Han Ziyan could not understand why Han Ruochen was bent on causing so much trouble. What good would it do to her if she and her mother ended up in trouble? But Han Ruochen was not at home, and she could not say a word to her, nor could she ask the questions that were burning in her chest. But she hated Han Ruochen to her bones now. It seemed like she really underestimated that woman; she shouldn’t have been kind to her! It would have been better if she ruined her reputation earlier so that Han Ruochen wouldn’t cause trouble for her.

Now she was the one who was suffering. It would have been better if she had killed that woman when she still had the time! Now all she could do was regret.

Han Ziyan was filled with anger and frustration, while Han Ruochen was filled with fear as she looked at the old woman who seemed to have become even more enthusiastic.

"My son and daughter-in-law both live in the city, but they are too careless while taking care of their son," the old woman remarked with a heavy sigh. "Just look at this; the boy ended up getting feverish because they were not paying attention to him."

She sighed and commented, "This is why it is important for the old ones to stay with their children. Without us, they are like headless chickens who know nothing."

"You are indeed correct." Han Yichen nodded. His wariness had gone down in the past few hours after he saw how the old woman was interacting with everyone. However, he still kept his distance from her just in case. Beside him, Han Ruochen was sitting as if she were sitting on pins and needles. She knew that the old woman had won the hearts of the people in the carriage with her lively talk.

"Of course, I am," the old woman said with a polite smile. Her gaze softened as she looked down at the boy in her arms and sighed softly. "It is a good thing that I went to see them, or else who knows what will happen to this little one."

The way she spoke was as if she were truly his grandmother. If Han Ruochen did not know the truth, then she, too, would have misunderstood the situation and thought this old woman was a kind grandmother who was truly worried about her grandson and nothing else.

I hope that Brother Muchen will arrive here quickly, or else there will be trouble, thought Han Ruochen worriedly.

She was not worried about just the little boy but also about herself and Han Beijiang. As for Han Beijiang, he had no idea what was going on; he was sitting contentedly in the lap of his sister, watching the trees and the buildings that were passing by the train.

In his heart, this was probably the best day of his life.

He had his sister by his side, and there were many new and interesting things that he could watch.

The old woman turned complacent when she saw that the people in the carriage had more or less believed her. She was now waiting for Brother Scar to make a move. The sooner they catch this woman and her brother, the sooner they will be able to get off this train and leave. She had asked around; there were two trains leaving at the same time at the next station. They could take advantage of the night and leave when everyone was sleeping.

Han Ruochen saw her flickering gaze and knew that there was something going on in the mind of the woman. She tightened her hold on Han Beijiang and narrowed her eyes. Worst came to worst; she would fight to the death with these people if they tried to make a move on her brother.

While Han Ruochen was preparing for the worst, Brother Scar was preparing the knockout drugs. In the end, he could not ignore the temptation of earning a good sum of money. The girl was indeed good-looking, as long as he sold her off, the money would be enough to buy a house in the capital. Those young men in the capital would die to buy a woman as good-looking as Han Ruochen.

"How are we going to do it?" said one of the human traffickers. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"We have to do it the rude way," a sharp glint flashed in Brother Scar’s eyes. "Those two kids are really sharp; they won’t take a bite of the food given to them. Naturally, we will have to knock them out in the old way." If possible, he would have loved to do it in a much more polite way, as he did not want to damage the ’goods’, but who asked those two brats to be so careful?

They were the ones who refused to listen to reason and had to do it the rude way.

The other human trafficker frowned when he heard this. "Are you sure? What if someone sees us?" The train was filled with passengers. If someone saw them dragging the woman away, they would definitely cause a fuss. If they were caught, that would be really troublesome.

Brother Scar also knew the risk, but he was unwilling to give up. Who asked the woman to look so pretty? He shook his head and insisted, "This time the goods are really good. We cannot give up on them; if we sell those two, then we will be able to live quietly for a while without any fuss." Brother Scar was also tired of running around and selling kids and women. He also wanted to settle down and live in peace.

After all, he had grown up and needed someone to take care of his needs. If he continued to live like this, then he was worried that he would end up growing old alone. He naturally wanted a woman to grow old beside him so how could he accept the life of a thug?
