Yu Jiu had completely calmed down. Her face was cold, and she exuded a chilling aura. She and Xu Zijiang were thinking the same thing. Xu Zijiang had the same idea; they couldn't have run far, and with such a commotion, An'an and Nannan should have woken up by now. Maybe they could make some noise to alert them. If there was no sound at all, they were probably drugged. But sleeping pills were hard to come by; the most likely scenario was that their mouths were gagged, stuffed with something, and they were tied up.
That still has the potential to cause a commotion.
Without delay, they immediately split up to search for the child. The old man, being elderly and with his grandson in tow, stayed with Yu Jiu's group, shouting loudly if anything happened. They figured there was definitely more than one person in the car; it was probably a group.
"Brothers and sisters, please help me find my child. This is a small fee for your help. Please be nice when you're looking for him. Search whoever has the biggest bag. Try to negotiate with them properly. If it doesn't work, call me. I'll talk to them and pay them. I'm not afraid of spending money or offending anyone. I hope you can help us. Thank you in advance."
Yu Jiu hugged Yuanyuan and bowed deeply to everyone with a sincere attitude. After speaking, she took out a large wad of 10-yuan bills and gave 10 yuan to each person.
"I'll give everyone some compensation for their hard work once we find the child. I definitely won't let you all help for nothing!"
Everyone was already eager to help, and seeing that Yu Jiu was so nice and even gave them money, they were even more willing, and they all patted their chests and promised to help.
"Don't worry, sister, we will definitely help you find your child!"
"That's right, let's go find it now!"
Xu Zijiang adopted a ruthless and decisive approach, while Yu Jiu used a softer approach, winning people over with money. The two complemented each other. They each led their teams to search in opposite directions.
They really didn't miss a single inch of the space. They would even lie down to look at the seats and move the luggage aside to search carefully. If a bag was even slightly large, they would ask someone if they could open it and let them take a look.
People understood Yu Jiu's feelings about losing her child and wanting to find her, so most of them would cooperate and open the bag to let them search. If they really didn't want to, Yu Jiu would take out 10 yuan without saying a word and bow to apologize.
These days, 10 yuan is a lot of money; it can do a lot of things. Just looking at a bag costs 10 yuan, so how could I not be happy? I immediately accepted with a smile and let them search as they pleased.
On the other side, Xu Zijiang led his men to search the opposite direction thoroughly as well. Because they had a train attendant with them, everyone cooperated well. Moreover, they adopted an encirclement strategy. Xu Zijiang, along with a train attendant and some helpful people, searched this side, while another train attendant, with two others, moved towards this side from the end, forming an encirclement.
Even if it means turning the train upside down, we must find the two children.
If it were anyone else, the train conductor and passengers might not have been so cooperative. But Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang were rich, and they also had impressive credentials: they were people's heroes who had been featured in the newspapers, made great contributions, and were even recognized by high-ranking officials.
After making a series of phone calls, the train station had no choice but to give Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu face and cooperate actively. Even if they offended someone, they could deal with it later.
As expected, the human traffickers on the train were already sweating profusely after seeing the commotion. There were three of them, each in a different carriage. However, to Xu Zijiang's surprise, they had sedatives. They had indeed used the drugs to cover An'an and Nannan's mouths and noses, rendering them unconscious, which is why they were able to so easily carry the two children away.
They did indeed have their eyes on Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang's carriage, because their carriage had the most children, a total of five. If any parent was not careful, they would easily succeed. However, they did not initially target An An and Nan Nan. One reason was that they were already older, and the other was that they were girls, so their prices would definitely not be lower than those for boys.
From Xu Zijiang's conversation with the old man, we know that Yuanyuan is a boy, so their initial target was Yuanyuan. Or perhaps it was another couple with a one-year-old boy, and they really wanted both of those children.
But needless to say, stealing these two children would be incredibly difficult. Everyone was keeping a close watch on them, especially Xu Zijiang, who was so tall and muscular; it was clear he wasn't someone to mess with. Once he spotted them, they wouldn't have a chance to escape. Moreover, little Yuanyuan was always held in Xu Zijiang's arms. Even when they were sleeping in bed, Xu Zijiang always had one arm around little Yuanyuan, and his hand never left her body.
Another couple was also there, and although they only had one child, they had two people watching over them, making it difficult to succeed. So, the traffickers finally set their sights on An'an and Nannan. After waiting for a long time, they finally waited until Yu Jiu went to the restroom, this time without her husband watching her. Not long after Yu Jiu left, they suddenly realized that only An'an and Nannan were sleeping on her bed. The train still had an hour to go before arriving at the station. They shouldn't act now, but Yu Jiu was watching the two children very closely, always holding them while they slept. If they missed this opportunity, it would be even more difficult for them to take the children away when she returned.
After all, there isn't much sleeping potion available. It's enough to drug two children, but if you add an adult, it won't be enough.
So they didn't have time to think too much. The two of them tiptoed in and found everyone asleep with their eyes closed. No one knew that two strange men had entered the carriage. So they quickly took action, covering the mouths and noses of the two children with handkerchiefs soaked in sleeping pills, knocking them unconscious. Then they each carried one child and left quietly. It was impossible for them to go in the direction where Yu Jiu went to the toilet, as they would definitely be encountered along the way.
However, they had made preparations in several carriages, so there was no problem. But before they could carry the two children to their prepared place, Yu Jiu returned. She screamed loudly, waking everyone up. The two men were afraid that others would discover that they were carrying the children, so they had no choice but to hide on the spot.
An'an was now hidden in a bag under his seat, while Nannan was stuffed into a bag by his accomplice and placed in a cramped corner, where everyone kept their luggage. He took two pieces of luggage down, put his bag inside, and then put the other two pieces of luggage out to cover his bag completely.
If we don't move all this luggage out and search again, we probably won't find that someone is hiding inside. Moreover, the bags they used are very small, barely big enough to squeeze a child curled up inside. Such small bags are easy to miss.
His accomplice had hidden Nannan well, but he himself wasn't quite hidden yet. The man wanted to take the bag and hide An'an in the place they had prepared beforehand, but Xu Zijiang had already arrived in the carriage with the train conductor.
"Sit still, no moving around! Didn't you hear the announcement? Take out your tickets, I need to check them! Open your luggage too, let me see!"
