"You don't need to be too nervous. She was just suddenly too tense. She relaxed after seeing you, which is why she suddenly lost her strength." Seeing Qin Yu's serious face, the doctor looked at Qin Yu and explained.
After saying that, he went back to sleep.
The doctor had just lain down when suddenly a gong was banged in the village, its sound particularly loud in the quiet, dark night.
The doctor sat up dejectedly, and Qin Yu glanced at him. "Keep an eye on her for a bit, I'm going out for a bit."
"Go ahead!" The doctor nodded and waved his hand.
It seems tonight is unlikely to be peaceful.
Qin Yu followed the sound of the gong to the village square. The second and third brothers each held a disfigured person in their hands, and many villagers ran over after hearing the sound of the gong.
"Tiezhu, what's going on?"
"Oh yeah? How come you're all holding this person?"
"Is it a thief? Came to steal grain?"
"Could he be someone's lover?"
"..."
The people gathered below were all talking amongst themselves. Looking at the two men who were barely alive in the hands of the second and third brothers, they thought that at most they were just petty thieves who had been caught doing something sneaky.
"These two are human traffickers!" Qin Yu walked over with a cold face. "I went out to drink with Lao Er and the others, but I didn't expect them to break down my door and try to kidnap my wife!"
"What? Human traffickers?" The villagers were shocked.
Everyone looked around to see if their children and wives were nearby, and once they saw them, they quickly pulled them to their sides to protect them.
"How could there be human traffickers?" someone asked.
"These are the drugs they ordered at my house. This dosage is enough to kill two big men." Qin Yu held up the drugs the two men had ordered, which he found at his doorstep.
"If my wife hadn't been smart and blocked the door with a blanket after discovering it, she might have been sold to another place, and we wouldn't even know who did it."
"Oh my god! Really? Is Xia alright?"
"How can people be so brazen these days, barging into someone's home to snatch them away?"
"No way? Where is Xia now? Is she alright?"
"They're human traffickers! Kill them!"
“We can’t take the law into our own hands now; we have to notify the police.”
"..."
The villagers were as noisy as a market, with everyone expressing their opinions.
"First, lock them in our village's ancestral hall and interrogate them about how they got into our village, and whether they have any other accomplices!" The commotion also alarmed the Third Uncle and the Seventh Uncle.
Upon learning that human traffickers had come to the village, his face immediately darkened.
In the past, no matter how many children a family had, there were no human traffickers. But later, the number of human traffickers increased.
In the past, there have been cases of children being abducted in Shanghe Village. My third uncle's sister-in-law hanged herself because she couldn't bear the thought of her child being abducted.
Xu Fulin asked Qin Yu and the others, "Are there any other accomplices?"
"According to my sister-in-law, there were accomplices waiting for them at the west village entrance. When Lao Wu and I chased after them, the man ran away as soon as he saw us. Lao Wu and Lao Liu went after him," Lao Er replied to Xu Fulin.
"Then let's take these two people to the ancestral hall first." Xu Fulin nodded and told them to take the people to the ancestral hall.
"Village chief, this matter cannot be settled privately; we must report it to the police." Qin Yu shook his head. If they went to the ancestral hall and couldn't get any information out of them, and their accomplices released them, where would he find people to arrest?
"Report to the police?" Xu Fulin frowned. If the police were called, this matter would escalate.
“That’s right.” Qin Yu insisted on reporting it to the police.
"This is for everyone's sake. What if they have accomplices who rescue them? Then we'll have offended these human traffickers. If they come back for revenge, and the village's children and unmarried girls get kidnapped, it will be too late to regret it..."
Qin Yu looked down at the melancholy villagers. Most of them were naturally afraid of officials, especially the police. They always felt that the police were like the county magistrates of the past, and they dared not offend them.
After hearing Qin Yu's words, the melancholy in the eyes of those with daughters and children disappeared.
"Yes, we have to report it. Otherwise, if our child is abducted, it will be difficult for us to find him again!"
"We must report it! We absolutely must report it, for my two daughters."
"They've already come all the way to the village, we can't just ignore them!"
"Call the police! Village chief, call the police!"
"Otherwise, no one will feel at ease..."
More and more people are supporting reporting to the police, and Xu Fulin nodded.
“Okay! Shuanzi, you have a bicycle at home, go to town and run it.”
"Okay, I'm going right now!"
One villager immediately pushed through the crowd and ran home, and soon rode his bicycle towards the town.
Qin Yu pulled Xu Fulin aside, his eyes filled with coldness.
“This is targeting me. They waited until I went out before they attacked Xia Lan. Even after Xia Lan locked the door, they still wouldn’t let her go.”
Are you serious?
Xu Fulin frowned and looked at Qin Yu. "Then this matter is extremely serious! Do you have any suspects?"
"Look around and see who hasn't come!" Qin Yu said to Xu Fulin. "I'm going to keep Xia Lan company."
"How is Xia Xia?" Xu Fulin asked worriedly.
"He was scared unconscious." Qin Yu's eyes were filled with malice. If he knew who did it, he would never let them get away with it.
"Okay, I understand, go ahead!" Xu Fulin gestured for Qin Yu to hurry up and check on Xia Lan, saying that he could handle things here.
Qin Yu glanced at the second brother and the others, who exchanged a silent exchange and nodded to Qin Yu.
In the crowd, Fang Yiyi heard that Xia Lan had almost been kidnapped by human traffickers. On the surface, she pretended to be worried, but in her heart she was sneer.
Those two human traffickers were truly useless.
Although she didn't know who it was, Fang Yiyi had a gut feeling that it was someone from the village, and that it had a 'deep-seated hatred' for Xia Lan.
Otherwise, why would she have gone to Qin Yu's house specifically to kidnap Xia Lan?
The second brother and the others looked around, and when they saw someone, they secretly turned around and left. The second brother glanced at the third brother, who immediately followed them secretly.
When Qin Yu returned to the clinic, the doctor was dozing off by the bedside. Qin Yu's entrance startled him awake.
"You're back. I'm going to sleep now." Seeing that it was Qin Yu, he waved and went back to his bed to continue sleeping.
Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan's face. Xia Lan was pale from fright, her usual rosy complexion gone, and her face was no longer peaceful. She was curled up uneasily, looking so fragile that it broke one's heart.
"I'm here! You're alright, I'm right here beside you, you've been saved!" Qin Yu quickly grasped Xia Lan's anxious hand, holding it tightly, and slowly lowered his head to kiss her hand, trying to give her strength.
He wanted to tell her that he was safe and that he was right beside her.
