Wu Yuanyuan and Bu Ling exchanged a glance and walked outside together.
Outside, quite a few people were jolted awake by that shout.
The one who said this was Sister Mo, her cheeks flushed red, from excitement and from the cold.
"Xiao Mo, did you really catch him?" Aunt Lan asked anxiously.
"Where is the child? Has he been found?" Aunt Zhao asked.
"Where was it caught?" Ming Xiangru asked anxiously.
Sister Mo gasped for breath, "Everyone, don't panic, don't panic, listen to me!"
"This human trafficker is being held at the police station right now!" Sister Mo came back to her parents' home today, but in the afternoon, people from the police came and took her father away, saying that the human trafficker had been caught.
Upon hearing this, she couldn't sit still any longer and immediately dragged Da Bao back, wanting to tell everyone in the courtyard the good news.
"Where's the child? Has he been found?" Ming Xiangru pressed, as she also had children and couldn't bear to see such things happen.
Sister Mo shook her head. She didn't know either. All she knew was that the kidnapper had been caught.
Although Mo's news was brief, everyone became excited. The human traffickers had been caught, so how far away could the child be?
Because of a piece of news, all the women in the compound sprang into action, taking peanuts and melon seeds with them and going out to find acquaintances, inquire about the news, or spread the word. Everyone was extremely busy.
Even Bu Ling took some melon seeds and left the courtyard. Because of her small business, she was quite popular in this alley.
That evening, Bu Ling returned to the courtyard, still feeling unsatisfied. Just as she rounded the screen wall, she saw the door to the mulberry room open a crack. She turned and walked into the mulberry room.
"Mulberries?"
Inside the room, Sangshen, her phoenix eyes slightly closed, was leisurely rocking in her recliner when she heard Buling's words and her eyes snapped open: "Little..."
Faced with Bu Ling's dangerous gaze, Sang Shen wisely changed her words: "...Ling Ling, why are you back so early?"
Buling didn't act like an outsider and plopped down on Sangshen's bed: "I'm all alone at home anyway, so I might as well come back earlier."
Sangshen stood up from the recliner and sat down next to Buling: "Has the news even reached the family compound?"
“What do you think? Such a big deal?” After a pause, Bu Ling added, “Besides, none of the men in the family compound are here, so the news will spread even faster.”
Mulberries are neither confirmed nor denied.
"Hey? By the way? I heard the human traffickers were caught? What about the children? Have they been found?" Buling asked.
Sangshen grasped Buling's hand: "The investigation is still ongoing, but I believe there will be results soon." Then, he looked at Buling's face and carefully said, "This matter is largely thanks to Han Weiguo."
He knew perfectly well that the little black girl and this man were mutually disgusted.
"Han Weiguo?" Bu Ling thought about it and wasn't surprised. After all, he was the male lead, and he was prone to accidents. "Consider it a good thing he did!" At worst, she would just target him less in the future.
Seeing that Bu Ling's complexion was alright, Sang Shen carefully considered her words and said, "I heard that Han Weiguo has made a great contribution this time, and the public security department may reward him."
Bling glanced at him: "Let them reward me if they want, what does it have to do with me?" Suddenly realizing something, she looked intently at Sangshen: "You don't mean to make me bow down to him, do you?"
Sangshen noticed the dangerous glint in Buling's eyes and hurriedly shook her head: "How could that be? I'm definitely on your side. I just wanted to say that Han Weiguo is not a simple man. If you target him again in the future, call me along, so you won't suffer the consequences."
Bling nodded in satisfaction. That's more like it. "Don't worry, as long as he doesn't bother me, I won't bother with him."
Sangshen flattered, "My Lingling is so kind!"
“I think so too!” Bling said without any modesty.
Sangshen smiled and ruffled her hair. "By the way, did you like the New Year's gift I gave you?"
"I..." Bling was about to answer when a commotion suddenly broke out outside. "...Shall we go out and see?"
"OK!"
Both of them enjoyed joining in the fun, so they hit it off immediately, opened the door, and leaned against the doorframe to watch the excitement.
Inside the courtyard, Han Weiguo returned, but he was wearing a police uniform. Moreover, he was accompanied by two uniformed police officers, one of whom was the middle-aged police officer who had handled the Buling incident last time.
"Comrade Xiao Bu, it's been a long time." The middle-aged policeman greeted Bu Ling kindly.
"Officer Su, it's been a long time. What brings you here?" Bu Ling asked knowingly.
Upon hearing Bu Ling's words, Officer Su patted Han Weiguo's shoulder affectionately: "We're here to present Han with a banner of appreciation. We owe a lot to him for catching the human traffickers this time." As he spoke, his admiration for Han Weiguo was undisguised.
Bu Ling thought to herself, "As expected of the male lead." "Then congratulations, Comrade Han," she said with a forced smile.
Han Weiguo frowned and glanced at her, but didn't say anything.
Officer Su was unaware of the conflict between Bu Ling and Han Weiguo. Seeing Bu Ling congratulating him with a smile, he said happily, "Comrade Bu, you should call Officer Han now. Han is now our colleague at the Public Security Bureau."
"Hehe~" Bling
"Really? Xiao Han, you've really become a police officer?" Aunt Shen asked.
"I could tell when Xiao Han moved in that he was no ordinary person; he was destined for greatness." - Aunt Qi
The neighbors in the courtyard all changed their attitude and began to flatter Han Weiguo. Han Weiguo maintained a calm and composed demeanor, seemingly unmoved by the flattery, remaining aloof and reserved.
Bling curled her lip: "What a disgrace!"
He acted as if no one could see the arrogance in his eyes.
"Officer Su, have those children been found?" Ming Xiangru didn't participate in the flattery; instead, she moved closer to Officer Su.
Officer Su's expression turned serious upon hearing the question: "Not yet."
