Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 816 Human traffickers!
"Aiguo! Are you free tomorrow? I heard from Aiyun that their department store has received a piece of cloth. If you are free tomorrow, please accompany me to the department store. I want to buy some cloth to make clothes for the whole family to wear during the New Year." At around five o'clock in the evening, Wu Aiguo returned home with a briefcase. When Chen Shuying saw Wu Aiguo coming back, she remembered her plan to go to the department store tomorrow, and asked Wu Aiguo.

Facing his mother's request, Wu Aiguo smiled and asked Chen Shuying: "Mom! It's so tiring to cut clothes by yourself. Why don't you just go to the department store and buy ready-made clothes?"

When Chen Shuying heard Wu Aiguo's answer, she rolled her eyes at him and said to him in dissatisfaction, "Aiguo! Are you scared of having too much money? The price of one piece of ready-made clothing is enough to make two sets of clothes. Besides, if we don't use our sewing machine anymore, it will soon become a decoration."

Wu Aiguo heard Chen Shuying's scolding and felt her dissatisfaction, so he could only pretend to be a quail and replied: "Mom! You are the eldest in our family. I will do whatever you say and resolutely obey the instructions of the old Buddha."

"What instructions?" Wu Aiguo's voice had just fallen when Wu Pingshan and Wu Aidang walked into the main room from outside. Wu Pingshan asked with a curious look on his face.

When Wu Aiguo heard his father's question, he smiled and replied, "Dad! My mom plans to buy some fabric to make clothes for the whole family, and asked me to go to the department store with her to buy fabric tomorrow."

When Chen Shuying saw that her husband and eldest son had returned from get off work, she immediately shouted to Wu Aifang who was doing homework in her room, "Aifang! Your father and your eldest brother are back. Go to the backyard and call your sister-in-law to come over for dinner."

Wu Aifang, who was doing homework in the house, heard Chen Shuying's instructions and immediately ran out of the house and ran towards the backyard.

Wu Aiguo walked into his bedroom with his briefcase and saw Liang Jing leaning on the bed feeding her daughter. He smiled and asked Liang Jing, "Xiao Jing! Didn't our little baby bother you today?"

Liang Jing, who was breastfeeding, heard Wu Aiguo's question and thought about her lack of milk. She immediately told Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! When you go to the department store with your mother tomorrow, check if there is any milk powder for sale. I found that my milk supply has obviously decreased a lot in the past two days. I am worried that I may have a problem with insufficient milk."

Wu Aiguo heard Liang Jing's words and learned that Liang Jing's milk supply was insufficient. He immediately said to Liang Jing, "Xiao Jing! I'll go buy some pig's trotters and crucian carp tomorrow and have mom stew them for you to drink. I heard that these things can increase milk supply."

"As for the milk powder, I have asked someone to bring some back from Hong Kong. I estimate that it should be delivered in two or three days."

Liang Jing nodded subconsciously when she heard Wu Aiguo's words, and said to him, "Aiguo! I have been resting at home for more than ten days. I plan to go back to work at the hospital next Monday."

When Wu Aiguo learned that Liang Jing wanted to go to work, he immediately refused, "No way! Xiaojing! Confinement is related to your health, so you must rest at home for a full month before you can go to work at the hospital."

When Wu Aiguo said this, he suddenly thought of something and immediately asked Liang Jing, "Xiao Jing! You asked me to buy milk powder. Aren't you going to work in preparation?"

When Liang Jing heard Wu Aiguo's question, a guilty expression flashed across her face, and she answered, "I'm going to work, what does that have to do with buying milk powder?"

"Aiguo! Xiaojing! It's time for dinner." Liang Jing's voice had just fallen when Chen Shuying's voice came from outside the house.

At around nine o'clock the next morning, Wu Aiguo drove Chen Shuying to the department store.

Because it was a holiday, the department store was packed with people. Chen Shuying led Wu Aiguo to the bicycle counter and smiled as she called out to Wu Aiyun, who was knitting a sweater at the counter: "Aiyun! We're here!"

Wu Aiyun, who was knitting a sweater, immediately looked up when she heard Chen Shuying's call and happily greeted Chen Shuying and Wu Aiguo, "Aunt! Second brother! You are here!"

When Chen Shuying heard Wu Aiyun's words and saw Wu Aiyun with a big belly, she smiled and asked Wu Aiyun, "Aiyun! Do you still have the cloth you asked someone to tell me about yesterday?"

When Wu Aiyun heard what Chen Shuying said, she nodded immediately and said to Chen Shuying with a smile, "Auntie! Please wait a moment. I will find someone to help me for a while, and then I will take you to get the cloth."

Just when Wu Aiyun was looking for someone to cover her shift, a middle-aged woman came in with a little boy of five or six years old in her arms. The boy's head was resting on the woman's shoulder, as if he was asleep.

