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

Chapter 405 The company is involved in human trafficking.

Watching Sister Li's figure disappear into the distance, Cream Pudding's tense nerves suddenly relaxed. She gasped for breath, her back already soaked with cold sweat, and she almost collapsed into her seat.

Still shaken, she urgently said to the camera, "Master, I'll sneak out of the airport right now!"

"No." Shen Jingshu's tone was firm as she immediately stopped her. "You absolutely cannot leave right now."

Be careful; you're surrounded by members of a gang who have been secretly watching you. If you try to leave now with your luggage, they'll immediately stop and restrain you.

Cream Pudding panicked: "Master, what should I do?"

"You must remain calm. Take your luggage to the meeting point first, then pretend to have a sudden stomachache and need to go to the restroom. I have already contacted the police. You just need to stall for time as much as possible, and the police will arrive soon."

"Okay, I believe you."

Cream Pudding sat in the chair, taking several deep breaths, patting her cheeks to calm herself, and trying her best to suppress the panic in her eyes so as not to give herself away. She picked up her suitcase, still holding her phone, and walked towards where her colleagues were gathered.

As she approached, Sister Li waved to her from afar, signaling her to quickly rejoin the team.

Cream Pudding immediately frowned, feigning severe abdominal pain, and clutched her stomach tightly with one hand. She shoved her suitcase and handbag into Sister Li's hands.

"Sister Li, could you please watch my luggage for me? My stomach is hurting terribly, I need to go to the restroom!"

She casually pulled out a pack of tissues, handed over the backpack containing her passport, plane ticket, and all her other documents, and turned to run towards the restroom.

Standing next to Sister Li, the bald, middle-aged manager, upon seeing this scene, subtly gave Sister Li a warning look.

Sister Li feigned concern: "Xiao Zhang, how about I go with you?"

"No, no, Sister Li, it's really too late!" Cream Pudding hurriedly waved her hand. "My passport and plane ticket are all in my bag, please don't lose them."

With all the witness documents in her hands, Sister Li felt a great sense of relief and clutched her backpack tightly.

"Okay, then hurry back. You need to board the plane soon, so don't be late."

"Don't worry, it'll only take ten minutes!"

Cream Pudding pretended to leave with her phone.

Sister Li called out to her again, "Hey, wait a minute, why are you taking your phone to the bathroom? Give me your phone and I'll keep it for you."

Cream Pudding's heart tightened, and she quickly made an excuse to decline: "Sister Li, no need. We young people can't live without our phones all the time. I can just scroll through some short videos while I'm in the bathroom to pass the time. I'll be right back!"

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

After saying that, she pretended to be in unbearable abdominal pain and hurried towards the bathroom.

Watching the cream pudding disappear into the distance, the bald manager walked up to Sister Li and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Why didn't you go after her and keep an eye on her? What if something went wrong..."

Sister Li maintained her gentle, caring demeanor, but a hint of disdain flashed across her eyes.

"What are you afraid of? We have all her documents. What kind of trouble can she cause? She's about to board the plane. She probably just got an upset stomach from eating too much. Waiting a few minutes won't hurt."

The bald manager asked in a low voice, "How are things going with the others?"

"Don't worry, these are all top-quality fat sheep, in very good condition. Once this order is completed, we'll get a big bonus."

The two exchanged a glance, revealing a greedy smile that only they could understand.

Meanwhile, Cream Pudding rushed into the bathroom, quickly slipped into a stall, and locked the door with a click. After doing all this, her back was soaked with cold sweat, and her whole body was still trembling slightly.

She spoke very quietly into the phone: "Master Shen, what should I do next?"

"Just stay in the cubicle and don't go out. Be patient and wait. The police will be here soon."

Shen Jingshu remained calm. She had just glanced at Cream Pudding's face again, and the heavy black aura that had been shrouding the girl's life palace was slowly dissipating, indicating that this near-death experience was over and she was able to escape danger safely.

The live stream chat exploded at that moment, with countless netizens feeling a chill run down their spines and expressing their feelings.

[This is eye-opening! There's such a scam! They pretend to be a legitimate company recruiting, then lure people across the border for human trafficking. These people are incredibly audacious!]

[I really need to be more careful when looking for a job in the future. High-paying, easy positions might be hiding a huge trap.]

Who would have thought that such a seemingly legitimate company would be involved in such shady dealings? If it weren't for Master Shen, this girl would have been completely ruined.

Aren't they afraid of being caught by the police?

A comment immediately followed with an analysis.

Once overseas, they use the excuse of people getting separated and one or two employees going missing—this seems perfectly normal to outsiders. Even if the families report it to the police afterward, cross-border investigations are extremely difficult. Moreover, after completing one case, they immediately deregister the company, change their name, register a new company in a different city, and continue to defraud people, making it very difficult to trace and arrest them all at once.

The screen was filled with comments expressing lingering fear; everyone was on tenterhooks, quietly waiting for news of the police arriving at the airport.

Looking at the well-organized comments in the live stream, Shen Jingshu secretly agreed.

It must be said that most of her fans in the live broadcast room are rational, clear-headed, and insightful. In just a short time, they thoroughly analyzed the modus operandi and methods of evading investigation of this fraud gang.

The live stream chat was still buzzing with discussion when a hurried female voice suddenly broke the brief silence outside the airport restroom.

It's Sister Li's voice!

She stood at the restroom door, calling out, "Xiao Zhang! Hurry up and come out! Boarding's about to close, what are you dawdling in there for!"

Inside the cubicle, Cream Pudding's heart clenched, her body tensed instantly, and extreme panic swept over her. She covered her mouth tightly, barely daring to breathe, afraid of making the slightest sound and being noticed by the person outside.

Fortunately, she wore Bluetooth headphones the whole time, with the microphone close to her ear, so the outside world couldn't hear the live broadcast at all, perfectly hiding the secret of her connection with Shen Jingshu.

Through the lens, Shen Jingshu could clearly see the girl's pale face and trembling body. She gently comforted her with a calm and steady tone, firmly calming her panicked mind.

To avoid arousing suspicion from Sister Li outside the door, Shen Jingshu calmly reassured her, "Go out now, follow her, don't panic, you'll be fine."

But Cream Pudding couldn't suppress the fear in her heart.

She had seen countless stories about the fates of victims of human trafficking abroad. The girls who were lured abroad were subjected to endless imprisonment, beatings, electric shocks, and humiliation. In severe cases, they were exploited for their value and even murdered or had their organs harvested for profit.

A series of horrifying images flashed through her mind. Her face turned almost transparently white, and her legs went weak.
