Liu Qingsheng held the trafficker with one hand, brushed off the dust on his clothes, and explained: "I was selling food nearby, and suddenly I heard your voice and rushed over. As a retired soldier, when I saw this situation, how could I just sit there and do nothing."

Lin Xiaoxue looked at him easily subduing the traffickers, and she heaved a sigh of relief. "Thanks to your timely appearance, otherwise, I really don't know what to do."

"You are so brave." Liu Qingsheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You have never learned any self-defense skills, but you dare to do something righteous. When you follow the army, let Captain Lu teach you some self-defense skills, so that you can at least protect yourself when you go out."

Lin Xiaoxue bit her lip and said, "Who could have thought that I would encounter such a scene? I didn't think too much about it, but I just couldn't watch a child get hurt."

The onlookers began to talk.

“So they are retired soldiers and their wives!”

"I have to say this military wife is really brave! A weak woman dares to stand up!"

"That damned human trafficker, it's really bad luck to run into them today!"

While everyone was discussing, comrades from the police station led police officers and arrived at the scene in a grand manner.

They quickly handcuffed the woman who was subdued and unable to move on the ground, and expressed their deep gratitude to Liu Qingsheng.

One of the comrades recognized Lin Xiaoxue and said, "Hey! It's Comrade Xiaoxue again! You really made a great contribution this time."

Then, he turned to other colleagues and introduced her: "She has helped us solve several cases before! I must give you an award when I get back."

The police officer then asked the crowd, "Who called the police?"

Zhang Qingqing walked over and said, "It's me."

The police then signaled Zhang Qingqing, Lin Xiaoxue and Liu Qingsheng to go back to the police station with them to take a statement.

At this time, in a small room in the police station, Lin Xiaoxue sat at a wooden table, carefully recounting what had just happened.

The police officer opposite was holding a pen and taking careful notes on paper.

After finishing the recording, Lin Xiaoxue looked up and saw that the woman was being closely monitored by two police officers, with no remorse on her face.

"This guy is really an old hand." The police officer in charge of the case flipped through the documents, "This is not the first time he has done this kind of thing."

Lin Xiaoxue was shocked when she heard this: "Are there any other children?"

"At least three." The police officer replied in a deep voice, "We will do our best to find out if there are any accomplices behind her. We will also find out where the children she abducted were sold to."

After completing the record, the leader of the police station personally handed Lin Xiaoxue the certificate for bravery and a bonus of 100 yuan.

Faced with this honor and money, Lin Xiaoxue shook her head.

"I can't take the money. Helping others is what I should do. As for the certificate, I can keep it as a souvenir."

She took the certificate which symbolized honor and smiled.

Liu Qingsheng and Zhang Qingqing also received the same recognition.

They both declined the bonus and said in unison: "Serving the people is what we should do."

These words aroused warm applause.

The three of them walked out of the police station side by side. It was almost noon and the sun was shining directly on them.

Liu Qingsheng suggested with a smile: "It's almost time for dinner, let's go to my noodle shop to eat something."

Zhang Qingqing waved her hands hastily: "I still have to catch the car!"

Lin Xiaoxue looked at her watch and said, "It's still early. There are many flights in the afternoon."

"Okay then." Zhang Qingqing nodded. She also had some questions about Liu Qingsheng and wanted to find out more.

The three of them walked towards the noodle shop.

The sun was bright and warm when we entered the noodle shop.

The store was packed and bustling.

Lin Xiaoxue looked around and found that the store was much larger than she remembered.

The originally small and single space now connects the two shops on the left and right, becoming a spacious and bright hall.

There is a glass counter in the corner, with the beautifully packaged foods made by the Lu family factory neatly arranged inside: canned food, biscuits, preserved eggs, etc.

Each product shines brightly and attractively against the light.

No wonder she found that Liu Qingsheng's orders had increased a lot when she checked the orders yesterday. She didn't expect that the secret was here.

Well, she now has a new sales general.

Her eyes continued to wander around the noodle shop and noticed two new faces who were busy serving customers.

Seeing this, Liu Qingsheng smiled and explained, "Since the suggestions you gave me last time, business has been booming. There is no room for people to sit in the store, so I rented the store next door to expand."

He pointed to the two busy women beside him and introduced them, "These are my mother and my younger sister. My husband and I are too busy to handle everything, so we called them over from our hometown to help."

"That's good." Lin Xiaoxue nodded: "Brother Liu has become big now. He can register a trademark and open a chain in the future."

Liu Qingsheng nodded: "Okay."

At this time, the busy mother Liu noticed Lin Xiaoxue and knew that she was the Liu family's benefactor, so she walked over excitedly and knelt down to thank her.

"Thanks to you for giving our family the advice! Otherwise, this child would work hard every day and still not earn much money." Mother Liu had tears in her eyes and her voice choked with sobs.

"Aunt, what are you doing? Get up!" Lin Xiaoxue quickly helped her up and said calmly, "It's our duty to help each other."

Liu's mother was filled with emotion: "I wanted to come to your house and thank you very much. But after going to your house several times, you were told that you were visiting your relatives in the army."

"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Xiaoxue comforted: "We are all friends. In fact, I want to thank Brother Liu the most today! He just saved my life."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qingsheng's wife, who was busy in the kitchen, ran out immediately after hearing the words: "What's going on? What happened?"

The worry on his face was evident.

Without waiting for Lin Xiaoxue to speak, Zhang Qingqing did not hesitate at all and described in vivid detail the dangerous situation they encountered today.

"It's so dangerous!" The Liu family's daughter-in-law's tone revealed an irrepressible nervousness.

Zhang Qingqing immediately agreed: "That's right, my face turned pale as paper at that time. If it weren't for Brother Liu's heroic rescue...if Xiaoxue had been in trouble, I don't know what I would have done."

After listening to the story, Liu's mother looked at her son deeply, patted him on the shoulder and praised him: "Well done!"

Then he turned to everyone and told them that a similar tragedy had once happened in the village.

"There was a girl in our village who met a man and then disappeared. It was said that she was trafficked to another province..."

Her eyes dimmed. “If I could meet someone like you who is brave enough to help me… maybe my fate would be different.”

After a short pause, she continued, "Although the person behind her was found, the child had already been born, and the girl became mentally confused after such a great shock..."

Finally, the old mother said in a trembling voice: "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

She greeted Lin Xiaoxue warmly: "Please sit down. I will go and make you something delicious!"
