Lin Xiaoyan looked down at the four or five-year-old boy, her gaze complicated.
"No... it’s fine..."
Lin Xiaoyan looked at the boy’s mother, a young and fashionable woman.
She heard the woman encouraging the child, "Lele, you have to be brave, go to the restroom by yourself, mommy will wait for you outside, go for it!"
Lin Xiaoyan opened her mouth, looking at the cute little boy, then at his mother, and persuaded, "He’s still young, you can take him to the women’s restroom, just close the door then, it’s not safe for him alone..."
The woman heard Lin Xiaoyan’s words, smiled, and said, "No worries, I’ll be waiting at the door, Lele is the best, he can go to the restroom by himself, right?"
"Mm!"
The child obediently walked towards the restroom by himself.
The woman watched her son enter the restroom, glanced at Lin Xiaoyan beside her, and smiled, "It’s okay, my child has been going to the restroom by himself since he was three, he knows how to do it."
Lin Xiaoyan frowned, feeling quite disapproving.
Especially with the scene she just "saw," she felt even more that no matter how old a child is, one should always be cautious!
The woman no longer paid attention to Lin Xiaoyan, glancing towards the restroom and then engrossing herself in her phone.
Lin Xiaoyan saw the woman playing with her phone, feeling increasingly indignant.
She quickly ran towards He Qi’an while she had already noticed a man heading to the restroom.
When she saw the man’s attire, her heart tightened, and she quickly ran towards He Qi’an, who was waiting for her.
He Qi’an had just sat down when he saw Lin Xiaoyan running towards him in a panic, he suddenly stood up and walked over.
"What’s wrong?"
Lin Xiaoyan looked towards the restroom and noticed that the man had already entered.
She hurriedly grabbed He Qi’an’s arm and said urgently, "A three or four-year-old boy went to the restroom by himself, that man just went in and will knock the child out, put him in a trash can, and take him out of the airport..."
He Qi’an listened, "You go call the airport staff.
Just say there’s a human trafficker at the restroom, I’ll head there now!"
"Okay."
He Qi’an swiftly ran towards the restroom, as he entered, the child’s mother looked up. She didn’t see her son come out and continued on her phone.
Lin Xiaoyan quickly walked towards the staff ahead.
"Hello, do you need help with anything?" The staff member noticed Lin Xiaoyan approaching and greeted her with a smile.
"We discovered a human trafficker, now in the restroom..." Lin Xiaoyan quickly said.
The staff member’s face changed at the mention of a trafficker, looking seriously at Lin Xiaoyan.
"Ma’am, are you sure it’s a trafficker?!"
"I’m sure! My friend is already there, by the way, my friend is a police officer." Lin Xiaoyan feared the staff wouldn’t believe her, so she mentioned her friend’s occupation.
Indeed, hearing about a police officer, the staff immediately used a walkie-talkie to notify the airport leadership and security personnel.
He then quickly ran towards the restroom.
Over here, when He Qi’an entered the restroom, he walked softly and silently went inside.
Upon entering, the restroom was empty, but there was movement in a stall!
He Qi’an slowly moved next to it, gently closing the door, waiting quietly for the person inside to open it.
"Bang!"
The door swung open, and He Qi’an quietly stood inside a stall, making no noise.
"Hey, push the trash can in, there’s trash in the restroom, hurry up and clean it!" The man came out, glanced at the restroom finding no one, and made a call on his phone.
Soon, a person dressed as a cleaner pushed a large trash can inside.
The woman saw the cleaner heading towards the men’s restroom and asked her to check if her son had finished.
The cleaner smiled and agreed.
The trash can was pushed inside, and the man quickly carried the unconscious child out of the stall and placed him inside the trash can.
"Hurry, the child’s mom is probably worried!" The cleaner whispered.
As the two were about to leave, He Qi’an stepped out.
The two traffickers: !!!
He Qi’an, with a stern face, directly kicked at the man in front.
The cleaner saw this and realized the man must know their plan.
His expression turned fierce, pulling out a dagger from his pocket to stab He Qi’an.
He Qi’an swiftly dodged, engaging in a fight.
At this moment, the staff member who had come by earlier reached the restroom, hearing the sounds of fighting inside before entering.
He immediately informed his leader about the situation and then entered the restroom with a stun baton.
"What’s going on inside? What happened? My child is still inside, Lele... Lele..."
The woman realized something was wrong, anxiously moving forward.
The staff member stopped her promptly.
"Ma’am, please wait outside patiently, I’ll go in and assess the situation!"
"No, my son is in there... Lele..." The woman finally panicked.
Lin Xiaoyan quickly came over, grabbing the woman, and shouted to the staff, "You go in and help!"
The staff immediately headed into the restroom.
"Let me go! Let go! My son is in there..."
The woman shouted loudly, desperately trying to get in to find her child.
Lin Xiaoyan struggled to hold her back, "You can’t go in, don’t worry, your child will be fine, you’ll interfere with them catching people!"
"Catch people? Catch who?" The woman clutched Lin Xiaoyan’s clothes, urgently asking.
At this moment, airport security and staff rushed over, Lin Xiaoyan pointed to the men’s restroom, "They’re in there."
The security quickly entered the restroom holding stun batons.
Meanwhile, two staff members calmed the hysterical woman.
Lin Xiaoyan moved her arm, "Hiss..."
She looked at the scratch on her arm, wincing in pain with a hiss.
Just then, He Qi’an was adjusting his clothes as he walked out. Seeing the bleeding scratch marks on Lin Xiaoyan’s arm, he furrowed his brows and quickly walked over.
"What happened here? How did you get hurt?"
"Lele! Lele! What happened to my Lele?" The woman beside was desperately trying to enter the restroom, her voice filled with tears.
Lin Xiaoyan glanced, asking He Qi’an, "How’s the child?"
He Qi’an looked down at the scratches on Lin Xiaoyan’s arms, clearly claw marks. He frowned deeply and looked sharply at the screaming woman.
"Did she do it?"
Lin Xiaoyan sighed helplessly, "Mm, she heard the commotion inside. She insisted on going in, I was afraid she’d get hurt and interfere, so I stopped her..."
"Lele! Lele!"
Suddenly, the woman shouted joyfully.
Lin Xiaoyan looked over, noticing a staff member carrying the unconscious child out.
At this moment, passengers were drawn by the commotion, gathering around.
He Qi’an pulled Lin Xiaoyan, "Come, I’ll take you to the hospital."
"Ah? No need, just buying some iodine from a pharmacy and applying it will be fine, no need to go to the hospital."
Suddenly, He Qi’an turned, walking towards the woman who was crying while holding her son.
