to escape, and we're afraid of being caught and taken back." Tao Ying suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Comrade, thank you for saving Xia Ke. I am her uncle, Xia Wenjing." Xia Wenjing looked at Tao Ying with great admiration.
"It wasn't me who saved Xia Ke, but Xia Ke who saved me. If Xia Ke hadn't been calm, decisive, and quick to subdue Biaozi, neither of us would have been able to escape." Tao Ying felt that there was some exaggeration in Xia Ke's words.
The fact that Xia Wenjing came to see me alone means that he didn't go to see Xia Ke.
I doubt they care that much about Xia Ke.
"How do you know how to drive?" Xia Wenjing didn't respond to Tao Ying's question.
I'm taking a day off. Don't wait, I'll continue with two chapters tomorrow.
