Following Song Yueying's suggestion, Captain Hong ordered the police officers to search the entire courtyard thoroughly again.

As darkness approached and the abducted person was still nowhere to be found, Captain Hong and his fellow police officers gradually lost patience.

Captain Hong scratched his buzz cut, looking annoyed. He asked Song Yueying, "Comrade Song, are you sure the person is really hidden in this yard?"

"The captain is right. We've searched this place thoroughly twice, practically digging three feet into the ground. We haven't seen a single person. Is it possible that they're not even in this yard?"

"They say a cunning rabbit has three burrows, but these human traffickers are even more cunning than rabbits, they have more than three burrows."

"If we've made a scene here, and someone was hiding nearby, they've probably already been moved away."

The police officers spoke one after another, all looking at Song Yueying, waiting for her answer.

Looking at the expectant faces of Captain Hong and the police officers, Song Yueying was speechless. The human trafficker named Xiao Wu's eyes were so obvious, yet they had completely ignored him.

If you single-mindedly search using your own methods, it's no wonder you can't find anything.

Song Yueying nodded silently.

A police officer asked, "Comrade Song, can you tell us how you determined that the person was in this yard?"

“He said it.” Song Yueying pointed at Xiao Wu.

As soon as Song Yueying finished speaking, everyone's eyes, except for Song Yueying herself, turned to Xiao Wu.

"You're talking nonsense and framing an innocent person!" Xiao Wu cursed angrily. "I didn't say anything. Don't try to accuse me of being a human trafficker."

"You're such a liar at such a young age. There's definitely something wrong with your thinking. You should be sent to a labor camp."

“I am a cotton mill worker, working hard and contributing to the country. You insist on accusing me of being a human trafficker and even brought the police to search my home. You have ulterior motives.”

"You're trying to sow discord between me and the police officers. You're a despicable criminal. Police officers, arrest her and take her back for questioning. Don't let her escape."

It was immediately clear that Xiao Wu was trying to mask his inner turmoil with anger. Song Yueying remained silent, calmly observing Xiao Wu's powerless rage.

Seeing that Song Yueying wasn't responding to his words, Xiao Wu became even more flustered.

This woman had silently followed Aunt Xu to his place, and even asserted that the person was in the courtyard, implying that she was a capable person.

Could she really have figured out what was going on in this yard?

No way, no way, he must be scaring himself. This woman is so young, she couldn't possibly see through the trickery in this courtyard.

The police officers didn't notice, so she certainly wouldn't either.

After this analysis, Xiao Wu felt more at ease and spoke with more confidence, "I'm just a cotton mill worker, not a human trafficker as you say."

"I work diligently and conscientiously for the country..."

Captain Hong kicked Xiao Wu impatiently and shouted, "Shut up!"

Song Yueying looked up at the sky. Too much time had been wasted; she wouldn't be able to go home today.

well!

Even if she couldn't go home, she had to finish this quickly. Song Yueying walked to the door of a house, turned around and said, "Captain Hong, have two or three comrades move the things out of the house."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's expression changed drastically, and he said urgently, "That's just a woodshed, there's nothing inside except firewood."

"Is that so?" Song Yueying looked at Xiao Wu with a half-smile.

Xiao Wu instantly realized he had said the wrong thing and exposed himself.

Seeing Xiao Wu's anxious look, Captain Hong understood everything.

At his command, the police officers sprang into action once again. Firewood was thrown out of the house, and soon exclamations of joy could be heard from inside.

"Found them! The person is really here! We've found them!"

"These beasts hid people underground; no wonder we couldn't find them."

Some are happy, some are sad.

Hearing the cheers and curses from inside the house, Xiao Wu and Aunt Xu felt utterly hopeless. It was all over; they were completely finished.

Thinking of the person who exposed them, the two glared fiercely at Song Yueying, wishing they could eat her flesh and drink her blood.

Cries could be heard coming from inside the house, and soon the victim was brought out.

Five young women, aged between fifteen and twenty. Six children, both boys and girls, under ten years old.

There were eleven women in total, all with gaunt, pale faces and unsteady steps. They arrived in the courtyard and knelt before Captain Hong and the police officers, weeping as they expressed their gratitude.

The police officers quickly helped the people up, and Captain Hong sent people to take the eleven victims to the hospital.

Because there weren't many police officers present, Song Yueying was conscripted and, along with several other officers, escorted the victim to the hospital.

Back at the hospital, Song Yueying stared blankly at the dark sky outside the window.

The police officers needed to settle eleven victims, and she didn't want to cause them any trouble. After thinking it over, she decided to spend the night in Qi Yanjue's hospital room.

Upon arriving at the ward door, Song Yueying hadn't even had a chance to knock...

A nurse pushed past her, opened the ward door, and shouted loudly inside, "Dr. Zhao, are you in there?"

"What is it?" Dr. Zhao's voice came from the ward.

The nurse said, "Dr. Zhao, emergency."

A moment later, Dr. Zhao appeared before the two. Seeing Song Yueying standing behind the nurse, he asked in surprise, "Didn't you leave?"

"I left, but as you can see, I'm back now." Song Yueying's tone was somewhat sharp. She was already quite upset, and Dr. Zhao just had to bring up the very thing she didn't want to talk about.

Her first day after transmigrating was quite eventful.

She was surrounded and attacked, rescued by others, helped others in passing, helped foreigners, encountered human traffickers, and rescued others again. She experienced more in one day than she had in the year before she transmigrated.

Dr. Zhao twitched his lips. There was nothing wrong with what he said, and he had no reply.

"What did you just say was an emergency?" Dr. Zhao asked the nurse.

The nurse replied, "Several police officers just brought eleven women and children to the emergency room. They said they had been abducted by human traffickers, and they rescued them."

"The on-duty doctor is too busy and remembered that you haven't returned to your dormitory yet, so he asked me to ask you to come and help."

"Understood." Dr. Zhao turned back and said to the ward, "I'll go check on the situation."

"Hmm," came a faint response from inside.

After Dr. Zhao and the nurse left, Song Yueying stepped into the ward. She went straight to the bed; she would have to spend the night in the ward and definitely needed to tell Qi Yanjue.

“You can sit up now. Dr. Zhao didn’t scold you.” Song Yueying asked this question completely subconsciously.

Qi Yanjue, who was leaning against the headboard of the hospital bed, looked up at her and asked in a low voice, "Why did you come back?"

For some reason, he felt that Song Yueying's return must mean something had happened.

"I can't go back after dark, so I'll just stay in your ward for the night." Fearing that Qi Yanjue would refuse, Song Yueying added, "Don't worry, I'll leave as soon as it's light tomorrow."
