Chapter 396 I Can't Go Against My Conscience



Guo Jingyun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing around the yard and looking outside.

I hope someone from the family can come home and discuss it with her.

But for some reason, at this time of year, the men who usually work at the timber market and their sons should have returned by now, but today they are nowhere to be seen.

Guo Jingyun circled around twice more, then couldn't help but squat down by the wall to listen again, but she could no longer hear the child crying at all.

Her heart skipped a beat. Had the child cried himself to sleep, or had he fainted?

Or perhaps they fell victim to human traffickers and were gone?

Guo Jingyun couldn't stay at home any longer, so she hurriedly went out.

She had made up her mind. She couldn't live without a clear conscience. She knew that a human trafficker lived next door and that the trafficker had kidnapped a child and was hiding and torturing him in the house. If she did nothing, she would live with a guilty conscience for the rest of her life.

Guo Jingyun went straight to the Public Security Bureau.

After she told the police that she had come to report a crime, a police officer immediately took her to make a statement. "Officer, you just said that there are human traffickers living next door to your house. Can you tell me more about what happened?"

Guo Jingyun had a young couple move in with her neighbors a month ago. She had never seen the couple have a child before, but in the last couple of days, she suddenly heard a child crying next door and told the police about it.

She also told the police what she had overheard from the side of the wall.

The police officer taking the statement immediately became even more serious. "Comrade, did you find out how many children he has?"

"Two!" Guo Jingyun answered with certainty. "The two babies' cries are different; I can tell the difference."

Upon hearing this, the police officers couldn't help but get excited.

The twins, a boy and a girl, belonging to the owner of Beiqiao Shopping Mall, were stolen on the mall's opening day. Although the matter was kept secret from the outside world, the public security system had already mobilized all available personnel to search for the two children.

If this matter gets out, it will not only affect the investment plans of domestic and foreign businessmen in Sichuan Province, but it also comes at a critical juncture in the crackdown on human trafficking.

With so many police officers deployed, two days and one night had passed, and there was still no news about the two children until Guo Jingyun provided a clue.

The police officer in charge of the case immediately said sternly, "Convene a special meeting immediately and prepare to launch an arrest operation."

After saying that, the police officer firmly grasped Guo Jingyun's hand, "Comrade Guo, thank you for providing us with valuable clues, thank you very much."

Guo Jingyun shook hands with the police officer for a while with some trepidation before calming down and saying, "Officer, I don't need to thank you."

I just want to ask you, since I provided you with a lead, can you guarantee the safety of my family?

“I’ve heard that those human traffickers are ruthless in their retaliation. I also have two grandchildren. If…” Guo Jingyun’s eyes were filled with visible worry and fear.

Before she arrived, she felt guilty, but after she arrived, she began to feel fear.

If her calling the police invites retaliation from the human traffickers, that would be one thing if the retaliation falls on her, but what if it also affects her grandchildren...?

She didn't even dare to think about it.

Upon hearing her concerns, the police officer immediately assured her, "Comrade Guo Jingyun, rest assured, we will do our utmost to ensure the safety of you and your family's lives and property."

I can assure you, if human traffickers want revenge on you and your family, they'll have to step over my dead body first!

Upon hearing this, Guo Jingyun finally felt relieved. She grasped the police officer's hand and bowed repeatedly in gratitude.

Seeing her like this, the police officer grasped her hand tightly. "Comrade Guo Jingyun, you risked your life for justice; we should be thanking you. You're a hero!"

"Honey, I have good news."

After receiving the call from the Public Security Bureau, Huo Beixiao rushed into the bedroom at almost the speed of a 100-meter sprint. "The police called and said that someone provided a clue that two people with children were living next door to them. It is very likely that they are human traffickers who have taken our An An Le Le to live with them."

Yang Qiaoqiao was also invigorated when she saw this sentence.

The two quickly went out and headed straight to the police station.

When they arrived at the police station, the police had already arranged for officers to be hidden next to the Guo family's house and were also there.

Wu Lanhua described the appearance of the two new neighbors who moved in next door to the police station.

Yang Qiaoqiao was taken into the profiling room by the police. She recognized the two people on the drawing board at first glance: "Zhang Wei and Jiang Yiran."

"Comrade Yang, do you know them?"

While the police were questioning them, they had already prepared a notebook and began taking notes.

Yang Qiaoqiao nodded and explained her relationship with Jiang Yiran and Jiang Yiran's relationship with Zhang Wei.

After the police officer finished taking notes, he couldn't help but say, "No wonder we couldn't find any clues before; we were going in the wrong direction."

This is not a child abduction case at all, but a revenge kidnapping case.

At this point, Yang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao no longer needed to hide the fact that the other party was extorting them from the police.

They also gave the police the addresses that Zhang Wei had given them.

After looking at those addresses, the police analyzed, "They probably want to escape from your province all the way to Guangzhou, then smuggle themselves from Guangzhou to Hong Kong, or even go abroad."

If they actually manage to get to the port city or go abroad, there will be absolutely nothing we can do.

At this moment, Yang Qiaoqiao thought of a detail and hurriedly asked, "Officer, didn't you just say that the person who reported the case only heard a woman talking next door?"
