"What bad luck! I can't even have a peaceful meal!"
"Get the hell up here, you good-for-nothing, I'll kick you to death!"
The two men didn't care about what others thought. They hit and cursed the girl, and the woman even grabbed the girl's arm and pulled her up.
Judging from the girl's involuntary scream and her expression, it seems that the perpetrator grabbed the girl's flesh directly.
Zhang Chao had served in the military before, so he still had a sense of justice.
He immediately stopped the man, saying, "Brother, let's finish our meal before we continue our journey. It won't make a difference if we wait a little longer!"
The man wasn't afraid at all and shoved her away, saying, "Who are you? What's it to you? You little brat, get the hell out of here!"
Perhaps out of embarrassment or anger, or perhaps out of fearlessness, both of them were extremely arrogant.
The girl was crying from the pain, tears streaming down her face, while the woman continued to tighten her grip.
"What the hell are you crying for? I treated you to good food and drinks, and you still have the nerve to cry?"
As she spoke, she threw down the steamed bun in her hand and slapped the girl across the face.
The final slap didn't land on the girl's face; it was stopped by Zhou Jiahui, who was standing nearby.
Zhou Jiahui's expression was very unpleasant. She pushed the woman away with great force.
The woman fell to the ground, hitting the stool they were sitting on, and it took her a long time to recover from the pain.
Those around her were a little incredulous. Zhou Jiahui was usually the kindest person, and they didn't know what was wrong with her today.
However, the little girl was rescued, but she just hid to the side, watching the two people with tears in her eyes.
Seeing this, the man was so angry that he wanted to rush over and hit Zhou Jiahui.
"You dare hit my wife! I'll fucking swear!"
When everyone saw that he dared to make a move, they all surrounded him.
They're all strong chefs, how could they not handle something like this?
Now everyone's attention was drawn to the man being held on the ground, and no one paid any attention to the woman who had been thrown to the ground earlier.
The little girl next to her was the same.
The women were a little scared. They had come in because they thought the restaurant wasn't crowded, but they had no idea there were so many chefs inside.
Even the people dining in the restaurant came over to join in the fun and cheered from the sidelines.
This was a good opportunity to escape, and the woman took the chance to grab the little girl's hand and run away, but the little girl suddenly began to resist.
"Help! The human traffickers are escaping!"
Her shout drew everyone's attention again; it turned out these two were indeed human traffickers!
The woman continued running towards the door. Seeing the girl shouting like that, she stopped grabbing her hand and simply lifted the curtain to run away.
Unexpectedly, he bumped into Lin Weidong, who was walking over, and almost knocked him to the ground.
Fortunately, Gu Xichao was with him, which helped to absorb some of the impact.
No matter the time, human traffickers are always the most despicable people.
So the people in the shop got angry, grabbed whatever was at hand, and started hitting the two of them.
"Get lost! I can't believe you're so old and still not learning good things, trying to be a human trafficker!"
"Pah! I hate you human traffickers the most! I'll beat you to death!"
"My sister was kidnapped by human traffickers, and I'm going to avenge her today!"
Leftover food, leftover soup, and chili peppers from the bowls were all thrown on the two people on the ground.
The woman had been hit by someone, and chili pepper had gotten into her eyes. She was in so much pain that she could only roll on the ground, crying out in pain!
At that moment, someone in the crowd shouted, "My leg! Scatter! He has a knife!"
A circle quickly spread out from the man on the ground, who also wanted to take this opportunity to stand up.
Gu Xichao went around from behind, took a silver needle and pricked the man's neck a few times. The man lay back on the ground again and couldn't get up.
Lin Weidong was somewhat surprised by Gu Xichao's skillful technique.
However, Gu Xichao has been studying at school for a long time, so it's normal for him to be proficient, right?
However, these were minor issues. He quickly pulled Lin Qingyu aside and asked, "Sister, what happened? Are you alright?"
He was also worried that something might be wrong with Lin Qingyu. She was quite far along in her pregnancy, and it would be troublesome if anything happened to her.
Lin Qingyu shook her head. "There were two human traffickers. I felt sorry for the little girl, so I had them ask her a few more questions."
Lin Weidong looked in the direction she indicated and saw a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old standing by the wall, clutching her sleeve, silently watching the two people on the ground.
The police arrived shortly afterward.
As soon as the traffickers' identities were confirmed, someone secretly ran out to find the police.
When the two saw the police arrive, they panicked. The woman cried and shouted that she was innocent.
The man, on the other hand, couldn't utter a single complete sentence.
Gu Xichao went over and secretly removed his silver needles, and the man regained some consciousness.
"Holy shit..."
His very first words were insults directed at the police and their families. Without even asking any further questions, they were immediately arrested.
Several police officers were in the store trying to find out what was going on, and Lin Qingyu even treated them to mung bean soup.
It was refreshing and thirst-quenching, and also sweet, which made the atmosphere less tense.
One of the policewomen asked the little girl, "What's your name? Where are you from? How old are you? Who else is in your family?"
She asked a series of questions, but the little girl wasn't so nervous at the moment and was able to answer all of the police officer's questions.
"My name is Jiang Wanwan. I'm from the neighboring Shanxi province. I'm twenty years old this year. I still have my grandparents at home."
Jiang Wanwan was drinking a bowl of hot water. Actually, she was very hungry, but she was too embarrassed to ask for food.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qingyu came over with a bowl of millet porridge. "Girl, have some first. I see you haven't eaten much on the way."
Jiang Wanwan thanked them, picked up the small bowl, and drank it all in one gulp, regardless of whether it was hot or not.
Fortunately, Lin Qingyu had let it cool for a while, and seeing that Jiang Wanwan was still very hungry, she served her another big bowl.
Two human traffickers were caught by the police, but the man was still very defiant.
"What right do you have to arrest me! Do you know I have connections? If you dare touch me, you're dead!"
Someone was taking the knife from the man's hand, and only then did everyone realize that it was actually a pig-slaughtering knife!
"You're a fine young man, being a butcher is such a good job, why don't you do that instead of this illegal business?"
The police officers who seized the items questioned him, partly to learn about his past.
"Pah! Get your filthy hands off my knife!"
The man even glared fiercely at the police officer, showing absolutely no fear.
Butchers are usually quite sensitive about others touching their knives, but the police don't care about that.
The policeman examined the knife and noticed some black marks on the handle, which looked like bloodstains.
It's just that we don't know if it's from a pig or a human.
