Although she didn't say anything to death, Yu Ruoruan had already made a decision in her heart.
Fu Chuan frowned, "Why do you say that? Ruanruan, could it be that you are overthinking?"
When the two people passed by just now, Fu Chuan didn't pay close attention. He only remembered that the man was dirty and the little girl was also dirty.
Or maybe it's just a homeless father and daughter.
It is not good to accuse others without any evidence.
Fu Chuan hesitated for a moment and then advised, "Let's go back and report this matter to Director Liu and ask him if there has been any missing persons case recently. Now we are following him rashly. What if the other party has an accomplice?"
"no!"
Yu Ruoruan's eyes became more solemn. She had no time to explain to Fu Chuan and said hurriedly, "You go back to Bureau Liu. I have to follow and find out."
"Soft!"
Fu Chuan wanted to pull Yu Ruanruan away, but a sharp hand clasped his wrist, stopping his movement. Huo Xu's face was as solemn as Yu Ruanruan's, with a sharp warning in his phoenix eyes, and he looked at Fu Chuan
He made a gesture of silence and gestured:
【You go back and find someone.】
After making this gesture, the air pressure around Huo Xu's body became low and cold. Before Yu Ruanruan could speak, he quickly chased after the father and daughter.
Seeing Huo Xu's figure flashing past, Yu Ruanruan's mind was buzzing.
I was 100% sure that there was something wrong with the father and daughter just now, and the origin of the child was definitely unknown.
Don't ask why.
intuition.
The little guy's obedient and forbearing look was all too familiar to her.
It was a terrifying memory deeply engraved in my bones and the deepest part of my soul.
Yu Ruanruan quickly ran towards Huo Xu, and the two figures disappeared deep into the bushes. Fu Chuan froze on the spot, his eyes widened, and he actually regretted his refutation of Ruanruan's point just now.
He should go with Ruanruan.
However, if Ruanruan guessed correctly and that person was really a trafficker, wouldn't they be very dangerous?
The most urgent task is to go back to Bureau Liu to report the matter.
Yu Ruanruan and Huo Xu chased the father and daughter deeper into the mountain forest.
A thatched house appeared in front, with lights on inside.
When the homeless man carried the little girl into the house, three middle-aged men with sharp mouths and monkey cheeks came out.
One of them took the little girl back into the house, while the other two stood outside talking to the homeless man.
"Why are you moving so slowly?"
"The car had a flat tire and was being watched closely. This kid has some status. I moved to five or six places in three days to avoid being tracked by her family."
"Hurry up and prepare. We can't stay in this place. Today, the winter camp organized by the city bureau suddenly chose a location here. I heard that the director of the city's criminal investigation team is also teaching. Our lair may be discovered at any time."
The three traffickers whispered and walked into the house.
Yu Ruanruan wanted to get closer to hear it more clearly, but a pair of hands suddenly covered her mouth and pulled her back.
She ran into the warm embrace, and a familiar and very safe atmosphere surrounded her.
Huo Xu pushed her down and squatted in a bush about half a person's height. In this position, the two of them were very close. His hot breath fell on her ears, and his magnetic voice was very low, "If you take one more step forward, you will be fine."
It's about to be discovered."
"Huo Xu, what should I do?"
Yu Ruanruan turned her head to look at him helplessly, her little hands tightly grasping the hem of his clothes.
The panic she felt at this moment was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Listening to the conversations of those traffickers, the past buried deep in the memory is like the fish bones left on the beach after the tide goes out, riddled with holes and rotten and stench.
Just when her face turned pale, she had difficulty breathing, a huge sense of insecurity hit her, and the sequelae began to appear on her one by one.
Her body was suddenly violently turned, and then a big hand pressed the back of her head, and her little face was instantly buried deep into the man's generous chest.
The arms around her shoulders were so tight that she felt suffocated.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Huo Xu's voice trembled slightly, and these few words seemed to be spoken not just for Yu Ruanruan's ears.
Yu's soft face was pressed against the man's chest, feeling his chest vibrate with his vocal cords. This familiar feeling of deja vu made her heart ache and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
That's the feeling.
What she loved about Huo Xu was the familiar feeling in him.
He was obviously so cruel and indifferent to her in the past, but she still clung to him like a moth to a flame because he had a long-lost sense of security.
It's someone she wants to rely on and trust.
The less you can get, the more you want.
No.
Sometimes she even had the illusion that Huo Xu belonged to her from the beginning.
Even though he had never given her a good look, even though she had forced their engagement, she knew from the first moment she saw him that he belonged to her.
And at this moment, his behavior also verified this.
When he held her, she really didn't feel as uncomfortable as before.
Yu Ruanruan actually doesn’t remember much about what happened when she was a child.
But she still remembered that while she was in several welfare homes, she was once targeted by human traffickers.
The memories from that time have become blurred and become fragments one after another.
But every vague fragment is the shadow of childhood.
As she grew up, she developed a weird and somewhat paranoid personality.
That's why she could tell at a glance that the man just now was a human trafficker, and she had some mental illness because of it. But when Huo Xu held her, all the reactions caused by the mental illness disappeared.
Yu Ruanruan's stiff body began to relax and she reached out to push.
But I found that the man's body was stiff for some reason, "Huo Xu, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Ruanruan poked her head out of his arms with great effort.
The light was dim, and his face was hidden in the shadows. His bromine-black eyes were like black holes that couldn't see light. There was a trace of extremely repressed emotion that was tightly sealed in the depths of his phoenix eyes.
He didn't know what he was thinking.
Yu Ruanruan called him three times before he came back to his senses, and his face turned pale for a moment.
Huo Xu lowered his eyelids, concealed the sadness in his eyes, let her go, and then noticed that she was not wearing gloves.
"Where are the gloves?"
"I came in a hurry just now and dropped it on the road."
Huo Xu pursed his lips and silently took off his gloves.
The hot palm grasped Yu Ruanruan's small hand, and the warm palm was like a stove. Yu Ruanruan's little hand, which had been numb from the cold, regained consciousness.
Huo Xu breathed at her hand, rubbed it, then put on his gloves for her, lowered his eyelids, and said in a deep voice, "Now that we have found their lair, don't worry, wait for Fu Chuan and Lao Liu to take care of them."
People come here."
"Um."
Yu Ruoruan nodded.
At this moment, the door of the thatched hut suddenly opened, and a trafficker walked towards the van next to him.
Soon, the cry of a child was heard in the house.
They were all children under the age of 8. Those vicious human traffickers acted rudely and pushed the children into the car.
Are you planning to run away?
Yu Ruanruan and Huo Xu looked at each other, and their eyes were as cold and stern as ever.
Huo Xu sent Liu Bo a WeChat location sharing, but the signal was not good in the mountains. He counted four traffickers in total.
He might not be able to defeat him with bare hands, but he was afraid that the opponent would have weapons.
However, it was too late to hesitate now, and these traffickers planned to escape with the children.
There is a road not far from the thatched house. Follow that road to the corridor and leave the province.
When the time comes, where will they find people?
When Huo Xu stood up with a gloomy face, Yu Ruanruan suddenly stuffed something into his hand, "Shrink the electric shock rod, for self-defense."
