Xu Minghao went to the toilet and passed by a private room. He saw a middle-aged woman wearing a worn blue coarse cloth dress and black trousers. The trousers were covered with dust and mud and were dirty. She was holding a swaddled baby in her arms. The baby was wrapped in fine Dacron cloth, and the face was covered tightly, leaving only the nose and mouth exposed to breathe.
Normally, when holding a child, the child's face would not be covered, as this could easily cause suffocation. In addition, the child's clothes were made of high-quality Dacron, while the middle-aged woman was wearing coarse cloth clothes, which was obviously not in line with common sense.
Thinking of this, Xu Minghao frowned, hid aside, secretly observing the movements inside, looking for a suitable opportunity to attack.
"Auntie, your child has a really good personality. He fell asleep as soon as he got on the train and didn't make any noise at all. Unlike the last time we took the train, there was a child crying from the time he got on the train to the time he got off. It was really torturous, wasn't it, Yueting?" A woman with two pigtails said to a quiet and pretty woman.
"Wen Tong is right, your child is very well-behaved." A woman named Li Yueting also echoed.
"It's okay, it's okay. Our child has been sleepy since he was young." A trace of vigilance flashed in the middle-aged woman's eyes, but she still had a smile on her face.
"Auntie, I see you haven't eaten anything since you got on the bus. Here are two buns for you and your child." Li Yueting said as she handed two hot buns to the middle-aged woman.
"Thank you so much, sister." The middle-aged woman looked at the two big meat buns, greed flashed in her eyes, and she wolfed down the buns.
"Auntie, aren't you going to leave some food for the children?" Wen Tong was a little puzzled. Shouldn't such delicious food usually be left for children? Why did she eat it all herself?
"Hey, my child sleeps for a long time. He probably won't wake up until we get off the train. I can just buy him some food when we get off the train." The old lady said indifferently.
"Auntie, where are you from? Judging from your accent, you're from North City. Come, have some water. You must be thirsty after eating the buns. Drink some water to moisten your throat."
Li Yueting poured a cup of hot water and stood up to hand it to the old lady, but she accidentally tripped over the luggage on the ground and stumbled, spilling the scalding hot water on the old lady's legs.
"Ah!" The old lady screamed in pain and subconsciously loosened her hands holding the baby.
Seeing this, Li Yueting quickly picked up the baby. Seeing that the child was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then, with a guilty look on her face, she apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Auntie. Please check if you have any burns. If you have, rinse with cold water immediately. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if blisters appear."
"No, no, I'm fine, just give the child to me." The old lady said to Li Yueting while enduring the pain.
"Yes, Auntie, don't hold it in. Go ahead and don't worry. I'll take care of the child for you." Wen Tong saw that Li Yueting was not usually a nosy person, so why was she sending food and drinks again today? But after thinking about it, she came to her senses and thought that she might have encountered human traffickers.
"Really, there's no need. I'm fine. Just give the child to me." The old lady's face changed and she suddenly said seriously.
"Auntie, there's something wrong with your child. He doesn't look like he's asleep. Is he sick? I pinched his little face, but he didn't react." Li Yueting lifted the cloth covering the child's face, took a look at the chubby child, then looked at the pale and skinny auntie, who looked malnourished, and became more and more certain of her guess.
"Give the child back to us quickly, or we will call the police!" Suddenly, a tall man with a rough appearance ran over from the opposite carriage. He had been paying attention to the movements over here. Seeing that the two little girls had seen through his wife's disguise, he cursed in his heart, what a fool!
"Okay, go call the police and see if they arrest you or me, you human trafficker." Li Yueting said without fear.
There were people coming and going in the box. When they heard the human traffickers, they gathered around. Seeing that the door of the box was about to be blocked, the man suddenly became anxious, took out a knife from his body, and rushed towards Li Yueting.
Li Yueting turned pale instantly when she saw the man holding a knife. She subconsciously closed her eyes in fear and waited for a long time, but there was no pain as she expected. She looked up and saw a tall, burly, and well-built man. He suddenly blocked her way like a majestic mountain. Her heart couldn't help but pounding, as if it was about to jump out of her chest...
Xu Minghao grabbed the wrist of the man holding the knife and twisted it hard. The knife fell to the ground with a clang, and then he grabbed the man with his backhand.
When the middle-aged woman saw the man being captured, she didn't care whether he was dead or alive and hurried to the door, where she was caught by three flight attendants who arrived.
"Captain Xu, thank you for helping us catch the human traffickers." One of the men in uniform, who was in his forties, came over and expressed his gratitude.
"No need, it's what we should do, Flight Attendant Zhang. You should strengthen the inspection." Xu Minghao said in a light tone.
"That's my duty. It's been a while since we last met. How about we have a drink?" Flight Attendant Zhang said with a flattering look on his face.
"No, I have something else to do, so I won't keep you company." After Xu Minghao refused coldly, he turned around and left without waiting for Officer Zhang to answer.
"Alright, then take care. Come visit me when you have time." Conductor Zhang flattered Xu Minghao loudly. After Xu Minghao left, he said seriously to the other conductors, "Lock these two up and send them to the police station after we get off the train."
"Yes, Captain Zhang!" the two flight attendants replied, and then escorted the two human traffickers away.
When everyone saw that the human traffickers had been arrested, they dispersed.
"Comrade, give me this child. I will take him to the police station after we get off the bus." Conductor Zhang said to Li Yueting.
