Wen Li teased the little dumpling for a while, and when she saw him give a delicate yawn, she reached out and hugged him into her arms, patting him gently.

"Go to sleep! You're safe now!"

Little Dumpling closed her eyes peacefully as she listened to Wen Li's gentle voice.

Wen Li looked at Liu He beside her and saw that she was lost in her own thoughts, shrouded in despair, and sighed.

In this day and age, for someone like Liu He, even if she doesn't lose her innocence and even if she goes back, life might not be easy, unless she's the only child in the family or her family members are more open-minded.

But judging from her dejected appearance, it's clear that her family members aren't the kind of people who are open-minded.

"No matter what, staying alive is the most important thing!"

Liu He curled up into a ball, "But when I think about going back and facing the pointing fingers of others, and the cold stares of my family, I don't know how I'm going to go on living!"

Wen Li could tell that Liu He was actually a very courageous girl with her own ideas, otherwise she wouldn't have stood up at such a crucial moment.

Do you have a job?

Liu He didn't know why Wen Li asked that, but she nodded anyway. "I'm a female worker in a textile factory. The factory received a big order, but I was caught because I worked too late that night!"

"Would you like to move to a different place?"

"you mean?"

"If your family can't accept you, perhaps you could consider secretly selling your job and going to the countryside as an educated youth, somewhere far away!"

Liu He's eyes lit up. Yes, she wasn't without a way out. Her job could earn her at least four or five hundred yuan. She had been working since she was a child. Although going to the countryside was hard work, with this money, her life wouldn't be too difficult.

Then, she can choose a place where no one knows her and start over!

"Wen Li, thank you!"

Liu He spoke sincerely, and the despair in her eyes was gone.

"No need. You're a good girl, and I hope your future will be bright and promising!"

Liu He felt a warmth in her heart. She hadn’t expected Wen Li to say such a thing. She thought she would be disliked!

Wen Li only offered this idea because she felt sorry for her.

With the current turbulent situation, a letter of introduction is needed wherever she goes, and she can't do business in secret. The news of Liu He's abduction must have spread throughout the area. Unless she can withstand everyone's pointing fingers and gossip, she may not be able to survive.

The power of verbal abuse is something most people can't withstand.

That's why Wen Li thought of sending her to the countryside as an educated youth.

The two chatted for a while longer before they heard some noise. Wen Li didn't know if the human traffickers had any accomplices, but it was better to be cautious.

"Liu He, you go inside first, I'll go see what's going on!"

Liu He took the sleeping little dumpling from her. "Be careful!"

After everyone went inside, Wen Li picked up a gun and quietly walked to the gate of the yard. She saw more than a dozen flashlight beams shining from a distance, and all the people there were riding bicycles.

She recognized the figures at the very front.

"Lu Zechuan, Qi Zhiqing, I'm here!"

Upon hearing Wen Li's voice, Lu Zechuan immediately ran towards her.

While the others were still behind, Lu Zechuan immediately pulled the person into his arms tightly.

"I'm so glad you're alright!"

Hearing his hoarse voice, Wen Li felt a slight pang in her heart. "I'm sorry to have worried you! When did you realize I was missing?"

"After work, I noticed you hadn't returned, and I realized something was wrong. I searched the entire commune but couldn't find you. The brigade leader didn't give you a letter of introduction either, so I guessed something might have happened to you!"

"Later, the Jiang family also looked for Jiang Yue'er. Knowing that she had gone to the commune today and hadn't returned, we guessed that something might have happened to you!"

Lu Zechuan didn't recount the details of what happened, only explaining how he discovered she was in trouble.

Wen Li felt his body was still trembling slightly, so she raised her hand and patted him on the back. "Don't be nervous, I'm fine!"

"Um!"

At this moment, Qi Jun and Su Hao also caught up. When they saw the human traffickers in the courtyard, Su Hao stepped forward and kicked one of them.

Seeing this, Qi Jun and Deng Wei raised their hands and started beating the traffickers. In no time, the traffickers were left with bruises and swelling on their faces.

"What are you doing!"

Several police officers entered and saw Su Hao's actions. Fearing he might beat someone to death, they quickly stopped him.

Only then did the group stop.

Su Hao stepped forward, "Wen Zhiqing, thank goodness you're alright!"

Thank you all, I'm sorry to have worried you!

"Hey~ We're all friends, what's the big deal? Besides, we weren't really that helpful!"

The scene was still somewhat chaotic. Several police officers brought Liu He and Xiao Tuanzi out. Xiao Tuanzi woke up at this time and ran towards Wen Li when she saw her, her little hands nervously tugging at the hem of her clothes.

Wen Li patted his head to reassure him not to be afraid.

In no time, several police officers had detained all the human traffickers. Seeing that they were still unconscious, Xu Yuan filled a bucket with water and poured it directly on them.

When the cold water was poured on them, the ones who ate less woke up, while the ones who ate more remained asleep like logs.

Finally, someone borrowed an oxcart from a nearby village and threw all those people onto it.

"Comrade Wen, we need you to go back and cooperate with our investigation, and give a statement!"

"Of course, thank you for your help!"

The group returned to the commune together. When they arrived at the police station, Wen Li saw Jiang Yue'er and the Jiang brothers still waiting there. The brigade leader and the village chief, along with more than a dozen villagers, were waiting at the entrance of the police station. All the male educated youth from the educated youth compound had also arrived.

It seems that the news of her and Jiang Yue'er's disappearance has already spread throughout the village.

"Captain, village chief, uncles, I'm so sorry to have worried you!"

The captain stepped forward, looking at Wen Li with a relieved expression. "It's good that you're alright. The police said they need to keep you here for questioning. It's getting late, so I'll take everyone back to the village first!"

"Okay, I'll treat everyone to dinner when I get back!"

After the captain and the others left, Wen Li went with the police to give her statement, recounting everything that had happened that day. Of course, she didn't hide how Jiang Yue'er had schemed against her.

After listening, the police officers were somewhat speechless. Jiang Yue'er had just finished taking their statements, and that's not what she said at the time.

Of course, they didn't believe their side of the story and also asked other victims.

Aside from the part where Jiang Yue'er schemed against Wen Li, which no one knows, everyone knows exactly what happened afterward.

Even if Jiang Yue'er wanted to steal the credit, it was useless.

Wen Li deserves a lot of credit for catching these human traffickers!

"Comrade Wen, this group of people has been committing crimes all over the country for years, and we haven't been able to catch them. It's all thanks to you now; otherwise, who knows how many more people they would have harmed. On behalf of the Hongxing Public Security Bureau, I thank you!"

Wen Li was a little shy because of Wang Gong'an's solemn appearance.

"I was only trying to save myself. It was just a coincidence that I was able to help you. Please don't say that!"
