Hearing Captain Li's words, Liu San no longer made a sound. He merely cowered in the corner, trembling with terror.
This was Friday.
After drifting around the police station, Ming Li left and followed her previous memory to 123 Elementary School.
At this moment, most of the children in the school had been picked up by their parents, and many teachers had also left. The entire school was empty. The place that was usually bustling with activity was now incredibly quiet.
Ming Li's gaze swept over a few wandering spirits drifting aimlessly around. She raised an eyebrow, then suddenly sensed something. She turned around and saw a small figure walking from the direction of the boys' dormitory building.
Mo Lin Yu glanced at the empty campus and quickly withdrew his gaze. His small face remained expressionless.
Ming Li raised her eyebrows and followed the little boy, trailing him all the way.
"Rumble—"
Suddenly, a clap of thunder echoed through the gloomy sky, making it feel even more oppressive.
Soon, a fine drizzle began to fall. Before long, the rain intensified, gradually turning into a downpour.
Mo Lin Yu, walking on the road, paused. Snapping back to attention, he didn't run to seek shelter, but continued to walk at an unhurried pace.
Ming Li, following behind him, frowned. She raised her hand and made a light gesture. In the next second, the raindrops that were about to fall on the little boy automatically avoided him and continued to fall to the ground.
At this time, there were very few pedestrians on the road, so no one noticed this strange sight. Even Mo Lin Yu himself had not yet realized it.
Looking at the pouring rain before him, Mo Lin Yu felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
As Mo Lin Yu frowned in thought, he failed to notice that an old van was slowly approaching him from behind.
He didn't notice, but someone did. Or rather, a ghost did.
Ming Li glanced back at the van behind her, her eyes turning cold. She raised her hand, about to do something, when she felt a change in her soul.
Ming Li, "..." The nth day of wanting to beat up the system...
The sound of the rain masked the approach of the old van. The men inside wore wicked smiles...
Danger drew closer, but Mo Lin Yu still had no inkling.
Just then, he suddenly heard the sound of brakes nearby, followed by the sound of a car door opening.
Mo Lin Yu instinctively turned his head. He saw two men inside the car wearing black masks.
In the next second, Mo Lin Yu was dragged into the car by the two men. The car door closed, and the vehicle sped away!
Finally realizing the danger, Mo Lin Yu began to struggle frantically. But he was, after all, just a child. No matter how much he struggled, it was futile.
During his struggle, he was slapped by one of the men, "Damn it! Behave yourself! Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death!"
Looking at the devil-like man before him, Mo Lin Yu's face was filled with terror. He quickly understood who these people were.
These people were human traffickers!
On the other side, Ming Li watched the van disappear from her sight in an instant. She narrowed her eyes dangerously, her figure flashing as she vanished from her spot.
...
On a somewhat secluded road, an old van was speeding along.
Suddenly, the sound of somewhat harsh brakes echoed on the road...
