Chapter 328 There's no such thing as a free lunch.



"Leaders, I hope you can give her some space and stop having people watching her. I hope she can live like a normal person."

As a soldier, how could Gu Huanian be completely oblivious to the differences in Su Li?

He had a vague feeling that she possessed a treasure, but he didn't want these people to know, fearing it would bring her death.

That's why I asked the top leader not to assign anyone to follow Su Li.

"Okay, I'll bring back all the people from before."

Sure enough, they sent people to keep an eye on Su Li.

Gu Huanian left the office with a heavy heart.

In the afternoon, Su Li handed the child to Chen Shujing and told her that the child would stay with her for the next few days.

She was worried that the child might get sick, so she left a bottle of spiritual spring water mixed with some health-preserving herbs.

Before leaving, he instructed, "Auntie, I'm entrusting the child to you. If the child or you get sick, just give him a small sip of this medicine. It's very effective. It was prescribed by an old Chinese medicine doctor I consulted before."

Chen Shujing nodded, knowing that Su Li was frightened by what happened last time, and assured her, "Su Li, don't worry, I'll take good care of the child and make sure nothing happens to him."

Su Li nodded; "Auntie, I believe you."

In fact, Chen Shujing gave her the strongest sense of security in the world.

If there's anyone here she can trust wholeheartedly, it's Chen Shujing.

Even when she was with Gu Huanian, she didn't have this strong sense of security.

After giving the instructions, Su Li went to the train station and bought a train ticket for tomorrow morning.

As the sun rose in the early morning, Su Li changed into simple clothes, grabbed a bag, and set off.

The green train was still crowded, but luckily she didn't have much luggage, so she easily squeezed on and got a seat by the window.

This morning, Gousheng knew she was leaving, so he prepared a lunchbox full of dumplings for her.

As soon as she boarded the train, Su Li leaned against the window and closed her eyes to pretend to sleep, because the smell on the train was just too unpleasant.

I didn't expect that just taking a nap would actually make me fall asleep.

She slept until lunchtime, and Su Li took out the dumplings that Gou Sheng had packed for her that morning.

Su Li took a bite, and a little girl sitting opposite her stared intently at her.

Seeing her eat dumplings, I couldn't help but swallow hard.

Su Li saw it, but she continued eating. The little girl was thin and small, and she just stared at her without daring to speak.

Sitting next to Su Li was a stylishly dressed middle-aged woman, whose clothes clearly indicated that she was not short of money.

She took a pancake out of her bag and handed it to Su Li, saying, "This is a pork pancake I made at home, it's delicious. How about I trade this pancake for three dumplings for that little girl?"

Upon hearing this, Su Li glanced at the girl opposite her and saw her looking at her with great enthusiasm.

She then looked at the woman sitting next to her.

Su Li noticed that the little girl opposite her swallowed hard when the woman took out the pancake, which meant she also wanted to eat it.

The middle-aged woman next to him couldn't possibly have missed it.

But they still insisted on exchanging the pancakes for three dumplings; it would be strange if there wasn't something fishy going on.

The woman next to her is probably either a human trafficker or a human trafficker.

"Not very good?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman became furious: "How can you be so stingy? I'm giving you this big pancake in exchange for three dumplings for the young girl. You're not losing out. Are you just going to watch the young girl go hungry?"

The little girl looked at Su Li with some understanding after hearing what she said.

If someone offered to trade her dumplings for flatbread, she would definitely do so immediately.

After hearing her words, Su Li smiled. She didn't rush to reply and quickly finished the dumplings in her bowl.

Then he said, "Okay, I've finished eating. I'm sorry, I can't change it."

The middle-aged woman didn't expect this person to act unpredictably. Seeing that she couldn't change things now, she stopped arguing with Su Li.

Instead, he smiled and said, "I see you have such a good appetite, you must not have eaten enough earlier! I'll give you this pancake."

Su Li: "......."

Look how determined this human trafficker is! He's completely ignoring the little girl across from him who's staring longingly at her pancake.

He even handed it to himself; truly, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

"I don't want to."

Seeing that Su Li didn't want it, the little girl across from her mustered up her courage and said, "Auntie, she doesn't want the pancake, can you give it to me?"

The middle-aged woman next to the little girl said somewhat embarrassedly, "Look, you don't want to eat it anyway, why don't you give it to the child?"

The fashionable woman's expression turned cold upon hearing her words; this pancake was specifically prepared for the beautiful woman beside her.

That was just a pretext, using what that girl across the street said.

She's seen very few women as beautiful as her over the years.

If she doesn't win him over, she won't be able to sleep well for a year.

"I already told this comrade I was going to give it to, how can I go back on my word?"

As she spoke, she shoved the pancake back into Su Li's arms, saying, "Comrade, I'm just trying to be helpful. You must not have eaten enough earlier. Try this pancake. I fried it with lard this morning. It's so fragrant."

Su Li handed the cake back to her, saying, "I don't want it, I'm already full."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman felt that Su Li was somewhat ungrateful.

The little girl across from me was still swallowing hard, her eyes fixed on the pancake.

Seeing her like that, Su Li was practically ready to snatch it from her; "Auntie, look, no one's eating this, why don't you give it to me!"

The little girl spoke up again.

"I can give you this pancake, but you have to share it with your mother."

The little girl immediately nodded in agreement.

The woman reluctantly handed the pancake to the girl opposite her, who quickly reached out and took it.

She broke off half of it and handed it to her mother beside her.

Then they started wolfing it down, and soon the mother and daughter finished the whole pancake.

Seeing that their heads started to droop after a short while, Su Li stood up and said to the woman next to her, "Excuse me, I need to get some water."

The woman, still somewhat unwilling, said to Su Li, "I also need to get some hot water. How about this? I'll get it for you, so it won't be too much trouble."

Su Li glanced at her and said coldly, "No need, I'll go myself."

As she was about to leave, the middle-aged woman was surprised by how wary the pretty girl in front of her was.

It seems I can't fool her anymore, but it's okay, at least I managed to fool two people today.

The woman stood up and made way for Su Li, who then went directly to the train police officer.

"Comrade, I want to report that there are human traffickers in our carriage."

The train police officer looked at the pretty girl in front of him and asked with a smile, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, it's the auntie sitting next to me. The mother and daughter across from me ate the pancake she gave them, and they're already a bit dizzy. I suspect that they'll take them off the train when we reach the next stop in a little while."
