Chapter 79: Human Trafficker
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were police officers walking about in the police station. Seeing this situation, they immediately surrounded the car. A police officer asked Ye Yao, “What’s going on? Who are they? What’s your relationship with them?”
Ye Yao shook her head. “I don’t know. The moment I stepped out of school, I was pushed into the car and kidnapped.”
“Police, spare us, spare us! We’ve got the wrong person. I was at the school to pick up my sister. She wanted to elope with someone else, so we wanted to bring her home. Because she looks very similar to my sister, we got the wrong person in a hurry. This is a misunderstanding,” the man in black explained.
The police officer didn’t believe him at all. “It’s such a long distance from the school to here. Haven’t you realized that you’ve got the wrong person?”
The man in black continued to quibble. “I really got the wrong person.”
The police ignored the man in black and said to Ye Yao, “Where’s your family? Call them and ask them to come over. This is a vicious kidnapping case, but they insist that they got the wrong person. You’re not injured and don’t have enough evidence. We can’t do anything to them for the time being.” The police sighed. One needed evidence to solve a case. There were many coincidences in Ye Yao’s matter, there wasn’t enough evidence to punish those people who kidnapped her.
Ye Yao nodded. She understood what the police said, but… one could only say, these people were unlucky to have met her. She smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, Uncle Policeman. They will go to jail.” Her words had already sealed their ending.
Ye Yao took out her phone and called Huo Buyu. “Huo Buyu, I was kidnapped at the school gate. I’m at the police station now. The police said that there’s no way to categorize it as a kidnapping case. Can you come over now.”
Huo Buyu was in a meeting. When he heard Ye Yao saying that she had been kidnapped, he stood up and walked out. How could Ye Yao have been kidnapped?
When he arrived at the police station, the chief of police saw him and quickly went up to him. “Young Master Huo, what brings you here…”
Huo Buyu said with an icy expression, “I’m here to pick up my girlfriend.”
Ye Yao was taking a statement. When she heard Huo Buyu’s voice, she quickly shouted, “Huo Buyu, I’m here.”
Huo Buyu nodded at the police chief and walked to Ye Yao’s side. “What happened?”
“I don’t know either.” Ye Yao held Huo Buyu’s hand and said pitifully, “I had just come out of the school gate when these people forcefully pulled me into the car. Later, when I passed by the police station, their tires burst and the car crashed into the police station. That’s how I was saved…
Huo Buyu understood Ye Yao’s explanation. The car wouldn’t have had a flat tire for no reason. Moreover, it had crashed right into the police station. It must have been Ye Yao’s doing.
The police officer in charge of taking Ye Yao’s statement said to Huo Buyu, “Your girlfriend is very lucky. These people happened to drive right into the police station. Otherwise, your girlfriend would have suffered. We’ve investigated. These people are human traffickers. There are already many cases of missing young girls related to them. We’ve been investigating them for a long time, but we haven’t found any evidence…” The police officer sighed again.
Ye Yao was shocked. “No way? They captured me because they wanted to sell me?” She was rather incredulous that she could be sold for money at her age.
When Huo Buyu saw Ye Yao’s gaze, he knew that whatever she was thinking would be different from what other ordinary people would think. He flicked her forehead angrily, and then Ye Yao looked at him pitifully. Huo Buyu gently touched the spot. Then, his gaze landed on the human trafficker who was giving his statement not far away, and his expression clouded over.
The police chief watched from the side and inexplicably felt that the situation was getting serious. These human traffickers were going to be unlucky. They had actually offended Huo Buyu, whom they couldn’t afford to offend.
Huo Buyu said to the police chief, “We can temporarily detain them for investigation. As for the evidence, I’ll send it over soon.” Abducting a young girl? Taking Ye Yao away in front of so many students at the school gate? Huo Buyu wasn’t going to let this matter rest!
At this moment, a girl with messy hair rushed in. “Police! Police! I want to make a report. I was kidnapped. Boohoo, it took me three days to escape. Save me…”
The girl was in a sorry state. It was obvious that she had suffered inhumane abuse. The policewoman beside her quickly threw a coat over the girl and poured her a cup of hot water. “Alright, it’s fine. This is the police station. You’re safe.. Let’s go through the details slowly…”
