"Sister-in-law, let me go with you."
"It's alright, Xin'er. It's rare for you to come to town, so accompany your mother and grandma to have a good look around. Buy anything you want, don't be shy."
"I'll go check it out and be right back."
Although Chu Xin'er wanted to be with Ye Nian'an, she hadn't been to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things for a long time.
With Jin Xiangyu and Chi Xinyao accompanying her this time, she could only nod and say, "Okay, sister-in-law, please be careful."
"What danger could there be in going to a scrap metal recycling station? Don't worry about it."
Ye Nian'an turned around and passed through several alleys before arriving at the town's scrap metal recycling station.
The owner of the waste recycling station was an old man who was sitting in a rocking chair, squinting his eyes, watching people come and go, fanning himself, looking extremely content.
"Sir, do you still sell any used books here?"
Ye Nian'an thought that since Chi Xinyao and Chu Xin'er had made up their minds to take the teacher exam, she should take this opportunity to get them more books to read and review so that they would be more confident.
Although Ye Nian'an had previously collected some items from the recycling station and given them to them during training at the town commune.
But those few books must have been worn out from being read so many times by the two of them.
I'm rushing to find new course materials while I still have time to review for the exam.
The old man at the recycling station still remembered Ye Nian'an and said cheerfully, "It's you, Comrade Ye. All the books we recently collected are kept here for you. Take a look."
"Thank you, sir!"
Ye Nian'an responded sweetly, then began flipping through discarded books and newspapers, her eyes lighting up shortly afterward.
Several months have passed, and since Ye Nian'an had asked the old man to leave some books and newspapers beforehand, quite a few of them are now coming in handy.
"Sir, I'll take all these books and newspapers. Could you calculate the price for me?"
"The price is still the same as before, one cent per pound, but with so much, are you sure you can carry it all?"
"Girl, you don't have to force yourself to buy so much. Just buy as much as you need. I don't need these things to make a living."
“It’s alright, sir. My family lives nearby. I’ll have them come and lend a hand. I can donate the rest of the books and newspapers to the village primary school. The children there really need these.”
Ye Nian'an smiled slightly: "Sir, if it's alright, you can help me move these to the alley entrance."
"Well, it's rare to find such a kind-hearted girl like you these days~ The kids are so lucky."
After helping to move these discarded books and newspapers to the alley entrance, Ye Nian'an took advantage of the fact that no one was around and immediately put them into her spatial storage.
Ye Nian'an has already compiled the books that Chi Xinyao and Chu Xin'er will need for their exams, and will take them out for them later.
The remainder will be donated directly to rural primary schools.
Anyway, there are plenty of excuses that can be used, and it's much easier than moving back. It's also a good deed and a way to pray for both families.
Just as Ye Nian'an finished shopping and was about to leave, she suddenly saw a furtive figure dart into the alley ahead.
In broad daylight, the person was wearing a hat, completely covering their face, and was also holding an unconscious child in their arms.
Ye Nian'an instinctively sensed a dangerous aura.
Could it be...?
Are they human traffickers?!
Ye Nian'an wanted to call for help, but if she didn't keep an eye on things now, the traffickers would probably have already run off to some corner with the child and never be found again.
After much deliberation, and only hesitating for two seconds, Ye Nian'an decided to quietly follow them.
In short, act according to circumstances.
When she had nothing to do, Ye Nian'an, whose body was enhanced by the spiritual spring water, was strong and energetic, so she asked Chu Yan to teach her a few simple, powerful, and self-defense techniques.
I've been practicing in private for several months now, so dealing with a few amateur thugs isn't a problem.
The key point is that Ye Nian'an is now very strong.
A single punch aimed at the opponent's weak point can easily knock them unconscious.
The Chu family members, who also drank the spiritual spring water to strengthen their bodies, did not experience such significant effects.
Perhaps it's because the owner of the space is himself.
It contained some kind of mysterious power, so surging that, as time passed, the owner was unknowingly affected in terms of physique.
If all else fails, run away and hide in the space.
After following the human traffickers through the winding alleyways, in a dark corner, a man was squatting there smoking.
Upon seeing the human traffickers arrive, the man immediately threw his cigarette on the ground, stomped it out, and shouted in a rough voice.
"Why did it take so long? I've been waiting for you here for four or five days!"
"Brother, there's really nothing we can do. This child is different. After he was lost, the investigation in the capital was very strict, and I almost couldn't bring him out."
"It would be good if it were four or five days later. I almost gave myself away on the train and was caught by the police on duty. Luckily, I had a quick thinking, otherwise I would never have seen you."
"But why choose such a remote place? If it were near the capital, I could have finished my job immediately."
The human trafficker couldn't help but complain.
"Forget it, stop talking nonsense. Just give me the child and you can get lost. You'll get all the money, not a penny less."
"Alright."
He basically just pays people to do things; as long as the money is right, anything is negotiable.
After finishing this job, he won't need to take on any more work for a long time. He'll have to find a remote, deserted rural area to hide in for a while.
After all, this child's identity is far from ordinary!
Ye Nian quietly observed all of this.
Thanks to the amplification provided by the spiritual spring water, her five senses are now vastly different from what they used to be.
If you listen attentively and are at a sufficient distance, you can still hear something even if the other person is speaking in a low voice.
Therefore, Ye Nian'an knew that the child who was abducted by human traffickers came from the capital and had a very unusual identity.
So the man who bought the child might be a spy or agent.
They want to use this child to achieve some ulterior motive and endanger national security.
As a Chinese person born and raised under the red flag, and educated in patriotism by the Ye and Chu families, Ye Nian'an would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen!
They confirmed that, apart from the human traffickers and spies, no third person was present.
It seems that capturing this child is a top-secret mission. The fewer people who know about it, the lower the risk of the operation being leaked.
After the human traffickers left, Ye Nian'an couldn't worry about anything else for the time being; what she had to do was to snatch the unconscious child from the secret agents.
While the agent was holding the child and had his back to Ye Nian'an...
A fantastic opportunity!
