Li Qingqing hugged the child in her arms tightly, wishing she could tie all three children to herself.
“I’ve heard that there have been a lot of children going missing lately. We’ve already encountered one at the hospital, Yingying. What should we do now?”
We're already on the train, we can't let this continue, can we?
Shu Ying teased Tuan Tuan with one hand, acting as if nothing had happened.
"The train is still moving. As long as it doesn't stop, we are safe for the time being. Regardless of whether their target is the child or not, we should still be careful."
It's a pity that Tuantuan can't enter the space, otherwise, if there are special circumstances, we can just leave the three children at home, which would save a lot of trouble.
“The three children are still so young, and there isn’t a single man in our group. It’s easy for them to be targeted. If the children need to go to the toilet, we will follow them closely and make sure we don’t give them the chance.”
Tuantuan was alright; he was only a few days old and did nothing but drink milk and sleep. He was held the whole time on the train and was basically never out of his sight, so those people naturally had no chance to succeed.
Li Qingqing was worried that at night, when people are most tired, they might neglect something.
Shu Ying picked up the water glass on the table, unscrewed the lid, and took a sip of water.
While the cup blocked other people's view, she scanned the surroundings again and finally confirmed her guess.
"The well-dressed couple diagonally across from us are suspicious. We just need to keep a close eye on them."
Li Qingqing dared not make any large movements, and could only pretend to look at the location of the water room, glancing at it casually.
The woman was dressed smartly, and the man next to her was dressed in a suit and tie; she didn't see anything wrong with him.
Shu Ying noticed her confusion: "Look, that woman is leaning affectionately on the man's shoulder, but her body is leaning in the opposite direction. This means that their relationship is not as good as it seems."
She subtly withdrew her gaze: "And look at the child in her arms."
Li Qingqing glanced over quietly, keeping her body very low to the ground.
“They got on the bus at the same place as us, but the child in their arms hasn’t made a sound since getting on the bus, just like a fake doll.”
“We both have experience with childbirth. If it’s a normal, healthy baby, it’s impossible for them to sleep for so long. But if it’s a baby with a physical problem, they will only cry more. Even a deaf-mute person will wiggle their limbs.”
But the child remained quiet throughout, a strange calmness lurking beneath, and the frequent glances he gave her made Shu Ying suspicious.
Li Qingqing also noticed something amiss: "You're right, it's so obvious, how come I didn't even notice? Tuantuan is already one of the more carefree children, but at least he'll cry when he's hungry or wet. They've been in the car for so long, and they haven't fed him or changed his diaper. This child is like still water. Yingying, they..."
Li Qingqing didn't say what came next, but she felt a chill run down her spine.
She looked down at the child in her arms, her expression growing increasingly tense.
Shu Ying placed the water glass back on the small table, turned to look out the window, and gently stroked Yueyue's hair with one hand, her voice soft.
