Chapter 29 Save Me! He's a Human Trafficker
The captain thought to himself, what difference would it make if a broken water pump were repaired?
Does the water it pumps turn into banknotes?
Judging from the old man's excited expression, he must be getting better.
Not wanting to spoil the fun, he casually said, "What could I, a complete novice, possibly know?"
All I know is that it works.
At this point, the captain was surprised to find that the water pump seemed to be draining water faster.
But he didn't want to say it, which made Old Chen anxious.
Old Chen nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes! The most obvious thing is that it can operate."
And there's more...
Before he could finish speaking, several crew members cheered, "It's blocked! It's blocked!"
The captain strode over, excitedly clasping his hands together, "Thank God! We can finally reach the next port."
The repairman wiped the sweat from his brow, muttering curses at the heartless pirates, "Those bastards, those black-hearted scoundrels."
Look at the curled edges of this hole; it's clearly from a deliberate collision they made while controlling the boat.
Old Chen squatted down and looked at the damaged area again and again. "Now we can only use a leak-sealing blanket to temporarily stop the leak."
Fortunately, the floodwater was dealt with quickly; otherwise, under the combined pressure of the water from both inside and outside, the boat might have been overwhelmed and would have... sigh!
We should thank Comrade Su properly. Wait, where is Comrade Su?
“She’s gone.” Nie Ronghua walked in, glanced at the damaged area, and stared intently at the water pump that Su Meng had repaired.
He never expected that Su Meng, such a delicate young girl, would be doing repair work.
This was different from what he had known before.
She doesn't seem to be as spoiled and unruly as her family says.
Unbeknownst to him, a major event had occurred in the Su family during his mission.
Her family wasn't her real family.
She has a fake father, a stepmother, and an older "stepsister" who have taken over her home under the guise of family.
*
Su Meng had no idea that the man in the white coat was Nie Ronghua.
As she walked back, she did indeed see the man approaching from afar.
But for some reason, she inexplicably didn't want to run into it, just like a mouse seeing a cat, she would go around it from a distance.
As dusk settled, the dim light gathered from all directions, and the world gradually sank into darkness.
The passenger ship whistled as it sailed into a small dock called Fangcun.
An announcement came over the loudspeaker: "The ship needs to dock for repairs, and the date is uncertain. Passengers are advised to transfer to another vessel."
Although the passengers complained, for safety reasons, they obediently followed the crew's instructions and went to another passenger ship.
Su Meng closed the window and prepared to disembark.
But in that casual glance, she unexpectedly saw a familiar petite figure.
If she wasn't mistaken, that person was Mo Xiaoli, Wang Guangming's fiancée.
The girl who helped her up in the police station lobby.
She was stepping off the small boat next to her, her expression blank and her body stiff.
What's even stranger is that she went out empty-handed, without even a small handbag.
Su Meng couldn't help but take a second look.
On the bow of the small boat and on both sides of the dock, several cold-faced men stood in rows.
His eyes were wary, his gaze cold.
Those who disembarked from the small boats all orderly passed through the middle and boarded the nearby large boat in turn.
There was no joy on their faces.
Perhaps they stared blankly, or perhaps they glanced around hopefully, or... perhaps they were waiting for an opportunity to escape?
The word suddenly popped into her mind, and Su Meng shuddered.
The more she observed, the more suspicious she became about the people who got off the small boat.
It feels a bit out of place.
Unfortunately, the boat they transferred to happened to be the same boat that the people on that small boat had transferred to.
She didn't want to fall into a wolf's den after just escaping with her life.
The announcement once again urged them to disembark.
Su Meng slung her bag over her shoulder and caught up with the crowd.
Su Xiaoman stood by the stairs, holding the child's hand, and smiled at Su Meng who was striding over. "I thought you had left. You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Meng shook her head and said in a low voice, "Sister Su, I don't think that ship is safe. I'm going to take the train instead."
While buying overpriced ferry tickets on the black market, she also bought five stamped street certificates.
With the street certificate, she was free to buy train tickets and stay in hotels.
Su Xiaoman hugged the child tightly, covered half of his mouth, and asked, "You have to pay for the train yourself?"
"Little Su, is that ship really unsafe? Did you see robbers?"
Su Meng choked!
She wasn't sure.
He then coughed lightly, "I was just speculating."
Su Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh my god! I thought the pirates were coming again."
Look, everyone's gone up, let's follow suit."
People have a herd mentality, so Su Meng didn't forcefully stop her. "Sister Su, I won't go! Goodbye!"
Her intuition told her that those people were dangerous.
She didn't want to take any risks.
Su Xiaoman shook her head and left with the child.
He muttered to himself, "She's probably terrified."
But before he could finish speaking, a scream pierced the night.
Startled, Su Xiaoman immediately pulled her leg back, glanced at the little boy in her arms, and turned to run away.
"Little Su, wait for me."
Su Meng turned around in surprise and saw a mother and son running towards her.
Behind them was a woman with disheveled hair, wearing only one shoe.
Following closely behind was a burly man with a fierce face.
"Stop! You crazy woman, stop right there!"
Just as the woman was about to be grabbed by the man, a passerby stopped him, saying, "Comrade, how can you bully a woman?"
Someone else shouted, "Quickly call the police! There are police on the ship!"
The man held one of the woman's shoes in one hand and pointed at her with the other, explaining to everyone, "I'm sorry for making a fool of myself!"
She is my wife's mother, and she has suffered some trauma, making her a little confused.
I've heard that the medical staff at Yangcheng Hospital are highly skilled, so I'm taking her there for a checkup. Please don't misunderstand.
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
"Oh, they're a married couple! These kinds of problems should be addressed while you're young."
"Her husband has a kind heart! Other families wouldn't be willing to do that, especially since it's not a life-threatening illness."
The man clasped his hands in a polite gesture of thanks and gently approached the woman, saying, "Xiaoyu, don't be afraid! We've just changed to a bigger ship; there's no danger."
Upon hearing this, everyone assumed that the woman had gone mad because she couldn't adapt to the new environment.
In this way, no man needed to chase after her; kind-hearted people would help stop her.
The woman dodged while crying loudly, "No! I don't know him."
I'm not sick, he's a liar, he's a human trafficker.
The people on our ship were all kidnapped by them.
Please, please save me! ......
She dodged away in fear and panic, her voice trembling, her expression terrified, and her hair disheveled.
But no one believed her.
Some "helpful" older women even helped hold her back and advised, "Go back with your husband quickly, listen to him and get better soon. Oh! What a pitiful person!"
The woman struggled frantically, kicking and biting, repeating rapidly, "Save me! He's a human trafficker."
Su Xiaoman leaned closer to Su Meng and whispered, "Who do you think is telling the truth, and who is lying?"
Without hesitation, Su Meng said, "What the woman said is true."
She had recognized the woman long ago—Mo Xiaoli.
Wang Guangming's former fiancée.
The poor woman who was cheated on by Zhong Wanrou.
Oh!
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
We can't let her die too soon.
"Let's go find the police!" Su Meng said, and then looked around for the police.
But just as he turned around, he suddenly heard a shout: "Su Meng, save me!"
