Pfft~
Zhang Tong and Han Shuyun burst into laughter, laughing so hard they almost fell over, completely abandoning any semblance of decorum they should have shown in public.
Infected by them, Shishi and Xiaoshi went from pouting slightly to laughing out loud.
Although Chou Chou didn't laugh out loud, the arm holding Nan Nan was trembling incessantly.
Nannan blinked her big, watery eyes, stared blankly at the four people who suddenly burst into laughter, and asked Chou Chou:
“Long, tree, cloth smile.”
Chou Chou politely suppressed her smile, afraid that she would overthink things, and earnestly explained to her.
"The grape seeds are digested once you eat them. Humans don't grow into trees, so there's nothing to worry about."
"Cloth, long?"
Upon hearing the incredible good news, Nannan tilted her head anxiously to confirm, a tear sliding down her eyelashes and leaving a trail of water on her temple.
Chou Chou hummed in agreement and took out a small towel she always carried to wipe her face clean.
"Although it doesn't grow trees, you can't eat the seeds later. You're still too young, and you might not be able to digest hard things."
Nannan suddenly understood why everyone was laughing at her. It turned out that she had made a fool of herself. She blushed with embarrassment and buried her face in Chou Chou's arms, refusing to look up.
That's so embarrassing.
*
Lu's parents and in-laws left the island one after another. Based on the dates given by the men for the family members to visit, Shishi counted the time on her fingers.
Just as she was about to go to the gate to welcome the God of Wealth, Chief Xiao, who had finished his morning training, brought back bad news.
A group of young girls traveling from the north to the south were abducted along the way—not just one or two, but twenty or thirty.
We boarded different buses in different places, but got off at the same place.
I heard that the missing little girl was quite pretty.
The human traffickers were brazen and extremely arrogant. They were clever in their methods; instead of drugging and taking them away, they used hallucinogenic drugs to make the women walk off the bus on their own.
Oh no, from the traffickers' perspective, it might be: these are all good stuff, selling them will bring in huge sums of money, and they'll be rich.
The call to the camp came from the Public Security Bureau of a county in City A, the same county where the person had stopped when the disappearance occurred. It was the second stop on the way back from City G.
Most of the missing girls were accompanied by relatives. When the train stopped at the station and the people left, they assumed the girls were going to the toilet and didn't pay much attention.
When the train departed and no one returned, they realized something was wrong and began searching.
If someone goes missing, it's possible they went to the wrong carriage. One after another, family members went looking for their loved ones, and when they couldn't find them, they panicked, causing quite a commotion on the train.
The train conductor belatedly realized the seriousness of the situation and, upon inquiring, discovered that not only had little girls accompanied by family members gone missing, but many others who had traveled alone had also gone missing.
The information provided by fellow travelers around the empty seats and the unclaimed luggage are the most compelling evidence.
People from all over the country coincidentally ended up on the same train, which led to this incident.
In a moment of panic, the train stopped halfway through the journey, and the train conductor sent someone back to the county town they had just passed to report the incident.
Comrade Gong'an learned from the accompanying family members that they were all visiting relatives on the island. He also found letters from the island and a note with the island's address among the unclaimed luggage, which led to the incoming phone call.
Normally, human traffickers would use sedatives to drug people, put them in bags, and carry them away like luggage.
To ensure that no one would suspect anything in case something happened, the amount of sedatives carried would not be too much. How could a large amount of hallucinogenic drugs suddenly appear?
Xiao Dan had a gut feeling that something was wrong; it didn't seem like the work of ordinary human traffickers.
"Xiao Xie, you immediately lead a team to City A to investigate this matter, assist the local authorities, and make every effort to rescue those innocent women."
These women all came because of her daughter's plan. Although her daughter meant well, the little girl's disappearance was not her doing...
But everyone has two sides to their nature. There are many reasonable people in the world, but there are also many who get stuck on trivial matters. If you encounter a family that tries to exchange their daughter for a dowry, it will be very difficult to end the conflict once it gets out of hand.
He was unwilling and would not allow his innocent daughter to be thrust into the limelight.
Just as she was about to eat breakfast, she heard this news. Shishi felt like she had been struck by lightning, and she was both angry and anxious.
Those were her clients, the gods of wealth who gave her red envelopes; nothing could happen to them.
"Hey, hurry up, I need to kill them and take back my God of Wealth."
Ugly and Little Master couldn't sit still any longer. They put down their bowls and chopsticks and stood up. "Brother, we want to go too!"
"Don't worry, I'll go and get the team ready. You guys quickly eat breakfast and then go home to get your luggage and backpacks. We'll meet up at Houtan in a bit."
There's always a bag at home, made by Guagua.
The bag contained a set of clothes for each of the four men, two towels, two military water bottles, a small stack of money and national bills, in case the mission was urgent and there was no time to pack.
"good."
After quickly finishing their porridge, Shishi and Xiaoshi rushed out of the courtyard, while Chou Chou was hugged by Nannan's legs.
“Utensils, utensils.”
Ugly was in a dilemma. "Nannan, you're too young to go. How about you wait until you're older?"
"Be good, wait at home on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. When your brother comes back, he'll bring you delicious food and fun things."
Time was of the essence, so Zhang Tong quickly went to hug the little girl. "Nannan is a good child. We can't delay the rescue. Be good, let's wait at home for your older brother and sister to come back."
Although Nannan felt wronged, she obediently let go, pouting and looking unhappy.
It's not that we don't want her to go, but that she's too young to go.
She wants to grow up quickly and become as capable as her older brothers and sisters.
