"Aunt Tao, do you think I did something wrong?" Xia Ke asked after thinking for a moment.
“I can’t answer that question. It’s a matter between you and your mother. I don’t know the details and can’t judge who is right and who is wrong. But it’s wrong of you to run away from home because you were angry with your mother and didn’t tell anyone, which led to your abduction,” Tao Ying replied seriously.
“I…” Xia Ke clutched the hem of her clothes.
“That’s your mother. She’s raised you to be fearless and decisive even when facing human traffickers. I think your mother should be able to listen to you and talk to her properly. What you study isn’t the most important thing. The most important thing is what you want to do in the future,” Tao Ying continued.
"I understand, thank you, Aunt Tao." Xia Ke lowered her head and said no more.
“I have White Rabbit milk candy in my bag. If you’re hungry, have one. I’ve been on the train for over twenty hours, and I’ve finished all the food my daughter made for me,” Tao Ying sighed.
I was supposed to arrive at my destination in a dozen or so hours, but that unlucky old woman will definitely accuse me of being a human trafficker this time.
"Aunt Tao, you're unlucky too, but luckily you're here. If it were just me, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape," Xia Ke said softly.
"That's fate between us, mother and daughter. If we can escape this time, we'll be blessed with great fortune." Tao Ying felt that her life was truly exciting.
It was already past 1 a.m. when they took down Biaozi and Zhang Fang.
Tao Ying drove slowly for about two hours, and it was getting brighter and brighter.
I just drove along the road; there were no signs or anything.
"Aunt Tao, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?" Xia Ke asked with concern.
"I'm not tired. We need to hurry and get there. The farther we get from this place, the safer we'll be." Tao Ying is now relying entirely on her willpower to keep going.
After driving for another two hours, it was already bright daylight, and Tao Ying gradually got the hang of driving.
I started driving in fourth gear. At this point, there were very few cars on the road, but the road was not very good.
Around 11 o'clock, I suddenly felt a car chasing me from behind.
"Aunt Tao, what should we do? Are those people coming to chase us?" Xia Ke was extremely nervous.
"Go for it, hurry up!" Tao Ying slammed on the gas.
After a chase of about forty minutes, four cars came from the front, two from the sides, and one from behind, and they even managed to cut off Tao Ying and her companion's car.
"Something's not right!" Tao Ying released the accelerator.
"Aunt Tao, I'll try to get you a chance to leave in a bit." Xia Ke held the stool, tears streaming down her face.
"How can human traffickers have so many cars? How can they be so arrogant?" Tao Ying murmured.
"You are surrounded. Release the hostages and we'll try to get leniency." The car in front saw the criminals' car stop and started shouting through a loudspeaker.
Tao Ying and Xia Ke exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Human traffickers?
I?
"What should we do, Auntie?" Xia Ke asked Tao Ying, trembling.
"Get off the bus." Tao Ying was also numb.
After parking the car, he got out with his hands up and immediately squatted down on the ground with his hands on his head.
Xia Ke "..."
As soon as Xia Ke came down, two police officers rushed up and pinned their hands down.
"Officer, we're not human traffickers, we were abducted, and then we robbed the traffickers' car. The people in the back of the car can all testify to that," Tao Ying tried to explain.
"Behave yourself," the police officer shouted at Tao Ying.
"Can I call my uncle?" Xia Ke asked tearfully.
The police officer opened the trunk again, and four young women, slumped over, their faces as white as paper, struggled to get out and vomited profusely on the ground.
The smell inside the carriage was, needless to say, unpleasant.
The police officers immediately took everyone into the police car, but Tao Ying and Xia Ke were handcuffed.
"Aunt Tao." Xia Ke was truly frightened.
We don't know whether the person on the other end is a human trafficker or a police officer.
The police officers didn't give the two a chance to talk.
He took the group directly to the police station.
Upon arriving at the police station, the individuals were questioned separately.
"Name!"
Tao Ying.
"age!"
Forty-five.
...
...
"Confess the details of your crime." The police officer in charge of interrogating Tao Ying stared at her fiercely.
"Comrade, I'm really not a human trafficker," Tao Ying tried to explain.
"Explain what happened." The police officer slammed his hand on the table.
"On the train, I met those two people. When I went to the toilet, their accomplice pushed me off the train, and then..." Tao Ying recounted what happened.
The police officers questioned Tao Ying three times, and she told the truth every time.
Xia Ke received the same treatment, but she mentioned her uncle.
Just to be on the safe side, when the police officers questioned Xia Ke for the first time, they also gave a phone number to the military unit where Xia Ke's uncle, Xia Wenjing, was stationed.
As soon as Xia Ke left home, Zhou Yajuan found out and called all her relatives and friends, mobilizing their connections to find Xia Ke.
When Xia Wenjing received the phone call, a string of words left her somewhat bewildered.
"Xia Ke is in your Foshan police station. Do you suspect that Xia Ke is a human trafficker?" Xia Wenjing asked in shock.
How can you connect these two things? With Xia Ke's brain, how could she possibly be involved in human trafficking?
"I'm coming right away." Despite her doubts, she still had to go.
The Xia family, in Xia Ke's generation, has a total of eight children. Xia Ke is the only girl, so the entire Xia family, including the Zhou family, basically grants Xia Ke's every request.
Zhou Yajuan was relatively stricter with Xia Ke.
Xia Wenjing immediately ordered a car to be sent to take him there.
Meanwhile, the testimonies of the four girls over there also came out, and they were basically consistent.
Fang Fang, in particular, had traveled on the same train with Tao Ying for more than 20 hours, so her experiences on the train were largely the same as Tao Ying's.
They were already quite close by, and Xia Wenjing arrived at four o'clock in the afternoon.
The police officers were completely baffled by the testimony.
When Xia Wenjing arrived at the police station, the first thing he saw was a minivan parked outside.
The carriage still had dried bloodstains, broken windows, and a dented body.
"Commander Xia." The police station chief saluted Xia Wenjing first.
In fact, the moment the police chief dialed Xia Wenjing's number, he had already ruled out the possibility that Xia was a human trafficker.
Unless Xia Ke has an antisocial personality, she wouldn't do something like this.
"May I understand what happened? If Xia Ke really did something illegal, please deal with it severely." Xia Wenjing returned the greeting and then asked the police station chief.
If they can be arrested as human traffickers and still call me, it seems they're not in any real danger.
It seems there's a problem with Xia Ke's education, and this is quite serious.
