Sister Wang gestured for her not to move. After waiting for a while, two more stops passed, and there weren't as many people on the bus anymore. The woman stood up to get off.

Suddenly, Sister Wang grabbed her wrist and shouted loudly.

"Stop thief! She's a thief! Stop thief!"

The people on the bus immediately panicked, asking, "Where's the thief?"

"My money..."

The woman was still in a daze when she came to her senses and angrily said, "You're accusing me! I'm not a thief, I didn't steal any money."

Lin Chuchu moved closer, actually blocking her escape route.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? This lady is holding a child. Does she have all her money with her child?"

The car pulled over to the side of the road, and many people blocked the entrance, afraid that the thief would escape.

Sister Wang took out her military ID, raised it high, and said, "She stole my money. I'm a soldier, I don't lie."

Upon hearing that he was a soldier, everyone on the bus believed him.

Lin Chuchu was pushed to the side and couldn't help but shout.

"Oh my god, it really is! The baby in her arms hasn't woken up at all. It's making so much noise but doesn't cry. Could she be a child trafficker?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd realized there were human traffickers involved, and they panicked, pushing and shoving even harder to get inside.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Sister Wang held the child in her arms and gently shook him.

"Oh no! The child has been drugged! Get him to the hospital immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the driver started the engine, saying, "Go to the police station first, then to the hospital. Those despicable human traffickers."

The traffickers, seeing that the child in their arms had disappeared in the blink of an eye and they couldn't escape, panicked and tried to explain themselves.

“I am not a human trafficker, the child is my son. I think you are the human traffickers. Give my child back to me.”

"Otherwise, I'll sue you later."

Sister Wang raised her eyebrows slightly, pulled off the outermost blanket covering the child in her arms, revealing the delicate fabric inside.

"You say you're not a human trafficker, so why did you wrap the child up in another layer? Isn't that just to cover your tracks?"

The human trafficker looked annoyed. If the fabric hadn't looked nice, she would have thrown it away long ago. Unfortunately, it became evidence.

This child wasn't her target; she had just sent one child away and on her way back saw this one, and she couldn't resist stealing him. She hadn't even had a chance to resell him yet.

She really was a human trafficker, and now everyone was watching her even more closely, afraid that she would escape.

Lin Chuchu minimized her presence. She didn't have Sister Wang's skills or the strength of a man; getting close would only cause trouble.

They soon arrived at the police station. Several agitated people escorted the human trafficker off the bus, with Lin Chuchu and Sister Wang following behind.

The human trafficker tried to escape, but someone slapped him across the face with the sole of a shoe, and he dared not move again.

She saw Lin Chuchu, her eyes bloodshot, and said incredulously, "You're in cahoots with her? No wonder you started talking to me."

"When I get out, I will definitely get my revenge on you."

Lin Chuchu shook her head indifferently, "Let's talk about it when you come out."

When the police officers at the local police station saw a group of people, they initially thought it was a fight, but later they learned that it turned out to be human traffickers.

Lin Chuchu leaned forward and whispered, "Officer, I suspect she has a gang and may have abducted more than one child. Please interrogate her carefully and don't let the criminals get away with it."

The police officer, knowing who she and Sister Wang were, saluted them and said, "Thank you both. Please rest assured, we will not let any bad guys get away with it."

After giving their statements, it was already late, and the two lost interest in shopping, so they simply took a car home.

On the way, Sister Wang patted Lin Chuchu on the shoulder, "I didn't expect you to be so observant and perceptive. Not bad, really not bad."

Lin Chuchu smiled and said, "I'm not sure either, but I really can't bear to see children being abducted."

Who doesn't love their own child? Losing a child is like taking the parents' lives; it's not just one family that gets ruined.

A week later, when the police station chief delivered the certificate, he specifically mentioned the human traffickers.

"There are 36 human traffickers in total. They have already trafficked 12 children and 3 women, all of whom were trafficked to remote mountainous areas. Two of them died during this period."

Lin Chuchu sighed. Even with the widespread surveillance in later generations, it was impossible to eliminate human traffickers, let alone now.

People nowadays are generally kind and helpful; they like to lend a hand to those in need. That's how some kind-hearted girls get tricked.

"Can those sold children and women be brought back?"

The director looked grave. “We can only do our best. Some places are too remote, and the local people are tough. We can’t be sure we can rescue them.”

The topic was too heavy, so the director took an envelope out of his pocket.

"The parents of the child you saved this time are not ordinary people. They originally wanted to come and thank you in person, but they were too busy and in a hurry to return to the capital."

"Before they left, they left you 200 yuan and a few letters. If you ever go to Beijing, you can look for them."

Lin Chuchu accepted it casually, not intending to take advantage of the favor, and figuring there wouldn't be many opportunities to meet again in the future.

Spring arrived in the blink of an eye, and after shedding her heavy military overcoat, Lin Chuchu felt much lighter.

With one year left until the college entrance examination, Lin Chuchu spends her days either working or studying.

Mu Chen gave her two old college entrance exam papers and told her to practice them whenever she had free time.

Lin Chuchu could sense that the current environment was different, and even the emergence of state-mandated individual businesses.

However, obtaining the certificate is difficult and requires a background check.

That day, she had just left the office when she saw Sister Wang clutching her ankle, her face pale.
