“I suspect they may have given the child sleeping pills or other sedatives. Many traffickers give these kinds of drugs in advance to prevent the children from crying and causing trouble later.”

Li Qingqing's eyebrows furrowed: "How could they dare to give such young children such medications with such severe side effects?"

Human traffickers only care about their own interests; once they get their hands on a child, the child is just an object in their eyes.

All they had to do was deliver the child to the buyer without making a fuss, so that nothing else was ever a consideration for them.

"This is just our speculation. There is no concrete evidence yet. We will keep an eye on the children before we arrive at the station. I will find an opportunity to verify it then. If it is indeed as we speculate, I will find a way to expose them."

Li Qingqing felt that Shu Ying made some sense. If a mother saw her lovely child in her arms, how could she resist teasing him?

But the woman seemed only immersed in being a loving couple with the man, and she held the child in her arms tightly. The child was wrapped up so tightly that his face was barely visible.

"I'll follow your lead and act accordingly. If anything goes wrong, don't take any risks."

On the way to the capital, the two of them were each other's only companions, and any trouble that happened to either of them was devastating news.

Shu Ying smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

I don't know how much time passed, but the train stopped at a station it was passing through for two minutes.

Shu Ying became nervous, not expecting the train to arrive at the station so quickly. She took her water bottle in advance and went to the water room to block the two people's way. Fortunately, they were not getting off at this station.

Li Qingqing didn't dare to turn around and look. Shu Ying only came back after the train doors closed.

There was still one seat missing opposite her. The man next to her with a standing ticket saw that the train had already departed and no one had come yet. Just as he was about to sit down, a pale-faced woman walked over.

"Excuse me, this is my seat."

The man glanced at her; the woman had beautiful features, but her face was very pale.

Perhaps because she was running so fast, there were still beads of sweat on her forehead and dark circles under her eyes.

She looked terrible, especially her upper lip, which was covered in scabs, as if she had been hit.

The other person looked rather disheveled, and Shu Ying couldn't help but glance at them a few more times. Realizing she had offended them, she quickly looked away.

Li Qingqing looked at Shu Ying, who had sat down, and moved closer to her: "Yingying, don't you think the woman sitting next to you looks a lot like your husband?"

But she clearly saw Xie Zhiyan's older sister at Shu Ying and Xie Zhiyan's wedding.

How could there be anyone in this world more like Xie Zhiyan than his own sister?

(Shu Ying unlocks an important character on the train, so this part of the plot can't be skipped. Shu Ying's meeting with Xie Zhiyan won't be long; they'll meet soon!)
