Su Xiaotian saw the woman running in a panic and quickly stepped aside.
As the woman passed Su Xiaotian, Su Xiaotian saw that she was holding a child in her arms, wrapped up tightly.
In this season, wouldn't wrapping a child so tightly cause heat rash?
Su Xiaotian wondered, but didn't pay much attention.
After all, it was someone else's business.
Less than a minute after the woman ran past Su Xiaotian, Su Xiaotian saw a man also hurrying past with a child in his arms.
Su Xiaotian was curious.
What was going on?
Why were people rushing by with children?
Subconsciously, Su Xiaotian felt that something might be wrong.
She looked at the man who hurried past.
This man was also holding a child.
However, the way he held the child made her feel very awkward.
Yes, and the way the previous woman held the child was also very wrong.
Su Xiaotian immediately became suspicious of the two.
She quickly washed the lunchbox and returned to the compartment with it.
Teacher Xie Nan was sitting on the bunk, continuing to read a science fiction novel.
Su Xiaotian didn't want Teacher Xie Nan to worry about her, so she smiled and said, "Teacher Xie, I ate a little too much and was just walking in the aisle to digest."
Xiao Yuanyang was packing his luggage and was so annoyed when he heard Su Xiaotian's words.
If she ate a little too much on the train, why didn't she share some of the food with others?
Teacher Xie Nan was busy reading and didn't even glance at Su Xiaotian.
She nodded without even looking up.
"Go ahead, but don't go too far."
Su Xiaotian turned and left.
Xiao Yuanyang said to Yin Ruyun, "We'll be arriving soon, why aren't you packing yet?"
This woman was becoming more and more unreasonable.
If it weren't for her youth and beauty, he would have dumped her long ago.
Yin Ruyun, sitting on the middle bunk, seemed to be lost in thought and didn't hear Xiao Yuanyang.
Xiao Yuanyang walked over and tugged at Yin Ruyun.
"Did you hear me?"
Yin Ruyun looked down at Xiao Yuanyang.
"Vice Principal Xiao, I want to go back to the capital, so I won't be getting off with you!"
After staring at Xiao Yuanyang for a while, Yin Ruyun suddenly smiled.
After smiling, Yin Ruyun stated her request very gently.
When she said this, Xiao Yuanyang was dumbfounded.
What did this mean?
Going to the capital?
Why would she suddenly want to go to the capital?
"What are you fussing about now?"
Xiao Yuanyang, thinking they were on a train and Teacher Xie Nan was present, managed to suppress his anger and spoke to Yin Ruyun in a calm voice.
While speaking, Xiao Yuanyang also warned Yin Ruyun with his eyes.
The meaning was clear: if Yin Ruyun continued to make a scene, she would regret it.
However, he didn't know that Yin Ruyun's thoughts had completely changed since before boarding the train.
After this departure, Yin Ruyun had no intention of seeing Xiao Yuanyang again.
Therefore, she saw the warning in Xiao Yuanyang's eyes but didn't take it to heart.
Yin Ruyun smiled calmly and said, "I just suddenly missed home and wanted to see my family. Although... they are still my relatives."
Xiao Yuanyang was on a business trip, and he only brought Yin Ruyun along to have someone to serve him tea and water.
He never expected Yin Ruyun to suddenly decide to go back to the capital on the train.
However, Xiao Yuanyang only thought that Yin Ruyun had seen Su Xiaotian and didn't think much of it.
Yin Ruyun also had no intention of falling out with Xiao Yuanyang on the train and making a spectacle of herself.
Her words were ambiguous, revealing nothing of her intention to leave forever.
She guessed that with Teacher Xie Nan present, Xiao Yuanyang wouldn't make things too difficult for her, even if he was unhappy.
"Why would you suddenly want to go back? Have you forgotten how they hurt you?" Xiao Yuanyang said patiently.
He was desperately suppressing his anger, only to avoid being laughed at by Teacher Xie Nan.
"Family ties, there are no grudges that last overnight, Vice Principal Xiao, don't you think?" Yin Ruyun said very casually.
"Alright, you go back and see them, and then come find me directly," Xiao Yuanyang could only say.
His business trip would last twenty days. By the time Yin Ruyun returned, he would still be on his trip.
And he firmly believed that even if Yin Ruyun went home, there would be no place for her there.
After all, in this era, a girl with a ruined reputation had nowhere to turn.
Since she wanted to humiliate herself, let her go.
Only when she returned to his side would she truly be at his mercy.
While they were talking, they saw the train attendant coming to check tickets.
Yin Ruyun paid to buy a ticket for the remaining half of the journey.
This was not an uncommon occurrence, and the ticket seller did not make things difficult for Yin Ruyun, directly selling her a ticket to the capital.
Holding the ticket to the capital, Yin Ruyun finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt completely at ease.
Her heart was filled with emotion; this ticket might lead her to a different future!
The train attendant continued forward, reminding passengers that the next stop was in twenty minutes and asking those who needed to alight to prepare in advance.
Meanwhile, Su Xiaotian followed the direction of the man and woman but couldn't find them.
She moved quickly and soon reached the last carriage of the train, but still couldn't find the two people, and she couldn't help but feel puzzled.
She turned back and carefully looked at the people in the carriage as she walked.
However, the man and woman holding the children had vanished as if they had evaporated into thin air.
Su Xiaotian felt increasingly that something was unusual.
As she passed the restroom, Su Xiaotian looked at the locked restroom door and suddenly thought that these two might be hiding in the restroom.
But with five or six carriages behind, in which carriage were these two hiding?
When she heard the train attendant say that the station was less than twenty minutes away, Su Xiaotian became even more anxious.
Her intuition told her that these two were problematic, and very problematic.
At this time, some passengers were already heading towards the train doors.
Helpless, Su Xiaotian could only head back to her own carriage.
However, as many people surged towards the train doors, her forward progress was repeatedly blocked.
Su Xiaotian decided to find a place to stand and wait until the train arrived at the station. Su Dan Novel Network
She found a relatively uncrowded spot and stood firm, her mind still wondering about the situation of that man and woman.
What about the children they were holding?
Why were they wrapped so tightly in such hot weather?
Moreover, the way they held the children clearly did not consider the child's comfort.
Considering these factors, Su Xiaotian came up with an idea that she herself could hardly believe.
Those two were human traffickers.
The children in their hands were likely not their own, but stolen.
But were the children stolen from the train, or stolen from somewhere else and intended to be trafficked to other cities?
