After watching them leave, Master Wu looked at Lan Guoer and asked curiously,
"Why do you think this was done by a flight attendant? How dare this flight attendant kidnap someone from a soft sleeper car? Is he trying to kill himself?"
Lan Guoer raised an eyebrow at him and asked, "Besides the flight attendant, do you have any other breakthroughs?"
Only Lan Guoer knew the truth. The reason she raised this point was because she had read a report about human traffickers committing crimes in her previous life.
In the report, a human trafficking leader confessed the various methods they used to abduct women and children.
What shocked and impressed Lan Guoer the most was that they actually colluded with the train attendants, using drugs, deception and other means. At most, they abducted an entire carriage of women and children without making a sound!
However, the human trafficking leader was not arrested by the police until fifty years after the incident.
If we calculate the time when the human trafficker committed the crime, isn’t it exactly during this period?
Although this and her previous life are two parallel worlds, the two time and space have so many similarities that Lan Guoer has reason to suspect that similar events may occur during this period.
Seeing her expression, Mr. Wu thought she was just guessing, so he didn't ask any more questions. He told her to close the door and not come out unless necessary, and then went back to his room to catch up on his sleep.
After dawn, before Lan Guoer opened her eyes, someone knocked on the door.
Then, Master Wu's cold voice came from outside.
"It's you again! It's one thing to not let me sleep well at night, but you come to bother me so early in the morning? Who taught you to be so rude?"
"I...I'm not!" The young man scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I was just anxious to bring my sister here to thank that girl. I didn't... didn't want to disturb her."
Facing the powerful Master Wu, the young man's arrogance from last night disappeared completely, and at this moment he was as well-behaved as a child facing his elders.
"Yes, sir! I heard from my younger brother that it was thanks to that girl's reminder that he was able to find the key to the problem and rescue me from the criminals.
That girl can be considered a benefactor of our Ye family. I was anxious to come here to thank her, so I was a little anxious. Please forgive me, sir."
The girl next to the young man explained at the right time.
Master Wu glanced at the two of them and saw that they were dressed elegantly and appropriately, had good manners and conversation, and did not seem to have any impure intentions.
Go past them and knock on the door.
"Guo'er, are you up yet? That little rabbit came with his sister last night to thank you. Do you want to see her?"
Lan Guoer had heard everything that happened outside clearly.
By now she had finished washing up and opened the door.
"You, you are the one who saved me last night?"
Hua Yaoyao widened her eyes slightly and looked straight at the girl in front of her, with an expression of mixed surprise and gratitude on her face.
Even though she grew up in a place like Hai City where there were so many beautiful women, she had never seen such an extraordinary and stunning woman.
Her eyes stayed on Lan Guoer, and she couldn't help but look her up and down.
Lan Guoer was wearing a beige woolen coat today. Her face was still slightly moist because she had just washed up, which made her skin look even more fair and radiant. Her long, shiny black hair brushed over her fair and slender neck like a waterfall and fell naturally on her shoulders.
Even as a woman, Hua Yaoyao was deeply attracted by her appearance and temperament. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that there really are such women in the world who are unforgettable at first sight!
What made her feel honored was that this fairy-like girl was actually her savior!
At the same time, Lan Guoer was also watching her.
The girl was as tall and built as she was, with long eyebrows and clear eyes. She had the dignified, beautiful and gentle appearance of a Jiangnan woman.
"My benefactor, it's really thanks to you that you woke my little brother up last night, otherwise... I might have already..."
Thinking of what happened last night, Hua Yaoyao was still frightened, and her voice was choked with sobs.
"I was just giving you a casual reminder, it's nothing more than a small favor! You don't have to take it to heart. The best thing is that you're okay!"
From the expressions of the two people, Lan Guoer could tell that the brother and sister probably didn't get much rest all night. They came to thank her at dawn, which was really thoughtful of them.
"How dare I not remember your life-saving grace in my heart! May I know your name? My surname is Hua, my given name is Yaoyao, and this is my younger brother, Hua Yichen!"
Hua Yaoyao pulled Hua Yichen to her side and introduced him.
"My surname is Lan, and my given name is Guoer." Lan Guoer gave her name generously.
"Your last name is Hua? From the Haishi Hua family?"
When Master Wu heard the two introduce themselves, he looked them over again and asked, "Who is Huazhou Hai to you?"
"You knew my father?"
When Hua Yichen heard Master Wu mention his father's name, he stared at him with eyes full of confusion.
Hua Yaoyao's eyes flashed, as if she had thought of something! She looked at Lan Guoer and asked anxiously, "The benefactor's surname is Lan, but is he related to the Lan family in Haishi?"
From what Mr. Wu said, Lan Guoer felt that he had some connection with the Hua family. She looked up at him, not knowing whether she should answer the question.
"You girl, you have some of your grandmother's spirit in you! You're smart too!"
Master Wu looked at Hua Yaoyao with satisfaction and replied,
"You guessed right. Guo'er is Old Madam Lan's biological granddaughter and the current head of our Lan family."
After hearing what Master Wu said, Hua Yaoyao and Hua Yichen were so shocked that their eyes widened at the same time and looked at Lan Guoer!
How prominent the Lan family was back then!
Since they were young, they have often heard their grandparents say that their Hua family has been able to survive to this day thanks to the support of the Lan family!
Unexpectedly, during their long journey, they received the favor of the current head of the Lan family. This is truly the fate of the two families!
But, isn’t it said that the only ones left in the Lan family are Old Madam Lan and her two godsons?
This...how come there is suddenly another legitimate granddaughter?
Although she was confused, she also realized that this was not the time to ask such questions. Hua Yaoyao turned to look at Master Wu and bowed deeply to him, her attitude even more respectful than before.
"Please forgive Yaoyao and Yichen for being rude. May I ask whether Yaoyao should address you as... Third Master or Fifth Master?"
"Given the relationship between Madam Hua and my godmother, you can just call me Uncle Wu!"
After learning that it was an old friend, Master Wu's expression was no longer tense. Instead, he became more playful like an old child. He pointed to the door next door as if offering a treasure, "Your third uncle is still asleep in there. When he wakes up, I will introduce you to someone else."
Lan Guoer looked at him making faces and shook her head helplessly!
Maybe the Third Master is a big treasure in Master Wu’s heart!
