The few onlookers were just there for the spectacle; once they realized there was nothing more to see, they immediately dispersed.
Liu Dinglan's mouth was tightly covered by the human traffickers, and she was beginning to despair. Just then, she saw Xia Qingqing not far away, and her eyes lit up instantly. She desperately blinked at Xia Qingqing: Save me.
It was only at this moment that Xia Qingqing saw the girl's face clearly. She was a little surprised. Wasn't this the girl she had seen at the supply and marketing cooperative last time?
At this moment, the human trafficker couple had already begun to plan to leave with Liu Dinglan. Xia Qingqing immediately patted Liang Shuang's hand: "Shuangshuang, these two are probably really human traffickers. Go and call the police, I'll go help."
"Hey, Qingqing, wait a minute," Liang Shuang grabbed Xia Qingqing's arm before she could figure out what was going on.
Xia Qingqing looked at Liang Shuang anxiously: "Shuangshuang, it's too late. You should go and call the police first. I'll stall them for now."
Liang Shuang didn't want Xia Qingqing to face the two human traffickers alone. What if Qingqing herself got hurt after they failed to save her?
But seeing that Xia Qingqing had already run in that direction, she could only grit her teeth and run towards the police station. She needed to hurry and call the police.
Xia Qingqing quickly ran up to the human traffickers and blocked their way: "Stop!"
The human traffickers were blocked by Xia Qingqing. They cursed their bad luck inwardly, thinking that someone had to cause trouble at such a crucial moment.
Seeing that Xia Qingqing had actually come out to help her, Liu Dinglan felt a glimmer of hope. She kept twisting her body, unwilling to cooperate with the human trafficker's escape attempts.
Upon seeing this, a cold glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he struck Liu Dinglan's neck forcefully, causing Liu Dinglan to instantly lose consciousness.
He was getting anxious, worried that dragging things out would attract the police, so he looked at Xia Qingqing with malice: "Little girl, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."
Seeing him knock Liu Dinglan unconscious, Xia Qingqing was also afraid that he would become enraged and harm Liu Dinglan, so she warned him:
"The smart ones should release the people quickly. I've already sent my accomplice to report to the police. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
Middle-aged women are ultimately a bit weak in mental fortitude. Hearing that Xia Qingqing had already reported the incident to the police, she anxiously patted the man's arm and said, "How about we just forget about it and go?"
As long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood.
The man glared at the middle-aged woman: "She said she reported it to the police, so she did? How can you be so easily fooled? Maybe she's just bluffing us."
As he spoke, he took a serious look at Xia Qingqing. Seeing her outstanding appearance, he was slightly moved. Compared to the one he had knocked out, Xia Qingqing's appearance was obviously more valuable, and he instantly had the idea of replacing her.
Seeing that Xia Qingqing was thin and weak, the middle-aged man gave the woman a wink, put Liu Dinglan down, and then attacked Xia Qingqing.
Xia Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they had let go of Liu Dinglan; she could finally act freely.
She grabbed the man's wrist as he attacked, twisted it forcefully, and then kicked him hard in the groin.
"Ah...ah," the middle-aged man didn't expect the girl to be so ruthless. He only had time to stare at Xia Qingqing with wide eyes before he was writhing on the ground in pain.
Seeing the man subdued, the middle-aged woman looked at Xia Qingqing with a hint of ferocity in her eyes. She pulled out a dagger from her pocket and stabbed at Xia Qingqing, saying, "Little Bego, I'll teach you to mind your own business."
Xia Qingqing's pupils contracted slightly, and she quickly dodged to the side. Even though she was fast enough, the woman still managed to tear a hole in her sleeve.
Seeing that the woman still wouldn't give up and was stabbing at her again with the dagger, Xia Qingqing suddenly raised her leg and kicked the woman's wrist.
The woman's right hand suddenly lost its strength, the dagger fell to the ground with a clatter, and then she was kicked away by Xia Qingqing.
Xia Qingqing was still angry because she had almost been injured. She strode over and stepped on the woman's fingers, grinding them hard twice to vent her anger.
Such a commotion quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers.
An older woman, seeing Xia Qingqing's fierce appearance, shrank back in fear: "How can this girl be so ruthless? Who are those two people on the ground?"
"I don't know what's going on, but it looks pretty serious. Should we help you report it to the police?"
No sooner had the man finished speaking than Liang Shuang arrived with several police officers.
"Qingqing, are you alright? Let me see you quickly," Liang Shuang checked Xia Qingqing's body immediately. When she saw Xia Qingqing's torn sleeve, she was so frightened that she almost cried.
Xia Qingqing gave Liang Shuang a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine. The ones who are in trouble are these two people on the ground."
The police officers nearby had already tied up the man on the ground. Hearing Xia Qingqing's words, they couldn't help but ask, "Miss, did you subdue this man?"
“Yes, that girl is the one who was almost kidnapped by them,” Xia Qingqing pointed to Liu Dinglan, who had been knocked unconscious by the human traffickers.
The police officer nodded knowingly and gave Xia Qingqing a thumbs up: "You're really amazing, a woman who's just as capable as any man."
"However, we'll need you to come with us to the police station to give a statement."
Xia Qingqing nodded in agreement, and at that moment Liu Dinglan slowly woke up.
After opening her eyes, she looked around in a panic and curled up into a ball.
The police officer standing guard by her side immediately reassured her, "Comrade, don't worry, the human trafficker has been subdued, you're safe now."
Upon hearing this, Liu Dinglan finally broke down in tears: "Waaah, you scared me to death."
After venting her fear, she immediately thought of Xia Qingqing, who had come to save her.
With teary, blurry eyes, she searched everywhere for Xia Qingqing. When she saw Xia Qingqing talking to the police, her eyes lit up, and she smiled at Xia Qingqing.
The three of them went back to the police station with the police to give their statements, and then arranged for someone to go to the textile factory to notify Liu Dinglan's parents.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu arrived at the police station with great anxiety. When they saw their daughter sitting in a chair with red and swollen eyes, Mrs. Liu couldn't hold back her tears.
Holding her daughter tightly, she choked back tears and said, "Lanlan, you scared your mother to death! How could I live if something happened to you?"
"It's good that she's alright, it's good that she's alright," Mr. Liu secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Heaven knows how devastated he felt when he heard the police officers say that his daughter had almost been abducted by human traffickers.
When Liu Dinglan saw her parents, she couldn't hold back her emotions anymore and threw herself into her mother's arms, letting out a good cry: "Mom, I almost didn't get to see you again."
"Mom's here, Lanlan, don't be afraid."
