Chapter 60 -060: Thrilling, Saving the Child
Just as the man passed by Bai Ruozhu and her mother, Bai Ruozhu saw something moving in the sack and heard a whimpering sound.
She widened her eyes in alarm – the sound seemed to be coming from a child who had its mouth covered!
Bai Ruozhu hurriedly looked at her mother whose face had also turned peculiar, as if she had heard the same sound!
“Mother, what’s that man carrying?
A kidnapped child?” Bai Ruozhu questioned anxiously, one hand resting on her large belly and the other tightly gripping her mother’s arm.
Lin Ping’er seemed afraid, her voice trembling, as she stammered, “I, I fear… it really could be some child kidnapped by human traffickers.”
Bai Ruozhu immediately said sharply, “No, that’s unacceptable.
We can’t let him take the child.
We must attract attention quickly.”
Perhaps it was because she was soon to be a mother herself, Bai Ruozhu could relate more painfully to the distress of a child being snatched away.
She didn’t spare any thoughts and only had one overall idea – she couldn’t let the traffickers take the child away, and she couldn’t let the child be separated from its parents!
Lin Ping’er instinctively tried to hold her daughter back.
But before she could discourage her, Bai Ruozhu cried out loudly, “There’s a child trafficker here who’s kidnapped someone’s child!
Someone please save the child!”
She didn’t even know where she drew the strength from.
Her voice was shrill, especially the final note which carried an unusual penetrating power.
But she didn’t have time to ponder that now, it was only when recalling the event later that she realized it.
Her cry immediately attracted the attention of many people on the street.
But before anyone could react, Bai Ruozhu herself dashed after the man holding the sack.
Her mother, close-by, wasn’t even able to hold her back.
The human trafficker, stunned by Bai Ruozhu’s yell, halted and turned to look back.
Seeing a heavily pregnant woman charging in his direction, he grew angry.
“Meddling wench, it’s none of your business!” The man carrying the sack suddenly changed his direction and stormed towards Bai Ruozhu.
By the time Bai Ruozhu was able to react, she clutched her stomach tightly and awkwardly retreated.
But, being a heavy pregnant woman, how could she match the speed of a grown man?
In the blink of an eye, the trafficker had already reached Bai Ruozhu while Lin Ping’er was still some distance behind.
She could only watch in horror as the situation quickly changed but was too far away to help.
Bai Ruozhu screamed in fear.
She was really terrified, worried that her unborn child might get hurt.
She regretted her rashness.
Even when rescuing people, one should measure their own capabilities.
But all she could think about at that time was the tragic fate of the kidnapped child, making her body involuntarily rush forward.
Seeing the vicious trafficker rushing towards her daughter, Lin Ping’er’s legs went weak.
She reached out her hand towards them, but they were five to six meters ahead, far from her reach.
Some passerby also noticed the situation and ran over.
Nevertheless, they were further behind Lin Ping’er and there was no chance they could prevent anything from happening.
Bai Ruozhu instinctively closed her eyes.
However, the expected pain did not come.
Instead, there was a thud, followed by the groan of the trafficker.
She opened her eyes and saw a tall man dressed in dark clothes standing in front of her.
The human trafficker lay on the ground, seemingly severely injured, holding his chest and groaning.
The man in dark clothes was very tall.
Bai Ruozhu had to look up to see the back of his head.
But when did he appear?
How did she not notice him at all?
Could he be one of the legendary Lightness Skill masters?
From the back, she could see a rope tied at the back of his head, vaguely making out the side profile of his mask, which was also black.
Beneath the man’s bent arm was the sack he had snatched from the trafficker.
He grunted coldly and opened the sack.
A disheveled little girl emerged, crying with a torn piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth.
The man removed the rag from her mouth and the girl immediately burst into louder sobs.
“Mom, mom, where are you?
Rongrong is so scared!” The terrified girl, looking about five or six years old, cried out loudly, causing the man to move his head slightly away, seemingly unable to bear the loud cries.
He gently set the girl on the ground and reassured her in a softer tone, “It’s alright now, I will get the officers to find your family.”
Bai Ruozhu froze.
She had found the man’s earlier grunt familiar but didn’t have time to think about it.
But now, hearing him speak and seeing the side of his face as he crouched down to comfort the girl, she recognized him as the strange man who once teased her.
No, this man saved her life and rescued the kidnapped child.
Moreover, he had taken down the trafficker in one swift move.
In her eyes, his image immediately grew and was restored to the status of a saint.
But this man was dressed in dark clothes and had a cold expression on his face.
His voice was also quite cold, and the mask he wore was unusual.
With his decisive and ruthless actions, he resembled a law enforcer or perhaps a judge from the Underworld.
Lin Ping’er had caught up and supporting Bai Ruozhu, she asked nervously, “Ruozhu, are you alright?”
Bai Ruozhu returned to reality.
Seeing her mother’s worried expression, she couldn’t help feeling extremely guilty.
Her rash decision had not only endangered her child but also scared her mother.
Had she become more immature?
“Mother, I’m fine,” Bai Ruozhu said, feeling a deep sense of remorse.
“That’s good, that’s good,” Finding relief in her daughter’s assurance, Lin Ping’er clenched her hands in prayer.
She then turned to the man comforting the crying girl, Yichun, and thanked him gratefully, bowing in respect, “Thank you, brave man, for saving my daughter.
May we have your name?
We would certainly like to express our gratitude properly in future.”
A brave man…
The corner of Bai Ruozhu’s mouth twitched.
Although he was indeed very capable, the man was lean and tall.
The attribution ‘strong’ didn’t seem to fit him quite right.
Yichun did not even look at Lin Ping’er, and instead turned to pick up the human trafficker from the ground.
Without looking back, he said, “This was an act of benevolence, don’t bother to remember it.”
Lin Ping’er watched Jiang Yichun’s receding figure somewhat perplexed.
Bai Ruozhu walked over and took her mother’s arm, saying, “Maybe he’s not at liberty to say.
We shouldn’t push.”
Lin Ping’er nodded, thinking the man must have had his reasons for hiding his identity since he was wearing a mask.
Just then, the officers hurried in.
Surprisingly, Officer Li Shunsheng was leading the team.
Upon seeing Yichun, Li first looked startled.
But he quickly concealed his surprise, bowed towards Yichun and said, “Thank you.”
Jiang Yichun responded with a faint hum, his demeanor not particularly friendly towards Li Shunsheng, then said coldly, “Interrogate this man thoroughly and try to uncover all the connections behind him.”
Li Shunsheng’s eyes lit up with understanding.
Yichun’s intention was clear – this trafficker was part of an organized group.
If Li could nab the entire group then a promotion could be just around the corner!
