"Of course not!" Ms Fang was very certain that her dodging attitude was different from before.

Qiao Xuan's heart was finally at ease, seeing that there was nothing that could be obtained from Ms Fang, the two exchanged greetings for a while, then Qiao Xuan left.

After leaving Ms Fang's house, it was hard to tell if Qiao Xuan was disappointed or relieved. Although she did not ask for anything during the trip, she had at least dispelled her last bit of suspicions.

Qiao Xuan walked along the side of the street. After walking a long distance, he realized that he had arrived at a completely unfamiliar path.

She stood in place, looked around, and knew that it was impossible to catch a taxi here, then walked forward again. In the meantime, she opened her phone only to see that her parents and Sheng Liang had called her so many times.

Just as she was about to call them back, Sheng Liang called again. She immediately picked up the call, but before she could say anything, she heard Sheng Liang's nervous voice: "Where are you?"

Qiao Xuan knew that she had shut him down and made him worry, so he said lightly: "Sorry, I didn't tell you. I came to the forest because I have something to do, I'll be back very soon."

"I want to ask you where in the forest," Sheng Liang said in a slightly calmer tone, "Which road or street?"

Qiao Xuan's footsteps suddenly stopped. "You … You came to the forest too? "

Sheng Liang declined to comment. He had been calling her ever since he entered the city, and only then did he regret it, and not return the phone to Sheng Qian. He was too anxious, and thought that he could find her after knowing that she was in the forest.

Qiao Xuan looked at the road sign on the side and told Sheng Liang her location. Then, he heard Sheng Liang saying, "Stay there and don't move, I'll be there shortly."

She was standing next to the overpass when she heard a cry and turned to see a little beggar kneeling on the ground, wailing and shaking the cardboard box in his hand. There was not much change in it.

At that time, it was already noon. There were very few people passing by, and when Qiao Xuan saw a man who passed by and threw money into the little beggar's box, she subconsciously took out her wallet.

Qiao Xuan walked over, bent down, and placed a hundred dollar bill into the little beggar's cardboard box. The little beggar raised his head and looked at her, and only then did Qiao Xuan realize that half of the child's face was covered with burns, and it should be a new injury.

She couldn't help but frown, because the child was too young, perhaps five or six years old.

It wasn't that she hadn't seen the news, but she knew that many of these beggars were actually children stolen by traffickers. They had deliberately injured them and sent them to places with large numbers of people to ask for money.

Although she didn't want to encourage them, if she didn't give them the money, this child wouldn't be able to complete his mission and would be beaten up when he returned. Qiao Xuan knew that she wouldn't change anything, but he still asked softly: "Where's your parents, do you need my help?"

If he did, she could at least help him call the police.

Ever since she lost that child, she had been unable to bear to see such things ever since.

The child just looked at her with a dull gaze. Then, he suddenly grabbed her hand.

Qiao Xuan thought that the child wanted her to save him and bring him away, but when she straightened her body and tried to pull him up, the child was still holding onto her tightly.

Qiao Xuan was stunned, then she saw that two men were approaching her. She turned her head, and there were also people behind her blocking their way.

She looked down at the child who was still tugging at her and realized that he didn't want her to go. He wanted them to catch her.

This realization pained Qiao Xuan. This child had obviously been brainwashed by these people, or maybe he was scared.

Qiao Xuan was very clear about her current situation. If she were to be captured by these people, it would be unknown where she would be sold to, so she wanted to delay time as much as possible. Sheng Liang should be arriving soon.

Seeing someone walk past her, she was just about to shout, but one of the men directly slapped her, glared and roared: "You scalded your son to such a state, I didn't even scold you. Instead, you took your child and ran away from the hospital, and even told your son to beg for food here, this is how you act as a mother!"

Qiao Xuan was stunned, and when he heard the man's words, he was really shocked. When he said it like that, everyone thought it was a family conflict, even if they took her away, no one would stop them!

"I don't know you, and I don't know this child!" Qiao Xuan knew that it was useless, but she still tried to explain, hoping that someone would understand that this was a trap.

However, the child hugged her and cried, "Mom, let's go back."

The other men also pretended to persuade her, "Sister-in-law knows she's in the wrong. It's alright now, let's go home."

Seeing these people coming and pulling on her, Qiao Xuan wanted to resist, but her two hands were grabbed tightly, making her unable to move at all. In the chaos, it seemed that something had stabbed at her and then she quickly lost consciousness.

Seeing her body soften, the man who pretended to be her husband immediately picked her up and put her in a car by the side of the road, taking the child with him.

Just as they were leaving, Sheng Liang came along. He stopped his car, walked to the place Qiao Xuan was talking about, but he did not see her. He took out his phone and called her, and after ringing for a while, he suddenly hung up.

"What happened? Who called the police?" asked two men in police uniforms as they walked to the center of the circle.

Someone immediately raised his hand, "I'm the one who reported it. There were a few men who took a girl away and said that the girl was the wife of a man. Then I thought about it, it should be fake.

When Sheng Liang heard their voices, he immediately walked over and took out his phone to ask the person calling the police: "The girl you're talking about, is she?"

The man looked at Sheng Liang's screen and immediately nodded: That's right, it's her.

Sure enough, Qiao Xuan had met a trafficker.

Sheng Liang asked again: "Which way did they go?"

The man pointed in a direction. Sheng Liang quickly returned to the car and drove in that direction.

While he was driving, he checked the map, checking out the large nightclubs and clubs in the forest. He knew that to these professional traffickers, if they only sold Qiao Xuan to the deep mountains, it wouldn't be worth much, they would definitely sell her to a place like a nightclub.

It didn't have many high-end clubs. Sheng Liang followed this route, locking onto one of the cities, then increased his pace, but at a bend in the road, he bumped into a car that suddenly rushed out from the side.
