"I had no idea where they were, so I was stuck here..."
"When I'm home, I'm responsible for taking care of my younger brother, cooking for the family, and cleaning..."
"He can only play with the toys his younger brother has broken and no longer wants to play with..."
After hesitating for a long time, Song Mei clutched the hem of her clothes and said in a low voice.
"What?"
Upon hearing these words, Wang Yueheng's mind went blank.
A girl who was bought?
Isn't that human trafficking?
"You mean, the mom and dad in this family aren't your biological parents?"
Wang Yueheng was afraid he had misunderstood, so he looked at the girl and asked her a question.
"Hmm... I also heard them say that my birth certificate was bought for a very high price..."
"That way, I won't have to worry about being caught by the police..."
The girl explained everything to Wang Yueheng in detail.
In the past, she would never have dared to say these things to outsiders.
Otherwise, if her family finds out, she'll likely suffer a beating.
Besides, saying it won't do any good; it will only be seen as a little girl throwing a tantrum.
"So, do you want to go find your biological parents and not stay here anymore?"
Wang Yueheng then asked another question.
"Hmm... It's okay if you don't look for one. I can go to an orphanage, as long as I can go to school and stop cooking and taking care of my younger brother..."
Song Mei lowered her head and spoke quietly.
It's clear that at only ten years old, she's had enough of being a servant at home.
Even without parents or relatives, they still want to escape from such a dysfunctional family relationship.
"I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to help you find your biological parents and leave this place."
"Keep this cash for yourself and don't give it to anyone."
Upon learning the truth, Wang Yueheng took out the few hundred yuan he had and stuffed it into the girl's pocket.
If what the girl said is true, then she was trafficked.
If he stood idly by and did nothing, Wang Yueheng would feel guilty.
However, whether what the girl said is true needs to be verified.
What if it was just something a little girl said in anger?
"Yue Heng, what's wrong? Everyone's going back, let's go too."
At this moment, Mo Zixue walked into the room and reminded her.
Seeing Song Mei standing in the living room, a hint of sympathy flashed in Mo Zixue's eyes.
But her thoughts were the same as Huang Bai's.
Simply providing financial assistance will not change the girl's situation at all.
Rather than letting the girl suffer because of the donation, it's better to just treat her as a stranger.
"Alright, we'll meet again when we have the chance. I'll figure something out. You should focus on your studies first."
Wang Yueheng stood up, waved to Song Mei with a serious expression, and said...
"Um!"
The girl nodded emphatically, wiped away her tears, and waved to him.
Just then.
The old lady's voice came from upstairs again: "Xiaomei, what are you doing? Have you cooked the food yet?"
"They're here!"
While calling out in response, Song Mei cast an expectant glance at Wang Yueheng before hurriedly running to the kitchen in the yard to boil water and cook.
"You mean that girl was trafficked?"
After getting back into the car.
Mo Zixue was astonished when she learned of the situation.
No wonder it felt like this little girl was going to work when she returned home; there was no warmth or comfort to be found there.
"In that case, we'll have to seek help from the local police department..."
Mo Zixue's first reaction was to call the police to help the girl find her family.
"But she has complete birth certificate documentation."
"Moreover, even if we call the police immediately, if her adoptive parents return, something unexpected could happen."
Wang Yueheng leaned back in his seat.
The image of Song Mei's helpless and aggrieved eyes at the stairwell kept flashing through my mind.
If her biological parents knew about this girl's current situation...
I wonder how I'll feel.
"The biggest problem right now is the lack of evidence; we can only rely on the girl's own description."
"The most terrifying thing is that this family was actually able to buy a real birth certificate and create a household registration out of thin air!"
"If that's the case, it's very likely that a complete child trafficking industry chain will be uncovered!"
"This matter involves too many complexities, and we lack the capacity to conduct an on-site investigation... By the way..."
Then Wang Yueheng suddenly thought of something.
Isn't Teacher Sa Ning the host of the CCTV talk show? He should be the most experienced in this kind of thing!
then.
Wang Yueheng directly sent Song Mei's situation to Sa Ning, whom he had just added as a friend, via WeChat.
Upon receiving Wang Yueheng's message, Sa Ning's first reaction was also one of extreme shock.
With his keen professional instincts, he realized the seriousness of the matter from Wang Yueheng's description.
Public medical institutions may be involved in the illegal sale of birth certificates and assist human traffickers in trafficking children!
If this were true...
It could very well become the next nationally sensational hot topic!
