Chapter 49
Chen Che: "...Yes, yes, your contribution this time is indeed great. I will definitely apply for more rewards from the bureau."
Hearing this, Ye Fuyue smiled with satisfaction.
When Shen Yao heard her words and saw the smile on her face, he fell into thought.
"Comrade, comrade." The girl's parents brought her to Ye Fuyue and said, "I just heard from the police that you helped them catch the traffickers and saved my daughter's life. If it weren't for you, my daughter might have already..."
The little girl's parents couldn't continue and choked up.
"Comrade, thank you so much, thank you so much." The little girl's parents apologized incoherently.
The little girl also sobbed and said, "Thank you, thank you."
"Comrade, where do you live? Can you tell us? We would like to visit you some other day to thank you properly." said the little girl's father.
Ye Fuyue smiled generously and waved her hand: "Don't thank me, I saved her, and I was also saving myself."
Zhong Lan and Yao's eldest brother also came.
"Fu Yue, thank you." Zhong Lan said solemnly.
The eldest brother of the Yao family also nodded solemnly to Ye Fuyue to express his gratitude.
Ye Fuyue smiled and waved as usual.
Although she did do a great good deed, her purpose in doing it was not simple. She did it for the reward, so Ye Fuyue did not think she was that great.
After taking the statement, they can go back.
When Chen Yao rode Ye Fuyue on his bicycle towards the slum, Ye Fuyue, who was sitting on the back seat, was in a very good mood. Although it was already very late, she didn't feel hungry at all. She had already begun to imagine how much money and tickets Chen Gongan would give her as a reward.
Shen Yao was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "Fu Yue, did you deliberately let the human traffickers catch you?"
Ye Fuyue's expression was blank for a moment.
He is worthy of being her man, he understands her the best.
But how could she admit such a thing? If she admitted such a thing that put herself in danger, Shen Yao would definitely be angry.
So Ye Fuyue lied guiltily: "No."
Shen Yao stopped his bicycle, got off, and faced her. His expression was unprecedentedly serious and cold. His dark, deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people. Seeing this, Ye Fuyue felt even more guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"I know you're brave, resourceful, and quite skilled. But you're facing human traffickers. They're so capable of trafficking women that they don't even consider their own lives. If you fight them alone, and they're really pushed to the limit, or if they have weapons, even guns, they'll do anything. How can you fight them? Even if you can dodge a knife, can you dodge a gun?"
Only then did Ye Fuyue realize the seriousness of the matter.
She prided herself on her martial arts prowess and her inability to suffer a loss. But she forgot this was the 1970s, not the era of better public security. Gun laws hadn't been enacted yet, and it wasn't uncommon for conflicts to escalate into brawls.
Honestly, even if the other party had a knife, she wouldn't be too afraid. But if the other party had a gun, she might not be able to dodge it.
Even someone as skilled as Chen Yao had to retire because he was shot on the battlefield while serving in the army.
Her success in capturing the three traffickers today was definitely due to luck. But if they had more people or had guns, she wouldn't have been so successful.
"I'm sorry, I was too reckless." Ye Fuyue apologized honestly.
Shen Yao sighed, placed his hand on her head, and asked gently, "Are you catching human traffickers for the reward?"
Ye Fuyue lowered her head and nodded.
"Why do you want a reward so much? You have all the money in the house, and my monthly salary is not low. Is it because you don't have enough money to spend?"
"No." Ye Fuyue said, "I just want to make some money."
Shen Yao thought of Ye Fuyue asking him before whether the factory was recruiting workers.
He said, "You want a job?"
"Uh... sort of. I just want to make money."
"If the factory is hiring, I will definitely try to get you a spot. Making money is fine, but your safety is most important. Don't do such dangerous things again. If anything happens to you, what will I do?"
Ye Fuyue looked at Shen Yao, who had a solemn expression, and nodded: "I understand. I won't do it again next time."
Shen Yao patted her head gently and lovingly a few times, then continued riding his bicycle towards the compound.
Ye Fuyue had previously thought that if there would be a reward for assisting the police in catching criminals, then she should often hang out on the streets and catch a few more criminals in exchange for rewards, which would also be a source of income.
At this moment, after Shen Yao had a serious and earnest conversation with her, Ye Fuyue gave up the idea.
Putting aside the fact that she couldn't easily run into criminals, since her husband didn't like it and this was indeed dangerous, how could she be so confident that she was more powerful than armed police officers? She should just wait for a job opportunity or find other ways to make money.
When they returned to the slum, Chen Guifeng and Shen Shun looked at them anxiously at the gate.
Finally seeing their figures, Chen Guifeng and Shen Shun breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're back, finally back! Are you hurt?" Chen Guifeng looked Ye Fuyue up and down.
"Mom, I'm fine. I'm not hurt." Ye Fuyue gave Chen Guifeng a reassuring smile.
"Damn human traffickers! Fortunately you're okay," Chen Guifeng said, still in shock. "You must be hungry. Come inside and eat."
"Have you eaten?" Ye Fuyue asked casually.
“No, we are all waiting for you.” Shen Shun said: “Mom said that she can’t eat until she sees you come back safely, and I can’t eat either.”
Ye Fuyue was touched.
With so many people caring about her and concerned about her safety, she really couldn't act too rashly.
"Sister-in-law, my brother said that you caught the human traffickers, is that right?" Shen Shun asked.
If it were in the past, Ye Fuyue would have boasted about her achievements to Shen Shun with shining eyes. But after being talked to by Shen Yao, especially in front of Shen Yao, Ye Fuyue could no longer brag and could only behave herself.
Shen Yao caught a glimpse of her tangled expression, chuckled, and replied to Shen Shun: “Your sister-in-law caught it.”
He told Shen Shun how Ye Fuyue and Zhong Lan cooperated to catch three human traffickers.
Shen Shun looked at Ye Fuyue with great admiration: "Sister-in-law, you are so amazing! You caught three human traffickers in one go!"
Ye Fuyue smiled contentedly and modestly: "It's okay, not that bad, I'm just lucky."
"Sister-in-law, tell me quickly how you captured those three human traffickers!" Shen Shun urged, as eager as if he was listening to a story.
