"A young girl, and you want a thousand yuan!"
“A newborn boy can be sold for anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars.”
"It really is..."
Qin Jun slammed the ledger heavily on the table in anger.
Qin Yu was also flipping through an account book, his face cold. Looking at the dazzling array of words on it, he felt for the first time that words could be so hateful.
These depict countless broken families.
They described it on paper as a commodity, casually completing the transaction and dividing the money among themselves.
Qin Yu's face was grim, filled with an indescribable gloom.
"You go back first! Tell your mother that I might not be able to come back for a while."
Qin Jun patted Qin Yu on the shoulder. He knew he would be busy for a long time. He had originally planned to bring his wife home.
Looking back now, Xiao Yuqin was actually quite good to Qin Yu.
With someone to look after him, he felt at ease.
"I'll stay with you."
Qin Yu looked at Qin Jun, who knew Qin Yu was worried about him and shook his head with a smile.
“You stay home and look after your mother, Lanlan, and the two children! They need you more than I do.”
The seriousness in Qin Jun's eyes made Qin Yu give up his thoughts.
When Qin Yu got home, he saw Xia Lan sleeping restlessly on the bed and quickly took her into his arms.
"It's alright, it's alright..."
Held in Qin Yu's arms, Xia Lan gradually calmed down and fell asleep in his embrace.
Qin Yu kissed Xia Lan's forehead tenderly.
He held her and fell into a deep sleep.
The morning sunlight shone through the glass onto Xia Lan's face, disturbing her peaceful sleep. She slowly opened her eyes.
Looking at the magnified face in front of her, Xia Lan couldn't help but steal a kiss.
Yesterday's terrifying experience felt like a nightmare, and when she woke up, she was still in Qin Yu's arms.
Everything remains the same as always.
Qin Yu was awakened by Xia Lan's movements, and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Xia Lan's bright smile.
"Awake? Still scared?"
Qin Yu kissed Xia Lan's cheek and asked with concern.
"What...what happened to me last night?"
Xia Lan felt that she was perfect in every way and didn't see anything wrong with herself.
"nothing."
Seeing that Xia Lan was alright, Qin Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as everything is alright.
When Xiao Yuqin saw Xia Lan come out, she anxiously went up to her. Xia Lan smiled at Xiao Yuqin.
"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry!"
Xia Lan smiled at Xiao Yuqin.
"You have no idea, you've done a really great job this time!"
"Qin Yu, go make breakfast for your precious wife!"
Xiao Yuqin pulled Xia Lan to sit down and turned to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu patted Xia Lan's head and went to make her breakfast.
Although she didn't know why Xiao Yuqin wanted to send Qin Yu away, Xia Lan still looked at Xiao Yuqin curiously.
Xiao Yuqin told Xia Lan about the whole thing.
"You were asleep last night and didn't know, but in the middle of the night, a lot of soldiers came to the city. Qin Yu told me when he came back that they were digging three feet into the ground!"
When Xia Lan heard that those people were actually the leaders of a human trafficking ring, she couldn't help but gape in astonishment.
When she was arrested last night, she pretended to be calm and tried to stall for time, hoping that Qin Yu would arrive.
She had been under constant tension, so after being rescued by Qin Yu, she couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep.
She didn't hear the car noise at all last night.
"Your dad is still busy there! It's said that they even dug up a body in the place they gave them up... These heartless people didn't even spare the children."
When Xiao Yuqin heard this, she couldn't believe that there could be such a vicious person.
Xia Lan was so engrossed in eating the melon that she didn't know how to react.
"This is a very serious matter, and their people are everywhere. To catch them all, we need to redeploy."
Qin Yu came out carrying a bowl of noodles and placed it in front of Xia Lan.
"Ah! Mianmian, I want some!"
Tuantuan smelled the aroma of the noodles, lifted her head from the pile of toys, and ran to Xia Lan's feet.
"Mommy, hug me."
Tuantuan excitedly reached out to Xia Lan.
Xia Lan picked up Tuan Tuan and fed her a small bite first.
"Alright, go have fun!"
Seeing that Tuantuan had successfully taken a bite, Qin Yu took Tuantuan off Xia Lan's arms.
"dad!"
Tuan Tuan looked at Qin Yu angrily.
Qin Yu said slowly.
"This is Mom's noodles."
Even if it's his daughter, he's not allowed to steal his wife's face.
Xia Lan glanced at Qin Yu with amusement.
"Lanlan, I..."
After Xia Lan finished eating her noodles, Qin Yu sat down next to her and gazed at her for a long time…
"Speak!"
Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu, waiting for his words.
"You want to participate in this mission?"
Xia Lan took the initiative to say what Qin Yu was thinking.
Qin Yu looked up in surprise. How could Xia Lan know what he was thinking?
"Actually, you've been in contact with Meng Jianguo all along, haven't you?"
Xia Lan looked at the teacup on the table, picked it up and took a sip.
Slightly bitter, with a sweet aftertaste.
"When Xiuxiu and the others came last time, you always came and went together..."
"And you two are always discussing something in the study."
Xia Lan smiled at Qin Yu, she had always been paying attention to the actions of her husband.
She had already sensed it in her heart, but she just hadn't said it out loud.
"You guessed it all along?"
Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan.
Xia Lan smiled, revealing her teeth.
"Our return wasn't a coincidence, was it?"
