Chapter 44: Encountering Human Traffickers?
Due to the cheap land in this old town, there are many orphanages nearby.
The children were all from nearby orphanages, and most of them longed to be adopted themselves.
As soon as they heard this, the frightened expressions on the faces of many children immediately dissipated a lot.
Seeing the fear on the children's faces dissipate, a smile appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth, and she continued:
"We will also earn hard money, you used to have no worries about food and clothing, and you didn't have to stay in a place like an orphanage, you all cooperate honestly, and we won't be embarrassed for you!"
In fact, most of the children who passed through their hands before were sold to the city.
However, only a very small number of children are able to live what they describe as a life of food and clothing.
More often than not, they are controlled by more unconscionable traffickers, made disabled, and go out to beg for food.
If the girls are beautiful, they will be sold to the mountains to be used as child brides.
Anyway, as long as she gets the money, she doesn't really care where the child is sent.
Seeing that the children's emotions were gradually calming down, the woman turned her head and looked at the man behind her.
The man stopped his movements, glanced at the children vaguely, and turned his head to tell his subordinates.
"You take care of them, let's go out."
Then he followed the woman and went downstairs.
Zhao Xiaotang was still searching for the children's traces floor by floor, but heard sudden footsteps.
Immediately hid behind the wall, hid his figure, and poked his head out to peep.
As the woman walked down the stairs, she sighed and said helplessly:
"I said, what are you going to do with that Yueyue!"
It seems that this matter gives her a lot of headaches.
When the man heard this, a look of impatience appeared on his face.
"What else can I do, wouldn't it be nice to sell it well!"
This topic has been discussed many times in just a few hours, but the results are not ideal.
When the woman heard the man's words, the expression on her face suddenly became gloomy, and she almost roared:
"Sell it well? Did you know that the police are looking for us everywhere these days? This kind of good-looking little girl is lost, will anyone find it, will anyone find it? ”
When the man saw the woman's anger, his face became gloomy.
"With such a good product, you sell it for a radish price! So what's the point of us taking such a risk! ”
"Do you have to sell her to those poor ghosts as a child bride? Or sell her to the beggars, and get crippled to ask for food? ”
"How much can those people give? Find a rich man to buy hundreds of thousands, isn't it good for our money to fly away? ”
Zhao Xiaotang, who was hiding behind the wall, listened to the words of the two, and his face was as cold as an iceberg.
Although she has been in many legal columns, or heard people around her talk about what happened to these children.
But now that I heard this trafficker say this, I couldn't help but be a little frightened.
She wanted to continue listening, but the two traffickers had already gone downstairs and walked away, and all she could hear was a faint roar.
Zhao Xiaotang also took this opportunity to walk upstairs quickly, secretly making up his mind.
Even if she risked her life, she would never let these children be taken away and sold by human traffickers.
Downstairs of an abandoned building.
Lu Chen and his party had already walked to the door.
Qin Shou looked at the abandoned building, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and said with a somewhat difficult expression:
"Brother, let's call the police, I'm afraid this abandoned building is a little difficult to walk."
There is no decoration here at all, it is all a rough house.
The corridor is in disrepair, and there is already a lot of cement mixed with bricks falling off, plus there are no escalator guardrails.
As long as you take a small step, you may fall directly and lose your life.
Lu Chen also looked at the dilapidated corridor in front of him with some difficulty, turned around and said to Qin Shou and Xu Xiaodan behind him:
"No, you two wait here for me!"
He wasn't worried about accidentally falling down the hallway.
Instead, they are afraid that if there is a real conflict with the traffickers, the traffickers will use the children as hostages, or they will simply break the net.
The gains outweigh the losses.
And you know, whether it's a narrow corridor without protection, or a group of vicious outlaws.
It is extremely dangerous for a photographer carrying a twenty-kilogram machine and a young lady who is not deeply involved in the world.
So this time Lu Chen planned to go by himself.
Just as Lu Chen was about to go alone, a man and a woman walked down the stairs with a roar.
"Huh?"
When the two of them saw Lu Chen and the three of them in front of them, their faces were a little confused.
Similarly, Lu Chen and the others had very confused expressions on their faces.
"Huh? Σ(°△°|||) ︴”
They didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and the traffickers appeared directly in front of them.
However, Lu Chen was not in a hurry to make a move.
He has yet to find the abducted children, and he does not know the number of enemies.
If you act rashly, it is very likely that you will be alarmed, and it will not be so easy to find them again.
Lu Chen lowered his head and pondered, and the man opposite was the first to react, and hurriedly asked:
"Who are you? How is it here? ”
The man's right hand had already touched the dagger pinned to his back, and if Lu Chen and the others moved slightly, he would pull out the dagger and kill the few people.
Lu Chen coughed hurriedly, his brain running rapidly.
"Ahem! I'm an adventure streamer, and this is my photographer and assistant! ”
"We heard that the unfinished buildings here are haunted at night, so we came to explore."
Qin Shou and Xu Xiaodan nodded slightly and said hello to the man in front of them.
The man looked nervously at the camera and smiled stiffly at the camera.
Seemingly frightened by the swarthy lens of the camera, he immediately took a step back and turned sideways.
"Don't shoot me, I'm not good-looking!"
Obviously, he had already believed most of Lu Chen's words.
After all, this unfinished building doesn't even want people who live nearby, and normal people won't come here at all, so only the anchor will come here for a curious hunt.
Lu Chen glanced at the woman behind the man, and said with some curiosity:
"Uncle, who are you? How can it be in an unfinished building? I just heard you arguing? ”
The man's face was a little embarrassed, and he coughed and replied:
"I was the project manager at a nearby construction site, and our boss seemed to want to restart the construction of this unfinished building, so I came over to have a look."
"Now this unfinished building is under the management of our construction site, so you still don't go in!"
The man's brain was also very bright, and in just a few words, he stopped Lu Chen and the others from wanting to go upstairs.
Lu Chen was not in a hurry, but glanced at the woman behind the man, patted the shoulder of the man in front of him, and said earnestly:
"Uncle, be more patient with your wife, I heard you arguing from afar!"
Man: You're teaching me how to do things???
In the face of Lu Chen, who was not much younger than himself, with such a point, an angry "well" symbol suddenly appeared on the man's forehead, and he subconsciously wanted to pull out the dagger pinned to his back.
Seeing this, the woman hurriedly patted the man's shoulder, stopped the man's movements, and gave the man a blank look and said:
"That's it, the little brother of the other family has lived much more thoroughly than you!"
