Chapter 842: Selling Children

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In a moment of panic, the words ‘child traffickers’ flashed through Su Bing’s mind.

His eyes darted around, searching for Gu Zi, only to find her already collapsed in Yang Zhen’s arms, her face ashen. She had barely managed to keep herself from fainting.

Su Bing rushed over to assist Yang Zhen in supporting her, pulling his sister close. The crowd around them, moved by the scene, began to gather.

“Stay strong, miss,” they urged, “You should call the police immediately.”

Supported by the two men, Gu Zi managed to steady herself, though her voice still trembled as she spoke. “Don’t worry, I can handle this. We need to call the police. Is there a public phone nearby?”

The disappearance of the child was not a plot point in the original book, but she knew that Su Li lived through the later parts of the story, so she knew that everything should be fine. However, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread.

If the child had indeed been taken by traffickers, the outcome would undoubtedly be grim. How could she not worry?

A man stepped forward to inform Gu Zi, “There’s a public phone not far from here, at the convenience store. You should hurry. We’ll help look for the three children. Hopefully, it’s just a false alarm.”

With that, the crowd dispersed, many venturing into the nearby woods to aid in the search.

Gu Zi and Yang Zhen headed towards the convenience store to call the police.

Afterward, Gu Zi sent Su Bing and Su Le home, making a detour to inform the Gao family. Gao Ming was also missing, and they had to be notified.

Grandma Gao nearly fainted upon hearing the news, but Grandpa Gao reacted quickly. “Damn those traffickers! We must eradicate them completely this time!”

Grandpa Gao immediately dialed a number.

Gu Zi listened from the side, realizing he was calling the military. This was good news. With the military’s help, their chances of finding the children greatly increased.

Brother Gua tossed his beer bottle out the window and chuckled, “You’re clearly a newbie. After a few more jobs, you’ll calm down. It’s not that easy for them to catch us. Do you think I’ve managed to sell children for so long because I’m a pushover?”

Xie Chang, afraid of angering Brother Gua, quickly reassured him, “My wife is just being a worrywart, Brother Gua. You’re not going to let them catch us, right?”

Xie Chang’s flattery made Brother Gua beam with delight.

Just then, a childish voice filled with confusion rang out, “Teacher Zhou, why are we in your car?”

Zhou Hua stiffened with fear, not daring to respond. Xie Chang also broke out in a cold sweat. Although they were not good people, this was their first time selling children, and their nervousness was inevitable.

The man driving the car, however, was much more composed. He glanced back and growled menacingly, “Shut up, or don’t blame me for giving you a beating.”

Su Li quickly covered his mouth, and Gao Ming, the boy next to him, also woke up. The two boys locked eyes, their expressions filled with fear and confusion.
