Chapter 32 Hidden dangers of saving people
"Captain, it's just a small favor. This is what I should do. I really can't accept these things."
Duan Hongzhe had a stiff face and pushed away the things Shen Yuanxing handed over with his hands.
When he stopped Shen Anan yesterday, Shen Anan's attitude was not very enthusiastic, but today, after he heard about what happened last night, he thought that his information saved Shen Yuanjia after all, and Shen Anan had to owe him a favor, so he was planning to find a chance to meet again today.
As long as he gets in touch with a kind and talented man like him more, he doesn't believe that Shen Anan will not be tempted!
Unexpectedly, Shen Yuanxing came to him early this morning with some things, saying that he was thanking him, but his words were actually warning him to stay away from his sister.
"Take it. If you have any problems in the future, come to the brigade headquarters to find me. Stay away from An An." Shen Yuanxing forcefully stuffed the thing into Duan Hongzhe's hand and turned away.
He saw through Duan Hongzhe's little plan clearly and was too lazy to waste time talking to him, so he just gave him a few words of advice. If Duan Hongzhe continues to set his sights on his sister, his position as captain will not be in vain.
Duan Hongzhe clenched his fists tightly. Shen Yuanxing's words today were like a whip lashing his self-esteem.
He took a few deep breaths on the spot before adjusting his expression. Just as he was about to go back to the educated youth to put his things down, he saw Wang Paner coming out from behind a tree on the side of the road with a basket on her shoulder.
"Brother Duan, why did the captain look for you? Why did he ask you to stay away from Shen Anan?" Wang Pan'er asked excitedly. She was planning to go to the town, but she didn't expect to hear the conversation between Shen Yuanxing and Duan Hongzhe when she passed by here.
Wang Paner's questioning made Duan Hongzhe's expression, which had just been adjusted, somewhat uncontrollable, and the feeling of humiliation that had just been suppressed rushed to his mind again.
"What does it have to do with you? You actually eavesdropped on our conversation!"
"Brother Duan, you hurt me for Chen An'an? Do you like her?" Wang Pan'er couldn't help but raise her voice, her expression excited.
Duan Hongzhe forced himself to calm down. The letters he wrote to his family still had no reply. He had to comfort Wang Pan'er. If Wang Pan'er stopped sending food, his situation in Wanyang Village would become even more difficult.
"Pan'er, how could I bear to be so mean to you!" Duan Hongzhe took two steps forward, took Wang Pan'er's hand, and led her to the grove behind the house.
The entrance to the educated youth center was not a good place to talk, and he couldn't let others see him and Wang Paner arguing.
"Pan'er, it's really because the Shen family is too bullying. I was so angry, so I spoke to you a little loudly. Brother Duan wants to apologize to you." Duan Hongzhe's face was full of guilt. He held Wang Pan'er's hand and spoke in a gentle tone.
"What's going on? Did they bully you?!" Wang Pan'er was indeed coaxed into diverting her attention.
“Hey, yesterday I accidentally heard that Wu Lanxiang and her daughter were planning to plot against Shen Yuanjia, so I wanted to tell the Shen family the news, and I happened to meet Shen Anan on the road, so I told her directly.”
"I just didn't want to see innocent people get hurt, and I didn't want anything in return. I didn't expect the captain to come to my house today and sneer at me. His words were telling me to stay away from Shen Anan. It's really... too much." Duan Hongzhe's face was filled with shame and anger.
"I said that Shen Anan is very noble, and the Shen family are not good people. It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin!" Wang Pan'er was indignant, but she was relieved in her heart. The worse Duan Hongzhe's impression of Shen Anan, the more relieved she was.
"Brother Duan, you are just too kind!"
The more Wang Pan'er looked at Duan Hongzhe, the more she liked him. No wonder Duan Hongzhe had been so good to Shen Anan all his life in his previous life. He was indeed a good person with good abilities.
"I already have someone in my heart who I want to be with for the rest of my life, how could I possibly like Shen Anan!" Duan Hongzhe grabbed Wang Paner's hand and looked at her affectionately.
"Brother Duan, I too..." Wang Pan'er felt her face was about to burn, and her palms were sweating from nervousness.
"Oh no, it's my turn to go to the brigade headquarters to get farm tools today. How could I have forgotten?"
"Pan'er, I have to go to the brigade headquarters quickly. I can't delay everyone's work." Duan Hongzhe suddenly slapped his head and interrupted Wang Pan'er.
"Brother Duan, you should go quickly!" Wang Paner said quickly, taking out two eggs from the basket.
"Here are two eggs. Take them and eat them before you go back to work!"
"Thank you Pan Er, I'll go first then."
Duan Hongzhe trotted away, and after turning a corner and making sure that Wang Paner could no longer see him, he stopped and walked slowly towards the educated youth point.
Duan Hongzhe showed a somewhat sarcastic smile. Although he wanted to use Wang Pan'er, he had never thought of developing any substantial relationship with her. His goal had always been to return to the city, not to have a relationship with a village girl.
…
…
Shen family.
Shen Anan was picking mushrooms with Liping and Lihua. This morning, Xia Chunmei took Shen Anan to a small valley she had discovered earlier. After the light rain last night, the valley had become a paradise for mushrooms.
Although there were no precious mushrooms, most of them were fir mushrooms, but the large quantity allowed Shen Anan to satisfy her mushroom picking addiction. She and Xia Chunmei each picked a large basket.
"After we finish cleaning up, I'll make you some fried mushrooms!"
"Auntie, are the fried mushrooms delicious?"
Shen Anan nodded exaggeratedly and painted a pie for her nieces: "Super delicious!"
Shen Liping and Shen Lihua couldn't help but speed up their movements, imagining the taste of fried mushrooms in their minds.
"Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!"
Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door. Shen Anan opened the door with some confusion, and saw Shen Yuanjia and Officer Xiao Tang standing at the door. Both of them were sweating and panting.
"Sixth brother, why are you back at this time?" Shen Anan was surprised. It was not even noon yet. Calculating the time, Shen Yuanjia had just gone to the police station not long ago, and he rushed back again?
Shen Yuanjia's face looked very ugly. "An An, after a few days of interrogation, some of the human traffickers we arrested finally confessed last night."
"This group of people is a large-scale trafficking gang that operates across provinces. There are accomplices on the run in other places. When we led people to the ruined temple, there was an observation post of theirs on the mountain. They probably saw that the situation was not right and ran away."
"The escaped human trafficker has seen both of us. You'd better not go to town recently, and don't go out alone."
Shen Anan was also shocked after hearing this. Human traffickers have no moral concepts. Those caught in the act will definitely not escape the death penalty, which may lead to crazy revenge from their accomplices outside.
"I understand, Sixth Brother, you must be careful too." Shen Anan said with some concern.
"Don't worry, Sixth Brother will be careful. By the way, tell my parents that I will be staying in the police station dormitory for the next few days and will not be coming back."
"By the way, I left my bike at home. If anything happens, come to the town police station to find me."
After giving the instructions, Shen Yuanjia left his bicycle behind, climbed onto Xiao Tang's back seat, and hurried back to town.
Shen Anan really didn't expect that the rescue would have subsequent hidden dangers. But even though there is danger now, she does not regret saving people. After all, they were the lives of more than twenty children.
However, she also planned not to go to the town for the time being. Anyway, there was no shortage of various supplies in the space. It was just that the things she promised to Sister Zhou could not be delivered in the near future. She could only explain to Sister Zhou later.
