"I heard from Xiao Qin that Lanlan knows some martial arts, and since she's on a train, she shouldn't be in too much danger."
Grandpa Chen comforted Grandma Chen, and upon hearing this, Grandma Chen said, "If there isn't much danger, then there is still a risk factor."
She used a declarative tone.
Seeing the anxiety in Mrs. Chen's eyes, Mr. Chen said, "There are train police officers on the train, and Lanlan is calm and collected. If there is any danger, she will definitely talk to the train police officers first before taking any action."
As Grandpa Chen finished speaking, Li Jumei suddenly thought of something and said, "Could it be that Lanlan got on that train...could it be related to the two female educated youths who went missing from our village?"
Grandpa Chen, Grandma Chen, and Chen Dongxu were all taken aback. After the three of them came to their senses, Grandma Chen asked, "What exactly happened?"
Li Jumei immediately recounted the whole story of how Yuan Xiaoya and He Xiaomiao disappeared on the same day.
"This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous!"
Old Master Chen suddenly raised his voice, his face turning even more grim. He said, "They kidnap people in broad daylight! Don't they have any respect for the law?!"
Grandpa Chen didn't believe they had disappeared without a trace. In his opinion, Li Jumei and the villagers' guesses were pretty much correct: Yuan Xiaoya and He Xiaomiao were very likely in the hands of kidnappers.
"Grandpa, those kidnappers only do that kind of work because they think it's a quick way to make money. Besides, most of them are probably illiterate and don't really understand the country's laws."
Thus, the ignorant are fearless and specifically target women and children in order to increase their own and their families' income.
Furthermore, the current laws in our country impose relatively lenient penalties on human traffickers. Therefore, knowing they won't face severe consequences, they are naturally willing to take the risk.
Even after being arrested and released, they continued that inhumane way of making a living.
Chen Dongxu shared his opinion.
Grandpa Chen did not respond, but he knew that Chen Dongxu's words made sense.
Because the cost is so low, human traffickers are rampant.
Another reason is that some people are not well-educated or have a low level of education, and therefore lack understanding of the country's laws, making them unable to resist the temptation of money and turning to crime.
"Did Lanlan perhaps see those two abducted female educated youths by chance at the train station, and because of the time crunch, she didn't have time to greet you before rushing to rescue them?"
Grandma Chen shared her guesses, stating that, broadly speaking, she would definitely support her beloved granddaughter's decision.
But what if her precious granddaughter gets hurt while saving someone?
"Grandma, I think that's the right way!"
Chen Dongxu replied.
Time passed, and then the landline suddenly rang.
Grandpa Chen was sitting on the sofa next to the landline. He picked up the receiver casually and said, "Hello... Lanlan! Are you alright?"
It's good that you're alright. What? So your mom was right! Okay... I'm glad you're safe. Okay, I'll tell your grandma and your mom...
Da Bao and Er Bao are being very well-behaved; the two brothers are quite lively right now… Okay, that's settled then. I'll send a car to the train station right away…
Without a doubt, the call was from Song Lan. Upon learning that she was safe, Old Master Chen finally felt relieved.
He hung up the phone and looked at Grandma Chen and her daughter-in-law Li Jumei, saying, "Meizi was right, Lanlan really did see Xiaoya by accident."
Without thinking twice, she ran to rescue them... but unexpectedly, the train suddenly started moving. However, with the help of the train police, she not only rescued Xiaoya and another female educated youth,
And by catching all the traffickers, we might be able to dismantle a large human trafficking network!
Grandpa Chen was proud of Song Lan, and he was very proud of her, feeling that she was indeed worthy of being his granddaughter.
He was skilled in medicine and martial arts; if he lived in ancient times, he would definitely be considered a man of both literary and martial talents!
The Chen family comes from a military family, and having a promising young man who is skilled in both literature and martial arts is definitely a blessing for the Chen family.
"How come Lanlan is so good at everything? Compared to her, I'm just a good-for-nothing street urchin!"
Chen Dongxu sighed.
"It's impressive that you even know you're ignorant and incompetent."
Grandpa Chen looked at Chen Dongxu with disdain, and then said, "You're an uncle now, an elder to Da Bao and Er Bao. If you don't work hard and achieve something, you'll be laughed at by Da Bao and Er Bao in the future!"
"Grandpa, I'm already making progress!"
Chen Dongxu feigned grievance: "Since I started working, I haven't been wasting time; I've been truly and honestly working every day."
Putting aside everything else, you can tell from my performance results.
"Is he really that capable?"
Old Master Chen was skeptical.
"As the old saying goes, 'A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days of separation.' Grandpa, you can't always look at me with old eyes."
Besides, there's a saying, "A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold." Anyway, I've really made a change and want to do something worthwhile.
After all, my older brother and younger sister Lanlan are so capable, and I'm their blood brother and sister. How can I fall behind and be a good-for-nothing who can't be helped for the rest of my life?
"Grandma believes what you say."
Grandma Chen looked at Chen Dongxu with a smile and loving eyes.
Li Jumei: "My second aunt also believes what you said!"
"Thank you, Grandma! Thank you, Auntie! Thank you for believing me and not thinking I'm lying!"
Chen Dongxu was all smiles.
When Grandpa Chen saw that his grandson hadn't thanked him, he snorted coldly, his expression incredibly arrogant.
"Grandpa, is your nose stuffy? Could you have caught a cold?"
Chen Dongxu said this intentionally. Upon hearing this, Old Master Chen glared and said, "My nose is perfectly fine, and I have no health problems. If you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Dongxu laughed out loud: "You're jealous! You saw me thanking Grandma and Second Aunt, but not you..."
"Shut your mouth, I'm not that petty!"
Although he said that, Old Master Chen couldn't help but snort again.
This amused both Mrs. Chen and Li Jumei.
Second floor.
Zhang Hua felt very uncomfortable when she heard laughter coming from the living room on the first floor. She was standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor, coldly watching Grandpa Chen and his wife, Chen Dongxu, and Li Jumei laughing and talking.
When her gaze fell on the child in Li Jumei and Old Mrs. Chen's arms, her expression froze for a moment, then she seemed to realize something, and her eyes turned particularly unfriendly.
Little bastard!
That bastard child born to that bitch, don't let her find a chance...
With a sinister glint in her eyes, Zhang Hua hated Song Lan for ruining her plans—to save Chen Dongsheng and help Chen Dongxu heal his legs!
Yes, she was certain that Chen Dongsheng survived because Song Lan lent a helping hand in time, helping Jiang Yunzhen save Chen Dongsheng's life.
Furthermore, it was confirmed that Chen Dongxu's legs could be fully restored, which was also due to Song Lan's efforts.
