Da Zhuang quickly pulled Chang Li away and apologized:
"Sorry, my brother was in a real hurry to use the restroom, he didn't mean anything by it!"
Chang Li then realized what was happening and reluctantly let go of his hand, saying:
"You need to be more careful next time. How can you take so long in the bathroom?"
After saying that, he slipped into the train toilet to cover himself up and slammed the door shut.
Zhong Wanwan and Qiu Zean exchanged a glance. Qiu Zean nodded to her. Zhong Wanwan took the teacup from its hand, took two sips of hot water, and said:
"Grandpa, I feel much better. Don't waste the medicine. If my stomach hurts again later, I'll take the medicine."
Qiu Zean stood protectively behind Zhong Wanwan and whispered:
“They’re watching you too closely. It’s not easy to move around in the car. Wait until 9 p.m., when it’s completely dark, go to the station for some fresh air, and we’ll make the arrest on the platform.”
After 9 o'clock, it was not very clear in many places on the platform, which created an opportunity for Pi San Niang and her group, and also allowed them to make their arrest without alerting others.
Zhong Wanwan nodded, indicating that she understood.
To facilitate their arrest and to prevent Pi San Niang and the others from being too impatient, Zhong Wanwan specifically instructed Song "Grandma" after returning home:
"Grandma, it's getting dark. If you want some fresh air, hurry up and go. Don't get off the bus once it's completely dark. Your eyesight isn't good, so don't fall!"
Grandma Song receives the signal:
"Young lady, you know, as people get older, nothing works for them anymore. When we were young, our eyesight was so sharp, but now it's like we're blind as soon as it gets dark!"
Pi San Niang's mind raced:
"You'd be right! We're getting old, we can't just wander around after dark, otherwise we might bump into something and cause trouble for the children!"
"If the young ones are willing to go down, let them go down together. We won't get involved!"
Following Pi San Niang's words, Zhong Wanwan pulled Pi Dani aside and said:
"Da Ni, let's watch the moon together when it gets dark. Today is the 15th day of the second lunar month, the moon will definitely be big and round!"
Who wants to look at the moon late at night during a cold snap? Pi Dani didn't want to either, but Zhong Wanwan was a good catch, and with Pi San Niang giving her meaningful glances, Pi Dani had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, I want to see the moon too, let's go together!"
Pi Dani cursed Zhong Wanwan in her heart: "She's so idle! Someone like her, if she doesn't get sold, who will? Going to see the moon in this freezing weather, is she seriously ill...?"
Seeing Pi Dani's expression, Zhong Wanwan knew she was being scolded. Zhong Wanwan rolled her eyes. Did she think she was willing to freeze and look at the moon? It was all for catching them!
Seeing that things were settled, Pi Sanniang stood up, clutching her stomach, and said:
"Ouch, my stomach hurts too, I need to go to the toilet."
Pi San Niang quickly got out of her seat and rushed to the restroom. At the restroom door, she ran into Chang Li and Da Zhuang, who were about to leave. Pi San Niang whispered something to them:
“That girl arrives at the station tonight and wants to get off to see the full moon. I’ll have Da Ni go with her. You two be smart and stay behind Da Ni. I’ll hold off those two old men.”
"You two knock her unconscious, then we'll meet up at the next stop!"
Da Zhuang felt something was off about this; he had never seen an opportunity come knocking on his door before. Da Zhuang said, still uneasy:
"Could it be a scam? Who looks at the moon so late at night? What's so interesting about the moon?"
Chang Li curled his lip and said:
"You don't understand, do you? All women are like that. They like things that are flashy but not practical. Isn't that girl's mother the same way? Don't worry about it!"
Chang Li was referring to the woman they had caught ten months ago, who was also the little girl's biological mother.
In this regard, Dazhuang really didn't have much experience. Having learned from the previous incident, Dazhuang, despite his doubts, still chose to listen to Pi Sanniang and Changli.
Zhong Wanwan did not move until 9 p.m.
Since we've already gotten enough information out of Pi Dani, she won't answer any more questions, and it wouldn't be good to alert her further.
Zhong Wanwan simply ignored Pi Dani and lay down on the table, closing her eyes and pretending to sleep.
It wasn't until the 9 o'clock stop was announced that Zhong Wanwan got up, stretched her back, and pulled Pi Dani aside, saying:
"Let's get off the bus together and go admire the moon."
Pi Dani, holding the child, followed Zhong Wanwan out.
As soon as the two left, Changli and Dazhuang followed closely behind and got off the bus.
Seeing how smoothly things were going for them, Pi San Niang couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Now she's all alone. Pi San Niang's eyes darted around as she said:
"Oh dear, Da Ni, why did you take Xiao Ni downstairs? It's cold and the dew is heavy, Xiao Ni will catch a cold. I'll go and bring Xiao Ni back."
After saying that, Pi San Niang left in a hurry.
