Chapter 333: Remembered
They didn't even need to avoid being overheard or hide anything as they flirted so openly.
But there were many details during this time, such as that middle-aged man in the lower bunk—was he good or bad?
He had specifically given her this direction.
However, Xiaoya had indeed gone missing in the other direction!
A coincidence?
She thought about a lot while in the corner, hidden by the burlap sack.
"Have you seen this child?" the old woman asked urgently.
"Ma'am, we haven't seen her; nobody really comes over to this side!" the woman said, speaking gentle words while doing wicked, heartless things.
The old woman wiped away her tears; her eyes were already poor, yet she walked forward with a faltering gait.
"Hmph, why pay any mind to that old hag!" a male voice said.
An Yinan had the heart to warn the old woman, but she was afraid of alerting the enemy.
Just then, the sound of footsteps approached.
"Excuse me, have you seen a young woman? One meter seventy tall, hair to here, very thin!"
An Yinan heard a familiar voice—that middle-aged man.
The person she had suspected before.
But now that she heard his voice, she felt relieved.
It was good that he wasn't part of this ring.
"Haven't seen her, haven't seen her!" the man waved his hand, looking impatient.
Just as the middle-aged man was about to leave, he saw a word on the wall.
"Economics."
These two characters were out of place here.
If he remembered correctly, the book that young woman was reading had that very title.
"Economics"!
He had been curious at the time and had even taken a look.
That young woman must have been here, and that burlap sack was very suspicious!
"What are you looking at? Don't want your eyes anymore?" a man roared.
"Keep looking and I'll dig them out for you!" another unfamiliar voice said.
Judging by the voices, there were at least six of their people here.
The middle-aged man smiled ingratiatingly, "Sorry, sorry, I'm in a rush looking for someone; I'll go check over there."
"I won't bother you brothers anymore!"
The man left.
An Yinan didn't know if he had seen the hint; she hadn't held much hope for it anyway.
The stuff on the train was just a sedative; at the very least, it was still safe!
She wasn't in a hurry now; she hoped the middle-aged man could see her hint and take good care of that grandmother.
That night, the night was very quiet, and during it, An Yinan was given another dose of sedative.
They probably feared she might wake up in the middle of it.
"Pangzi, is this the place?" a short person in black walked over from the inner carriage.
The person who had been keeping watch was knocked unconscious by a side-handed strike from him.
"Let's see." A white, chubby person opened the burlap sack containing An Yinan.
An Yinan had heard the noise outside, though she hadn't paid much attention to it at first.
But when the sack was suddenly opened, she and that person in white locked eyes!
"You..." the person in white was just about to speak.
An Yinan made a "shh" gesture, then pushed the sack down and quietly moved a good distance away.
"Who are you?" An Yinan asked.
The two of them exchanged a look, "Who are you?"
An Yinan spread her hands, "An innocent woman who got kidnapped?"
The brothers wore expressions of looking at a fool—look, do you think we believe that?
"Fine, no matter who you are, you're definitely not with them!"
"This group has accomplices, likely in different Regional Economics, at least three waves."
"There are seven people here, one woman and six men."
"They sync up information at seven in the morning and three in the afternoon."
"It's best if you act like you were never here today and have the train Police contact the local Police as soon as possible."
"Don't act rashly on the train." An Yinan instructed them one by one; she had remembered who the two were.
"What about your safety?" the white, chubby man asked.
"I can protect myself. Later, use directional arrows as markers. Because of your actions today, they will be more vigilant tomorrow, so you must be even more careful."
"Alright, I understand," the man opposite replied.
"Also, I have a favor to ask: in the lower bunk of this carriage, there is an old woman. Please take extra care of her; her granddaughter is also among the missing."
An Yinan told them the old woman's information so she could finally rest easy.
"Got it, don't worry. If there are any changes, just shout; we'll find a way to rescue you," the chubby man said earnestly.
An Yinan nodded, then returned to the corner and tucked herself back into the burlap sack.
That thin person walked forward and tied the mouth of An Yinan's sack.
The knot tied was exactly the same as that gang of human traffickers.
Too much time had passed, and An Yinan had thought for a long time, until just now, when she suddenly remembered these two people.
The thin and fat youths from the County of Quanshui Village had now grown into their current appearance.
At three-something in the middle of the night, a burst of cursing rang out.
"Lao Er, damn it, I let you keep watch, is this how you keep watch?"
"Sleeping like a dead pig, what are you even good for?"
"Never mind the goods, you wouldn't even know if you were lost yourself."
Although the voice was suppressed, one could still hear his fury.
"I... I didn't sleep." That Lao Er rubbed his neck, feeling a sore sensation; could it be that he really had fallen asleep? How did he even get a stiff neck?
"Stop talking for now, check the goods," that woman said.
An Yinan narrowed her eyes; she had heard them when they started cursing, but she did not move, after all, she was currently a person in a coma, it would be a ghost if she moved.
The sack was opened, and seeing the person sleeping like a dead pig, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lao Liu, you go check the other places."
"We are almost at the destination, everyone perk up, what we are doing is a business that earns a bullet, watch your own heads!"
"Boss, I'm going right now." Following that was a series of footsteps leaving.
This side fell into silence, everyone stopped talking, but everyone perked up.
Everyone also lost their sleepiness; once the goods were off the vehicle, couldn't they sleep however they wanted?
After more than twenty minutes, "Boss, both sides are fine, there isn't any movement at all."
Only then did the boss breathe a sigh of relief, "It seems it was an accident, we are in a business that risks our lives, everyone stay alert, don't let everyone be buried with you because of one person."
After speaking, he sat directly on the ground; although there were few goods this time, the quality was good, and they could sell for a good price.
It was enough for this group of brothers to eat and drink for half a year; the wind was tight recently, and if he hadn't run out of surplus grain, he wouldn't have risked bringing his brothers out to gamble with their lives.
An Yinan closed her eyes; she could sleep with peace of mind.
Now the train only had one terminal station, Yangcheng!
All roads lead to the same destination; although the process was not comfortable, she would also make those people pay the price.
Such people are not worthy of sympathy; they deserve to die!
Because of them, how many people were displaced, how many people were homeless, with no one to call upon and nowhere to turn.
Pity them, but who would pity those innocent people?
