Chapter 44: Human Trafficker
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Stop!” Yu Su’s originally anxious footsteps became cautious. “There’s someone there.”
Xiao Ilan looked in the direction of Yu Su’s finger and indeed saw a piece of khaki cloth behind a big tree not far ahead.
After some observation, the yellow cloth would change from time to time. From this, it could be seen that the person behind the tree was a human. It was very likely the human trafficker who had taken Zhuangzhuang away.
[No way? Did they really find him?]
[I didn’t expect Yu Su to really know divination! ]
[Tsk, there’s only one way into the mountain. As long as they follow the path, they’ll eventually find it. If you ask me, they’re just lucky! ]
“Although 1 don’t know if the people there are human traffickers, we still have to make a plan for safety.” Yu Su looked at Xiao Han and the photographer.
…..
“If the person behind the tree is really a human trafficker, I’m afraid that the three of us will make him desperate and use Zhuangzhuang as a hostage and harm him.” Xiao Ilan was a little worried.
“You’re right.” Yu Su pondered for a moment. “I’ll be the bait to test if that person is a human trafficker.”
Yu Su’s plan was to pretend to be a villager who had gone into the mountains alone to look for Zhuangzhuang. She would appear as a weak woman.
Human traffickers were called human traffickers because they not only abducted children, but also women and even men when they had the chance.
If the person behind the tree was really a human trafficker, then it was dark and raining heavily at night, and Yu Su happened to be a lone woman. If nothing went wrong, the human trafficker would definitely target Yu Su.
“That’s too risky. If the other party has a weapon, you’ll be in danger.” Xiao Han disagreed. “We still need to think of a safer way.”
“There’s no time. Whether it’s dangerous or not, we have to give it a try.” Yu Su’s tone expressed her complete trust. “As long as you can subdue the human trafficker in time, 1’11 be fine. Moreover, the person behind the tree might not be a human trafficker.”
Due to the limited conditions, netizens could see the scene recorded by the camera. However, the conversation of the characters in the scene was mixed in with the sound of the rain and could not be heard clearly.
The netizens only saw Yu Su and Xiao Han chat for a while before separating. Not long after, Yu Su appeared further away from her original position and started calling Zhuangzhuang’s name anxiously.
The shouts that the netizens heard were sometimes loud and sometimes soft. They were not clear, but the people present could hear them clearly.
When Zhuangzhuang heard the familiar voice, he suddenly raised his head. He struggled to break free from the restraints on his hands and feet. A whimper came from his taped mouth.
“Behave yourself. If you dare to move again, I’ll break your limbs!” The human trafficker pinched the child’s fair face and threatened him.
Zhuangzhuang’s face was covered in tears and snot. He looked very disheveled.
Seeing him like this, the human trafficker smiled in satisfaction.
With such a good appearance, he would definitely be able to sell it for a good price!
The human trafficker took out a handkerchief and covered Zhuangzhuang’s mouth and nose. In a few seconds, Zhuangzhuang became groggy.
The human trafficker asked him to stay where he was obediently and not make a sound. He actually did as he was told.
Then, the human trafficker left his hiding place. He was wearing a khaki jacket and dark red pants.
Yu Su looked at the short man who had suddenly appeared in front of her with cloudy eyes and felt goosebumps all over her body.
The color of the man’s jacket was exactly the same as what she had seen just now.
Yu Su secretly glanced in the direction of the tree from the corner of her eye. The khaki cloth behind the tree had already disappeared.
For Zhuangzhuang’s sake, she suppressed the fear in her heart and said slowly, “Have you seen a little boy?”
The man’s turbid eyes immediately lit up. He nodded and pointed at the forest behind Yu Su.
[Oh my god, what’s wrong with such a man? Why doesn’t he look like a good person? Could this be someone specially arranged by the production team for the show’s effect?] [It’s too scary!]
[Everyone, don’t forget the official tweet from the production team just now. Now that the recording has been changed to a live broadcast, everyone is helping the villagers find the child’s whereabouts. It’s impossible for them to have time to arrange this show! ]
[I saw the tweet too. In that case, this person is not from the production team!]
[Could he be an employee of a logging company?]
