The sheer killing intent instantly intimidated the few desperate men on the train who still wanted to resist.
Wei Heng, who was holding the struggling creature in his hand, froze instantly.
Wei Heng looked at Rong Zhaonan, a strange and complex light flashing in his eyes.
Rong Zhaonan didn't look at him, but only glanced at the surrounding passengers: "Everyone, does anyone have a rope? Any kind of rope will do."
The passengers, as if waking from a dream, quickly pulled out all sorts of ropes used for bundling luggage, chickens, ducks, and other goods.
The middle-aged intellectual-looking man with a cut on the back of his hand was particularly enthusiastic.
"I'm so sorry, young lady!" he apologized awkwardly to Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan shook her head, looking at his hand: "It's alright, your hand. Shall I pay for your medical expenses?"
The middle-aged intellectual shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No, no, it's just a minor injury. I almost helped the bad guys get you into trouble!"
With the help of observant passengers nearby, the group was quickly tied up.
After Chen Chen had them all detained in the open space at the entrance of the connecting area between the carriages, he sent the junior company commander to find the train police officer, Wang Zhihe.
"Little sister, are you alright?" Wei Heng walked to Ning Yuan's side with concern, his brows furrowed.
Ning Yuan shook her head and wiped the sweat from her brow: "Big brother, I'm fine, but my classmate... I don't know what happened, he went to the bathroom and then disappeared."
Could he have been abducted too?
At that time, there shouldn't have been any illegal brick kilns or coal mines that forced men to work illegally.
As they were talking, Ou Minglang's panting, annoyed voice rang out: "I'm here!"
Ning Yuan turned her head and saw Ou Minglang carrying a middle-aged woman with a bruised and swollen face.
It was that woman who called herself "Mom" and whose nose bled from being hit on the head with a blow.
Ou Minglang, looking embarrassed and annoyed, muttered under his breath, "I've been locked in the train toilet by these bastards..."
He was released by someone who needed to use the restroom, and then he heard that something had happened.
When he hurriedly caught up, he saw that the woman had cleverly stopped early and hadn't followed him to avoid being blocked.
When she saw Rong Zhaonan and his men grab someone, she tried to run away, but he caught her!
Ning Yuan asked in bewilderment, "Weren't you locked in the toilet? How did you know she was a kidnapper?"
Ou Minglang coldly tossed the wilted middle-aged woman to the ground—
"Someone next to her asked her, 'Have you caught the mentally ill daughter?' I knew then that she was with that group!"
Ning Yuan gave a thumbs up: "Little brother, you're smart and thoughtful!"
Ou Minglang glanced at Wei Heng and Rong Zhaonan with annoyance: "You call me brother when you need me, and brother when you don't, right?"
Chen Chen came over, immediately tied the person up, and carried them to the connecting area between the carriages.
Wang Zhihe and his colleagues came over and simply put all the pickpockets and kidnappers in the last carriage and kept them under guard.
Everything seemed to have settled down.
Suddenly, they heard an old woman's heart-wrenching scream—"My precious grandsons, my two precious grandsons, where have they gone!"
...
Two hours later
The dining car was emptied of people.
"There are many theft and robbery gangs that frequent the train lines in Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Beijing. They steal if they can, and rob if they can't steal, while also trafficking children and women!"
"This time, you've arrested one of the most dangerous gangs."
Wang Zhihe looked unwell and sat down with the transcript in hand.
"That family was so busy watching the commotion and making a fuss that they didn't even realize when the two children had disappeared."
Wei Heng frowned: "Chen Chen and his men climbed over the top of the train to block their retreat. Most of them should have been captured!"
If the child is still in the car, they should be found quickly.
Rong Zhaonan said calmly, "Not necessarily. Those two children are probably no longer in the car."
Wang Zhihe nodded: "Captain Rong is right. According to the confession, after that family switched seats, they happened to be on the same bus as the kidnapper couple, and they even bullied the kidnapper couple today."
How could there be any good people in gangs that abduct, steal, and rob these days?
The couple endured the insults, but they had their eyes on their twin sons from the very beginning.
The kidnapping couple knew Ning Yuan's name because they had heard Ou Minglang call her Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan was merely a target they had their eye on; they wanted to pull off one more heist before getting off the bus.
To put it bluntly, it's just an extra.
If things had gone smoothly, they would have pulled Ning Yuan off the bus at the stop where they just stopped.
Normally, two adults with some skills would be more than enough to deal with a petite, "underage" little lunatic.
Who knew Ning Yuan was such a tough nut to crack?
The family's twin sons were taken away while they were craning their necks to watch the commotion and getting involved.
"They chose the right time to commit the crime. Just as the commotion started, the train had just started moving and was moving very slowly. The two children were just pushed out of the train window."
Wang Zhihe said irritably.
Another train police officer smiled wryly: "That old lady was crying, making a scene, and even threatening to hang herself. We can only hope that after interrogating these people, we can find some clues to bring the child back."
Wang Zhihe frowned: "These people are just a lower-level member of the gang. Once they catch the 'goods,' they'll probably move them away quickly, and it won't be easy to get them back."
They don't even know their child is missing, and they're going to make trouble for others. This whole family is really brainless!
Ou Minglang sneered, "Some people deserve it. If you don't teach your children how to be decent human beings, society will teach them how!"
Rong Zhaonan looked at Ning Yuan and raised an eyebrow slightly: "What kind of luck do you have? You even get targeted by others, what a troublemaker!"
This curly-haired rabbit is practically a born troublemaker; wherever it goes, trouble follows.
Ning Yuan, unusually, did not retort to him, but instead gazed absentmindedly out the window.
She subconsciously reached for the jade chili pepper hidden in her collar.
Was it just her imagination?
After she was reborn, she did not give the jade chili pepper, which might be evidence of her origins, to Tang Zhenzhen.
It is indeed easy to run into trouble.
In her previous life, she lived a low-key, repressed, and ordinary life, working as a factory worker for more than ten years and then as a cashier for more than ten years.
I've never encountered so many near-fatal problems before.
At worst, Li Yan lost her job and almost got sentenced because of a work mistake, and she felt like the sky had fallen.
But after her rebirth, she possessed the Jade Chili Pepper, Rong Zhaonan, a new life, new adventures, and...
They encountered a series of troubles.
Like now, other people just run into a group of kidnappers.
She encountered this twice in a year and a half, and this time it was just an extra incident when someone was abducting children.
It's because she wanted to make her way in the world and start her own business that she met all sorts of people...
Therefore, the chances of encountering various dangers and troubles along with opportunities increase significantly?
Or perhaps fate discovered her abnormality and, through various unexpected events, sought to eliminate this "abnormality" of her rebirth?
It's not that she's superstitious, but rather that her ability to be reborn is the biggest "superstition" of all.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Rong Zhaonan's cool voice rang out as he gently pressed her hand down.
Ning Yuan looked at Rong Zhaonan's hand, and suddenly a scene flashed before her eyes: decades later, in an interview, Rong Zhaonan gently held his wife's hand as they disembarked from the plane during a foreign trip.
On that day, she sat in front of the television, and he was on the screen, a name that seemed unattainable.
She looked at him as no different from an ordinary person would at a powerful figure, and thought that this seemingly cold and serious leader was actually quite good to his wife.
Ning Yuan suddenly felt a pang in her heart and couldn't help but clench her cup tightly.
"It's nothing, I'll go get a glass of water." She rubbed her temples, picked up the glass, and stood up.
For some reason, this unexpected incident on the way to Guangzhou gave her a strange premonition.
It looks like something's about to happen...
