Before he even got close, Xia Anyan pulled out pepper spray and sprayed it in his face.
Caught off guard, the man was sprayed in the face with pepper spray, and his eyes stung.
He covered his eyes, ran around wildly, and finally fell to the ground.
The old woman was heartbroken to see this: "Oh dear, son, are you alright?"
She didn't have time to cause trouble for Xia Anyan; all she cared about was her son.
Xia Anyan took the opportunity to grab the things and run away.
She wandered around the restroom, threw all her belongings into her spatial storage, changed her clothes, and then headed towards the police patrol area.
The farce here will soon be discovered, and she can't let those two have a chance to escape.
But before she could find the police, she ran into Gu Shen.
"Yanyan, you..."
Xia Anyan deliberately smeared ash on her face and changed into old clothes.
Seeing Xia Anyan like this, Gu Shen could hardly recognize her.
Xia Anyan grabbed Gu Shen's arm, her eyes reddening.
“Just now, two people said I was their daughter-in-law and wanted to take me away. My luggage was lost and my bag was stolen. I only had time to change my clothes before coming to find you.”
Xia Anyan's words made Gu Shen's face darken instantly.
He shoved what he was holding into Xia Anyan's hands and ran off.
Xia Anyan tried to pull him away, but couldn't stop him.
She was getting anxious. She glanced around and saw a man who looked very upright. She casually handed him a roasted sweet potato and said, "Brother, could you please go and find some police officers? I was targeted by human traffickers over there. My husband has already gone there, but I'm afraid he can't handle those two traffickers by himself."
The older brother was very easy to talk to; he took the roasted sweet potato and quickly ran away.
Xia Anyan followed closely behind Gu Shen.
Men are fast, and she didn't waste much time. By the time she caught up, Gu Shen had already made his move.
The man was supposed to be taken away by the old woman, but Gu Shen's arrival left the two of them with no way to escape.
As Gu Shen passed by those people, he overheard their conversation and learned that his wife was being targeted and was about to be taken away.
He was so angry.
How dare those two bastards?
In front of everyone, they're planning to force their way in!
"So you two are the ones saying my wife is yours?" Gu Shen, dressed in military uniform, was already a terrifying sight in their eyes.
Now that he mentioned Xia Anyan again, the two of them visibly trembled.
Who dares to admit it?
The two of them shook their heads like rattles.
"No, no, comrade, you've misunderstood. We didn't do anything."
"Yes, yes, comrade, look, my son's eye was just injured, and I'm in a hurry to take him to see a doctor."
The two's denials instantly stunned everyone around them.
Some people who wanted to help were stunned, as if they had been struck by lightning.
Grass (a type of plant), so, this mother and daughter are the real fraudsters?
"Want to leave? Did I say you could leave?" Gu Shen raised his hand and grabbed the man's arm.
The man, perhaps trained as well, raised his hand to retaliate.
But after all, he wasn't a professionally trained fighter, and he was subdued by Gu Shen in no time.
"What's wrong with you? What right do you have to grab my son? Let go right now, let go!"
The old woman patted Gu Shen hard with each blow.
Gu Shen stared at the old woman with a cold gaze for a long time, but did not make a move.
As long as the man is held down, the woman won't be able to leave.
"How could you run so fast? I couldn't catch up with you." Xia Anyan came up to Gu Shen, panting heavily.
Seeing that he had subdued the man, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But the old woman panicked when she saw this.
Knowing she couldn't beat Gu Shen, she went straight for Xia Anyan: "Girl, I know I was wrong. I was just joking with you. Please tell this comrade to release my son."
“My son is young and hasn’t gotten married yet. If he gets ruined, our family line will end!”
She cried loudly, thinking that saying this would save her son.
Xia Anyan replied coldly, "Just because your son isn't married, does that mean he can just go out and find anyone to be his wife? If I hadn't run away, would you have taken me away by now? To take me back to the countryside to be your wife?"
“Everyone just heard it. She kept saying I was her daughter-in-law, but now she says it was a joke. If your own sister or daughter encountered something like this, would you be willing to just say it was a joke?”
The people around initially didn't want to get involved, even though they knew they had been tricked by those two, they still refused to get involved.
But now, after hearing what Xia Anyan said, they couldn't sit still.
"Comrade, you're right, this is no joke, it's going to harm people."
"Yes, people like this should not be tolerated. They must be sent to the police station and made to sit in jail."
"Comrade, I'll go find the police right now. Don't let these two get away!"
As they were talking, some people started to run outside.
Before long, the police arrived, followed by the same person who had taken Xia Anyan's roasted sweet potato earlier.
"Comrade, I've brought the police officers with me." He grinned, showing his big teeth, and smiled at Xia Anyan.
Xia Anyan nodded her thanks to him, but didn't have time to say more. She immediately brought the police officers to Gu Shen's side.
After the police officers took over, Gu Shen took out his identification.
After another round of communication, the mother and daughter were taken away.
But when it came to the things Xia Anyan lost, the police officers were quite helpless.
"Commander Gu, it's not that we're unwilling to cooperate, it's just that... Comrade Xia himself doesn't know who took it, and we have nowhere to look for it. We can only help keep an eye out, and if we see anything similar, we can help investigate."
Gu Shen wanted to say something more, but Xia Anyan stopped him.
She shook her head at Gu Shen before turning to the police officers: "Police officers, thank you so much this time. You arrived just in time and prevented the bad guys from escaping. As for the things I lost, they weren't worth much money. They're gone, so be it. I'll just consider it money I spent to buy peace of mind."
"However, I still have some suggestions to make. Something like today's incident has happened more than once. The reasons those two made up just now have convinced many people. Today I escaped because I was quick-witted, but what about other female comrades? Would they have been taken away by them?"
After hearing what Xia Anyan said, the police officers' expressions also became serious.
Thinking about it carefully, this has indeed happened more than once.
They had experienced it firsthand before, but...
