Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

The live stream chat was still filled with envy for the girl's amazing job, with the screen full of sighs and praises. Only Shen Jingshu remained calm and solemn, without a trace of a smile in her eyes.

Through the lens, she had already glimpsed an impending catastrophe in the girl's face.

Before the netizens could finish their heated discussion, Shen Jingshu's cold voice suddenly rang out, breaking the live broadcast's lively atmosphere: "You must listen to me right now and absolutely not participate in this team building activity. Call the police immediately."

His tone was firm and serious, without a trace of joking.

Cream Pudding on the other end of the video call froze, all the joy on her face vanishing. Her heart tightened, and she frantically asked, "Master Shen, what's wrong? Could it be... could it be that our flight is going to have an accident?"

She instinctively gripped her phone tighter, her expression anxious: "If the flight is in danger, can I warn my colleagues? I can't just watch everyone get hurt!"

"Don't make a sound, and don't alert anyone." Shen Jingshu interrupted sternly, her words clear and distinct. "Listen to me quietly. Have you only been working at this company for a little over a month?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Cream Pudding nodded repeatedly, her eyes wide with astonishment. "Master Shen, you're amazing! I've never told anyone this before!"

"Your company's salary and benefits are 20% higher than those of the same positions in the same industry, and the daily work is extremely relaxed with almost no heavy workload, right?"

"Yes! Absolutely right!" the girl replied repeatedly, her tone full of relief and a touch of bewildered joy. "I just graduated from university, and this is my first job. Since joining the company, I've had all the benefits and housing fund, and they give out welfare and gifts on holidays. The work is easy and the salary is high. I've always felt incredibly lucky and that I've found a great opportunity. I cherish this job very much."

At this point, she quickly returned to the main topic, her eyes filled with kindness: "Master Shen, if there really is a danger to the flight, I must tell my supervisor and colleagues! I can't just stand by and watch everyone get hurt!"

Looking at the girl's innocent and sincere appearance, Shen Jingshu sighed inwardly and uttered a shocking statement: "You don't need to remind anyone, because this is not a legitimate company at all; it's a complete shell company."

"Their so-called high salaries, relaxed benefits, and overseas team building trips are all a facade. The core business of this company is human trafficking."

boom!

These words were like a thunderclap, instantly stunning the girl on the live stream and bringing the entire chat room to a complete standstill, with the scrolling comments suddenly stopping.

Cream Pudding froze, all color draining from her face. Her voice trembled. "N-no way? Master Shen, are you sure you're not mistaken? Our team building trip is to France, not some dangerous place like Cambodia that's being talked about online. How could it be..."

"The destination is indeed France." Shen Jingshu calmly dissected the truth, her gaze sharp. "Take a close look at the tickets you just received. The entire route is not a direct flight; you will need to transfer in Thailand."

"This very turning point was actually a trap they had been planning for a long time."

Cream Pudding, who was so excited about winning the lucky bag that she didn't have time to look at the flight details carefully.

Upon hearing Shen Jingshu's words, she felt a chill run through her body. Her hands trembled as she frantically rummaged through her small handbag and pulled out a stack of brand-new plane tickets. She hurriedly checked the flight information, her heart pounding wildly.

Cream Pudding looked down and carefully checked the flight information. When she saw the words "transit in Thailand" and "stay for more than ten hours", she felt a chill run down her spine.

The last shred of doubt in my mind vanished completely, and a bone-chilling cold shot from the soles of my feet to the top of my head. My back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and my hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.

"Master...it's true! Everything you said is correct! It really is a transit point in Thailand, and the transit stay is over ten hours!"

Shen Jingshu's voice was calm yet sharp, each word piercing through the trap the other party had carefully laid:

"During the ten-plus-hour gap, they would inevitably use the excuse of being bored while waiting for their connecting flight to organize a trip to Thailand for everyone. Thailand is located in a gray area bordering Thailand, and this was something they had planned long ago."

"Once you land in Thailand, the 'airport pick-up personnel' arranged by the company will immediately surround you and control everyone under the pretext of team building and unified management. After you board the plane and take off, your supervisor will collect everyone's passports, ID cards, and mobile phones under the pretext of unified safekeeping and prevention of loss."

"By then, you will be in a foreign land, without documents, communication, or outside help, all alone, completely under their control. I don't need to elaborate on the consequences; you should know them in your heart."

Cream Pudding's mind went blank, and cold, desperate images flashed through her mind.

When trapped in a predicament, with nowhere to turn for help, and with no one to answer their cries for help, even if they wanted to call the police, cross-border rescue would be too far away to help them in time.

Her voice trembled with fear, choked with sobs as she frantically pleaded, "Master! What...what should I do?!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a familiar female voice suddenly came from behind him, abrupt and jarring.

"Xiao Zhang! So you're here! I've been looking for you for ages! We're about to board, what are you doing hiding here?"

Cream Pudding froze instantly, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

The person who came was Sister Li, the company's supervisor. She was in her thirties, looked gentle and approachable, and took extra care of the company's employees. She was a warm and considerate senior in everyone's eyes.

At this moment, Cream Pudding was completely lost and subconsciously regarded her as his only lifeline, so he opened his mouth and wanted to tell her everything that Shen Jingshu had told him.

Just as she was about to speak, Shen Jingshu's urgent and stern voice came through the earpiece: "Don't speak! Don't tell her! She's an accomplice in this human trafficking scam!"

These words were like ice water poured over her head, instantly waking the flustered girl.

Cream Pudding's pupils contracted sharply. Looking at Sister Li, who was smiling gently in front of her, her eyes instantly filled with extreme fear. She subconsciously shrank back, avoiding the other person's gaze.

Seeing her flustered expression and strange behavior, Sister Li frowned and asked again, "What are you standing there for, child? Didn't you hear me?"

Cream Pudding suppressed the overwhelming fear in her heart, desperately trying to steady her trembling voice, and pretended to be nonchalant: "Sister Li, I was wearing headphones and didn't hear you clearly just now. I was watching a live broadcast."

"Watching a live stream?" Sister Li leaned closer to the screen in confusion and glanced at it. It was indeed a live stream interface that was currently connected.

"Yeah, I was lucky enough to win a lucky bag from the streamer." Cream Pudding quickly explained, trying to sound natural. "I'll be right there. I'll come over after I collect my prize."

Sister Li chuckled casually, her tone nonchalant: "These online live stream perks are just gimmicks; what valuable stuff could they possibly have?"

"No, Sister Li, the prize in the lucky bag this time is a cell phone! I just graduated and don't have much savings, so I wanted to try my luck." Cream Pudding went along with the lie.

Without giving it much thought, Sister Li glanced at the time and said, "Alright, don't dawdle. There are only twenty minutes left before boarding, so hurry up."

After saying that, she turned around and joined the group of colleagues waiting not far away to count the number of people.
