Sun Aimin and Li Yuming experienced a thrilling moment and were still frightened when they got into the taxi.
Although they appeared calm, they were actually worried that someone might step up and help the mother and child snatch the child away. After all, based on their gender, age, and physical condition, the mother and child were both considered vulnerable.
If the crowd joins in the commotion, it will be difficult for the two of them to escape.
Li Yuming and his wife reported the incident to the police, but the local authorities remained silent. The family continued to carry on with their daily lives. It's likely that the local authorities didn't take the matter seriously.
Moreover, in a county town, many people have connections with relatives, and it is common for people to turn a blind eye to others.
And the vegetable market wasn't far from their neighborhood, so they were bound to know some neighbors. If someone they knew stepped forward, they couldn't just walk away.
Therefore, luck played a big role in this operation for both of them.
After they got in the taxi, they asked the driver to drive directly to the Jiangjin City Public Security Bureau.
Sun Aimin has already discussed with Professor Zhou about his search for the victim.
Professor Zhou has many students and a wide network of contacts. Since they don't know any important people, they can only keep bothering Professor Zhou.
For Professor Zhou, this wasn't a big deal. His daughter had been horribly harmed by human traffickers, and if Sun Aimin and his colleagues hadn't stepped in, her fate would have been even worse.
The old couple has only one daughter. If something happens to the child, and no one finds her alive or dead, they don’t know how to live on.
Although my daughter is hurt now, at least she is back.
Because of this, if Sun Aimin is in need, he will definitely do his utmost to help. Moreover, what Sun Aimin is doing is a good thing that benefits society, so he has no reason not to support him.
The major human trafficking case previously supervised by the province was solved, and the police officers involved in the investigation were commended.
In their efforts to solve such a major case, civilian anti-trafficking workers like Sun Aimin played a significant role, and Professor Zhou's role in bridging the gap was also indispensable.
So if Professor Zhou now tells someone that there is a new clue in a human trafficking case, it would be like giving them an opportunity to make meritorious service.
Jiangjin City was not affected by the previous Zhanjiazhuang case, and the police officers were unable to help despite being eager to do so.
After Professor Zhou’s acquaintances made a note of the case, the Jiangjin City Public Security Bureau attached great importance to it.
It was precisely because of this that Sun Aimin put aside his concerns and chose to take Li Yuming and the child directly to the police station to report the case.
The driver drove for more than two hours before arriving at the Municipal Public Security Bureau. At this time, the Public Security Bureau was about to go off work, and only the staff on duty were left.
After the two entered the house, they explained the whole story and left a report. At the same time, the staff collected hair from Li Yuming and the child as testing samples and asked them to go back and wait for news.
After coming out of the police station, Li Yuming was in a panic holding the child who was crying for his mother.
Sun Aimin took the child from his hands, held the child in a very comfortable position, and played with the child. The child soon calmed down and started giggling.
Li Yuming was amazed: "Brother Sun, you are so good. How did you do it? Why does this child keep crying in my arms?"
Sun Aimin smiled and said, "What else could it be? You're just not comfortable holding him. Learn more in the future, and you'll know how to coax a child after a while. I have two children at home, and I've already gained experience in coaxing them."
Li Yuming was afraid that the child would start crying again when he was in his hands, so he simply asked Sun Aimin to help coax him for a while.
"Brother Sun, what should we do next? How about you come home with me today, have something to eat at home in the evening, and then hand the child to my wife tomorrow, and we'll go out to a restaurant!" Li Yuming said.
Sun Aimin said, "The child just came back, and the police told you to keep him while we wait for the test results. You and your wife just need to take good care of the child for now."
I'll go with you to send the child back first, and then I'll go to my eldest brother-in-law's house tonight. I've been out for several days, so I have to go back quickly tomorrow. As for the meal, there will be plenty of opportunities later..."
Li Yuming didn't know how to thank Sun Aimin anymore, so he said, "How about we have dinner at my house tonight before leaving? I'll ask my wife to make some snacks, and we can have a couple of drinks together?"
Li Yuming usually likes to have a drink with his meals. It's summer now, and a bottle of ice-cold beer with his meal is just the perfect thing to do. Sometimes his wife even joins him for a drink.
Sun Aimin still evaded the question, saying, "After we send the child back later, you two will be busy. Take good care of the child first, and we'll get together again when I come over next time."
Seeing Sun Aimin say this, Li Yuming stopped pushing and said, "Okay. Then it's a deal between us two. Next time I come, I'll treat you. You must do me the honor!"
"Okay, you'll definitely be treated to that meal next time. It's getting late, so let's take the child home first. If there are elderly people at home who can help, let them come and take care of the child for a few days and teach you two how to take care of a child."
Sun Aimin held the child and hailed a taxi with Li Yuming. While driving, he explained to Li Yuming the things to pay attention to when raising a child.
Now he has become a parenting expert, and Li Yuming is full of admiration for him.
Especially when he arrived at his neighborhood and was "handing over" the child, the child started crying again in his arms, crying so hard that his head hurt. His admiration for Sun Aimin reached its peak at this moment.
Sun Aimin watched Li Yuming carry the child into the community before returning to the taxi and reporting Yuan Heng's home address.
The next morning, he went to the train station again and bought the fastest train ticket to another place.
The train was bound for Shi Dayong and Zheng Xiaojuan's hometown. The two were working in Jiangjin City and their families lived in another place.
Zheng Xiaojuan worked almost all the way to the birth of her baby after she became pregnant. She went to Jiangjin First Hospital to give birth, but the doctor told her the baby had a congenital heart disease and would be difficult to raise.
The couple didn't have much money to begin with, and if they had to raise a child like this, their life would become even more difficult.
The couple ultimately decided to give up the child. They lived in a rental apartment. Many landlords were averse to tenants having their babies confinement in their rental homes, believing it was unlucky to have someone confine themselves in their own apartment.
When Zheng Xiaojuan came back from the hospital, the landlord didn't even let them in. Instead, he refunded the remaining rent, packed up their luggage, and told them to find another place to live.
Zheng Xiaojuan was unemployed, and Shi Dayong was just doing odd jobs, not a formal one. The couple discussed it and decided to return home.
