Chapter 39
Boss Zheng only told Zheng Dahu, "Just don't mess with her."
He didn't want to catch his son cheating on his partner again.
Zheng Dahu spat.
What tricks could a little girl like her have?
Even if you're a bit strong, it's not a big deal.
Out of consideration for Er Ya's fighting skills, Zheng Dahu did not want to confront her directly. His wrist still aches like it's being pricked.
"Oh, right, Dad, I have a boyfriend, and we're getting married."
"That's great! Whose is it?"
“A girl from the city,” Zheng Dahu said shyly, “her father is the head of the supply and marketing station, and she is a sales clerk.”
Old Zheng is not entirely stupid. This girl comes from such a good family, how could she possibly be interested in Da Hu?
Zheng Dahu proudly said, "Women are all the same, easily deceived by emotions. I just set up a trap to save her once, and she fell head over heels in love with me."
Old Master Zheng was also very happy, "Hahaha, my son has made something of himself."
He didn't think there was anything wrong with Zheng Dahu deceiving people's feelings and getting married; he only thought his son was amazing for being able to win over a city girl.
“But this woman is easy to fool, her family is not so easy to fool. Her father said that I need to have a formal job in the city before he will marry his daughter to me.” Zheng Dahu looked at Zheng Laoda. “Dad, I am the eldest grandson of the family. I will be the pillar of the family in the future. Now that I have such an opportunity to become a city dweller and to have a good family as my wife, my family cannot hold me back.”
"Don't worry, I won't hold you back." Old Zheng said excitedly, "I'm going to find your grandfather."
Zheng Nanle withdrew his mental energy.
He realized that Zheng Dahu had returned because of this matter.
This has nothing to do with her. As long as Old Man Zheng fulfills his promise to her, she has no objection to how the rest of the family property is divided.
But I still felt something was off.
Zheng Dahu came back because of this matter, but what about Zheng Daya?
Wasn't she preparing to get married in the city?
Zheng Daya was good-looking and had attended high school. In Zheng Laowu's eyes, she was his niece and a resource that he could use to curry favor with others.
Whether Daya finds a man from a good family or a city man from a good family who has some flaws but doesn't mind being from a rural background, it will be beneficial for her.
Da Ya graduated from high school. She was beautiful and had a gentle temperament. Even though she was born in the countryside, she was still presentable. If she were to be arranged a job in the city, she would be even more outstanding than some girls from certain urban families.
Therefore, it's normal for Zheng Dahu to go home, but it's unusual for Zheng Daya to go home.
Could it be that Zheng Daya didn't want to get married, so she went home?
Zheng Nanle thought about it for a moment and then put the matter aside. Although Zheng Daya did not bully Er Ya at home and had helped Er Ya in private, she was actually a beneficiary as well. Zheng Nanle did not have any ill feelings towards her, but she did not have much affection for her either.
Zheng Nanle was very happy at home. There were no Zheng family members jumping around in front of her, and her beloved little brother would hug and kiss her from time to time. She was so happy that she didn't want to go back to the county town.
Lu Guangbai originally planned to get Zheng Nanle a bicycle so she could ride it to the commune. Once there, the bicycle would be stored in the small house Xie Ronghua had secretly bought, and then she could take a bus to the county town.
It takes several hours to walk from the commune to the village along mountain roads.
Zheng Nanle refused.
She discovered a shortcut that led her through the mountains to the neighboring Hongxing Commune. From Hongxing Commune to the county bus station, she would pass the Public Security Bureau, and the journey would take less than half an hour.
Although the mountain road was a bit difficult to walk, the bus ride was shorter, and she loved it.
With a reluctant kiss to Lu Guangbai, Zheng Nanle headed to the county town with a gloomy face. She set off at around 5 a.m. because of that shortcut, she didn't have to leave a day in advance and could return that same night instead of waiting until the next day.
Lu Guangbai watched Zheng Nanle's departing figure, touched his belly, and decided to gain some weight. Nanle was becoming more and more beautiful, while he remained the same, looking out of place standing next to her.
Moreover, don't think he was unaware of her dissatisfaction with her figure.
snort.
After leaving the deep mountains and walking along a small path, they would reach the Red Star Commune. Zheng Nanle looked at the sky and saw that the east was already bright, so he quickened his pace.
