CHAPTER 26: CHAPTER 25: LIVESTREAM BUSTING HUMAN TRAFFICKERS

Before the netizens could react, Hou Yiyun had already disappeared from the screen.

Then an indescribable noise came from the live stream, accompanied by a black screen on her side.

It was as if the phone had been put into a pocket, rubbing against the fabric and the wind.

All of it was picked up by the microphone, making it particularly harsh.

Soon the viewers in the live stream couldn’t take it anymore.

[Oh my, where did you put this?]

[Why did Hou Yiren suddenly run off in good condition? Did you see what just happened?]

Everyone was utterly confused by this sudden situation, unable to make sense of it.

No sooner had they begun to guess than a very noisy commotion erupted in the live stream.

Several people were cursing and tearing at each other, and after a loud ’bang,’ the screen turned to the blue sky.

[Oh no, Hou Yiren’s phone has fallen to the ground.]

Just when everyone thought the live stream would stay like that until it hung up... the phone suddenly adjusted its angle.

[There’s an image! There’s an image!]

[A good person, they even know to pick up the phone so we can see clearly.]

[I don’t know who it is, but let’s express our gratitude here.]

Mu Yunchu subtly raised an eyebrow.

However, everyone’s attention was focused on Hou Yiyun’s side.

They saw Hou Yiyun, who had just been talking to them, now standing resolutely in front of a child a few years old, loudly rebuking a middle-aged woman about forty or fifty.

The woman had dark skin, unruly long hair, and glared at Hou Yiyun, cursing her to mind her own business.

[What’s going on, why did they suddenly start fighting?]

[Look, Hou Yiren is holding that little girl’s hand, maybe they know each other.]

Amid the chaos, the phone silently moved a little farther away. No one noticed that it was floating close to the ground the whole time, suspended in mid-air with no one holding it.

Mu Yunchu quietly cast another talisman.

In the next second, the conversation between them was clearly picked up by the phone’s microphone.

"Are you the child’s parent? I don’t care about anything else! I just want to know if you’re the child’s parent!"

"How am I not? Who are you? Stop talking nonsense, give me the child!"

"Then why doesn’t the child want to go with you? The child says they don’t know you!"

...

Upon hearing these two sentences, the netizens instantly understood something.

[This, this, this is probably an attempted child abduction on the street!!!]

Hou Yiyun was already young, coupled with years of malnutrition, so she was very thin and weak. Looking at the middle-aged woman standing opposite her, it would be effortless for her to overpower Hou Yiyun even if there were two of her.

Amid noisy arguments, a man suddenly came running from afar.

He rushed up and pushed Hou Yiyun to the side, intending to grab the girl and leave.

[Oh no! The trafficker’s accomplice has arrived!]

[Does any of the netizens recognize where this is? Is anyone nearby, hurry and help!]

[I’ve reported it to the police, I know this place but it’s really too far from my home, I can’t get there in time!]

Seeing Hou Yiyun struggling one against two, not letting go of the girl’s hand despite the huge disparity in strength, they were extremely anxious.

Each one wished they could jump out of the phone screen and help.

Hou Yiyun tightly held the little girl while calling for help with all her might. Although the place they were in wasn’t a bustling street, there were still occasional passersby.

Seeing more and more people being alerted, the two child traffickers exchanged a look.

The woman turned and ran, while the man kicked Hou Yiyun, managing to snatch the child from her hands.

[Oh no, the child has been taken away!]

All at once, the child’s cries, Hou Yiyun’s calls for help, and the shouts of bystanders chasing them were mingled together.

Even Li Shang, watching the live stream behind Mu Yunchu, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth on the concrete ground.

Then, out of nowhere, a white nanny van sped towards them, stopping not far from the traffickers.

Just a few steps away.

From their position, they couldn’t see the people inside the van clearly, but they could guess it was accomplices waiting to aid them.

If they really got into the van, then the child might never be found again!

However, the enthusiastic citizens who had followed after them were still a little distance away, despite exerting all their strength, they couldn’t quite close the gap.

They could only watch helplessly as the traffickers got closer and closer to the waiting van.

"Don’t let them escape!" Hou Yiyun clutched her stomach, breaking out in cold sweat.

Just as the man was about to get into the van, Mu Yunchu squinted her eyes, her lips moved.

In the next second.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the man suddenly tripped over his own feet.

As if he had stumbled over something.

His whole body lurched forward, falling to the ground.

During this time, the pursuing crowd caught up with him.

Even though everyone was seeing each other for the first time today, their cooperation was exceptionally smooth.

One person first picked up the child and moved them to a safe spot, guarding them tightly. The others restrained the trafficker. Some grabbed his hands, others his legs, and an aunt directly sat on his back, grabbing his hair.

"Ah ah ah!"

Screams filled the air.

As the sirens wailed, the accomplices of the man, realizing the unfavorable situation, drove off quickly, and some people tried to chase them but failed.

...

[That was really thrilling, you have no idea how nervous I was, my heart was about to jump out of my throat.]

[Luckily, luckily, when the trafficker was about to get into the van, he suddenly tripped. God must be watching, otherwise, they wouldn’t have caught up.]

[Speaking of that, I remember wondering, that trip was so sudden, I recall there wasn’t any obstacle on the ground at the time, wasn’t it flat terrain?]

[I guess he’s done too many bad things and is finally getting his comeuppance.]

[I feel the same, that fall was just too timely...]

...

The man was arrested on the spot by the police, and Hou Yiyun cooperated by explaining the situation and entrusted the child to them.

However, the police also advised her, "If something like this happens again, you must ensure your personal safety first."

After all, in his eyes, Hou Yiyun was still just a child herself.

...

She held her stomach and picked up the phone again, and the netizens could still see how pale her face was.

[Sister, are you okay? It seemed like you got kicked in the stomach just now?]

[Yeah, should you go to the hospital for a checkup?]

Yet, Hou Yiyun shook her head coldly and, after greeting Mu Yunchu, ended the call.

[I feel like she might be in pain from the kick, just doesn’t want to tell us.]

[She really made me realize how narrow-minded I was; although she’s wearing heavy makeup, her heart is very pure.]

[You have no idea how shocking that scene was just now, it completely changed my preconceived notions about punks.]

[I’m a bit worried about her suddenly, host, can you tell us what might happen to her later?]

Mu Yunchu watched the screen, her deep, pool-like eyes rippling with barely visible waves.

This was the turning point she mentioned that would change Hou Yiyun’s life forever.
