In the next few days, Jiang Baige and Song Siwen basically ran between the hospital and the county bureau.

Zhuang Yao is in good physical condition. Although she was a little dehydrated when she first arrived, she recovered and was full of energy in just a few days.

The scars on her face are also healing.

Although the doctor checked and said that it was unlikely to leave scars, he also said that this was a small hospital after all, and that maybe in a big city like Anjing there would be a good plastic surgery department, which could at least do repairs and not affect daily life.

On the contrary, Zhuang Yao herself has the best attitude. She always says that she is lucky enough to survive and rescue Xiaomi.

Sometimes Jiang Baige really wants to ask, are all those who work in journalism so optimistic?

A few days ago, when Jiang Baige and Song Siwen left the hotel, Zhuang Yao also began to take action: based on the blind spots of the cameras provided by Song Siwen, she collected clues in the hotel.

She finally figured out the secret in the hotel and was planning to take pictures of the evidence and retreat in time, but she happened to meet Erzhu's father who came to bargain with the human traffickers.

The trafficker felt that Erzhu's father was having too much trouble, and was also afraid that Erzhu's father would be dissatisfied and go around talking nonsense, or perhaps he had some other concerns. In short, he did not refuse outright, but instead thought of a "compromise" solution: send Zhuang Yao, who had a scar on her face, over.

Just like the wilted green leafy vegetables and bruised fruits in the market, they can’t be sold at a good price, but they don’t affect the taste.

Although women with scars on their faces are not good-looking, they can still have children.

When she was taken to the tunnel in Wangnan Village, Zhuang Yao was really a little panicked.

It was dark there, and the phone was hidden in the hotel to leave clues. She had no idea where she was, and had no contact with the outside world, which was worse than being in the hotel.

Several girls who were kidnapped together were almost all unconscious and drowsy.

Probably because she was captured temporarily, her condition was better than theirs. At least she had enough food in the first few days, and except for the moment when she was knocked unconscious, she was not fed any strange "medicine".

However, she overheard that the traffickers said that they would be sent to different families in batches according to their requirements the next day.

At that time, she didn't know that she and Xiaomi would be locked up in the basement of the same family...

Jiang Baige simply couldn't imagine that in the previous life, Zhuang Yao was imprisoned for finding Xiaomi, and when they met again, they were imprisoned in the same place. Xiaomi had even fallen into a coma and was soon taken away.

How desperate she must be...

Could it be that this was why she finally gave up on escaping and succumbed to her fate?

Fortunately, in this life, they have changed that ending.

Compared with Zhuang Yao, who was arrested for a short time and is stronger, Xiaomi's recovery was slower. After rescuing her, the county bureau immediately notified her family, who rushed to the hospital at noon the next day.

Looking at Xiaomi who had not yet fully awakened, they were so heartbroken that they could hardly speak, but there seemed to be a hint of relief on their faces: at least she was still alive.

With the care and company of her family, Xiaomi's condition has improved a lot.

When Xiaomi's family learned that Zhuang Yao had suffered so much to save Xiaomi, they would always buy an extra portion of food for Zhuang Yao whenever they bought food for Xiaomi.

Zhuang Yao always jokes that first she had nothing to eat, and now she eats too much. With this back and forth, her abdominal muscles are finally saying goodbye to her forever.

Although she was optimistic, Xiaomi's mother was still very sad when she saw the scars on her face. She kept telling Zhuang Yao that if she needed money for treatment in the future, she must tell them. She even secretly asked Jiang Baige and others for Zhuang Yao's bank card number so that she could secretly transfer money into it.

Seeing Zhuang Yao and Xiaomi's bodies gradually recovering, Jiang Baige intuitively felt what the saying "being loved will make people grow flesh and blood" meant.

Shu Xiu recovered the fastest - the quality of the police was better after all, and Zhuang Yao couldn't help showing an envious expression.

Although Shu Xiu cannot return to work immediately, because she has been "missing" for too long, she needs to submit materials and be re-approved. She may also need to take the physical fitness test again to confirm that she is in good health before she can resume her job.

But she was a key witness in solving this major trafficking case, and she has been cooperating with the county bureau since she was discharged from the hospital.

When she has nothing to do, she will go back to the hospital to see Zhuang Yao, Xiaomi and the others. Song Siwen also found time to interview her several times.

Every time they met, she would ask Song Siwen about the things that Aunt An asked her to do for help.

The day after the arrest, Aunt An was only criticized and educated, and not detained, because she was not involved in any criminal offense and there was no substantial purchase of human beings.

Since then she has been taking care of Shuxiu in the hospital.

After Shu Xiu was discharged from the hospital, the two of them rented a house near the county bureau together - although they were two of them, the rent was of course paid by Shu Xiu.

Since they lived together, she certainly knew what An Zhen cared about most.

"What was the reaction to the video you made for Auntie An?"

"Before recording the video, we bought Auntie An a cheap mobile phone and left her phone number at the beginning and end of the video, as well as in the comment section. But now a few days have passed, and although some people have provided clues, there is still no news about her daughter."

Shu Xiu sighed: "I also asked Sister Ji to submit her application for the missing person search, but I don't know if it will be successful... After all, it has been so many years, and I don't know if her daughter is still willing..."

Although it sounds cruel, after some married women are trafficked, their original families may regard this incident as a shame and no longer want to mention it.

They didn't want Aunt An to suffer this blow again, but no one could guarantee such a thing.

"But don't worry, even if we go back, we will continue to follow up on this matter. Bai Ge also has a public account, and he will also post a missing person notice for Aunt An when the time comes."

At this point, Shu Xiu asked again: "When do you plan to go back?"

"Sister Ji just called..." As the two were talking, Jiang Baige walked in from outside, "She asked us to go to the police station this afternoon. I said you were here too, and she asked you to go there too."

"Me? Sure."

Shu Xiu and Song Siwen had just finished talking, so the three of them decided to have lunch together and head to the police station.

"Did Sister Ji say what it was?"

Jiang Baige took two mouthfuls of fried rice - in order to make it convenient to go to the hospital and the county bureau, she and Song Siwen took a midway point between the two and found a guesthouse, and finally lived a normal life.

I even discovered this little treasure shop, which makes excellent fried rice and fried noodles. Seeing that they were from other places, I always gave them two extra bowls of the heat-clearing tea I made at home.

Now Jiang Baige feels uncomfortable if she doesn’t go to the restaurant to have a meal every day.

"She said she wanted us to go over and recognize someone."

"Haven't you already admitted it?" Shu Xiu was puzzled.

Identifying people is a preliminary task. If no new suspect is caught, there is no need for repeated confirmation.

"You still remember that Wangnan Village might be a transit point for human traffickers, right?" Seeing Shu Xiu nod, Jiang Baige continued, "Maybe we have found that person."
