Chapter 209: Staying at a Hotel with My Wife

Zhu Yanyi read for a while, then went to sleep. Being away from home, she stayed alert. Around two in the morning, she woke up to use the toilet. As she headed back to her compartment, she saw the suspicious man from earlier sneaking around. She seemed to be looking for something. Zhu Yanyi hid in the shadows to watch.

She saw her stop at the compartment next to where Zhu Shun Yao and the others were staying. she took out a thin tube, about the size of a wheat straw. she slightly opened the door and blew into it.

Seeing this, Zhu Yanyi quietly retreated. She went to find the train police officer.

Although there were few officers on duty, they worked day and night and were very responsible. Zhu Yanyi approached one directly. "Uncle Police Officer, I am a passenger in the soft sleeper, carriage three."

"What's wrong, little girl?" Even though it was the middle of the night, the officer was polite. The current train police were all veterans, so they were strict and disciplined.

Zhu Yanyi quickly told her what she had seen. The officer knew that child traffickers were active on the railways recently. She listened to Zhu Yanyi and followed her quickly. Just then, they saw the man sneaking out. He had likely not found his target in the first room. He moved to Zhu Shun Yao’s compartment, took out the same tube, slightly opened the door, and blew something inside.

About thirty seconds later, the man quietly opened the door and went in. Zhu Yanyi and the officer arrived at the door. The man did not see them standing there. She took out a flashlight and shone it on the faces of the passengers.

Zhu Yanli was on the left upper bunk. Zhu Zhibin was on the right upper bunk. Zhu Shun Yao and Xie Xinlian were on the lower bunks on both sides.

Being a thief was not easy, especially when deciding who to steal. He looked at Zhu Yanli and Zhu Zhibin. Both seemed like possible targets. Finally, he gritted his teeth and picked up Zhu Zhibin. He probably thought the little boy was easier to carry.

Zhu Yanyi spoke softly, "Uncle, why are you carrying my brother in the middle of the night?"

The man was stunned. His hands loosened. Zhu Zhibin was about to fall. Zhu Yanyi stepped forward quickly and caught him with one hand. Then she patted his bottom. "Stop pretending. I know you are awake."

Zhu Zhibin laughed and woke up. He hugged Zhu Yanyi’s neck. "Sister, am I great? Did I pretend to be unconscious well?"

"You did well. You can act now. If I hadn’t come, what would you have done?" Zhu Yanyi praised her, then asked curiously.

"It’s simple. I have the medicine you gave me. I would throw it at him. Then I would shout loudly. That would surely wake the police uncle." Zhu Zhibin was six years old. He was either very brave or just careless. He was not scared at all. Instead, he was very excited. "Sister, does this count as police and citizens working together to catch a trafficker?"

"I think you just want a spanking."

Zhu Shun Yao, Xie Xinlian, and Zhu Yanli had all gotten up. Cheng Baokun and others from the next compartment also came over.

The trafficker realized she had met tough people. She tried to rush out. Zhu Yanyi snorted coldly. She kicked her with her left leg, knocking her to the ground. Her face showed a gentle smile. "Uncle, you still haven’t answered me. Why did you come to our compartment in the middle of the night and try to carry my brother?"

The man was kicked hard. He lay on the ground, holding his stomach, refusing to get up. He pretended to be unconscious.
