Before finding Xia Mei, honestly, Xia Chuyi was more worried about Wang Xiaofang.
There was no helping it; Song Yingjie’s cowardly appearance had given her unpleasant associations.
However, seeing Xia Mei boldly running towards the Police Station asking for protection could only mean two things: one, she was in league with the police, or two, she hadn’t harmed Wang Xiaofang or, at least, hadn’t gone as far as killing.
Given Xia Mei’s overall behavior, Xia Chuyi leaned towards the latter.
If it had been the first, Xia Mei would have been very arrogant since she wouldn’t have been convicted.
And the second was naturally more pleasing to Xia Chuyi.
Regardless, everything hinged on the Police Station’s final investigation.
Upon arriving at the Police Station, one officer who noticed the liberation army soldier following Xia Chuyi was instantly surprised.
"Commander Jiang?" the officer exclaimed.
"Hello, Mr. Chen!" Commander Jiang greeted him with a smile and then casually pointed at Xia Chuyi, saying, "This is my little sister-in-law."
Could you be more straightforward? "
Commander Jiang said, "Oh right, the little sister-in-law is Commander Huo’s wife."
The officer: It wasn’t necessary to be that blunt.
"Ahem, I’ll go see how the interrogation is coming along." Overwhelmed by Commander Jiang, the officer voluntarily entered the interrogation room.
When the interrogation ended, Mr. Chen emerged and told everyone, "We’ve found out that Xia Mei hadn’t directly done anything harmful to Wang Xiaofang."
Upon hearing this, both Father Wang and Mrs. Wang sighed in relief and quickly asked, "Then Officer, did Xia Mei say where she hid the person?"
Mr. Chen shook his head and said, "Hid? She didn’t hide her."
"This matter, it’s not easy to explain all at once. Everyone, please head to the office, and I’ll come explain everything."
Once everyone was in the conference office, Mr. Chen began explaining the case details.
It turned out that after an argument with Wang Xiaofang, Xia Mei left, and Wang Xiaofang hesitated but didn’t leave, nor did she plan to go home.
Seeing she hadn’t gone home, Xia Mei devised a plan.
Xia Mei found someone to deceive Wang Xiaofang into going to the Southern region to work.
At this point, Xia Chuyi’s gaze flickered, asking, "That ’classmate,’ was he an ordinary person?"
Mr. Chen glanced at her approvingly and said, "You ask rightly.
"That person was indeed not an ordinary individual."
"A human trafficker?" asked a pale-faced Mrs. Wang.
Mr. Chen shook his head and said, "Not exactly, but something similarly despicable!"
Pausing for a moment, Mr. Chen looked at Father Wang and Mrs. Wang and said, "That person specialized in using every possible means to trick people from our area, under various pretexts, to move to the Southern region to work for low wages. Sometimes, they might even force them to do things they shouldn’t..."
Pausing again, Mr. Chen continued, "In such cases, as long as we know the deceivers’ arrangements in the Southern city, we can naturally rescue the victims."
"Now, the issue is that Xia Mei genuinely doesn’t know where in City G the workplace is."
Upon hearing this, Father Wang and Mrs. Wang were instantly shocked.
Mr. Chen added, Xia Mei had confessed that the person was Tian Jie, a former classmate; she only knew Tian Jie worked in City G, but the exact address was unknown.
Every year, Sister Tian would take three to five girls to work in City G.
Xia Chuyi’s gaze flickered, all girls?
She had a bad premonition—as she had once encountered such so-called "middlemen" who painted exceedingly rosy pictures.
Yet, upon arrival, those with good looks were immediately taken to "hair salons."
Such "hair salons" were merely fronts for disreputable establishments.
