Huo Xicheng thought his cousin's method was good and nodded, saying, "This method is feasible. Cousin, find me a uniform from your train crew, and I'll go with you."
Du Yuhan said, "You can use guns or other weapons to subdue the human traffickers secretly, so they won't dare to make any rash moves and will come with us on their own. This way, we can avoid alerting others as much as possible. It will also give us time to interrogate their other accomplices."
Huo Xicheng nodded and said, "That's fine. We'll use a dagger. I have one here, and we can find another one. A dagger is safer than a gun. After all, we're on a train, so we should try not to make a big commotion."
Tao Guangliang said, "Then let's do it this way. I'll go push the food cart, fill it with a pot of piping hot porridge, so that if the traffickers want to drink the porridge, they can't hold the children."
"We shouldn't have too many people. Xicheng, you'll pretend to be a train conductor and stay by my side. Just the two of us will avoid alerting them if too many people join us."
Tao Guangliang asked Du Yuhan, "Little girl, after all this time, I still don't know your name?"
Du Yuhan replied, "My name is Du Yuhan, you can just call me Xiao Du."
Tao Guangliang nodded and said, "My name is Tao Guangliang, and this is my cousin Huo Xicheng. Let's do as we just said. You go back to the seventh carriage and keep an eye on those two human traffickers for us. We'll be there soon."
Du Yuhan nodded and left for her seat. She had to keep an eye on the trafficker and couldn't let her little nephew out of her sight again.
Du Yuhan returned to her seat as if nothing had happened, then pretended to lean back and sleep, but kept her eyes half-closed as she watched her little nephew, secretly thrilled.
She's about to rescue her nephew, saving the He family from the misfortune of losing a child in this lifetime. Her elder brother won't live with guilt forever either.
Before long, Tao Guangliang arrived with Huo Xicheng, who had changed into a train attendant's uniform, pushing a dining cart.
Tao Guangliang called out from the carriage door: "Passengers, this month our train is having a charity event where railway staff will voluntarily donate to provide a meal of rice porridge for elderly people and parents with children traveling on this train."
I will serve rice porridge to eligible passengers in a short while. Please prepare your own lunchboxes if you are eligible.
As soon as Tao Guangliang finished speaking, the carriage erupted in discussion, with many disbelieving that such a good thing could exist. Some who did not meet the requirements felt it was a pity.
In fact, in this era, the elderly and children rarely take the train, so there are not many people in the carriage who meet the requirements.
Tao Guangliang served porridge to those who met the criteria from the beginning. When everyone in the carriage saw that there were indeed elderly people and adults with children eating porridge, they believed the train conductor's words.
Du Yuhan saw the two human traffickers holding the sleeping child start taking out their lunchboxes, seemingly unwilling to give up such a cheap deal.
That's good, now our side has a chance to rescue the child.
The rice porridge that Tao Guangliang prepared was very hot. It was impossible to hold it with one hand in a regular aluminum lunchbox. He had to use both hands to switch it or put the lunchbox on the table to drink the porridge.
The two traffickers holding the child were sitting on the outermost side, with nowhere to put their food containers, as the child would get in the way if they wanted to drink porridge.
Soon Tao Guangliang arrived in front of the two human traffickers. Just as Du Yuhan had described, after confirming the person they were going to arrest, Tao Guangliang filled each of the two traffickers, who were holding a child in one hand and a lunchbox in the other, with a full lunchbox of rice porridge.
Soon, the two of them were so hot that they could barely hold onto their lunchboxes.
Tao Guangliang said at the right moment, "You can't drink porridge while holding the child. The child is so well-behaved, you can let one of our team members hold him for a bit."
Then he turned to Du Yuhan next to him and said, "Little girl, why don't you do a good deed and help these two uncles and aunts hold the child?"
The two traffickers' hands were burning from the heat and they could barely hold the lunchbox. They had to hand the children to Huo Xicheng and Du Yuhan respectively, otherwise it would be a waste to spill the whole lunchbox of porridge on the ground, and it would also arouse suspicion.
Food is in short supply everywhere, so the two human traffickers saw an opportunity to get a good deal and drink thick rice porridge and were unwilling to give it up, which gave Du Yuhan and her companions the chance to rescue the child.
Du Yuhan breathed a huge sigh of relief when her little nephew was held in her arms. She had finally averted the misfortune of losing her nephew.
She remembered her brother saying that her nephew had a small red mole behind his left ear. She secretly checked and sure enough, there was a small red mole behind the child's left ear, confirming that it was indeed her nephew.
At this moment, Huo Xicheng was holding a child and standing next to one of the traffickers, while Tao Guangliang was standing next to another. A train police officer disguised as a passenger quietly walked up behind Huo Xicheng.
Huo Xicheng's misstep allowed the train police officer to end up next to the human traffickers. Huo Xicheng then pressed a dagger against the male trafficker's lower back. At the same time, Tao Guangliang held off another female trafficker and whispered in her ear, "Don't move, or I'll slash you with the knife. Hold your lunchbox steady, don't make a sound, and come with us."
At this time, two more train attendants arrived to take over Tao Guangliang's work.
Tao Guangliang then said loudly, "My fellow villagers, I see that it's inconvenient for you to eat with your children. Why don't you go to the rest room in the middle of the carriage to eat?"
As he spoke, he led the human trafficker toward the carriage door.
Things went smoothly, and the two human traffickers were taken to a private office without alerting anyone.
The two human traffickers confessed everything once they were intimidated.
These two were newbies, just starting out in this line of work, and had little experience. They were just trying to make a living, which is why they couldn't resist the temptation of the rice porridge and didn't see through Tao Guangliang and his group's deception.
The two men failed miserably on their first attempt at such a heinous crime and were caught.
Interrogation revealed that their accomplices and the abducted child were indeed on the train. The two traffickers confessed everything clearly.
Tao Guangliang organized a team to rescue the children. Du Yuhan stayed in the train crew's rest room to look after the children.
Since there was no one else in the rest room, she secretly fed the two children some well water from the space, and the two children woke up quickly.
The two children, one a few months old and the other at most a little over a year old, probably just learning to walk, started crying together in an unfamiliar environment with no relatives around and hungry.
The lounge was immediately filled with the loud cries of children.
The older children kept calling for their fathers and crying pitifully. This child must have been terrified after being abducted.
Du Yuhan knew the children must be hungry, so she went out to find hot water to make formula for them.
She had baby formula in her handbag, which she had prepared especially for her little nephew.