Just then, a woman dressed in a floral cloth dress with braided pigtails rushed out of the nearby woods, followed by a burly man and an old woman with gray hair. When the woman saw Zheng Nanle, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed Zheng Nanle's hand, pleading, "Girl, save me."
Another old woman ran over and grabbed Zheng Nanle's other hand. "Girl, don't listen to her nonsense. She's my daughter-in-law. She's fallen for another man and wants to elope with him. Let her run away, she even took all our money with her. And my grandson, who's only three years old, is crying terribly for his mother. There's nothing we can do but find her and bring her back."
“You’re talking nonsense. I’m not your daughter-in-law. I was just passing by this morning when you and your son tried to drag me away.”
The old woman and the girl in the floral dress held Zheng Nanle's hands tightly on either side, arguing back and forth in a loud and urgent voice, their mouths moving like a machine gun, constantly spewing out words.
Zheng Nanle looked at this person, then at that person, tilting her head to look at whoever spoke, swaying back and forth like a roly-poly toy in a short time.
The remaining burly man, who had been standing not far away, saw that Zheng Nanle's attention was drawn to the old woman and the girl. He quietly went around behind Zheng Nanle, raised his hand, and covered Zheng Nanle's mouth and nose with the handkerchief in his palm.
This should have been a foolproof plan. His movements were skillful, and the girl's attention wasn't on him. Like countless other girls before her, she would have collapsed softly.
But, as expected, something unexpected happened. Just as he raised his hand, his wife and mother flew out, and when his dark eyes met the girl's, he was instantly sent flying as well.
Zheng Nanle cursed and swore, then stepped forward and slapped the burly man across the face.
She was in a bad mood, so she figured she might as well take advantage of the free punching bag that was offered to her.
The old woman and the girl in the floral dress got up from the ground, preparing to sneak away. Zheng Nanle caught up with them in a few steps, slapping them left and right. The two of them spun around like tops and fell onto the strong man.
Zheng Nanle dislocated the hands and feet of the three men, ignoring their screams, and went to search the vicinity, where he indeed found a straw rope.
She reattached the three men's hands and feet, tied them with straw rope, and continued walking towards the commune.
The three of them stared at Zheng Nanle as if he were some kind of devil.
They resort to violence at the slightest disagreement, without saying a word. Where do such ruthless people come from?
Also, where is she taking them? Are they going to kill and dismember them?
They engaged in the heinous crime of buying and selling people, yet they were terrified of death.
What puzzled them even more was how she knew they were wrong.
In the past, when they did this, the girls who were alone or even in groups of two or three couldn't see through the scheme. They were easily distracted by his sister and mother's argument and were easily taken advantage of by him.
If Zheng Nanle knew their questions, he would only sneer in disdain.
When someone is arguing and asking for help, do they hold both of their hands?
Furthermore, this kind of scam has been covered in anti-fraud videos for a long time now; it's nothing new.
However, this incident reminded Zheng Nanle that she could compile the tactics used by human traffickers in later generations and use them as a form of anti-fraud propaganda.
If her small act can raise awareness among more people and prevent many tragedies in the world, she is happy to do it.
As they approached the main road of the commune and began to see pedestrians, the old woman rolled her eyes and was about to speak loudly when Zheng Nanle moved the straw rope in his hand and wrapped it around the old woman's neck. The old woman immediately felt a pain in her neck and swallowed the words she was about to say, feeling extremely uncomfortable and suffocated.
She held onto the straw rope, trying to breathe fresh air, but the rope was tightly locked around her neck. The old woman felt dizzy and her vision went black. When the rope loosened, she was able to breathe fresh air again.
She coughed, took deep breaths, and dared not cause any more trouble.
Upon seeing this, the burly man and the girl in the floral shirt became even more obedient.
Zheng Nanle avoided people and went to the commune's armed forces department, then went inside.
The staff on night duty noticed Zheng Nanle, glanced at him, and then at the three people behind him. Just as they were about to ask what had happened, Zheng Nanle took out his police ID and said that there were human traffickers behind him. He asked if he could borrow a phone.
Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, the staff could only nod blankly and lead the way, giving up their phones.
An hour later, Hua Chang arrived with two colleagues, excitedly patted Zheng Nanle on the shoulder, and praised, "Good girl, well done!"
Human trafficking, another major case.
If the case is solved and the abducted girl is rescued, at least a third-class merit award will be awarded.
Zheng Nanle nodded calmly.
A person of her caliber can shine in any field.
