Chapter 313 Human Traffickers
One of the older women, with a kind smile on her face, said warmly, "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that you two look very familiar, like I've seen you somewhere before."
“Yes, the more I look at them, the more they resemble each other! They look exactly like my sister’s two kids! Where are you going?” Another older woman quickly chimed in.
Shen Xiaoxiao pondered to herself, whether these two old ladies had really mistaken her for someone else, or if it was intentional. Unsure, she gave Shen Xiaochuan a look, signaling him to keep quiet for the time being.
Shen Xiaochuan understood immediately, and calmly perked up, asking again, "Auntie, is there anything I can help you with? We've never seen you before; you must have mistaken us for someone else."
"Oh, it's nothing, maybe we mistook you for someone else!" The two older women smiled and then started chatting with the brother and sister again.
However, no matter how much the two elderly women talked on and on, the brother and sister remained unmoved and ignored their words.
The two chattered incessantly in front of the siblings as if they had accomplished an important mission, completely disregarding each other's feelings.
Seeing that the two of them couldn't continue the conversation, they had no choice but to shut their mouths in frustration.
The Shen siblings remained silent, seemingly oblivious to their presence.
The train sped along the tracks for nearly ten hours, and the sound of the wheels hitting the rails was particularly clear in the quiet night.
All the lights on the train had been turned off, and the carriages were pitch black, with only a faint glimmer of light occasionally filtering in from outside the windows.
Most of the passengers were sound asleep, and the carriage was filled with a quiet atmosphere.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by an announcement: "The train is about to arrive at Yujia Station. Passengers who wish to disembark, please prepare to get off." The announcement echoed in the darkness, repeated three times.
Yujia Station is probably a small station, so basically no one gets off here.
The two women in the opposite seats exchanged a glance, seemingly conveying some kind of message to each other.
Their movements were so subtle that they were almost imperceptible, but Shen Xiaochuan remained vigilant, his eyes always open, showing no signs of sleepiness.
When he saw the two women's subtle actions, his vigilance instantly rose to its highest level.
Just then, a slightly plump older woman said softly to Shen Xiaochuan, "Young man, I'd like to get a cup of hot water, could you help me?" Her voice was somewhat cautious, as if she was afraid of disturbing others.
Shen Xiaochuan replied expressionlessly, "Sorry, I'm busy. I'm in this corridor. You can go and fight yourselves." His tone was cold, leaving no room for negotiation.
Shen Xiaoxiao, who was about to fall asleep, woke up when she heard voices.
Just as Shen Xiaochuan finished speaking, he suddenly saw that the old lady had somehow produced a spray-like substance in her hand, which she was spraying towards him and his sister.
Shen Xiaochuan tried to hold his breath, but it was too late. His head grew heavier and heavier, and he simply fell asleep on the table.
Shen Xiaochuan never dreamed that they would have this kind of medicine.
Shen Xiaoxiao sat by the window, a little distance from the two of them, which allowed her to react more quickly in case of danger.
When she noticed a strange smell in the air, her nerves immediately tensed up.
She quickly took out a silver needle from her personal space and inserted it into her acupoints without hesitation.
The injection instantly cleared her mind.
After the previous incident, Shen Xiaoxiao resolved to research various date rape drugs, hallucinogens, and corresponding antidotes.
After a period of effort, she has gained a fairly in-depth understanding of these drugs.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of the two women, Shen Xiaoxiao pretended to be drugged and leaned limply towards Shen Xiaochuan.
Her movements appeared natural, but in fact every detail was carefully designed.
The two women were clearly experienced in this area, and seemed quite used to such situations.
They watched without fear as the brother and sister collapsed on the table, then looked around to make sure no one was watching. They exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly.
One of the women strode out the door without hesitation, and soon after, she led three burly, tall men back in.
The woman who had been sitting and watching over Shen Xiaoxiao and Shen Xiaochuan immediately lowered her voice and said when she saw these people, "Brother, take them away quickly!"
Just as the two were about to help Chen Xiaochuan up, the train entered a tunnel. It was pitch black and they couldn't see anything, not even the moonlight.
The two had no choice but to stand there and wait until they passed through the tunnel before making their move.
They were confident in the effects of their drug and knew the victims couldn't possibly wake up so quickly, so they stood by and waited with peace of mind.
Taking advantage of this perfect opportunity, Shen Xiaoxiao carefully placed the antidote under Shen Xiaochuan's nose and let him smell it.
She had put in a tremendous amount of effort to create this antidote! While making it, she kept recalling scenes of antidotes she had seen on TV. After repeated attempts and careful consideration, she finally succeeded in concocting the antidote.
Just then, Shen Xiaoxiao felt Shen Xiaochuan's hand move slightly, which made Shen Xiaoxiao's heart tighten.
She quickly reached out and grabbed Shen Xiaochuan's hand, then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Brother, don't move around. Pretend you're still unconscious."
Although Shen Xiaochuan was a little confused, upon hearing his sister's words, he immediately remembered what had happened before he fainted.
He quickly composed himself, closed his eyes without making a sound, and continued to pretend to be unconscious.
The train quickly emerged from the tunnel, and moonlight streamed in. Using this light, two men rushed forward to help Shen Xiaochuan, while the two women sitting opposite quickly helped Shen Xiaoxiao up. The group then supported each other as they made their way to another carriage.
It wasn't that no one noticed; a woman in her early twenties sitting opposite saw it and was so frightened that she trembled.
He quickly lowered his head and pretended not to see.
There was also a bag that the brother and sister had used for decoration, which they were carrying empty-handed, as well as bags that the two women carried themselves.
These bags looked heavy and were filled with various items, but the big man carried them effortlessly.
Before long, they arrived at another carriage. This carriage was relatively quiet and had fewer passengers.
As they entered the carriage, the train slowly pulled into the station, the sound of wheels rubbing against the rails echoing in the air.
As the train braked, a group of people quickly stood in place and disembarked in an orderly manner.
