Qian Jincai then asked the middle-aged man next to him, "Brother, did the news say who was arrested? What was their name? I don't usually watch the news, so I don't know about these things!"
The middle-aged man replied, "I haven't really noticed that, but it seems they're expediting the trial. They say the higher-ups are taking it very seriously, and they'll be airing two more episodes after the trial is over!"
Qian Jincai thought about how he hadn't heard anything about the second son and his wife recently. He'd heard that the second son's wife's family, the Zhan family, had quite a network of contacts in Jiangyuan City, but his mother had recently called the Zhan family, and they'd said things seemed quite tricky. He didn't know what the situation was.
From this point of view, what was mentioned in the news is most likely what the second brother and his wife did.
Qian Jincai hadn't seen the world, but he wasn't stupid. There were no fools in the Qian family. When it came to their own interests, everyone was more calculating and shrewd than the other. Of course, the exception was Qian Jingui, the third child who had already severed ties with the family.
Qian Jincai did not seem to be too worried about the accident involving the second brother and his wife. He just felt it was a pity that there was no one to send him money.
Several hundred dollars a month. If nothing had happened to them, the money given to his parents every month would eventually be spent on him and his son Qian Longbin.
With the conversation between the two people, other passengers also became interested and joined in the discussion of the news.
[Hey, I saw that news on TV too. I heard there were quite a few gang members, and they were using a noodle shop near the train station as cover. My relatives even went to see it, and they really did shut it down!]
Human traffickers are truly despicable. They use so many tricks, making it hard to guard against them. They steal children, leaving their parents and grandparents to fend for themselves.
[These beasts are really willing to do anything for money, and they are not afraid of retribution for their evil deeds on their children! ]
[That's right, human traffickers should be struck by lightning. They have absolutely no humanity.]
As the passengers discussed the human traffickers, their focus shifted to the children on the bus. Besides Qian Niandi and her two siblings, there were several other parents with their children on board.
A mother holding her child listened to the discussion in the car and unconsciously hugged her child tighter, saying, "After hearing what you said, I'm a little scared!"
One passenger responded: "Big sister, I see your child is quite young. What are you doing with a child alone?"
The mother holding the child said: "My mother's family is in the county town, and my home is in the city."
People around me said, "Oh, that's okay. Don't go far with your child alone, especially in places like train stations and trains, where there are the most human traffickers."
The mother holding the child replied, "Indeed, the child is still young. It's troublesome for me to even go back to my parents' home, let alone go far away."
As everyone was talking, they turned the topic to Qian Jincai: "Brother, where are you going with these kids?"
Qian Jincai answered truthfully, "I'm going to my child's grandmother's house in Jiangyuan City. This is my first time there. I heard it's not far away, and it only takes three or four hours by train."
Someone warned, "Don't be careless even if you're not far away. Sometimes children disappear in the blink of an eye. I heard those traffickers have drugs that make people faint."
Qian Jincai asked, "Is there such a medicine? I've never even heard of it. Well, if that's the case, it would be terrible if I really fell into the trap of human traffickers."
The other party continued, "That's not good at all. I think these human traffickers should be shot if they are caught!"
Qian Jincai didn't want to seem too different, so he also started to curse the traffickers: "That's right, just wait and see, these traffickers will definitely not get a good result!"
Qian Niandi sat in the last row and didn't say a word, but she heard every word the passengers were talking about.
She was reluctant to believe that her parents were human traffickers, but now there were signs that her parents were engaged in such activities.
In particular, some passengers mentioned that the noodle shop was closed down, so they should be referring to the noodle shop in their own home, right?
Like Qian Niandi, Sun Xiaohao was relatively quiet, but he was also trying hard to grasp the key information of everyone's conversation.
In his limited memory, he only knew that the Zhan and Qian families not only did not help him but also played tricks on him and brought him to his own death.
He also knew that although Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou were divorced at that time, both of them had a lot of property. In the end, apart from seeing two property certificates that were not written in his name, he did not get any property from them.
After the couple was arrested, Sun Xiaohao made a new discovery. He thought: No wonder the two people who he had the impression of being quite rogues were able to make a fortune. It turned out that they made their fortune by doing this kind of business!
This matter really exceeded Sun Xiaohao's expectations, but it also made Sun Xiaohao feel that the next development of events would become more and more interesting.
Along the way, the passengers chattered non-stop about the issue of human traffickers, which was quite lively.
After more than an hour's drive, they finally arrived at the Mafang Bus Station. Under the supervision of the passengers who were already somewhat "familiar", Qian Jincai did not ignore Qian Niandi and her siblings as he had done when they boarded the bus. Instead, he took the bag from Qian Niandi's arm and held Sun Xiaohao's hand.
Seeing that this elder father could finally play a role, Qian Niandi naturally had no reason to refuse. She was too worried that she would not be able to take care of her two younger brothers and something unexpected would happen along the way.
Afterwards, led by Qian Niandi, the four members of the Qian family went straight to the train station.
Qian Niandi said to Qian Jincai, "Dad, let's stand in two different lines to buy the nearest ticket to Jiangyuan City. Two adult tickets and one child ticket. Whoever gets in line first can buy the ticket!"
Qian Jincai replied, "I know, I know. I'll find a queue with fewer people."
After saying that, Qian Jincai began to observe multiple columns and found a team that seemed to have fewer people. Sun Xiaohao also followed Qian Jincai.
Qian Jincai turned around and saw Sun Xiaohao blinking his toad eyes, so he said to him, "Hey kid, I'm queuing up to buy tickets, why are you causing trouble? I've already told you that I don't have time to watch you. If you get caught by human traffickers, you can't blame me!"
Sun Xiaohao replied with a smile: "It's okay, Daddy, just queue up and don't worry about me. I remember everything, no one stole it."
Qian Jincai ignored Sun Xiaohao's words and followed the line of people, moving forward bit by bit. It was still quite hot, especially after half a morning's journey to the city by bus, and the temperature was starting to rise.
The clothes everyone wears are relatively thin, so anything in their pockets is quite obvious. There are so many people here, and it is a favorite place for pickpockets. Once they succeed, they will immediately blend into the crowd, making it difficult to catch them.
Sun Xiaohao is short, and when he is mixed in the crowd, if he doesn't look up, he can only see everyone's buttocks. This is the best height to observe pickpockets stealing.
