CHAPTER 224: CHAPTER 224: ANHE VILLAGE (PART 2)

Lin Xiaoyan watched the few children in front strolling leisurely, about to reach the turning point.

"Zhang Xiaoxiao, I’ll help you wipe the desk later, next time you buy spicy sticks, let me have some too!"

"Sure, I’ll buy spicy sticks next time it’s my duty day!"

"Great, I’ll also buy popping candy!"

"Next week, let’s leave at this time again. There’s no one on the road then, and we can each buy different snacks to share!"

"Alright!"

"Okay!"

Not far after the turn, there’s the school. The children had already finished the snacks they bought, took out tissues and wipes to clean their mouths and hands, checking each other’s faces...

Lin Xiaoyan watched from afar, deeply impressed.

She recalled when she was little, she once secretly bought spicy sticks to eat, and was caught by her mom just after finishing.

The reason was the chili stuck in her teeth!

Gradually, the children’s figures disappeared around the corner.

Lin Xiaoyan frowned, feeling a bit worried inside.

Nan Xi remained still; her task was to protect Lin Xiaoyan. Wherever Lin Xiaoyan was, so was she.

"How about... we go check that side?" Lin Xiaoyan suggested, looking at Nan Xi.

Nan Xi glanced towards the corner, "I suggest we don’t. If those people notice us, they will certainly become alerted."

"For now, it’s better not to startle the snake."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan had no choice but to agree. She sat in the car, waiting patiently.

"Ah, little rabbits!"

Lin Xiaoyan vaguely heard the children’s excited voices.

Yes, in the scenes she "saw" earlier, those traffickers pretended to sell little rabbits, chicks, ducks, and other animals to lure the children.

Then, while the kids weren’t paying attention, they directly covered the kids’ mouths and noses with drugged cloths and took them away.

Zhang Xiaoxiao and a few kids squatted happily on the ground, watching the super cute animals in the cage.

"If you like, you can buy them and take them home. They’re very cheap, only five yuan each," said a woman sitting there with a smile.

However, as she looked over the five children, she became more and more satisfied.

These kids were well-fed, plump, and good-looking, all fetch a good price!

They didn’t expect their first visit to Sea City to be such a big score!

"Honey, take out the tadpoles and such from the car!"

The woman shouted loudly.

"Tadpoles!!!"

The boys shouted, looking towards the car.

The only girl gazed longingly at the little rabbits on the ground, and upon hearing about the tadpoles, displayed a puzzled expression.

"Aren’t tadpoles only available in spring?"

The woman smiled mysteriously, "These are specially bred by us, available in any season!"

"Really? Really?" The boys couldn’t contain their excitement, rushing towards the car compartment.

Soon, two men emerged from the car compartment, each holding a small box.

"Make way, make way, tadpoles, bees, crickets... all here!"

Hearing this, the boys became even more excited.

As the men placed the boxes on the ground, four boys immediately surrounded them.

The woman, seeing this, displayed a proud smile.

One man quickly moved to the road, glanced around, and, confirming no one was around, signaled the woman to deal with the little girl.

The woman nodded, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and a man stepped down from the compartment, exchanging looks before covering the nearby children’s mouths and noses.

"Mmm! Mmm..."

"Ah, what are you doing? Mmm..." The only child not covered shouted loudly upon seeing his friends being seized by the bad guys and tried to run away.

However, after just a few steps, he was grabbed by the collar and had his nose covered too...

He wanted to call for help, yet... gradually became weak, unable to keep his eyes open...

In his last thoughts, "Mom, there are really bad people in this world! Boo hoo..."

As the head of Anhe Village reached the village entrance, he received a call from Zhang Ming before he even got home. "What! Human traffickers!"

His face changed drastically, cursing immediately, "I want to see which beast dares enter Anhe Village to abduct children!!!"

Beside him, two people, stunned at the head’s words, looked nervously at him, wondering what happened and why traffickers would come to their village?

After hanging up, the head quickly sent a voice message to the group.

"Attention people of Anhe Village! Attention! Just received news, traffickers have come to our village!"

"Now, every household pay attention. The men take something and hide at all junctions, don’t boldly stand at the gate!"

"I want these beasts to come and not return!!!"

"Also, for families with children, keep an eye on them! Don’t get so caught up in the excitement that you lose your own kids..."

One message after another sent to the group, causing an instant uproar.

Meanwhile, the police near Anhe Village received a call from the city bureau and immediately proceeded to Anhe Village.

"Number two, shall we go or catch a few more?"

The woman looked at the five little kids in the car compartment, smiling as she asked one of the men.

The man’s brows were erratic, eyes vicious. He glanced at the kids in the car and said, "Go! Pack up and go."

The other two men, hearing this, went out to load the outside animals into the car immediately.

The woman felt it was a pity. They hadn’t had an operation since delivering the last batch for a long time.

Now, they finally got a chance. Catching a few more, she could earn a bit more money...

"Hurry up, what are you daydreaming about?" The man, observing the woman’s expression, knew what was on her mind.

This woman is a nuisance! Too greedy!

If he hadn’t run fast last time, he would’ve been caught!

All because of this greedy woman’s reluctance to leave...

Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi sat in the car, never stepping out all along.

They glanced at the time now and then, as He Qi’an’s message arrived, informing them the arrangements were made, telling them to leave Anhe Village.

Lin Xiaoyan, seeing this, informed Nan Xi they could leave.

Nan Xi immediately started the car, looking at Lin Xiaoyan, "Which road should we take?"

Lin Xiaoyan glanced towards the turning point, "How about... taking this road?"

"Sure!"

Nan Xi drove steadily to the turning point, where they saw a panel van with two men loading cages from the ground into the vehicle.

As they drove up, the two men immediately watched them warily.

Lin Xiaoyan took a glance, feeling those men’s gazes terribly frightening.

Nan Xi also took a look and then retracted her gaze, "Look ahead."

Nan Xi whispered.

Lin Xiaoyan retracted her gaze, looking ahead, guessing that those kids might have been drugged unconscious and were now lying in the vehicle compartment.
