They captured the traffickers and rescued the hostages.

They went down the mountain to the brigade headquarters, and the human traffickers handed Qin Yuping over.

Lu Xinyue and Wang Jiajia were both frightened. They regretted going up the mountain with Qin Yuping. If Xu Nuannuan had not gone to save them, they would be in great danger now.

When the Ding family learned that little Dingding had been found, they hurried to the brigade headquarters to pick him up. They also learned that it was Xu Nuannuan who discovered the human traffickers' lair, arrested the traffickers, and came back to report to the brigade commander.

They were very grateful to Xu Nuannuan. Xiao Dingding's grandfather, Lao Ding, knelt directly in front of Xu Nuannuan.

"Xu Zhiqing, you are our family's great benefactor. We will never forget your kindness and generosity. We would be happy to repay you by working like slaves for you in the future."

He kept calling her "you" which made Xu Nuannuan feel embarrassed.

Xu Nuannuan pulled him up and said, "Uncle, you're welcome."

Old Ding wiped his tears and took out twenty yuan and gave it to Xu Nuannuan, "Xu Zhiqing, take this money. The reward you just promised will still count."

Xu Nuannuan didn't take his money. They were all neighbors from the same village, and they were not short of money, so she didn't take it.

When it was getting dark, Qin Yuping stumbled down the mountain. She first went to the team leader's house and prepared to tell the team leader that Wang Jiajia and Lu Xinyue had been kidnapped by human traffickers.

But the team leader was not at home, so Qin Xianglian asked her to go to the team headquarters to find Yu Guobao.

As soon as she entered the brigade headquarters and saw Yu Guobao, she started crying.

"Captain, this is terrible! This is terrible! Lu Zhiqing, Wang Zhiqing, and I went to the mountains to pick mushrooms today, but we ran into human traffickers. They took us away. I fought back desperately and finally managed to break free from their clutches and escape down the mountain. Captain, please take some people and rescue them."

The captain was very calm and said to her directly: "Qin Zhiqing, come with me and see if the traffickers you mentioned are them?"

"Ah?!" Qin Yuping froze for a moment. While she was still confused, three human traffickers appeared in front of her.

"Qin Zhiqing, we've all confessed, so why don't you confess too?"

Qin Yuping was stunned. "Why, why is it you?"

When were her backers and partners arrested?

At this point, she was at the end of her rope. She had managed to escape when Shen Mengan and Zhang Qianjin were arrested before, but this time she couldn't escape no matter what.

The next day, the police came and took him and four human traffickers away, and they would be severely punished.

At the same time, Xu Nuannuan was once again praised by the Public Security Bureau Chief and awarded a medal.

Two days later, Yu Qingqing was working miserably in the fields. Perhaps because her father had framed Xu Nuannuan, the land assigned to her by the team leader was a bit remote and the work was not easy.

She accidentally discovered two familiar people.

Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suyun.

When she saw the two men, they were plowing the soil at the foot of the hillside. Although they were both quite tanned, she still recognized them.

She never imagined that the person he wanted to find was right under her nose, but he had never noticed it.

She tightly gripped the farm tools in her hands, annoyed at herself for not being able to see the couple earlier. If he had known that Xu Nuannuan's parents were here earlier, her father wouldn't have falsely accused Xu Nuannuan.

She wanted to report Xu Nuannuan right away, expose Xu Nuannuan, and have Xu Nuannuan arrested. With this discovery, Xu Nuannuan would definitely not be able to recover.

But she thought about it again and hesitated.

Zhang Qianjin and Zhang Sheng, who were responsible for capturing Xu Nuannuan, were not spared, and her father was also arrested for reporting Xu Nuannuan.

She didn't know how much power Xu Nuannuan had, which also made her feel scared.

She is alone now, with no one to help her. She cannot act rashly, otherwise, she will follow in her father's footsteps and be doomed.

After all, under the threat and instigation of Hu Qingshan, she had already started doing shameful things. If she was discovered, she would be in trouble.

She had to think long-term and come up with other solutions.

It would be best to use someone else to get rid of Xu Nuannuan.

So she thought of Lin Ruyan.

Lin Ruyan and Xu Nuannuan don't get along, so she told Lin Ruyan the news first. If Lin Ruyan can't deal with Xu Nuannuan, she will find a way herself.

As soon as she got off work, she went to find Lin Ruyan. Lin Ruyan was in the educated youth dormitory, writing something imitating Bai Yang's article.

Her feelings for Bai Yang have been deepening over the past few days. She has imagined countless times that she can stand shoulder to shoulder with Bai Yang, treat him as an equal, and stay with him forever.

She even thought that if Bai Yang had a wife, she would find a way to make Bai Yang divorce his wife and take his wife's place herself.

Even if this behavior is somewhat shameful, what does it matter in the face of great love?

She still didn't know where Bai Yang was or what he looked like, but that didn't stop her from having some expectations for these things in her heart.

Bai Yang is an excellent writer. In order to match Bai Yang, she thought of writing articles.

If she wants to be worthy of Bai Yang's excellence, the first thing she needs to do is to improve herself.

The last time she had a dispute with Xu Nuannuan, her manuscript was sent out and never received a response. It was obvious that it had not been accepted.

Her foundation was too poor. Although the road was difficult and the task was arduous, she decided to take this as the starting point and approach Baiyang little by little.

She was lying on the table copying the manuscript when Yu Qingqing came in. There was no one else in the room. Yu Qingqing said it directly.

"Ruyan, I have some important news for you. I saw Xu Nuannuan's parents. They are in our village."

Lin Ruyan was overjoyed when she heard this. Her mother had been looking for Xu Nuannuan's parents.
