The woman sitting in front of Han Ruochen was surprised when she heard Han Yichen’s voice. She turned to look at him and asked softly, "You are...?"

"Their father." Han Yichen introduced himself with a cold voice. He raised his brows and looked at the person in front of him with suspicion in his eyes. Even though the woman was clearly older than his mother, he still felt there was something really fishy about her. Of course, he could be overthinking; this woman could possibly be just enthusiastic, but it was better to be safe than to be sorry.

When the old woman realised that the parent was with the two children, she no longer acted as enthusiastically as she did before. What a shame. The girl was beautiful, and the boy was good-looking. If she could have taken them along with her, then she would have definitely earned a lot of money. Who would have thought that they were actually travelling with a parent?

The old woman pouted in dissatisfaction but did not say anything.

Soon their carriage fell into silence, and Han Yichen asked Han Ruochen to take Han Beijiang to the upper berth. Earlier, he was alright with the two of them sitting at the lower berth, but now he was no longer calm. From the looks of it, the woman in front of him was definitely a human trafficker. Even if he had no proof, it was better to protect his children before worrying about anything else.

The old woman also sensed that the other party was now on guard against her and cursed herself for being too optimistic just now. If she had been careful with her tongue and looked around a little, then she would have found out that Han Yichen was sitting next to these kids; what a shame she lost a good card just like that.

Though the old woman was upset, she did not show anything on her face. She was afraid that if she pretended to be over-cautious, these people might just report her. So she shrank back in her seat and started paying attention to the child in her lap. Han Ruochen looked at the sleeping child in the lap of the old woman with a cold look in her eyes. She did not know what was going on, but she had a feeling that this matter was not as simple as it looked.

Especially the fact that the child stayed quiet and sleepy even when the carriage was bustling with noise.

A child around his age would definitely make a fuss and throw a tantrum if he were brought to a place where he knew no one and was full of strangers, but this child was sleeping soundly! What was more, his cheeks were flushed red. If this woman were really his grandmother, would she ignore the signs of fever just like that?

Han Ruochen was worried about the child, but at the same time, she was also cautious. She came here with Han Beijiang.

She feared that if she was not careful and tried to save the child, this human trafficker might try to hurt Han Beijiang. What was more, she knew that these people never roamed alone. If this old woman were resting here, there must be someone waiting for her. She could not make a move recklessly. Even though Han Ruochen knew that this was selfish, after her rebirth, Han Ruochen wanted to safeguard the safety of her family before anything else. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

However, when she glanced at the flushed face of the boy, she could not help but feel sorry for him as well.

In the end, she sighed and turned her back to the old woman.

Han Yichen was also the same. Even though he suspected the old woman, she had not done anything to him or his children yet; as long as they were on guard, they would be fine. He did not dare to touch this matter.

When the old woman saw that the two of them had turned their backs on her, she heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like these people were only wary of her and did not suspect her of stealing a child. She hurriedly looked around and placed the child on the seat before taking out a bun to eat. She thought that no one was watching, but she did not expect Han Ruochen to be keeping an eye on her. As soon as she used another bag to take the bun out, Han Ruochen’s suspicion became even more certain. She was now more or less certain that this woman in front of her was a human trafficker.

Her heart started to thump wildly.

However, she closed her eyes and started to plan what to do next. She did not want to make a reckless move, or else who knows what these people might do if they were pushed into a corner.

Time slowly started to pass, and it did not take long for dinner time to arrive.

Han Yichen went to the station to get something to eat. Once he was gone, the old woman started to get restless again. She turned to look at Han Ruochen and Han Beijiang, who were now sitting on the upper berth and smiled politely at them. "It seems like your father is having a hard time getting dinner. Do you want to share with me?"

When Han Ruochen saw that the woman was still targeting her and Han Beijiang, she could not help but frown. It seemed like this woman was really not going to stay silent. She, however, did not show her suspicion on her face and instead politely refused. "There is no need, Grandma. My father has told us that we shouldn’t take anything from strangers."

The old woman was not happy when she heard Han Ruochen’s response, but she knew that if she forced it too much, it would look suspicious. So she could only swallow the words in her mouth but the greed in her eyes could not be hidden!
