"Can the police station just sit back and do nothing about these unscrupulous and morally devoid human traffickers?"
Qin Wan finally couldn't hold back his inner anger and asked indignantly.
Her beautiful and determined eyes flashed with anger, as if she wanted to burn those hateful people to ashes.
The people on the side echoed and expressed the same indignation and confusion.
After hearing this, the old bull head said calmly:
"Of course we will take care of it, but the question is, how could it be so coincidental that the police could appear at the scene just when the traffickers were trying to arrest people?
Mr. Chen also said earnestly:
"Everyone, please be extra cautious when you go out in the future. It's best to travel with companions, especially female educated youth like you. You are young, beautiful, and educated, and you are the target of human traffickers."
Hearing this, Wang Liming couldn't help but frown and asked the elder known as Mr. Niu with a worried look on her face: "But, if unfortunately we really encounter such a situation, what should we do? We can't just watch innocent people fall into the clutches of the devil!"
Her voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that her heart was filled with fear and anxiety.
Zhou Dongmei also interjected, her tone heavy, "These human traffickers are so arrogant and reckless. Are we really helpless and unable to do anything about them?"
As she spoke, she shook her head and sighed, her eyes filled with deep worry and melancholy.
She had been glad to have gone to the countryside. While it was a little poor, it was also very humane. Unlike back home, where she was constantly bullied by her cousins because she lived under someone else's roof, she was not.
Although my uncle and aunt never bullied me, they never treated me kindly either.
As an orphan of a martyr and having a job, I should not have gone to the countryside as an educated youth. However, my aunt found me and suggested that I go to the countryside instead of my cousin. Her words implied that they had taken care of me and I should be grateful.
In fact, it’s bullshit. If it weren’t for the house my parents left to me and my father’s pension, they wouldn’t come to my house to take care of me.
Moreover, do they really take care of themselves under the guise of taking care of themselves?
After they arrived at my house, they only showed concern for me for a few days, just to show off to outsiders. But once everyone accepted them, they immediately took over my house and revealed their true colors.
Not only do I have to serve them food and drink, but I also have to clean, wash clothes, and cook. If I wasn't afraid of what outsiders would say, I probably wouldn't even be allowed to go to school.
They lived in her house, used her money, and said that they were taking care of her and asked her to be grateful to them. How could she have the nerve to say that?
Fortunately, I hid the house deed and the passbook left by my father very carefully. No matter how they threatened or tempted me, I said I didn't know. Otherwise, I might have been eaten up by them without leaving anything behind.
I thought I had found a good place this time when I went to the countryside. The villagers were simple and honest, and the educated youth were kind. It was a happy place. But I didn't expect that I had arrived at a den of human traffickers. It seems that I have to be more careful in the future.
"What else can we do? Apart from being careful and not being alone, there is no other way." Chen Dajia curled his lips and said disdainfully.
Human traffickers only abduct young girls and children. They don't want a rural woman like her, who's around 50. And her three sons are all grown up, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.
But it was too early for her to be relieved. Just as Chen Dajia was thinking this, she heard Mr. Niu say:
"Mr. Chen, don't think you're safe. They want older women too. They can send them to the mountain retreats to be wives, but the pay is a little less. And those young boys, I heard, are wanted by human traffickers too. They can be used to farm."
As if he saw what Mrs. Chen was thinking, Old Man Niu teased her jokingly while driving the cattle.
Mr. Chen was no joke, and laughed as soon as he heard it: "Old Niu, you're just trying to fool these young people who haven't seen much of the world, but you're kidding me? That's a bit childish. Don't think I don't know what kind of temper you have, old man."
"Aunt Chen, what's Uncle Niu's temper like?" Liu Dong asked with great interest. The others also stared at her with wide eyes.
"What kind of temper? He just likes to joke around. What he said is probably from the past. I did hear that there was a bandit village here, but it was taken over by the government not long after liberation."
As soon as she said this, the heavy atmosphere in the car dissipated.
Wang Liming, Zhou Hongmei and others laughed and said, "So they were lying to us."
"Mr. Chen, you mentioned that this was once a bandit village. Think about it, there's an old saying that goes, 'It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature.' Even though this village has been taken over by the government, can those bandit habits be changed?"
Old Man Niu seemed to have suffered a great injustice, the veins on his neck were bulging, and he argued very seriously:
"In the past two years, they were more restrained and didn't dare to do anything too extreme, so the government turned a blind eye. But now, it's hard to describe. Especially in the past month or two, these human traffickers seem to have gone crazy, doing things without thinking about their own interests. It's really scary."
Mr. Chen certainly knew that he had been living in a small village for many years, and the information he obtained was definitely not as timely and accurate as that of Old Man Niu.
After hearing what Old Man Niu said, his heart couldn't help but suddenly tightened. With some doubts and uneasiness, he carefully sought confirmation:
"Master, you really didn't lie to us?"
The five educated youths also looked at Grandpa Niu.
Old Man Niu responded with a serious expression and a firm tone, "Why would I lie to you? Lying to you wouldn't be worth anything. Besides, how could I make up such an important matter and speak so recklessly?"
He spoke with a serious expression and firm words.
Qin Wan frowned, confused, and said bluntly, "If the government can't effectively control such arrogance and domineering behavior, can't they seek help from the army?"
She really couldn't understand why such an abnormal situation occurred.
Old Man Niu sighed deeply, his face filled with resignation. He explained, "How could the government just sit back and do nothing? The problem is, we have to apprehend the traffickers! Often, just as we receive a report, the traffickers have already fled, vanishing without a trace."
His words were filled with deep helplessness and regret.
But Qin Wan felt that there must be something else going on.
As they were discussing and verifying, they had already walked out of the town entrance. At this moment, they suddenly heard a loud noise.
