After Xu Luoqing and Huo Jinning parted ways, she wandered around for a while before going to get her car. The night market was crowded, and all the parking spots were a bit far apart.
What Xu Luoqing didn't realize was that she was being watched as soon as she came out.
Xu Luoqing walked for a while and then realized she was being followed. She didn't know who they were or what they wanted.
However, he remained calm and did not turn back. He simply quickened his pace and walked towards a crowded area while taking out his phone to call the police.
But just as she was about to make a call, one of the men rushed up and snatched her phone away.
And with tears welling up in his eyes, he said sadly, "Wife, please, don't go."
There's a child at home; she's still young and needs her mother. She just got off work and kept asking me, "Why isn't Mommy back yet? Only you're willing to come home. Can I pretend I don't know what you're doing outside?"
The man's expression was sincere, and he already had an innocent-looking appearance.
People who had come from the night market stopped in their tracks.
Xu Luoqing looked at him and suddenly felt that he looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn't remember who he was.
She said coldly, "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not your wife. Please move aside and give me back my phone."
The man, however, refused to give up. He grabbed her hand and said, "Wife, stop making a fuss. Can't we go back to living a normal life? The child can't be without a mother. And everyone, look at this. This is our wedding photo, and some other photos we've taken."
The man took out his phone and opened his photo album, which was full of pictures of him and Xu Luoqing.
"...What's going on? Looks like they're a couple, they even have wedding photos."
...At first glance, this man seems like an honest and simple person.
...That's right, his wife is really ungrateful.
The accomplice said, "These two live in the same neighborhood as me. The woman is having an affair and wants to run away with someone else, but her husband is trying to persuade her to go back."
"That's right," said one of her associates. "It's only because her husband has a good temper that she's still not satisfied, even though it's for the sake of the children."
The accomplice said, "You should go back with your husband! Live a good life from now on."
"...This kind of person has no heart, let's just let her go."
"...Even if she goes back today, it won't be long. Let her go."
"The child is still young. What will happen to the child if she leaves?"
"Girl, listen to your aunt's advice, go home and live a good life. People outside are only novel for a short time."
His accomplice said, "That's right. Outsiders only want you because you're young. What will you do when you get old in a few years?"
The accomplice added, "Also, this man looks responsible; let's go back quickly."
"...Go back, girl! Live well from now on, and good days will come."
Everyone was talking at once, saying all sorts of things.
This was the first time Xu Luoqing had encountered such a situation. She was stunned for a while before saying, "I don't know her. Look at me, I'm Xu Luoqing. Don't any of you recognize me?"
"Now that she mentions it, it does seem a bit like it."
"...It does look somewhat similar."
"...It seems so, she just wasn't wearing makeup."
His accomplice said, "Why would a big star like him come to a place like this?"
Her accomplice said, "She used every trick in the book to get out of home."
Accomplice:: Which big star goes out alone?
The man said, "My wife was chosen by someone outside because she looks like Xu Luoqing. Honey, stop making a fuss, let's go home! The baby is waiting for you at home."
As he spoke, he put his arm around Xu Luoqing and tried to leave, but no one helped Xu Luoqing no matter how much she struggled or cried out.
They even voluntarily made way for them.
Just when Xu Luoqing thought she was about to be finished.
"I am a law enforcement officer, and this is my identification. You two come with me to the station."
When Wang Bin arrived, he overheard a bit of the conversation, but fearing it might be about human trafficking, he decided to take the person back to the station to investigate.
"Help! I don't know him! I'm Xu Luoqing!" Xu Luoqing struggled with all her might, as if she had found a lifeline.
When the man saw that the person who came was actually a law enforcement officer, his face turned pale. He immediately released Xu Luoqing and turned to run away.
But there's no way he can escape!
Wang Bin rushed forward and subdued the man, then kicked him hard, causing the man to scream and fall to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Bin quickly took out a silver bracelet and handcuffed the man's hands behind his back.
At this moment, Xu Luoqing seemed to have all her strength drained away, and she slumped to the ground, panting heavily.
"...They're really not a couple. Someone just said they live in the same neighborhood."
…“Accomplices”.
"Who was that just now?"
"We almost got someone into trouble."
The other two people, seeing that the situation was not good, tried to escape immediately, but were caught by other law enforcement officers.
"If you encounter a similar situation in the future, call the police immediately. Don't let human traffickers use you and unwittingly become accomplices," Wang Bin said.
Everyone felt a sense of unease and lingering fear; they had almost harmed a girl.
But some people were grumbling, "If she didn't look like that and dress like that, and instead went out wandering around like that, would this have happened?"
"Everyone, disperse! Go home!"
"Miss Xu, are you alright?" Wang Bin asked with concern.
"I...I'm fine. I was just too nervous just now, and my legs are still a little weak. I'll be fine after resting for a while. Thank you for saving me," Xu Luoqing said, still shaken.
"That's good." Wang Bin breathed a sigh of relief, then dragged the man into the car.
Xu Luoqing sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window with lingering fear.
She didn't know who the man was, but he was definitely not a good person.
If law enforcement officers hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The car arrived at the police station quickly.
"Thank you for saving me," Xu Luoqing said gratefully.
"You're welcome, it's my job," Wang Bin replied with a smile.
"Can I go now?" Xu Luoqing asked.
"Sure, but we need to leave your contact information and address so we can conduct a follow-up investigation," Wang Bin said.
Xu Luoqing wrote down her phone number and address, then suddenly remembered, "I think I've seen that person before, but I just can't remember."
"Here's my phone number. Call me anytime if you remember anything," Wang Bin said.
Xu Luoqing nodded and then left the police station.
When Xu Luoqing got home, she felt exhausted.
She took a hot shower, then lay in bed, her mind racing.
At the same time, she also wanted to thank Wang Bin, because without him, things might have turned out even worse today.
