“No matter what, just find it.” Qin Chu clenched his fists and felt it was impossible to relax.
When he went to the washroom, the young police officers began to gossip.
“You say… Who’s this guy?”
“I heard he’s super rich… According to a reliable source, he’s the best friend of Chief Gao in C City.”
“Well, no matter how rich he is, he still lost his wife. What use is money?”
“Forget it. Hurry up and help him find the van. After all, she went missing in our city.”
Huo Mian opened her eyes carefully as the van continued on the road.
She was placed on the backseat of the van. In the front seats sat a man, a woman, and a child.
The child was the girl who gave her the lollipop.
In fact, Huo Mian hadn’t touched the lollipop since she had been on guard all the time.
Seeing the girl kept urging her to eat the candy, she knew there was something wrong with the candy.
It reminded her of a news report she had read long ago.
It mentioned that some human traffickers used children as bait since people always lowered their guard with children.
Having been a doctor for years, the faint smell of aesthetics on the lollipop was obvious to her.
Then why did she pretend unconscious and allow them to carry her away?
She had two reasons.
Firstly, she knew the child wasn’t alone. There must be adults or even a gang behind the child watching her. If Huo Mian refused to eat the candy, they might deal with her in more sinister ways. If they pushed her, her baby might get hurt. So she dared not to confront them.
Secondly, she knew the gang targeted her to sell her and the baby. If she went with them, she might find more victims and help them get out. Then she would give the clues to the police to wipe out the gang.
She knew if she remained passive, they wouldn’t hurt her.
The three people sitting in the front seats didn’t realize that their victim had woken up.
The little girl sat between the man and the woman and was munching on potato chips with gusto.
“Honey, now we’ll make some big money this time. We haven’t got a pregnant woman for a long time.”
“Yeah. We usually fetch 50,000 yuan for one woman. With the baby in her, we’ll get more money this time.”
“I wonder if the baby is a boy or a girl. If it’s a boy, we’ll ask for 150,000 yuan. I’m sure we can find a buyer.”
“Maybe you can take her to a clinic and check the gender of the baby. You’re familiar with Dr. Liu in our county hospital, right?”
“Forget it. There are many people in the hospital and I’m afraid we’ll draw attention to us. The bumpkins are ignorant. We’ll just tell them the baby is a boy and ask for 150,000 yuan for both the mother and baby. What do you think?”
“Good idea.”
“After this deal, we must stay low for a while,” the woman said.
“Why? There are many more months until the Spring Festival. Don’t you want to make more money?” The man objected.
“I have a feeling that the pregnant woman es from a rich family. I’m afraid her family will track us down after the deal is finished.”
“How do you know she’s from a rich family?”
The man glanced at the backseat while he drove. Huo Mian closed her eyes immediately and pretended to be unconscious.
