Chapter 123 It's all fate



In reality, Sun Gong'an and his men are only here to stall for time; the situation here has already been reported to the Armed Forces Department.

After all, these people have very advanced weapons, and the police alone certainly can't handle them.

But can anyone tell him what happened? Which passing hero took care of these people?

Moreover, looking at the injuries on the human traffickers, he suddenly had the illusion that heroes are cruel.

"This...it's all broken? With such a lot of bleeding, it's unusable, isn't it?" The young police officer pointed stiffly at the crotch of a human trafficker.

The others looked in the direction he pointed, and in unison quickened their pace.

Which hero is so ruthless? No wonder he was able to subdue these human traffickers!

"Alright, the person is still alive. Don't say any more, quickly take the person back, and then go inside to check if there are any other people who have been abducted."

Sun Gong'an reached under their noses several times to check their breathing, and after confirming that they had just fainted from the pain, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though they couldn't figure it out, they had no choice but to tie the person up and take them back.

When he saw the abducted women and children inside the house, Officer Sun's anger flared up, and he became even more certain that these were definitely not ordinary human traffickers.

Now we finally understand why that hero who stood up for justice used such a heavy hand!

"Brother Sun, look what this is?" A policeman pointed to the needle stuck in the human trafficker's neck.

Sun Gong'an walked over and took a look: "This needle is quite long. Did they get knocked out by the needle? Everyone come and take a look. See if anyone else has a needle like this."

Meanwhile, Xia Wan, the hero they were thinking about, had already gone to the supply and marketing cooperative. After all, he had come out, and he would feel like he was missing out if he didn't buy something.

Besides, the brigade leader is going to pick up the educated youth, and he probably won't be back for a while. If she goes to the commune gate, she'll just be waiting on the oxcart, so she might as well wander around outside.

"Hello comrade, I need two boxes of face cream, a thermos, a pound of peach shortbread, half a pound of brown sugar, and a pound of White Rabbit milk candy..." Xia Wan told the salesperson everything she needed.

Actually, all the things she mentioned are available in the mall, but they're too expensive to buy in the mall as they cost over 100 points.

She desperately needs points right now, so she'll just buy them with money; she has enough money tickets anyway.

The sales clerk handed her the items expressionlessly: "It's 12.3 yuan in total, including a pound of sugar coupons and two industrial coupons."

Xia Wan took out the money and handed it over, then left with her bags and belongings.

It was only when Xia Wan took money from her spatial storage that she accidentally glanced at the tranquilizer gun and realized that she had forgotten to retract the tranquilizer needle she had fired.

However, the police have already gone there, so she can't go back to retrieve it. She can only keep this in mind and be more careful when using a tranquilizer gun in the future.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Xia Wan planned to go to the scrap metal recycling station. Isn't this a must-visit place for time travelers?

She's been in this world for quite a while now, and I happened to have some free time today, so I went to visit her.

The scrap yard is located at the end of a narrow street, surrounded by dilapidated houses and abandoned factories.

At the entrance of the scrap metal recycling station, just like in the novels I'd read before, sat a thin old man, holding a large tea mug in his arms, leisurely drinking hot water.

Xia Wan greeted him with a smile: "Hello, sir. I'm a former educated youth who came to the countryside. The walls at the educated youth settlement are crumbling, and I'd like to find some old newspapers to paste on the walls."

Xia Wan casually uttered a very common and overused excuse, which the old man guarding the gate believed without a doubt.

The old man waved his hand very generously: "Go ahead, go ahead."

"Thank you, sir. Here, have some candy." Xia Wan casually took out two candies and handed them to the old man, then walked inside with a smile.

The scrap metal recycling station was very rudimentary, with the yard piled high with all sorts of scrap, including old bicycles, rusty iron pots, and broken furniture.

Xia Wan wandered through a pile of junk, trying to find something useful. It was a pity, though; the only useful things you could find at a junkyard were things written in novels or acted out in TV dramas.

It seems the good stuff has already been taken. She really did come and search for a long time but couldn't find a single useful item, though she did find quite a few books.

If the college entrance examination is reinstated in the future, it might come in handy, so Xia Wan wouldn't mind putting it directly into her space.

Shoeboxes are getting bigger and bigger these days; they might be able to hold a lot of things in the future. Looks like I can't miss out on the raffle.

Having only brought back some books from the scrap metal collection station, Xia Wan didn't bother to hide anything. She simply grabbed a few stacks of waste newspapers and a broken wooden box and went straight to the entrance to pay.

Xia Wan handed the old man three cents, thanked him, and turned to leave.

The reason she took the box afterward was because she noticed that the weight of the box was not right, so she decided to take it home to check.

The surrounding area was full of abandoned houses and hardly anyone around. Xia Wan was too lazy to wander around any longer, so she decided to go directly to the place where she had arranged to meet the captain.

I don't know if this group of educated youth will arrive at the same time as the train they took before. If it is, she will probably have to wait a while longer.

Xia Wan was unaware that two troublesome sisters were on their way to find her.

She was now wondering how long Old Lady Xia could hold on, and whether her plan could be realized before Old Man Xia was released.

From afar, Xia Wan could see the brigade leader squatting in a row of oxcarts, chatting with several old men behind him. It seemed that those men were there to pick up the educated youth, and everyone seemed quite enthusiastic.

Xia Wan walked over and greeted him, "Uncle, I'm back."

Coincidentally, right next to him was the dark-skinned man who had argued with Wu Guohua about switching educated youths last time.

The captain looked up when he heard the voice, and the wrinkles on his face deepened instantly, his eyes almost disappearing with laughter: "Xia Wan is back, we were just talking about you."

Xia Wan raised an eyebrow, looked at him with a puzzled expression, and smiled, "You mean me? What do I have to say?"

The captain beamed and boasted, "Of course, I'm talking about the reward you received from above. Sigh... Who would have thought that you, such a petite girl, would be so strong and able to catch wanted criminals and human traffickers?"

As Wu Guohua spoke, his eyes kept glancing at the accountant of the brigade behind the mountain. Judging from his ugly face, he must be regretting it to the core right now.

I heard that some of the educated youth in the Houshan Brigade are causing quite a stir. Forget about bringing any honor to the brigade, their brigade leader would be grateful if they didn't cause any trouble.

The accountant of the Shanhou Brigade curled his lip: "Alright, stop showing off. It was you who used tricks to replace the person I was supposed to have."

Wu Guohua wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "You can't say that. It was you who disliked Xia Wan because she was a female educated youth and insisted on changing her."

"If you ask me, I'd say it's lucky that Xia Wan was transferred to our brigade, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to find her biological parents. It's all fate."
