In the crowd, a middle - aged woman wrapped her face with a flowery headscarf. She was holding a ragged - looking child who at first glance seemed to be a little boy.
She walked through the crowd with a hunched back and her head slightly lowered.
Seeing the policemen in front checking every child, both boys and girls, she nervously signaled to a barber carrying a barber's pole on his shoulder.
They made a detour and hid the sleeping Su Yumei inside the barber's pole.
The middle - aged woman's face turned fierce.
"It's just a little girl. Who would have thought they'd check so strictly? Later, stay away from me. Don't let them catch us."
The barber nodded.
Then he carried the pole towards the crowded area.
People in front complained, "What are you doing?"
"Stop pushing! Can't you see there are so many people in front?"
Due to the large crowd, the barber was blocked at the entrance.
A man in front glared at him. "What the hell is so heavy? You're pushing forward desperately."
The barber took a cautious step back. "Sorry."
Seeing his good attitude, the man didn't say much.
Fortunately, the policemen didn't notice this side. He slowly inched forward and was just one step away from the entrance.
Li Chuchu recognized that familiar face. Even with the headscarf on, it was still noticeable. Her eyes widened instantly. "There! There!"
Several people immediately rushed forward and grabbed the middle - aged woman.
Li Chuchu noticed that the woman wasn't holding a child. She frowned tightly and looked around.
The barber panicked when he saw his accomplice being caught.
The barber's pole was so heavy that he couldn't hold it steady and stumbled a few steps.
A man in front whose calf was hit by the pole was in so much pain that he turned around angrily and shouted, "What on earth are you doing? Can't you walk properly?"
Unexpectedly, the barber's eyes suddenly turned fierce and bloodthirsty, just like a murderer's.
The man broke out in a cold sweat and turned around. He felt a chill down his back.
This guy is crazy!
Shen Yanshan had been closely watching this extremely abnormal barber from not far away.
Suddenly, he rushed into the crowd. His tall figure made people instinctively make way for him. Shen Yanshan stepped over the crowd and accurately blocked the barber. The policemen noticed the commotion and immediately came over to subdue the barber.
"Freeze!"
"Open this and check!"
Shen Yanshan used a stick to open the pole, and there was a child inside.
The on - lookers who saw this scene all widened their eyes. Especially the man who had been glared at by the barber. He finally realized what was going on.
"Damn it! I said this guy's pole was so heavy. It turns out he's a child - trafficker!"
"There's a child in here! There's a child in here!"
The policeman shouted hoarsely to his colleagues behind.
Hearing this, Su Wan's heart skipped a beat. Almost as if it was a father - daughter telepathy, he didn't say a word. He pushed through the crowd and ran towards the policemen.
He saw the policeman holding a dirty - looking child with messy short hair and a face smeared with two layers of ash. The child was sleeping soundly. If it weren't for Su Wan being her biological father, no one would have recognized this as the delicate and beautiful little girl.
The methods of child - traffickers are really getting more and more sophisticated. It's almost impossible to guard against.
"Is this your daughter?"
"Yes."
Su Wan quickly took his daughter into his arms, checking if her arms and legs were okay. He murmured softly, "Sorry, sorry. Dad is late..."
Seeing that things were going wrong, the barber's veins on his forehead bulged. While the father and daughter were reuniting, he took out a knife from the rolled - up curtain on the barber's pole. With hatred in his eyes, he heavily slashed at the first person who had caught him.
"Ah! Murderer! Murderer!"
"Someone's killing people here!"
Shen Yanshan was caught off guard by the slash. He quickly dodged the vital parts, but a bloody cut was inevitably left on his left arm.
His face darkened. Taking advantage of the barber's movement, he dislocated the man's arm.
The man roared wildly and seemed to want to fight back. The policemen immediately reacted, twisted his arms behind his back and pressed him firmly to the ground. He struggled desperately, but his face was always tightly pressed against the ground and he couldn't move an inch.
Many people spat at him.
"Spit! You child - trafficker! Doing such immoral things. You'll go to the 18th level of hell in your next life!"
The police officer came over with a solemn face. "The hostage has been found. Prepare to send her to the hospital for a check - up. Take these two to the police station."
The police officer looked at Shen Yanshan. "Comrade, your injury is not light. Go to the hospital for a check - up too."
Shen Yanshan: "No need."
This kind of injury was nothing to him.
Unexpectedly, Li Chuchu, who had rushed over through the crowd in a hurry, changed her expression drastically when she saw the injury on his arm. "No need my foot! Other people's lives matter, but yours doesn't? What are you showing off for? Come on, excuse me! There's an injured person here. We need to go to the hospital right away!"
Her lips turned a little pale from the shock of the injury on his arm. Her tone was very urgent.
Shen Yanshan was scolded speechless by her. "I'm not..."
Only the police officer seemed to understand everything and gave Shen Yanshan a look as if to say "good luck". He patted Shen Yanshan on the shoulder and comforted him. "It's okay. Women are like this. They'll make a fuss even over a minor injury. My wife is the same."
He sounded as if he enjoyed it.
Li Chuchu pushed through the crowd and forcefully led Shen Yanshan out. Shen Yanshan still obediently followed behind Li Chuchu, like a big dog being led by her. But in his heart, there was a strange sense of satisfaction.
Just like this.
For the first time in his life, Shen Yanshan played the role of a good Samaritan. He was sent to the hospital together with the victim and was scolded by his "wife" pointing at his nose.
This could also be considered a glorious deed that he could write into his life resume.
After the matter was settled,
The policemen left the scene in an orderly manner. The on - site crowd was overjoyed to know that the child - traffickers had been arrested in one afternoon. They highly praised the Ningcheng Police Bureau for their efficient work!
...
Su Yumei was sent to the hospital for a check - up. The check - up report showed that she was okay. The child - traffickers had given her a little sedative, and she would wake up in a while.
Su Wan was extremely relieved when he got this result.
At this time, Shen Yanshan was still being bandaged in the hospital. Su Wan came over specially to thank Li Chuchu and Shen Yanshan. "Thanks to the kind help of you two comrades. How's Comrade Shen's injury?"
"It's okay. The doctor said the injury didn't damage the bones. He'll recover after two days of rest."
Su Wan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good. Thanks to you for saving my daughter. I'll cover your medical expenses."
Li Chuchu declined politely. "It's just a small thing. Mr. Su, you don't need to be so polite."
