Gu An'an slapped him twice more. "He's a soldier, but I'm not."
The two men standing nearby saw that Gu An'an was not as easy to bully as she looked, and without thinking they were about to step forward to protect the woman who had been beaten, but they were stunned by a single sentence from Xiao Yuheng.
"Try touching her."
The two men exchanged a glance and stopped what they were doing. The short, thin man stepped forward. "Sir, my mother misspoke just now. We don't want any trouble. We just want to take my sister-in-law home. Could you please let us through?"
It is clear that the short, thin man among the three is likely the strategist.
"sister in law?"
Gu An'an sneered, the sarcasm in her tone was obvious to everyone. The three of them were very angry, but because Xiao Yuheng was there, they held back their anger. People in their line of work absolutely could not be targeted by soldiers, otherwise there would be endless trouble.
"Of course she's my sister-in-law, otherwise who else could she be your sister-in-law?"
"No, I'm not, I don't know them."
The girl's body was trembling violently. Although Xiao Yuheng felt safer, she could also see the relationship between Gu An'an and Xiao Yuheng. Not wanting to cause any misunderstandings, she hid behind Gu An'an.
"I... I really don't know them. They are human traffickers."
The appearance of the human traffickers caused even greater commotion in the train carriage.
"What? Human traffickers?"
"Jun Jun, Jun Jun, where are you? Come to Mommy quickly."
"Fatty! Where did you run off to, you brat?"
......
Now, people are searching for their children and wives, all afraid of being targeted by human traffickers, making the situation incredibly lively.
"You filthy hussy, what nonsense are you spouting! I'll skin you alive!"
"Sister-in-law, even if you look down on our family because we are poor, you can't slander us like this. You're trying to ruin our family!"
"You bitch! How dare you!"
The three people had three different faces and three different expressions. They even reacted very quickly, so quickly that ordinary people could not see any flaws, but they still could not escape the eyes of Xiao Yuheng and his companion.
"What are you doing? Trying to kidnap me?"
"Police officer, someone is trying to rob someone in broad daylight!"
Following Gu An'an's gaze, two railway police officers were squeezing through the crowd towards them.
"What are you doing? Why are you all blocking the way here?"
I didn't hear clearly because I was far away, and the train police officer thought it was one of those people making a fuss over seats again, so his tone was somewhat impatient.
"Officer, these men claimed to be the girl's in-laws and tried to attack her in the car. The girl accused them of being human traffickers. My husband is a soldier, so he had no choice but to stop them to find out what was going on. But this old woman accused my husband of having an affair with the girl. Isn't that an insult to a soldier?"
Xiao Yuheng showed his identification to the two police officers, who immediately gave him a solemn military salute, saying, "Good morning, Commander Xiao."
Upon hearing that Xiao Yuheng was a young man and a regimental commander, everyone's expressions changed, especially those three, whose eyes revealed their guilty conscience.
For a split second, all three of them wanted to retreat, but just then the car started moving, and they no longer had a chance to leave.
The short, thin man gave the woman a look, and she immediately put on a different face. "Oh, Commander, I didn't mean it just now. I was just angry at this little bitch. You don't know how many people this little bitch has seduced before. Many men stood up for her, otherwise she wouldn't have had the chance to steal money and run away."
Feeling the contemptuous looks from the crowd, the girl shook her head vigorously, "No, I didn't, they're talking nonsense."
Gu An'an grabbed the little girl's hand, "Don't cry!"
"Since you say she's your wife, what's her name?"
The tall man was stumped by her question. They had just tricked this girl back, and she wouldn't say anything no matter what he asked. Fortunately, he had heard her mention something about Xiaoyuan being scared when she was crying, so it was probably true.
"Yuanyuan, everyone at home calls her Yuanyuan."
Upon hearing the name "Yuanyuan," the girl shrank even further. Gu An'an knew at a glance that Yuanyuan was indeed her name.
"What's her last name? How old is she? Where is she from?"
The tall man was stumped again.
Seeing this, the woman quickly came out and said, "Her family suffered a disaster and came to our place for refuge. Later, her relatives told her that she was given to my son. How could we know so clearly?"
"Yes, our family isn't well-off. We were so excited to be able to find a wife for my brother that we didn't even remember to ask so many questions. You can't accuse us of being human traffickers just because of that, can you?"
It makes some sense at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it's utterly ridiculous.
However, Gu An'an was too lazy to listen to their nonsense. She turned to the girl behind her and said, "Now it's your turn to tell us how you met them, what your name is, where you live, and whether you can contact anyone."
The three wanted to stop Gu An'an when they heard her words, but they dared not say anything because Xiao Yuheng and the two train police officers were there. They could only listen to the girl tell everything.
"Oh dear! I can't live anymore. The daughter-in-law I finally managed to marry is going to run away. How can this old woman have the face to see her husband?"
“Sister-in-law, you… sigh~ never mind! If you don’t want us family members, then so be it. We’ll get off at the next stop. Let’s just consider it as you and our family being destined to be apart.”
The tall man wanted to say something, but he was stopped by him.
He didn't want to give up such a good catch, but he was afraid that if he continued talking, all three of them would get involved, so he had no choice but to give up.
But Gu An'an wasn't about to let them off the hook. "You're already here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
He gave Xiao Yuheng a look, and the couple acted in perfect unison. One of them dealt with the old woman, and the other with the tall man. As for the skinny guy, he was held down by two train police officers.
Gu An'an took out a bag of powder from the old woman's pocket, and the other two took out a knife and a rope from their bodies. Now it was clear who was real and who was fake.
"Tsk tsk, trafficking women, insulting soldiers, and who knows if he has any lives on his hands. I wonder if he'll even have a chance to come out alive."
The old woman refused to accept her fate, saying, "You're talking nonsense! You're the one who put this in my pocket, you bitch, you're framing me."
No matter how much they shouted, the person was still taken away.
"Commander Xiao, we will definitely investigate this thoroughly."
Xiao Yuheng nodded, then turned to look at the little girl clinging to his wife. His head started to ache again; it seemed like no matter where he went, someone was trying to steal his wife.
"Sister, my name is Zhou Yuan. Thank you for saving me today, otherwise I would have..."
Faced with this girl who seemed to be made of water, Gu An'an was also a little troubled. "Stop crying. Call home as soon as you get off the bus. Stay with the police officers and don't wander off, understand?"
Gu An'an said something, and Zhou Yuan nodded. "Sister, will we have a chance to meet again? Can you leave me your address? I'll write to you when I get home."
Zhou Yuan felt an unprecedented sense of security from Gu An'an, especially when the other party made a move. Zhou Yuan was stunned by Gu An'an's coolness. If she had that ability, would she not be bullied?
