Because of this incident, Song Mingzhou and Song Liyun's home time after school was strictly regulated, and they were not allowed to linger outside at will.
The two children were also frightened and dared not do anything reckless, doing whatever Wang Ya said.
The brother and sister waited until Wang Ya got off work before returning to Heping Lane together.
Wang Ya first took the two to the Song family home and told Grandpa Song, Grandma Song, and Xu Guiying about the matter, asking the twins to be more careful. Then, Wang Ya went to Song Yun's house, where the two kids acted like little drama queens, gesturing wildly and talking about how fast they ran.
Mo Baiyuan is already over ten years old, much older than the two children. He has a calm personality and is even quieter than Song Muchuan. When he heard Wang Ya's words, he nodded and said, "I understand, Third Sister-in-law."
Song Yun frowned. "Damn human traffickers! We've caught them so many times, yet they keep popping up. Why don't these people just die?!"
Wang Ya: "I don't think I'll die yet. I'll just be caught and executed."
Wang Ya also hates these human traffickers. It's all because of these people that so many families have been displaced and destroyed.
Song Yun wanted Wang Ya to stay for dinner, but Wang Ya declined, saying that Song Anmin should have already prepared it at home.
The two little devils, Song Mingzhou and Song Liyun, were so restless and anxious all day. Song Mingzhou didn't want to go home that night and stayed at his third uncle's place until dark. Song Jianmin finally came to pick him up, having already heard about what happened to the two kids that day, and was still feeling lingering fear.
"You two, you're not allowed to join in the fun next time, understand?"
Song Liyun pecked at the rice like a chick, "Okay, okay."
Song Mingzhou clenched his little fists. "Dad, you almost didn't get to see me today."
Fortunately, Song Mingzhou was quick-witted and reacted in time. He grabbed Song Liyun and ran away, shouting loudly. If there were other people hiding in the alley and houses at that time, each holding a child, neither of the siblings would have been able to escape.
Song Jianmin patted Song Mingzhou on the head, "Thanks to you today."
Song Liyun followed up, "Thank you, brother."
Just now at the police station, Song Mingzhou had already received praise from the police officers, so he was quite dismissive of his father's praise. "Can I have three get-out-of-jail-free cards?"
Chen Zhou had previously stipulated to Song Mingzhou that sweeping the floor or wiping the table could be exchanged for a quarter of the "immunity token," and once four tokens were collected, one "immunity token" would be awarded, allowing him to avoid being beaten once.
Song Jianmin's lips twitched slightly. "It's possible, but let me tell you, this get-out-of-jail-free card only protects you from minor beatings. If you do something else wrong next time, you'll still get a beating."
Song Mingzhou: "You're being long-winded!"
The remaining people: "..."
During the following period, children in Heping Lane and the surrounding area, including kindergarten and primary school children, were very careful when going to and from school, and their parents picked them up and dropped them off.
Nothing happened for the next month.
But one day after National Day...
When Wang Ya returned home, she brought up Tong Anqu with a complicated expression.
Song Anmin's eyes widened. "What happened to Tong Anqu this time?"
Wang Ya sighed. Tong Anqu didn't seem like Liu Aimei, but she still felt that something was off.
Stop keeping me in suspense!
In addition to targeting kindergartens and primary schools, the human traffickers have also set their sights on high schools. It is currently unclear whether this is the same group committing the crimes.
Although Tong Anqu grew up in an orphanage, he would tutor younger students whenever he had time, saving up for his college tuition in advance.
He was in charge of a fifth-grade student and a seventh-grade student.
Just yesterday afternoon, Tong Anqu and the other first-year junior high school girls were going to her house for tutoring after class. However, there was temporary construction on a section of the road on their way home, so they took a less crowded side road instead. Little did they know that they would run into the car full of human traffickers.
Tong Anqu grabbed the middle school student and ran. The girl was slow and was quickly caught. Tong Anqu had no choice but to go back and drag her away.
In the back-and-forth trip, both of them were loaded into the car.
Finally, when the girl's parents realized that neither of them had returned home, they had no choice but to go to the school to look for them and, as a last resort, called the police.
There were other people in the van. Tong Anqu never expected that what had happened to Liu Aimei before would happen to him.
Upon arriving at the meeting point, Tong Anqu pretended to have a stomachache and needed to go to the toilet. After scouting the route, perhaps because the group thought the elementary and middle school students were too weak, they left only one strong man to guard them.
If Tong Anqu could be ruthless enough to kill Liu Aimei a few years ago, let alone a stranger, he picked up a brick and smashed it on the man's head. One smash wasn't enough, so he smashed it several more times.
Tong Anqu couldn't control others, but he had to control the students he was teaching. So Tong Anqu carried her over the wall, and he climbed over the wall himself. The two of them ran all the way. The students realized what was happening and tried to run after them, but the commotion had already gotten too big. Apart from Tong Anqu and the girl, no one else could escape.
Tong Anqu dragged her along and hid in a haystack. The next morning, Tong Anqu led her to steal clothes and coats that were hanging out to dry in someone else's house, and also gave the girl a hat to wear.
Tong Anqu didn't trust anyone else, so they took all the back roads and small paths until they got back to the city, their feet covered in blisters.
The family was grateful for Tong Anqu's actions and decided to cover his tuition fees for the entire university period, giving him a lump sum of 30,000 yuan.
That is, something that happened during the day today.
Tong Anqu has been taken away by the people from the welfare home.
After listening to Wang Ya's words, Song Anmin also fell silent, his face equally complicated. "Did Tong Anqu choose the wrong path when he was reincarnated?"
Wang Ya shrugged. "If the Tong family hadn't fallen, his fate wouldn't have come to this."
Today, the high school teachers and principal also came. They said that tomorrow they must praise Tong Anqu in front of the whole school. Tong Anqu was already the top student in the grade, and now he is even more outstanding in both character and conduct.
