Sent to the countryside, I turned the health center into a top-tier hospital.

The waiting room door was completely closed, cutting off the view of the two people outside. The pregnant woman, who had been stiff, restrained, and motionless, suddenly went limp.

Before Chen Ping could even step forward to examine her, she suddenly raised her hand and grabbed his arm tightly.

Her fingertips were icy cold and trembling, her grip was incredibly strong, her entire face was filled with extreme fear, her eyes instantly turned red, and her voice was extremely low, filled with uncontrollable sobs and trembling: "Doctor...please, save me! Please save me!"

Seeing the pregnant woman's expression, Chen Ping's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly realized that something was wrong.

He immediately softened his tone, his voice gentle and steady, and soothed you softly, "Don't be afraid, it's safe here, no one can hurt you. Tell me slowly, what happened?"

The woman's teeth chattered, and tears instantly burst forth, rolling wildly down her fair cheeks. Trembling, she hurriedly lifted the loose, tattered hem of her dress.

The hem of her clothes was lifted up, revealing a shocking sight.

On her fair skin, there were dense, intermingled bruises, whip marks, and pinch marks.

The bruises and swellings covered the waist, abdomen, back, and limbs. Some of the bruises had darkened and scabbed over, while others were still fresh and red. It was clear that the patient had suffered long-term violent beatings and abuse.

The woman sobbed uncontrollably, her breath ragged, and she cried out in a near-desperate whisper, "I'm not his wife... I was kidnapped... I've been sold here for years... I want to go home, I really want to go home..."

"I tried to escape several times, and every time I was caught and brought back, I was beaten to death... They saw that I was pregnant and were afraid of harming the baby, so they toned it down a little, but they still watched me every day and kept me locked up. I couldn't escape at all..."

"This time I pretended to have a stomachache and said that the child was in danger, so they took me to the health center on a cart. It took more than five hours."

Listening to the woman's tearful lament and seeing the shocking wounds all over her body, Chen Ping was completely stunned.

A chill ran through me instantly, shooting from my feet to the top of my head.

Now it is the 21st century, a society governed by the rule of law, and the world is bright and clear. He never imagined that such inhumane and lawless human trafficking would still be hidden in the peaceful and stable Siping Township.

"Don't rush, tell me slowly. Where are you from? Why were you trafficked here? Tell me your name, the names of your parents or relatives."

Chen Ping asked in a soft voice.

Only by knowing the pregnant woman's true identity could Chen Ping investigate whether what she said was true.

The woman bit her lip hard, trying to suppress her sobs, afraid that the people outside the door would hear her. Her shoulders trembled with each sob.

She steadied herself, tried to control her erratic breathing, and whispered her information.

Her name is Lin Wan. Her hometown is in a city under the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng in a neighboring province. Her parents are ordinary office workers. She clearly stated her home address, her parents' names, and their contact numbers.

She had just graduated from university when she was abducted. She went out alone to find a job, but was tricked by human traffickers on the way. After changing hands several times, she finally ended up in Siping Township.

Chen Ping took out his phone and silently wrote down all the information word for word in his notes.

The woman spoke clearly and logically. Although she was extremely terrified, there was no trace of fabrication in her words. Every sentence revealed years of pent-up grievances and despair.

Especially when he talked about the details of his several escape attempts, being caught, and being brutally beaten, the fear in his eyes was impossible to fake.

However, given the gravity of the matter and the wide-ranging implications of the human trafficking case, Chen Ping dared not make a definitive conclusion based solely on one side's account and had to verify the facts thoroughly.

"This beast, is he even human? What era are we living in? How dare he do such a thing?"

After hearing this, Zhou Jie's body trembled slightly.

As a woman herself, she could understand the despair and fear of the pregnant woman in front of her.

"Lie down first, relax your body, and don't be afraid."

Chen Ping softened his voice to comfort her, reaching out to help her pull her clothes up to cover her bruises. "This is a health center; they won't dare to do anything reckless. I will definitely find a way to help you."

After saying that, Chen Ping looked at Zhou Jie and said, "Zhou Jie, you stay here and keep watch. Then use your phone to search and see if there are any missing person notices. Be quick."

"Okay, I'll check right away. Now, all I have to do is send the name to Doubao, and I can find it all." Zhou Jie said, taking out her phone to prepare to search.

Chen Ping took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and shock, and pushed open the door of the consultation room before walking out.

Outside the door, the disheveled man had been waiting anxiously. Seeing Chen Ping emerge, he rushed over, his face full of urgency: "Doctor, how is my wife? Is her pregnancy alright? Is the baby okay?"

The old lady next to her immediately came over, her cloudy eyes fixed on the door of the examination room, her gaze wary and tense, and she stayed close by the door the whole time.

Chen Ping's expression darkened, and he deliberately adopted a serious demeanor, his tone becoming somber: "The situation is not good. The fetal movement is unstable, the contractions are abnormal, and the fetus is very weak. We must immediately admit the baby for observation and to protect the pregnancy. If the baby is not hospitalized for rest and recuperation, there could be complications at any time."

The man's expression changed instantly as he waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Hospitalization? No way! We're not going to the hospital! We're busy at home, and there's work to be done in the fields. We don't have the time or the money for hospitalization! Just some medicine will do; we'll go home and recover!"

The old lady echoed, her tone resolute: "Yes, yes, no, we won't stay. We'll get some medicine to take home and recover at home; we won't be hospitalized!"

The two were unusually resolute. Upon hearing that they would be hospitalized, they reacted strongly, clearly indicating that they dared not stay at the health center for long, for fear of making the slightest mistake or giving themselves away.

Chen Ping understood, but his expression remained cold, and his tone was firm: "I won't stop you if you insist on going home, but let me make this clear: her physical condition is extremely poor right now."

"If a woman has qi and blood deficiency and an unstable pregnancy, forcing her to travel and endure rough and bumpy conditions will likely result in the loss of the baby. If any problems arise, our health center will not be responsible."

This statement hits the nail on the head.

Chen Ping knew that the ultimate goal of these families who bought wives was to have children and carry on the family line.

Now, at the mere mention of the child being in danger, the man and the old woman instantly freeze in place, their anxious and domineering expressions vanishing, replaced by hesitation and inner turmoil.

They went to great lengths to abduct women and endured so many years, all for the sake of having a child. They dared not gamble on the risk of something happening to the child.

The two men exchanged a glance, their faces turning pale and then flushed, their arrogance completely deflated.

After hesitating and struggling for several seconds, the man gritted his teeth and reluctantly relented: "Then... then fine, hospitalization it is."

Seeing that he had given in, Chen Ping remained calm and turned to Wang Tao beside him: "Take him to register his hospitalization information, make sure his identity information and permanent address are all registered and entered correctly."

As he spoke, he subtly gave Wang Tao a look.