Wu Aiguo didn't take this scene seriously. When the middle-aged woman passed by him, a familiar smell made Wu Aiguo immediately alert.

When he smelled the strange odor, Wu Aiguo immediately remembered the smell of ether he had smelled in junior high school chemistry class. This meant that the child in the middle-aged woman's arms was not sleeping naturally, but was knocked unconscious by ether.

This discovery made Wu Aiguo immediately realize that the middle-aged woman who had just passed by him with the child in her arms must be a human trafficker, or what the people in the city of Beijing call a "human trafficker."

In his previous life, Wu Aiguo had seen many videos of human traffickers, especially those kidnapped children. In addition to being sold, many kidnapped children were beaten into disabilities by human traffickers and forced to beg on the streets or to cheat. Recalling the videos, those families were broken apart because of the loss of their children. Wu Aiguo hated those human traffickers. Now that he encountered such a thing today, he naturally could not turn a blind eye.

Wu Aiguo looked at the middle-aged woman holding the child and walking out of the department store. He immediately said to Chen Shuying who was standing beside him, "Mom! I have something to do. I'm going to go out for a while. After you buy the cloth, wait for me here at Aiyun."

When Chen Shuying heard Wu Aiguo's words, she showed a puzzled expression on her face and asked Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! Weren't you fine today? Why are you suddenly in trouble again?"

Wu Aiguo heard his mother's question and walked towards the entrance of the department store while answering, "Mom! It will take a while to explain this matter. I will tell you when I come back."

After chasing out of the department store, Wu Aiguo saw a middle-aged woman holding a child, sitting on the back of a man's bicycle and heading away into the distance.

When Wu Aiguo saw this scene, he immediately realized that the human trafficker in front of him was a typical member of a human trafficking gang.

In order to prevent the human traffickers from escaping his sight, Wu Aiguo quickly ran to his jeep, and then drove the jeep to track the human traffickers who had already gone far away.

After Wu Aiguo followed the traffickers in his car for about ten minutes, he saw the traffickers riding bicycles into a small alley.

Seeing this scene, Wu Aiguo immediately parked the car on the side of the road, walked quickly to the alley, looked carefully at the alley in front of him, and then walked into the alley.

Wu Aiguo stood at the corner of the alley and watched two human traffickers carrying the child into a courtyard house. Without any hesitation, they turned around and walked out of the alley.

A few minutes later, Wu Aiguo's car stopped in front of the Public Security Bureau. The security guard saw Wu Aiguo getting out of the car and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Comrade! Who are you looking for?"

When Wu Aiguo heard what the security guard said, he immediately introduced himself to the security guard: "Uncle! I found a human trafficker's den. Who should I report this to?"

When the old man heard what Wu Aiguo had said, he immediately said to him, "Comrade! What did you say? You found a human trafficker's den. Come with me. I'll take you to see Captain Guo!"

As the old man was talking, he led Wu Aiguo to the door of an office and shouted to a police officer in the office: "Xiao Guo! This comrade came to report that he had discovered a human trafficker's den."

During this period, there have been a series of child abduction cases in Kyoto City. Because of the abduction cases, Guo Heping was severely reprimanded by the director and ordered to solve the case within a time limit.

Guo Heping was walking back and forth in the office, thinking about how to solve the case. When he heard the guard's words, he was obviously stunned. He quickly confirmed with the guard: "Uncle Liu! What did you say? Someone came to report that they found the den of human traffickers?"

Wu Aiguo heard what Guo Heping said to the security guard and immediately introduced him to Guo Heping: "Captain Guo! Just now when I was shopping in the department store, I saw a woman holding a boy who had fainted. She hurriedly passed by me."

"I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when the woman passed by me, I smelled the scent of ether, so I kept an eye out and quietly followed the woman. It turned out that the woman had an accomplice who was responsible for the support!"

"Comrade! Where is the human trafficker you mentioned?" After hearing Wu Aiguo's introduction, Guo Heping immediately asked Wu Aiguo impatiently without waiting for Wu Aiguo to finish his words.

When Wu Aiguo heard Guo Heping's question and saw his anxious expression, he quickly introduced Guo Heping, "Captain Guo! After the two traffickers kidnapped the child, they hid in a courtyard house on Guangming Street."

When Guo Heping heard the address Wu Aiguo told him, he immediately opened a cabinet on the wall, took out his gun, walked out of his office quickly, and shouted to the office next door: "Everyone take up your weapons immediately! Let's go to Guangming Street and catch the human traffickers!"

As soon as Guo Heping finished shouting, seven or eight police officers armed with live ammunition ran out of the office next door.

Guo Heping saw his men coming out, and said to Wu Aiguo who was standing beside him with a smile: "Comrade! Please help us lead the way!"

When Wu Aiguo heard what Guo Heping said, he smiled and replied, "Captain Guo! No problem, I'll take you there now."
