Chapter 229: Misfortunate Big Sister 44
Two and a half hours later, the train stopped at Ji City Station.
The Flying Device hovered above the train, and Yuan Chun’s spiritual power suggested subtly pierced into the couple’s minds. Their expressions froze slightly, then they held Tangtang and followed the crowd off the train.
"Da Niu, Da Niu’s wife, where are you going? We haven’t reached our stop yet, Da Niu..." A granny chased after them and grabbed the woman’s arm, "Da Niu’s wife, where are you two headed? This isn’t our stop, you..."
The granny suddenly turned her tone, "Quick, let’s get out of the station. There are so many people; don’t get lost."
"Boss, why did Da Niu and his wife get off the train? They’ve still got the kid. What do we do now?" The remaining accomplices on the train exchanged glances.
"Let’s go; we should get off too. Da Niu and his wife want to pocket the money themselves, no way."
"Right, we should get off too. That woman was generous; I saw her give Da Niu a thick wad of ten yuan bills, at least four or five hundred bucks."
"Let’s go, let’s split the money."
"Shh, keep it down."
A group of about ten people squeezed off the train and quickly caught up with Da Niu and the others.
"Da Niu, where are you headed?" someone said displeased, "Didn’t that woman say to sell the kid as far as possible? She specifically told us to sell the kid to a remote, impoverished village in the Northwest as a child bride."
"Yeah, Da Niu, Ji City is so close to Beijing. What if that woman finds out we sold the kid nearby? How will we deal with the trouble she might cause us? That woman is influential and powerful, not someone we can afford to mess with."
"Da Niu, I’m talking to you. Have you gone mute?"
"Da Niu..."
The human traffickers’ leader, seeing Da Niu ignoring them, got a bit angry and reached to drag him, just as they arrived at the exit, where someone was checking tickets.
The traffickers all had tickets; they just got off the train early.
The leader smiled warmly at the station staff, "Comrade, sorry, we’re all from the same village. We bought tickets to the wrong place and can’t change them now. Fortunately, we bought tickets for a few extra stops, so we didn’t take advantage of anyone."
"Comrade, can we get a refund for the extra stops we didn’t use?" someone asked.
The train station staff, after giving them a suspicious glance, let them head to the office to deal with the ticket refund issue.
The leader bowed and smiled, "Thank you, comrade."
However, they were traffickers, guilty at heart, so they didn’t actually seek a refund from the station.
"Da Niu, you fool, I’m talking to you. Have you gone mute?"
After leaving the station, the group followed Da Niu to a secluded spot. The leader couldn’t resist any longer, stepped forward, and grabbed Da Niu’s collar, "Tell me, are you trying to pocket the money yourself?"
"Da Niu, that’s not right. We’re in this together, the money should be shared. You and your wife can’t just take it all."
"Right, you two can’t break our code."
"Speak reasonably, Wang Zai, let go. Your brother Da Niu isn’t that kind of person," the only granny in the gang came over to pry the boss’s hand, "Wang Zai, we’re all from the same village and it’s hard to work in this field. We can’t have internal strife."
