Chapter 70: Chapter 69 But was this all just a dream of hers?

At that moment, Qin Yize reached out to pull her back, pressing her into the seat, then said to the trafficker, “There’s no need to be so tense, I won’t let her disturb your daughter.”

Gu Qiaoqiao was desperate.

But on this train, apart from her, who would suspect this man was a human trafficker, and that this woman was not his daughter but someone he was about to sell?

Gu Qiaoqiao hesitated no longer, suddenly pulling Qin Yize close and whispering in his ear, “That man must be a trafficker, the girl has a strange smell on her, it’s probably a hallucinogen drug.”

Qin Yize had no time to avoid the itch at his ear, startled by Gu Qiaoqiao’s words, he also lowered his voice, “Do you have any evidence?”

“No,” Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes flashed with a cold light, “If he gets off at the next station, it’ll be too late.”

...

The two of them looked somewhat like a couple whispering secrets to each other.

The man handsome, the woman pretty, it was a pleasing sight no matter how one looked at it.

The trafficker quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Yize’s posture remained unchanged, but his mind was spinning rapidly.

If this was true, it would be troublesome, the next station was approaching quickly, and if the woman didn’t wake up, it would be impossible to prove their relationship.

But he too sensed something amiss here.

Therefore, he wouldn’t let them get off the train.

Yet, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly leaned in close to his ear again, “I’ll go take off the woman’s mask, you block the trafficker.”

As she spoke, she stood up again and seemed to lose her balance for a moment, lunging towards the still unconscious woman.

The trafficker was on high alert at all times, his movements quick, as he bent down to hold the woman and was about to shout out loud.

A sharp gust of wind struck, and Qin Yize firmly choked the trafficker’s throat, exerting force, he threw the trafficker into the aisle.

Gu Qiaoqiao ripped off the woman’s mask in one go, her eyes suddenly widening, the woman’s mouth was sealed with layers of tape.

Just like her in her previous life.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s trembling hand pointed at the fallen trafficker, shouting loudly, “He’s a human trafficker, this woman is not his daughter.”

The carriage suddenly erupted as if a pot had exploded.

Unwilling to give in, the trafficker cried out, “That is my daughter, you’re the traffickers, if you dare to touch my daughter, I’ll lay down my old life and will never let you harm my daughter.”

Gu Qiaoqiao slowly peeled off the tape from the woman’s mouth, then shook her, urgently saying, “Quick, wake up, there’s a bad person trying to harm you, wake up…”

Regrettably, just like in her past life, the woman’s eyes remained tightly closed, showing no signs of waking up.

And at this time, the train’s announcement sounded, there were ten minutes until the station.

Gu Qiaoqiao pointed at the trafficker, scolding harshly, “Shut up, you heartless trafficker, what kind of father seals his daughter’s mouth with tape?”

Then Gu Qiaoqiao shouted, “Is there a doctor in the carriage, come and help check, see if this lady has been drugged with a hallucinogen…”

Although Qin Yize could confirm whether she was drugged, now was not the time, she needed everyone’s support and attention.

Unfortunately, the carriage was in disarray, yet no one stood up.

Qin Yize was almost certain something was wrong, he stepped on the trafficker’s chest, “Tell me, is that woman your daughter?”

“Yes, she’s my daughter…”

“Where are you getting off?”

“This station, I’m getting off right away.”

“Okay, I’ll get off the train with you, and we’ll go to the police station in front of the station. If it’s your daughter, my wife and I will definitely apologize to you and compensate you for all your losses,”

Qin Yize said, then also lifted his foot.

The trafficker’s chest felt some dull pain from being stepped on, but he rolled over and got up shakily, standing next to the seat.

His gloomy gaze was fixed on Gu Qiaoqiao with dead certainty—it was this damned woman, this stinking bitch, who had ruined his big opportunity.

Getting off the train together was definitely not an option. Now, the only choice left was to run away.

When he got the chance, he would certainly capture her, play with her to his heart’s content, and then sell her off to the remote mountains of the Southwest.

To ensure she never came out for the rest of her life.

As long as the green mountains stand, one need not fear running out of firewood.

The trafficker suddenly turned and ran crazily towards one end of the train car.

Gu Qiaoqiao called out anxiously, “Quick, catch that trafficker, don’t let him get away!”

Before her words even landed, an agile figure charged at the running trafficker like a gust of wind, a kick flew out, and with a scream, the trafficker fell to the ground.

No one had ever escaped from his grasp before now.

Qin Yize stepped on the trafficker’s back and, seeing the train attendant finally come out, furrowed his brows, “Call the train police over, this person is suspected of being a trafficker…”

But at that moment, an old woman who had been sitting quietly nearby suddenly pounced on Gu Qiaoqiao, and then a knife rested against Gu Qiaoqiao’s throat as she shouted at Qin Yize, “Let go of my son…”

Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize had calculated everything, but they hadn’t anticipated that the old woman, who seemed to suffer from fading vision, would turn out to be the trafficker’s accomplice.

And this old woman—indeed an old woman—had hands like chicken claws, yet they were very strong.

She held Gu Qiaoqiao’s neck in a death grip, the tip of the knife pressing against her throat. Gu Qiaoqiao knew all too well that many traffickers had blood on their hands.

She gritted her teeth and cursed, “You lowlife slut, ridden by thousands, used by thousands, a rotten whore, daring to ruin my son’s good deeds, I won’t let you off today…”

Gu Qiaoqiao instantly felt chilled to the bone, her vision beginning to blur as if she were seeing an old woman much like her in appearance, her face twisted with malice, cursing while forcing burning coals into her mouth.

Such memories had tormented her all her life and still tore at her heart like venomous snakes.

Her previous calm and rationality seemed to have abandoned her, and the sounds around her became inaudible.

It was as if her soul had been stripped away.

Her whole body stiffened, unable to move.

Was everything before her real or fake; was she still trapped in the mountains, still being whipped?

Or was this all just a dream?

Qin Yize froze.

What was wrong with Gu Qiaoqiao? Her gaze was so vacant, and she looked as though she had gone mad.

Holding onto the trafficker, he quickly approached the old woman, who was clearly a hardened offender.

Because she had positioned herself in the blind spot of the train seat, using Gu Qiaoqiao as a shield in front of her, she looked triumphantly at Qin Yize, “I’m an old woman nearing sixty, dying wouldn’t be a loss. If you dare touch my son, I will slit this woman’s throat immediately. Now, let my son go.”

Qin Yize quickly assessed the situation; the top priority was not to provoke this desperately wicked old creature.

If Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t been frightened, it would be a different story, but now that Gu Qiaoqiao was in such a state, Qin Yize dared not take any risks.

It was at this moment that the train came to a stop.

The old woman shouted at Qin Yize, “If you don’t release my son, I’ll surely kill her!”
