"Hiss~My head." Liu Zhizhi woke up.

"Zhizhi, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?" Ye Ziyu walked to the bedside.

"Ayu, are you okay?" Liu Zhizhi shook her head vigorously, "I feel a little dizzy."

"I'm fine. Do you feel anything other than dizziness?"

"No, what happened? I remember you suddenly fainted just now, and then I seemed to faint too?" Liu Zhizhi was not sure.

"Yes, those people just now were human traffickers. They wanted to knock us out and send us away, but they failed."

"Ah? Human traffickers?" Liu Zhizhi was confused. "What do you mean by failed?"

"If you didn't succeed, then you didn't succeed. If you succeeded, why would you still be here?" Ling Bingqing said.

"Who is this girl?" Liu Zhizhi asked puzzledly.

"This is Ling Bingqing, Aqing, she is also my friend." Ye Ziyu introduced the two people, "Aqing, this is Liu Zhizhi."

"Hello, Miss Ling."

"Since you are Ayu's friend, you are also my friend. Just call me Aqing."

Liu Zhizhi smiled slightly, "Ayu, so what happened just now? You didn't faint, right?" Liu Zhizhi asked Ye Ziyu.

"Well, I didn't notice it at first, but when I followed Tie Erniu here, I felt something was wrong."

"Something's wrong? What's wrong? Tie Erniu's words don't sound wrong."

"The problem is not Tie Erniu, but that woman. First of all, Tie Erniu said that the woman had a broken brain and ran away by herself, but her home is far away from where we met. Then there is that woman. She followed you very quietly all the way back. You don't know her. She is afraid of people she has lived with for so long, but she trusts you, a stranger, so well? And when she returned home, she didn't make a fuss, but wanted to pull you into the house. If she really ran away by herself, she would only want to run away when she returns to the place where she ran away again." Ye Ziyu expressed her doubts. At first, she really thought that Liu Zhizhi comforted the woman, but her performance along the way made her alert.

"Then why did you go in when they asked us to?"

"Because if we don't go in, they have other ways to get us in. The woman held you the whole time. I think if we want to leave, the woman will stick to you. They will ask us to come in by saying they hope we can help them get the woman into the house first. Since we have to go in anyway, I might as well go in by myself."

"Then how did he knock us out?"

"Water, there's something wrong with that glass of water."

"Didn't you drink water too?"

"I didn't drink it, and Aqing didn't drink it when he found out something was wrong."

"Actually, Yu, if you had reminded us that there was something wrong with this water, we wouldn't have drunk it either."

Ye Ziyu shook her head. "You guys are not in danger of death for now. I was not sure if he had other helpers. If I told you that they had other helpers, our situation would be very dangerous. I woke up only after I was sure that he had no helpers."

"Oh~" Liu Zhizhi nodded.

"Drink some more water. If you're not feeling unwell, I'll take you home and we'll go shopping again another day." Ye Ziyu poured another glass of water for Liu Zhizhi.

"Hmm." Liu Zhizhi took the water and started drinking.

All the people who fainted have woken up. After the doctor checked their pulses one by one and made sure they were fine, Ye Ziyu asked Yifeng to send the doctor back, and then they got up and sent Liu Zhizhi back home first.

"Go back and have a good rest. If you feel any discomfort, remember to see a doctor immediately."

"Yeah, don't worry. I'll come to see you another day." Liu Zhizhi nodded.

"Your name is... Linglong, right? Serve your young lady well. If anything is wrong, remember to call a doctor in time." Ye Ziyu said to Linglong.

"Yes." Linglong responded reluctantly, then turned her head to the other side, 'Who are you to control me?'

"What's wrong with you, the maid?" Ling Bingqing was about to go up and talk to the maid, but Ye Ziyu held her down and shook her head, then turned to Liu Zhizhi and said, "Zhizhi, remember what I told you."

Liu Zhizhi glanced at Linglong and nodded.

After sending Liu Zhizhi back, Ling Bingqing insisted on sending Ye Ziyu back home first. Ye Ziyu had no choice but to agree.

"Ayu, I've always wanted to ask you, when did Yifeng go to the government? Didn't you find out something was wrong when you got there? If Yifeng had gone to the government at that time, it wouldn't have been that fast."

"Emmm...how should I put it? Actually, at the beginning, I did think that Tie Erniu and the old lady next to him were the human traffickers who kidnapped the woman and the child. So when I went upstairs to check the situation, I asked Yifeng to report to the police. But I didn't expect that their information would match. At that time, I thought I was wrong and was ready to apologize to the officials." Ye Ziyu smiled embarrassedly. She thought of that routine but didn't expect it to be another routine.

"But later you still found something wrong, but we were so far away from that place, how did Yifeng find it?"

"On the way back, I encountered a similar thing. I value my life, and Yifeng is also worried about the safety of my master, so we thought of a mark that would not be easily noticed, and he could find me through that mark."

"Oh, that's great. Hey, Ayu, how about we set a mark for the two of us, so that if something happens to me or you in the future, we can find each other through the mark." Ling Bingqing suggested.

"Okay, let's do this..." Ye Ziyu and Ling Bingqing set a mark that was unique to them.

"Luckily nothing happened today." Li Qiu helped Ye Ziyu take off her headdress. "Miss, from now on, we should just watch the fun and stop meddling in other people's business. If Yifeng hadn't arrived in time today, we don't know what the consequences would have been."

"But if that woman really didn't know the couple, and everyone just stood there and watched without helping, then that woman and the child would be so desperate and miserable, don't you think?" Ye Ziyu wiped her face with a handkerchief.

"Well, that's true. Miss, why are you so unlucky? You have encountered human traffickers three times. Fortunately, you were safe in the end twice." Li Qiu was combing Ye Ziyu's hair.

"But what you said is true. But I remember hearing that, apart from the capital, there have been many missing cases in various places. All the victims were girls, not children or women." Ye Ziyu thought. According to modern standards, the probability of children being abducted is generally higher than that of girls, but it seems that all the abduction cases here involved girls between the ages of 13 and 16.

"But we can't control the investigation, so we should pay more attention to our own safety." Ye Ziyu said, "In the future, when you go out to buy things, go out in groups and try to go out during the day."

"Uh-huh."
